Chapter 1140 - Stared at the Photo For a Very Long Time (2/2)

Staring at Yi Ran, who was young, yet was willing to fight for her career, President Bo patted Xiao Yi’s shoulder. “Brother Xiao, I think your a.s.sistant is really capable! You should give her a raise and a promotion!”

Xiao Yi laughed. “Xiao Yi is indeed very capable. If we can clinch the project to work with President Bo this time, I will naturally reward her.”

Yi Ran was very sharp as she hurriedly took out the prepared contract from her bag.

President Bo laughed out loud. “I’ve seen President Xiao’s sincerity in the last two days. Alright, if a.s.sistant Yi can drink these three shots of strong liquor in one go, I’ll sign the contract immediately.”

“President Bo, let’s not trouble a girl with us men doing business. I’ll take the three shots.”

Xiao Yi was about to take the shots when a slender hand reached over and took the gla.s.s before he could.

Yi Ran glanced at President Bo, smiling brightly. “President Bo, you have to keep your word.” With that said, she downed all of the alcohol in one go.

President Bo clapped his hands. “a.s.sistant Yi is indeed a capable woman! Alright, I am a man of my word. I’ll sign the contract.”

After President Bo signed the contract, Yi Ran felt a little dizzy, her body shaking as Xiao Yi hurriedly supported her. “Are you alright?”

Yi Ran looked up and smiled brightly at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi stared at Yi Ran’s bright smile under the light. It was like he was looking at Xia Yanran when she was in her early twenties again.

“President Xiao, I don’t feel very good, can you help me to sit down?”

Yi Ran felt extremely dizzy, her body falling towards Xiao Yi uncontrollably as she glanced at the service staff in the room.

The service staff caught Yi Ran’s gaze and hurriedly took a photo.

The angle the photo was taken was really good. It looked like Xiao Yi was hugging Yi Ran. However, Xiao Yi didn’t miss the two’s secret exchange.

After Yi Ran sat down, she sent the photo to Tang Chao while Xiao Yi was in the washroom. After instructing Tang Chao on what to do, she smirked.

…

Xia Yanran worked until ten at night.

Being busy helped her to forget some of her troubles.

That was why she was glad that she didn’t give up on her career for love. When she lost her love, at least she still had a career she could s.h.i.+ne in.

It might have been because she was caught in the rain, but her nose felt a little stuffy now.

After tidying her things, Xia Yanran got ready to leave work. Since she hadn’t driven, she took the public bus home.

Now that many people owned cars, there was barely anyone who took the public bus so late at night. Xia Yanran sat at the last row, staring out of the window as she zoned out.

Suddenly, her phone rang with the notification of a new message. Xia Yanran took out her phone. When she saw that the message was from Tang Chao, she opened the message.

Xia Yanran stared at the photo for a very long time.

A scoff appeared on her lips. Did Tang Chao forget what she worked as? She worked in a magazine agency and used to be a secret reporter as well. Naturally she knew everything there was to know about making use of angles in photography.

The photo looked like Xiao Yi was hugging Yi Ran, but his hands weren’t on her waist. Looking at the photo closer, their bodies weren’t pressed together. However, in the photo, it was clear that Yi Ran and Xiao Yi had drank quite a bit.

Yi Ran’s side profile really did look like her when she was younger.

Xia Yanran didn’t expect for Tang Chao to hate her so much to actually send such a photo to her. Apart from her offending Yi Ran during the morning she went to find Xiao Yi, she really could think of another time she had done anything to make Tang Chao dislike her so much.

It was clear that Tang Chao was rooting for Xiao Yi and Yi Ran to be together.

Of course, she had no relation to Xiao Yi now. Tang Chao could stand for whoever he wanted, so why did he have to send this photo to her? Was he trying to help Yi Ran?
