Chapter 544 Losing Face

“Chief Editor Xia, can you hear my voice and guess who I am?”

The caller has a young and pleasing voice, suggesting he is probably not old.

Xia Ning pauses. She seems to have heard this familiar voice before, but she cannot remember it.

“Sorry, your voice does ring a bell, but I really can’t remember your name...”

“Hahaha!” The caller laughs and does not feel offended, “It seems that I’m not that good at making coffee to make Chief Editor Xia remember me.”

Xia Ning’s eyes light up at his words as if she remembers something, “Yes, I remember. You’re from the WAITTINGFORYOU coffee shop! So sorry, man, I’m bad at remembering things. Please don’t take it personally.”

“I should also say this to you. Let me introduce myself. I’m Beitang Xiu. My family name is Beitang. Chief Editor Xia, are you free for the moment? Can I have your time to discuss the business concerning Tianyu Entertainment Company?”

Xia Ning is concerned at his words. Yi Yunrui said that Tianyu Entertainment Company would experience a dramatic change the other day. Beitang Xiu seems to be at the centre of it.

She checks her schedule and answers, “I have an hour for you. How would you like us to meet, Mr. Beitang?”

“I’ll meet you at your place now.”

When Leng Weiwei wakes up, Yi Yuntian has long gone. Leng Weiwei feels bitter seeing the unoccupied bed.

When did he leave? How come she knew nothing about it?

She had some alcohol last night. Alcohol and the pills made her wake up at some time past eight.

There are some missed calls on her phone from Yi Yuntian. Leng Weiwei finally feels heartened.

Meanwhile, a message comes saying, “Dear, wake up, or you’ll be late for work.”

Ha, Yi Yuntian failed to wake her up with his morning calls, so he switched to the message reminder.

Leng Weiwei is about to reply when another call comes.

“I’m up! You’re so annoying!”

“Ah, finally? I was thinking about calling my sister-in-law to ask for a leave for you if you were still sleeping.”

Leng Weiwei feels worried, “No worries. I’m the deputy editor there, and the time is more flexible. I don’t need to ask for permission for minor issues.”

“I see,” Yi Yuntian’s words are with a rising intonation, “There’s some pastry in the kitchen. You can have some. See you this evening, babe.”

“See you then.” Leng Weiwei hangs up the phone and sighs with relief.

Yi Yuntian does not seem to know that she has given herself a long break.

Luckily, she woke up just in time. Otherwise, he would have exposed her lie had he phoned Xia Ning.

Yi Yuntian just said “see you this evening”. It seems that he will only be back in the evening. She can stay at home, not going anywhere. But in case this man changes his plan, she has to go out and pass some time.

To be honest, she is not familiar with the places to have fun.

She does not know how to have “fun”.

She has been under Yi Yuntian’s control these days. She loves to find some men to play with. There will be plenty of men in the club if the money is enough.

But the problem is Yi Yuntian, who is too powerful. She can bet that before she has enough fun, these men will already be deadly dead.

Shivering, Leng Weiwei casts away her thoughts.

Getting out of bed, Leng Weiwei walks towards the kitchen. The delicious smell of cakes attacks her when she opens the kitchen door.

And then she has breakfast in bed with various kinds of delicate pastry, Chinese, Western, French... Like a buffet.

Leng Weiwei shakes her head. Yi Yuntian does not know what food she likes, so he almost brought every stuff from the delicatessen.

Welcome to the world of the rich. They have too much money to spend.

The corner of her mouth slightly lifts. Leng Weiwei brushes her teeth and washes her face before she starts enjoying the enticing cakes on the table in front of her.

These cakes are unbelievably delicious.

Meanwhile, the phone in her pocket vibrates. Yi Yuntian texts her again.

“Babe, how do you like the cake?”

Leng Weiwei smiles and replies, “Not bad. But it’s too much for me to finish all of them.”

Yi Yuntian’s message arrives quickly, “I don’t know which one you like.”

Leng Weiwei pauses. She replies to him in her heart, “All of them.”

But what she has texted is different, “I won’t tell you. Have a guess.”

Yi Yuntian replies to her quickly, “Babe, I’ll talk to you later this evening. I’m boarding. Don’t miss me too much.”

Leng Weiwei purses her lips and puts down her phone. She takes a big bite of the Tiramisu in her hand.

Who makes this Tiramisu? It tastes so authentic.

“Shu, we’ll have an important visitor later. Will you be able to receive him?” Xia Ning is pondering over the name Beitang Xiu. Who is this guy?

She cannot recall the family name of “Beitang” in C City. He is so good at hiding.

Tianyu Entertainment Company is too huge to take over quickly. But Beitang Xiu manages to do so in a short time. It is merely a couple of days since Huo Zhanpeng is under police investigation. This man is efficient.

He is not easy to deal with!

But Yi Yunrui seems to know this already. Xia Ning contemplates before she dials Yi Yunrui.

Yi Yunrui picks up after a while. He keeps his voice low, “Dear, I’m at a meeting. Is there any emergency?”

“Oops, nothing. Please call me back when you are free. So sorry for interrupting.” Xia Ning hurries to hang up.

Sticking tongue out, Xia Ning puts down her phone. She sees that Jing Shu is still at her seat and pondering something with a stupid face.

Didn’t the little girl hear what she just said?

“Shu, Shu?” Jing Shu is still absent-minded despite being called several times. Xia Ning frowns. She walks towards Jing Shu to pat her, “Shu!”

“Ah!” As if being suddenly awakened, Jing Shu pops out her eyes, “Sister Xia, why are you...”

“What are you thinking? I called you several times, but you didn’t answer. What’s wrong?”

“Hmm?” Jing Shu scratches her head. Did Sister Xia call her? “So sorry, I didn’t catch it. Sister Xia, could you please say that again?”

“The new owner of Tianyu, Beitang Xiu, will visit World Era Weekly. Could you please receive him?”

“Beitang Xiu?” Who? She never hears of him.

Xia Ning nods, “I don’t know who he is. But my husband seems to know something. Anyway, please collect yourself and not make fun of yourself in front of him.”

“Yes. No worries, Sister Xia. I know what to do.” Jing Shu tidied herself up, “I’ll be outside.”

It is all the stupid man Zhang Hai’s fault. If not for him, she would not be absent-minded.

Zhang Hai gave her a romantic rejection. She wonders if that is because of Christine...

Jing Shu cannot help but cast a glance over the place where Christine works.

The new deputy editor and her assistant are all top-class beauties, making her jealous.

Clenching her teeth, Jing Shu is reminded of what Xia Ning has said that no personal feelings at work shall be to keep professional.

Jing Shu then takes a peek at the large office building. She can use some coffee before Beitang Xiu is here.

Thus, she goes to the office pantry to serve herself a cup of coffee.

There is coffee, milk, and soya milk in the pantry. Though not as authentic as what she makes for Xia Ning every day, it still tastes good.

Jing Shu takes a sip when Christine stands up from her chair and starts to chat with someone. Jing Shu cannot help but take another peek.

“Wow!”

Jing Shu hit “something” just a few steps later.

It is hard as a wall.

And then she spilt her coffee.

After stepping back to regain her balance, Jing Shu lifts her head.

What a pair of beautiful eyes!

They are so clear and bright as obsidian that people will be glued to them.

The person standing in front of her has a beautiful oval-shaped face and a gentle and clean aura, making people comfortable.

Jing Shu is awed. She finally realizes her rudeness a few seconds later when she sees the coffee stain all over the white shift the person is wearing. She blurts out, “So sorry, Miss! I wasn’t looking while walking. So sorry about your cloth...”

Jing Shu bowed to apologize. The person who is spilt liquid looks surprised.

“What do you say?”

“Hmm?” Jing Shu pauses and feels that the person is about to swear, which will definitely embarrass her when Beitang is here, “Miss, calm. It’s all on me. I was being stupid, not looking while walking. Please get it changed, and I’ll take it to the laundry. If it’s damaged, I’ll pay you the price. Does it sound alright?”

The person looks amused.

“Little girl, you are ‘stupid’ indeed.”

“...” Normally, Jing Shu will already be provoked, but she can only be subservient for now, given that an important visitor is on his way, “Yes, I am stupid. I’m so sorry...”

“Alright, no worries.” The beauty turns around to talk to someone behind, “Give me another outfit.”

“Yes, young master!”

Hearing the phrase “young master”, Jing Shu is shocked!

What? So, this person is male?

It is now Jing Shu’s turn to pop out her eyes and take a good look at the person.

The face, the hairstyle, the body... Speaking of which, the breasts are unnoticeable, which she just realizes... They look so feminine!

“So, you are male.”

Beitang Xiu laughs at Jing Shu’s surprised face, “What? I don’t look like a male?”

So, the little girl was saying that he looked feminine.

She almost yells out the words “not at all”. Feeling the gaze from all over the building, Jing Shu now thinks she has lost her face.

“Hmm, dude, what I was saying is that you look too pretty for a man. Haha...”
