Chapter 219 Frontal Attack

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui smiles coldly, “You can tell Mayor Yin that I am having a meeting in the Military Region. I will call him back when I have time.”
“Yes, Sir!” Zhang Hai responds. He glances at the tea on Yi Yunrui’s desk. He remembers something and asks, “Commander, do you want to have a cup of coffee?”
Yi Yunrui slightly lifts his eyebrows, “Is there coffee in the Military Region?”
“Yes. Recently, Commander-in-chief brought back some coffee. He said that it was for guests. But I saw Commander-in-chief often drink coffee.”
“Hahaha!” Yi Yunrui laughs happily, “Let’s go. We are going to Commander Xie’s.”
Commander Xie is not talkative. He is not a showman. However, Yi Yunrui knows Commander Xie very well. Commander Xie is nearly fifty. If he plays the strategies, he has few rivals. He is the typical one of those talented people who may never do. But when they do, they succeed.
As to Yi Yunrui, Commander Xie often chats with him and plays jokes on him like a child. He treats Yi Yunrui totally differently as if Yi Yunrui is his commander.
Ha. He bought the coffee. It is said to be for guests. How can Yi Yunrui not know the truth?
In the C City Media Building.
Li Baoer strokes her belly, “Wow. I am really too full. I have to get it well digested after going back.”
Xia Ning asks, “Do you mean to drink something by saying ‘well digested’?”
“That is smart. Ning, do you think drinking coffee can consume calories?”
“Coffee can refresh us, but it will kill the sugar in our brain. I haven’t studied whether it can consume calories or not. However, it is said that people drinking coffee will get fatter.”
“Ah? Get fatter.” Li Baoer curls her lip and strokes her head, “I would rather go to drink tea. Otherwise Zhongheng will be scared if he sees me get fatter.”
“That’s silly.” Xia Ning lightly touches her forehead, “Colonel Dai loves you so much. How can he dislike your being fatter? He may be happy to find you fatter.”
“Really?” Li Baoer doubts about that. Then, she laughs, “Haha. I know Zhongheng will be a good husband.”
Xia Ning smiles. But she gives a sigh in her heart.
She wonders what Baoer will think when she meets Zhenzhen.
“Well, didn’t you say that you will have a meeting this afternoon? Do you like me to help?”
Xia Ning shakes her head, “No need now. After all, you don’t belong to my department. You may go back to the News Department. I will call you for help when I need.”
Li Baoer blinks her eyes, “Really? Fine. I may go back first. Ning, Editor Leng said that the core work for me during these days is to help you arrange the Entertainment Department. You don’t need to worry that you may disturb me. Editor Leng has given the instruction. No one will be hard on me.”
“Hum. Don’t worry. If there is any difficulty, I will surely call you at once.” Xia Ning feels warm. Baoer is more considerate to her than a real sister.
However, Baoer doesn’t belong to her department. To avoid the gossip of other people he has to think for the benefit of Baoer.
Xia Ning goes back and gets the documents ready for the meeting. She has been waiting for the supervisors of all the sections in the meeting room before two o’clock.
Gu Ruoruo puts the documents on the U shaped desk. One portion for one person. She is busy preparing tea.
All the people arrive around two. Xia Ning opens the file and glances at the supervisors present at the meeting. Then, she blinks her eyes and closes the file.
“Let’s begin. First of all, I want to apologize for my quitting issue some time ago. I also hope that you can kindly understand. Now, I have completed my personal issue and resumed my normal work in the Entertainment Department. I hope you all can cooperate with me and release more colorful news for the Entertainment Department.”
Xia Ning glances at all the people present there.
Hearing what she says, many people react differently in their eyes and expressions. It is imaginable that they have quite some disagreements with her. Fine, she holds the meeting to solve this problem.
“Now, each supervisor will give a report and summary for the recent work.”
Xia Ning finishes her speech. He stretches out her hand aside, “Supervisor Wu of Editing Section, you may start.”
Supervisor Wu is almost forty years old. She has been working in World Era Weekly for almost ten years. She is a senior employee here. When she hears Xia Ning’s words, she takes a sip of the tea and gives a light cough, “Director Xia, everyone knows that you quitted for half a month. During the period, all the supervisors of the sections cooperated with each other well. No problems occurred in the Entertainment Department. However, I have some words to say. Director Xia, please don’t be angry.”
Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips, “The purpose of having a meeting is to speak out the problems and deal with them. Supervisor Wu, you may feel free to say.”
Supervisor Wu thinks for a while. She holds her hands and turns to Xia Ning, “Director Xia, you became the Director of Entertainment Department at such a young age. During the two years, you basically can handle the job independently. I admired you in this aspect. However, I have to mention one thing. Two weeks ago, Director Xia suddenly quitted the job. It was an irresponsible and harmful action both to the company and to the department. It is known to all that the company doesn’t pay attention to personal background. I don’t care how superior the background you may have. Director Xia, would you please explain about the reasons for your quitting? Or, if this ever happens again, we really can’t be convinced.”
People hear what Supervisor says and begin to whisper to each other. They show different expressions and seem to wait to see what will happen.
Xia Ning sneers at them in her heart. It seems that the apparent harmony in the Entertainment Department is going to be broken.
“Then, what reasons is Supervisor Wu expecting to hear? I mean, what reasons I may tell to make you convinced and forgive me?” Xia Ning asks as a response.
Supervisor Wu is little confused, “Director Xia, excuse me. I don’t understand what you mean. As to what reasons, you may speak out frankly. Because you are telling it to all of us, so…”
“Because I am telling to all of you, I want to ask. What reason should I tell you on earth so that you can understand and forgive me for my quitting?”
Supervisor Wu feels a little embarrassed to hear this. She darkens her face. She says in a displeased voice, “Sorry. I cause the annoyance. I shouldn’t have asked that. Director Xia, please forgive me. Please ignore my question.”
Xia Ning is going to respond when a coy voice is heard, “Ah. Supervisor Wu, you want to know too much. Isn’t there the right of privacy? Supervisor Wu, you crossed the boundary by asking the question. Anyway, Director Xia is the favor of the company. She is popular with the Director. It is a great honor for us to work under Director Xia! What can you ask for? We may go to business directly. Don’t make a fuss about other things.”
