A Billion Dollar Exchange

31 The man in the other car!

"You guys should hurry up or else, we'll be late!!" Xin Yong screamed from downstairs, they were going for the welcome party held by the industry. Richen who took her retest won against her rival. That night they threw a party in their dorm. They were so happy for her.

Xiao Ran was with them, she had finished her exams too and was soon going to join her parents in Japan after their graduation party. So for the mean time, she spent most of her free time with her friends.

Liling and Richen rushed downstairs almost immediately, Xiao Ran stood by the door and screamed after them.

"Don't come back home single, or else I'll lock you three out!" She giggled lightly waving at them.

The welcome party was being held in America. The industry had scheduled a flight for all of them. By nine o'clock, all the music students selected from the music schools in Beijing were already at the airport. That was when they noticed that only Gahll had the highest number of intakes!. Since they were about seventy in total, a rough sketch should be around three persons per school or maybe two!!

When they arrived in America, the officials from the industry led them to a double decker prepared by the industry. They were lodged into a first class hotel in Los Angeles. It was in this same hotel that the party was going to take place. They were divided into pairs for each room, some were three per room due to limited number of rooms available. Liling got to stay with Richen and Xin Yong.

Immediately they entered their hotel room, Xin Yong started chattering. She had been holding it in due to the Officials from the industry who had been with them throughout. They weren't even free to talk to themselves, though they were not told outrightly to keep quiet, but the strict faces of the officials couldn't even let them swallow saliva.

"Liling!, OMG, this place is amazing. I can't believe that we're in America!!." She screamed as she jumped on the king-sized bed, bouncing again and again.

"Xin Yong after jumping on that bed, you come down and gently arrange it" Lililng commented with a smile on her lips. She sat down on the sofa in the room and massaged her neck gently. Richen dropped the bag they came with in the closet. They had put their things into one travelling bag, since there weren't much things to carry given that they were staying for just two days. She unzipped the bag, brought out their dresses for the party, and carefully hung them.

"Liling, come jump with me uh?, we'll soon be like Celine Dion and... Britney Spears, gush! everybody would be screaming their lungs out for an autograph!!! "

Xin Yong howlered as she raised her hands up showing the act of begging for an autograph.

"Whattt!! " Both Liling and Xin Yong's mouth fell open at the realization dawned on them.

...

Dinner was served, and the trio ate hungrily, chatting about random things. Liling hadn't seen the gates of the airport before not to talk of leaving China. She was more than overjoyed, Richen's parents lived in America so she wasn't all that thrilled. After their sumptuous meal, the trio retired to bed with an evident smile on their lips.

....

Liu Wei stood in front of the floor to ceiling mirror and accessed himself. He smiled acknowledging his handsomeness, then frowned when he noticed a little stray hair on his new hairstyle, using his hand he adjusted the hair in its place, he was very busy with himself and didn't notice when Jin Yue stepped into the room. Jin Yue stood a little afar off, hands crossed watching him, he was finding it hard holding in his laughter. When he couldn't hold it in anymore, he bursted out laughing. Liu Wei turned around almost immediately, his brows creased. He wondered how long Jin Yue had been there.

"Bro, if that's how someone behaves when he is Inlove, haha, I'm prepared to remain a player for the rest of my life". He strode casually to the empty cushion in the presidential suite arranged for Liu Wei and sat down, still laughing mockingly. Liu Wei's face had reddened to a degree, he didn't expect Jin Yue to catch him so red handed. But he immediately returned to his usual frosted state, glared at Jin Yue and pointed to the door.

"Get out!! "

"Chill man, I won't be going even if you want me to, the party is already started, let's get going". Jin Yue remained on the seat and nonchalantly replied.

"Scram!, I won't be going with you, so get..." Lin Wei who was almost fuming snarled, but was immediately cut off by Jin Yue.

"Hehe, seems you don't want to see the person you took all these stress for after all, I'll be going... " He casually stood up and smiled a knowing smile when he saw the anxiety on Liu Wei's face.

"Wait!, let me get my phone, we'll be heading downstairs" Jin Yue chuckled when he heard what Liu Wei just said. He knew how much work Liu Wei had to compile to make the project run faster than normal. It was really hard work on the part of the staff but no-one dared complain since their boss was not. Only Jin Yue knew the reason.

He had before hand instructed the hotel attendants to make sure Liling sits in a corner which was very much close to where they would sit. He was in his suite when he received a call from one of the attendants informing him that Liling and her friends where already seated. He immediately rushed up to call Liu Wei.

Liu Wei took his phone from the coffee table and led the way, Jin Yue followed behind. When they came out of the suite, his assistant and a female attendant were waiting outside, they both followed them to the elevator.

.....

"Wow, this place is really breath taking, these white guys are really handsome, too bad I love my country men, else I would have wooed one of them" Xin Yong rattled, she commented on almost everything that she set her eyes on. Liling and Richen just sat there looking around and sipping their drinks quietly.

"OMG, who is that... that man coming downstairs, holy crap!, you guys need to see this Adonis before he disappears cause I can't believe he's real!" Xin Yong who had just noticed Jin Yue immediately exclaimed, she nudged Liling who was directly by her side, but before she could continue rattling her gaze fell on Liu Wei.

"Wait!!, why! why!, how could nature be this heartless!. How can a man be prettier than most women. Just take a look at the guy by his side. Holy Mary, this place is becoming too stuffy. Ah!, it's not fair, I can't even stand side by side with someone as pretty as that, I'll just disappear into the background"

Liling who had been admiring the ancient artifacts on the walls of the large dinner hall immediately traced Xin Yong's gaze. Her eyes widened, mouth fell open.
