Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 58: Counter Plan



[POV Bai Chang]

Slowly but steadily, he is creeping into my heart.

Today he still got flowers for me. The same ones like before, I really love them.

(I did jump the gun on him when I proposed our engagement out of nowhere.)

'Am I falling for him?'

'Then, what about the real Bai Chang?'

While I am lost in my thoughts, the door to the study room opens.

"Are we hanging out here?" Qiang asked as he walked into the room.

"Sit down we have some matters to discuss," I said as I say myself on the couch.

"Okay" 

He joined me on the couch.

"What bid are you involved with?" I directly cut to the chase.

"Bid.." 

He looked surprised, after taking a moment to think through he replied, "Today, at the company I was informed that our cyber-security encryption code would go through a bidding process for the government. It is their ploy I guess to reduce the final payout amount."

"How is it going to take place?" I asked.

"Apparently through a semi-formal corporate gathering to make the private company deal with each other. Reduce the power of the private companies to facilitate government purchase, as well as, autonomy on the product."

'So Feling is after this... Huh..'

"It's a trap," I spoke out aloud.

"What?"

Qiang looked shocked.

"I have my reasons to believe that." 

"Well…" Qiang clearly wanted to know more.

So I got my laptop. Hooked it up with 'Jiffy'. 

Some encrypted data crowded the screen and then a room came in view. It was dull with the entire walls covered in monitors. There is a kitchen in one corner. In the middle of the room, a man was lounging on an armchair as he scrolls through monitor after monitor.

"Who is he and why…" I intercepted Qiang.

"He is Feling. He is monitoring our company. This bid is his opportunity to attack you as well as get some action out of me." I replied.

"That son of a b**ch" He swore as he saw himself on Feling's monitor. It's footage from today morning in his company meeting.

"Cool down, get level headed," I advised him.

He took deep breaths as he tried to calm himself down.

(I understand how difficult it is to know that you are under surveillance.)

"Qiang, for this bidding event, I want to go with you."

"No" he immediately replied.

"I can help you better than you can," I said as I pointed to the screen.

He really looked pissed. If he could he would wage a bloodbath.

"Trust me, I will take care of myself. I can handle this situation better than you could." I replied.

He really didn't want me to go with him. 

(I understand that he wants to keep me away from Feling. Aww…)

For the next few hours, we talk among ourselves to outline a plan.

[Knock… Knock]

"Bai Chang, dinner is served, I am coming in." Zhang Wei spoke up from the other side of the door.

"Come in"

Zhang Wei served our dinner on the coffee table.

As he was about to move out, I asked him, "Zhang Wei, would you like to join us for a game."

He looked at me, all confused.

"Just join us for around. Do not be a spoilsport here."

"Huh…" 

He still looked confused but still replied, "Okay".
