Chapter 77 All of a Sudden
“Mr. Commander, it costs twenty yuan from here to downtown. Is it OK for you?” Xia Ning teases him.
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows, “Don’t make nonsense. Concentrate on driving.”
Xia Ning curls her lips, “Seemingly the Commander is going to take an overlord ride.”
Yi Yunrui is going to speak, when Xia Ning has started the car. She presses the accelerator. The car roars away.
“Mr. Commander, I am going to pick up Baoer. Is it OK?”
“OK.” Yi Yunrui replies simply.
Then with the protection of the big monster Knight XV, F3 goes to Li Baoer’s.
Li Baoer is already waiting downstairs. F3 comes, followed by Knight XV. The comparison between the two cars makes a funny scene. When they arrive, Li Baoer still can’t stop laughing.
“Well, Ning, what’s up? Are you shooting the movie Cars? Is it called Century Love between Knight XV and F3?”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Miss Li, get on the car!”
Li Baoer was punning. She is F3, while Yi Yunrui is the monster Knight XV...
Li Baoer sits at the back seat. She greets Yi Yunrui in a loud voice, “Good morning, Mr. Commander!”
Yi Yunrui looks at her. He is relaxed, “Good morning, Pretty.”
Yi Yunrui has just finished his words, and coughs are heard from the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car gets to the building of World Era TV Station. It is a tall building with dozens of floors, which is astonishingly imposing. It is a busy time and luxury cars are seen continuously go in. People going in and out there are dressed fashionably.
By comparison, Xia Ning’s F3 is very cheap.
When they are about one hundred meters away, the cars stop. Yi Yunrui tells her some words and gets off to take Knight XV which is following behind.
Knight XV leaves slowly. Xia Ning looks forward and takes a deep breath.
World Era TV Station stands for the latest fashion in the world. Today, she will become a part of it. It is a challenge and a new start as well.
“Miss Baoer, are you ready?” Vigorously, Xia Ning asks in a loud voice.
“Yes. Weapons are ready. We may fight.” Li Baoer valiantly responds.
The car enters the company and attracts a lot of eyes. Surprise, confusion, despising...Xia Ning notices all kinds of expressions. She scratches her head and smiles funnily.
She knew what it would be, but she knows better that what attracts Gu Luan’s attention is her capability, not what she looks like.
She parks the car. When they come out, Gu Luan has been waiting in front of the building for them.
Gu Luan is in a white suit and wears a pair of golden-frame glasses, quiet and intelligent. He is looking at them with a smile.
There are staff saying hello to Gu Luan and he nods lightly.
Who can imagine that the great Director of the famous weekly World Era TV Station will be so nice and easy-going?
“Good Morning, Director Gu.” Xia Ning and Li Baoer greet him. Xia Ning introduces to Gu Luan, “Director Gu, this is my friend, Li Baoer.”
Gu Luan smiles and nods. He holds out his hand to Xia Ning and Li Baoer, “Miss Xia and Miss Li, welcome to become a member of World Era TV Station.
Hearing this, they are excited. They shake hands with Gu Luan.
“Today is your first day here. Don’t feel too much pressure. Come with me. I will show you the structure and departments of the company.” Saying this, Gu Luan turns to walk in.
The inner of the building is designed as fashionable as its outer. There are many people in the building. They are busy, but in order. A glimpse at them will tell their working attitudes, which are vigorous, active and upward.
As the director, Gu Luan introduces and explains in detail the functions and responsibilities of each department to them. He introduces the important persons in every department to Xia Ning and Li Baoer.
Xia Ning thought that TIME was good, but comparing with World Era, TIME looks petty.
The grand and the petty, they are not for comparison.
They have walked for an hour before Gu Luan leads them to their department. Li Baoer is an assistant to a director. Xia Ning will be the Program Director of Entertainment News after one-month probation. The current director guiding Xia Ning is called Leng Weiwei. As her name means, she is a cold beauty.
Leng Weiwei will be promoted to be a Chief Editor. Xia Ning has a month to learn from her.
Leng Weiwei has her own personality. She wears a tight professional skirt, which reveals her tall and buxom body. When at work, she often wears a pair of glasses, a golden-frame one, the same as Gu Luan’s. Leng Weiwei doesn’t speak much. She tries not to speak if not necessary, but when she speaks, she always goes to the point. She is very capable at work.
She seems to be an iceberg. With only one glance, she can make men pursuing her retreat. However, as getting along with her, Xia Ning finds that Leng Weiwei is very patient and pays much attention to her people. For example, if she asks about the creating and filling of a report form in the morning, she will check again to make sure Xia Ning understand the issue once she has got some time.
Leng Weiwei seldom smiles either. But Xia Ning notices sometimes when Leng Weiwei is alone, she often looks quietly at the coffee held in her hand. Then, she will put it down and sticks her fingers into her long wavy hairs to do some furious scratching, as if she remembers something frustrating.
When at this time, Xia Ning often twitches her eyebrows, wondering if she is under too heavy work pressure. Working women tend to be sentimental more or less.
Leng Weiwei looks very cold and people in the company are all afraid of her. But after working with her for half a month, Xia Ning respects her very much. What is most important is that Leng Weiwei attaches great importance to one’s work capability instead of family background.
So, even though Xia Ning drives her F3 to work every day and many people in the company gossip about or laugh at her, Leng Weiwei has never changed the way she looks at Xia Ning. There are several times, when Leng Weiwei walks to work and sees Xia Ning, she hails her car and goes to work together with her.
The alarm clock rings. Xia Ning gets up. Yi Yunrui has left for the Military Region. He left a message by the pillow: Sweetie, there is soup in the kitchen. Breakfast is ready. You can have some before going to work. I put some snacks on the table. Remember to take them to your company.
Xia Ning smiles lightly. Commander Yi talks more and tends to be garrulous. She feels warm in heart. Yet, she is a little disappointed.
Every time when this happens, Yi Yunrui implies that he may not come back for supper.
She is hypoglycemic. Her diet has always been an important issue to Yi Yunrui. He takes a lot of efforts in thinking how to supplement nutrition for her. As a result, Xia Ning has had all kinds of delicious foods. She knows what Yi Yunrui thinks. He wants her not to eat outside if possible.
Xia Ning is grateful to him. She eats all that he prepared for breakfast and a bowl of soup. Then she takes the snacks and goes to work.
Her daily routine is that she goes to work with Li Baoer, works, and goes home. After supper, Yi Yunrui often prepares some other foods for her. Or, they will go for a walk hand in hand, wondering what to have as midnight snacks.
Xia Ning has been in C city for almost a month, and she finds she is getting fat. This is not good, but Yi Yunrui just mildly smiles. He says that he wants to raise her to be a white piggy.
One month passed. Li Baoer tells Xia Ning that after she gets the first month salary, she will give Xia Ning a real treat and then she will take a loan to buy a car. She feels sorry to have Xia Ning pick her up to work every day.
Xia Ning wants to reject, but she thinks that Li Baoer also needs to have a car. She agrees.
As regards to the position of Program Director of Entertainment, Xia Ning believes she is qualified for that. She also knows why Gu Luan makes this arrangement. The Director wants to cultivate her in the sense of fashion, because entertainment circle has most gossips and it is also the most exciting.
Later, the Director Office is basically all Xia Ning’s. Leng Weiwei has transferred to the Chief Editor Office and rarely comes to the Director Office. Leng Weiwei is promoted, but it can’t tell from her face whether she has any waves in her mind. She is still indifferent, cold and calm.
Today, Xia Ning has more things to do. She works overtime until it is past seven. World Era is different from TIME. People don’t work overtime every day. If they really can’t finish their work, the overtime pay is remarkable, but since the salary in World Era TV Station is very good, the staff don’t care much about the overtime pay. Generally, they will go home when they finish their work.
So, when Xia Ning comes out from the Director Office, there are few people in the building.
“Ning.”
It is Leng Weiwei calling. Xia Ning sees Leng Weiwei walk to her. She looks tired on her cold and beautiful face. Xia Ning asks, “Does the Chief Editor also work overtime?”
Leng Weiwei nods, “Do you drive today?”
“Hum.”
“Do you have anything unfinished now?”
“No. I am going home soon.”
“Then can you give me a ride?”
“Yes.” Xia Ning nods and responds. Leng Weiwei is logical in her words. When she speaks, she will eliminate all the other possibilities and then leads the things to her benefit.
At the time, Xia Ning’s phone rings. Li Baoer calls.
“Hi, Ning, I know you are working overtime. I have just finished. Shall we go together?”
Xia Ning nods, “OK. Let’s go together.”
“Together? There is someone else?”
“Hum. It is Chief Editor Leng.”
“Oh, it is all right. She is a nice person. Ha.” Li Baoer hangs up.
Xia Ning smiles and tells Leng Weiwei, “It is Baoer. She also works overtime.”
Leng Weiwei nods, “Let’s go.”
Li Baoer comes fast and has been waiting for them at the gate of the parking.
Lamps are turned on in the streets. There are more people walking and Xia Ning’s car can’t move fast. It goes slowly.
When the car goes from the big roads to a small path, Xia Ning sees a familiar car in her rearview mirror. She is surprised. She looks at the license plate carefully again and feels sweet. It is Yi Yunrui.
Err, seemingly he is back. She wonders when he comes after her.
Xia Ning is just going to tell Li Baoer about this when she suddenly finds that Leng Weiwei widens her eyes. It is followed by a loud clash. She is thrown away by the shock. Before she goes faint, the whole world is rotating...
