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 interview?”
Li Dezheng is surprised that instead of answering his question, Xia Ning raises another one. He crosses his arms, “Little girl, I don’t think you understand what I mean. What’s Xiao Tingting’s response? And have you thought it over yourself? This is your second chance and I rarely give a second chance to other people.”
“I understand.” Xia Ning says slowly, “First, Chief Director Xiao said that she doesn’t have the time and cannot have dinner with you. Second, I will never spend a night with any men, except my husband.”
Li Dezheng raises his eyebrows, looking at her as if she is a freak, “Then, why do you come here? To waste my time?”
“Of course not. I am here for the exclusive interview…”
“No way.” Without waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Li Dezheng waves his hands and interrupts, “Leave my office in one minute, or, I will ask someone to make you do.”
“So, I still have one minute. Right?” Xia Ning puts the document she prepared in front of Li Dezheng, “President Li, please read this document with this one minute and then you will decide whether you would like to have the exclusive interview.”
Li Dezheng looks annoyed. He stares hard at Xia Ning and takes up the document, anyway.
Just a few seconds later, Li Dezheng turns pale. He drops the document fiercely on the table, “Woman, you have got the gut. How dare you play a trick on me? Aren’t you afraid that you may be in danger?”
The document on the table is in a mess because of the dropping. The topic on the front page is highlighted: Li Dezheng, Your Mom Is Calling You to Go Home for Dinner!
The smile on Xia Ning’s face grows bigger. Li Dezheng is irritated as expected.
Li Dezheng got rich suddenly, but he did not treat his biological mother well. Morally speaking, Li Dezheng is unfilial. In Li Dezheng’s opinion, he doesn’t care whether people say he is unfilial. What he cares is the impact of public opinion. Every large enterprise cannot stand the impact of reputation and morality problems.
Not to mention that he is the president of the company. The negative influence will be seriously terrible.
“If I am in danger, President Li will read a lot of “very interesting” stories in tomorrow’s newspaper.”
Xia Ning deliberately emphasizes the words “very interesting”. Li Dezheng frowns.
She knows that Li Dezheng starts to falter. She adds, “So, I would like to have an exclusive interview with you, for half an hour. I wonder if it is convenient for you.”
Li Dezheng turns his eyes and says, “I have a meeting today. Come here tomorrow at the same time…”
“President Li, I am sorry.” Xia Ning interrupts. She predicted Li Dezheng’s reactions in advance. He is just making time to figure out how to deal with the problem. She will not give him the break, “One hour later, my report will come out. President Li, so…” She smiles but says no more.
“You!” Li Dezheng bursts into anger. Being fighting in the business world for so many years, he fears no one. Unexpectedly, he is being threatened by a callow woman!
Staring at Xia Ning’s smiling face, Li Dezheng takes out a cigar and tries to light it. He thinks for a while and then drops the cigar, “Let’s do it.”
The exclusive interview doesn’t matter, but that report does. It is not but an exclusive interview. There is no need to take the risk of ruining the image of the company!
“OK.” Xia Ning opens her notebook, “As it is convenient, let’s begin now.”
It takes about thirty minutes for Xia Ning to finish the exclusive interview with Li Dezheng. Li Dezheng finishes the last question and tells her to get out immediately. Until the moment she has left Li’s Group, Xia Ning keeps the professional smile on her face.
When she is back to the TIME ERA TV Station, Xiao Tingting is already there. Seeing her coming, Xiao Tingting sarcastically asks, “Why? Are you sent back again?”
“Yes, I am driven back.” Xia Ning answers honestly.
Xiao Tingting darkens her face, “Assistant Xia. It is not your first working day. If every reporter works like you, how can the company go…”
“Excuse me. I cannot get what you mean.” Xia Ning impolitely interrupts the lecture and puts the first draft on her desk, “This is about the exclusive interview with Li Dezheng. Would the Chief Editor check if there is anything you want to add in it?”
Being interrupted, Xiao Tingting is at the edge of losing her temper, while she sees the draft on the desk and is surprised that she forgets her words!
She gave Xia Ning five days, while it takes her only two days to finish the task.
Xiao Tingting can’t believe it. She takes up the draft and reads and listens to the tape. It is truly the exclusive interview with Li Dezheng. Looking at Xia Ning’s smiling face, she has the feeling of being slapped.
She is in anger when her phone rings. It is a strange number.
She hesitates and presses the key, “Hello…”
“This is Li Dezheng, is that Chief Editor Xiao?”
Li Tingting is stunned and then she smiles, “Yes, it is Xiao Tingting, President Li.”
“Is Xia Ning your assistant?”
Xiao Tingting glances at Xia Ning and is surprised, “Yes. Isn’t Assistant Xia just back from your company? What do you mean?”
“I mean Chief Editor Xiao has a great talent. It is but an exclusive interview. How dare you play the trick on me? Are there any things that your TV station cannot do? I have seen your capability.”
Being reprimanded by Li Dezheng inexplicably, Xiao Tingting is surprised, “President Li, what happened? Would you tell me more? What on earth Assistant Xia has done to make you so angry?”
“Ask her yourself!” Li Dezheng shouts. Then he sneers, “Chief Editor Xiao, we both are grown-ups. It is no need to play the trick. If it is not ordered by you, how dare your people do that? I will keep your move in mind. We will have more chance in the future. Wait and see!”
Li Dezheng hangs up directly after finish his speech. Xiao Tingting is stunned and then she feels a fury. She drops her phone fiercely on the desk and shouts at Xian Ning, “Xia Ning, what the hell did you do?”
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
“Ah! Li Baoer, get up. We are late!”As loud as a pig may shout when being slaughtered, Xia Ning risks her life to wake up Li Baoer and then goes to wash up in a hurry.Since she drank last night and feels dizzy today and she gets up too quickly, Xia Ning almost falls down to the floor after a few steps. She leans on the wall for a while and then stumbles to the washing room.“Li Baoer, get up now…” While brushing her teeth, Xia Ning shouts. She is dizzy.One minute later, Li Baoer rushes into the washing room and brushes her teeth quickly.“Are you OK? Why do you look so pale?” Li Baoer is shocked when she sees Xia Ning.Xia Ning shakes her head and goes on with her washing.Five minutes later, they hail a taxi and go to work.Sitting by Xia Ning, Li Baoer hesitates how to tell her what Xiao Tingting said. When they are going to arrive at the company, Li Bao’er says straightly, “
Xiao Tingting is overwhelmed by Yi Yunrui’s anger and dares not to say a word. She curls her lips and lowers her head. As if she suddenly remembers something, she winks at Ou Yixuan.Ou Yixuan frowns. He wants to say something when he realizes that Yi Yunrui is already staring at him.This man is born with king’s dignity. Even the boldest cannot withstand his forceful eyeing. In an instant, Ou Yixuan feels the chaos in his heart. Having been working and dealing with all sorts of people in the society for several years, he has learned to hide his emotions. He can face senior officers, the rich and the powerful with skills and ease, but he is always at a loss in front of this man, Commander of C District, Yi Yunrui. “Commander Yi,” Ou Yixuan tries hard to put on a smile on his face and says ambiguously, “I think there are some misunderstandings here. So, we are negotiating with President Li’s secretary now…Could you please wait for
What Yi Yunrui says is like a terrifying bomb and Director Tong is blown stunned. If it is only about Li Dezheng, there will be no need for him to deal with it personally. The point is that there are too many interests and secrets behind him. If he looks into these, he doesn’t know what kind of important people will be found involved. The Yi Family is powerful in B City. As Yi Yunrui has told him to do it, he has no other choices. “Well…OK. No problem. Respecting justice and observing laws is everyone’s duty. As for the bribery issue of Li Dezheng, it is an unescapable duty for the law enforcement department to find out the truth. Commander, please trust us. I will take care of this.” Director Tong looks serious, “Within today, I will give you an answer about Li Dezheng’s issue. You have my words.”Yi Yunrui nods and turns to Xia Ning, being ready to carry her up.“No, I can walk.” Xia Ning moves backward a little.
Yi Yunrui’s face darkens. He sounds extremely unhappy, “Just tell me what happened.”Feng Le sticks out his tongue, “Yes, Sir. One, Miss X is drunk and lying on the sofa in the living room. Two, I find two certificates in the bedroom: the business license and certificate of land ownership of Hokkaido Sushi restaurant. Three, Yasi Villa is in a mess. Do you think it needs a clean-up?Yi Yunrui is stunned. Why did she go to Yasi Villa?Isn’t she…In an instant, Yi Yunrui understands why Xia Ning left Yasi Villa. His heart aches with a sense of guilt“No need. I will call her later. You can come back. Don’t let her know I am in B city.”“Yes, Sir. Then do you think I should bring the certificates with me?”“Yes. Please.” Yi Yunrui hangs up.After standing by the door for a while, Yi Yunrui opens the door and notices that Xia Ning who originally was asleep in the bed before is trying
The room is not big and they are the only two in it. At the moment, being embraced by Yi Yunrui, Xia Ning blushes. She is so shy that she buries her head deep into his embrace.“Ning.” Yi Yunrui opens his mouth, “We have been married for two months. Yes?”“Hum.” Xia Ning nods.“Do you think…I am qualified enough to be your husband?”Xia Ning pauses. She does not understand what the question refers to. She lifts her head and looks at him in perplexity.“I am thirty-three years old this year.” Looking at her eyes, Yi Yunrui seriously says, “I am a soldier and seldom come home. When I was twenty-five, my mother began to introduce girls to me constantly.When mentioning this, Yi Yunrui pauses and Xia Ning’s heart aches unexpectedly. “However, I hope you keep one thing in mind.” Yi Yunrui holds her more tightly, “In my lifetime, I will not get married except my wife is you.”Hearing t
When she sees Yi Yunrui wearing an incredible look, Xia Ning is so shy that she hides back to the quilt.Although she was with Ou Yixuan for eight years, it really did not ever happen…Ha…It is embarrassing to talk about that.Yi Yunrui looks at her, the complicated feeling confuses him and he cannot figure out what it is. However, the secret joy prevails and he walks to her and keeps her in his embrace“Relax. Give yourself to me.” He pats on her back in the gentlest voice.She quivers, opens the quilt, showing half her head and covers it again.Yi Yunrui blinks. This time, he will not go away!He finds her from the quilt and takes an intense look at her and leans forward with thousands of kisses.As long as she is Xia Ning, he loves her.For so many years, waiting for such a long time, he endures the desire till now and they are finally becoming one from two.He love
