章 16: Fifth Sister Was Fired!
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
Only Xu Tian and Li Xiangning were left in the living room.
Li Xiangning rested her head on Xu Tian's chest and hugged his waist.
Li Xiangning had been silent the whole time. Xu Tian did not know what to say for a moment.
The living room was suddenly unusually quiet. Only the sound of heartbeats and breaths could be heard.
Smelling the perfume and body fragrance on Li Xiangning's body, Xu Tian's imagination ran wild.
"Ahem...um, Fifth Sister, why don't we have a chat!"
Xu Tian coughed and opened his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere.
"I don't want to talk for the time being. I just want to hold you like this for a while!"
Li Xiangning raised her head and looked at Xu Tian lovingly.
"Alright! You're my fifth sister. Whatever you say goes!"
Xu Tian sighed in his heart and leaned against the sofa motionlessly.
Five minutes passed!
Ten minutes passed!
Half an hour passed!
Li Xiangning was still hugging Xu Tian and leaning against his chest.
"Fifth Sister, our understanding of the word 'for a while' is too different!"
Xu Tian complained in his heart, but he was too embarrassed to push Li Xiangning away.
"Hu hu... Hu Hu..."
Li Xiangning was releasing steady, deep breaths.
Xu Tian looked down and saw that Li Xiangning was actually hugging him, in his arms... fast asleep!
At this moment, Xu Tian carefully examined Li Xiangning.
As he looked upon Li Xiangning at such a close distance, he lost himself in a stupor.
Every part of Li Xiangning's face was like carved jade. She was practically God's favorite.
"I can't look anymore! This sister of mine is too charming!"
Xu Tian shook his head and muttered softly.
Looking at Li Xiangning for a long time, Xu Tian had the urge to kiss her on the lips and pinch her nose.
Not long after, Lin Yun walked out of the room.
Xu Tian quickly used sign language and asked, "Big Sister, Fifth Sister is asleep. What should we do?"
Lin Yun smiled meaningfully and signed, "Isn't it good to have a peerless beauty like your fifth sister hugging you to sleep?"
Xu Tian smiled bitterly and was a little speechless.
Lin Yun sighed and signed, "Fifth Sister might be too tired. Don't wake her up.
"She's hugging you so tightly again. Lie down on the sofa and let her hug you to sleep!"
Xu Tian nodded in the agreement.
He then took the opportunity to sleep on the sofa and let Li Xiangning sleep in his arms.
Lin Yun came out to take a look before returning to the bedroom.
..
The next morning.
Xu Tian and Li Xiangning were woken up by the ringing of a phone.
Li Xiangning's cell phone rang. She got up and walked to the balcony to answer the call.
"Hello! Manager Liu, why did you call me so early? What's the matter?
"Li Xiangning, why didn't you go back to work?
"Manager Liu, I'm on a normal holiday now. Why would I go to work?
"Li Xiangning, the company has so many flights now. If you come back and work overtime, the overtime pay will not be small for you!
"Manager Liu, I'm sorry. There is something I have on recently. I can't work overtime. I want to take a normal vacation!"
After saying that, Li Xiangning hung up the phone.
Because Li Xiangning had the reputation of the flower in the sky, she was the face of their North China Airlines.
In order to let passengers choose to take the company's flights, North China Airlines had arranged a lot of overtime for Li Xiangning.
In the past, Li Xiangning had considered the company's overall situation and felt that it was fine to work overtime. After all, there was overtime pay.
However, the situation was different now. Her brother Xu Tian had returned, so she naturally had to take a vacation to accompany Xu Tian.
Li Xiangning had just hung up when her phone rang again. She impatiently answered the call.
"Manager Liu, I've already said that I have personal matters to deal with. I want to take a normal vacation!"
"Li Xiangning, do you still want to be promoted to be a purser? You're still under investigation. If you don't come back to work overtime, the company can revoke your promotion at any time!
"Manager Liu, whether I can be a purser or not, it doesn't matter right now. I want to take a normal vacation. That's it!"
Li Xiangning did not hesitate at all and once again rejected Manager Liu's request for her to work overtime.
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Following that, Manager Liu's calls came in one after another, but Li Xiangning refused to pick up.
...
An hour later.
Lin Yun had made breakfast.
The three of them chatted and laughed as they ate breakfast.
Li Xiangning said with a smile, "Little Tian, Big Sis is going to work at the company later. I'll accompany you for a walk around."
Xu Tian nodded obediently. "Okay!"
As they spoke, a message came from Li Xiangning's phone. She picked it up and took a look.
Immediately, her expression turned ugly.
The message was from Manager Liu. It said, "Li Xiangning, I'm officially informing you that you have been fired from the company!"
Upon seeing this message, Li Xiangning was stunned.
She loved the job of a flight attendant very much.
She didn't care whether the company would let her be a flight attendant or not.
But the company had directly fired her and denied her the job that always gave her fulfillment.
This was something she couldn't bear.
Out of love, the company had arranged for her to work overtime for so many years without any complaints.
But she didn't expect the company to directly fire her because she wasn't willing to work overtime this time.
"Fifth Sister, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xu Tian noticed that Li Xiangning's expression wasn't quite right, so he asked with concern.
Li Xiangning shook her head. "It's nothing, don't fret over it!"
Although Li Xiangning said so, Xu Tian didn't believe her.
As the Lord of the Heavenly Court, Xu Tian's ability to read people's expressions was impeccable.
He firmly believed that Li Xiangning had encountered something, and it was not a simple matter.
After breakfast, Xu Tian made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Once he reached the bathroom, he picked up his phone and sent a message: "Check the latest situation of the North China Airlines branch in City H!"
..
City H Pedestrian Street.
Xu Tian and Li Xiangning walked the streets hand in hand.
Everywhere they passed.
All the male passers-by looked at Xu Tian with envy and jealousy.
At this moment, Xu Tian and Li Xiangning were both licking ice cream.
"Xiao Tian, is this chocolate ice cream delicious?"
"It's delicious!"
"When I was young, I thought of you every time I ate ice cream. I especially wanted to have you by my side to eat with me. So now that I've found you, the first thing I wanted to do is to eat ice cream with you!"
"Haha, then your wish has come true!"
As they spoke, a plane flew overhead.
Li Xiangning looked up and her expression darkened. She seemed to brood over something, but she quickly returned to normal.
Noticing the change in Li Xiangning's expression, Xu Tian was even more certain that Li Xiangning had encountered something. It had to be related to work.
At that moment, Xu Tian's phone vibrated.
He picked up the phone and carefully looked at the investigation data of the H City branch of the North China Airlines.
After reading it, Xu Tian frowned and looked unhappy.
His Heavenly Court Business Department was the biggest financier of the North China Airlines.
The H City branch of the North China Airlines recently took disciplinary action against employees who were fired.
