Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 216 - The Quarrel Fighting



Chapter 216 The Quarrel Fighting

It sounds that Wan Liqing is obviously jealous. Xia Ning smiles, “I was absent for some time. Director Gu is flattering me by asking me to make the coffee. Everyone knows that Director Gu is a nice person and he is kind to his subordinates. Director Wan, it is not strange at all.”

Not expecting that Xia Ning will reply to her face to face, Wan Liqing is shocked. Then, she feels sad in her heart. She makes up her mind to ruin Xia Ning. As long as Xia Ning is there, Gu Luan is not going to accept her love. He is even not going to pay any attention to her!

To retrieve Gu Luan’s love, she has to get rid of Xia Ning!

Thinking of this, Wan Liqing puts on a smile, “Ah. Director Xia, I am just kidding. Why are you so nervous? Everyone in the company knows that you have a husband who loves you very much. That’s really enviable.”

Xia Ning slightly smiles, “It is natural for a husband to love his wife. Director Wan will also find the man who loves you in the future.”

The careless speaker may offend the careful listener. What Xia Ning says sounds like a sword sticking into Wan Liqing’s heart. Wan Liqing feels so painful that she clenches her fists secretly because of jealousy.

Xia Ning, you don’t need to be so arrogant! There will be the day when you cry in front of me and beg for my mercy!

“Hum. Director Xia is right. However, sometimes, over showing off love may cause hatred. Human heart is hard to be predicted. Director Xia may pay attention to that.”

“All right. Liqing, do you come to my office to argue with Ning?” Not waiting for Xia Ning to respond, Gu Luan speaks in a cold voice, “You are a senior employee of the company. Why do you act like a child?”

“Director, I…”

Gu Luan waves his hand, “If you are concerned about the coffee issue. That is simple. In the future, before I arrive at the office, you may specially make the coffee for me!”

Wan Liqing hears Gu Luan’s words. Her face turns grey and then white. She grits her teeth and gives a glimpse at Xia Ning.

“Director, this is the arrangement for my department. Please check. I put the work requirements of my department for the week in it. Please try to give us support. Please sign back.” Leng Weiwei passes the files to Gu Luan.

Gu Luan takes it over and opens it. He glances at it and signs his names without hesitation. Then he gives it back to Leng Weiwei.

Leng Weiwei takes it over, “Director, thank you. I don’t have anything else. I may leave now. Xia Ning, Wan Liqing, we have to be united in the company. Solve our personal problems after work. Director Gu is busy enough. So if you have any problems, you may come to me. That is all.”

Then, Leng Weiwei stands up. She turns to leave the office.

“Director Wan, what are you here for?” Gu Luan asks Wan Liqing.

Wan Liqing looks at Xia Ning, hesitating whether she should speak frankly or not.

Xia Ning understands. She turns to Gu Luan, “Director Gu, I may go now.”

Gu Luan thinks for a while. He nods, “You may go to work. If you need any help at work, you can come to me directly.”

“Thank you for your support. Director Wan, I may leave now.” Then, Xia Ning leaves the Director’s Office.

Wan Liqing sees Xia Ning leave. She gives a file to Gu Luan, “Luan, here are the excellent employee candidates from my department.”

Gu Luan takes over the file. He doesn’t have the intention to open it, “Hum. I see. I will think about it.”

Wan Liqing sees Gu Luan’s reaction. She frowns, “Director, they are all excellent candidates out of several runs of selections before they are reported to you. Don’t you want to have a look at that?”

“I will read the file later. If I have any comments or results, I will send my assistant to tell you.” Gu Luan says. He puts the file aside.

Wan Liqing curls her lips. She is very displeased, “Director, there are some words I want to speak out frankly. If you don’t like to listen, or if you think I speak too much. I can accept any punishment.”

Gu Luan freezes his smile, “You have already known the result. You may not speak at all. Go back to work.”

Not expecting Gu Luan will stop her, Wan Liqing is shocked. She says in a cold voice, “I think Director Gu is too partial to Director Xia! She was absent for half a month for no reason. Once she comes back, she is paid great attention to and well treated. Many people in the company can’t be convinced! Director, you have always been fair. I don’t hope that you have your image influenced because of this woman.”

Gu Luan puts down his pen and takes up the coffee to sip, “Ning is a talent. It is said that doubtful people are not to be used, while the people used are not to be doubted. You should understand the reasoning.”

“I surely do. However, Director, you are partial to her! There is a rumor in the company saying that you have a crush on Director Xia. Do you hear about that?”

Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “We don’t need to investigate the rumor. I only pay attention to personal achievements! Director Wan, for me, capability gets the say!”

Wan Liqing is stuck and she feels furious in her heart. What she says is easily gotten rid of by Gu Luan in a casual way. She is clear. No matter what she is going to say, Gu Luan won’t buy it.”

Thinking of this, Wan Liqing takes a deep breath. She speaks slowly, “Luan, do you like Xia Ning?”

Gu Luan freezes his face. He lifts his head and looks at Wan Liqing. His eyes are deep, “Director Wan, is it necessary for you to ask this question once a day? In your opinion, it is normal that I like you, while it is abnormal that I like Xia Ning?”

“Xia Ning is a married woman.”

“You are a married woman, too.”

“!” Wan Liqing feels her heart painful. She feels quite depressed at once. She is helpless, “Luan, I divorced one year ago. I was reckless to hurt you. I can only say I am sorry. But I don’t want you to be like this…Luan, you will ruin yourself!”

Gu Luan smiles coldly, “Thank you for your warning. If there is nothing else, you may go out.”

Wan Liqing is shocked. She grits her teeth and turns to leave.

The door is closed. Gu Luan gives a sigh of relief. He takes up the coffee for a sip.

It smells good and tastes sweet.

He admires Xia Ning. He loves her. Will that ruin him?

Ha. What a joke!

Wan Liqing, you have always been so righteous!

She was righteous seven years ago. And she doesn’t change now.

Those missed are already missed. However, …

Gu Luan slightly blinks his eyes.

Wan Liqing comes back and he figures out what is in his heart. He realizes what he really wants!

He doesn’t mind having a long-term battle.

Anyway, he has been waiting for ten years. He doesn’t mind waiting for another ten years.

Xia Ning…He has to get her!

Xia Ning goes back to her office. There is a work report on her desk. Looking at the work report of over ten pages, Xia Ning can’t help putting on a smile.

Gu Ruoruo stands by the desk quietly. She pays attention to Xia Ning’s expressions from time to time. There are many unsolved troubles in the two weeks. How can Xia Ning smile?

Xia Ning reads the report for around half an hour before she puts it down. She looks at Gu Ruoruo’s nervous face, “Ruoruo, you did a good job. You really worked hard during the past time.”

Gu Ruoruo is surprised to hear what Xia Ning says, “Is … Is that a good job?”

Xia Ning nods. It is not surprising that Gu Luan wanted to fire some people. In Gu Ruoruo’s report, some things can be solved within the department. But many supervisors found excuses to get rid of the burdens and throw them to Gu Ruoruo. Based on her current capability, they were too much for Gu Ruoruo. However, she took up the responsibility and didn’t escape. That can be considered a good job.

“Yes, it is. At least, when faced with difficulties, you didn’t escape. In this aspect, you are worth praising.”

Gu Ruoruo brightens her eyes. She smiles, “Hehe. I am not flattering myself. Sister Xia, I really didn’t escape. Since I had promised my brother and you, I had to take my duty. It is my duty. I couldn’t escape. My father often tells me that honesty is the base of treating people and doing things. This is very important.”

What Gu Ruoruo says attracts Xia Ning’s great attention. It seems that the father of Gu’s brother and sister is an excellent person.

She is just going to ask about that when she remembers An Zeyou mentioned Gu Luan’s family. She swallows her words back.

“Hum. Your father is right. We should not have the intention to hurt people and we need to pay attention to defending ourselves. Honesty as a base is very important. Ruoruo, if you are tired, I can grant you several days’ holiday with pay. I will take care of the rest things.”

Gu Ruoruo blinks her eyes. It is surely great to have a holiday. However, the department is in a mess now. She doesn’t want to get away from her duty now.

“We may discuss the holiday some days later. However, Sister Xia, you have to keep your words.”

Xia Ning smiles and nods, “Hum. I know. Then, you may have the holiday later.” Saying this, Xia Ning glances at the time. She says, “Tell everyone in the entertainment department that we are having a meeting at two this afternoon.”

“Yes, Director.”

Xia Ning spends the whole morning dealing with all the problems left in the past two weeks. Then, she contacts all the stars and big shots in person. Surprisingly, the assistants of the famous stars are all kind to hear her voice and they are not hard on her. Everything goes smoothly.

Three hours later, she has basically finished making the interview arrangement for a month. Next, she will distribute the tasks to different sections. In the meeting this afternoon, she will mainly talk about the work arrangement in the following month and the important events that happened during the two weeks when she was absent.

People say that newcomers come with new changes. She is an old comer with improvements. Those should be punished will be punished, while those should be praised will be praised. As the director of the department, she has to get her image and authority set up first.

At the time, there is a knock at the door. It is Li Baoer.

“Director Xia, Editor Leng told me to come to help you. Director Xia, what do you want me to do?” Li Baoer comes in and cries.

Xia Ning smiles, “Seriously? Then, thank you, Assistant Li.”

“Never mention it. What are we? Come on. Send me to the most strength-consuming work!”

Xia Ning is going to respond when her office phone rings. Xia Ning presses the answer button. Not waiting for Xia Ning to speak, Gu Ruoruo’s excited voice is heard, “Sister Xia, Yin Jingsi is here! She is in the VIP Room. She wants to meet you. Sister Xia, are you going to meet her?”
