Country X was a poor and backward country.
The royal family wanted to build a large project there and the Capital’s broadcasting station had received instructions from the higher-ups to send several hosts over to follow and report.
The conditions there were tough and most famous hosts were unwilling to go.
Xie Ancheng looked at the name list and his gaze landed on Su Yalin. “Yalin, I hope you’ll work hard after you go over.”
Su Yalin’s face paled and the hands under the conference table clenched into tight fists.
Her lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end, she could only say, “Okay.”
After the meeting, Su Yalin returned to her seat with her head lowered.
Gu Fei was a little surprised. “If it was in the past, she would have long caused a ruckus, right?”
Ning Yuan also felt that something was wrong with Su Xiaolin.
After work in the morning, Ning Yuan and Gu Fei went to the canteen for lunch.
After returning to the office, she went to the washroom.
Ning Yuan was about to come out of the cubicle when she suddenly heard suppressed crying.
“Just a loan of $100,000. I promise I’ll return it to you as soon as possible… What did you say? You want me to sleep with you? We’ve been friends for so many years, but you actually said such things?”
“Hey, hey…”
Ning Yuan pushed open the cubicle door a crack and looked at Su Ya Lin, who was lying on the sink, her shoulders trembling and she frowned.
Had Su Ya Lin met with an obstacle that she could not get over?
After work, Ning Yuan hailed a taxi and followed behind the bus Su Xiaolin was taking.
Su Yalin had a car before, but she had not seen her driving it recently.
Su Yalin got off at the city hospital.
Ning Yuan followed.
Su Yalin entered a ward in the hospital.
Ning Yuan looked at the window and saw Su Yalin wiping a middle-aged woman’s face, wiping her hands and feeding her. She was surprised. Wasn’t that Su Yalin’s mother?
When Su Ya Lin came out of the hospital, it was already dark.
She was about to go home to take a bath before coming back when she suddenly heard someone calling her. “Su Xiaolin.”
Su Yalin turned back and looked at the woman walking over from the dark. “Ning Yuan?”
Seeing Ning Yuan, Su Xiaolin immediately tidied her slightly messy hair and raised her chin slightly like a fighting chicken. “Ning Yuan, why are you here?”
“What happened to your mother?” Ning Yuan asked directly.
Su Yalin’s straight shoulders drooped in an instant. She did not want to lose face and dignity in front of Ning Yuan, but she could not control her emotions.
Tears filled her eyes and she wrapped her arms around her chest, saying with a choked voice, “My mother’s lower body is paralyzed and my father ran away with a wild woman with his family’s savings. I still can’t find him.”
“I sold the car and used all my money to treat my mother, but I still need a lot of money for the follow-up…” Su Xiaolin covered her tear-streaked face with her hands, her voice choked. “What I’m most afraid of is that if I go to Country X, what will happen to my mother?”
Ning Yuan had worked with Su Yalin for a year or two and she naturally understood Su Yalin’s strong personality.
She treated her as a competitor and never showed any weakness in front of her. Even when Xie Ancheng announced that she was going to Country X this morning, she did not show any unhappiness.
Ning Yuan knew that she was crying because she was in a desperate situation.
“I still have some savings. Take it first!”
Hearing Ning Yuan’s words, Su Xiaolin’s eyes widened slightly. “Why are you willing to lend me money?”
“Su Yalin, believe it or not, I’ve never treated you as an enemy.” Ning Yuan found Su Yalin’s WeChat and transferred her a hundred thousand dollars.
By the time Su Xiaolin reacted, Ning Yuan had already left in the car.
Su Ya Lin felt a lump in her throat and she thanked him with trembling lips.
She knew so many good friends and famous people. She thought she was invincible, but the cruel reality made her see the world clearly.
None of those people were willing to help her or wanted her body to betray her!
On the other hand, Ning Yuan, who she usually targeted, was willing to lend a helping hand at the critical moment!
When Su Yalin went to work the next day, Xie Ancheng called her into his office.
“Someone has already gone to Country X for you. You’d better do a good job on Celebrity.”
Su Xiaolin was a little dazed. When she regained her senses, a figure appeared in her mind. “Ning Yuan?”
Xie Ancheng nodded. “According to Ning Yuan’s recent performance as the host, she is clearly more suitable for our show’s style. But this morning, she suggested to me to go to Country X with a firm attitude and even submitted an application letter to the higher-ups. I had no choice but to agree.”
Su Yalin cupped her mouth, her eyes red and swollen as she rushed out of Xie Ancheng’s office.
Seeing Ning Yuan working, she rushed toward her.
Seeing that something was wrong with Su Xiaolin, Gu Fei stood up and stopped her. “What are you doing? It was the higher-ups’ decision to let you go to X Country. It’s useless for you to make trouble for Ning Yuan!”
The moment Gu Fei finished speaking, tears fell from Su Xiaolin’s eyes.
Everyone else in the office looked over.
Gu Fei was at a loss.
“Hey, why are you crying? I’m just telling the truth. You’re crying like I’ve bullied you!”
Ning Yuan took a few pieces of paper and handed them to Su Xiaolin. “Don’t cry. Actually, I didn’t go to Country X on your behalf to help you. I want to go myself. I might be in a better state if I change my environment!”
Everyone else in the office was stunned.
Gu Fei looked at Ning Yuan in confusion. “You’re going to Country X in place of Su Xiaolin?”
“That’s right. Actually, it’s not bad to go there. It’s a chance to learn and improve!”
The colleagues who had opinions against Ning Yuan in the office in the past could not help but admire her when they saw her being so calm and optimistic.
Su Yalin went forward and gave Ning Yuan a hug.
Ning Yuan patted Su Yalin’s shoulder. “Good luck.”
….
After confirming the direction of her work, Ning Yuan started to do some handover work and preparations before going abroad.
She rarely thought about how to conquer Ye Yu anymore.
The awkwardness and embarrassment from before should slowly dissipate with her going to Country X.
She was still young and had to put more energy into her work, not to take revenge on Ning Shiyu and think about how to conquer a man!
….
Crown Palace.
When Ye Yu went back, he happened to hear Ye Tian calling.
“It’s been a long time since we met. Shall we meet this weekend?”
“You can go to the clubhouse. I’ll inform you when I’ve booked a private room.”
After Ye Tian ended the call, she realized that someone was looking at her. She turned around and met with Ye Yu’s deep black eyes.
“Second Brother, you’re back early today.”
Recently, Ye Yu worked overtime every day and came back late. Ye Tian felt that she had not seen him for a long time.
Ye Yu walked up to Ye Tian and caressed her head lightly as usual. “Who are you meeting this weekend?”
