Chapter 17 - Shocking Announcement

In the past few days, Su Ruan has been burying herself with work. Her editor-in-chief had assigned her to an important interview and Su Ruan has been doing her research on Blue Media Group and the president of the company, Long Fei.

Su Ruan read the man's biodata that she had obtained from the internet and looked at the man's photograph.

After looking around for a while, Su Ruan realized that there were not many photos of him that she could find online. The photograph that she found was something that she had obtained from Blue Media's official website. Moreover, this photograph was from three years ago.

Although he gave off a cold air around him, Su Ruan could not deny that Long Fei was really good-looking. These days, many women were into this type of man, right?

Once her magazine had interviewed him and published a few photographs of him, it was expected that there would be a lot of people who wanted to buy their magazine.

However, Su Ruan could not help but think that there was something wrong with this situation.

There were many big magazines and media companies that wanted to interview him. They were popular business and financial publications. However, this man had chosen to be interviewed by their magazine.

Did he make a mistake?

Or could it be that his assistant had made a mistake?

'Upcoming' was a small magazine catered for the ladies. Why would he want to be interviewed by this small magazine?

Her hand moved to tap the table with her pen softly. Su Ruan leaned forward to look at the man's photo and clicked her tongue.

"Why do I think that this person looked familiar?" Su Ruan mumbled.

The more she looked at his face, the more that she felt as if she knew him for a long time.

Su Ruan shook her head and quickly dismissed this thought.

Who was she and who was Long Fei? The two of them live in two different worlds. There was no way that she would know someone like him.

"Su Ruan, what are you up to?"

Su Ruan tapped her finger on the mouse and shifted the tab to another report the moment she heard Yan Xi's voice.

Turning around, Su Ruan found Yan Xi carrying a carrier with a few takeout coffees in her hand.

"Director Gao is treating everyone a cup of coffee." Yan Xi said. She took out a cup from the carrier and placed it on Su Ruan's table. "Your favorite is Caramel Latte, right?"

The corner of her lips twitched as she looked at the cup of coffee. She did not doubt that this person had come to her worktable to peek at what she was doing. After all, this would not be the first time that Yan Xi had done this.

Most of the staff in their department knew of Yan Xi's tactic and had tried to avoid her. However, some wanted to get in Yan Xi's side because of her good relationship with Gao Leng

The last time Yan Xi had come to her seat, Su Ruan found that Director Guo had handed him over the article that she was supposed to work on the next day.

"Thank you." She raised her brow and asked, "Do you need anything else from me?"

Yan Xi flashed her an awkward smile. "It's nothing." She peeked at Su Ruan's computer screen and saw that the font was too small for her to read anything. "What are you working on?"

Su Ruan heaved a sigh. "What can I possibly be working on? Director Guo handed over the report that I was supposed to be working on, right? Thanks to you, I won't have anything to do."

Yan Xi's expression turned uglier. "What do you mean by that? It was just that Director Guo had thought that I am more experienced to work on this article. Su Ruan, if you are not satisfied, you can speak with Director Guo and tell him what you think."

Su Ruan shrugged. "Hey, when did I say anything like that? Didn't I just thank you for taking over my workload? Now, I can sit around and still got my paycheck by the end of the month. I'm living the dream."

Yan Xi could see that Su Ruan has been sarcastic towards her. However, she could not come out with an intelligent comeback. Her face turned uglier. In the end, she could only take a step back and leave in dissatisfaction.

The corner of her lips tugged into a sneer as she watched the person turn around to leave. Once Yan Xi was no longer in her eyesight, Su Ruan quickly saved her documents in her Pendrive and closed the window.

This interview with President Long Fei belonged to her. Su Ruan was not going to let Yan Xi steal this task away from her again.

However, Su Ruan had not expected that Yan Xi would be very shameless and full of tricks. Even though Su Ruan and Editor Ji Fan Yin had worked hard to conceal this matter, Yan Xi still found out about this interview.

The next day that Su RUan showed up in the meeting, Guo Leng announced a shocking announcement.

Su Ruan exchanged a look with her editor-in-chief, Ji Fan Yin, both were looking at each other in disbelief.

From the look of it, it did not seem as if her editor knew anything about this news as well.

Su Ruan shifted her gaze to Yan Xi and saw her gloating smile. The girl stood beside Director Gao proudly. She was like a peacock, showing off her feather.

Her hand clenched into a tight fist. Su Ruan was suppressing her urge to punch Yan Xi right on her face.

Ji Fan Yin slapped her hand on the table, causing everyone to jump. "Director Guo, what do you mean by letting Yan Xi work on this interview. I have already assigned Su Ruan to this interview."

"Editor Ji, let's face it. President Long Fei had agreed to let our magazine interview him. Su Ruan is not experienced enough to handle this interview. I think President Long would be satisfied with Yan Xi's professionalism."

"Yan Xi already had a few interviews in her hand. She cannot do it," Editor Ji rebuked.

Gao Leng waved his hand. "I'll let the others work on the assignment. Yan Xi will be focusing on this interview alone."

"Director Guo!"

"Editor Ji, I have already made my decision. Yan Xi will be interviewing President Long Fei in two days." Guo Leng spoke. "If you're not happy with it, you can bring this matter over to the higher-up."
