Against Fate (Eternal Love of Dream/Pillow Book FanFic)

2. Who are you?

Feng Jiu made a mad dash towards the nearest elevator, and the doors closed right before the two men could get to her. Her heart pounded so hard that it was causing her to feel breathless. Then she immediately took her phone out and called the police.

Cha Cha left a text message to her, "Feng Jiu, where are you now? Are you ok? You seem to be taking such a long time. By the way, they are having a press meeting which concerns the recent lawsuit with Mo Jie International. There are reporters from everywhere, that's why it was so crowded. Come back quickly. The interview is going to start soon!"

Feng Jiu frantically called Cha Cha.
"Listen carefully to me, Cha Cha. I have no time to explain now, but trust me and follow what I say! I bumped into two guys trying to set fire, near to the back entrance of the building. I'm not sure if the fire spread out yet but get everyone to leave the building immediately! Avoid the back entrance! I'm safe for now, and I'll try to find a way out. Don't worry about me now. Go quickly!"

----------------------------------------

The elevator went all the way up to the 48th floor, the highest floor in the building. Feng Jiu ran out of the lift to search for help, but there was no one in sight.

"Where is everyone?" Feng Jiu thought to herself.

Then she continued running, but at the same time, she shouted, "Is there anyone here?!"

A cold and stern voice emerged from behind, "Who are you, and what are you doing here? Don't you know what this place is?"

Feng Jiu immediately turned around and saw a tall man standing behind her.

"We are in danger now! I have no time to explain, but we need to get out of here immediately! Do you know the way out?" Feng Jiu panicked.

*Fire Alarm Rings*

"Attention, everyone! There is a fire happening at the back entrance of the building. Please do not panic and evacuate the building by the front entrance immediately. I repeat, there is a fire happening in the building. please evacuate the building by the front entrance immediately."

"Follow me quickly! It's too late to exit by the lift now, and it's too high up for us to use the stairs. We will escape through the rooftop. There is a helicopter parked there." The man replied.

Then he grabbed Feng Jiu's arm and ran towards the rooftop's exit.

"Do you even know how to fly this?!" Feng Jiu asked nervously with a huge frown on her face.

"Of course, I do, who do you think I am? Do you not trust me?" He replied with a disapproving look.

"I don't know who you are, but this is not a good time to discuss that. Let's not waste more time and escape now!" Feng Jiu replied anxiously.

"How dare she doubt me? Who does she think she is?" Dong Hua silently thought to himself, while trying to hide the fact that his ego was bruised.

----------------------------------------

Dong Hua landed the helicopter safely on the huge parking lot beside the building. Everyone was gathered nearby, waiting for more updates from the Police and Fire Department.

The fire was contained in 15 minutes, and it was fortunate that there were no casualties because the authorities were alerted quickly before the fire escalated.

The two culprits responsible for the fire were also caught.

Feng Jiu was glad that everyone was safe.

"Who are you? And what happened?" The man asked Feng Jiu again.

"I'm Feng Jiu, and I was here today for an interview for the internship position. I accidentally bumped into these two guys trying to set fire to the building, and I immediately called the police. And who are you?" Feng Jiu replied.

Before the man could answer her, someone came running over, shouting "Mr. President, are you ok?! Everyone is so worried about you!".

"The president of Tai Chen Group?! No wonder he looked familiar, I can't believe I met him!" Feng Jiu was shocked and couldn't utter a word.

By the time Feng Jiu came to her senses, Dong Hua was already long gone.

Cha Cha then ran over, crying.

"Feng Jiu, I am so glad that you're safe. Please don't let me worry about you like this, ever again! Were you injured at all?"

Feng Jiu gave Cha Cha a tight hug and said, "I'm so sorry, Cha Cha! Don't worry, I'm fine, and I'm so glad that you're safe too! You did a good job informing them about the fire."

----------------------------------------

*Announcement plays over the speaker*

"To everyone that was here for the internship interview today, I regret to inform you that the interview today is canceled. We will be scheduling a new interview in the next couple of days, and we will keep all of you informed. We apologize for any inconvenience caused."

"Since the interview had been canceled, let's go have a good lunch to make up for this bad day!" Cha Cha said, along with a big smile on her face. She knew Feng Jiu was a glutton, and the thought of food would make her happy. But Feng Jiu wasn't paying much attention to what Cha Cha.

"What's wrong, Feng Jiu? You were in a daze since we left the building, is there something troubling you?" Cha Cha curiously asked.

"I met Dong Hua, the President of Tai Chen Group, and he was the one who saved my life. I am just thinking of ways to repay his kindness. Cha Cha, I need to get into this company no matter what!"

Feng Jiu was even more determined to get into Tai Chen Group now.
