C50 Underground Love Affairs
Xia Jing knew that this was all Shen Ruo Bai's doing.
"Why did you ask Xie Yan to follow me?"
Shen Ruo Bai stopped what she was doing and looked up at the angry little woman at the door of the study. She rubbed the space between her eyebrows, "You've just entered society, so I'm worried about you. Let Xie Yan protect you."
"What are you so worried about? I'm already so old! Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou only took my drink today and was beaten up by Xie Yan. How do you think I should face Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou in the future?" When Xia Jing thought about it, she felt depressed. It was only her first day at work, and she had already offended her colleague. How was she supposed to face everyone in the future?
"Since it's hard to face him, why don't you quit your job? It's not like I can't afford to raise you. Don't go to the newspaper."
"Shen Ruo Bai, what's going on? Didn't you promise me to go to work? Yesterday, you even said that my job was good, so why don't you want me to go now?"
"Then can you tell me the truth? Why did you choose to go to the newspaper?" Shen Ruo Bai stared at her with a cold expression, and her dark eyes darkened.
Xia Jing felt a little guilty when he looked at her, but she still said confidently, "Why do you need to do this? Then why did you start the Shen family business?"
"I did it to support you." His answer was very straightforward.
Xia Jing was speechless. After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't let Xie Yan follow me. I'm just going to work, not to do anything dangerous, so I don't need anyone to protect me."
After saying that, she went straight back to her bedroom.
Shen Ruo Bai helplessly leaned back in her chair and raised her head to look at the ceiling, sighing for a long time.
There were some things that he couldn't hide just because he wanted to.
But he kept it a secret... It was all for her own good.
Recalling some things from many years ago, Shen Ruo Bai closed his eyes in pain.
Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou had taken a leave of absence. Other than Huai, no one else from the newspaper company seemed to be willing to talk to Xia Jing. Especially Xu Lu, who was twenty-eight years old. Perhaps it was because of her endocrine disorder, she was not easy to get along with. Now, she was emitting an aura that no one dared to get close to her. No one dared to provoke her. Xia Jing did not dare to because Huai had said that Xu Lu had a crush on Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou, but Senior-apprentice Brother Zhou turned around and tried to be friendly with her. Xu Lu must hate her to death.
The real workplace was indeed different from what she had imagined. There was no warm atmosphere, no colleagues who were as close as sisters. There was only strict work and occasional scheming.
"Xia Jing, the editor is looking for you. He wants you to go for a while."
It was rare that other than Huai, there was a colleague who took the initiative to speak to him on behalf of Old Wang.
Xia Jing agreed. She saved the document in her hand and quickly went to the Head Editor's office.
At first, Xia Jing was worried that the editor-in-chief, Old Wang, was a vulgar man. It was not without reason. After all, he had all the qualities that vulgar men had. He was a short man of 1.6 meters, with a round figure, and his hair was so bald that there were not many strands left. When he spoke, the fierce muscles on his face would tremble. He did not look like a good person.
However, Huai's judgment of people was quite accurate. If she said that Old Wang was a good person, he was definitely not a bad person.
Therefore, Xia Jing was not worried. She went in and knocked on the door. "Editor-in-Chief, are you looking for me?"
"Little Xia, please take a seat." Old Wang used to study computer programming and liked it very much. It was probably because the newspaper office had been too free recently that he was tapping on the code at the moment.
Xia Jing nodded and looked around. This small editorial room was filled with newspapers and magazines. It was very chaotic. Her eyes inadvertently drifted to a few sexy photos, causing Xia Jing's face to turn red. She quickly averted her gaze.
Thinking about it for a moment, she realized that something was amiss. She turned around and looked carefully, only to see that the woman in the sexy bikini was the model that was currently popular in Shen Ruo Bai's company, Qiao Le Yan.
When she thought of Qiao Le Yan, Xia Jing felt as if there was something stuck in her heart. It made her feel uncomfortable, and her face couldn't help but turn a little unsightly.
Old Wang noticed her reaction, "You know this person?"
When Xia Jing came to his place for the interview, he already felt that this person was not an ordinary person. After all, she was so young and beautiful to get a doctorate at the age of twenty. Why would she come to a small place like his for an interview?
However, seeing that she was honest and hardworking at work, he did not think too much about it. Perhaps she just wanted to experience life.
"I don't know her." He had met her once before, so it couldn't be considered as knowing her.
Old Wang nodded. At this time, the code was already typed. He took Qiao Le Yan's sexy photo and said seriously, I don't know." She used to be an peripheral model, but because she would take on some supporting roles from time to time, she could barely be considered a small celebrity. However, this year, she was suddenly signed by a big company of the Shen family and was supported by them. Now, she has become famous and has been noticed by a lot of people.
You know, what we do for the news is to stir up topics of conversation. The more exciting the topic is, the better. Since she entered the Shen Family Enterprise, there have been rumors that she and her boss have an ambiguous relationship. They might be lovers underground, but we have never been able to get any concrete evidence.
But today our people from the newspaper took a picture of Shen Ruo Bai taking her to a bar. Shen Ruo Bai is her boss, and I don't know if you noticed, but he never had any scandals with these people, and he never brought any women to social gatherings. I think the two of them have probably established a relationship.
I have a few photos here. Go and write a report on their underground relationship. Remember, as long as we do the news, the more explosive the better. Don't write about it too boringly. You said that this young man and woman will always have something happen when they go to a bar and drink a little ..."
When Xia Jing heard the end, she was already in a daze. She did not listen to what Old Wang said after that.
Shen Ruo Bai actually brought Qiao Le Yan to a bar...
She had been telling herself with all her might to believe in him, to believe in him. Qiao Le Yan was just a model in his company, and he was only flattering her to earn money for the Shen company. The two of them might not have that kind of relationship.
But the evidence was right in front of her, how could she not lie to herself?
Since there were other women in his heart, then what about the various feelings he had for her? Was it an act? Or was it that all men were good at lying to women?
Squatting powerlessly in the bathroom, Xia Jing dialed Shen Ruo Bai's number, "Ruo Bai, where are you right now?"
"I'm at work. What is it? Did you miss me?"
"Yeah, go back to work. I won't disturb you anymore." After hanging up the phone, Xia Jing buried her head in her knees and cried silently.
Once the secret relationship between Shen Ruo Bai and Qiao Le Yan was exposed, the entire internet exploded.
Xie Yan couldn't find Shen Ruo Bai for the time being, so he could only hurry to find Li Nan, "What should we do? Big brother said that we can't allow this kind of news to appear. But I think this news comes from Lan Tian News Agency. I suspect that other than sister-in-law, no one else would dare to write it. Besides, look at the tone between the lines."
