A Billion Dollar Exchange

The rest of the week flew very fast. Liling was mostly preoccupied with composing her songs and practicing with the home piano. Kim normally accompanied her, and although she did not know much about songs, she could tell when a song is good to the ears; she spent most of her free time with Liling in the piano room, listening to her play. S by Thursday night, Liling had completed the task.

That night, before she slept, she called Liu Wei, reminding him to get his things intact before his flight the next day.

''…Have you booked your flight? Is your luggage ready?''

''Liling everything is ready, I'll be back before two o'clock tomorrow, not to worry.''

Liu Wei assured her seeing that she was a bit tensed.

''Alright, I'll leave you to sleep now. I don't want you waking up late tomorrow. Goodnight.''

''So fast? We haven't even spoken for up to thirty minutes and you're hanging up already!''

Liu Wei whined. These past days, she had really been busy with the songs and they did not talk much. He too was very busy, but that day, the client he was to meet rescheduled their meeting till the next week in China, so he was quite free, therefore, he was slightly unhappy that she was hanging up so soon.

''We'll talk all we want tomorrow. Now, you have to get some sleep, I too need to sleep. I don't want to disappoint my manager tomorrow. Sweet dreams, dream of me.''

She teased as she delved deeper into her quilt and shut her eyes.

''I will. Goodnight.''

When Liu Wei was sure that she was deep in sleep, he disconnected the call and dialed another number. Standing up from the cushion, he walked towards the window.

''What did you find?''

''Sir, the number belongs to an influential person. From the look of things, the person could have used another number, unless he wanted to be discovered.

Sir, it seems this person wants you to know that he's the one.''

Liu Wei's brows creased as he heard what the person at the other end said. He pinched between his brows, and then asked;

''Who's he?''

''Sir, we have sent the details to your Email box.''

''Alright''

Liu Wei cut the call and walked towards the center table and picked up his tablet.

He sat down on one of the cushions then clicked open his email icon.

It refreshed immediately and he saw an email from the private investigations, clicking it open, he read through it slowly. His hands paused instantly as his eyes met a familiar name.

Su Min…

…

''Baby, good morning, are you on the way to the airport?''Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

'' To the airport? It's still 6:35am and my flight is by nine!''

''Oh! By nine? Okay, but you need to be at the airport by eight or earlier so you won't miss your flight!''

Liling whined, she had missed him so bad that she could not imagine coming back to the house without seeing him.

''Wifey, are you on your period?''

Liu Wei, who was woken up from sleep by the incessant ringing of his phone, could not help but ask.

''What? '' Liling was taken aback by the question. Her face instantly turned a shade of red.

''You're so worked up this morning, maybe it's your pe…''

''No! Just don't miss your flight okay, if my manager discharges me earlier, I will come to the airport to pick you up, but if not, I'll see you when I'm back. Have a safe trip!''

Liling cut the call immediately, not waiting for a reply from him.

She quickly got dressed and rushed down to have a good meal, after which she went outside to her car which was already waiting for her.

By seven forty five, she was already in the company, sitting outside her manager's office with a smile plastered on her face. Even though she was not sure of pleasing the stone faced woman today, she was sure that she was not going to get screamed at.

At exactly five minutes to eight, the manager arrived. As the last time, she looked strict and her hair was up in a ponytail. She did not acknowledge Liling's presence but left the door open when she walked in.

''Good morning Ma'am, hope you night was good?''

Liling greeted with her lips slightly stretched into a smile. From the outside, she appeared quite calm and collected, but only she knew how fast her heart was beating.

The woman who had just sat down, looked up at her for a moment, and then frowned.

''Sit!''

Liling's butt met with the seat as soon as the word left the woman's mouth. She could not explain the force that pulled her down, all she knew was that the woman had said something and the next moment she was sitting down.

''Let me see it?''

Liling stared at the woman's outstretched hand for a moment before her brain quickly reminded her of the task she had told her to accomplish.

She quickly dipped her hand into her bag and took out the notebook, then handed it to the woman.

She took it from her and scanned through it for a moment. Liling's heart was pounding as she watched her look through the pages of the note book.

''Can you sing them?''

Miss Su asked as she closed the book and dropped it in front of Liling.

''Eh, You mean now?'' Liling's eyes widened in surprise, she was surprised that the woman had asked her to sing them, since the last time, she did not say anything about singing.

''Do you intend to just write lyrics? Choose any piece and sing to my hearing.

Liling's eyes popped out since she did not see that coming. Although she wrote the songs and knew how to sing them, she never practiced with the intention of singing to her manager.

Her hands shook briefly as she picked up the notebook from the table. She cleared her throat and stood up, then skipped through the pages slowly.

Her eyes met with a favorite piece, so she picked it.

''Ma'am, I'll be singing 'When I look at you'…''

''Wait…''

Liling who had almost started singing was confused as to why she was told to stop; she gazed at her manager who looked as though she was contemplating about something.

''My schedule is not so tight today, so since I have spare time on my hands, why don't we practice with some musical instruments?''

''!!!''

Liling who thought her day would be over soon, so she would be able to pick Liu Wei up at the airport couldn't help but sulk as she followed Miss Su to a small studio on the last floor of the company.

As they walked in, Miss Su closed the door behind her. She took out her own phone and switched it off, then placed it back into her bag.

''Can you switch off your phone, I don't like distractions''

Liling did not want to since she wanted to know when Liu Wei arrived, but she had no choice. She grudgingly took out her phone and switched it off, then placed it back into her bag.
