Chapter 13: Chapter 13 Ranran, I Have Dragged You Down
Ye Ranran looked at Jiang Ning, pursed her lips, and first pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her forehead before she said, "The TV station is a place that values reason. Let's go and talk to them, paying for the damages should solve the problem."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning grasped Ye Ranran's hand and shook her head, saying, "This is a limited edition, money won't solve it. Ranran, I've dragged you into this!"
Ye Ranran furrowed her brows; accidents were uncontrollable, and it couldn't be said that Jiang Ning had dragged her into anything.
However, having just entered Huacheng two days ago, she was somewhat unwilling to leave under such circumstances.
Noticing the melancholy on both their faces, Xiao Sichen, holding an umbrella, shielded Ye Ranran from the rain; a hint of concern flickered in his eyes. "What's wrong?"
Ye Ranran turned her head and sighed softly, "This is a limited edition camera from the TV station. The logistics department asked us to deliver it to Qianjiang Hotel, but we accidentally broke it just now. According to the station's rules, newcomers like us could be fired."
"Fired then fired, Fengguang Media's TV station is better than Huacheng," Xiao Sichen's tone was somewhat domineering.
Ye Ranran was taken aback for a moment and smiled helplessly, "But we are currently with Huacheng. And if we do leave, it should be with our heads held high. Because of these events, Jiang Ning and I won't be able to hold our heads up in the future."
After understanding Ye Ranran's thoughts, Xiao Sichen's gaze fell on the broken camera, pausing for two seconds before he spoke, "Both of you, come with me to the car first."
Ye Ranran knit her brows, puzzled, "To the car?"
"Xiao Jinyao and Xiao Ziqian are in the car, they miss you," Xiao Sichen whispered lowly.
When Ye Ranran heard this and thought of the adorable appearances of the two little ones, a smile unwittingly spread across her lips. She looked at Jiang Ning, "Let's go see the kids first; we can figure out what to do about the camera afterward."
Jiang had stopped crying, her expression complex as she glanced at Xiao Sichen, picked up the camera from the ground, and nodded, "Okay."
Inside the stretch Lincoln.
As soon as Ye Ranran got into the car, she saw the two little ones gesturing heart shapes towards her, but she dared not hold them.
"My clothes are wet, it wouldn't be appropriate to hold you," she explained.
The little Lolita nodded, then turned to look at her own father, tugging at the sleeve of his suit.
Xiao Sichen understood immediately and took off his suit jacket to hand it to Ye Ranran, "Yaoyao wants you to wear it."
Ye Ranran didn't understand the little one's hint, but seeing her expectant look, she wore the coat.
Then the next second, the soft, fragrant little Lolita hugged her, rubbing her face against hers, her mouth curving into a delightful smile.
The previously melancholic Jiang, seeing such a refined child, got bright-eyed, "Ranran, your daughter is so cute, she looks just like you!"
Ye Ranran glanced at Xiao Sichen first, then quickly explained to Jiang, "This isn't my daughter, she's Mr. Xiao's daughter."
"Not your daughter?" Jiang touched her chin, looking between the little Lolita and Ye Ranran, surprised that they weren't mother and daughter.
Noticing Jiang's expression, Ye Ranran was about to explain when her phone suddenly rang.
It was Lin Mo'er calling.
She was now the team leader of the newcomers, often "caring" about her work and the work of others.
This call was definitely not good news.
"Hello, Miss Lin, what's up?" Ye Ranran's tone was cool.
The other party snorted, speaking irritably, "Ye Ranran, what are you and Jiang pulling? Today is the newcomers' introduction meeting, why haven't you come yet?"
"What? A newcomers' introduction meeting? No one informed us."
"Am I not informing you now? Qianjiang Hotel banquet hall, bring the logistics department's camera and hurry over!" Lin Mo'er paused, then scoffed coldly, "You've got one hour. If you can't make it, don't bother coming ever again."
After speaking, Lin Mo'er hung up the phone directly.
Then she turned to Ye Xuefu, smiling smugly, "Rest assured, I have given Jiang a broken camera from the logistics department; they are doomed today."
Ye Xuefu nodded, "You handle things well, I trust you the most."
Ye Ranran, hearing the other end hang up, clenched her teeth in anger, gripping her phone, wishing she could rush over and wreak havoc immediately.
Jiang, hearing Ye Ranran speak, had already analyzed most of the situation; Lin Mo'er had done it on purpose, using the logistics department to make them late.
Director Shao dislikes employees who are late, and the newcomers' introduction meeting was so important... "She really is sinister."
Ye Ranran was also furious at the moment. Even if they brought the broken camera on time, there would be trouble.
She was utterly annoyed; she didn't want to lose to Ye Xuefu under these circumstances.
At that time, the car was already driving on the elevated road. Xiao Sichen had not spoken, just quietly watching Ye Ranran, not missing any small expression of hers.
"Ranran, where are we going?" Jiang glanced out the window, pulling Ye Ranran back from her anger.
Ye Ranran was startled, looking towards Xiao Sichen.
Xiao Sichen slowly buttoned his shirt, his tone unhurried, "To Fengguang Media."
"What are we doing there?" Jiang asked hurriedly.
Xiao Sichen didn't answer, continuing to look at Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran blinked, looking bewilderedly at Xiao Sichen, but didn't speak.
She thought Xiao Sichen probably wanted to go there to inspect, and they would be dropped off halfway.
However, after driving for ten more minutes, Ye Ranran and Jiang were still not dropped off.
Outside the gates of Fengguang Media, two men breathlessly rushed over.
Xiao Sichen, along with Ye Ranran and Jiang, got out of the car.
"President Xiao, we've brought all the cameras you requested, do you need us to stay?" asked the man in the gray suit cautiously.
Ye Ranran was surprised to find that the cameras in the man's hands were of the same model as theirs.
No, theirs were of a higher grade.
A limited edition of limited editions.
"No need, give these two to them, and take the two in the car back for repairs," Xiao Sichen replied coldly.
The two men, hearing this, looked at Ye Ranran and then at Jiang, immediately a bit confused.
Ye Ranran, although covered in a suit, was unrecognizable, but Jiang was wearing a uniform from Huacheng TV Station.
Though Fengguang Media and Huacheng TV Station were not outright enemies, being competitors, they hadn't refrained from fighting over resources and news.
This blatant competition, and yet President Xiao was letting them give cameras to people from Huacheng.
What did this mean, was Fengguang planning to take over Huacheng?
Or did one of these two women happen to be President Xiao's girlfriend?
Being scrutinized by the two men, Ye Ranran also felt a sense of melancholy. She turned to look at Xiao Sichen, pursing her lips, her feelings complicated as she said, "Mr. Xiao, Fengguang's cameras are more advanced than Huacheng's."
Her implication was clear; she couldn't take it with her.
Xiao Sichen raised his hand to check the time on his watch, "There are less than forty minutes left. There are two paths: take the camera and go on a rampage, or leave disheveled, trampled underfoot.
Miss Ye is a smart woman; you should know which to choose, right?"
Ye Ranran clenched her fists, bit her teeth forcefully, "I choose to go on a rampage!"
