Chapter 546 All Are Cleared Out
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
As for something, it will be better to confess yourself than to be said by others.
Such is the case with Jing Shu now.
If she told Xia Ning about this in private, Xia Ning might try to make the mistake less serious. But it will be quite severe if An Lingxi says that.
Customer is the king, so spilling coffee on “God” is a blasphemy.
Moreover, colleagues outside are keeping an eye on this. If Xia Ning gives unprincipled protection to Jing Shu, she will be likely to give cause for gossip.
Jing Shu knows clearly the case. Seeing that Xia Ning frowns, Jing Shu says, “Sister Xia, I was just going to tell you about it. It’s the right time that Deputy Editor An says that. Just act in accordance with the rules and regulations.”
Xia Ning hesitates for a moment.
What Jing Shu did is indeed a major breach of protocol. In fact, public criticism at the meeting is enough because Beitang Xiu didn’t make a clean breast of it. Moreover, Jing Shu never made such a mistake before. But An Lingxi’s presence indicates that she will not let it go easily.
An Lingxi speaks harshly at last. If Xia Ning doesn’t handle it properly this time, there will be some gossips.
“Shu, you are under the weather, aren’t you?” Xia Ning says in a low voice.
Jing Shu’s mouth tightens and she knows that Sister Xia is “giving her a chance”. Sister Xia is waiting for her to say yes.
But she’d better not tell a lie, especially when Sister Xia will fall into the hands of others.
“Not at all.” Jing Shu shakes her head and says, “I was absent-minded outside just now, spilling coffee on young master Beitang Xiu. Everyone is watching this, and it’s my fault. Just punish me, Sister Xia.”
Xia Ning sighs and thinks Jing Shu is so childish…
“I need to get it clear first. You and I are going to apologize to Mr. Beitang personally. Jing Shu, your bonus for this month will be deducted for serious violations. If it happens again, you won’t get paid.”
Jing Shu feels nervous and says with a nod, “Correct. Thank you, Sister Xia. It’s my fault whatsoever. I will apologize to Mr. Beitang today…”
“Apology is a must. I’ll talk to Chief Editor Xia about how to apologize.” An Lingxi says, “Chief Editor Xia, Jing Shu is your assistant. So, I am not supposed to ask for more. It stands to reason that one month’s bonus is deducted, but the colleagues outside will not know about it. I think it’s better to do something outwardly.”
Xia Ning says after a pause, “So what’s your opinion, Deputy Editor An?”
Glancing at Xiaoniao and Man, An Lingxi thinks it over and says, “There are enough assistants in the chief editor’s office, so Jing Shu is supposed to work outside. It will do her better than harm. In addition, some guests are not pleased to see assistants working inside the office. Actually, it’s just my point of view. Chief Editor Xia, you can judge on your own.”
“Not a good idea.” Jing Shu is anxious and refuses on the spot, “I can’t move outside.”
She is called in for a particular reason. Not only is she the assistant of Sister Xia, but she is also her bodyguard.
“Oh?” An Lingxi raises her eyebrows and says with a weird tone, “It seems that something is going on inside…”
Hearing from that, Jing Shu is unpleasant and said, “Deputy Editor An, it’s nothing wrong to stay in the office. Don’t worry. Man, Xiaoniao, and I, none of us can work outside.”
“Shu.” Xia Ning sighs and says, “Deputy Editor An is right. Just pack up and go back to your original seat.”
Jing Shu is shocked and says, “Sister Xia, that won’t do. I am about to…”
“End the story. Pack up right now.”
There are indeed problems with having so many people working in the chief editor’s office. But it is what Yi Yunrui suggested.
With her fists clenched tightly, Jing Shu casts her eyes on Man and Xiaoniao to expect some prayers.
Man and Xiaoniao look at each other and wonder whether to speak. Right at the time, Xia Ning says, “Man and Xiaoniao, go with Jing Shu. Just remember two seats should be made available for them, Shu.”
“Sister Xia!”
“Enough, that’s it.” Xia Ning touches her forehead and says, “Now, all three of you go out first. I will talk to Deputy Editor An.”
Jing Shu feels wronged and Man and Xiaoniao go out of the chief editor’s office with a dull expression. Glaring at An Lingxi, Jing Shu thinks An Lingxi is not as good as before.
From her point of view, An Lingxi is worse than Leng Weiwei.
Gritting her teeth, Jing Shu sees Christine looking at her when she turns around. At that moment, she is so discouraged that she wants to scream.
Perhaps, Christine will tell Zhang Hai what happened today. And that will be humiliating for her.
Seeing that Xiaoniao, Man, and Jing Shu are all out, Christine says to An Lingxi and Xia Ning, “I’ll take up no more of your time, and get back to my work.”
With that, Christine turns around, goes out, and closes the door.
There are only two, Xia Ning and An Lingxi, left in the chief editor’s office. An Lingxi says, “Shu hates me so much now. Chief Editor Xia, do you think I’ve gone too far?”
“Rules and regulations have to do their part. You are right.” A workable good-cop, bad-cop routine should be carried out in any company.
Xia Ning figures it will be okay though she cannot bear to punish Jing Shu.
“I’ll be harder on Christine if she ever makes a mistake.”
Xia Ning smiles and nods. She knows exactly An Lingxi will do as what she tells and says, “Lingxi, Mr. Beitang came to me for an exclusive by World Era Weekly. I want you to do the job for me.”
Something seems to cross An Lingxi’s mind and she says, “Is there any information about Mr. Beitang?”
“I will get the files for you and you need to be prepared.”
“Chief Editor Xia, Mr. Beitang came here to visit you. It stands to reason that it is better for you to interview him personally. Why do you leave that to me?”
Xia Ning pauses and says, “I have an unpleasant time with Tianyu Entertainment Company several days ago, so I can’t show up currently.”
“So…” An Lingxi knows a lot about Xia Ning and Huo Zhanpeng. Huo Zhanpeng is just detained by the police. At this juncture, Xia Ning has better not show up in Tianyu.
“OK, I’m clear. Just rest assured. Once you’ve got the materials, I’ll start working on the interview transcript and try to get the exclusive settled.”
Xia Ning nods. And then her phone rings, and it is from Yi Yunrui.
Glancing at Xia Ning, An Lingxi rises to her feet and says, “I’m gonna get out of your hair and go back to my office.”
“All right. Sorry to trouble you.”
When An Lingxi leaves the office, Xia Ning presses the answer button and says, “Dear, is your meeting over?”
“Yes. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”
“Business matters. You are telling a more important story.”
“Dear.” Yi Yunrui calls Xia Ning and says after a pause, “You don’t have to be so kind.”
Xia Ning is made awkward and laughs out loud. Yi Yunrui is telling her not to be so kind, but his tongue is more friendly than hers. So, Xia Ning says, “Well, Commander Yi, you seem to be more or less jealous?”
“Ha-ha, I am not used to the way of speaking.” There will be no flattery between them. Yi Yunrui says, “Dear, what’s up?”
“Do you know about Mr. Beitang?”
Yi Yunrui pauses for a moment and says, “Dear, I will tell it to you when we get home.”
“All right.” What Yi Yunrui says seems to indicate that it is not the right time to speak on the line. So, Beitang Xiu is likely to be very influential.
As if remembering something, Xia Ning says, “Dear, will you mind taking Shu to a coffee shop tonight?”
“Um?”
“She spilled coffee on Mr. Beitang, so It’s better to apologize to him tonight.”
“… Is that so? Should we apologize in person? Is Mr. Beitang?”
“Not really. Deputy Editor An told me about that, but Mr. Beitang hasn’t said a word. However, lots of people know about that. It’s better to do something on the table.”
“Oh…” Yi Yunrui replies meaningfully.
“Well, Mr. Beitang preferred Jing Shu’s way of making coffee and said it will be better if she gets trained. I’m not that sure about Mr. Beitang’s preference. What’s your opinion, dear?”
“Just let them meet and have a talk.”
“All right.” Now that Yi Yunrui says that, it will be natural that the apology should be made tonight. Xia Ning says, “I get two hours before off duty. Dear, I need to get some things done. See you later.”
Yi Yunrui continues smiling after the phone call is hung up.
It seems that Jing Shu is a bit unusual to Beitang Xiu.
A woman suddenly strikes Yi Yunrui the moment he puts down the phone.
An Lingxi.
She is the deputy editor of World Era Weekly. The person Xia Ning just said is her.
Apologize in person… Yi Yunrui is pondering when he receives a message.
“Commander, Xiaoniao is cleared out by An Lingxi. What should we do next?”
Yi Yunrui pauses a minute and calls Yi Yuntian.
“Yunrui, what’s up? Do you miss me?”
Yi Yuntian is in a noisy place. It is likely that he is outside.
“Good to talk?”
Yi Yuntian looks somewhere else and says, “Sure, go ahead.”
“When will Leng Weiwei be back to World Era Weekly?”
“…” Yi Yuntian is shocked. Leng Weiwei is his woman, but he is almost the last to know about her vacation.
His brother tells him in person, making him think that there is no love in the world.
