Chapter 351 The Hidden Mysterious Person
There is another piece of news saying that a weekly published a false report and will stop its business for internal rectification!
Xia Ning reads it carefully. The news mentions that a reporter of the weekly accepted a bribe from Du Bei and made up the false report. He violated the professional morality and was sent to the police office.
The mentioned weekly…is the one which put the photos of Xia Ning and Su Shen on the headline!
G.o.d. The whole weekly is out of business. Lei Buyang is really powerful.
Xia Ning takes out her phone and dials Lei Buyang’s number, “Buyang, I have read the news. Thank you.”
“Oh. You don’t need to be so polite. You know the relation between us.” Lei Buyang smiles naughtily at the other end.
Xia Ning twitches her lips, “If President Lei doesn’t mind, you and I will always be good friends. Buyang, actually, I want to verify one issue with you. The weekly is told to stop its business. Do you have anything to do with that?”
Lei Buyang slightly hesitates, “Ning, I have ‘nothing’ to do with all these things. You know it.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. As to work, it is undeniable that Lei Buyang is very careful. He doesn’t leave any traces at all.”
“OK. I see. Thank you.”
“Ning.” Li Buyang is aware that Xia Ning is going to hang up. He says at once, “If you are free, will you come out for a dinner?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Well. At what time?”
Not expecting that Xia Ning will respond so soon, Lei Buyang hesitates.
He was expecting that Xia Ning would refuse him.
“Well…Let me check my agenda. I will tell you later. Anyway, you can’t change your mind!”
Xia Ning laughs, “I see. Then, we may meet some days later.”
“You are a nice girl. I am busy here. I will call you later.” Then, Lei Buyang hangs up.
His smile disappears at the moment of hanging up the phone.
He looks at the newspaper on the table when his eyes gleam sharply.
Except for him, there is someone else dealing with the case.
The person is hidden deeply. As to the rectification, Lei Buyang knows nothing about it!
The case is handled in a good way which is controlled effectively. The person did it even more perfectly than Lei Buyang.
Thinking about this, Lei Buyang slightly lifts his lips and puts on a meaningful smile.
Has he… come back?
If he really comes back and takes action, the game will begin soon.
Yi Yunrui, let’s see who is better this time.
There is a knock at the door. Xia Ning says, “Come in.” The door is opened and three women come in.
They are Gu Ruoruo, Li Baoer and Su Xueli.
“Ning, the evil people are punished. Ha, ha. I am really happy to read it!” Li Baoer has a loose mouth. She cries once coming in.
Gu Ruoruo puts down the coffee on Xia Ning’s desk, “We finally get the anger out. When I read the report at that time, I said that Sister Xia wasn’t that kind of person. It must be some bad people’s trick. I will go to check with those who gossiped behind.”
In the past, she misunderstood Xia Ning and also realized that some people would say a thing while doing another. She has been worked with Xia Ning for a long time and she is very clear what kind of person Xia Ning is. She believes in Xia Ning.
Because she knows that Xia Ning loves her commander husband very much!
“What’s wrong with you? You look even more worried than me.” Xia Ning smiles.
“How could we not worry? You were openly bullied! Ning, I suggest you change your patient personality. Or, one day, we may die of being worried about you.” Li Baoer glances at the coffee on Xia Ning’s desk. She turns to Gu Ruoruo, “Ruoruo, can you make a cup of coffee for me, too? I also want to enjoy the privilege.”
“OK. I will make a pot of it for you. In a minute.” Saying this, Gu Ruoruo goes out.
Xia Ning takes a sip of the coffee. She finds Su Xueli standing there silently. She feels surprised, “Xueli, do you have any problems?”
“Yes.” Su Xueli pa.s.ses a file to Xia Ning, “Director, a distinguished guest called today, saying that she wants to meet you. This is the information of that guest. Director, she is still waiting for a response.”
A distinguished guest wants to meet her?
Xia Ning takes over the file and opens it. The words Zhou Mengyao pop up to her eyes at once.
It is the middle-aged woman who visited her the other night.
Zhou Mengyao, female, sixty years old, is the president of Junhao International Group.
Xia Ning’s eyes brighten. Junhao International Group…The name looks very familiar!
Right. Junhao International Group’s main business is clothing. It has many international brands under its name. Wu Ying, the designer of the cheongsam that Su Shen gave her the other evening is from Junhao International Group!
In Asia, Junhao International Group is very famous. G.o.d. She feels surprised that Zhou Mengyao is the president of Junhao International Group!
What surprises her even more is that Zhou Mengyao looks like in her thirties, while she actually is sixty years old! She is a real born beauty.
“Xueli, what are the appointments for today?”
Su Xueli thinks for a while and responds, “There will be an important exclusive interview in the evening. But someone is arranged to take care of it. There is no other important arrangement for today.”
Xia Ning nods, “I will call President Zhou later myself.”
“OK.” Su Xueli responds. She hesitates as if she wants to say something else.
At the time, Gu Ruoruo has got the coffee ready. She brings it in for Li Baoer, “Sister Baoer, it is hot. Drink it slowly.”
Xia Ning is aware of Su Xueli’s expression. She asks, “Xueli, anything else?”
Su Xueli moves her lips but doesn’t speak anything. She shakes her head and responds, “No. I shall go out to work.”
Then, Su Xueli turns around to walk out.
Xia Ning slightly frowns. Xueli doesn’t look easy. Can there be anything happening?
“Ruoruo, does Xueli have any problems at work?”
“Nothing serious. I will keep an eye on her. Sister Xia, why do you ask?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Never mind. It is OK.”
“But I think this girl is a little strange.” Li Baoer puts down the coffee, “When I look at her, she always looks lost in meditation. Sometimes, I called her, she would be shocked. She is absent-minded.”
Hearing Li Baoer’s words, Gu Ruoruo seems to remember something. She says, “I remember now. I saw a photo of Su Shen on Xueli’s desk the other day. Xueli seemed to be worried and put it aside.”
“Can that girl have a crush on President Su?” Li Baoer widens her eyes, “Su Shen is the president of TC Group. And his wife just pa.s.sed away two years ago. Seemingly, Su Shen is very concerned about that. It seems that Xueli has a crush on him at this time. That is a tough job.”
Xia Ning hesitates for quite a while, “Ruoruo, keep an eye on Xueli. Remind her to concentrate on work. Anyway, don’t speak hard on her. Do it as casual reminding.”
Which girl doesn’t have the fancy about love? If Xueli likes Su Shen, Xia Ning can create some chances for her. But the problem is that Su Shen may not notice Xueli. Instead of having unrealistic imagination, she’d better improve herself first.
“OK. I see. Sister Xia, don’t worry.”
They chat for another while. Li Baoer and Gu Ruoruo go back to work. Xia Ning takes out her phone and dials Zhou Mengyao’s number.
Zhou Mengyao directly called to the Media Building. She was obviously telling people the relation between her and Xia Ning. It is not surprising that Zhou Mengyao said they would meet later the other day.
The phone gets through soon. Xia Ning greets, “Is that President Zhou? This is Xia Ning speaking.”
“Ning, you don’t need to be so polite. Call me Aunt Zhou.”
Zhou Mengyao’s voice sounds as gentle and sweet as it was. Xia Ning feels comfortable to hear it, “OK. Aunt Zhou, you called me. What’s the matter?”
“Oh. Ning, do you have time this afternoon?” She hesitates, “I have just come back to the country and have few friends. I am alone at home with no one to talk with. If you are free, will you come out for a cup of coffee with me?”
“I am free in the afternoon. Which coffee shop do you like?”
Zhou Mengyao thinks for a while, “I have a friend who runs a coffee shop in C City. The coffee there tastes nice. Can I go to pick you up at three from your company?”
“Aunt Zhou, you don’t need to come. You may tell me the address. I will go there…”
“I will go to pick you up. Anyway, I have plenty of time. Ning, don’t refuse. I need to deal with some things now. It is settled. I will go to pick you up at three.”
Then, Zhou Mengyao hangs up the phone.
Xia Ning feels confused. She has the feeling that Zhou Mengyao was afraid that she would disagree. So, she hung up at once.
Since she has made the appointment to drink coffee at three, Xia Ning casually eats some food for lunch and finishes the work at hand. When she is having lunch, she remembers that her mother-in-law told her to prepare ten dishes and a soup for supper. She may be able to catch the time to buy the food after drinking coffee with Aunt Zhou.
Soon, it is at three o’clock. Xia Ning goes downstairs. She sees a red Ferrari car parking by the Media Building from far away.
She remembers that this model hasn’t been put on the market! It is shockingly red, while the streamlined body shows its power and quality! It tells the ident.i.ty of its owner.
Wait!
Can it be Aunt Zhou’s car?
This model is the favorite of young people, while Aunt Zhou is already sixty years old…
Xia Ning is thinking about this when the door of the car is opened upwards. Zhou Mengyao sits inside, waving her hand at Xia Ning, “Ning, come here!”
Xia Ning feels shocked blankly!
Last time, when she met Zhou Mengyao, Zhou Mengyao wore the white patient clothes and looked weak. She looked like in her thirties. Now, Zhou Mengyao wears a white suit. Her hair is black and she wears fine make-up. The whole dressing of her is a combination of neutrality and femininity. It is surprisingly attractive!
Wow…she looks at most in her twenties!
The image of Tang Qieying suddenly pops up in Xia Ning’s brain. Seemingly, Zhou Mengyao and Tang Qieying both belong to the same type. They never look old!
G.o.d. Xia Ning envies them. They grow younger and younger. That is not a natural course…
Zhou Mengyao is aware that Xia Ning stares at her blankly. She puts on a brighter smile, “You Silly Kid. Come on in. I am your Aunt Zhou!”
Xia Ning collects herself and nods. She gets in the car. She checks over Zhou Mengyao from head to heel many times and finally she admires, “Aunt Zhou, I think it will be more appropriate for me to call you Sister Mengyao.”
