Chapter 534 Is It Done Accidentally or Purposely?

All members at the meeting are in silence after what is said by Leng Weiwei, giving rise to the tension.

With her mouth slightly up, Xia Ning looks at Leng Weiwei and says, “Deputy Editor Leng, the meeting is not for an individual, but for some of us. Just be easy.”

“Objections can come at any time. Chief Editor Xia, wouldn’t it be making a big deal out of nothing? The former Chief Editor Gu had never done such a thing before…”

“Excuse me, guys. Do you mind if I interrupt you for a moment?”

Before Leng Weiwei finishes her talking, An Lingxi says, “Deputy Editor Leng, I think you’ve gone too far. You are correct. There will be dissenting voices everywhere you work. But a meeting like this really happens in every company. I am new here and have no idea what Chief Editor Gu did previously. But one thing is clear. What Chief Editor Xia only wants is to remind us. It’s not a censure.”

Leng Weiwei looks straight at An Lingxi while An Lingxi responds with a smile. The confrontation, both mild and intense, makes all people on the spot worried.

Are the two deputy editors going to “fight”?

Xia Ning coughs slightly and says, “Deputy Editor An is right. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just a reminder. Deputy Editor Leng has done a lot to support and work with me, and I am very grateful to her. I would still say that we have equal access to work opportunities, but healthy competition is a must. That’s it. The meeting is over.”

Back in the chief editor’s office, Xia Ning is relieved. What Leng Weiwei does doesn’t surprise her, and she is about to cope with that herself. Unexpectedly, An Lingxi helps her.

“Sister Xia, I think Deputy Editor Leng is going too far.” Jing Shu brings a glass of milk in front of her and says, “Deputy Editor Leng feels unfair in her heart.”

Xia Ning takes a sip of milk, groans for a while, and says, “There are dissenting voices in every company. It’s reasonable. We need ‘a stick or carrot’ policy.”

At this moment, the door of the chief editor’s office is knocked, and the person who came in is An Lingxi.

An Lingxi says directly as soon as she sits down, “Chief Editor Xia, it seems that there are not a few who are opposed to you.”

Feeling a bit pressured, Xia Ning still replies with a smile, “Ha-ha, they just talk the talk and won’t put that into practice. Don’t worry, Deputy Editor An.”

“The problem is that they really did some at the meeting.” Speaking of this, An Lingxi sips her lips and says, “It is just a normal decree, and if even this is openly opposed, then it will be difficult to implement the policies that you make in the future. You have thought about this problem, right?”

Xia Ning is in silence, and she knows exactly who An Lingxi is talking about and what she is going to cope with.

Seeing that Xia Ning is hesitating, An Lingxi continues, “Chief Editor Xia, maybe I should get off the case. But as a deputy editor here, there are some things that I have to clarify. Business is business. There should be a clear distinction between public and private. Many businesses go out of business due to the alliance of families and friends. So as a leader, you are supposed to be decisive. Besides, their objections are now even on the table. Chief Editor Xia, it will be hard to deal with if those forces expand.”

Xia Ning frowns and she also thinks An Lingxi is right.

Contrary to Leng Weiwei’s opinion, she believes that it is temporary. If she does it now, she would be on the wrong side.

At this moment, the door of the chief editor’s office is knocked on again, and this time it is Leng Weiwei.

When Leng Weiwei sees An Lingxi inside, her face darkens. She walks in directly, sits in front of An Lingxi, and says, “It seems someone is snitching. By the way, is it about me?”

An Lingxi smiles, looks at Leng Weiwei as if looking at a child, and says, “I just talked to the chief editor about something in the company, and it had nothing to do with snitching. But one thing you’re right about is that it does have to do with you.”

“It seems that Deputy Editor An is genteel but rather practices with an act of duplicity.”

“Oh? Now I see. Thank you for saying so, Deputy Editor Leng.”

Seeing that the two are going to quarrel in front of her, Xia Ning says, “Deputy Editor Leng, I was just discussing something with Deputy Editor An. What’s wrong with you?”

Leng Weiwei looks at Xia Ning and says, “It seems that Chief Editor Xia doesn’t like me staying here anymore.”

Xia Ning frowns and says, “Not true…”

“You could say no, but someone won’t think so.” Speaking of it, Leng Weiwei sneers and says, “Chief Editor Xia, I am here to ask for a leave. I haven’t had a vacation for a long time. I’ve felt a little upset lately, so I want to take a vacation. Just hope I can get the permission.”

Xia Ning says after a while, “I will agree if you want to take some days off later. And I can also grant a long vacation if something special occurred to you. But remember to come back after your vacation. I need your help.”

With her eyes blinking, Leng Weiwei turns around and says, “Thank you for your appreciation. It’s all right. I’m gonna go. I will write a formal letter for the leave.”

After that, Leng Weiwei gets up and goes out.

An Lingxi sighs and says, “Just hope she will not get in a rage.”

After returning to her office, Leng Weiwei sends the letter she has prepared directly to Xia Ning by email. After doing all this, looking at the espresso in front of her, she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath.

In fact, she loves a peaceful life.

She doesn’t like herself to be so tit-for-tat.

But she knows what she is going to do next.

She has to accomplish tasks by all means.

After a while, Leng Weiwei receives a written notice from Xia Ning. It writes, “You can take a vacation at any time after getting things at hand done.”

She smiles coldly at the reply.

Mixed feelings wells up in her heart.

Having worked here for so long, her affection for the company grows as well. Although she knows none of this is true, she would work at any time if needed.

But now she has received such a reply, she would more or less have an idea.

Now Xia Ning has another deputy editor by her side, so she could indeed leave at any time.

It should be said that the chief editor of World Era Weekly would never lack a capable deputy editor.

She could leave at any time if she doesn’t like it.

What is called fair competition is just nice words on the table.

There is no such a thing as a fair platform in the world.

She feels so melancholy that there is no place for her despite the world being so big.

Leng Weiwei takes a sip of the coffee and suddenly she feels that the coffee is really bitter.

And then a person appears in her mind. It is Yi Yuntian.

A touch of warmth is born from her heart.

What Yi Yuntian said made her deeply moved and it made her feel like she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life.

However, she knows it is all fake.

Leng Weiwei and all her doings including Yi Yuntian’s confession to her are not true.

Xia Ning hurries downstairs after work. Seeing Knight XV, she feels extremely warm.

The car door opens and someone sitting in the car holds out his hand to her.

Xia Ning goes straight into his arms.

She misses her husband and wants to be spoiled in Yi Yunrui’s arms.

Stroking his little wife’s hair, Yi Yunrui says with a gentle look, “What happened in the company?”

Blinking her eyes, Xia Ning knows exactly her husband’s wisdom.

Xia Ning says with a sigh, “Dear, Weiwei asked for a long leave.”

“Oh? A long leave… Yi Yuntian will be happy if he knows about it.”

Xia Ning’s eyes light up. Something suddenly dawns on her after Yi Yunrui’s words in spite of the negative information in her mind.

Though Leng Weiwei does something unfriendly to her, perhaps there is a reason in it.

Well, there would be no need for her to think it over.

“Yes, Weiwei is on vacation now, and brother has to seize the opportunity.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui laughs and says, “Well, he’s indeed in his ages. Half a lifetime will be wasted if he still doesn’t get married.”

“Ahem.”

Yi Yunrui is correct. The eldest brother is in his forties. At his age, other people’s children are nearly grown-ups. He is still stuck in the stage of “falling in love”. For those not in the know, they would be worried about him.

The problem is that the eldest brother doesn’t look old judging from his appearance. To put it mildly, many young men in their twenties look more mature than him.

The men of the Yi Family doesn’t look old.

She estimates that even if they are fifty years old, men in Yi Villa are still so handsome and young.

“I wonder if I’m going to take a vacation as well.”

“Um?”

“I am a bit upset today. I wonder if I should ask a psychiatrist for help.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui frowns and says, “Does anyone rattle your cage?”

“Things in the company will be more or less a little unsatisfactory, and it is not to do with an individual…”

“Boss, Chief Editor Xia and Leng Weiwei had a fight.” Before Xia Ning finishes talking, Xiaoniao confesses to Yi Yunrui.

The corners of Xia Ning’s mouth twitches, and she should have said to Xiaoniao and Man in advance.

Yi Yunrui’s eyes darken, and a stream of light flashes through his eyes.

Leng Weiwei is likely to be in Yi Villa due to Yi Yuntian. Why does she keep fighting against Ning?

Is it really out of disagreement?

Or something else should be to blame?

There are health and safety issues related to his little wife and baby, and it is time that he should interfere.

“Dear, I just went to the market and bought some fresh shrimps. The shrimps are pretty big…”

“Really?” Xia Ning’s eyes light up before Yi Yunrui finishes talking. It is proved that she is supposed to eat seafood during pregnancy. That way, her intake of nutrition would be more than others.

So, in the end, it is the little baby that makes Xia Ning feel comfortable.
