Chapter 373 The Scary Scene (1/2)
Yi Yunrui looks at Zhou Mengyao’s sincere eyes. He slightly frowns. He thinks for quite a while before he responds, “It is up to Ning. Aunt Zhou, don’t worry.”
So, Yi Yunrui is not against it. Zhou Mengyao gives a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Rui.” Zhou Mengyao takes up the coffee for a sip. She lowers her eyes to hide the excitement in it.
She wants to take Ning as her nominal daughter because of her own health problem and also because of Junhao Group. Actually, there is a third reason, which she doesn’t want to tell and is not allowed to tell.
However, as a smart man, may Yi Yunrui notice her plan?
If he has realized her plan, as the youngest son of the Yi family, will he agree?
Thinking about this, Zhou Mengyao stealthily glances at Yi Yunrui and finds him looking at her. She feels a little panic and draws back her eyes at once.
Maybe…he has noticed it.
It is in the Chief Editor Office.
“Chief Editor, what do you tell me to come here for?” Xia Ning politely greets and sits down in front of Leng Weiwei.
Leng Weiwei looks at Xia Ning for a while, and then she says, “You look great. It seems that you have recovered. Are you OK to work?”
“No problem. Chief Editor, please don’t worry.”
“Good.” Leng Weiwei passes a file to Xia Ning, “These are new candidates. You are in charge of interviews and evaluations. In a month, Ruoruo is going to her new position, and you need to find an assistant.”
Xia Ning opens the file and looks at the resumes of the new recruits. All of them are very excellent in all aspects. Xia Ning remembers Su Xueli. She has some questions. She thinks for a while and puts down the material.
“Chief Editor, I have a question, and I want to figure it out. I wonder if it is convenient for you to tell me.”
“Is it about Su Xueli?”
“Yes.”
Leng Weiwei thinks for a while. She slowly says, “She is recommended by the headquarters. Based on some internal information, it is because that Su Xueli’s father used to help a senior officer in the headquarters. That officer asked Su Xueli to come to work in World Era Weekly. I think that her educational background must be fake.
That’s it. No wonder she found Su Xueli behaved not like a well-educated elite.
“Oh. I see.” As if she remembers something, Xia Ning asks, “Su Xueli doesn’t work here now. Are there any comments from the headquarters?”
“Su Xueli asked to quit herself. So, the headquarters didn’t comment.” Leng Weiwei pauses here for a while and continues, “Ning, as to Su Xueli, I want to say sorry to you. I promise that it won’t happen again. I hope you can forgive me.”
Xia Ning smiles, “I understand that it was tough for you. I have known you for a long time. Let’s just forget it and move on. Anyway, this time, I really need to carefully choose my assistant.”
“Hum. Sure.”
When they are talking, Xia Ning’s phone rings. She turns to Leng Weiwei and says, “Excuse me.” Then she takes up her phone and sees that it is Gu Ruoruo.
It is surprising. Gu Ruoruo knows that Xia Ning is in the Chief Editor Office. Why does she look for her so urgently?
Leng Weiwei notices Xia Ning’s confusion. She says, “There are not any other special things. You may go back to your office if you are busy.”
“OK,” Xia Ning responds and turns to leave.
She closes the door of the Chief Editor Office and presses the answer button, “Ruoruo, what’s wrong…”
“Sister Xia, I have to ask for leave! The hospital called, saying that my brother’s ward was surrounded by a group of army men. I need to go there to see what happens.”
Gu Ruoruo sounds very anxious. Xia Ning responds at once, “OK. You may go now. Wait. It is abnormal. You may call my elder brother.”
It is inconvenient for Yi Yunrui to deal with it with his current position. Or, she might have asked Yi Yunrui to go there.
“OK. Sister Xia, I may leave now.” Xia Ning hasn’t responded when Gu Ruoruo has hung up the phone.
It is in the C Military Region Hospital.
There are a lot of army men standing in the large ward. It looks tense.
Gu Luan glances around and stops his eyes at one of the commanders, who still has some bandages on his body. “Commander, I don’t know what I have done to bother you to come here.”
Fang Youqi checks over Gu Luan dismissively. He hates genteel wordings most.
“You are Gu Luan, the director of that weekly, aren’t you?”
“Yes, I am Gu Luan, the director of World Era Weekly.” Gu Luan has met a lot of people. He is aware that this army man doesn’t come with good intentions. He asks, “Commander, how can I address you?”
Fang Youqi glances at Adjutant He, who is standing beside him. Adjutant He understands and responds, “This is Deputy-commander Fang of C City.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Oh. Deputy-commander Fang. Nice to meet you.”
He heard that a new commander came to C City. Seemingly, that is him.
“Mr. Gu, our commander comes to you this time. He hopes that you cooperate with the army to create a harmonious society.”
Adjutant He thinks that he should also speak in a literary way before a man of letters.
