Chapter 44: The Next Plan (1/2)
“What do you mean?” Yi Yunrui looks at him.
Li Dezheng thinks for quite a while. He hesitates and hesitates and at last falteringly says, “Well, as regard to the bribery, I heard that someone up there is investigating… that person is said to have some relation with you.”
“Does he?” Yi Yunrui smiles coldly, “The duty of Military and that of the government are different and not involved in each other. Am I able to guide the government officials? I wonder from where President Li heard the information.
Li Dezheng feels more embarrassed. He thinks for another while and says, “Sir, I will say directly. The person who is investigating me is, as it is said, is your second elder brother…”
“Li Dezheng!” Yi Yunrui’s face is darkened, “Anti-corruption is a basic duty of the country. Who told you that it is my second elder brother? Why? Are you considering taking revenge?”
Ou Yixuan glances at Li Dezheng. One may be stupid, but no one will be as stupid as him!
What does he think of to speak out the name? Threatening or what?
Li Dezheng is shocked and his voice falters, “I… I am, ah, Sir, I have a stupid mouth!” Saying this, he lifts his hand and slaps his mouth.
He is a crude man. He always uses fists to speak and never takes any responsibilities. Today, facing Yi Yunrui, he is actually very nervous, totally in a mess.
When he was on the plane, he was thinking of how to torture Xia Ning. Who knows, within half an hour he was informed that he was in trouble because someone up there was investigating his background. He checked and found he had enraged someone he should not enrage.
This someone is Xia Ning, the woman he totally looks down upon.
He was shocked and stunned immediately. By further check he knew how stupid he had been in the recent days.
God. All people of the Yi Family are big shots. How could he make such a serious trouble?
He wanted to punish Xia Ning. But it seems that Xia Ning is the one who is punishing him.
Yi Yunrui says in disgust, “I am a soldier. I don’t understand politics. However, let me give you a piece of advice. Mind your speech. It is late. I have other things to do. You two may leave.”
Noticing Yi Yunrui is telling them away, they are anxious. Li Dezheng still wants to say something, but he swallows the words back when he sees Yi Yunrui’s sharp eyes.
“Then, we come again some time. Sorry for bothering.” Ou Yixuan says and walks out.
But Li Dezheng stands there, neither coming in nor going out.
“Sir, do you…”
Yi Yunrui freezes his eyes, “Get out!”
Li Dezheng is shocked and frightened by the shouting. He turns his back and walks out hurriedly.
Hearing the leaving car, Xia Ning takes a breath and gets relaxed.
To be honest, she learns things today. Who says that the commander is silent and don’t speak? She hardly opened her mouth and it was he who kept speaking.
But what the Commander said is practical. It simply stopped Ou Yixuan and Li Dezheng from speaking and scared them to leave.
“Does your heart ache?”
Xia Ning is confused by the question raised by Yi Yunrui.
“For what?”
Yi Yunrui stares at her, “Does your heart ache when you heard what I said to him?”
She suddenly understands.
For him? She doesn’t have the feeling…
Xia Ning thinks for a while and shakes her head, “Am I heartless?”
“You fool.” Yi Yunrui pats her head, “Are you tired? If so, you may go to bed to have a rest.”
“No. I slept for so long. I cannot fall asleep now.”
Yi Yunrui strokes her hairs, “I have one question. I want you to answer honestly.”
“I am listening.” What confuses the Commander Yi?
“Do you want to go back to TIME?”
Going back to TIME? She has just been fired by TIME. Even if TIME asks her to go back, she is not interested in it.
She has got no expectation there.
What she had is being bullied for more than three years.
In addition, she has enraged Xiao Tingting. If she goes back, she will end in misery.
In the past, she works there for the purpose of earning a living and her dream of becoming a director. Now living is not a problem. And since TIME cannot give her the opportunity, she would better try some other places.
“No, I don’t want to go back there.” Xia Ning shakes her head.
“Then what is your plan?”
“Plan…” Xia Ning thinks seriously and shakes her head, “I temporarily don’t have a plan. But still I want to stay in the industry.”
“Do you want to stick to your dream?”
“Hum.” Xia Ning nods hard, “I love my occupation.”
