Chapter 166 - Sanye
Chapter 166 Sanye
“Do you really want to stay or are you forced to do so?” Xia Ning asks directly, “You may tell me frankly. Or, we will be unhappy with each other every day.”
Gu Ruoruo curls her lips: “Since you ask about it. I will tell you frankly. But please don’t tell others.”
“OK. You may tell.”
“My brother said that if I didn’t work hard here under you, he would not allow me to stay in World Era Weekly!”
Gu Ruoruo says angrily. Xia Ning slightly frowns.
As far as she knows, Gu Luan never mixes up personal and business issues. No matter what a superior family some of the staff may come from, he always treats everyone equally. Why does he do this to his younger sister?
It seems that…Gu Luan has changed.
Xia Ning thinks for a while, saying: “Since your brother has said so. Then we have to do it. Ruoruo, let’s make an agreement. Once it is made, both of us will need to obey it. What do you think?”
“The agreement needs to be fair! Or I won’t obey it.”
Hearing Gu Ruoruo’s childish response, Xia Ning smiles: “Ruoruo, there are no personal conflicts between us. Don’t regard me as your enemy, will you?”
Gu Ruoruo curls her lips and says in a low voice: “If you don’t seduce my brother, I surely will not regard you as an enemy.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes. She never seduces anyone.
“Ruoruo, it is an oral agreement. As long as we can obey it, I believe we can get along well from now on.”
“OK. You may tell.” Gu Ruoruo agrees at once. She is afraid that it may be a written agreement. Now, she knows that it is an oral agreement. That is what she likes.
“There are two items in the agreement. One is that in work time, we don’t discuss about personal issues. The other is that we don’t bring personal emotions with us in order not to influence our work. That is all. Is that OK for you?”
Gu Ruoruo widens her eyes in surprise: “Just these two items?”
“Yes.”
“That is easy. OK. No problem. Deal.”
Xia Ning shakes her head. Gu Ruoruo is still a child. They make an oral agreement now. It depends on her self-discipline ability whether she will obey it.
After they make the agreement, Gu Ruoruo truly doesn’t bring personal emotions with her to work that day. As to the work arranged by Xia Ning, she deals with it properly with few complaints.
Xia Ning sees the change of Gu Ruoruo and gives a sigh of relief. At least, they are not going to make a scene.
Yi Yunrui takes the official document and his sharp eyes freeze.
The commander calls an emergency meeting. Besides the military layout plan, the key issue is about this official document from the central government.
Sanye, one of the three giants of the criminal group Black Skeleton, the so-called “Master of Death”, has arrived in C City.
As to who is Sanye, for a long time, the country has tried with all its efforts but still can’t find any information about him, except that his nickname is Sanye.
The Black Skeleton emerged and grew basically because it has Sanye there. Sanye is famous for viciousness and cruelty.
Even those who belong to Black Skeleton will be terrified to hear the word “Sanye”, not to mention people outside.
However, the information about Sanye is unknown to anyone except the big boss inside Black Skeleton. It is even unsure whether Sanye is a man or a woman.
Yi Yunrui blinks his eyes and puts down the document. He looks through the window, with memory going far away.
Five years ago, he was so close. He almost got Sanye shot.
But that woman was really poor…
Yi Yunrui is in meditation, when his phone rings for the message, which draws him back to reality. Yi Yunrui takes up the phone and clicks on the message.
Xia Ning glances at the time. It is half past five, almost off work.
She wonders if Yi Yunrui will go home for dinner in the evening.
She remembers that he said that if he doesn’t call her or send her messages, he may be in special missions.
At the time, Xia Ning’s office phone rings. She glances at the screen and finds it from the Director Office.
“Xia Ning, sorry, you are going to work overtime. Please pack your things and go with me for dinner in ten minutes. I will wait for you in the parking.”
“Director, then the supper…” Not waiting for Xia Ning to finish her words, Gu Luan has hung up.
Xia Ning helplessly listens to the beep and hangs up.
At the time, Gu Ruoruo walks in: “Director, can I go off work now?”
Xia Ning nods: “Yes. You may go home.”
Gu Ruoruo is happy. She takes several steps and turns around: “Director, you said it is off work. Why are you still here? Is there still anything to deal with?”
Xia Ning remembers what Gu Luan said and she shakes her head: “Nothing. I will leave after finishing the work at hand. You may go first.”
Gu Ruoruo hesitates for a while and turns to leave.
When she closes the door of the office, she seems to remember something. She takes her phone out and calls Wan Liqing.
Xia Ning holds her head, wondering if she should tell Yi Yunrui about her going out with Gu Luan for dinner.
Tell him frankly…or not?
Anyway, she is going to leave at some time. It is unnecessary for her to make Commander Yi worried about her.
Thinking of this, Xia Ning puts the files on her desk in order. She takes her bag and walks towards the parking.
When she gets to the parking, she sees that Gu Luan is talking on the phone. Gu Luan glances at her and hangs up.
“You are here. I will drive you to supper.”
“Director,” Xia Ning says, “I have my car here. You may tell me the location and I can drive there.”
“It is the peak hour and there are lots of vehicles on the roads. It is not easy to find the place and I am afraid that you may not catch up with me. I’d better drive you there.”
Saying this, Gu Luan goes directly to his car.
Xia Ning hesitates. She sees that Gu Luan has opened the door of his car. She thinks for a while and follows him.
Xia Ning wants to open the door for the back seat, but she finds that the door can’t be opened. Xia Ning is just going to ask, when Gu Luan says: “You may sit in the co-driver seat.”
Xia Ning is stunned: “Is that suitable?”
“It is for work. Don’t worry. Come in.”
Xia Ning curls her lips and sits in the co-driver seat.
Gu Luan starts the car. Xia Ning takes out her phone and sends a message to Yi Yunrui, telling him that she needs to work overtime and may go home late.
Soon, Yi Yunrui replies: “OK. I will wait for you at home.”
Xia Xing’s heart clicks. Yi Yunrui is at home!
Xia Ning sends another message: “Are you at home?”
A few seconds later, Yi Yunrui replies: “In the military region. I am going home soon.”
Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief and puts her phone aside.
Gu Luan is driving carefully. Xia Ning asks: “Director, do we have a dinner appointment?”
“No. It is just dinner. We will go back to work after dinner.”
“What’s it about?”
Gu Luan thinks for a while: “It is about the employees of the company which needs to be dealt with urgently.”
Xia Ning is a little confused: “If it is about the employees of the company, you should discuss with the administration department manager. I am the Director of Entertainment Department…”
“What I am dealing with is about the entertainment department.”
Hearing this, Xia Ning is shocked, wondering if anything happened in the Entertainment Department.
Shit. She asked for leave for several days and told the vice-director to manage the department. Did anything happen?
It seems not. If anything happened in the Entertainment Department, the vice-director would have told her. It shouldn’t be told by Gu Luan.
Xia Ning is confused. Soon, Gu Luan’s car stops in front of an international restaurant.
The chef of this restaurant was honored as the Michelin three stars chef and foods there are really expensive.
Gu Luan is going to have dinner with her here?
God. That is totally too luxurious.
“Director, do you have an appointment with someone else?” Xia Ning asks in confusion.
Gu Luan gently smiles: “Yes, I have the appointment with you.”
Xia Ning is shocked. Only Gu Luan and her!
Gu Luan passed the key of the car to the clerk of the restaurant. Without asking for Xia Ning’s permission, Gu Luan holds Xia Ning’s arm to walk into the restaurant.
Once Gu Luan enters the restaurant, the clerks there immediately greet him: “Mr. Gu, welcome.”
Not waiting for Gu Luan to speak, a man dressed like a manager comes to him and politely greets him again and again.
The interior of the restaurant is designed in royal style. Xia Ning looks at it and sees the attitude of the manager to Gu Luan. She loses herself in meditation.
An Zeyou called Gu Luan Master Gu. If Gu Luan were a director only, An Zeyou would not have been so concerned about his identity.
In addition, this restaurant is to serve the national level guests, while the manager is so polite to Gu Luan as if he is quite afraid of him. What is the true identity of Gu Luan?
They sit in an exclusive VIP booth. Gu Luan says: “As usual.” He doesn’t think about it at all. The manager at once responds obsequiously.
Xia Ning opens the menu and reads the dishes and prices. All are of super first-class standard.
Not to mention normal people, even white collars need to have a good consideration if they want to have dinner here.
Being aware of Xia Ning’s hesitation, the manager misunderstands that Xia Ning can’t make a decision. He immediately says: “Miss Xia, may I introduce the specialties for you? It may be helpful.”
Xia Ning blinks her eyes and smiles: “No need. Please give me a sole fish fillet.”
As if he worries that Xia Ning may not have enough, Gu Luan orders a lot of other foods. After quite a while, the manager leaves.
“Director, you order so many dishes. Can we eat them up?” Xia Ning is quite embarrassed. The dinner can cost half a month’s salary of hers.
Gu Luan mildly smiles: “Ning, we worked under so much pressure. it’s dinner time. Let’s take it easy.”
“Hum…OK.” Xia Ning surely understands what Gu Luan means.
But at the moment, whom she is thinking about is Yi Yunrui.
Yi Yunrui may still be working in the military region or doing something else. When he goes home, he won’t have had supper.
If she doesn’t go back, Yi Yunrui…will definitely have no supper.
“Ning, what are you thinking about?”
Xia Ning is shocked and is drawn back to reality. She is going to respond when she suddenly realizes one thing!
Gu Luan has changed the way to address her!
