C28 Two Conditions
Clenching her fists tightly, Xia Ning tried her best to control her emotions. It was useless to argue with Xiao Tingting at this time. Xiao Tingting was her superior. No matter how much she argued, it would be her loss.
"Okay, I will give you an interview five days later. I will work first." Xia Ning said and prepared to work hard.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Tingting looked at her slender fingers. "There are no more snacks in the staff room. Go and prepare them. Purchase the bill and buy them all the same."
After throwing a piece of paper on Xia Ning's table, Xiao Tingting turned around and left.
There were at least a few dozen kinds of snacks on the paper. Xia Ning took a few deep breaths to stabilize her emotions. It seemed that in these five days, other than Director Li's interview, she also had to accept all kinds of blame from Xiao Tingting.
Taking the paper, Xia Ning estimated the time needed to buy snacks and then looked at Li Zhengde's information. She planned to meet Li Zhengde's interview time when she went out to buy snacks later.
After strolling in the supermarket for an hour, Xia Ning bought all the snacks. After getting a taxi back to the company, Xiao Tingting already had no idea where she was. After taking a light breath, she spent half an hour. Xia Ning put the snacks away like snacks.
Looking at the time, it was 3: 30 PM in the afternoon. Xia Ning set off to Li Group Company.
Li Group's headquarters was located at the busiest commercial street in the city center. The office building with more than 50 floors looked grand and magnificent from the outside.
Xia Ning reported her identity and then went outside the General Manager's room. After seeing Director Li's secretary, she expressed her intentions once again. When the secretary heard that she was a reporter, her face immediately turned cold. She said, "I'll go and ask Director Li what he wants. Wait a moment."
Then the secretary went back. Xia Ning waited for more than an hour.
It was only when she was about to get off work that the secretary appeared and let her into the office.
This made Xia Ning very surprised. She thought that she would have to wait until tomorrow.
The office was very large. Behind it was the floor-to-ceiling glass. A man in a dark grey suit stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass. The man's body was slightly fat and he was of medium height. He had a big cigar in his mouth. His back was straight, and he must be standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass to look at the people below. He was busy and felt a sense of accomplishment at the moment.
"Hello, Director Li. I am a reporter from Times Magazine, Xia Ning." Xia Ning smiled and introduced herself.
She opened her mouth and spat out a big smoke ring. Lee Dezheng did not answer her.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, but Xia Ning was calm and composed. "Chief Lee is the leading figure in B City's economy, the model for successful people. The leading figure in the upper society, our Times Magazine wants to do an interview with you. Is it convenient for you, Chief Li? Maybe we can make an appointment... "
" Is your Chief Editor Xiao Tingting? "
Before Xia Ning could finish, Lee Dezheng interrupted her. His voice rose slightly, making people feel arrogant and condescending.
"Yes, Director Li. Is Director Li an acquaintance of our Chief Editor Xiao?"
Lee Dezheng turned around and saw Xia Ning. His triangular eyes flashed and his dark red lips pulled out a sinister smile. "Not familiar, but I want to make friends with her."
When these words came out, Xia Ning was quick-witted in her heart!
Lee Dezheng's words did not have good intentions!
"Manager Li, I will tell Chief Editor Xiao. If possible, I can arrange a meeting, but Director Xiao has been busy recently, maybe..."
"Little kid, don't try to play tricks on me. " Lee Dezheng narrowed his eyes. "Let me make it clear to you. You can give me an interview, but two conditions. I'm very generous, and I'll accept one of them. Otherwise, there's no need to talk about it."
" Director Li, please speak "
"First, let Xiao Tingting come out and have a meal with me. I choose the place to eat. Second, "Lee Dezheng stopped and walked in front of Xia Ning. His inverted triangular eyes swept across her body impudently. He smiled vulgarly. " Second, you will accompany me for the night. "
Xia Ning did not expect Lee Dezheng to say such naked words. She felt disgusted and took a step back. "Director Li, please respect me!"
It seemed that the rumors outside were true. Lee Dezheng was a rogue, a ruffian!
Lee Dezheng raised his eyebrows and raised his voice. "Why would I not respect you!? Let me tell you, how many women want to climb onto my bed? I'm giving you a chance! Don't you not know how to appreciate favors! "
Xia Ning gritted her teeth and resisted the urge to punch him in the face. She patiently said, "Director Li, your interview was purely arranged by the company. My relationship with you is only limited to our work relationship. As for your two requests, the second one, I refuse. First, I will go back and ask Chief Editor Xiao. Then I'll reply to you. "
"Hmph!" Lee Dezheng coldly snorted and said, "Woman, you still want to whet my appetite and raise your own value? Xiao Tingting still has the capital. If it were you, you might still make me interested in you when you go to bed. I will give you two hours to tell me what Xiao Tingting wants. Get out! "
Xia Ning's heart felt stifled and her eyes immediately became blurry. She stubbornly turned around and hurriedly ran out of the office.
Suppressing her tears, Xia Ning lowered her head and walked out of the office building. She called a taxi and when she got into the car, she finally could not hold back her tears.
Seeing her crying so sadly, the driver only asked her after a long while, "Miss, may I ask where you are going?"
Xia Ning took a deep breath and bit her lips, "Anywhere you are going, let's go around first."
"Okay."
She could not return to the company like this. If the company saw her and did not take pleasure in her misfortune, Xiao Tingting's group would definitely add insult to injury.
"I am looking up at the moon..."
At this time, the phone rang. It was Yee Yunrui.
Xia Ning's heart slightly shivered. A strange emotion surged in her heart. At this moment, she really wanted Yee Yunrui to appear beside her.
Wiping away her tears, Xia Ning slowed down and pressed the answer button. "Aren't you busy with work? Call at this time?"
The other end of the phone did not answer immediately. It was actually silent for a few seconds.
" Rui? " Xia Ning frowned slightly. Could it be that Yee Yunrui dialed the wrong number?
"You cried?"
A deep magnetic sound was heard. Xia Ning's heart was suddenly lifted. "No, I didn't. I choked on the water just now. I am now outside, sitting in a taxi."
"Why is it outside?"
"There's an interview at the company, so it's outside..." said Wang Yao.
"Whose interview is it about?"
Yee Yunrui's voice was unusually low, as if he was suppressing something. Xia Ning did not know why but sighed. "Lee Dezheng's interview."
"The chairman of the Li Consortium's multinational group?"
"Yes." Xia Ning nodded her head. "I have to rush out my script these few days. Why don't I hang up for now?"
"Have you been busy all this time? No one often answered the phone calls from the villa. "
"Er... Yes, very busy." It was already past eleven o'clock when he returned to the villa. He had to spend some more time before he could fall asleep.
"Ning, if you have suffered any grievances, tell me immediately. Do you know?"
