Heyday Love: A Heaven-sent Husband

Chapter 306 - Rush to Be the First



Chapter 306 Rush to Be the First

“Gu Luan, I want to have your explanation!”

In the early morning, Wan Liqing walks directly into Gu Luan’s office. She sits in front of Gu Luan and says in a displeased tone.

Gu Luan notices Wan Liqing’s anger. He takes a sip of the coffee and says slowly, “It is early in the morning. Have you had breakfast?”

Wan Liqing hesitates, “Yes, I have.”

“Do you want to have a cup of coffee?”

Wan Liqing looks at the cappuccino in Gu Luan’s cup. She feels angrier, “I don’t like your style of coffee!”

Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Oh, sorry. I only have this kind here.”

“This kind of coffee is what that woman likes! Gu Luan, why do you become a toy of her?”

Gu Luan feels shocked, “Director Wan, please mind your words. We are in a public place…”

“Don’t you? All the people in the company know that Director Gu likes Director Xia! You do everything for the favor of Director Xia.”

“Do I?” Gu Luan is not angry. Instead, he smiles, “It is fine. Anyway, they also said so about you and me years ago.”

“You!” The words are just like swords stabbing into Wan Liqing’s heart. She feels so painful that she grits her teeth, “In the past, you are not the Director of the Weekly! You are in a different position now. How can you make such a comparison?”

Gu Luan smiles noncommittally, “A wise man doesn’t believe rumors. Director Wan, what do you come here for?”

The casual response is just like a clap hitting on Wan Liqing’s face. She takes some deep breaths to calm down herself, “Why don’t you take me to attend the economic and trade conference? Am I unqualified? Or, do you deliberately keep me away?”

“Do you want to hear the true reasons?”

“Sure! Don’t tell me false excuses. I am not a fool.”

Gu Luan puts down the coffee, “OK. You may be patient to listen to me.”

Wan Liqing curls her lips. She realizes that Gu Luan speaks in such a serious way. There must be some words which she will be displeased to hear.

“You may say. I will try to control myself.”

“Director Wan, how many years have you been working at World Era Weekly?”

“…” Not expecting that Gu Luan will ask this question, Wan Liqing hesitates, “Aren’t you very clear how many years I have been working here?”

“Ha, ha! Hum. I am very clear. As to qualification, no one can be comparable to you. It is just an economic and trade conference. Why do you care about it so much? You work here and you are not going to quit tomorrow, aren’t you?”

Wan Liqing slightly turns her face away noncommittally.

What she cares about is not the attendance of the conference!

What she cares about is that Gu Luan simply “slapped” her in front of others!

That’s really humiliating!

“Maybe you think I didn’t make a fair decision and embarrassed you in front of others. Hum. Seemingly, there is a suspicion alike. In the past, no matter what decisions I had made, you would support me. Because you trust me and understood the purpose behind my decisions. Therefore, in the past, I really liked you and was concerned about you very much.”

Hearing this, Wan Liqing softens her face. She feels her heart jump.

“However, I don’t know from when, the Wan Liqing I was familiar with seemed to change to be another person. She changed to be…I can’t describe her. I only know I can hardly recognize her.”

“Isn’t that because of you…”

Gu Luan slightly lifts his hand to interrupt Wan Liqing, “Director Wan, you have to understand your position in the company! It is correct. I am afraid that there may be some conflicts if you and Ning go together. It may cause some embarrassment. This is one of the reasons. However, the most important reason is the company. If all high managers go to attend the conference, who will manage the company?”

Wan Liqing feels shocked.

“I leave you in the company. I think when we are away, you may help me to manage the company. I trust no one else.”

Wan Liqing feels moved. She lifts to look at Gu Luan. For an instant, she even has an illusion that Gu Luan is still concerned about her!”

“Are you telling me the truth?”

Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows. He takes up the coffee for a sip, “I may stop here. It is no use to say more. If you don’t have anything else, Director Wan, you may go out to work.”

He feels the current Wan Liqing totally strange to him.

No matter what he says, real or false, she is suspicious of it. Such a relationship makes him feel annoyed and bored.

The impatience in Gu Luan’s eyes is caught clearly by Wan Liqing!

In an instant, the furious flame which is going out suddenly goes up again in her heart.

It is a lie!

If he means it sincerely, why doesn’t he talk further with her? Not even something to please her?

If she were Xia Ning, he would not treat her in this way!

He said that he wanted to leave her here to manage the company. He said that she was the most qualified person… Everything is a lie!

What he did is only to better please Xia Ning!

He only wants her to be the watchdog for him…

Wan Liqing angrily stands up, “Fine. As you say so! Anyway, whatever I say here can’t be as useful as her words! It is no use embarrassing myself here! However, Gu Luan, you have to understand that some people are not worth waiting!”

Then, Wan Liqing walks out forcefully in her high heel shoes. She slams the door after her.

Gu Luan puts down the coffee. He feels his head aching.

Ah. Woman…

It is in the headquarters office.

“Commander, Commander Xie told me to make the coffee for you.” Zhang Hai puts the coffee in front of Yi Yunrui and says politely, “Commander Xie said that he put a lot of sugar in it and you might add some more if it was not sweet enough.”

Yi Yunrui looks at the black coffee giving out of heavy sugar flavor. It is imaginable that it won’t be tasty.

Commander Xie is making fun of him. He deliberately made the coffee?

Yi Yunrui nods. Zhang Hai salutes and walks out.

Yi Yunrui stares at the coffee for quite a while before he takes it up for a sip. Then, he frowns tightly.

Too much sugar doesn’t make the coffee sweet. Instead, it is sour.

Can Commander Xie like coffee of this taste?

It is simply vinegar.

Yi Yunrui puts the coffee aside and goes on reading an official document just sent to him from the management.

Go to Beijing to report next week.

Go to Beijing to report on his work…

He has been in the army for over ten years and has never experienced anything called “report on his work”. What will that be?

“Hum.”

Yi Yunrui groans and throws the documents away.

Has he taken any moves?

It seems to be getting more and more interesting.

At the time, someone knocks at the door and Zhang Hai comes in, “Commander, Colonel Luo wants to meet you.”

Yi Yunrui nods. Luo Zhen comes in. Zhang Hai goes out and closes the door.

“Commander.”

“Hum. Luo Zhen, what’s up?”

Luo Zhen hesitates for a while, “Commander, I want to ask you for a favor…”

“What?” Yi Yunrui responds directly, “Don’t hesitate. You are a man! Speaking!”

Luo Zhen straightens his body and says in a loud voice, “I want Commander to write a recommendation letter for me or directly transfer me to the newly set up Red Eagle special force! This is what I am asking for. I want to have your permission!”

Yi Yunrui frowns to hear his words.

Red Eagle special force is a new special force set up by the central government. It will carry out the most dangerous but also most important missions including assassinating, fighting against criminals and peacekeeping. It is the sharpest sword of the army. Those who can participate in the Red Eagle special force are elites among elites. It is a great honor to be a member of it.

However, … the missions are dangerous, so, soldiers of the team need to sign a paper in advance.

The missions may cost lives.

“Does Wenping agree?”

“…I haven’t told her.”

Yi Yunrui freezes his face, “I am not against you, but you have to be responsible for her! At least, you have to communicate with her about this! You are a man. How can you do things so recklessly?”

Luo Zhen is silent. He pouts as if he is treated wrongly.

Yi Yunrui is aware of Luo Zhen’s uneasiness. He feels confused, “Did you quarrel with Wenping? Quarreling is unavoidable between men and wives. However, you don’t have to risk your life …”

“Commander, do you know Wenping’s family background?”

Yi Yunrui hesitates. He says in a deep voice, “Hum. Wenping’s father is the president of X Bank.”

“Yes! The president of X bank.” Luo Zhen feels sad. He almost cries.

How can he be the husband of her based on his current identity?

Ten of him are not good enough for her!

“So, you want to participate in the Red Eagle special force?”

“Yes! Please approve!”

Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and doesn’t respond at once.

At the time, Zhang Hai opens the door again, “Commander, Lieutenant Feng wants to meet you.”

“Tell him to come in.” What happens? They want to make the team?

Feng Le comes in. He is surprised to see Luo Zhen here. He salutes at once, “Colonel Luo!”

Luo Zhen nods. He turns to Yi Yunrui, “Commander, when can you reply to me about this issue?”

Yi Yunrui glances at Luo Zhen, “I won’t approve it.”

“What?” Luo Zhen almost jumps up when he hears Yi Yunrui’s response, “Commander, it is just a recommendation letter. You are a commander. Isn’t it a very easy thing for you?”

Yi Yunrui stares at Luo Zhen, “Before Wenping gives her comments, I won’t approve it.”

Luo Zhen feels stuck. He murmurs, “How will Pingping agree…Ah…”

“Feng, what’s up?” Yi Yunrui waves his hand at Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen still wants to say something. However, he sees Yi Yunrui darken his face. He is shocked. He feels depressed and walks out.

“Commander, I want to participate in the Red Eagle special force! I hope you support me!”

Yi Yunrui lifts his eyebrows. Seemingly, Luo Zhen and Feng Le make the appointment?

Before Yi Yunrui responds, Luo Zhen, who has walked out suddenly returns. He goes directly to Feng Le and shouts, “You boy, don’t fight against me for the opportunity! If you do, I won’t let you off!”
