"I am crazily in love with her," Wei interrupted him with this admission .

He continued with a wry smile, "I have fallen for her, hook, line and sinker . She is the one for me . I want to make my intensions crystal clear to you so that there is no awkwardness in the interactions that are bound to occur between you, her and me . "

Tang clamped down the roar of possessiveness which ignited inside him upon hearing these words .

"As I mentioned earlier, my past or future with her isn't and should be of no concern to you . I appreciate your candidness, though it's a bit late, don't you think? Anyways, this is not what I wanted to discuss with you . Apparently Dad received a call from the Ministry . They are unhappy about the fact that our company is running the English Language institute without their blessings and also only in one town . Credit to you and…err, your team for making the project so successful that it has caused ripple effect in even the government . So now, dad wants to milk it for all the positive publicity that it may garner . Your father is on board for the same as well," he paused .

He, then, continued with a nonchalant expression, "they have decided to open four more such institutes . A tidy budget has been allocated for the same . I wanted to give you the good news personally . I believe the detailed plan would be discussed during the meeting on Saturday . "

Wei dialled Jia Li the minute he came out of Tang's office . He couldn't wait to give her the good news .

Tang stood next to the window after Wei had left the cabin . But his mind didn't register the serenity of the golf course which was visible from the tall French windows in his office . He felt a moment's guilt at his own duplicity but squashed it down ruthlessly the very next minute . He couldn't afford to think about other people's emotions . He rang up his father's secretary and asked her if his father was free for drinks later that evening .

"You mean I will have to come to set-up the institute in a sub urban area around Shanghai?" Jia Li asked in dismay .

Wei had just shared the news about their company's expansion plan with her .

"I am really looking forward to you coming down here and working in the same city with me . I will be able to drop you to work and pick you up too, apart from spending the weekend with you," he said with a smile .

Mumbling an excuse about another call coming on her phone, Jia Li put down his call . She leaned back in her seat . Her heartbeats matched the speed of the car that she was travelling in . There was no way that she would go to Shanghai for work . Last night was a reminder about why it was important for her to maintain distance from Tang . Everything ceased to matter when she came within ten meters of him .

He was a burning matchstick to her existence as dry leaves!

"I will explain it to Wei face-to-face when he comes down next weekend," she thought .

Tang shook hands with the last bit of shareholders exiting from the big conference room . For the past two years, he had been presiding over the meetings instead of his father, who was the biggest stakeholder in the company . In contrast, this was the first time that Wei had made it to the meeting .

"I am glad to see that you have decided to take active interest in the business," said Mr . Xie to Wang Wei in presence of his father .

Slightly embarrassed at his son's callous attitude towards work up until recently, Mr . Wang cleared his throat and said, "as long as he has mended his ways, I am not complaining . Not everyone can be lucky like you to have a son who took over work as soon as he finished studies . Such sincere kids are tough to find these days . "

"That is not a fair comparison, Uncle . The way Wei has been working in the past year, he would catch up with me soon enough," Tang came to his defence .

The four of them were sitting in a hotel's coffee shop after wrapping up the shareholder's meet .

"The success of his maiden project is garnering us major accolades from the government . He has managed to do that single handily, without support from any of us," he said further .

Wei raised his hand, "please stop . Now you are being overly kind . I know that I have been negligent all these years but henceforth, I would give my hundred percent to the business . "

Mr . Xie nodded, "you have our support . Your father and I have discussed the Language institute project . We think it is a scalable model and the Education ministry has agreed to fund it partially . Once we have identified other suitable places, we can set the institutes there simultaneously . It would save us time and effort needed from our end . "
