This time Ryan has particularly come to make sure of her place beside the man whom she has always thought the only one for herself. But she has never thought when she will be all ready to make bold efforts, the man would already have someone else in his life. She was simply not able to accept it.

Not having any option for the time being, she followed the man out in the direction of the conference room where the collaboration signing process has been decided to be held. While following her the only name that was playing back to back in her head was 'Li Xue', the person whose name she has heard from before.

When Feng Shufen reached the conference room, the people from the other team had already been settled around the table. His own personal team of executives were settled at one side. The chairs were arranged in a way where the CEOs of both the companies will be sitting equally at the head side of the table.

The old man has already made himself comfortable on his chair and was still busy discussing some details with his executive team. Like he was making sure of everything with utmost perfection. He was still in the mood to check everything once again when suddenly he felt some footsteps nearing.

Turning his head towards the entrance, his lips curled upwards as a smile of happiness glowed in his lips and eyes, when he spotted her daughter arriving with the man who has always been the epitome of perfection.

But then his old eyes caught the disappointment and anger in the eyes of his daughter which gave a pause to the smile he had on his face.

Everyone stood up in unison, as they realized his royal arrival. When they saw the lady by his side, they could not help but show the admiration for the couple they assumed to be in making. The old CEO did not need to stand up in respect but still the air in the room compelled him to show the respect needed.

"I did not intend to keep you waiting Mr. Kim. Some urgent works were really waiting for my attention. I hope you would understand", Feng Shufen said as he extended his hand in the front to give a formal shake of greeting to the old CEO.

"Oh not at all. I know Mr. Feng would have already tried his best to make this early", the old man said, shaking the hand as his eyes got trailed towards his daughter, who had a sign of loss in her eyes. Not understanding what went wrong he said, "Ryan? What happened? Have you told your friend how hard you have worked on this collaborating project?"

The lady was snapped back from her thoughts when she heard her father's voice referring to her. A soft smile passed through her lips as she shook her head, "I didn't got time to discuss that"

"It's okay. You will be getting enough time after the signing ceremony. And there are also things that I need to discuss with Mr. Feng. I hope Mr. Feng would spare some of his valuable time to listen to my words", the words were directed to the man who was standing there with all nonchalance.

"Sure!" he said, nodding his head and then gesturing to everyone to take their seat.

Gao Fan entered the room with the two lawyers following him from behind. Handing the final arranged legal contract papers, he went back to stand behind his boss while the lawyers made their way toward the end of the room.

Though the papers were already being checked several times, that would never mean that Feng Shufen will sign it without going through it once again. Not because he has no faith in the people working for him but it was to prevent any chance of errors.

Following the process and procedure, the collaboration got signed and the lawyer took them forward for the further process. The team that has arrived, forwarded their congratulations with the team they will be going to work in the future.

"It's an honor for K. M. Enterprises to have a collaboration with Feng Internationals. A relationship that is bound to make profits", the old man said in the words of congratulation.

"We hope the same", Feng Shufen said with affirmation and turned to look at his secretary for something. Gao Fan instantly got the words of his President. He nodded and went to make the arrangements.

The old man Kim, looked at the secretary and felt that it was true when people say that a great man will always have a person by his side who will always understand his every order without any word. Sigh! Not everyone was lucky to have someone like that on their side. This young man was really praisable for his ways and strong footing in this industry.

"Ahh I almost forgot to tell you something Mr. Feng. Ryan will be staying here for quite some time. Since she has been in charge of this project from our side, I was planning to let her be here with you and your team so that she can learn something more from your effective ways. It's a request. Hope you can consider it", he said going according to the wishes of her daughter.

Feng Shufen looked at the woman, calculating the motives. After sometime, he nodded and said in a diplomatic tone, "If that's going to lead this project towards profit then I won't mind Ms. Kim's presence being here. But I doubt I would have time to look after her" his words were very much clear and were heard by everyone present in the room.

The people around were all surprised by their President's aloof words. Was he really going to give the cold shoulder to the woman of his life too. If it were for some other person then they won't be shocked but wasn't she the woman in his heart? They doubted their thoughts.

CEO Kim looked at the man who was being courteous with his words but at the same time has been given a feeling of insult. The words were so swift and gentle that no one could point their fingers on it. He felt infuriated but there was no way he could retaliate. He wanted to say something but his daughter held him back with her words. "It doesn't matter President Feng's little time is also sufficient as long as I can I can have it"

The old man shook his head internally. His daughter was really stubborn. She will take the pain but won't let go the knife that was hurting her with its sharpness.

At this moment Gao Fan came in and whispered something in his President's ears. Feng Shufen smiled and then said, "Okay, we should head for lunch. It's already been prepared". Saying his words, he gestured the team out before leading the way himself.
