Chapter 118 Newcomers
Yi Yunrui looks quietly at Xia Ning with a smile. After a while he replies, “Don’t worry about that. My eldest brother will deal with it.”
“Oh…” He is right. To many people, Yi Yuntian is a mysterious man of legend. She has been married with Yi Yunrui for over a year, while she has never met Yi Yuntian.
“The eldest brother is back now. Will he leave at once?”
“I don’t know. My brother has always been unpredictable.” Yi Yunrui is going to tell more, while Xia Ning’s phone rings.
Xia Ning glances at the screen and can’t help taking a breath. It is Gu Luan calling.
She is on a leave. Does Gu Luan have anything important?
She clears her voice and presses the answer button: “Hello, Director Gu…”
“Xia Ning, I heard that your eldest brother, Yi Yuntian is back in C City. Is that true?”
Xia Ning is surprised to hear this.
God. She also has just got the information. How can Gu Luan know it so soon?
“Hum.” Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows, “Director Gu is well-informed.”
“Haha!” Gu Luan laughs happily, “Ning, can you do me a favor?”
Xia Ning is shocked to hear that Gu Luan is asking for a “favor”.
.
Director Gu asks her for a favor!
Does she mishear?
“Director Gu, you are flattering me. What is it?” Since Director Gu says it in this way, it must be something difficult. She has to keep some space for herself.
“Well…” Gu Luan taps his fingers, “Ning, since your brother Yi Yuntian is here, can you catch the time to have an exclusive interview with him?”
Xia Ning is shocked to hear this.
To have an exclusive interview with Yi Yuntian?
God! She herself has never met Yi Yuntian yet! How can she have the exclusive interview with him?
She doesn’t know what Yi Yuntian thinks about her. If she rashly asks him for the interview, it may be very embarrassing!
“Well…” Xia Ning hesitates. At the time, Yi Yunrui looks at her.
“What’s wrong?” Aware of her reluctance, Yi Yunrui asks.
“Director Gu, please wait for five minutes. I will ring you up soon.” Xia Ning takes a deep breath and hangs up the phone.
This time, she initiatively hangs up first.
She can’t give Gu Luan any chances to prevent her from hanging up…Hehe, she gotta think about the solution!
“Darling.” She calls gently and finds Yi Yunrui is surprised about that, “There is something I want to ask for your advice.”
“OK.” Yi Yunrui replies at once. Seemingly, he is quite excited about it.
“Well.” Xia Ning hesitates for a while, “Director Gu asks me to have an exclusive interview with our eldest brother. What do you think?”
Yi Yunrui hears this. He lifts his eyebrows: “Gu Luan is well-informed.”
Xia Ning nods, “I think so, too.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while, “Five years ago, a famous reporter had an exclusive interview for my brother. But for unknown reasons, my brother left at once unhappily. From then on, he seldom accepts any exclusive interviews.” Yi Yunrui looks at Xia Ning, “I can try to ask my brother about it. But whether he will accept or not, it depends on you.”
Xia Ning curls her lips. It seems that something happened five years ago. If she wants to have the interview, she may offend the eldest brother.
If she is going to meet Yi Yuntian later, it will be the first time for them to meet. It is not good to cause any embarrassment now.
It will be really bad.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning shakes her head: “No. I’d better refuse Director Gu. When there is a suitable time, I will ask for an exclusive interview. I don’t want to offend the eldest brother.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while: “Since my brother is back, why don’t we go to meet him?”
Xia Ning is shocked: “When?”
“Now.”
Now?
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is still early. Actually, it is quite suitable to meet him now. But…
Anyway, they are going to meet sooner or later. As Yi Yuntian may have other things to do, why not meet now.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning calls Gu Luan.
“Director Gu, something happened to my brother in the past. And we need to hold on the exclusive interview for now. We will wait for a more suitable time. What do you think?”
Xia Ning feels deeply disturbed to say so. In front of Gu Luan, she has to speak straightly. Hinting is not expected.
“OK. Then we will wait for another time. Sorry. I asked it too suddenly.”
Not expecting that Director Gu will apologize to her, Xia Ning is shocked with surprise.
“Hum. Never mind. I will try to find another chance. Director Gu, do you have any other things?”
Gu Luan smiles mildly: “No. You may enjoy your time with Commander Yi. But please come back to office earlier tomorrow morning. I need your help in something.”
Gu Luan finishes his words and hangs up.
Xia Ning stares at the screen blankly, thinking of the last sentence Gu Luan said… Ugh, she asked for a leave today. Does Gu Luan know what happened between Yi Yunrui and her?
Well. She may not care about whether Gu Luan knows what’s going on between Yi Yunrui and her. What she cares is what Gu Luan is going to ask her to do tomorrow.
Gu Luan sounded obviously different.
The wording is also different.
At the time, Yi Yunrui’s phone rings. It is Feng Le.
“Commander, Commissar Mei has just left by the special plane for Beijing!”
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui responds, “What about my brother?”
“Mr. Yi Yuntian has also left by the special aircraft. He didn’t leave any messages. That is all.”
“OK.” Yi Yunrui hangs up. Then at once he receives a message in his phone. Yi Yunrui looks at it and laughs.
“What’s up?” Xia Ning is curious.
Yi Yunrui shows the message to Xia Ning. Xia Ning smiles: “The eldest brother goes back to Brazil so hurriedly. It seems that the princess of Brazil is really charming.”
“Maybe.” Yi Yunrui says meaningfully, “So far, I haven’t seen any woman who can really keep my brother staying. I thought that Mei Ruo could. But it seems that I was wrong.”
“Ah? Doesn’t Mei Ruo have been with Yi Yuntian for many years? If they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, what is the relation between them?”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while: “They get what they want.”
They get what they want…Ah. She can’t understand what this means on these two persons.
And she doesn’t want to understand.
Seeing Xia Ning is silent, Yi Yunrui leans to her: “Sweetheart, should we…go back to do what we were doing?”
Xia Ning blushes on hearing what he says. She turns her face away: “What is that. I forget.”
“Haha!” Yi Yunrui laughs. He presses the accelerator: “No problem. I will make you remember slowly.”
The next morning, Xia Ning slaps herself to get awake.
God. She told Yi Yunrui that she would need to go to work earlier in the morning, but Commander Yi was so powerful…
She would have been dead.
She remembers that she did faint.
When she was awake, she found that Yi Yunrui was holding her tightly. It was so tight that she could hardly breathe. Yi Yunrui was lying by her, as hot as a flame, as if he could have fried an egg.
It seemed that after she fainted, while Commander Yi hadn’t got rid of his desire.
She didn’t dare to move. Instead, she stayed quietly in his embrace. Listening to his heavy gasp, she felt itchy.
But she really couldn’t.
She knew that he was uncomfortable. But considering her future with Commander Yi, she had to let him bear it.
Xia Ning puts her fingers into her hair and gives some scratches. She shakes her head, trying to sober herself. When she is able to open her eyes, she sees that there is a note by the bed.
“Sweetheart, you need some exercises.”
Xia Ning twitches her eyebrows and then smiles.
Commander Yi finally feels unsatisfied. It seems that he suffered a lot last night.
Xia Ning checks the date. The military exercise is several days away. Seemingly, Yi Yunrui is going to leave for the Northwest these days.
It is not surprising that he is so hungry for her.
The clock alarms. Xia Ning feels energetic at once. She lifts the quilt and rushes into the bathroom!
When she gets to the company, she is asked by Gu Luan to go to his office at once.
Gu Luan smiles meaningfully and is reluctant to speak. Xia Ning feels a little embarrassed.
Gu Luan looks at her in a… strange way… which Xia Ning can’t figure out.
“Ahem!” Gu Luan clears his voice, “Director Xia, considering that your assistant will be transferred, the company will arrange two newcomers for you. One will have an one-month probation under you. The other is your assistant. Do you have any comments on the arrangement?”
“No!” Xia Ning responds quickly.
Gu Luan nods: “One of them will arrive soon. This is her file. You can have a careful look.”
Xia Ning takes over the file and opens it. She is shocked blankly!
Wan Liqing, twenty-eight, graduated from the Finance Department of Harvard University…the ex-Director of News Department!
This Wan Liqing…is the women who quarreled with Gu Luan yesterday!
Xia Ning feels her brain in a mess.
Well. She was the ex-Director of the News Department. She is now going to have a probation under Xia Ning. Isn’t that wasting her talent?
“Director, this is…”
Gu Luan waves his hand and interrupts: “I know what you are concerned about. This is the company regulation. Those who quitted or resigned come back to the company again are all new comers. They have to pass the probation before being employed for the second time. Ning, you also have experienced that. Don’t you?”
Xia Ning feels a little embarrassed, “Miss Wan is better than me in all aspects. I can’t compare with her.” Wan Liqing was a war correspondent. With this point only, she is much more senior than Xia Ning.
“Ning, don’t burden yourself with any mental pressure.” Gu Luan comforts her, “The company always use the right person. In my opinion, both of you are equally important.”
Xia Ning feels warm. She smiles: “Director Gu, may I ask a question about Miss Wan?”
Gu Luan hesitates, “Yes.”
“I want to know why Miss Wan left World Era TV Station five years ago?”
Hearing this, Gu Luan’s eyes darken slightly but at once return to normal: “Five years ago, Liqing went abroad to get married. Therefore, she quitted.”
