Battered Young Miss 92 Tribute 29

Employees of Zhang Corporation were given a two-day off in accordance to mourning the sudden passing away of the former heiress, Zhang Mi who died tragically during surgery at HuaQu Hospital this was announced by the human resource department who sent out a broadcast email to every employees email box and also text messages to their phones. This was a message passed from the PR support team to the human resource support team under the directives of President Zhang, current President of Zhang Corporation shortly after he spoke to Mr Mao, the PR specialist of Zhang Corporation.

None of the employees at Zhang Corporation expected to hear that their former President Zhang Mi died during a short stay at the hospital, the message was received with a mix of anger, joy and confusion as many of them did not know what to think of the death of the Zhang heiress. The company was placed on a temporary shutdown to mourn the loss of the long-standing former president who was disgracefully chased out of the company only to be cleared of all charges, but could not make a come back as President of Zhang Corporation due to unforeseeable circumstances. Many held vigil for the former Heiress of Zhang Corporation at their homes, crying and holding candles as they sent prayers to the family of Zhang Mi for Comfort during such a sad moment of their life.

At Zhang villa the heiress laid in an open casket with an artful wreath tucked by one side of the hair, which was cut out from the bouquet of white lilly by the creative Director Ko. The casket a state of the art type, came with glittering wheels that rolled out with the touch of a button from underneath, a lock mechanism of solid metal by each side of the four wheels. This wheels were what held the coffin firmly on the marble floor, when Director Ko finished the crafting of the wreath he made for Zhang Mi, he stepped back to look at the fine piece of art, silently praising himself.

"What do you all think, doesn't she look terrific!"

"..."

The look of complete shock come over the faces of the butler and maids, they thought the man had a few screws loose in his head, their young mistress was dead and here he was making frivolous comments about her, the kept staring at a loss for what to say to such an outrageous attitude.

While Director Ko looked as though he saw nothing wrong with what he said, looking so pleased with the work of his hands.

"I need you three to help me transport her to the living room, where visitors will be coming to pay their visit to Miss Zhang."

"Okay!"

This spurred them into action, all six rather than the three that was requested by the Directlr Ko, as they rushed to push the wheeled casket of their "late" mistress out of the spare room towards, only to stop in between to open and close the door of the room.

Yang Lin was on his phone placing calls to have a flower delivery company privately deliver stands of funeral flowers to Zhang villa. Pacing up and down in the living room, the thinly concealed agitation that he felt within was quickly brought under control when he saw who was coming into where he was, putting on the mask of indifference to make way for the casket to be brought into a good spot where sympathizers could clearly catch a glimpse of the Zhang heiress from where she laid in "eternal" sleep.

"Move it here! No!!! That way! Turn it a little to the right! that's it, now a little to the left! That's too far back! Don't you get what a little means?!"

The scene was some what exasperating to look at, the detail driven man was already pushing the worn out staff of the "late" heiress to their limit, with his pettiness.

"Ahem!"

Even Yang Lin that didn't want to jump in defense of them, his brows raised in disapproval, that made the other man look in his direction which was a bit far from where they were, sending Yang Lin an apologetic look back.

After several prodding from the nitpicky Funeral Director, the small group let out a sigh of relief when he told them that the position of
the coffin was now to his liking.

"Please, I know you are all tired, but I need you to do one or two things more before retiring for the night."

"Mr Yang, there is nothing you ask that we would not to, just say it and we will get it done."

This came from the head butler, as the rest nodded in silent agreement.

"I'm expecting stands of flowers in less than an hour and I also want everywhere cleaned up, it is a lot to do at such a short time, but in a few hours people would be arriving at Zhang villa and the grounds have to look spotless, you don't want it to be that our Young Miss lived her life in vain by not having her home well tended to."

"We will start the clean up right away and distribute the work among ourselves."

"Thanks."

The oldest of the women replied back to what Yang Lin had asked of them. Director Ko was looking around where he was, as the six left to do the assignment.

------
Outside the Zhang villa was a mix of squad cars, reporters and sympathizers trooping in to pay their condolences. A female reporter with a dark mic discretely placed on the lapels of her red long sleeved gown that ended below her knee, looking straight to speak directly at the camera.

"This is Lei Vikky reporting to you outside the residence of the late heiress of the much talked about Zhang Corporation, a young woman who single handedly led a company for many years, only to die tragically with no one to survive her. Let's tune in to hear from one of the sympathizers at the home of the late heiress."
