Chapter 309 Who Dares Make A Fuss?
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. She turns to Gu Luan, “Director Gu, I think I am not suitable to take part in this business trip.”
Everyone feels surprised to hear her words.
Xia Ning doesn’t need to explain. Gu Luan understands. He darkens his face, “Director Wan, mind your words! We are here for business. Why do you attack our team members?”
Wan Liqing feels stuck. She curls her lips, “Is this telling on or threatening…”
“Shut up!” For the first time, Gu Luan feels Wan Liqing extremely annoying, “If you go on quarreling, you don’t need to come back to work tomorrow.”
Gu Luan finishes his speech. He doesn’t even glance at Wan Liqing, but walks directly to the car.
Wan Liqing is shocked blankly. Gu Luan told her…
Xia Ning follows Gu Luan. Wan Liqing is always attacking her. She feels annoyed. If she had not promised to come, she would have left already.
If the whole trip is going to continue like this, she is afraid that she may go home halfway.
She doesn’t care whether Gu Luan will fire or downgrade her for that!
“Director Wan.” Leng Weiwei walks to Wan Liqing. She says indifferently, “Do you think you are getting more and more improperly considerate?”
Wan Liqing is just going to respond when Leng Weiwei sneers and turns to leave.
When everybody gets in the car, Gu Luan waves his hand at the driver and the car goes away.
It is silent in the car. Wan Liqing still feels angry. She pouts. Xia Ning looks blankly motionless. Leng Weiwei takes out a small mirror to fix her make-up and “fully concentrates” on herself.
Surprisingly, the car stops in a big shopping mall!
Gu Luan gets off the car and leads them to enter the mall. The others are confused. In the center of the hall, Gu Luan snaps his fingers, “Everybody, listen to me. I have just checked with the two stars that the interviews will be scheduled for tomorrow. So, today,” Gu Luan hesitates, “we will have fun here. You may play, shop or chat. All expenses that occur in eating or shopping will be paid by me!”
Leng Weiwei brightens her eyes, “I may announce in advance. Director Gu, I like high-class goods. I don’t buy cheap things. Are you sure you have got enough money in your deposit card?”
Gu Luan smiles. He waves his hand. A Centurion Card appears in his hand, “Weiwei, do you think it enough?”
“Bingo! OK!” Leng Weiwei holds out her hand to take Gu Luan’s card, “Amazing. Let me have a look!”
The first stop is the amusement arcade. Actually, it is only Gu Luan’s personal decision. For the benefits of their own, everybody has to follow him temporarily.
“Well. I know what you beauties want. Go freely. I will wait for you in Starbucks on the third floor.”
After playing games for a while, Gu Luan says considerately.
Leng Weiwei cheers first. She takes Gu Luan’s Centurion Card and runs away soon.
“Luan, I am a stranger here. I don’t know what is interesting here. Can you take me with you?” Wan Liqing asks shily.
“Wow! That one is exciting.” Xia Ning suddenly cries before Gu Luan responds. After Wan Liqing and Gu Luan get shocked, Xia Ning runs out of their eyesight quickly.
In order to avoid being taken as an excuse by Gu Luan to refuse Wan Liqing, Xia Ning thinks she’d better get away from them.
Xia Ning hides somewhere and finally gives a sign of relief when she sees Gu Luan and Wan Liqing leave together.
She sits in a chair in front of a game machine and feels very bored.
She finds that even the most interesting thing can’t interest her when Yi Yunrui is not around.
At that moment, her phone rings.
It is from Yi Yunrui!
Xia Ning feels glad. She presses the answer button, “An hour passed? Time goes fast…”
“Why is it so noisy over there? Where are you?”
“Oh. Sorry.” Xia Ning says. She walks out of the amusement arcade, “I was playing games. The exclusive interviews will be tomorrow. Director Gu takes us here for free activities.”
“Where are you now?”
Xia Ning glances at the name of the mall, “It is called…Times Square! I am in the amusement arcade on the fourth floor of Times Square. They all go for their activities. I am still thinking about what I want to play.”
“You may go to buy whatever you like and eat whatever you like. But, be careful. Don’t make your stomach suffer.”
Xia Ning feels her heart softened, “Yeah. I know.”
The problem is that she isn’t interested in anything without Yi Yunrui here.
Xia Ning still wants to say something when she hears Zhang Hai’s voice from the phone, “Commander, which way should we take?”
“Ning, I am busy here. I may hang up. We will talk later.”
Then, before Xia Ning responds, Yi Yunrui hangs up first.
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. It is the first time for Yi Yunrui to take the initiative to hang up when talking with her on the phone.
She feels a little upset…Anyway, maybe Rui has got something urgent. She has to understand.
After that, Xia Ning reluctantly walks around the mall. Unconsciously, she walks to Starbucks.
Gu Luan said just now that he would wait for them in this coffee shop.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning looks through the window and she glimpses Gu Luan drinking coffee alone.
Xia Ning feels confused. Didn’t he stay with Wan Liqing just now?
“Oh. You are here, too.”
Leng Weiwei’s voice is heard. Xia Ning turns around to look. She is shocked.
Isn’t it just a while? Leng Weiwei has bought a lot of things. A safeguard even helps her carry the things behind her.
Xia Ning glances at the logo of the packing bags. Seemingly, Gu Luan is going to spend a lot of money today.
“Why are you empty-handed? Didn’t Director Gu say that he would pay all the expenses for our playing, eating and shopping today? Xia Ning, you are wasting the resource!”
Xia Ning smiles, “I don’t know what to buy.”
Leng Weiwei lifts her eyebrows. She says meaningfully, “Your husband is not here. You just can’t feel interested in anything. Right?”
Xia Ning feels a little shy when Leng Weiwei tells the truth. She nods, “It may be part of the reason.”
Leng Weiwei smiles to shake her head, “You and Commander Yi are so intimate. I can’t learn that. I am afraid I can never learn that, even in over ten years. Well, anyway. If you don’t want to buy things, you may go inside to stay with Director Gu. He is alone there and looks quite bored and lonely.”
Leng Weiwei winks at the safeguard behind her and points inside. The safeguard understands. He follows them and goes into the coffee shop.
Gu Luan looks at the things Leng Weiwei has bought. He widens his eyes and then smiles to shake his head.
The hardest thing for women to control is their desire to buy things.
“Why are you empty-handed?” Gu Luan asks Xia Ning.
“I don’t want to buy anything at present.”
Gu Luan hesitates. He notices Xia Ning’s expressions and doesn’t ask further. He waves at the waiter, “Please send us two cups of cappuccino and leave the menu here.”
“OK.”
Leng Weiwei orders a piece of cake. Xia Ning orders a salad. Soon, the waiter serves the food.
“You are really here!”
Wan Liqing’s voice comes before she arrives. They lift their heads and see Wan Liqing coming happily.
It is surprising. What happens to her? The jealousy girl looks very happy.
“I am really lucky today to meet someone here. Let me introduce to you. This is President Lei Buyang of Lei’s Group!”
Wan Liqing points at the man walking toward them behind her. He is imposing and handsome.
Xia Ning fails to control herself and she spurts the coffee she just drunk.
Wan Liqing darkens her face once she saw this!
How embarrassing!
“Ha, ha!”
Unexpectedly, Lei Buyang bursts into laughter. He says, “Ning, I knew you must be here! Ha, ha. Don’t you think it is destined?”
Hearing this, Wan Liqing’s smile is frozen. She reluctantly smiles, “Pre…President Lei, you know Director Xia?”
“Of course.” Lei Buyang comes to sit down himself, “We are old acquaintances.”
Everyone turns to look at Xia Ning.
Xia Ning takes a tissue to wipe her mouth. She holds out her hand at Lei Buyang, “President Lei, nice to see you again.”
Lei Buyang waves his hand, “We are close friends. Do you need to act so politely? Ning, you may introduce the beauty here to me.”
“Ugh!” Xia Ning makes a cough. She deliberately points to Gu Luan, “This is Gu Luan, Director of World Era Weekly.”
Lei Buyang lifts his eyebrows, “Director Gu, you are so lucky. Do you enjoy being surrounded by all the beauties but having no relationships with them? That is not generous.”
Gu Luan smiles, “President Lei is kidding. We are the same.”
Lei Buyang sticks his finger at Gu Luan, “Director Gu. That’s not kind. I am not like you…”
“President Lei, excuse me. Where are the two girls? Why don’t they come together?” Wan Liqing asks.
She met Lei Buyang in a high-class brand store when he was busy buying things for two hot girls he was hugging. Wan Liqing wanted to catch the chance to know this president.
At the beginning, Lei Buyang was absent-minded. However, when she said that she worked in World Era Weekly, Lei Buyang made an obvious change in his attitude!
Now, she understands that Lei Buyang’s attitude changed because of Xia Ning instead of her!
She realizes that she has acted like a clown and feels badly humiliated!
Why are there so many men fond of Xia Ning?
Lei Buyang feels embarrassed. He makes two coughs, “Well. Ugh. They just went by. They are my acquaintances. Ha. Ha.”
“Oh, acquaintances. Just now, President Lei said Director Xia was also your acquaintance… Oh. I see. I see.”
Wan Liqing smiles evilly.
Lei Buyang’s eyes gleam in surprise. He wonders why the woman suddenly changes her tone. Did he offend her?
Leng Weiwei is aware of the uneasiness. She says immediately, “Mr. Lei, my surname is Leng. Nice to meet you.”
Lei Buyang briefly greets Leng Weiwei. He still keeps his eyes at Xia Ning, “Ning, where’s your commander husband? Is he not here? Ha. Ha. It is convenient for me! Ning, where do you want to go for fun this evening? I can take you to…”
Xia Ning feels her eyelid jump. She is just going to respond when a deep and magnetic voice is heard, “Tonight, Ning is going to stay with me. She is not going anywhere.”
