Chapter 559: Time to Work
The next day when they went to the Xia family to pay New Year's greetings, Gu Siqing and Gu Erhui told Xia Ying that they would have dinner together in the evening and asked her to bring Zhang Ziyao with her. Xia Ying knew that they were worried about her, so she agreed without hesitation and said:
"Don't worry, even though I've liked him for many years, I won't insist on him. If we're really not suitable, I won't force it."
Gu Siqing and Gu Erhui were relieved to hear her say this, but Zhang Ziyao still had to investigate.
"Call Yimin and Sanjing along when the time comes," Xia Ying said.
Since Gu Siqing and Gu Erhui already know about it, it would not be good to hide it from Gu Yimin and Gu Sanjing.
When Zhang Ziyao heard Xia Ying say that she was going to have dinner with the four Gu sisters, he immediately said that he would book the restaurant. He then went to Zhang Zijun and asked him about the Gu sisters' preferences so that they could make the reservation.
Zhang Zijun gave him some advice and went back to tell Gu Erhui about it. Gu Erhui was quite satisfied after hearing it. She knew what Zhang Ziyao was like before, always with an indifferent face and not caring about anything except work.
Now when booking a restaurant, he would even think about asking about their preferences, which shows that he cares about Xia Ying.
"You need to identify yourself properly," Gu Erhui said to Zhang Zijun, "You are on Xia Ying's side now, do you understand?"
Zhang Zijun quickly said, "I know, don't worry, wife, I will always supervise him."
Gu Erhui burst out laughing.
When Gu Yimin and Ye Chi found out that Xia Ying and Zhang Ziyao were dating, they were shocked for a while. They never thought that they were together. What were they doing before?
When Gu Yimin learned about the whole story between the two, he said, "It's hard to describe their fate."
Zhang Ziyao booked a private room at a private restaurant, and Gu Siqing and the others arrived a little after seven. Everyone knew each other, and the meal was quite enjoyable. Afterward, the Gu sisters and Xia Ying gathered to talk.
Xia Ying said, "I'm okay with him. I wouldn't say it's particularly passionate, but I feel pretty comfortable with him. He doesn't have any special hobbies besides work, but when I tell him I want to go somewhere fun, he's quite enthusiastic and seems to have a lot of fun."
"Have you ever had an argument or any unpleasant moments?" Gu Siqing asked.
She was worried that Zhang Zijun would resort to cold violence if he got upset, but Xia Ying said, "No, we've only been together for a few days, how could there be any unpleasantness?"
Seeing that she and Zhang Ziyao were getting along well, the Gu sisters were relieved. It was hard to say how people felt about each other, but as long as they liked each other, they would naturally be patient and accommodating of each other.
Over there, the men were chatting happily. At around nine o'clock, everyone separated. Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui went home, Gu Siqing went to the movies with Han Zhengping, and Zhang Ziyao went for a walk with Xia Ying.
As they walked and talked, Zhang Ziyao asked Xia Ying, "Are you cold?"
He naturally took her hand, wanting to feel the warmth of her hand, but he never let go. Xia Ying pursed her lips and smiled, letting him hold her hand.
The two held hands and talked about topics they were both interested in. Zhang Ziyao felt that he had only truly felt what life was like when he was almost thirty years old.
In his twenties, he lived the life of a man in his forties or fifties. His days were spent working and reading, his only hobby a chess game. He played with his father, his second uncle, or retired cadres from the compound.
Now, when he's not working, he watches movies, plays ball, and chats with Xia Ying...
He felt fresh and energetic every day. Now he knew what it felt like to like someone. He would think of her often, and then a smile would naturally appear on his face. He would be happy doing anything with her.
It's impossible not to be happy with someone like Xia Ying. She's cheerful, generous, unpretentious, positive, and very opinionated.
He was lucky to be liked by her, and also lucky that they didn't really miss each other.
After the Lunar New Year, the school began to announce job assignments. Gu Siqing was naturally assigned to the TV station, while Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu would both return to their hometowns for secondary assignments.
Neither of them had expected that Gu Siqing would go to the TV station. Hu Jiajia even asked, "Will I be able to see you on TV in the future?"
"No way," Gu Siqing said, "I was an intern editor when I first arrived. Even after the internship, I was still an editor, working behind the scenes."
"That's pretty impressive, writing scripts for the News Broadcast!" Song Miaozhu said.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Hu Jiajia whispered, "Have you heard? Our school's vice-president, Ji Liangping, has been expelled."
Song Miaozhu was shocked when she heard this and asked quickly, "Why?"
"I heard it was a violation of discipline, but the specific reason is unclear." Hu Jiajia said.
Song Miaozhu sighed: "I really didn't notice it, he usually looks fine."
Gu Siqing naturally knew the inside story, but she didn't say it. After all, it was not a good thing.
Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu were about to leave after completing the formalities. The three of them had a good reunion. After separating this time, they were not sure when they would meet again.
After seeing them off, Gu Siqing was going to the TV station to report. That day, she wore more formal clothes and a pair of high heels.
She had almost never worn high heels in her life, so she was still a little uncomfortable. But luckily the heels weren't very high, otherwise she would have been unable to walk.
Han Zhengping arrived early in the morning to take her to work. Seeing her wearing a blazer, high heels, and a thin layer of lipstick, he whispered to her, "You look good this way, too."
Gu Siqing said proudly: "Of course."
"But I'm a little uncomfortable with the shoes," Gu Siqing added, "I'll only wear them for a few days. Once I get used to them, I'll change them back to flat shoes."
As they got into the car, Han Zhengping asked her, "Are you nervous?"
"How can I not be nervous?" Gu Siqing sighed, "That's the news broadcast. Any mistake would be a big deal."
"But who are you? You can definitely do the job well." Han Zhengping said.
Gu Siqing turned her head and looked at him and asked, "Who am I?"
Han Zhengping: "What a genius writer, sticky rice dumplings!"
Gu Siqing laughed.
When they got out of the car at the TV station, Han Zhengping said to her, "Call me if you have anything."
Gu Siqing nodded, then took her information and the letter of introduction from the school to the gate. Seeing the letter of introduction from the school, the gatekeeper said, "Go to the personnel department after you enter."
"Okay, thank you!" Gu Siqing said with a smile.
At this time, a very beautiful girl came trotting over and also took out a letter of introduction. The gatekeeper said, "Then you two can come together. You are both interns."
"My name is Lu Xinyu, and I'm from the Radio and Television College. What's yours?"
"My name is Gu Siqing, from Peking University."
Lu Xinyu's eyes widened. "That's amazing! My classmates all say that the brains of Peking University students are different from ours."
Gu Siqing heard this for the first time and asked with a smile, "Why is it different?"
"Super smart!" Lu Xinyu said.
Gu Siqing thought this person had a good personality, and then she heard her whisper, "Are you nervous? I'm almost dying of nervousness."
Gu Siqing nodded, "I'm a little nervous too, but we'll be meeting the boss soon, so we have to pretend not to be nervous."
Lu Xinyu nodded and said, "I'll try my best to pretend."
Gu Siqing couldn't help laughing. Lu Xinyu was quite funny.
