BXBX NOVEL Chapter 303 - The Concern from the Leaders
Xia Ning nods.
Gu Ruoruo rolls her eyes, “God. I thought I was a naughty kid. I didn’t know your mother-in-law would be so childish!”
Xia Ning smiles, “Then, will you forgive my brother?”
Gu Ruoruo pouts. The anger disappears, but she still doesn’t give in when she speaks, “It depends on what he will do.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief. Gu Ruoruo means yes by that.
“Then ... you are fine with the work here. I may go back to the hospital now.”
“Hum. Sister Xia, you may take good care of Commander Yi. The work here will be fine. I will take care of that.”
Xia Ning feels sweet, “Thank you.”
At the time, Gu Ruoruo’s phone rings. The call is from Gu Luan.
“Sister Xia, I need to see Brother Luan.” Gu Ruoruo turns to walk out.
Gu Luan’s phone rings again just after he hung up the call.
It shows a strange number.
“Hello?”
“Hello. Is that Director Gu?”
It sounds very official at the other end of the phone. It must be a big shot. Gu Luan responds, “Yes. May I ask who is that speaking?”
“This is Section Chief Li from the Organization Department of the Central Committee. It is nice to know you. Sorry for the sudden call.”
The Organization Department of the Central Committee!
Gu Luan tightens his heart. It is a call from the top management?
They greet each other for a while. Section Chief Li asks, “Director Gu, do you have a subordinate called Xia Ning?”
“Yes. She is the director of the Entertainment Department. Section Chief Li, is there any problem about her?”
“Oh. No.” Section Chief Li hesitates, “Well. Director Xia revealed a lot of social corruption and the leaders admire her very much. However, Director Xia has always been working hard and doesn’t have much time to rest. The leaders decide to give her a long leave to have a good rest before she comes back to fight again. Director Gu, please don’t take it wrong. The leaders are just being considerate to Director Xia. It is not about anything else.”
Hearing his words, Gu Luan frowns. Section Chief Li said that Xia Ning was given a leave. Actually, he was telling Gu Luan to shelve Xia Ning!
It is right. Xia Ning interviewed a lot of famous people recently and reported a lot of shocking entertainment news. However, all those didn’t touch the benefits of the management. Why does someone of the Organization Department call in person?
Do the leaders decide that? Is it true?
“Hum. Section Chief Li, I will think your suggestion over. I will make arrangements for Director Xia’s work first...”
“Director Gu, the leaders pay great attention to Director Xia’s health. We hope she can start her vacation as soon as possible. Well. Isn’t Director Xia on a leave for her wedding? Why not simply lengthen her vacation? It may be more convenient, isn’t it?”
It seems that Section Chief Li really wants Xia Ning to have the leave at once. Gu Luan thinks for a while, “OK. I will think about it. I may not keep you long here.”
Section Chief Li finds Gu Luan only promise to think about it. He doesn’t speak for quite a while. Then, he hangs up.
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows. Seemingly, Section Chief Li has his temper.
“Brother, I am here.” At the time, Gu Ruoruo opens the door and comes in.
“Ruoruo, come here.” Gu Luan says. He passes the files on the desk to Gu Ruoruo, “Take these files to Director Xia.”
“Ah, Brother Luan, you should tell me earlier. Sister Xia just left.”
Gu Luan is surprised, “Did she come back?”
“Yeah. She just left.”
“Anything happened?”
“No.” Gu Ruoruo curls her lips, “She just came back to give me some instructions about work.”
Gu Luan is aware that Gu Ruoruo is hesitating. He feels confused, “Seriously, anything happened?”
“No!” Gu Ruoruo responds impatiently, “Brother Luan, you are annoying!”
They are talking when Wan Liqing comes in, “Excuse me. I find the door open. So, I come in directly.”
Gu Ruoruo sees Wan Liqing here. She feels relieved, “Brother Luan, I may leave now. You take your time.”
Then, she turns around to leave.
“Luan.” Wan Liqing sits down, “I am here to ask about the Bo’ao World Economic and Trade Conference next month. Have you decided who to go with you?”
“Not yet.” Gu Luan briefly responds. Actually, he has made the decision in his heart.
Wan Liqing brightens her eyes, “Luan, it was always me to attend the conference with you in the past. I am now back to the company and have also got familiar with the operation of the company. Would you give this opportunity to me?”
Gu Luan takes a sip of the coffee. He doesn’t respond at once.
Actually, he is thinking that the management of the company may go together. However, Wan Liqing and Xia Ning don’t get along well. He is not worried about Xia Ning. But he is afraid that Wan Liqing may create some trouble.
He doesn’t want to take Wan Liqing with them.
But, if he skips Wan Liqing alone, it doesn’t seem right...
“The headquarters require that I should not take too many people with me. I will think about it carefully.”
Hearing his response, Wan Liqing feels her heart sinking!
Gu Luan is refusing her!
Yes, Gu Luan is refusing her!
“You are afraid that I may have some conflicts with Xia Ning, aren’t you?” Wan Liqing asks directly.
Gu Luan lifts her eyebrows, “I am afraid of any conflicts, including the one you mentioned.”
“In your opinion, I am a reckless, irrational woman? Gu Luan, I really don’t know when I become such a woman in your eyes! I am not a little kid!”
Gu Luan frowns. He responds indifferently, “I understand your meaning. I said I would think about it. Don’t be anxious.”
“I am not anxious!” She can’t accept it.
Why can’t she be comparable to a married woman? She really can’t accept that.
“Then you just wait for the news if you are not anxious. I will announce the name list in the meeting.”
Wan Liqing curls her lips tightly. She grits her teeth.
Xia Ning has to leave the company!
As long as Xia Ning is here, Wan Liqing and Gu Luan can never get reconciled!
For the happiness of her life, Wan Liqing has to totally get rid of Xia Ning!
“Luan, you only need to answer the question. Are you going with Xia Ning?”
Gu Luan’s eyes gleam sharply. He stares at Wan Liqing quietly.
For the benefits of both the company and Gu Luan himself, Xia Ning is more suitable than Wan Liqing to attend the conference.
Wan Liqing tends to be more and more sentimental at work.
“Director Wan, I hope you understand. Ning is the excellent employee of the year in the company. So, she must attend the conference...”
“I knew it!” Not waiting for Gu Luan to finish his words, Wan Liqing interrupts loudly, “I knew you were always partial to her! Gu Luan, you have to understand. No matter what you do, she is not going to look at you heartedly, let alone fall in love with you.”
“Shut up!” Gu Luan realizes that Wan Liqing goes on speaking irrationally. He loses his patience, “If you insist saying that, I won’t argue with you! I only hope you can separate personal issue from work. Don’t involve your personal emotions at work!”
“Personal emotions?” Wan Liqing sneers, “Just now, you addressed me Director Wan while when talking about her, you addressed her Ning. Who gets personal emotions involved here?”
Gu Luan feels stuck to hear her words.
The addresses...
At the time, Gu Luan’s phone rings. He waves his hand at Wan Liqing when he glimpses the number, “You may go out for now.”
Wan Liqing grits her teeth. She stands up and walks out forcefully in her high heel shoes.
Gu Luan strokes his forehead. He presses the answer button. The person at the other end cries in excitement before he opens his mouth, “Gu Luan, the bet finished yesterday. I won. Ha! Ha!”
Gu Luan feels surprised. He glances at the date.
Oh...a month passed.
“Hum. It seems I underestimated Master Leon’s ability. I lost. Well, you can say. What do you want?”
It is in the hospital.
“Mrs. Yi!”
Zhang Hai comes in hurriedly. He is so surprised that he even forgets to salute Yi Yunrui.
Xia Ning sees him come in hurriedly. She is confused, “Zhang, what’s wrong?”
Zhang Hai shows his phone to Xia Ning, “Mrs. Yi, look...”
He has not finished his words when he suddenly sees Yi Yunrui’s sharp eyes. Zhang Hai pauses and at once stands at attention, “Commander!”
“Be steady next time!” Yi Yunrui says. He is a little displeased.
“Yes, Sir! I will keep it in my mind.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Ah. Why do you have to be so serious? Zhang, let me see what’s in your phone.”
Then, Xia Ning reads a message in Zhang Hai’s phone. It says that XX Bank remitted thirty thousand yuan to his account at noon today.
Xia Ning is shocked. Thirty thousand Yuan?
“The money is...” Xia Ning feels confused.
“I also feel confused. Well. Can it be the strange man we met yesterday?” Zhang Hai feels regretful at once after he says the words.
Unconsciously, he glances at Yi Yunrui.
God. How could he mention what happened yesterday?
“Which strange man? What happened?”
Unsurprisingly, Yi Yunrui asks Zhang Hai in a cold voice.
Zhang Hai gets the guts! How dare he hide things from me!
Zhang Hai draws back. Secretly, he slaps himself in his heart. Xia Ning sees Zhang Hai’s embarrassment. She says, “Nothing important. Yesterday, a foreigner broke a bottle of wine in the supermarket and didn’t have money to pay for it. I helped him pay. The foreigner said that he would return the money today. The money may be remitted by him.” But Xia Ning feels confused, “It is not right. The wine only costs several thousand yuan. But the remitted amount is thirty thousand. Why?”
“Let me have a look at the remittance message.” Yi Yunrui takes the phone over and glances at the message, “The message is confidentially treated. The code is special and normal machine can’t track it. Seemingly, the foreigner has some special background.”
Zhang Hai is surprised to hear Yi Yunrui’s words, “Commander, how do you know this remittance is made by that foreigner?”
“This special code is used abroad. Those who can use this code are big shots. Zhang Hai, did you ever tell anyone else except this foreigner about your bank account?”
“No. This bank account is only known to my parents and the foreigner we met yesterday. No one else knows it.”
“Yeah. Then it must be him.”
“My god.” Zhang Hai feels it unbelievable, “He is really a rich man! Anyway, what a strange man! He has so much money. Why did he play the game like that? Does he really feel too bored?”
Zhang Hai’s phone rings while he is speaking.
