Chapter 215 It Has to Be You
Xia Ning glances at Yi Yunrui, who is making the coffee. She thinks for a while, “OK. I will go back tomorrow to take back my job.”
“OK. Ah. You finally agree to come back. See you tomorrow.”
Gu Luan finishes his words and hangs up.
Xia Ning puts down the phone. She walks to Yi Yunrui and embraces him from behind, “Darling…I just promised Director Gu that I am going back to work tomorrow.”
Yi Yunrui stops working. His eyes gleam. Then, he helplessly pats on Xia Ning’s hand, “I was thinking that you might stay with me for some other days and have a good rest. Anyway, since you have made the decision, you may go to work tomorrow. But remember, don’t be too tired. If you want to eat something while I can’t answer my phone, you may text me.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Darling, I am just going to work, not to do other things. You don’t need to worry.”
Yi Yunrui turns around and slightly pinches her face, “It is natural for a husband to worry about his wife. And, if Gu Luan dares do anything crossing the line, I will have my ways on him.”
Xia Ning touches him, “What you are worried about is this. I am afraid that Director Gu gets the time bomb back to him.”
“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui laughs happily, “My wife is too charming. The bees keep coming one by one. I have to get prepared for that.”
“Don’t the flowers show up around you one by one too? You don’t feel embarrassed to say it!”
Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows, “Oh. You got me! Well, I will have a hearted self-criticism. Sweetheart, do I need to send you a report?”
“No need.” Xia Ning reaches to fix his clothes, “When I was away, I came to understand something. For couples, besides honesty, trust and understanding are also very important. We have a long way to go. We have to learn to understand and be considerate of each other. Darling, do you agree?”
Yi Yunrui looks at her tenderly. He draws her head into his chest, “In the rest time of our life, it is all right to let me pamper you. I don’t ask for anything else as long as you will stay with me forever.”
Xia Ning closes her eyes comfortably and nods, “I will.”
The next morning, Yi Yunrui prepares a rich breakfast and a small box of sorted candies. Xia Ning goes to the dining room and sees the foods there. She doubts that it is celebrating an important festival.
After Xia Ning has her breakfast leisurely, Yi Yunrui drives her to her office. Then, he passes a piece of notepaper to Xia Ning.
The notepaper tells the agenda of Yi Yunrui for the day. It also remarks that he will have another two days break.
Xia Ning smiles and puts it aside. She turns and goes back to the Weekly.
All the people in the building are surprised to see Xia Ning come back. They whisper secretly.
“Wow, Sister Xia, you finally come back!”
Xia Ning hears a surprised cry. She pauses and sees Gu Ruoruo run to her from not far away with a bunch of files in her hands.
Xia Ning hurriedly helps her carry some, “I was absent for some time. You must be tired.”
“Ah. Sister Xia, you are right. I was exhausted. I had to work overtime every day. I realized how happy it had been to have Sister Xia here!”
Xia Ning smiles. She helps Gu Ruoruo put the files on her desk, “I will go to meet Director Gu first. You may put the recent work in order and give me a report later.”
“Hum. I see. Sister Xia, you may go to meet the Director now. He is also almost exhausted.”
Xia Ning nods. She turns to walk to the Director’s Office.
Gu Luan sees Xia Ning come back. He is blank for some seconds. Then, he gives a long sigh of relief and collapses onto the armchair, “Director Xia, you, the savior, are back. Come here. If you don’t mind, please make some coffee for your supervisor first.”
“OK.” Xia Ning turns to close the door and walks to the counter.
Xia Ning glances at the files piled up on Gu Luan’s desk and says, “Director is really busy.”
Gu Luan takes a file and waves it in front of Xia Ning, “These are all from the entertainment department. Well, I would like to report to you. I fired some people in the entertainment department who make excuses to get away from their duties. Director Xia, I hope you don’t mind.”
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows, “Director must have his reasons to do so. However, since we are short in manpower, I am going to hire some people soon.”
“Hum. You will get my support in the hiring. It is strange that during the days you were absent the stars and big shots seem suddenly changed. If I don’t take care of them myself, we simply can’t get rid of them. Ah. It was a headache.”
Xia Ning pauses. Suddenly, she remembers the story between Yi Yunrui and Agent Huang. She realizes that Yi Yunrui must have secretly helped her a lot.
At the time, the coffee is ready. Xia Ning brings the coffee and puts a cup of it in front of Gu Luan, “This is cappuccino. It is a little sweet. Oh. Director, have you had breakfast?”
Gu Luan nods, “I had a sandwich. Thank you.”
Gu Luan drinks the coffee. He puts a file in front of Xia Ning, “You can check here. The work report for these days.”
Xia Ning is surprised! The great Director reports his job to his subordinate!”
Xia Ning opens the report. The words are clear. In a glimpse, she can read them clearly. Xia Ning reads the report carefully and closes it. She says, “Hum. I see. I will check and arrange my work soon. Director, don’t worry.”
“You are back. I won’t worry anymore!” Gu Luan says decisively, “Well, as to the selection of excellent employee…”
“Director, I was absent for some time. I understand.”
Gu Luan slightly pauses, “Ugh. I mean the excellent employee has to be you. I have sent your name to the company. There will be a commendation meeting in a few days. You have to prepare your report on work.”
Xia Ning is shocked, “But I was…”
Gu Luan waves his hand, “You were absent for some days and it strengthened my decision. There are headaches in your department. You are the only person who can handle them perfectly. You are the undoubted excellent employee.”
They are talking when there is someone knocking at the door. Gu Luan glances at the camera. Leng Weiwei and Wan Liqing are outside. He presses the answer button and says, “Come in.”
Leng Weiwei and Wan Liqing come in. They see Xia Ning at once.
“Editor Leng, Director Wan, please take your seats.”
Leng Weiwei and Wan Liqing sit down. Leng Weiwei looks at Xia Ning, “You come back. It is good. You can help the Director reduce some of the burden.”
Xia Ning smiles and nods, “Hum. I brought more burden to Director Gu.”
Wan Liqing glances at the coffee on the desk. She feels her heart stuck, “Director Xia, it seems that Director Gu is really fond of the coffee you made. He made the coffee himself in the past days when you were away.”
