He Chen glanced at it and didn’t reply immediately.
She thought about it and realized that there had indeed been such an incident. It had always been Chang Ning and Slag Dragon being held responsible for it, but this year, Slag Dragon had returned to China to fight for his title. Chang Ning hadn’t been able to ask Qin Ran for help, and Giant Crocodile had been busy dealing with the Underground Alliance.
Thinking about it this way, it seemed like she was the only one who was free?
He Chen leaned back and thought for a little while before agreeing—
[Okay.]
On the other end of the phone, Chang Ning heaved a sigh of relief when he received the news. Sure enough, He Chen was easier to talk to than Qin Ran.
The He family was still receiving relatives and neighbors.
The He family’s hall wasn’t very lively.
Father He knew that He Jinxin was coming back and had specially invited a bunch of relatives to show off.
“Auntie, Grandma, your Jinxin is really promising. She really brings honor to your ancestors.” He Chen’s aunt nudged her son and daughter closer to He Jinxin. “Look, this is your cousin…”
Grandma He also introduced her to her aunt and the others. “This is Xiao Chen.”
“Xiao Chen, where are you working now?” Since she was He Jinxin’s sister, they showed interest and asked further about her.
After finding out that she was a small reporter, they showed little interest in her and perfunctorily said a few words before transferring their attention to He Jinxin.
He Chen seldom stayed at home and wasn’t very familiar with these relatives. She was happy to just sit on the sofa and play with her mobile phone.
Auntie and the chef brought the dishes out during lunch.
When Father He saw He Chen still sitting on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone, he said in a displeased voice, “Come over and eat with us. You’re always looking at your mobile phone. When will you do something more practical?”
In the dining room, the whole He family finally became quieter.
Grandma He and Mother He kept feeding He Jinxin with dishes.
He Jinxin was a female politician. If placed in ancient times, she would be a powerful empress. It was just that she was busy with government affairs all year round and couldn’t stay home for many days despite having just tied the knot a few years ago.
She was married to a politician, and according to the time, she had married into an above-average family. The man was outstanding and was from Beijing.
Father He was very satisfied with the family that He Jinxin had married into. In order to prevent her from marrying into a lowly family, Father He had spent lots of money and efforts and had even sent his collection of famous paintings worth tens of millions yuan as dowry. Furthermore, he had bought a real estate dowry in the center of Beijing, which was also convenient for He Jinxin to work.
“Nothing happened in Beijing, right?” Father He suddenly remembered something and asked He Jinxin.
He Jinxin’s return this time was indeed beyond Father He’s expectations. It just so happened that the bureaucracy was indeed in turmoil recently.
Father He wasn’t an insider and wasn’t quite clear about this.
Upon hearing this, He Jinxin shook her head. “Nothing happened, don’t worry.”
Father He couldn’t take part in He Jinxin’s affairs and just nodded without asking further. He turned to He Chen and said, “Quit the newspaper job and prepare for the civil service examination in November this year.”
“No.” He Chen didn’t even bother lifting her head.
“Do you like Qu…” Father He was about to say something else, but thinking about the presence of the other relatives today who didn’t know about He Chen’s divorce, he trailed off and didn’t continue.
…
After dinner.
He Jinxin asked He Chen to find her.
He Chen nodded. “I’ll go back and take a shower.”
Downstairs, Father He stared at her back. “Don’t quarrel with your sister. You’re so big already, but you still have to make your sister worry!”
He Chen still ignored him.
After her shower, she changed into her home clothes before going to He Jinxin’s study to find her.
He Jinxin had a separate study at home.
When He Chen entered, she was having a video conference with someone. Upon seeing her enter, He Jinxin just raised her hand and told her to sit for a while.
20 minutes later, He Jinxin finished her meeting and looked up at her. “You divorced Qu Zixiao?”
He Chen nodded. “Yeah.”
He Jinxin stared at her for a long time and finally sighed. He Chen and Qu Zixiao had been in a flash marriage and were now on a business trip. If she had been in China, she would definitely have prevented this absurd marriage.
“Take these tickets.” He Jinxin took the tickets for the Universal Photography Exhibition from the drawer and handed them to her. “Don’t provoke Dad in the future. You know he hates to see the way you handle business. Don’t take the civil servant’s exam. There are too many things to handle in the government sector, you’re not suitable for it.”
He Chen glanced at the ticket and then at He Jinxin. This was the first time she heard such things from her. “I’m too lazy to haggle with him.”
After a pause, He Chen couldn’t help but ask, “Sister, you met with some awkward business?”
He Jinxin said lightly, “Of course.”
She had entered the bureaucracy at the age of 20 and had been a campus belle since young. Young and beautiful, she was an unforgettable flower among others.
The He family was only a scholarly family and couldn’t be He Jinxin’s backing, especially after the death of Old Master He. Hence, she had suffered a lot of hidden losses.
Since the family couldn’t help her with these issues, He Jinxin never told them about it.
Her high-ranking position was only a topic for idle conversation.
But she didn’t expect He Chen’s face to sink instead. “Who?”
“Forget it. This person is too disgusting to even talk about, you shouldn’t involve yourself.” He Jinxin couldn’t help but smile when she saw her reaction. She continued looking at her computer and clicked on a video. “Hurry in and rest.”
The video just turned on and a man appeared on the screen.
He Chen calmly suppressed the issue to the back of her mind and leaned over to greet the man. “Good evening, brother-in-law.”
Then, she opened the door and left.
Once outside, she frowned and sent a message to Qin Ran—
[I’ll come out tomorrow and treat you to milk tea.]
He Chen didn’t dare to find Qin Ran for a drink and could only treat her to milk tea.
After He Chen left, He Jinxin frowned slightly.
On the computer, the man said, “I’ll suppress the Qu family’s license for you.”
He Jinxin looked up, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Continue suppressing them.”
“I’ve already suppressed it until next month. I know you’re protecting your sister, how would I dare to approve it?” The man chuckled.
He Jinxin picked up a pen and nodded. Although she wasn’t in Beijing, she had also seen Qu Zixiao’s scandals from her secretary. Even if the news was fake, based on Qu Zixiao’s attitude in ignoring it, He Jinxin didn’t intend to take it lightly.
…
The next day.
He Chen went to the newspaper agency to hand in the press release.
The review department looked at the press release submitted by He Chen and didn’t dare to approve it, so he directly handed it to Chairman Zhou.
“She interviewed Guan Chi already?” Surprised, Chairman Zhou raised his eyebrows and took the press release.
He was very clear how difficult it was to invite Guan Chi for an interview. He was a financial upstart, and it wasn’t easy to put him on the front cover. Yesterday, he had wanted to knock down He Chen with this incident.
However, he didn’t expect her to really settle an interview with him.
“Show it to me first.” Chairman Zhou reached out for the press release.
He Chen’s press release wasn’t particularly official. She hadn’t beautified Guan Chi at all in the article, and said he was fickle and had a bad temper… Finally, she also summed up and said she didn’t know how such a nonchalant person had become a financial upstart.
How could an interviewer write such things?
Not to mention how this press release had been passed to Guan Chi already. The audit department hadn’t dared to pass it and had given it to Chairman Zhou first.
If this was sent to Guan Chi to review, wouldn’t the newspaper agency completely offend him?
Chairman Zhou froze for a moment after reading it, feeling somewhat surprised inside. He Chen’s writing was indeed different from ordinary press releases.
“How would I dare to show this to Chairman Guan,” the reviewer said, at a loss.
But in the whole department, only He Chen had interviewed Guan Chi.
Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhou narrowed his eyes. “Have you confirmed it with He Chen?”
“She said that this is her press release script…” The reviewer hesitated.
Chairman Zhou pondered slightly. “Send the manuscript to GC.”
The reviewer was stunned, but Chairman Zhou’s expression didn’t seem to be joking, so he sent the manuscript written by He Chen over.
About 20 minutes later, the reviewer received a reply.
Looking at the words “no problem” on the screen, he almost wondered if he was illiterate, and went back to show Chairman Zhou in disbelief.
Despite expecting such an answer, Chairman Zhou was still surprised.
After a long while, he chuckled softly.
This person who was taken care of by his predecessor Chairman Jiang was indeed interesting.
The phone rang and he picked up. “Aunt Qu.”
“Hello.” Madam Qu responded and then asked with a smile, “How was the girl that I introduced to you last time?”
Chairman Zhou calmly replied, “I’ve been busy recently.”
He glossed over the matter quickly.
In fact, he hadn’t even read the WeChat message sent by Madam Qu.
…
He Chen ran another cat hunting news in the afternoon.
After returning to the agency, she sat down with the rest of the department for a discussion.
“This year’s stadium is in Continent O, but unfortunately, I can’t go because I didn’t manage to snatch a ticket.” Li Yushan sat with them and sighed.
He Chen drafted a press release on the side and didn’t answer.
When she got off work, she wrote a press release about cat hunting.
Li Yushan was talking to a few people when news about Qu Zixiao and Song Qingqing popped up on the computer. She stopped talking and kept sulking.
She was still sulking by herself when she got off work with He Chen.
“Sister Chen, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Li Yushan turned off the computer and followed behind He Chen.
Having seen the news on the computer, He Chen sighed and said, “Wait, I have an appointment tonight.”
“Are you sure?” Li Yushan glanced at her, seemingly to confirm her mood.
He Chen remembered the conversation of those in the office and reached out to pinch Li Yushan’s face. She laughed and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you along.”
“Huh?” Li Yushan was taken aback.
He Chen flagged down a taxi.
When the taxi stopped, she stuffed Li Yushan directly into the back seat, and then casually went in as well. She said to the driver, “Please head to Yunxin Building.”
Li Yushan followed He Chen all the way to the private restaurant, which looked very high-end. She couldn’t help but feel a little ill at ease. “Sister Chen, won’t it be bad if I follow you…”
“She doesn’t mind.” He Chen asked for the room number and took Li Yushan inside.
Without even knocking on the door, she directly kicked it open with her foot.
