Chapter 407 I Want to Exploit You.
Xia Ning knew that Yi Yunrui would need to leave for Beijing. But she didn’t know that it would happen so soon and so suddenly.
Last evening, Yi Yunrui was almost drunk. After getting ho, they had sex crazily. When she woke up, Yi Yunrui had left.
Looking at the empty pillow beside her, Xia Ning feels her whole body floating as if her soul has gone with Yi Yunrui to Beijing.
Xia Ning holds her knees and looks at the empty house blankly till she hears her phone ringing.
Xia Ning doesn’t hear it until it rings for quite a while. When she sees the na shown on the screen, she widens her eyes!
It is her mother-in-law, Zheng Yao.
Xia Ning feels an ominous feeling popping up in her brain.
Yi Yunrui has just left while her mother-in-law calls her at this ti...Can it be a coincidence?
Xia Ning feels a little nervous when she presses the answer button. She hears Zheng Yao ask in a cold voice at the other end of the phone, “You have just got up?”
Xia Ning glances at the clock beside the bed. It is half past eleven.
Today is Saturday. She doesn’t need to go to work. So, she and Yi Yunrui had a great fun last night. It is unnecessary for her to get up early.
“Hum.” Xia Ning responds honestly.
“Do you an that your husband didn’t have any al before he left for Beijing?”
Hearing this, Xia Xing feels sad. She even didn’t see Yi Yunrui pack any luggage.
“Yesterday was Baoer’s wedding day and we stayed late...I don’t know whether Rui had any food when he left. Mom, I am sorry.” It is useless for her to explain to her mother-in-law. Xia Ning knows that clearly. She can’t but admit frankly.
She doesn’t want to quarrel with her mother-in-law.
“Hum. You are really a great daughter-in-law...” Zheng Yao laughs dismissively, “I heard that you got along quite well with the bitch Zhou ngyao. Do you?”
Xia Ning feels her heart tightened, “I signed a contract with Aunt Zhou. She is a nice person...”
“That tricky woman is ruining the peace in our family and you say she is a nice person!” Zheng Yao cries at the other end, “Xia Ning, in the past, I thought you were just a little lazy and stupid. But I am surprised that you are an evil woman! You combine with other people to dismantle your family! You think she is nice. So, you an I am not nice? You have got the guts!”
Xia Ning frowns. She feels a little furious inside her heart, “Mom, I know you and dad knew Aunt Zhou in the past. I am just a junior and doesn’t know anything happened in the past. However, it was not a matter of combination between Aunt Zhou and . We only cooperate on business. Mom, no matter how you think, I have never thought of playing tricks on you, because I am also a mber of the Yi family! Mom, if you make this call to bla for that. You may go ahead. I may just keep silent.”
After all, Zheng Yao is her mother-in-law and her senior. Even if Zheng Yao says sothing wrong, Xia Ning can’t yell at her senior.
Zheng Yao is silent for a while. She says, “I wonder why I didn’t notice that you were such a tricky woman. Now, I want to ask you a question. Do you want to go on combining with Zhou ngyao?”
Hearing this, Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “It’s groundless! Aunt Zhou is indeed very smart, but she is not like what you said.”
Zheng Yao grits her teeth. She will never forget the scene that when she went back from C City, she saw Zhou ngyao was with Yi Xian!
Zhou ngyao did that on purpose. They all did that on purpose!
“If I can’t see you by twelve tomorrow, you are no longer a mber of the Yi family.”
Zheng Yao drops the words and slams the phone to hang up.
Xia Ning tightly purses her lips. She stares at the phone blankly and then she throws it aside.
Seemingly, the conflicts between her mother-in-law and her can’t be solved soon.
It is in the Starbucks coffee shop.
“President Zhou, I didn’t expect that you would send an invitation to . How can soone like you be so leisurely to have coffee with other people?” Gu Luan puts down the coffee. He looks at Zhou ngyao sitting face to face with him and says tentatively.
“Oh. In Director Gu’s opinion, I can’t have coffee with other people leisurely?” Zhou ngyao teases.
“Sure, you can, as long as you like. I feel it a great honor that you give the opportunity to have coffee with you.”
Zhou ngyao gently smiles, “Master Gu, you are too polite. Apparently, you are the director of World Era Weekly and other people may not know your real identity. However, I think I am capable enough to know sothing. What you said just now should be said by .”
Gu Luan’s eyes gleam in surprise. He takes a sip of the coffee, “Since President Zhou has ntioned that, I may just skip the formula. I wonder what you invite out for?”
“I want to make a deal with you.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows. A deal?
“Is it about business cooperation? President Zhou knows it clearly that I love the news industry. As to other business, I am afraid that I don’t have anything to cooperate with you.”
“Yes, you do.” Zhou ngyao slightly lifts her lips as a leopard cat does, “I want to borrow a person from you. But I am afraid that you may be unwilling to lend her. So, I want to make a deal with you.”
As if he vaguely realizes sothing, Gu Luan darkens his eyes, “Is the person very important to President Zhou? Must it be her?”
Zhou ngyao slightly cocks her head, “Sort of. I have t a lot of people and have got many candidates. But she is the only one who perfectly ets my requirents.”
Gu Luan turns silent. He has the desire to leave. But he keeps his patience to sit there. He wants to know what Zhou ngyao wants to do.
“The person I want to borrow is Xia Ning.”
“President Zhou, you can directly go to talk with Ning. Why do you co to and ask to make the decision?”
“Because World Era Weekly doesn’t allow its employees to work part-ti.” Zhou ngyao says with certainty, “But Ning’s dream is to be a director. If Director Gu agrees, there won’t be any conflicts.”
Yes. As long as he agrees, Xia Ning will be able to go to help Zhou ngyao. Last ti, Xia Ning went to act as a model. He turned a blind eye to that. Now, Zhou ngyao cos directly to him. He believes that it is not a simple case. It is fine for him to agree, but he can’t put Xia Ning on the top of the waves.
“What if I disagree?”
“It seems that you are really very concerned about Ning. Does Yi Yunrui know that?”
Gu Luan purses his lips in displeasure, “President Zhou, what on earth do you want to do?”
Zhou ngyao shrugs her shoulders, “Nothing else. I just want to borrow a person from you. But it is based on a deal...”
“I refuse all comrcial cooperation.” Gu Luan directly interrupts.
“Young man, don’t be impulsive.” Zhou ngyao shakes her head, “Last ti, Master Gu was attacked in W City. You haven’t found out the boss behind the attack. It must be a headache to Master Gu, even to the whole Gu family, isn’t it? Master Gu, if it is not got rid of as soon as possible, there may be so accidents happening to your father or your younger sister.”
Zhou ngyao gleams the suspicion in Gu Luan’s eyes. She sighs, “You young man is really impatient when thinking about problems. I may say it arrogantly. I have got so many things with , why do I bother to get myself in trouble? I have nothing to do with the attack at all.”
Gu Luan stares at Zhou ngyao, trying to find sothing from her expressions. However, he looks at her for quite a while but except for the vaguely tricky wisdom, he finds nothing else.
To be honest, he finds nothing malicious on Zhou ngyao.
Maybe there won’t be any harm for Ning to work for Zhou ngyao.
Thinking about this, Gu Luan slowly asks, “What’s the condition of your deal?”
“You lend her to while I help you find out the boss behind the attack. Deal?”
“Deal.”
Then, at noon, Gu Luan and Zhou ngyao ask Xia Ning to have lunch together.
This ti, they go to a western restaurant.
Gu Luan eats fast. In the middle of the lunch, he receives a call and leaves the table in a hurry. Before he leaves, he turns to Xia Ning and says, “Recently, President Zhou will be busy. If it is possible, you may go to give her a hand.”
Xia Ning feels shocked to hear his words. She has not responded while Gu Luan has left hurriedly.
Suddenly, Xia Ning realizes that Zhou ngyao and Gu Luan asked her for lunch because of so plan.
“Aunt Zhou.” She puts down the fork and the knife. Zhou ngyao is smiling at her. Xia Ning says, “I wonder if I am wrong. It seems that you and Director Gu ask for lunch for ...so special issues?”
Zhou ngyao puts on a bigger smile, “Yes. Master Gu and I deliberately ask you out for lunch.”
That is a frank reply.
“What is it for?”
“I have talked with Master Gu that I need to borrow you for so days.”
Xia Ning feels confused, “Borrow? In what way?”
Zhou ngyao thinks for a while, “To be exact, I want to have you to be my personal secretary and help dealing with so issues about the company.”
“What?” Xia Ning feels shocked blankly, “No. I can’t. The weekly doesn’t allow us to work part-ti elsewhere...”
“Who tells you it is a part-ti job? It is a cooperation between World Era Weekly and Junhao Group. It will promote the developnt of the two groups. Ning, what you are going to do is good for the developnt of World Era Weekly. It is not a simple matter of earning money.”
Xia Ning feels confused. Aunt Zhou’s words sound reasonable, but yet weird.
“Junhao Group cooperates with World Era Weekly...Normally speaking, doesn’t it need to write a plan or sothing alike first? The two companies cooperate with each other. Why am I the only one...”
“Ning, this cooperation is top confidential. So, don’t tell anyone else. You can’t tell your husband about this, either.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning feels more confused, “If Rui doesn’t want to do this, I surely will not do it.”
Zhou ngyao rolls her eyes at Xia Ning, “You seem to regard as a bad person. Well. I may tell you the truth. I can’t bear everything all by myself. Sothing happened to Master Gu’s family and he asked for help. I have to get sothing from him as an exchange. So, I borrowed you.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes. Maybe...what Aunt Zhou said is true. But she still feels confused, “It is a serious case. What can I do?”
“Ning, you can do a lot of things!” Zhou ngyao widens her eyes, “Though Junhao Group has got a lot of properties under its na, to be honest, the people I can rely on are few. Ning, I may say sorry to you here in advance. I want to exploit you.”
