Within an hour, Xia Ning arrives at B City.
Xia Ning’s mobile phone rings when she just gets off the plane. It is from Ou Yixuan, asking her to go directly to the company.
Xia Ning has a lot of luggage, so she decides to return to the Yasi Villa before going to the company.
Thirty minutes later, Xia Ning appears under TIME ERA TV Station.
When Xia Ning steps into the office building, everyone looks at her. Li Bao’er runs to her and whispers, “Is the interview completed? Oh, Miss Xia is going to be promoted!”
Xia Ning smiles softly and just wants to say something, then she sees Ou Yixuan walk out of the office and go straight toward her.
“I will return to my seat.”
Li Bao’er slips back, and then Ou Yixuan stops in front of her, “Is the interview completed?”
“Yeah.” Xia Ning nods.
“Did you say you were getting off the plane? Why do you just arrive at the company now?”
“I got something to do first, so...”
“Vice President Zheng has been waiting for you in the office for a long time. Go inside.”
Vice President Zheng came for her?! Which Vice President Zheng?
“Vice President Zheng?”
“The wife of the chairman of TIME ERA TV Station, Vice President Zheng Ran.” Ou Yixuan looks at her with a strange look, “She is your aunt. Don’t you know?”
Aunt?!
Xia Ning blinks, aunt... Is she the sister of her mother-in-law Zheng Yao?!
“Oh, I know, thank you for your reminder.”
Ou Yixuan glances at her and nods, “Get in.”
Following Ou Yixuan, Xia Ning feels a little bit upside and down. Her mother-in-law doesn’t like her. She doesn’t know much about the Yi family.
There is a woman sitting in the office, tall and wearing closes from famous brands. She looks similar to Zheng Yao, but her eyes are sharp. At first glance, Xia Ning knows that she is a smart and capable woman.
“Vice President Zheng, Xia Ning is here.” Ou Yixuan introduces, “Vice President Zheng, this is Clerk Xia who just finished her interview with Mr. Dai.”
“Hello, Vice President Zheng.” Zheng Ran is staring at her. Her sight is like a knife, making her chilly.
“Are you Xia Ning?”
“Yes.”
Zheng Ran looks at Xia Ning for a while, and she says, “Mr. Dai’s interview. Show me.”
Xia Ning puts the first draft of the interview on the desk, “This is the first draft. Please take a look.”
Zheng Ran reads the manuscript and says nothing. The atmosphere is very quiet, and Xia Ning feels even more uneasy. Xia Ning doesn’t know why she always feels that the aunt uses a strange tone to speak to her.
After reading it for a while, Zheng Ran closes the manuscript, “There are many things need to be revised. The first draft is not qualified. Go back and modify it.”
Xia Ning feels grave, “Ok.”
It’s bad. As the vice president personally says that it is not good, it seems that the draft should be modified a lot.
Zheng Ran takes a sip of tea and puts the cup down, “I’ve heard from Yixuan that you want to get promotion and a raise in salary, right?”
Speaking of the key point!
“Yes,” Xia Ning tries to calm herself down, “Vice President, I have been working at TIME ERA TV for three years, and my work attitude has been sincere and serious. In addition, this time I finished my interview with Mr. Dai. I believe that I can do a higher level of work. So, I asked for a raise in salary and promotion.”
“Yes, you have been working on TIME ERA TV for three years and deserve a raise in your salary. This time, since you completed Mr. Dai’s interview, it is normal for you to get a promotion.”
Xia Ning is relieved.
Zheng Ran pauses, looking at Xia Ning with her eyes slightly narrowed, “If your work attitude has been really sincere and serious, It is reasonable that there will be opportunities for you to get an increased salary and promotion. However, you have been a clerk after working in the TV station for three years. On this point, I believe that Mr. Ou is a man who admires talents. For three years, he has never mentioned you to me. As far as I know, you are an old acquaintance with Ou Yixuan. Now, Xia Ning, what do you say about this?”
What Zheng Ran said makes Xia Ning a bit speechless.
Three years ago, she and Ou Yixuan entered the TIME ERA TV station. Both of them were full of vigor and vitality. However, Ou Yixuan is better at communicating and dealing with interpersonal relationship and has stronger capability than her, so Ou Yixuan has been steadily promoted. In the past three years, Ou Yixuan has been working hard for himself, and has no time taking care of her. She thought she would be ok as long as Ou Yixuan was with her and his achievements were hers.
Now she finds that she was too stupid. She never fought for what she deserved. Now, she ends up with nothing. On the contrary, she is even misunderstood by others!
Pressing her lips, Xia Ning glances at Ou Yixuan. He sits aside without say anything.
Xia Ning snorts. This man just thinks about himself! She is really stupid, really really stupid!
“I don’t know.” She replies straightforwardly and doesn’t want to explain.
Zheng Ran blinks, “Although your performance is average, in terms of your three years of hard work for the company, the company will consider your request. You may get a raise in salary and promotion.”
At this time, Zheng Ran’s cell phone rings. She looks at the caller’s number and smiles, “Tingting, why don’t you come now? Mommy has been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, come in. Come in. Mommy is in the office of Mr. Ou...”
“Mom, I’m coming! Bye!”
Before Zheng Ran finishes her sentence, the office door is opened, and a girl about twenty or so with a tall figure like Zheng Ran comes in. She has a pair of big and beautiful eyes, like a Barbie doll.
Seeing Zheng Ran, Xiao Tingting hugs her and says intimately, “Oh, I’m late just for a while, Mom, you don’t have to hurry me for ten hundred times!”
“You little girl! Show some respects!” Zheng Ran stares at her and says, “Well, there are other people here! Behave yourself!”
Xiao Tingting stands at attention, “Yes, President Zheng!”
“Xia Ning,” looking at Xia Ning, the smile on Zheng Ran’s face completely disappears. She speaks to her coldly, “This is the new editor of TIME ERA TV Station, Xiao Tingting. You will be her assistant later.”
“Hello, Editor Xiao.” Xia Ning politely greets her.
“Are you Xia Ning?” Xiao Tingting is surprised, and then disdained, “Oh, I thought Xia Ning is a great beauty. I see! How can you be a perfect match for my cousin with such a face?! I don’t believe it before. Now it seems that you really adopt some dirty methods!”
Xia Ning’s face is clouded over. It seems that she is “notorious” now.
Smiling slightly, Xia Ning doesn’t explain.
Because her explanation is useless.
“What are you smiling at? Are you angry with me? Do you think that I should call you sister-in-law!” Xia Ning’s smile makes Xiao Tingting misunderstand, “I tell you, stay away from me! I don’t want to have any relationship with you!”
“Editor Xiao,” Ou Yixuan tries to mediate the dispute, “Maybe you misunderstand. Xia Ning smiles because she is promoted. Xia Ning will be your assistant. As Xia Ning is an experienced employee, she can help you with many things.”
With a look of disgust, Xiao Tingting says to Zheng Ran, “Mom, I don’t want her to be my assistant! This kind of woman is too disgusting!”
“Nonsense!” Zheng Ran’s face is clouded over, “We’re at the company, Tingting. We have to be fair. Your Mom has already decided. Don’t say anything like this.”Xiao Tingting curls her lips. Under the condition of not violating principles, her mother dotes on her a lot. Now, since her mother is obviously unhappy, she’d better not talk back.“Um!” Very unwilling, Xiao Tingting turns around.“Vice President Zheng, Editor Xiao,” says Xia Ning, who has been silent for a long time. “If Editor Xiao feels that I’m not qualified as an assistant, the company can make another arrangement. No matter what arrangement the company makes, I will agree to it.” When Xiao Tingting shows her attitude, she realized that something is aimed at her. Today, after meeting Zheng Ran, she knows Zheng Ran’s attitude towards her directly determines her future in the TIME ERA. It is time for her to be mentally prepared.She didn’t fight doesn’t mea
The next day, Xia Ning comes to the company early. Ou Yixuan has already made arrangement for the Chief Editor Office and for her working desk too. Xia Ning is uncertain. She comes to the office half an hour earlier to check if there is anything to follow up.She is clear what it means to be the assistant to Xiao Tingting.The office hour starts at half past eight and Xiao Tingting arrives at eight fifteen. She sees Xia Ning who says hi to her with a big smile, yet, she walks straight past her without a look.Xia Ning blinks. Well, here starts the test from the organization.When it is time to work, Ou Yixuan holds a meeting and specially introduces Xiao Tingting to everybody. Xiao Tingting is nice to everyone, except to Xia Ning.Xiao Tingting is so indifferent to Xia Ning that Li Baoer frowns. In an instant, she understands how Xia Ming felt yesterday.When coming back to the Chief Editor Office, the fir
Xia Ning clenches her fists and tries to control herself. It is no use to argue with Xiao Tingting at the moment. Xiao Tingting is her boss. She will lose any arguments. “OK. I will give you the report for the exclusive interview. I get to go to work.” Xia Ning says and prepares for her work.“One minute.” Xiao Tingting looks at her long fingers, “I don’t have any snacks here. Go to buy some. Here is the list; get all of them.”Dropping a piece of paper on Xia Ning’s desk, Xiao Tingting turns back and walks away.Dozens of snacks are listed on the paper. Xia Ning reads and takes several deep breaths to keep her emotion stable. It seems that in the following five days, except for the exclusive interview with President Li, she still needs to take all the tortures from Xiao Tingting. Taking the paper, Xia Ning estimates the time it will take to buy the snacks and has a quick look at Li Dezheng’s information. She plans t
Yi Yunrui’s voice is soft. Xia Ning is warm inside. She wipes her tears, “Hum, I know. Don’t worry. I am fine.”In an instant, Xia Ning knows that she can live through.Because he is here for her.“You are not in good health. Go to bed earlier. About your job at the TIME ERA TV Station, do you want me to arrange it for you?”“No need. I am young. I can handle it.” Listening to his voice, Xia Ning feels much better, “I get to the company. Do you have any other things to tell me?”The other side is silent for a while, “No, there isn’t.”“Well. So it is. Bye.” Xia Ning hangs up the phone and releases a deep breath.It will be OK. She will be OK. She will certainly get the exclusive interview with Li Dezheng done.There must be something she missed.Thinking of this, Xia Ning takes out Li Dezheng’s information and looks it over again and then her eyes lighten.
It reminds Zheng Yao, who stops and puts down the phone, “That’s right. I miss this. Then what can we do? She is too arrogant!”“Anyway, that woman is your daughter-in-law. Yunrui just married her. Let’s wait and see.” Zheng Ran pats her sister’s shoulder, “We have to believe Yunrui has the judgement.”Zheng Yao goes silent and signs at last. She shakes her head, “She is the one Yunrui chose. We cannot but wait.”Yin Jingyao darkens her face and feels full of complaints in her heart.Xia Ning, let us wait and see. Yi Yunrui’s wife will be me, only.On the road, people and cars come and go, with endless noises. “Hum, drive into No. 2, Kanghe Alley. Yes, it is.” According to the information, Xia Ning comes to a remote alley. There is some distance from here to downtown. People of B City know that this is the slum in B City.Xia Ning gets off, among the criss-cross alleys. She look
Early morning of the next day, Xia Ning goes back to TIME. Firstly, she puts a schedule on Xiao Tingting’s desk. Then, she takes the document and goes directly to Li’s Multinational Group.Seeing Xia Ning waiting early there, Li Dezheng’s secretary is shocked with surprise. Xia Ning says hi to her and asks her to inform President Li. She says nothing more. Xia Ning waits there, doing nothing for so long a time that the secretary feels embarrassed. She goes to inform Li Dezheng. It is lucky that Li Dezheng is back to the office today earlier than usual. Xia Ning has only waited for about an hour before she sees Li Dezheng get to the office.Seeing her, Li Dezheng directly tells her to enter the office.“So, have you made the decision?” This is the first question after Xia Ning enters the office.Xia Ning smiles and sits down. She is calm, “President Li, would you please give me half an hour for the interv
Xiao Tingting is in a fury. Xia Ning smiles slightly, “Chief Editor Xiao, you told me to find the way to do the exclusive interview. Now it is done. Why are you still unsatisfied?”“You.” Xia Tingting does not expect Xia Ning’s talking back. She bites her teeth, “I am asking what the hell you have done to enrage President Li?”“Nothing, I just told him to be a dutiful son.”“!” Xia Ning is puzzled about Xia Ning’s words. She did not read Li Dezheng’s material and cannot understand what it means, “No matter what, President Li is angry and you are going to get rid of it.”Xia Ning’s face darkens, “Chief Editor, I have finished the exclusive interview. President is angry because he just wants to say he is angry. I have done nothing to him.”“I don’t care!” Xiao Tingting claps her desk, “In any means, you have to get President Li away from his rage.” Xia Ning clenches her fists, restively she says, “Sorry. I
“The number you have dialed is power off…”Xia Ning frowns, Yi Yunrui turns off his phone?What happened?Feeling uncertain, Xia Ning dials again but the answer is the same.Xia Ning looks at the phone blankly for a while and signs. Maybe Army Commander Yi is too busy. Or, maybe something happened in the Army region and phones are not allowed…Anyway, if anything happened to Yi Yunrui, Zheng Yao wouldn’t have been so quiet.In this world, among the many people caring about Yi Yunrui, who she is?“Xia Ning, open the door for me!”Li Bao’er comes with her big voice. Xia Ning feels warm. She puts down the phone and goes to open the door.Li Bao’er enters with the look of coming all the way in a hurry. She goes directly to the refrigerator, takes a bottle of beverage, opens it and drinks. “Miss Li Bao’er, what have you done? How can you be so thirsty like t
