Chapter 136 Gu Ruoruo
“Ning? You are finally at the phone!” Zheng Yao gives a long sigh of relief at the other end of the phone, “Well, Ning, why haven’t you ringed up for so long a ti? I called you but couldn’t get through. What happened?”
Xia Ning is surprised. Zheng Yao couldn’t get through to her?
It was impossible. She has never turned off her phone.
And, did her mother-in-law ever call her? In her mory, it is always her calling her mother-in-law.
“Well...”
As regards her mother-in-law’s question, Xia Ning can’t figure it out. As it has always been, the mother-in-law often calls Yi Yunrui and never calls her initiatively...
But from the tone of the mother-in-law, it sounds like that it really happened.
Thinking of this, no matter whether it is true or not, Xia Ning says, “Sorry, Mom. I was busy these days. I will call you more often in the future.”
Wait. She rembers now. Every ti, when she wanted to call her mother-in-law, Yi Yunrui would help her to dial the number.
Zheng Yao hears Xia Ning initiatively say sorry. Though she still feels uncomfortable, she doesn’t complain any longer, “Rui just called , saying that you are coming back to B City. Are you? When will you arrive? Can you co back to have dinner with us?”
“OK. Mom. I will take the flight at 3:00 o’clock. But after I get off the plane, I have so work to do. I may get ho at dinner ti.”
“OK. After you finish your work, co ho early. Well, will you co with anyone else?”
“Assistant Wan will go with . Mom, do you mind that?”
“What are you talking about! What do you think your mom is? Ning, it is OK to bring people with you. We can stay together to chat.”
“Hum. Then, Mom, see you tomorrow.”
Zheng Yao gives so instructions and hangs up. Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief.
She always went back with Yi Yunrui in the past. She is going alone this ti. Though she is just going to have dinner with her mother-in-law and father-in-law, when in front of the mother, Xia Ning feels a little nervous unreasonably.
She will be afraid of doing anything wrong.
Even though Zheng Yao has changed a lot in treating her.
Anyway, she will face it since she is there. Thinking of this, Xia Ning takes up the coffee and finds it cool. She looks at the cup and feels wasteful to dump it.
Xia Ning takes the coffee and walks out of her office.
“Wow!”
She has just opened the door when sothing hits on her and she staggers. Her hand carrying the coffee cup falls backward...
“Ah! Sorry. I am really sorry!”
The voice sounds very young. Xia Ning collects herself and looks at that. In front of her, a little girl is wiping her clothes with a piece of towel. She has shoulder-length black hairs. Her face is round and her eyes are big. She looks so cute that Xia Ning is stunned.
God. What a lovely girl...
“Excuse , Sister Xia. I am really sorry.” The girl is anxious, tears rolling in her eyes, “Would you like to take off your clothes for to get it dry-cleaned? Or, how much is it? I’ll pay for it.”
Xia Ning lowers her head to check her clothes which is watered terribly by the coffee. She smiles sadly, “Well, I have another suit in my wardrobe. I will get changed later. Who are you?”
The girl knows Xia Ning’s surna.
“My na is Gu Ruoruo. My brother, the Director tells to co for interview.” Saying this, Gu Ruoruo glances at Xia Ning’s clothes. She is upset, “My brother tells to learn from Sister Xia. But I make your clothes dirty. I am afraid that...” Saying this, Gu Ruoruo looks at Xia Ning with her bright eyes, “Sister Xia, it is the first ti for to et you today. Though you may have a bad impression on , please give another chance. I will make it up. I really hope that I can learn from you!”
Xia Ning is shocked, wondering why this cute little girl will show up here.
Wait. The surna of the girl is Gu. Does she have any relation with Gu Luan?
“Did Director Gu tell you to et here?”
“Hum. Brother Gu told to et you for interview.” Gu Ruoruo glances at Xia Ning’s clothes, “Sister Xia, can I still have the interview?”
Xia Ning gives a sigh, “Co on in.”
Coming back to the office, Xia Ning asks Gu Ruoruo to sit down and she goes to change a new suit of uniform. She sees that Gu Ruoruo looks at her with expectation. Xia Ning says, “May I ask you a question?”
“Hum. Yes, of course.” Gu Ruoruo nods heavily.
“What’s the relation between you and Director Gu?” Xia Ning asks frankly.
Gu Ruoruo curls her lips, “Well...Brother Gu told not to tell.” She glances at Xia Ning, “However, since Sister Xia asks, I will tell you the truth. I am Brother Gu’s younger sister.”
Younger sister?
“Biological younger sister?”
Gu Ruoruo thinks for a while, “I may say yes, and I may say no...”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is confused, “Where is your file?”
Let it be. Seemingly, it is not easy to tell the relation between Gu Ruoruo and Gu Luan.
After all, they have so kind of kin relation.
“Oh. Here!” Gu Ruoruo passes the file to Xia Ning.
Xia Ning takes it over and opens the file to read it carefully.
Gu Ruoruo, twenty-three years old, is graduated from the Journalism School of Harvard University.
And what are listed below are prizes awarded to Gu Ruoruo.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. She glances at Gu Ruoruo in surprise. This cute girl looks innocent and cute, yet she is an excellent graduate from Harvard University with so many prizes!
It is really beyond her expectation！
“Have you ever worked in the news industry?”
“I worked as a trainee in the university and so TV stations in Arica. I ca back to the country soon after graduation. This is my first job in China.”
Trainee...first job...
Xia Ning briefly learns the background of Gu Ruoruo.
Several days ago, Gu Luan said that there would be a newcor. Seemingly, he ant Gu Ruoruo.
Xia Ning closes the file of Gu Ruoruo and says seriously, “Ruoruo, do you know anything about the requirents of World Era TV Station?”
Gu Ruoruo blinks her eyes, “My brother told that. To be self-motivated, active and responsible.
“This is important, but I want to emphasize that staff working in this TV Station all have so background more or less, while the TV station never attaches importance to that. So, no matter what the relation is between you and the director, as long as you are in my departnt and supervised by , you have to put down all your background and work really hard. Are you OK with that?”
“Yes. No problems. Sister Xia can tell to do anything.”
Xia Ning shakes her head and smiles, “Don’t call Sister Xia again. In the company, you may call Xia Ning or Miss Xia.”
They are talking when Wan Liqing knocks at the door and cos in. She at once sees Gu Ruoruo, who is sitting in front of the desk.
“Ruoruo, why are you here?” Wan Liqing is surprised.
“Ah, Sister Qing.” Gu Ruoruo says and the smile on her face disappears imdiately.
Seeing this, Xia Ning is confused. She looks at Gu Ruoruo’s expression, wondering whether anything unhappy happened between Gu Ruoruo and Wan Liqing.
Oh. Wan Liqing was with Gu Luan, while Gu Ruoruo is Gu Luan’s younger sister. Gu Ruoruo must be very clear about Wan Liqing’s past.
However, Gu Ruoruo shows her like and dislike clearly on her face. It may be a little difficult for her to work in the news and weekly industry.
She is a newcor. She needs a lot of practice.
“When did you co back?” Wan Liqing walks to Gu Ruoruo and asks.
“One month ago. I planned to co here to work once I ca back. But my brother told to get used to the environnt first.”
“Hum. To get used to the environnt is necessary. After all, it is different here from abroad.” Saying this, Wan Liqing puts the files in front of Xia Ning, “Director, these are the files about Yin Jingsi’s interview tomorrow. I put them in order. You make check whether any improvents are needed.”
“Thank you.”
Xia Ning takes them over. She is going to open the files, when Gu Ruoruo asks in surprise, “Yin Jingsi? Do you an the Asian Agent of L’Oreal?”
“Yes. That is her.”
“She is very beautiful. I like her very much.” Gu Ruoruo shows her admiration, “Are we going to have an exclusive interview for her? When?”
“It is at 3:00 PM the day after tomorrow. But we are going to her company to discuss with her about the exclusive interview tomorrow afternoon.”
“Tomorrow? Can you take with you? I have liked her for a long ti.” Gu Ruoruo asks earnestly, “Sister Xia, would you please take with you? I really want to et her very much.”
Xia Ning gently smiles and teases, “Yin Jingsi is a real beauty, but Ruoruo, you are a girl. Why do you like her so much? You should like handso male stars.”
Hearing this, Gu Ruoruo blushes, “Sister Xia, don’t make fun of . Yin Jingsi is very famous in Arica. She is a goddess for all the male students on the campus. She is beautiful and talented. So, I really admire her very much! If only I could be as successful as her in the future.”
Xia Ning sees Gu Ruoruo’s admiring expression and vaguely understands sothing.
Yin Jingsi is a goddess...That is not surprising.
To be honest, it is the first ti for Xia Ning to learn that Yin Jingsi is very famous.
Compared with herself two years ago, she was really not comparable to Yin Jingsi at all.
Though she is not excellent now, she should thank Yin Jingsi. If she hadn’t been “helped” by Yin Jingsi, she wouldn’t have t Yi Yunrui and she wouldn’t have been so happy now.
Gu Ruoruo finds that Xia Ning doesn’t reply. She is anxious, “Sister Xia, what do you think? Could you take with you?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “You may wait for a mont. I have sothing to deal with. Both of you, please wait for here for a mont.”
Xia Ning goes out of her office.
Gu Ruoruo cos all of a sudden. She still has so doubts and needs to check with Gu Luan.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning takes out her phone and calls Gu Luan.
“Xia Ning, I was thinking of calling you. Has Gu Ruoruo arrived at your office?”
Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Gu Luan asks.
“Hum. Ruoruo cos. Is her the one you arrange to be my assistant?”
“Yes. Have you talked with her?”
“Hum. We talked just now.”
“How do you think about Ruoruo?” Gu Luan pauses and adds, “Xia Ning, I hope you can judge Ruoruo honestly, without getting personal feelings involved.”
