Arriving at her place, Zhang Liling finished eating the food her housekeeper prepared for her before going into a series of calls.

First she spoke with Mr. Fang to inform him about her arrival. Then exchanging one or two info, she hung up on him and moved over to the next person.

Chuanli was excited to have received a customized package from her and couldn't for another second before phoning her as soon as he set his eyes on the box.

"Miss Zhang, I see I have a place in your heart." he said amid laughter.

"Of course, I will never forget you. After all, you helped me get that difficult friend of yours," Zhang Liling replied with a smile.

"It's nothing. Is he still being a little hard to manage?" Chuanli probed as his ears immediately perked up as an interesting smile graced his lips.

He seems curious to know more about his friend's emotional stance at the moment.

"He is no longer that difficult to handle, but he is not at his best, so I can't give up."

Spacing out with images of Mr. Fang being too good to her surfacing in her heads, she added, "I can only be satisfied when he is completely smitten by me."

"That state where he does everything you request for without a second thought?" Chuanli asked with a grin, sending a wink she couldn't see.

"Bingo!" She asked, flipping her hair to the side with a proud smile.

Chuanli wanted to say that she was asking for too much as having known Fang Bingwen since childhood, that she was already getting the best of him. But because he was solidly behind her, he refrained from ruining her motive.

"Miss Zhang, I really appreciate your special present, but I don't think I need these makeup products." He said instead as he listened for her response.

"Dr. Li?" Zhang Liling called out. And receiving his response, she continued.

"You should give them to your girlfriend."

"I don't have any."

"How can a good looking doctor like you still be single? Do you want to get to Mr. Fang's age before you consider to settle down?"

"Pffttt... Hahahaha...."

Immediately Chuanli burst into laughter, nearly falling off his chair.

Was she making fun of Fang Bingwen by using him to set an example for him?

He wondered what the man would do when he finds out about this. Zhang Liling was truly ridiculous.

"Miss Zhang, I think you should keep this to yourself and away from Bingwen's ears if you don't want him to ignore you for the rest of the year." He advised while still laughing his ass out.

He just couldn't help it, but Zhang Liling didn't seem to mind.

It's not like she was daft enough to say those words to Mr. Fang's face. Waving the matter aside, she went back to her earlier point.

"Dr. Li, don't just have flings with women, date one and gift the makeup products to her. I'm sure you might have a sister or a cousin you can give it to, in case you fail to woo a woman."

Just then, a nurse knocked and walked into Chuanli's office with worry written all over her face.

"Miss, Zhang, thank you for your advise. This good-looking doctor must run along now." He said, managing a smile at the end.

"Alright. See you at Glint's first event." Zhang Liling said to him as their conversation came to an end.

As soon as she dropped the call with him, Tungmei's call came in.

Immediately, her index finger slid across her phone screen before placing the phone back on her ear. As soon as she did that, Tungmei's questioning tone came.

"Girl, what kind of international call have you been on since? Do you know how many times I've tried your line?"

"What's going on?"

Instantly, Tungmei's tone changed from that of impatience to happiness. "I'm just getting home, only to see a big package from you."

Saying that, she flipped the foundation bottle in her hand as her eyes moved across the content of the open box on her thighs.

Her face was full of smiles as she continued.

"I can see the handwritten note which I am yet to read. Liling, thank you so much," She said, finally tearing off her gaze from the products that now belonged to her.

"It's nothing. As a special someone, you deserve a package like that. Don't forget the date and time. If I don't see you, I will delete your contact from my phone." Zhang Liling threatened with a smile hanging at the corner of her lips.

She didn't mean what she said, but that didn't men's that she would be happy if she didn't see her friend at her brand opening.

"Of course I will come!" Tungmei said in-between laughter. "I will be the first guest to arrive."

"That will be great. If you come on time, I will take you on a tour. That will be my present."

Hearing that, Tungmei immediately got all riled up. She would love to so very much see the interior and exterior of Glint.

Ending her conversation with her best friend, Zhang Liling went on to face time her mother just to show her the customized packed she left for her.

"Did you have to go to this extent?" Song Jujing asked with a smile while glancing at the box that had her name printed on the cover.

Although her tone sounded displeased that her daughter was wasting resources at just the starting point of her business, she couldn't help but be happy with the special gift box in her name.

"This brand is for luxury, so I have to act like it," Zhang Liling explained.

"That's a good packaging you've got there. At least you learnt something meaningful from me after staying by my side."

"I know you will not hesitate to praise yourself. Thanks, I really appreciate the fact that you are my mother, and I could learn a few important things from you."

"You are most welcomed." Song Jujing winked at her, before bringing up another topic.

"Do you want anything from Paris? I have already started gathering my things for the journey."
