Chapter 172: Visiting Editor-in-Chief Ni



"Of course it's a lie, you're dreaming! If you have another woman in your heart, I won't bother to pay attention to you. Why do you still cling to you every day? I, Shen Xiaobei, am not a woman who regards love as the most important thing!"

"You little bitch, I knew you were just joking and trying to make your husband happy."

"Hehe, my husband is so easy to please! Come, let your wife give him a kiss!"

"You little bitch, this is on the street."

"What are you afraid of? No one is watching us!"

Shen Xiaobei looked around, then kissed Duan Xichuan on the lips with a swift and playful smile.

As soon as the kiss was over, he quickly let go.

After receiving such treatment from his wife, any bitterness in Duan Xichuan's heart disappeared in an instant.

Afterwards, the two rode their bicycles slowly side by side, enjoying the scenery of Beijing and flirting all the way, and returned to the courtyard in an extremely comfortable mood.

The next morning, Feng Xiuzhen brought a woman who was about fifty years old to the courtyard.

The woman's name was Zhao Hehua, and Shen Xiaobei, Gao Hongmian, Duan Donglin and the others politely called her Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao is a native of Beijing and lives very close to Feng Xiuzhen's home.

However, her family conditions were poor. Both her mother-in-law and husband were chronically ill. Because the house was small, her two sons and daughters-in-law moved out after they got married.

For several years, she has been taking care of her mother-in-law and husband alone. Her mother-in-law passed away two years ago, and her husband passed away in the second half of last year.

After both of them passed away, Aunt Zhao had planned to find a job at the beginning of this year.

But it's not easy to find one at her age.

When she heard Feng Xiuzhen say that someone needed a live-in nanny and the salary was good, she immediately agreed to take the job.

Knowing that Aunt Zhao was so virtuous and a local, Feng Xiuzhen knew her inside and out. After Shen Xiaobei had a chat with her, he immediately decided to hire her and asked her to come to work tomorrow.

When Aunt Zhao and Feng Xiuzhen left, Shen Xiaobei gave them each a box of snacks and two pieces of cloth that he had prepared in advance.

The two declined for a while, but finally accepted the gift happily.

Gao Hongmian and Duan Donglin were relieved that the nanny issue was settled so quickly. They were afraid that they would not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while, and they would be worried about going to school with Shen Xiaobei.

However, now that this matter has been finalized, it is almost time for Duan Xichuan to leave.

The next day, Duan Xichuan felt relieved when he saw Aunt Zhao coming with her luggage early in the morning and then starting to look for work quickly.

Said to Shen Xiaobei: “Girl, then I will accompany you to have breakfast and leave. You and your elder brother and sister-in-law are here, so you must take care of yourselves. Do you hear me?”

"I see. You too, are doing well in the army. Don't worry too much about us. I'll bring the kids to see you as soon as summer vacation starts."

"Well, I'll wait for you to come over."

In fact, Shen Xiaobei was reluctant to let Duan Xichuan go, but she didn't show it too much, for fear that he would feel uncomfortable when he left.

She just kissed him lightly, and after breakfast, she rode her bike to send him to the train station.

After seeing Duan Xichuan off, Shen Xiaobei put away his slightly sad mood and went to Sunshine Publishing House.

School is about to start in two days. She wants to take advantage of the free time now to visit Editor-in-Chief Ni and drink the good tea he promised to prepare for her.

After arriving at the publishing house, a waitress took her to a small reception room and asked her to wait there for a while.

She said that Editor-in-Chief Ni was in a meeting with other editors and it might take a while before she could meet him.

There was a bookshelf in the living room with a lot of books in it. Shen Xiaobei sat there reading a book while waiting for Editor-in-Chief Ni to arrive. It didn't feel like he had to wait for long before he came over.

"Xiao Shen!"

"Are you, Editor-in-Chief Ni?"

"Yes, Xiao Shen, that's me. I didn't expect that writer Xiao Shen is so young and beautiful. This really surprised me!"

"Haha, thank you Editor-in-Chief Ni for the compliment. I'm surprised to see how handsome and elegant he is!"

"Hahaha, Xiao Shen, you really are worthy of being a writer!"

Hearing Shen Xiaobei’s praise, Editor-in-Chief Ni smiled heartily.

Editor-in-Chief Ni is called Ni Tang, 32 years old, with a tall figure, fair skin, and a pair of narrow, bright single phoenix eyes. He has the air of a romantic and talented man.

This was completely different from what Shen Xiaobei had previously thought, that the editor-in-chief must be someone who wore glasses and looked like an old scholar.

The image of Editor Ni in front of him made Shen Xiaobei feel more approachable, and he also felt that he was a person with an interesting soul.

She secretly complained in her heart, no wonder he liked the book she wrote, it seemed that in some aspects, they must be kindred spirits.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries in the reception room, Editor-in-Chief Ni took Shen Xiaobei to his office.

The editor-in-chief's office is naturally a separate room. Although it is not large, there are many things in it and it looks a bit messy.

The most of them were books. Shen Xiaobei felt as if they were piled everywhere, making it dizzying.

"Xiao Shen, please sit down and I'll make you some good tea."

"Haha, Editor-in-Chief Ni still remembers the good tea!"

"Of course. I told you that if you come to the publishing house, I will definitely treat you to good tea. I will always remember this promise."

"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Ni, you are so thoughtful!"

Editor-in-Chief Ni is not just talking.

There was a set of simple and elegant Kung Fu tea sets on the coffee table in his office. He took out a box of oolong tea from a cabinet, and then he began to brew it very skillfully and professionally, as carefully as a craftsman.
