When she didn't out rightly decline, he opened his backpack and brought out his laptop .

"I want you to go through the contents of this folder . There is a presentation and a sheets with figures . Tell me what you make of it", he pushed the laptop towards her .

Unsure of what awaited her, Jia Li scrolled through the first few slides before going back and reading them at length . The room was silent for the next twenty minutes, punctuated only by the clicks of Wang Wei's phone as he waited for her to finish reading up . She shut the laptop with a decisive click .

"You know I am not a big believer of fate . But it seems like that you came to Moganshan as my salvation . I am in! Tell me when to start", she said with a small smile .

He gave a start .

He had originally come up with the idea opening up English Language Coaching Institute in tier II towns for Chu . It was one of the ways that he had hoped to persuade her to stay back in China . But post the conversation at the coffee shop, he had thought that maybe Jia Li could be the right person for this . As things stood, there was no way that Chu would have the inclination or the time for this .

"I am surprised but really glad to have you on-board for this so quickly . There are few things that you need to know upfront though . One, this is a project being funded by our company, which means in one way Tang would be your boss . Secondly, the salary won't be much yet since it's a start-up and I have barely managed to get funding for the initial phase . Actually they all have written off this money . My father and Tang along with his father think that I won't manage to make this a success . I don't blame them for thinking like this . I have been extremely indifferent and unfocussed towards life per se up until now," he summarised with a self depreciating smile .

She waited a beat before answering, "I am fine with the low pay . The idea is to help make the institute approachable and viable for as many children and adults out there . Learning English has become the need of the hour and would improve the chances of employment multi-fold for the adults . Also, as a tourist destination, it would help improve our image and number of foreign visitors . It would also be beneficial to the children while applying to schools and colleges in bigger cities . "

Hesitating a little, she continued, "as for me working for Tang's company, I will only take up this offer on the promise that my identity would be hidden from Tang and his family . From what I have read till now, this is your brain child and has nothing to do with him . I don't see why does he ever need to be told about who is at the helm of this institute . Also, this is not directly linked to the company's main FMCG business, right . Hence the chances of him visiting the place would be nearly zero . So if you promise to keep your mouth shut about my involvement here, I don't have any issues . I am ready to start when you tell me . "

"You have my word on that . I will never voluntarily give away your identity to anyone," he said solemnly .

He continued, "but you don't need to join in right away . As of now, the building isn't fully ready yet . And we haven't hired enough staff…"

She interrupted him, "doesn't matter . I don't mind helping in finding the right people . Also, we can at least start spreading the word in the nearby areas about such an institute" .

She had needed a direction and this seemed as good as any to start walking in . She was done thinking about the past and its sorrows .
