"Chen Fang, do I need you to point fingers at my assignment?" He was, after all, the editor. Being respectful to you in normal times did not mean that he would be trampled by you. The editor still had the authority and authority to be the editor.
Chen Fang was also a little afraid of the editor's reprimand, but after saying all that, she went all out, "Editor, she's new, why are you so protective? Is there something between the two of you that no one knows about? "I was just saying how you managed to recruit someone in, and he's not a professional at that."
"Chen Fang, clean your mouth. I'll talk about the matter." What's wrong with this painting? This painting meets all the requirements, so don't pick out the bones in the eggs. "
ShuShu was caught off guard. She stood up and advised, "Editor, Sister Fang, please don't make such a ruckus. If this painting doesn't work out, I can just redraw it."
Chen Fang waved her hand. "What repainting? We entered the printing press this morning, how could we make it in time?"
In front of so many colleagues, Chen Fang pointed and pointed. The editor was so angry that her face turned green, "Chen Fang, come to my office. Don't affect everyone's work."
Chen Fang followed behind the editor, swearing, "Editor, if it wasn't me, how could you let someone with no experience take over such an important job? She's only been here for a few days, but she can draw an illustrator? Are you kidding me? Then do we, the senior staff, still need to live? to resign and go home. "
Once the door to the editor's office was closed, the two of them started quarrelling inside. There were loud noises that could be heard from outside.
As her colleagues discussed this, Shu Shu felt wronged.
"ShuShu, don't take it to heart. I think you drew very well. That Chen Fang is a fox pretending to be strong."
"That's right, ShuShu, don't bother with such a despicable person. We've all suffered at her hands before, she's just like a lunatic."
Hearing the comfort of her colleagues, Shu Shu felt better. "Alright, I understand."
A fox taking advantage of a tiger's might? In other words, there was someone behind Chen Fang.
After a while, Chen Fang angrily walked out of the chief editor's office. Her eyes were red as if she had been crying. She stared at ShuShu with a fierce gaze, causing her to shudder.
"Shu Shu, come in for a moment." The editor came out and said.
"Oh, okay."
Closing the door, Shu Shu saw the worried look on the editor's face. It seemed that Chen Fang was a difficult person to deal with.
Editor, I know that I'm not that professional, so I drew it the moment I came. Everyone must be unhappy, so why don't we do it the way the company does? And she knew that an internship was not qualified to touch illustrations.
"Don't worry, you drew very well. Don't listen to Chen Fang's blabbering. If you didn't draw well, I wouldn't have immediately decided to go print it." The editor felt a little embarrassed, "It's my fault. She got angry at me."
ShuShu was confused. What did the editor mean?
"In the future, she will restrain herself a little. You just have to focus on your work and ignore her. I'm the one who spoiled her temper. In the future, I will still hand over my work to you.
ShuShu could roughly tell that there was something fishy going on. Chen Fang's relationship with the chief editor was not ordinary.
"Editor-in-Chief, don't worry. I will draw it well."
"En, that's good. Also, don't tell the CEO about this, it's not easy for Chen Fang. She has been painting here for five or six years, she's just a bit impulsive. If it gets to the CEO, she will lose her job."
"I understand." Understood, really understood. There must be a relationship between the editor and Chen Fang. Father and daughter? Impossible, it might be a relative, or it might be... Lovers.
The editor was a middle-aged man in her fifties. She seemed to be engaged in writing all year round, and her body smelled like books, just like an old teacher. Chen Fang was only in her early thirties, but it couldn't be seen at all when she was dressed up. On the contrary, she was even more exotic compared to some young girls who had just emerged from society.
The two of them were not even close to each other, and ShuShu was more willing to believe that they were related to each other by blood.
Walking out of the editor's office, a sentence drifted into ShuShu's ears. It was a discussion between two colleagues at the next table. "The editor favors the newlyweds. Sister Fang is jealous."
Shu Shu frowned, but she still calmly returned to her seat. Regardless of the relationship between the editor and Chen Fang, it had nothing to do with her.
When she was about to get off work, Shu received a call from a man who claimed to be Liu Ziye. She held her phone tightly, feeling very nervous.
"Shu Shu, I'm your father." Just as Liu Ziye opened his mouth to speak, he heard a choked voice, "You're really back?"
Shu Shu's heart began to tremble inexplicably. This was her father, but she had no impression of him. At least, she still had some memory of her mother, but she really had no impression of her father.
"Shu Shu, are you there?"
"On... "Hello."
"I heard Yao Yao say that your current situation is pretty good. I miss you very much. I want to meet you. Are you willing to meet me?"
ShuShu nodded subconsciously, but she noticed that she was nodding her head over here. Since the other party couldn't see her, she said, "Okay, I'm free tomorrow, Saturday."
"Okay, okay, thank you for being willing to see me."
After arranging a time and place, when Shu hung up the phone, she still felt very lost. She sat blankly in her seat for a long time.
The next day, he asked Little Wang to drive him to the restaurant they had agreed on. Shu Shu saw Liu Ziye at the window. She had a feeling that the man with white hair at his temples was Liu Ziye.
When Liu Ziye saw Shu-lai, he stood up, revealing a smile on his aged face. "Sit, sit, sit. The sun is so high, it must be hot. Drink some water first."
ShuShu sat down and saw that a cup of water had already been poured. "Yaoyao is here?"
"Yeah, she just went to the bathroom."
The waiter brought a cup of water. Shu Shu held the cup tightly, not knowing what to say.
Liu Ziye looked at her. Right now, Shu's eyes no longer had that disgusted expression from before. It was good if he didn't remember his, and it was also good if he didn't remember the damage his father had done to her.
"Shu Shu, seeing that you are safe and sound, dad is relieved. Are you with Ling Qiao now?"
"Yeah, he went on a business trip. I'm staying at his house."
"Then what are your plans? When are we going to remarry? "
"..." "I don't know either. Life is pretty good right now, so I didn't think too much about it."
Liu Ziye nodded, "When you remarry, you must tell me."
"Alright."
After that, both of them fell silent. ShuShu had learned a few things from Liu Yao, so she didn't try to pry anything out of Liu Ziye. Liu Ziye kept apologizing, but she couldn't bear it. After a while, Liu Yao came out. Her hands were still wet from the running.
Liu Ziye pulled out a few tissues for her, "Wipe your hands. Why did you come out with wet hands?" His words were filled with love, and naturally, there was no sense of unfamiliarity.
Liu Yao sat beside Shu Shu, flipping through the menu to order, she was not restrained.
Shu Shu was a little envious. They were the father and daughter.
On the way back, the car drove past Breeze Street. "Slow down, Little Wang."
"Alright."
Familiar street scenes appeared before her eyes. She remembered having been here before, in the Place de la Windy, where she had fallen, where Ling Qiao had desperately tried to catch her while she had been injured.
Feeling a little dizzy, she shook her head and stopped recalling her memories. She managed to find some memory fragments, but they were still incomplete.
Most of the time, she felt like an onion that had been peeled off. Tears streamed down her face, but she found no heart in them.
It was not that she had no heart, she thought, but that she had no memory.
At this moment, Little Wang braked abruptly, causing ShuShu to crash into the seat in front of her. "What happened?"
"There's suddenly a car in front of us." Little Wang said.
ShuShu looked up and saw a black car blocking their way. Two bodyguards got out of the car and stood in front of the back door. They opened it, and Xia Yang walked out from the back.
Shu Shu's heart skipped a beat. What did Xia Yang dare to do in broad daylight? Blockade on the street?
Xia Yang waved to the people around him to stay where they were. He walked over gracefully and knocked on the window.
Little Wang hesitated, not knowing what was going on. She went down to the window and asked, "Sir, what are you doing?"
Xia Yang took off his sunglasses and said to Shu Shu, "Since you're out, let's chat."
"I'm not free, and I have nothing to talk to you about." She secretly took out her cell phone from her bag and said to Little Wang, "Let's turn around and leave. Don't bother with him."
She pressed "110" on her cell phone and was ready to call the police.
Little Wang nodded and tried to close the window, but Xia Yang stuck his hand directly into the car. "I won't hurt you again."
After a short stalemate, the atmosphere became a little awkward. Xiao Wang looked in the mirror from time to time, while the other cars on the street started to honk their horns. This was an obstacle to the traffic.
"Then find a restaurant nearby. Follow me." Shu Shu left a message that there were too many people here. Not only were there traffic police on the streets, but there were also police in the shops. They were not afraid of what Yang would do in the summer.
"Alright." Only now did Xia Yang withdraw his hand, his heart was in pain, he didn't expect things to turn out like this between them, to the point where he couldn't even be a friend.
For her, he had bowed his head to his grandfather, lost his freedom, lost his ideals. He was now a puppet of the Yintian Clan, and also a pawn of his grandfather.
"Where to?" Little Wang asked.
"Let's go to the restaurant beside the company."
"Alright."
"Little Wang, if anything happens, immediately call the police."
"Alright."
Stepping into the dining room, Shu Shu chose a seat near the door. Xia Yang smiled and said, "You have become very vigilant now. Was it Ling Qiao who taught you?"
"It doesn't require anyone to teach you how to grow wisdom after you suffer a setback." Then she said, "I've already eaten, you know?"
Xia Yang nodded. Shu Shu glared at him, knowing that he had been following him for a long time.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Shuxiao sipped on it and asked, "What else do you need me for?"
