Chapter 319 The Situation Changes
She misses Yi Yunrui, very much.
He has just left for a few days, but she misses him every minute.
It will last for a month. How can she wait so long?
She doesn’t know how Yi Yunrui is treated in Beijing. However, she is pretty sure that it must be tough for him!
She feels severe heart-ache.
He is a commander of a military region, a hero of the nation. He is as honorable as a G.o.d, but he gets in trouble because of her. It happens to him, while she can do nothing!
She is useless!
She looks at Yi Yuntian sincerely and sadly. Yi Yuntian doesn’t speak for quite a while. Then, he responds, “The nation has its laws just like a family has its rules. If you go to Beijing, it can’t but bring disadvantages to Rui. Ning, you must be patient for now, or you may cause some disturbance to Rui.”
Xia Ning feels her heart stuck!
“As to what happens to Rui, I will take care of it. You don’t need to worry about the pressure from my parents. Gu Luan is seriously injured. I believed he can’t go back to World Era Weekly in some time. During the time, you will be very busy. Anyway, it is good for you to be busy, so that, you don’t need to think about Rui too much.”
Xia Ning feels helpless. She takes a deep breath. She bites her lips, “Brother, I see. I will follow your arrangement.”
Yi Yuntian still wants to say something. He slightly lifts his eyes and turns around to light a cigarette.
“Director Xia, you look very healthy.”
A sharp voice is heard. Xia Ning feels shocked. Wan Liqing comes to them.
At the moment, Xia Ning is not in the mood to argue with Wan Liqing. She asks, “Director Wan, how is Director Gu?”
If she didn’t mention Gu Luan, it might be better. Wan Liqing hears the name of Gu Luan. She stares at Xia Ning, “If you hadn’t looked unhappy, Luan wouldn’t have taken us to another place hurriedly and we wouldn’t have been attacked! Xia Ning, you are an evil woman. You are a jinx!”
Evil woman…jinx…
The words undoubtedly add additional pain to Xia Ning’s wound. Her eyes turn red. She sniffs, “Yes. Director Gu is injured. I am responsible for that. I am sorry.”
“Responsible?” Wan Liqing raises her voice, “You want to take the responsibility? Don’t you have enough men yet?”
Xia Ning frowns, “Director Wan, please mind your words.”
“I am telling the truth! They all like you, but you pretend to be innocent. That is disgusting! Xia Ning, you are really good at this. I can’t be comparable to you. I warn you. If you don’t stop, I will make you regret!”
“Director Wan, I only do what is supposed to be done by me. I don’t understand what you are talking about!”
“In front of me, you can save your pattern! You are too good at faking kindness! Fine, even what you say is true, if you are innocent, why do you still stay in World Era Weekly? Doesn’t your husband love you very much? What can’t he give you? Why are you still unsatisfied? Or…is he unable as a man…”
“Shut up!” It’s fine for Wan Liqing to talk nonsense about whomever, but not Yi Yunrui. Xia Ning doesn’t allow anyone to make bad comments on him. She says, “Don’t talk about other things. Director Wan, please mind your words! We are in the hospital. If you still make noise here, you may go out!”
Not expecting that Xia Ning suddenly changes her tone, Wan Liqing slightly hesitates. She glances at Yi Yuntian not far away from them. She lifts her lips to make an evil smile.
Yi Yunrui’s oldest brother is here. That is good. He will know what a shameless woman Xia Ning is.
Thinking about this, Wan Liqing says word by word, “Why should I go out? You know what you have done. Gu Luan, Lei Buyang, An Zeyou, Davis, ha, ha, excellent men come one by one. Xia Ning, when will you feel satisfied? You cuckold Yi Yunrui again and again…”
A sharp slap is heard.
Wan Liqing has not finished her words when Xia Ning flies into a rage. She lifts her hand and forcefully gives Wan Liqing a slap.
It hurts. Wan Liqing strokes her swollen left face. She is shocked blankly. Then, she also gets furious, “How dare you slap me? Xia Ning, you are dead!”
Then, Wan Liqing holds out her hands towards Xia Ning.
Suddenly, Yi Yuntian has come to Xia Ning and stands behind her. He holds out his big hand to grab Wan Liqing’s hand.
He seems to casually stop her. However, it is so forceful that Wan Liqing fails to get away from the grasp. Her face turns red.
“Let me go! What do you want to do? Let go, or, I will yell.”
“Among all the women I know, you are the most stupid one.” Yi Yuntian slowly says, “I, Yi Yuntian, like women most. I am most considerate of women, except those without self-awareness. Miss Wan, if you dare to touch my sister-in-law again, you will not see the sun of tomorrow!”
Yi Yuntian doesn’t speak in a loud voice. However, he sounds overwhelmingly powerful and makes Wan Liqing unconsciously frightened. Wan Liqing feels her whole body get cold. She realizes that Yi Yuntian, the so-called Death Destiny of the world, is not joking.
She takes a cold breath. She trembles her voice to respond, “Fine…An honest woman doesn’t fight against men! A decent person…doesn’t use his hand to speak. President Yi, please pay some respect.”
Yi Yuntian lifts his eyebrows. He smiles to let go of her hand.
Wan Liqing rubs her hand which is painful. She grits her teeth and stares at Xia Ning, “Xia Ning, don’t be arrogant about this! You know what you have done. Don’t think there will always be some people protecting you! Hum!”
Wan Liqing turns to leave.
“Wan Liqing.”
She has just taken a few steps when Xia Ning calls her behind. Wan Liqing pauses.
“I know you love Gu Luan. I also know that you have been trying hard. I want to tell you clearly now that I only love my husband, Yi Yunrui, the only man. You should rely on yourself to get your happiness. If you fail to get it, don’t complain other people about that! Instead, you’d better think about what’s wrong with yourself.”
Wan Liqing feels shocked. Then, she sneers, “I am clear about what I am doing. I don’t need your lectures!”
Xia Ning looks at Wan Liqing’s back and gives a sigh in her heart.
Wan Liqing has lost her sense of reason.
“Brother.” Xia Ning turns to Yi Yuntian, “I have been creating trouble to you all the time. I am sorry. What Wan Liqing just said was right. I need to make self-criticism for many things.”
Yi Yuntian slightly flicks the cigarette in his hand and it flies correctly into the rubbish bin not far away. He responds, “If you make self-criticism, you are not the woman Rui loves.”
Compared with Leng Weiwei who is tricky, Xia Ning is honest and lovely.
In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Luan wakes up. On the same day, they directly fly back to C City.
Gu Luan is seriously injured and has to stay in the hospital for some time. World Era Weekly will temporarily be in the charge of Chief Editor Leng Weiwei.
Three days later, Leng Weiwei holds an all-staff meeting and issues new tasks for every one of all positions.
Surprisingly, when they are having the meeting, the headquarters in America calls to temporarily nominate Xia Ning as the a.s.sistant to the Director of the Weekly.
That means Xia Ning is only half a grade lower than Leng Weiwei in position.
It is well-known that Lu Luan attaches most attention to Xia Ning. Based on this, among the seven directors, Xia Ning is undoubtedly the most important one. Now, the headquarters makes the nomination. Xia Ning seems to catch up with Leng Weiwei’s position in World Era Weekly in C City.
As the saying goes, one mountain is not for two tigers to stay. Many people are expecting to see the battles between Leng Weiwei and Xia Ning.
The one who feels most uncomfortable is Wan Liqing. As to experience, no one here is comparable to her. Normally speaking, when Gu Luan is absent, she is also one of the big shots in the company. However, when Gu Luan arranged the work in the hospital, he didn’t mention her at all. So, Wan Liqing becomes someone who has lost the favor in other people’s eyes.
People in the company all apply the cold treatment towards her. They try to avoid bothering her and having any connection with her. As a result, Wan Liqing is almost isolated alone.
Wan Liqing feels angry. It is not because of the change in her position in the Weekly. Instead, it is because that it becomes more difficult for her to pull Xia Ning down.
She had made the countermeasures. However, Leng Weiwei shows a look just like a piece of cold ice of thousands of years old. Wan Liqing can find no clue from her expressions about how she feels about the arrangement of the company. Wan Liqing can’t but wait for now.
She really can’t understand. Xia Ning has got all the favors. Why does she still interfere in the relation between Gu Luan and Wan Liqing?
Wan Liqing hates Xia Ning. She has the desire to tear Xia Ning into pieces!
Someone knocks at the door. Xia Ning says, “Come in.”
She is surprised to see Leng Weiwei come in.
“Oh, Chief Editor Leng, you should tell me to meet you in your office. You don’t need to come here in person.” Xia Ning feels a little shy.
“There are not these annoying rules between you and me.” Leng Weiwei puts a pile of files in front of Xia Ning, “I have thought for some time and I think you are the most suitable person for this task.”
Xia Ning takes up the file and reads carefully.
Xia Ning feels shocked when she reads the name Tang Qieying.
In China, Tang Qieying is a very excellent national artist! The name is known to everyone in China!
She has won countless prizes. She is a National First-cla.s.s Actor, the Permanent Chairman of the Chinese Musicians’ a.s.sociation, Regimental Commander of Chinese Army Literary and Art Work Troupe, Deputy to National People’s Congress, member of the China People’s Political Consultative Conference Committee etc. Any of the prizes she gets is a lifetime target of normal people. She gets all the prizes. It is imaginable who she is in normal people’s opinions.
She is a world-famous person who is not to be exceeded or replaced!
When Xia Ning was young, Tang Qieying was her idol. The artist, who is at her fifties, looks as young as a girl of eighteen years old. Many women envy her.
“Weiwei, do you tell me to interview her?” Xia Ning asks tentatively.
Leng Weiwei nods, “Yes. I think among all people in World Era Weekly. Only you can finish this mission.”
Xia Ning frowns. She hesitates for quite a while, “The task is very important. I feel it quite a pressure for me.”
Leng Weiwei slightly lifts her lips. Rarely, she smiles, “It is OK. You can do it. I believe in the company’s decision. Xia Ning, you may take it easy.”
Xia Ning curls her lips, “How long will the trip take?”
“You have one month to finish it.” Leng Weiwei pauses and says, “Well. I get the information that Tang Qieying will be in Beijing this month. You have got plenty of time for the interview. You can get prepared before you go.”
