To put it bluntly, that would be dirtying the hands of Minister Gu.
With her hand held by Gu Ziling, Xia Hong didn't pull away immediately as usual, but instead whispered in Gu Ziling's ear:
"Let him go. He's our newspaper's editor-in-chief. It's not good to break ties."
Working under the same roof, constantly seeing each other, can inevitably lead to awkwardness.
Gu Ziling's eyes flickered, and she spoke in a low voice as well:
"Let him go, but on what conditions?"
Xia Hong exclaimed, "Ah, are there any conditions required?" and asked in return.
Gu Ziling burst into laughter, a truly radiant laugh that almost revealed her true colors.
"Why wouldn't we need it? If there aren't any conditions, we absolutely cannot let this person go easily!"
How could Xia Hong not see the calculating smile that Gu Ziling was not hiding in her eyes and on her face?
The editor-in-chief was right; this man does nothing but scheme all day long!
The whole thing is a mastermind full of conspiracies and schemes!
But there seems to be nothing we can do; this man has found our weakness.
Xia Hong currently has no plans to leave the newspaper, so she didn't really hold a grudge against the editor-in-chief.
However, Xia Hong seemed to have forgotten one thing: how could Minister Gu, a man of great stature, let it go so easily when someone else had their eyes on his woman?
Moreover, this matter had already been under investigation since the last time.
Back in H Province, Gu Ziling, after much deliberation, couldn't resist and made a phone call to have people in the capital launch an investigation. Now, the investigation report is lying on her office desk.
This man was lucky; he didn't actually do anything to Xia Hong, otherwise...
"What do you want?" Xia Hong said irritably.
That's outrageous!
As for that certain excessive man, he didn't care at all, and his smile revealed a cunning and calculating nature:
"I think... from now on, you'll listen to me!" she replied slowly.
However, Xia Hong didn't need to consider it at all and decisively refused:
"impossible!"
What do you mean by "from now on I'll listen to you"? Why should I?
Let's not talk about now, but back then, wasn't it you, Minister Gu, who seemed to be the one who always obeyed orders?
In this regard, the idea that fortunes change is absolutely unacceptable.
Otherwise, how can the husband's authority be upheld?
Gu Ziling's face twitched a couple of times, but she didn't seem particularly surprised; this answer was clearly expected.
Or perhaps, they never really intended for Xia Hong to obediently agree, after all, they had only said half of what they wanted to say, and hadn't finished yet.
"How about today? From now until midnight, how about that? Can you agree now?"
This wasn't a slight reduction in requirements; Xia Hong thought about it and, finding no problem at all, nodded in agreement.
"good!"
Little did they know, they had fallen right into someone's trap.
Sure enough, Minister Gu laughed again, moving his arm from Xia Hong's hand to her waist, and his gaze returned to the editor-in-chief:
"The editor-in-chief can't be blind, can he?"
The tone and words he used when he opened his mouth were harsh and demanding, showing no politeness whatsoever.
Oh.
polite?
These two words could never be used to describe someone who steals their woman!
Not killing this guy right away is already being magnanimous; do you expect me to be polite?
Why don't you just dream about it?
His attitude of asserting sovereignty was so obvious that even a blind person could see it, let alone the editor-in-chief. It was clear that this man still held a skeptical attitude.
