Li Baoer looks at Xia Ning for quite a while. Then, she smiles, “It seems Ning grows up. You know to fight back. It is good.”
“Hehe. I can’t always be bullied by others. Right? I can’t always make you worried about me, either.”
“Ah. Seemingly, having a good husband really means having the whole world. I wonder when Zhongheng will come back. I really miss him.”
“It may need some days. He will come back soon. Anyway, before Colonel Dai comes back, to prevent you from making blind conjectures, I plan to arrange some tasks for you. So that, you make use of your time more properly.”
Li Baoer brightens her eyes, “I am worried about not being fully occupied now! Come on. Give me some arrangements. I will obey you.”
Li Shi goes back to the supervisor’s office. She sweeps all the files on her desk onto the ground. Her assistant is scared to stand outside and dares not to come in.
Li Shi bites her bottom lip. It almost bleeds. She thinks for a while and decides to call that man.
Even though she promised him that they might have connections in money and sex, while they would deal with their life respectively.
Li Shi grits her teeth. She takes up the phone and dials the number.
Hello, Deputy Director An, it is me, Shishi. Oh, I know it is work time. I call now because it is work time. Do you have time? I want to talk with you about something serious.”
Li Shi talks for about ten minutes before she hangs up. She closes her eyes and gives a long sigh of relief.
In the phone, she tried whatever she can to convince him. She had a metal fighting against Deputy Director An. Finally, the man reluctantly agreed.
She turns to look at the crowds and buildings through the French window . In such a busy city, it is the first time for Li Shi to feel very lonely.
Her heart is almost frozen with coldness.
In the Director’s Office.
“Yes. Entertainment Department had a over two-hour meeting. It is said that quite some conflicts were caused in the meeting. Anyway, it finished in peace. Director, do you want me to do anything?”
“No need. Thank you. You may go to work.” Gu Luan says and hangs up.
Ever since Xia Ning came back, he has asked his assistant to follow up everything in Entertainment Department and report to him in detail. Actually, he had already known the conflicts in the Entertainment Department before. He just waited for Xia Ning to come back to do the cleanup.
Among people in the Entertainment Department, there are some going to be sifted out.
If Xia Ning doesn’t get rid of them, he will do that himself.
He has already sent the replacements information to Xia Ning, telling her what his opinion is.
It is believable that Xia Ning holds the meeting to start the cleanup.
Gu Luan takes up the coffee for a sip. He frowns at once. Then, he takes the cup and walks to the counter to pour the coffee completely.
Not knowing since when, he has found that he has changed his favor in bitter Coffee. He likes fragrant and sweet coffee now, especially that prepared by Xia Ning.
Gu Luan looks at the empty cup and smiles.
Human, really changes.
At the time, his phone rings.
He glances at the number. It tells that it is the Justice Bureau.
“Hello, …Oh, Secretary Li. What are you calling for?”
Secretary Li, the secretary of the Deputy Director An of Justice Bureau calls.
After they greet each other, Secretary Li says, “Director Gu, I have a question. Do you have an employee called Li Shi?”
“Oh. Li Shi. Yes. She is the supervisor of the Journalists Section. Why?”
“Well. Last time, our deputy director went out for business and encountered some difficulties. The woman named Li Shi offered some help. Our deputy director didn’t get the chance to repay her. Now, we finally learn that she is in your company. Our deputy director wants to ask you for a small favor. He hopes that Director Gu can give Li Shi more opportunities, so she can have a better development in C City. She is really a nice woman.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows and understands at once, “Oh. Li Shi. Hum. I see. Well. Secretary Li, I understand what you mean. I will call Deputy Director An myself later. Thank you.”
They go through greetings and Gu Luan hangs up.
Li Shi…Deputy Director An…
Thinking of this, Gu Luan slightly blinks his eyes. So, the “big boss” behind Li Shi is Deputy Director An.
Li Shi is very talented. She is smart. But she is too arrogant for her capability.
Does she really think that with the support of Deputy Director An, she can successfully solve the problem?”
Well, she underestimates Gu Luan!
The coffee is ready. Gu Luan puts some milk and sugar in it. He takes the coffee and goes back to his seat. He takes up the handset, “Assistant Huang, ask supervisor Li Shi to come here.”
“OK. Director.”
Soon, Li Shi comes in. When she sees Gu Luan, Li Shi feels her heart finally get settled.”
As long as Gu Luan gives the order, she won’t need to leave C City.
“Take a seat.” Gu Luan lifts his hand slightly.
“OK.” Li Shi sits in front of Gu Luan. She strokes her hairs, “Director, I wonder what you ask me to come here for?”
“Supervisor Li, you have been working at the World Era Weekly for a year. Haven’t you?”
“Yes. Director, you are right.”
“How do you like the work in the Journalists Section?”
It goes to the point. Li Shi brightens her eyes, “Director, I think the Journalists Section is a good place for people to practice themselves. There are also many opportunities. It is my honor to work in the Journalists Section. I love my job and I hope I can continue to work here for a long time.”
Gu Luan thinks for a while, “I heard that you had some conflicts with Director Xia. What’s wrong?”
Li Shi pauses for a while, “Well. I am young and I haven’t worked for a long time in the society. I did something improperly and offended Director Xia, so…”
“Supervisor Li, the most important thing for a department is unity, which is followed by personal capability. Ning is the director of Entertainment Department. She is your upper boss. To respect your boss is a basic requirement at work. Do you agree?”
Li Shi curls her lips and nods, “I know. Director, I know what to do in the future. I will completely obey the arrangements of Director Xia. Director Gu, I really want to stay at C City for further development. I don’t want to leave for other places.”
Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “What do you mean?”
“Well. We had a meeting just now. I might offend Director Xia by speaking improperly. Director Xia gave me an envelope with a recommendation letter inside. Director Xia wants to recommend me to W City. Director Gu, I grow up in C City. It is my home. I will be a stranger in W City. I really don’t want to go there. Director, I know I was wrong. Would you help to talk with Director Xia for me?”
Gu Luan is silent. He sips the coffee, “Then, what did you say in the meeting?”
Hearing this, Li Shi’s face turns gray and red. If she tells what happened in the meeting, Gu Luan will definitely not speak for her.
