章 12: An Assignment

The moment Jiang Tian saw Su Ruan walking into the office, she could see that there was something wrong with her friend. It took her a while to find out that Su Ruan was wearing sunglasses inside the building.

Jiang Tian was about to speak when Su Ruan took off her sunglasses. Seeing her friend's swollen eyes, Jiang Tian suddenly became speechless. There were ten seconds of silence before Jiang Tian finally spoke, "My God, Su Ruan! What happened to you?"

Su Ruan put her bag on the table and sighed. "I cried after watching a costume drama," she said. Fearing that her friend would not believe her, Su Ruan quickly added, "The couple clearly loved each other but they could not be together. In the end, the female lead chose to end his life after her beloved died."

Her lips curled into a mocking smile.

At least the leads in this drama she mentioned loved each other. Meanwhile, her love for that person has always been one-sided.

Su Ruan thought that her love life was quite pathetic.

"Ah! I know that drama." Jiang Tian suddenly became excited. "I watched that one and cried my eyes out. You're right. That drama is full of tragedy. I couldn't move on for weeks."

The corner of her lips started to twitch. She only gave a little hint on the ending. Su Ruan had not expected that Jiang Tian would know about this drama too.

The two of them suddenly chatted about the drama with Jiang Tian mostly fangirling about the lead's sweet moments before the tragedy happened.

It was not until someone called to say that Gao Leng called for a meeting did the two of them stopped discussing the drama.

Su Ruan gathered her notebook and stationery before she walked into the meeting room with the others. The meeting started and Gao Leng began to divide some tasks and assignments for their upcoming issue.

Everyone could not help but to shoot a dissatisfied look at Yan Xi when that girl was chosen to do write some important articles as usual. They wanted to complain but even their editor-in-chief was unable to do anything with Gao Leng's intervention. He was related to their big boss. No matter how much they complain, no one was going to do anything to Gao Leng.

Although they were not satisfied, they still had to stay in this job as they still need their salary.

After her last fight with Gao Leng regarding her article, Su Ruan was no longer in the mood to fight with them. For the rest of the meeting, Su Ruan chose not to say anything.

The meeting ended and everyone went back to their station. Their boss had played obvious favoritism and everyone was not in a good mood to work.

Su Ru Ruan opened her notebook and started to work on her job. Just then, their Editor-in-Chief called her to enter the office. After switching off her laptop, Su Ruan went into her editor's office to discuss a few wok matters.

Their Editor-in-Chief, Ji Fan Yin as a stylish woman in her late forties. She had short hair and always had bright red lipstick on her lips.

Su Ruan greeted her editor before she took a seat.

"I have an assignment for you." Ji Fan Yin leaned over and smiled. "Su Ruan, you know that there is a column in our magazine that always focused on successful male leaders in the country."

Su Ruan nodded.

Their magazine's readers were mostly women. This column was always popular among their readers as they get to feast their eyes on good-looking men.

"You should have heard about Blue Media Group, right? Just now, someone contacted me and said that their Chairman, Long Fei is willing to be interviewed."

Her mouth gaped open at this news. Blue Media was the biggest media company in the country. "Why would someone like him agree to be interviewed by this small fashion magazine?"

Ji Fan Yin laughed. "Who knows what the rich people like him were thinking? However, it was rare for Chairman Long Fei to accept an interview. If our magazine did a good job, there was a chance that we might boost our sales. Su Ruan, I am thinking of letting you interview Chairman Long Fei."

Su Ruan finally left the editor's office with a dazed look on her face.

When she returned to her station, Su Ruan continued to stare at her laptop screen, not knowing what she should feel regarding this news.

She was excited. However, she was a little worried that it was too early for her to celebrate. Moreover, her Editor-in-Chief had already mentioned that she should keep this matter a secret before that Chairman come to their office.

After a while, Su Ruan finally regained her composure. She slapped her cheek softly with both her hands and started to do her homework on Long Fei.

…

The Orchid Hotel, Capital City.

Long Yu Heng stared at her phone for a while before he finally turned to the master bedroom. He rapped his knuckles twice and entered once he heard Long Fei's voice.

However, the moment he entered the bedroom, Long Fei was nowhere to be seen. His ears picked up the sounds of water that came from the bathroom. Long Yu Heng knocked on the door and entered the bathroom.

A frown appeared on his face upon finding that Long Fei was soaking in the bathtub with his clothes fully on.

It was cold in winter. However, this person still had to soak in water due to his special condition.

As the eldest male in their generation, Long Fei was born special. The moment he was born he was already determined as their leader. He had the power and wealth. However, his condition made him have to stay close to water all the time.

Anyone would be jealous of what Long Fei has. However, Long Yu Heng thought that Long Fei was quite pitiful.

"How is it? Did you contact them?"

Long Yu Heng nodded. "They already set the date for you to come over to their office. Your interview is set to come out for the magazine's New Year's edition."

"Alright. You can leave now." Long Fei did not care about such details. He was only willing to be interviewed because that girl happened to work there. He only wanted to learn more about her and try to get close to her.

Before he found Su Ruan, Long Fei thought that he was ready to let her go.

However, there was something inside his body that keep calling him, wanting him to get close to her. Long Fei could only blame the decision he made while he was still a little boy. If he did not meet Su Ruan that night, his body would not react this badly.

His eyes narrowed as he thought about his next meeting with Su Ruan.
