Chapter 333 I Give You an Opportunity

The car stops there and the window is opened. A woman sits inside wearing a pair of sunglasses.

The woman takes out her phone and dials a number. At the time, Wan Liqing’s phone rings.

It is an unknown number.

Wan Liqing hears the ring. Instinctively, she doesn’t think that it is just a coincidence!

She hesitates for a while and presses the answer button.

“Do you hate Xia Ning very much?”

She asks so frankly that Wan Liqing feels shocked. She looks at the woman surprisingly.

The woman also looks at her.

Very confused in her mind, she purses her lips and asks, “Who are you? How do you know my phone number?”

“You don’t need to know who I am or how I know your phone number. You and I are in common in one thing: I hate Xia Ning very much!” The woman responds. She hangs up her phone and passes something black to Wan Liqing.

Wan Liqing doesn’t take it over at once.

Is this a trap?

“If you are such a coward, how can you get rid of Xia Ning? Don’t forget she has a commander behind her back. If you miss this opportunity, you will never have the chance to get rid of her all your life.”

Wan Liqing feels her heart tightened!

“You have ten seconds to decide whether you want to take it or not. Anyway, I have offered you the opportunity. Don’t feel regretful after you miss it. Ten, nine, eight…”

The black thing is just like Pandora’s box. Wan Liqing feels a little afraid, but she holds out her hand to take it over.

When she gets the black thing, Wan Liqing regrets. She asks, “Wait. What is this?”

“Two days ago, Xia Ning came back from an exclusive interview. This thing can take her to death.”

“Why should I trust you?” Wan Liqing is afraid that the strange woman may make use of her!

The woman smiles coldly, “To believe or not is up to you. Anyway, it is safe for you and won’t put you in trouble. Even if you use the thing, other people may not notice it at once. When they finally find out, you may have left the Weekly for a long holiday already. Who will think that it is done by you?”

Her words shock Wan Liqing all of a sudden!

How does this woman know about what she talked with Gu Luan just now?

“Who on earth are you?” Wan Liqing turns alert.

“Someone who takes the same stand with you. Don’t think of coming to investigate me. You can’t make it.” Then, the woman drives to leave.

Wan Liqing hurriedly turns on her light to check the license number of the woman’s car, but finds no numbers in her license plate!

A car without a license plate?

Wait. Can she come from upper management?

Wan Liqing takes a cold breath. She wonders whether she is lucky or not. However, she is clear that she is not capable enough to offend the woman.

On the morning of the next day, Xia Ning comes back to the company. There are only a few people there.

There is still an hour to office time. Xia Ning smiles in self-mockery, wondering if she is a little stupid.

In the Tea Room, she sits down to look at the coffee maker’s working quietly. It is silent around.

She didn’t sleep well because Yi Yunrui was not with her.

Ah. That is who she is. But she is not forced to love Yi Yunrui so much, isn’t she?

The coffee maker beeps and draws Xia Ning back to her consciousness. She makes a cup of coffee for herself and takes it back to her office.

She will finish the report for Tang Qieying’s exclusive interview in two days. She remembers that Leng Weiwei wanted to give Gu Ruoruo an opportunity. So, she will ask Gu Ruoruo to finish it. Compared with how she was two years ago, Gu Ruoruo has made rapid progress. Basically, she can work independently now.

If Ruoruo can pass the probation of three months and Gu Luan will be back in the company at that time, there won’t be any problems for Gu Ruoruo.

Xia Ning sits in the turning chair. She drinks the coffee while looking outside where the world seems to be just woken in the early spring morning. Everything looks so energetic. She wonders what Yi Yunrui is doing. Does he get up? Has he had any breakfast?

Ever since she came back to C City, she has lost contact with Yi Yunrui. Even Zhang Hai doesn’t know how to contact him. Xia Ning feels helpless.

Without Yi Yunrui around, Xia Ning only has very weak power. She wants to become stronger. At least, strong enough for her to help Yi Yunrui in some aspects.

However, at present, she can’t but wait and wait patiently.

It is not known how long she keeps looking outside until it turns sunny. The world gets bright. Then, a knock at the door draws her back to reality.

Xia Ning turns around. She puts down the coffee and finds it already cold.

“Come in.”

The door is opened and Gu Ruoruo comes in with a girl who is in her twenties with a full sense of youth.

“Morning, Sister Xia. This is Su Xueli.”

Xia Ning checks on the girl in a pink dress. She has a round pink face with big eyes, smiling shyly and she looks quiet and intelligent. However, she is with the aroma of the countryside.

Xia Ning feels surprised. Didn’t she graduate from the University of Chicago? Why does she look like that after studying abroad?

Actually, Xia Ning doesn’t discriminate against her. She just feels very confused.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Su. Please have a seat.” Xia Ning says and points at the sofa in front of her.

“Nice to meet you, too, Director Xia.” Su Xueli puts on a brighter smile. She sits honestly in front of Xia Ning.

Su Xueli speaks in an obvious countryside accent, which makes Xia Ning even more confused. She can’t help taking out Su Xueli’s file and reads it again, “Miss Su, you graduated from the University of Chicago, didn’t you?”

“Uh-huh. I got my Master’s degree there two years ago, but I went home for farming for two years before I came out to hunt for a job. My parents are traditional farmers, and I had been out for education for so long a time and wanted to stay at home with them for some time. Therefore, I don’t come out to look for a job until now.”

It is not surprising that her accent is odd. It turns out that she went home to farm for two years.

Don’t the graduates from abroad all go to find jobs with a high salary? Su Xueli is really different ideologically.

She is really patient enough.

If it were Xia Ning, she would possibly go home to give her parents a hand, but she wouldn’t stay as long as two years with them.

Xia Ning feels very confused. However, Su Xueli is recommended by Leng Weiwei, so she must have her advantages. Therefore, Xia Ning stops doubting about her.

“Do you like to work in the field of weekly magazines? Especially, in my department, it is inevitable that you will need to run around outside. Do you know what you are expected to do?”

“Yes. I know. My dream is to become a reporter ever since I was a little girl. Now, my dream comes true. I hope Director Xia can give me some guidance. I will work very hard.”

Xia Ning has a brief conversation with Su Xueli. She finds that the girl is very frank. Xi Ning is afraid that she may not get used to the reporter’s work.

Anyway, every newcomer will be given probation for three months. When Gu Ruoruo came to the weekly, she looked even more naïve. Now, she does quite well.

Thinking about this, Xia Ning arranges Su Xueli to practice under Gu Ruoruo. She deliberately tells Gu Ruoruo to pay more attention to this newcomer.

In the following hours, she finds that Gu Ruoruo and Su Xueli seem to have become good friends. They agree to have lunch together at noon.

As to office politics, Xia Ning is always impartial. It seems that Gu Ruoruo and Su Xueli are both young girls and have many things in common. Thus, they get familiar with each other very soon.

Xing Ning made the appointment with Su Shen to meet at three in the afternoon at Starbucks. After lunch, she gives some instructions to Gu Ruoruo and then drives to Starbuck early.

However, she is surprised to see that Su Shen has been sitting in the coffee shop waiting for her.

Xia Ning glances at the time. There is still half an hour to three o’clock. President Su came very early!

Su Shen wears a silver suit. He looks quiet and elegant. Xia Ning feels impressed to see him.

As to his facial features, Su Shen is not as charming as Yi Yuntian or as firm as Yi Yunrui or as gentle as Gu Luan. We may say that he is inferior to all the three. However, his elegance and quietness seem to be natural.

With a cup of coffee in front of him, Su Shen quietly looks through the window. He is silent. It can’t tell from his face what he is thinking about.

It is noisy in the coffee shop, while the place Su Shen is sitting in seems to be independently quiet as if it is isolated.

“Hello, President Su. Sorry, I am late.” Xia Ning apologizes.

“It should be me to say sorry. I came early.” Su Shen mildly smiles. He gently waves his hand and the waiter comes to him.

“Sir, Madam, what can I do for you?”

“Please bring me a cup of cappuccino. Thank you.”

Su Shen’s eyes slightly gleam, “Please give me a refill.”

“OK. In a minute.”

The waiter leaves. Su Shen says, “I asked Director Xia to come at three in the afternoon. Sorry to disturb your work. My apologies.”

“It doesn’t matter. It is my work to meet you here. President Su, you are too polite.”

They greet each other when the waiter serves the coffee they ordered.

Su Shen takes up the coffee for a sip and puts it down, “I stayed at home in the last two years and seldom paid any attention to my company. I told my staff to deal with everything. Recently, the company wants to expand its business, but I seldom contacted people and kept away from my friends in the commercial circle. So, with the exclusive interview, I want to tell them all that Su Shen is back.”

Xia Ning nods, “Your company has great influence. This time, President Su contacts us for the interview. It is our honor…”

“Miss Xia.” Su Shen indifferently interrupts, “Since we are here, we may temporarily not talk about business. We can have a chat. What do you think?”

Xia Ning feels surprised. She responds, “OK. Let’s chat. What does president Su like?”

“Coffee.” Su Shen responds at once, “Cappuccino and Caramel Macchiato.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Both the things are her favorite.

“Xiaolan used to love these two kinds of coffee. She drank several cups of coffee every day. However, coffee is not good for health, so I always tried to use something else to replace it. But no matter what I did, she couldn’t quit it. In the end, during her pregnancy, for the health of the baby, Xiaolan forced herself to stop.” Su Shen smiles, “Every time, when she smelt the flavor of coffee, she would go directly to it. Every time, I had to hold her away by force.”

Xia Ning is aware of the happiness and tenderness on Su Shen’s face. She feels a little sad in her heart. She can imagine what a happy couple they used to be.

Xia Ning is afraid that she may remind Su Shen of his grief. She listens quietly and doesn’t speak.

After quite a while, Su Shen gives a sigh, “Miss Xia also likes to drink these two kinds of coffee, don’t you?”
