Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 30: Mother's Pride



[POV Bai Chang]

Last night we came home and straight away called it a night.

Today morning Qiang left for office from here itself.

I discussed with him and kept Xiao Wei here with me for the week.

***

I and Xiao Wei were in the studio to check out our haul from yesterday's shopping.

"Mamma, are you gonna become a full-time designer then?"

"Hmm.. Well, I will keep the designer as the main occupation while the rest of the matters would be handled under the radar."

"Mamma, What are we gonna do today?"

"Today Mamma will design a full-length evening gown to wear in the fashion show."

"Wow.. So it is going to be a customised piece!"

"Yes, are you excited to see?"

"Yes"

The boy just looked around the studio with bright eyes.

"Okay Munchkin, help Mamma to organise our shopping first."

"Yes Mamma"

It took us two hours to organise all the stuff that we bought yesterday according to their categories.

"Finally we are done." I lightly patted my shoulders.

"Mamma, are we making the dress today?"

"Yes Munchkin, I already have the designs made and I shopped for the materials required for the dress so first, we will make a sample."

I fetched the design from an inner drawer in my working table. Next, both of us get to work on the sample dress.

It is surprising to see that Xiao Wei is quick on his feet and sharp with his brain, he picks up skills faster than most of the children in his age group. Sometimes I forget that he is only four years old.

I feel proud of Bai Chang. She has a fine son here. She should be very proud of him.

For the rest of the day we work on the dress material and I teach Xiao Wei some simple stitches and let him play around with whatever materials he wants.

We even had our lunch in the studio itself. Then I asked Xiao Wei "if he is bored?"

He simply replied with a smile and showed me a beautiful flower stitch that he made. It took him all day to get it right but it is so cute and beautiful.

He does learn fast.

"Munchkin, would you like to help me with my design?"

"Yes Mamma"

I am so happy.

"Munchkin, later Mamma will teach you super coding and medical science. For the next of the week follow me around, you will learn more than what you do in school."

"Yes Mamma"

He hugged me tight and kissed me on my cheeks. His eyes are so bright with expectations and happiness.

I feel overwhelmed with emotions.

Nowadays I find myself unwilling to part from this little Munchkin.

***

We had dinner and I put Xiao Wei to bed. He is a growing child. As much as he needs to learn new stuff to keep his brains sharp he also needs good sleep for his body to develop.

After spending my time with him I know he is a good-natured child but loves books and computers more than outdoor games. So finding him interested in designing is a plus point. He will have some extracurricular activities outside of the virtual world.

These movements will help his overall body's growth spurt.

I thought to propose a set of exercises that we can do together which would help him to gain more stability and increase his hand-eye coordination. It will also help him to build his muscles.

'Hmm.. I think the five animal exercise set would be perfect.'

As I am lost in my thoughts, I hear a knock outside the study room.

"Come in"

Zhang Wei entered; from his overall look, it seems we will have a long discussion tonight.

"Have a seat."

"Thank You"

After taking a seat opposite me, he asked me "Are you sure about this next move?"

"Zhang Wei, we are aware that 'Feling' is not leaving us alone, even as we speak he is collecting materials on me."

"How are you so sure Bai Chang?"

I looked through 'Jiffy's' system records and play him a short recording.

"This is, Felings' office in the Pacific Ocean, how did you manage to track him there?"

"Nothing is truly out of my reach if I have digital access to it."

"So what is he waiting for?"

"He is not sure of his target, that is, me. He wants to have a face to face meet with me and then re-evaluate his steps to get to me. He is not sure if I am truly amnesic or not. Under such circumstances, he is unable to exploit my loopholes."

"The team is ready. They would be at your command."

"Good, if I not wrong then 'Feling' is on his way to the mainland to greet me."

"Should we add more precautions from our side?"

"No need, after all, we still need to bait him."

"Are you aware of the reason, why they are after you?"

"I have a lead but nothing is clear as of now. Thus we need to bait 'Feling' to lead us to the next clue."

"Bai Chang, last time you asked me to look into a custom manufacturing unit with great confidentiality. Why not consider Hu Corporations, manufacturing unit?"

"I want to but right now they are surrounded by a lot of flies. We first need to do some pest control on them and make them scoot before I venture there."

"Have you talked with Mr Hu about this matter?"

"We have. We also have our own plans. It all comes down to this next event."

"The fashion show?"

"Yes, it would be my point of entry in Hu Corporation as well as most probably 'Feling' and my greeting event as well as my initiation in the corporate society."

"Are you planning to use Hu Corporation as you spearhead to enter the corporate society?"

"Kind of…"

"The plan is risky." He warned me.

"Don't worry, I will watch out for myself."

"About those medical devices that we placed orders for, where do you want to receive them?"

"Here in this Villa. We will put them together in the basement under the studio."

He looked at me questioningly as he could not rationalise my choices or the decisions. While I cannot tell him everything.

It is my backup plan in case of an emergency. I don't want to see the people surrounding me getting hurt.

As well as these things will become the legacy that I would leave for Xiao Wei.
