Chapter 479 Sisters Work Arm in Arm

Mei Ruo is taken away. Zhang Hai asks, “Commander, do you have any other instructions?”

“We may leave the case for Deputy Chief-of-staff Mei to deal with.” Seemingly, the management has got a detailed plan. What he sent to Zhang Hai just now was a request for approval. It took no more than ten minutes for him to get the approval from Deputy Chief-of-staff Mei by his signature.

This must be a solution specially arranged by Minister Gu. Deputy Chief-of-staff Mei is Mei Ruo’s father.

“Yes, Commander!”

Yi Yunrui turns around to open the door and goes in. The door is just open while he finds his wife standing right behind the door.

“Sweetheart…”

“Was Mei Ruo arrested?”

“Hum.” Yi Yunrui responds. He closes the door and holds his wife into his embrace, “Sweetheart, it is over. Don’t bother yourself with it. You may go to change your clothes. Don’t you have an appointment with Baoer?”

Xia Ning purses her lips. No one wants to see such a result. Anyway, some people have to take the responsibility for their wrong doings.

Nothing will be different even if she gives in and retreats. The more fragile she becomes, the more fiercely other people will bully her!

“Don’t you feel tired?”

“When you love someone, will you feel bored or tired?”

She heard the conversation between Yi Yunrui and Mei Ruo. She is greatly impressed by these words.

When she loves someone, will she feel bored or tired?

It may be boring. It may be tiring, too. However, she will never give up!

No matter what danger or frustration she has to go through, she will never give up. Because she loves Yi Yunrui, she will never feel bored or tired!

At this moment, she comes to understand the true feeling of Yi Yunrui to her.

Xia Ning gives a sigh of relief. She turns to hug her husband, “Let me hug you for another while.”

It is still some time before dinner. She is obsessed with Yi Yunrui’s embrace.

…

“Wow, my dear! It is gorgeous!” Li Baoer cries loudly once she enters Lung King Heen.

Xia Ning smiles, “You may order whatever you want to eat. Don’t save money for me. Anyway, be careful about your baby.”

Li Baoer nods seriously, “You are a rich woman. I won’t save money for you. Zhenzhen, do you hear that. You may order whatever you like later. It is on your Sister Xia.”

It is also the first time for Zhenzhen to have dinner in such a high-grade restaurant. She is surprised and hasn’t collected herself. When she hears Li Baoer’s words, she smiles.

There will be a great feast to come.

Recently, she is always the cook at home. Today, she finally can have dinner cooked by others.

They sit down at the comfortable seats in a private room. When seeing the tableware with Michelin logo, Li Baoer takes up a piece and teases, “Ning, do you think this can be sold at a good price?”

“Ahem!” Xia Ning feels shocked to hear the question. She looks helplessly at Li Baoer. If she hadn’t known Colonel Dai well, she might have thought that Li Baoer was bullied by her husband. She responds, “If you like them, I can give you a set.”

Li Baoer blinks her eyes in surprise. She puts down the tableware, “I am just joking. Don’t worry.”

What does she have it for? She doesn’t cook well… This kind of tableware will be obvious ridicule to her to be put on her table.

They haven’t ordered anything while the chef has served them with some latest developed dishes. Looking at the perfectly garnished dishes, Li Baoer and Zhenzhen are both reluctant to start eating.

They are so beautiful. How can they bear to eat them?

“Sister Xia.” Zhenzhen says,” The dishes are so beautiful and delicious. I really want to learn how to make them.”

Xia Ning smiles to stroke her hair, “Do you like cooking?”

“Yes, I do.” She likes to cook for people she likes.

She puts her sincerity in the dishes.

Xia Ning turns to Yi Yunrui, “If it is possible, can I ask the chef to come here to give Zhenzhen some tips on cooking?”

“You silly, everything here belongs to you. You surely can speak out your request directly.”

Hearing this, Li Baoer feels so surprised that she widens her mouth and doesn’t close it for quite a while. She asks, “Wait! Commander Yi, what did you say? Does this restaurant belong to Ning?”

“Ahem.” Xia Ning makes a cough, “It previously belongs to my husband. He transferred it to me.”

“Wow!” Li Baoer tuts to say, “Ning, I knew you were rich, but I didn’t know you could be so rich! Commander Yi, are you truly unworried about transferring your properties to Ning? Be careful that she may ruin everything.”

Yi Yunrui smiles, “It is fine. We will start again if she fails.”

Yi Yunrui looks careless about his properties. Li Baoer widens her eyes. If Zhongheng hadn’t been so kind to her, she would have envied Xia Ning and Yi Yunrui very much!

Considering that there are two pregnant women here, one of which is the big boss of the restaurant, the chef makes a great effort to prepare the dishes. He almost uses all the special cooking methods of the countries to get dinner ready. It is an amazing feast for both their stomach and their eyes.

After dinner, Li Baoer strokes her raised belly. She cleans her teeth with a toothpick, “Great. I feel pleasantly satisfied.”

Zhenzhen takes out a small notebook. She is writing some kinds of notes.

Xia Ning asks, “Zhenzhen, what are you writing?”

“I didn’t have many of the dishes before. I want to write them down. When I meet the chefs, I can ask them about the dishes.”

“Oh. It is all right. You can ask them. You don’t need to worry about anything.” The flavor of cooking in Michelin restaurants is not to be copied even if the recipes are available for the public. The super quality can only be created by the greatest chefs with rich experience.

Besides, Zhenzhen is such a cute kid. Xia Ning believes that the chefs will like her.

“Ning, didn’t you say that you wanted to discuss with me about something? What is the matter?”

Xia Ning drinks a mouthful of pear juice with honey. She passes the Letter of Appointment given by Gu Luan to Li Baoer.

Li Baoer takes it over to read. She is surprised, “Ning, are you telling me that you are the director of World Era Weekly now?”

“The headquarters requires me to confirm within three days. I haven’t replied to them…”

“You fool. What are you worried about?” Saying this, Li Baoer puts the Letter of Appointment on the table, “Your dream is to become a director. Now, it comes true. Why do you hesitate? Say yes!”

Xia Ning smiles, “Yes. My dream is coming true. But I can’t do it all by myself.”

Li Baoer thinks for a while. Then, seemingly, she understands. She puts on a bright smile, “Ning, do you mean that you want to give your cousin Baoer a promotion?”

Xia Ning feels embarrassed to see Li Baoer’s expression, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to stay at home to rest for pregnancy and wouldn’t go back to work?”

“At that time, the bad woman Wan Liqing was in power and she was hard on me every day. I surely didn’t want to work! Now, you are the boss. Whom do I fear in the company? Who dares bully me? Ha. Ha!” Li Baoer can’t help laughing.

“Baoer, let’s back to business.” Xia Ning pats Li Baoer’s hand and turns serious.

“Yes!” In an instant, Li Baoer wipes her smile and looks at Xia Ning sincerely, “Boss, what are the instructions?”

“I want to discuss with you about something. I want to have your comments. Seriously.”

“Hum. Don’t worry. Ning, your cousin is always serious at work. Tell me what you are worried about. We may discuss and figure out a solution.”

Li Baoer looks like a careless girl. However, she is very efficient at work. Ever since she took over as the supervisor of the interview sector, she has managed to keep all her young girls and boys in pleasant obedience within two months. During the time of Xia Ning’s absence, problems popped up in all other sectors while the interview sector was always in peace. Besides, all the tasks and assignments from the superior department were all excellently completed there.

This time, Xia Ning asks Li Baoer to come here. As Li Baoer says, Xia Ning is going to give her a promotion. This is the main task. And then, they are going to discuss some issues.

“First of all, congratulations! You are the director of the entertainment department now.” Xia Ning announces briefly.

Li Baoer feels glad. However, she restrains her excitement and listens to Xia Ning patiently. After quite a while, she finds Xia Ning not continue. Li Baoer feels surprised, “You give me a promotion. And then?”

Xia Ning slightly lifts her lips. She sticks up her index finger, “Baoer, it is not only a simple promotion. You must listen carefully. I am now the director of World Era Weekly. However, I am not an experienced one. After I take over the position, there may be all kinds of problems to come out and cause turbulence inside the weekly. Therefore, Baoer, after you become the director of the entertainment department, you have to try your best to support me. You can only take my side. You can’t go against me.”

“Sure.” Li Baoer responds decisively, “We are friends and relatives. Whom will I support if not you?”

“Don’t make an easy promise. Once you take my side, other people will attack you. At that time, you may be faced with an even worse situation than before when Wan Liqing was in power. Are you mentally prepared for that? If you are, I will give you the promotion.”

Li Baoer blinks her eyes. She thinks for a while and then says, “Ning, actually, what you are worried about is nothing serious! I may say what I am concerned about. You know I am pregnant. Pregnant women tend to be sentimental. If I do anything improper, please try to understand. Besides, can you give me more holidays? I will be fine with any problems after a sound sleep.”

Xia Ning nods. Li Baoer’s requirements are practical. Xia Ning says, “No problem. You can request for holidays anytime. Considering your situation, temporarily, you may have ten days for holiday every month, excluding Saturdays and Sundays, which are regular holidays. As to the troubles you may cause, ah, ha….”

Xia Ning laughs but doesn’t continue to speak.

Li Baoer waves her hand, “It is all right. I know you can’t bear to punish me. As a matter of fact, I have only one basic discipline: I will always support you and I hope you always support me, too. As the saying goes, when sisters are of the same mind, they can overcome all the difficulties!”

Xia Ning twitches her lips. Doesn’t the original version say that when a husband and his wife are of the same mind, they can overcome all the difficulties?

“So, you are in?”

“Absolutely. The promotion means increased responsibility and pressure. It is fine. Your cousin is able to bear that!”

Xia Ning smiles, “Good. You say it. There is another issue. It is about Leng Weiwei.”

When Li Baoer hears the words Leng Weiwei, she opens her mouth. Then, as if she remembers something, she says, “Yes. Leng Weiwei has been the chief editor for a long time. Generally speaking, she is expected to take over as director of the weekly! Now, I wonder whether Weiwei has any problems with the result!”
