After he typed the two words, he placed his fingers on the send button. But at the last second, he stopped.

He stared at the two words—which read “me too”—for some time and his ears started to turn red. He coughed once and deleted them. He retyped the message and sent it to her.

He only drove away with a smile after sending her the message.

Qiao Lian stood by the glass window in her office and watched the car drive away with reddened eyes.

Only after the car disappeared from her sight, did she take a deep breathe and lowered her head.

Picking up her phone, she saw the message he had just sent: I’ll take you home after work.

These six words were filled with such warmth, it made her want to cry.

The situation occurred once again.

He was so nice to her. Wouldn’t it cause her to be mistaken?

Or did he just feel indebted to her?

She curved her lips in self-mockery and casually threw her phone into her bag. Then, she walked to the lift and went up to her office.

Right when she entered her office, she was grabbed by Xiao Ye. She looked at her with confusion and saw that she was staring at the managing editor’s office oddly. Xiao Ye then exclaimed, “Su Meimei didn’t report to work today. I’ve heard that her face is extremely swollen now!”

Qiao Lian nodded and Xiao Ye continued, “Also, I don’t know what Su Meimei did but she had completed her job properly this time. Mo Ru has agreed to reschedule the interview with our news agency. And the managing editor has announced just now that he’ll hand over this interview to the Team Two.”

Her last sentence piqued a little of Qiao Lian’s interest.

She nodded and replied, “Ok, I will work hard.”

Xiao Ye nudged her arm and said, “That’s not what I meant. I was trying to say that you should beware of Su Meimei! If she was able to get Mo Ru’s interview, she still poses as a threat. But not anyone is able to compete with Fan Jie!”

After Xiao Ye finished speaking, the managing editor opened his office door. When he saw Qiao Lian after he stepped out of his office, he immediately walked over sheepishly and spoke, “Xiao Qiao, you’re here. So, I helped you appeal for the position of chief editor of Team Two. The appeal has been accepted and you’re officially the chief editor of Team Two from today onwards!”

As he ended his words, claps sounded through the office. Xiao Ye was really excited, as she screamed while grabbing onto Qiao Lian.

Qiao Lian gave everyone a smile and followed the managing editor to the office area of Team Two. Liu Zhixing said, “Xiao Qiao, Team Two has officially been formed. You can put up employment adds online now.”

Qiao Lian was confused. “Can’t I get some people from the Team One?”

Liu Zhixing laughed and replied her question, “Team One refuses to let anyone change. You know that we don’t have much manpower in our news agency.”

Qiao Lian could only agree to him as she replied, “Ok.”

“Oh, yes, Meimei isn’t feeling well today, so she requested for a week’s leave and I’ve agreed to it.”

“… Ok.”

After Liu Zhixing left, she heard a loud thwack outside the moment she sat down at her desk. It sounded like a document being slammed onto a table.

The noise which came after it sounded like an argument.

Qiao Lian stood up and walked out. She was met with the sight of Team One’s chief editor, Zhang Chunhua, scolding Xiao Ye. “You still are in the mood to laugh when you aren’t even able to complete your work well? What are you laughing at? It’s her promotion, what does it have to do with you? I think that you just have too much free time. Rewrite all these manuscripts!”

When Qiao Lian heard this, she narrowed her eyes. She had immediately understood that Zhang Chunhua was venting her anger on Xiao Ye.
