Chapter 269 Careless!
Xia Ning sees Li Baoer say that with full expectations. She thinks for a while, “If you like her so much, why not adopt her to be your daughter? Anyway, she doesn’t have her parents.”
Li Baoer blinks her eyes. She strokes her head, “That is a nice idea. But I can’t even take care of myself. How can I look after Zhenzhen? And I wonder if Zhongheng will agree. Both of us are still at the stage of hard working. It is quite inconvenient to have a kid.”
Xia Ning smiles and doesn’t respond. In one month, Li Baoer is surely going to receive a big surprise. What she can do is to help her to get mentally prepared.
“Sister Xia, Sister Li, good morning!” Gu Ruoruo walks to them with a cup of hot coffee, “Oh, sorry. I only made a cup of coffee. Sister Li, do you want to have it? I can make a cup for you.”
“Thank you. I...”
“Ruoruo, please go to make another cup.” Not waiting for Li Baoer to finish her words, Xia Ning interrupts.
“OK. Please wait for a moment.” Gu Ruoruo puts the coffee on Xia Ning’s desk. She turns to walk out.
Li Baoer smiles, “Ning, I really didn’t notice you were so decisive. I remember that Ruoruo was against you when she came here at that time. Well. Now, she is obedient.”
“People change. She grows up and becomes mature.” Xia Ning says. She glances at the files there and casually takes up one of them, “Baoer, are you busy now?”
“Not now. Does the Director want me to do anything?”
Xia Ning smiles, “You are too polite. I have something to discuss with you.”
“I am too polite? Look at you. You are too polite!”
They are chatting when Gu Ruoruo brings another cup of coffee, “Sister Li, this is your coffee.”
“Thank you.” Li Baoer takes up the coffee for a sip, “It is sweet and fragrant. Ah, I have been working for a long time and it is the first time for me to be treated with the leadership standard. It feels good.”
“Sister Li is kidding. Isn’t it just a cup of coffee? I often make coffee for other people.” Gu Ruoruo responds frankly.
Xia Ning smiles. She doesn’t say anything. In Gu Ruoruo’s opinion, making coffee is not a big deal. However, there are many people who may not have the opportunity of drinking coffee specially made for them by other people all their life.”
“Ruoruo, I have some things to discuss with Baoer. If anyone calls, please transfer it to my office phone.”
“OK. I may go out to work now.” Gu Ruoruo is considerate to walk out.
Xia Ning takes a sip of the coffee. She looks at Li Baoer, “Baoer, tell me honestly, how is your work in the Journalist Section?”
Li Baoer is aware of Xia Ning’s seriousness. She thinks for a while, “I have been working in the Weekly for over two years in the News Department, but I am quite familiar with the work in Journalists Section. I dealt with the Journalists Section most when I was in the News Department. It is just something similar here. There must be some little problems, but generally speaking, everything is fine.”
Xia Ning nods, “That is good. Well. Do you know why I transfer you to my department?”
Li Baoer smiles. She feels a little shy, “You said in the meeting. There will be a term of two-month probation.”
In two months, when the probation finishes, Li Baoer will officially become the supervisor of the Journalists Section. She heard the news in the meeting and was shocked blankly. Then, she felt surprised by the unexpected favor.
“Baoer, I put you in this position. Do you feel it a pressure? After all, the higher the position you are in, the more pressure you will need to withstand. You may not feel as easy as you do now.” Xia Ning feels a little worried.
Li Baoer curls her lips. How couldn’t she never think about that? When she got the news, she was worried. She was afraid that she might not be capable enough for that. But she had been working for ten years, even if she didn’t work at the World Era TV Station, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to be a supervisor in other companies. The opportunity was right in front of her. It would be a pity for her to give it up. To be honest, she didn’t want to be a normal employee all her life.
Yes, if she becomes the supervisor of the Journalist Section, she will not be so easy at work. She will need to take quite some responsibilities. But she sees Xia Ning’s hard working. She doesn’t want to flinch!
Life is hard. She knows it. She has lived through the toughest time. She will be a little busier. That is not a big deal.
“Hum. I understand. However, thank you for giving me the chance. I know it is great to have you to be my friend!”
Hearing this, Xia Ning shakes her head, “I transfer you to my department and get you promoted to be a supervisor not because we are good friends. You do have the capability for that. So, Baoer, after you work as a supervisor, just do it as you will do.”
Li Baoer nods, “I see. I am glad to hear you say so. It seems that I am able to do it. Well. I will work hard. I won’t humiliate you.”
“You will surely do it well. I have confidence in you.”
“Thank you.” Li Baoer says. She sips the coffee, “Well, the coffee is tasty. Oh, there is a new Irish coffee shop in the street opposite to the Media Building. It sells very good coffee. Ning, have you been there?”
Xia Ning brightens her eyes, “Is there? I was on a leave for days. I don’t know that! Oh, I want to go there. What do they sell besides coffee?”
“They sell desserts and coffee only. Many desserts are created by themselves and can’t be found in other shops. The coffee is not expensive but tasty with unique flavors. I went there several times. We even need to wait for the seats in the evening. It would better go there in office hours, so there are not many people.”
“That is awesome...” Xia Ning feels like going at once. Coffee is her favorite.
“Well!” As if she remembers something, Xia Ning turns to Li Baoer, “We will go to drink coffee together at noon and have lunch by the way!”
Li Baoer is aware of Xia Ning’s eagerness. She nods, “OK. However, will other people think I fawn on you on purpose?”
Xia Ning is amused, “Don’t they know the relation between you and me? Do you need to fawn on me?”
“Hum. We are good friends.” At the time, Li Baoer’s phone rings. Li Baoer glances at the number and feels her head aching. She says to Xia Ning, “Ning, there is something happening in Journalist Section. I need to go back now.”
Xia Ning nods, “All right.”
Li Baoer stands up to go. But she turns again after several steps and takes up the coffee for a mouthful. She puts it down, “Such delicious coffee is not to be wasted.”
Xia Ning smiles to look at Li Baoer. She opens the file in her hand. She casually browses it and sees the newspaper piled on the desk. She feels her heart a little tightened. She puts down the file and takes up the newspaper to read.
She finds the TIME Weekly of B City first and reads it carefully.
These days, because of Yi Yunrui’s interference, she doesn’t have time for other things. Yin Jingsi’s apology in the blog raises quite some noises in the previous days. She wonders whether anything happened recently.
Then...
She finds a piece of explosive news again on today’s Entertainment page of the TIME Weekly!
Title: Yin Jingsi Was Withdrawn from the Position of the Head of Asian Region Branch of L’Oreal
Subtitle: It Is the Consequence of Yin Jingsi’s Indecent Personal Life
Xia Ning is shocked. What does “Indecent Personal Life” mean?
Wait. Didn’t Yin Jingsi always criticize other people for being indecent in life? Why was she herself criticized?
The report below the title doesn’t tell in detail why Yin Jingsi’s life is considered to be indecent. It only simply says that her marriage problem was harmful to her to be the ambassador of L’Oreal in the Asian region, and her personal lifestyle had brought some impact on L’ Oreal, so, the shareholders of L’Oreal all voted to dismissed her in the board.
Xia Ning lifts her eyebrows. The shareholders all voted to dismiss her. It seems that Yin Jingsi really had done something awful.
What on earth did Yin Jingsi do to result in such a great change of the situation?
Thinking of this, Xia Ning turns on the computer and opens Yin Jingsi’s blog.
Yin Jingsi’s blog has been officially controlled. However, she still can read the messages of the previous three days.
It takes Xia Ning quite some time to find the page which she read three days ago.
Yin Jingsi apologized. Many fans stood by her side and there was another fighting in the blog.
The fighting was fierce in these days. Xia Ning can imagine the scene that Zhang Hai pressed the keyboard as if he was firing a machinegun. The IDs controlled by Zhang Hai took the middle stand. They said since Yin Jingsi had apologized, everyone should not disturb Xia any longer. Let the story end.
However, there was another crowd of fans crying that Xia was too vicious and she should come out to apologize. It raised a new round of fighting.
Then...
It stopped at a time yesterday when a blogger uploaded a photo. The woman in the photo looks very similar to Yin Jingsi. She was leaning on a man’s embrace. The man was a foreigner.
It marked on the bottom of the photo that the man was one of Yin Jingsi’s backup men.
The photo appeared. There was another storm in the blog and another round of fighting...
The phone appeared at 14:30. At about 17:00, there was not even one review at all and no news came out.
It means that Yin Jingsi’s blog was controlled officially at five in the afternoon, yesterday.
Then the report came out.
It is easy to find that the news came out soon after Yin Jingsi’s blog being controlled.
Yin Jingsi was dismissed because of an indecent personal life...Does it have anything to do with the foreign man?
Xia Ning holds her chin and looks at the foreign man carefully. Though it is vague, generally speaking, the man looks very handsome with a noble face.
The man must have a superior background.
Wait. It seems that...She met the man somewhere before. He looks familiar to her.
Xia Ning thinks carefully and vaguely she remembers something in her brain.
