Newspaper office.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Hong sat on the stool in a daze, wondering if she had said something wrong.

Are we going to see Gu Ziling?

Was it at Madam Gu's behest that he went?

I must have been out of my mind to agree to this, right?

After we go there, won't that man be smug to death?

But once you've agreed, there's no going back on your word!

"Editor-in-chief? Editor-in-chief? Editor-in-chief Xia?"

Several shouts rang in her ears before Xia Hong finally heard:

"ah?"

"Editor-in-chief, who called? What's making you so agitated? Could it be... your brother-in-law?"

It is clear that Minister Gu's high-profile declaration of sovereignty last time was quite effective!

Do you all still remember?

Xia Hong waved her hand:

"Get out of here, have you finished your work? Stop gossiping."

"I finished a long time ago, sis, you're blushing~~"

Xia Hong hadn't really felt her face burning before, but ever since this kid spoke, it really did start to burn:

"Where's the editor-in-chief?"

cough.

"It seems the editor-in-chief has gone out; his secretary came to pick him up in a car."

Xia Hong frowned slightly:

"When the editor-in-chief comes back, please ask him for leave for me. I'll write an application first, and you can give it to him together."

That would be great if we could avoid face-to-face contact!

Xia Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sure, it's a date, I get it!"

"Hey, you're a young man, why are you acting like a womanizer?"

"Who's a friend of women? Sister Hong, that's a personal attack!"

Xia Hong glanced at it:

"I'm going to the office to write the application now. The rest of the work is up to you. Remember to keep a close eye on the authors and don't let them keep dragging their feet."

"knew."

Xia Hong had been working at the newspaper for two years and was considered a key technical staff member. She was also very popular.

......

Writing a leave application form doesn't take long, and Xia Hong quickly came out, carrying a bag in her hand.

"Here you go. Remember to give this to the editor-in-chief for me. I'm leaving now."

"OK."

Meanwhile, Minister Gu is still unaware that his mother has prepared a huge surprise for him!

I also learned that my subordinate had actually called my mother while I was undergoing surgery.

"Who told you to notify my mom?"

"Boss."

"Isn't I your boss? Did I notify you?"

Forehead...

"Minister, you have superiors above you. Do you think I can disobey orders?"

Gu Ziling frowned deeply:

"Give me your phone!"

"Oh, okay."

In an instant, he handed the phone to Gu Ziling, who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Alright, you can all leave now."

"Minister, we'll stand guard at the door. Just call us if you need anything."

"Get out!"

The group of people all ran away in a flash.

Gu Ziling also laughed, and it was clear that she wasn't really angry, just worried.

I'm not going to die, why would I notify my family now? I don't even know how my family is doing!

The call was immediately dialed back to the Gu family's old house. When the phone rang, Meimei and Sister Liao were still sitting on the sofa trying to calm down.

"Hello, Mr. Gu," Sister Liao answered the phone.

"Aunt Liao is me, Xiao Ling."

"Xiao Ling?"

Meimei, who was sitting on the other side, trembled and quickly reached out to Sister Liao. Sister Liao knowingly handed her the telephone receiver.

After answering the phone, Meimei spoke anxiously:

"son!"

"Mom, it's me."

"You brat, why didn't you take care of yourself? Now look what you've done, you're injured! I hope it hurts like hell!"
