As Su Ruan walked into the room, the stylist was helping the model with the final touch. After ensuring that everything was perfect, Su Ruan exchanged a few words with the photographer and oversee the process.
Her fingers continued to tap on her notebook.
Watching the model posing in front of the camera made her wonder if she should continue this job. With a boss like Gao Leng, she should really reconsider whether she should stay.
A few hours ago, she was in another heated argument with her boss. Even if she liked the job and the people she was working with, Su Ruan wondered whether everything was worth it.
Last month, she had pitched an idea to her boss. It was an article that she wanted to write about and she had done a lot of homework on this topic.
However, that perverted Gao Leng had passed the topic that she wanted to write about to her colleague, Yan Xi.
It made her furious! The topic that she had been working hard on was going to be passed to another person! On what basis should she hand over something that she has been working so hard with to another?
However, Gao Leng had convinced her that she should give in as Yan Xi is her senior. It would sound more credible if Yan Xi was the one who write that article.
Su Ruan was younger and she will get her chance another time.
To compensate for her loss, Gao Leng had arranged for her to work on another article and send her to work with this model.
The healthy Su Ruan almost had high blood pressure due to anger. Yan Xi was only a few months older than she is and had joined the company a couple of months earlier.
What senior?
Fortunately, a colleague happen to be around and had pulled her away before she could beat her superior.
Su Ruan was really close to quitting her job. If it was not because she still need money to pay her rent and bills, she would leave the company very soon. In the end, she could only take a few deep breaths and told herself that she should give in.
She really did not understand how could she be so patient.
A shadow loomed over her. Su Ruan looked up and saw that it was her colleague, Jiang Tian. The girl put a mug of hot coffee on the table and spoke, "Su Ruan, are you still upset? Don't be so mad. Here, have a drink first."
Su Ruan flashed her a smile and took a sip of the hot coffee. The taste calmed her nerve a little bit. She thanked her friend and watched as the girl slid into the seat beside her.
"You know that Gao Leng was only doing those to piss you off. That man has been trying to get under your pants for a while now. Handing over your job to Yan Xi is only his way of revenge."
Hearing her friend's words, Su Ruan's anger rose again.
Jiang Tian inched closer and whispered, "Everyone knew that the Yan Xi and Gao Leng has been sleeping together anyway."
Su Ruan heaved a long sigh. She also knew about this gossip. This was precisely why it was unfair for Yan Xi to get the credit for something that she has not worked hard for.
"If it continues like this, someday this company will flop." Su Ruan clicked her tongue.
With such a boss and staff, the magazine will not be able to hold on for too long. If the management continued to let Gao Leng do whatever he wanted, sooner or later, this company will no longer exist.
Jiang Tian took out her phone and flashed the screen to Su Ruan. "Look at this. Blue Media Group is recruiting. I'm thinking of trying my luck with this company. Su Ruan, you should also try and send your resume."
Su Ruan's gaze was on her friend's phone and studied the recruitment advertisement.
…
The Orchid Hotel, Capital City.
Long Fei walked out of the bathroom without drying his body and hair properly. At this time, there was only a white towel around his waist area.
A droplet of water dripped down from the end of his hair to his shoulder. The water droplet slid on his skin towards his sturdy abs before it suddenly disappeared.
In just a minute, the water on his body and hair had suddenly dried out. It was as if he did not come out of the bathroom after a long shower.
After taking a long shower, Long Fei was starting to feel comfortable. The headache had disappeared and he was able to think clearly. He walked over to the wardrobe and put on a white, plain t-shirt. Then, he walked over to the study and began to look at a few documents that his assistant had forwarded to him earlier.
As he was reading the company's report, his phone on the table buzzed. He looked away from his laptop and clicked on the new email that his assistant had sent to him.
His eyes flickered upon noticing that this was the result of the investigation.
Long Fei began to read the documents carefully. He did not want to miss any important details on the person that he has been looking for.
After going through the email for a while, Long Fei was beginning to get impatient. The report that his assistant, Fu Xing had sent to him was mostly on that woman that he had met on the street, Lin Qing. The woman's family, job, and childhood experience were all written on the documents.
All of the sudden, his movement halted.
Long Fei stared at the picture that Fu Xing had attached along in the email for a long time. His mood began to change again and the corner of his lips tilted up into a smile.
With one glance, Long Fei was able to recognize this person. This was the girl that he has been looking for for years. This was the girl who had promised that she will come to look for him but later, forgotten about her promise.
Su Ruan.
