Chapter 56 She Comes (1/2)
“You’ve gone to C City?”
Xia Ning is slightly surprised. There is something wrong in Li Baoer’s tone. She doesn’t sound as active as before. Instead, it implies some other emotions.
“Hum, I am in C City. Sorry. I don’t feel well these days, so I didn’t inform you.”
“Oh. Commander Yi also went back?”
“Yes.”
It is silent for a while. Then, Li Baoer says, “Xia Ning, I want to tell you that Ou Yixuan is not the director now.”
“What? What happened?” Ou Yixuan is not the director. He has fought many years to earn this position!
“It is said that it has something to do with the incident related with you. Chairman Xiao is going to have an interior clean-up, so he is told to have a long holiday.”
“Well. How is he now?”
“Are you worried about him?”
“I am just curious. After all, I know him for a long time.”
“Oh. I am afraid that you still care for him. You scare me! He deserves it. Well, I have another thing to tell you.”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Miss Li, when did you become so irresolute?”
“I am decisive in this thing! I quitted. I am not working in TIME now.”
Xia Ning is shocked, “Quitted? Do your parents know it?”
Gosh. The income of Li Baoer’s family is not good, and it totally depends on her. Why did she quit her job?
“They know. After that incident, I think my life is more important. B City is too complicated and I dare not to stay there any longer. Anyway, with my ability, I can work anywhere. I may go somewhere else to work.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “Do you want to work in C City? I am worrying that I don’t have any friends here. If you come here, we will be together again.”
“Miss Xia, Director Gu only admires you. Besides, there are so many talents in World Era TV Station. You know, I don’t have a good education background, so they will not have me.”
“When did you get to belittle yourself? Who knows what will happen in the future? Have a try first. Come to C City. You can try to hunt for a job. At least, you have me here. Don’t you?”
Li Baoer is quiet at the other end for quite a while. Then she takes a deep breath and says, “OK. Xia Ning. I agree with what you said. Even if the sky falls down, I gotta have a try first. I am coming tomorrow. You don’t hate my disturbing!”
“It is silly. I am happy that you can come. I will not hate you bothering me. When you arrive tomorrow, call me and I will go to pick you up. Well, do you have any place to stay in C City?”
“I have a classmate there. I will stay at her house for some days. After I get a job, I will move out to rent a house.”
“That will do. See you tomorrow.” Although the house here is big, she is married and it is not convenient to have her here. It’s good to arrange like this for now.
“Good. Well, bye.”
Li Baoer hangs up. Xia Ning smiles and puts her phone away.
“Is she coming tomorrow?” Yi Yunrui asks.
Xia Ning nods, “It was the kidnapping that influences her because of me. She is really not very happy working in Time these years. It may be better for her to have a change. I am really sorry for her.”
Yi Yunrui reaches his hand to stroke her forehead, “Li Baoer is a nice person. I am happy for you that she can come to C City.”
Xia Ning’s eyes brighten, “Rui, do you agree, too?” She was worrying that Yi Yunrui might not agree with that.
“You Little Fool, that is your friend. In addition, when I am not at home, you don’t have to stay alone now. Well. Are you going to pick her up tomorrow?”
“Hum.”
Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and says, “I am going to have a meeting tomorrow and will not have time for the whole day… Well, Dai Zhongheng happens to go to the airport tomorrow. I will ask him to drive you there.”
“It is no need. I may feel embarrassed to have Colonel Dai pick us up especially.”
“It is fine. I will arrange it.” Yi Yunrui pulls her to the bed and opens the quilt, “Come here to have a rest. Lunch will be ready when you wake up.”
It seems that the Army Commander is going to prepare lunch for her…
Xia Ning blinks her eyes, “Don’t you need to go to the Military Region today?”
“Hum. I will stay with you.” Saying this, he helps her take off the coat.
“Then…will you show me around downtown after lunch?” Tomorrow, Li Baoer will arrive. She wants to get familiar with the place first.
“OK.” Yi Yunrui responds quickly and helps her lie down.
The bed is big, soft and smells good. What is surprised is that she doesn’t feel sleepy, but she wants to close her eyes once lying down. She gives a great yawn.
Yi Yunrui looks at her lovingly with a pampering smile and covers the quilt for her.
He can’t help stroking her hair and looking at her for quite a while before he walks away.
Yi Yunrui glances at the clock on the wall. It is ten o’clock. He walks to the living room and opens the refrigerator when his phone rings. He looks at the phone. It is from the Military Region.
He frowns slightly and presses the button, “Hello, Commander.”
