1. Reincarnation

"Di Jun... Please don't close your eyes! Wake up, please!"


*BEEP BEEP BEEP*


Fengjiu was startled by her alarm, and she grabbed her phone to turn the alarm off.


Feng Jiu woke up with tears in her eyes, and she thought to herself, "Why do I keep dreaming of this man with long silver hair and purple robes? Who is he?"


Then she slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes.


"What time is it now? It's already 8.00 AM?! I'm almost late!"


It was 9 March 2020, an important day for Feng Jiu as she will be attending an interview at Tai Chen Group, China's biggest Multinational Corporation.


It was Feng Jiu's life-long dream to get into Tai Chen Group. She applied for an internship position there, so that she would be able to secure a job after she graduates from Qing University. This was her final year at University.


She wanted to join Tai Chen Group because she once read about the president of Tai Chen Group in a popular magazine, and she was inspired by him.


Dong Hua, the president of Tai Chen Group, single-handedly built his company up from scratch. But within five years, the company became China's biggest Multinational Corporation.


Then Feng Jiu quickly jumped out of bed and started preparing for work. She double-checked her important documents for the interview and made sure that she didn't miss out on anything before rushing out of the house. She definitely did not want to be late for the interview.


Feeling extremely nervous because she wanted this job so badly, Feng Jiu practiced her interview questions countless times over the past two weeks. She didn't want to ruin any of her chances to get into Tai Chen Group.


Feng Jiu's best friend, Cha Cha, was also attending the same interview. They met up at the bus stop so that they could head to Tai Chen Group together. At the same time, they could practice their interview questions together, while they make their way there.


"I hope we both get into Tai Chen Group!" Feng Jiu excitedly exclaimed.


"Even if I don't get in, I'll be happy if you did, Feng Jiu! Let's just hope for the best!" Cha Cha smiled and replied cheerfully.


"Do you think we will ever get a chance to meet the President of Tai Chen Group? I heard that he is very handsome." Cha Cha asked curiously.


"Well, I think it's unlikely. He must be really busy with work." Feng Jiu replied.


Then they continued to practice their interview questions.


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


Feng Jiu and Cha Cha arrived at Tai Chen Group early, but there were already hundreds of candidates waiting to be interviewed.


"There are so many people here, but I'm not losing hope! I got this!" Feng Jiu confidently thought to herself.


"Are you ok, Cha Cha?" Fengjiu asked Cha Cha upon seeing her sulky face.


Cha Cha sighed deeply and replied, "I guess so. I'm just feeling a little worried. There are so many people here, do you think we will get in?"


"Don't worry! We will be fine. Have more confidence in yourself, Cha Cha. I know you'll do well in the interview." Fengjiu patted Cha Cha's head while reassuring her.


Out of a sudden, there was a big crowd gathered at the entrance of the building.


"What is going on there?!" Cha Cha exclaimed excitedly.


At this point, Feng Jiu couldn't care less about what's going on as she was feeling very nervous about the interview.


"Go ahead and take a look if you're curious, Cha Cha. I'm too nervous right now, so I'll go to the nearby restroom to freshen up myself. I'll join you later, and keep me updated on what's going on there!" Feng Jiu said.


Then she stood up and headed off to look for a restroom nearby. Cha Cha immediately ran towards the crowd to check it out, as she was always the curious type.


"This building is huge. I can't even find the restroom, and there isn't anyone around to ask. Where is everyone?" Feng Jiu was getting frustrated.


Then she continued walking around the building, trying to find the restroom.


When she got to the back entrance of the building, she smelled something funny. It smelled like gasoline. Then she decided to follow the scent, to try to find out what was going on. Suddenly she noticed two men acting suspiciously.


Upon further investigation, she discovered the two men trying to set fire to the building, and the floor was already covered with gasoline.


Feng Jiu's mind froze with fear, but she knew that she needed to find help immediately. Then she quietly turned around and tried to escape, but her legs were soft as she was too scared.


Before she could even escape, one of the guys turned back and noticed Feng Jiu standing there.


"Get her! She had seen everything. We can't let her get away!" the man shouted to his accomplice while pointing towards Feng Jiu's direction.


It took every strength in her to turn around, and she ran for her life.


"What should I do now?"
