Chereads / The Dragon Beside Me / Chapter 22 - Bring Back Miss Su

Chapter 22 - Bring Back Miss Su

Long Yu Heng stretched his hand to pull Long Fei's. Whatever it was, the most important thing was to let Long Fei calm down.

If Long Fei accidentally used his power, he might attract some unwanted attention.

Long Fei took a deep breath when he felt his cousin's squeezing his arms.

Gao Leng quickly noticed that something doesn't seem right with President Long's expression. He flashed an amiable smile and tried to suppress that uncomfortable feeling inside his heart.

"President Long," Gao Leng called as he clasped his hands tightly. "Miss Yan is one of the senior writers with Upcoming. She is experienced and will be able to handle this interview well."

Hearing her name, Yan Xi flashed another smile at President Long.

"No." Long Fei shot a look at Gao Leng. "The only reason I agreed to this interview was because of Miss Su. If it is not Miss Su, then, I will not accept this interview."

The smile on both Gao Leng and Yan Xi's faces became stiff. They both did not expect that there was a reason that President Long Fei had agreed to be interviewed.

Upcoming was a small magazine.

Initially, it was a little strange that someone like President Long Fei would agree to be interviewed by their magazine.

However, none of them had expected that it was because of Su Ruan.

Yan Xi's expression distorted.

What does it mean?

Why would President Long Fei agree to this interview because of Su Ruan?

It couldn't be that the two of them had some kind of relationship?

It's not possible, isn't it?

If Su Ruan had any sort of relationship with President Long Fei, then, she should mention this matter to them earlier.

Yan Xi was having a hard time accepting this matter.

Meanwhile, Gao Leng shifted his gaze to Editor Ji. Previously, Editor Ji Fan Yin had brought up this matter to him. However, Gao Leng had thought that Editor Ji was talking rubbish. He had thought that it was not a big matter for anyone to interview President Long Fei.

Gao Leng tried to hint Editor Ji to say something. However, that woman was pretending that she did not see anything.

"Director Gao, what is going on?" The president looked at him with a frown.

"This…" Gao Leng swallowed. His mind whirled as he tried to think of an excuse. However, he could not come out with anything to say.

Seeing the angry look on their president's face, Gao Leng knew that he would be in trouble if President Long rejected their interview and leave. Their magazine had already bragged to their competitors that President Long Fei had agreed to be interviewed by them.

If they failed to get this interview, then it would be embarrassing for them.

Gao Leng realized that even his relationship with his uncle would not be able to help him keep his job in the company.

The realization was beginning to make him afraid.

"President Huang," Long Fei narrowed his eyes as he looked at the president of the company. "I will give you a day to give me a proper explanation. If Miss Su did not return to take this job, then, I will not agree to this interview."

Gao Leng's face was sweating as he tried to bear President Long Fei's suppressing aura.

In the end, everyone could only watch as the man leave their company. When President Long Fei finally left, all eyes were on both Gao Leng and Yan Xi.

They could almost guess what was going on between the two of them and Su Ruan.

"Director Gao!" President Huang looked at the man with a dark look on his face. "You better bring back Miss Su to the company before tomorrow. Or else, you don't have to come back to the company!"

Gao Leng's hand clenched into a tight fist. The smile on his face has long disappeared. "President Huang, don't worry, I will make this right."

The frown on his face deepened. Gao Leng did not know how he should coax Su Ruan to return. Moreover, Yan Xi had already told him that Su Ruan had cleared out her desk after everyone get off work last evening.

Su Ruan rolled around on her bed and frowned.

She did not know what was going on but Su Ruan thought that her surroundings were too noisy and it was giving her a headache.

It took her a while to realize that the noise was no other than her phone.

She stretched her hand and tried to look for her phone with her eyes closed. She finally touched her phone but just as she was about to pick it up, the phone fell to the ground with a thud.

The ringing sound finally stopped.

Just when she had thought that she would finally be able to continue her sleep, her phone started to ring again.

Su Ruan whimpered as she tried to reach for her phone again.

At this time, she was regretting her decision to drink a little too much. However, she was fired from her job yesterday and she needed to do something to ease that pain.

But that decision gave her a terrible headache in the morning.

Su Ruan finally get off her bed and reached to take her phone. Her eyes opened to a slit. She was having a hard time looking at the bright light from her phone screen.

However, once she saw the name on her phone screen, Su Ruan sat up quickly. A deep frown appeared on her face as the headache attacked her again.

Su Ruan looked at her phone screen again and suddenly, she became a little sober.

Why would Gao Leng call her at this time?

Su Ruan hesitated for a few seconds before she slid her finger across the screen to pick up the phone call.

"Su Ruan, where are you?" Gao Leng asked the moment the phone call was connected. "Come into the company quickly."

Hearing his words, Su Ruan began to wonder if she was still dreaming. However, the headache convinced her that she was not.

"Did you forget about your interview with President Long?"

"Gao Leng, don't forget that you have fired me yesterday. Why would I come to the office and do this interview?"

"Su Ruan, don't be like this."

Gao Leng's coaxing tone made Su Ruan shiver. The feeling was a little disgusting.

"We can discuss this properly. I promise you that if you come back, I will let you take Yan Xi's job," Gao Leng spoke. "Whatever it is that you want, I will let you have it. An increment in your salary? A promotion? You name your condition."

Su Ruan was tempted by this offer. However, when she thought about the suffering she faced in the company, she could only steel her heart. "I do have a condition."

"What is it?" Gao Leng asked. "As long as you return to the company, I will let you have it."

"I want you and Miss Yan Xi out of the company."

"What?" Gao Leng's expression changed.

"That is my only condition. Or else, I am not going to return."
