Chapter 472: Another Letter of Appointment

“Commander, as to that woman…” Zhang Hai hesitates at the other end of the phone, “Wan Liqing said that she didn’t know her. She didn’t see clearly the woman’s face when she passed the video to her. She didn’t know the name of her, either. She said that she knew nothing about her except hearing her voice.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and asks, “Did Wan Liqing remember when she met this woman and got the video from her?”

“Yes, she did.”

“Good. Keep an eye on her. Tell Director Tong to take her to the police office.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Yi Yunrui still wants to say something. However, his phone rings for another call. It is Gu Luan.

Gu Luan?

“Zhang Hai, keep me posted with any news.” Then, not waiting for Zhang Hai’s responses, Yi Yunrui presses the answer button. He glances at his wife and says, “Hello, Mr. Gu.”

Hearing the words Mr. Gu, Xia Ning widens her eyes. She looks at Yi Yunrui in surprise.

“Commander Yi, … is Ning with you?” Gu Luan’s voice sounds very weak at the other end of the phone. However, by comparison, he seems to be better.

“Yes. Do you want to speak to her?”

“No need. Commander Yi, can you two come to the hospital now?”

Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning arrive at Gu Luan’s ward in the C City Military Region Hospital.

Gu Luan looks very pale. He is having infusion on his hand while there are a few inspection instruments around. However, generally speaking, he looks better.

When Gu Luan sees Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning, his eyes gleam with complicated emotion. He looks at Xia Ning for quite a while and says, “Ning, all these days, I have brought trouble and inconvenience to you. I am sorry. I am not trying to deny my responsibility. After I get better, I will go to give myself up and confess everything.”

Xia Ning purses her lips. Actually, Gu Luan didn’t commit serious crimes while Jiang Yongran didn’t turn him in – to be exact, Jiang Yongran avoided this issue during the inquiry. With his background, Gu Luan can’t be sentenced to any serious punishments.

If Gu Luan gives himself up, he will lose all the achievements he has worked hard to make.

Is he really willing to do that?

Isn’t the consequence too bad?

“Are you… really going to give yourself up?” Xia Ning asks. Actually, she wants to ask Gu Luan to think it over again.

Gu Luan looks at Xia Ning for another while. He lowers his head and gives a sigh, “I can’t face myself and I can’t face someone, either. Ning, you don’t need to persuade me.”

When Gu Luan says someone, he means Xia Ning.

Xia Ning understands. However, because Yi Yunrui is here while he knows nothing about what happened between Gu Luan and her, it is inconvenient for her to talk about some issues.

Gu Luan turns to Yi Yunrui. He pats on Xia Ning’s hand and says, “Ning, you are really married to a great husband. Commander Yi … is a nice guy.”

This is the truth. Though he denied this in his heart all the time. Most of the time, he doesn’t like Yi Yunrui. However, every time, when Xia Ning is in danger, it is always Yi Yunrui who protects her safely.

It is correct that he spent more time staying with Xia Ning, but Yi Yunrui understands better what Xia Ning wants than he does.

It is ironic that all the time, he has been creating trouble for Xia Ning, though he always says that he has been protecting her.

Xia Ning feels a little sad. She doesn’t know what she can say to comfort him. She is clear that Gu Luan loves her and she understands how difficult it is for Gu Luan to say these words.

After quite a while, Xia Ning responds, “Director Gu, thank you.”

Gu Luan gently smiles. He shakes his head, “Ning, I am not a director any longer. You really need to call me Luan in the future.”

Xia Ning feels shocked, “Not a director? What happened?”

Gu Luan takes out a document from the drawer beside him. He passes it to Xia Ning, “Ning, this is a Letter of Appointment from the headquarters of World Era Weekly in the US, you may read it carefully yourself.”

Xia Ning takes over the Letter of Appointment. When she reads it, she is shocked by surprise!

The Letter of Appointment is for her. She is appointed as the Director of World Era Weekly in the Asian areas!

God. It means that she is the boss of World Era Weekly in China! That is an important position!

Does she make any mistakes?

All these years, she has been dreaming of becoming a director. She thought that she might not be able to make this dream realized all her life. However, the Letter of Appointment seriously tells her the truth: yes, she is the director now!

She is the director of World Era Weekly!

Xia Ning reads it carefully many times. She feels excited. But she can hardly believe it. She asks, “Director Gu, seriously, what’s this?”

“Because of my health condition, I quitted from World Era Weekly. The headquarter asked me to recommend to someone to them. I recommended you. And the headquarters approved it.”

Xia Ning feels surprised.

Gu Luan explains very clearly. But as a matter of fact, how can it be so easy? World Era Weekly is always in the frontier of trends. It is a world-famous weekly with authority. Every one of its employees is chosen based on strict standards, not to mention the senior managing staff. Even if Gu Luan recommends her, there will still be all those tests to pass before she is approved. She can’t believe that she is promoted so easily with the simple recommendation of Gu Luan.

Gu Luan is aware of Xia Ning’s confusion. He adds, “Ever since you were elected the best employee, the headquarters has been paying attention to you. They sent many people to test you. You fool, you don’t know how many tests you have passed, do you? Actually, when I said that I would quit, the headquarters mentioned you and I agreed with them.”

“Director Gu, this…”

Gu Luan waves his hand to motion Xia Ning to stop speaking, “Ning, you are given this position for your capability. I am only supporting the promotion. After I get better, I will give myself up to the police. I don’t know what the punishment will be. Anyway, I have fought for over ten years. I think I need to have a rest now. Maybe I will go to the US. What I am going to do will be something to be decided in a few years.”

“Director Gu, do you think it worthy of giving up everything? Is it necessary?”

Gu Luan turns to Xia Ning. He smiles, “Again, don’t call me Director Gu. Will you? I am not a director now. Whether it is worthy or not…Ahem!”

Gu Luan hasn’t finished his words when he coughs. Xia Ning goes to get some water for him at once. At this time, Yi Yunrui passes a cup of warm water to her. Xia Ning takes it over and smiles at her husband. She passes the water to Gu Luan, “You may drink some water first. You have just got better. Don’t speak so much.”

“Thank you.” Gu Luan takes over the water for a sip. After a while, he continues, “We have to pause, sometimes. We pause and think about what we are going to do next and how to do it.”

Xia Ning slightly frowns. She suddenly holds Gu Luan’s hand and says, “Luan, what happened has passed. I know you have done a lot to make it up. Actually, I don’t blame you. In my opinion, Aunt Zhou wouldn’t blame you, either. You don’t need to torture yourself in this way. If you go to give yourself in, you will have some stains in your life. You may consider taking other ways or things to make it up.”

Gu Luan glances at Xia Ning’s hand. He feels warm, but also a little sad in his heart.

It has been a long time. He has imagined thousands of times that he holds Ning’s hand. They wander all over the world and spend their life together.

“Ning, don’t worry about me. I have carefully thought it over. You don’t need to persuade me, either.” Gu Luan says and slowly draws his hand away. He pats on the Letter of Appointment, “Ning, your wish is to become a director. Now, your dream comes true.”

Gu Luan smiles and continues, “Anyway, to be honest, it is not easy to be a director. Ning, you really need to think about it carefully.”

Xia Ning blinks her eyes. What Gu Luan says is not a threat. It is the truth.

It is not easy to be a director. Gu Luan has been one for so long a time mainly because of his strong family background.

While Xia Ning… well, her husband is Yi Yunrui. She is guaranteed in the matter of background.

As to her personal capability, she has been working in the news industry for almost ten years. She is confident with herself in the aspect of work experience.

Therefore, she believes that she can do the director job’s well!

Besides, Yi Yunrui will be with her. She has nothing to fear.

Her lovely husband said that no matter what trouble she might cause, he would help her do the cleanup.

However, does her husband agree with her becoming the director?

Thinking about this, Xia Ning turns to Gu Luan and asks, “Luan, did the headquarters say when I was required to reply to them? Do I need to reply at once?”

“This Letter of Appointment has just arrived today. The headquarters requires a response within three days. Ning, you may think carefully about it. You are pregnant now. It is quite a hard job.” Gu Luan turns to Yi Yunrui and says slowly, “It is a real burden. I hope Commander Yi can help you bear some.”

The two men look at each other in the eyes. Something unusually can be smelt in the air. Yi Yunrui takes a step forward. He puts his hands on his wife’s shoulder. He says word by word, “Mr. Gu, don’t worry. Ning is my wife. I will support her all my life.”

They have another brief conversation. Since Gu Luan is still weak, after a while, Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui left the hospital.

Xia Ning holds the Letter of Appointment tightly in her hand. She feels very excited. Yi Yunrui notices the excitement on his wife’s face. He looks at her sincerely with vague pride and admiration in his eyes. Unconsciously, he puts on a smile on his face.

His wife is awesome!

Suddenly, as if she suddenly remembers something, Xia Ning cries worriedly, “Shit! I was too excited just now and forgot an important issue!”

Yi Yunrui holds her hand, “What’s the matter?”

Xia Ning frowns. Actually, it is not about an issue. It is about a person!

“It is about Chief Editor Leng. Her position is higher than mine. She has been working for a longer time than me in World Era Weekly. Now, I am becoming a director. I wonder what she will think…”

Leng Weiwei always looks cool as if she doesn’t care about anything. However, it is a cruel truth that Xia Ning becomes her superior. It is totally reasonable for her to feel displeased.

If Leng Weiwei is unhappy, it may lead to some conflicts between them. Then, it will be troublesome if her eldest brother Yi Yuntian knows it!
