What she once said to her boss…
It just so happened that Xu Weilai had just recalled what she said to her boss the last time when she gave him an advance of one billion yuan and returned it to him. At that time, she was very grateful to her boss for his generous help, so she said —
[ Big Boss, I will always remember your great kindness towards me. If you need anything from me in the future, just say it. I won’t ever refuse! ]
So, Big Boss was referring to that?
Xu Weilai edited an email and asked meekly.
Big Boss replied firmly, [ It’s good that you still remember. Now, I need you to fulfill your promise to me. ]
Xu Weilai was a person who always kept her word. Since she said that, she would definitely do it. However, when she saw Big Boss’ words, she got a bad feeling.
Even so, she still sent an email: [ What do you need me to do? ]
Big Boss replied: [ The magazine branch had just been set up in China. It will definitely receive the suppression of other media outlets. If you want to gain a foothold and quickly establish a position for yourself, you must produce a piece of news with weight. You are the reporter who knows the situation in China the best at Z Magazine. You are most suitable for this task. So, you only need to run the last piece of news in the country and help the branch establish a firm foothold in the country. After that, I will send someone else to take over, and you can be transferred back abroad.]
She knew it!
Xu Weilai couldn’t help but scratch her hair. Her beautiful eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
She counted with her fingers. The establishment of the branch needed time, and heavyweight news wasn’t something that could be obtained just like that. If she accepted this task, then she might have to stay for a few more months.
Originally, she had thought that after she and Gu Yu received their divorce certificate tomorrow, she would go and say goodbye to her parents and friends. At most, she would stay for another week before she would be ready to book a plane ticket and leave.
However, Big Boss had saved her life, recognized her talent, and helped her in many ways. Until now, he had never taken the initiative to ask her to do anything. This was the first time, and it was something that she had agreed to. How could she refuse?
Moreover, it was just a piece of news.
After thinking about it, Xu Weilai still couldn’t say no. She sighed. She gave up.
It was just a divorce. Why did she have to act like she was running away? She just had to settle the matters in the branch before leaving.
Xu Weilai typed on the keyboard and replied: [ Okay, I accept this task.]
Big Boss: [ Qiao Chu will contact you about the matters in the branch. I believe you will do well. Thank you for your hard work. ]
Xu Weilai didn’t reply and closed her laptop.
Her hair was already dry. She got up from the sofa and laid down on the bed. She habitually laid on her side of the bed. Suddenly, she found it funny, and sat up. She grabbed the pillow and blanket on the other side of the bed and threw them on the ground.
Jerk.
Xu Weilai laid down again. She occupied the entire bed, but no matter how she slept, she felt uncomfortable. Moreover, she couldn’t fall asleep… Just now, she only had a headache, and the painkillers didn’t work. Now, she felt pain in her hands and feet. Her heart was also anguished.
After tossing and turning, she still couldn’t make herself fall asleep. She got up again, and without even putting on her slippers, she ran to the study barefoot. She ran to the wine cabinet, took out a few bottles of very expensive wine, opened them all, and grabbed a bottle to drink. She poured out the rest.
Later, she didn’t know whether it was because she was drunk or tired, but when she laid down on the sofa in the study, she fell asleep. When she regained consciousness again, it was because she was woken up by the ringtone of her phone.
