Pfft… hahaha…”
There was a burst of laughter in the noisy canteen, and everyone turned their heads to look.
Rosiley looked around at her colleagues, who were staring at them, and smiled awkwardly. Then, she gave the woman sitting opposite her a helpless glare. She was laughing hysterically with no concern for her image.
Rosiley snapped, “Ying Xiaoxiao, can you lower your voice? I don’t want people to think that I’m sitting with a psycho!”
“Rosiley… Rosiley… ” Ying Xiaoxiao was laughing so much that she could not even form a complete sentence. She quickly grabbed the drink from the table and took a sip. Then, she put her hand on her chest and paced her breathing. After which, she continued talking. “I didn’t even know that anyone could be so naive!”
“Xiao Xu is not naive, he’s confident. He thinks that he can get Sachin to do an interview.”
Rosiley picked up a mouthful of food, put it into her mouth, and chewed leisurely.
It was undeniable that when she heard Xiao Xu’s bold declaration, she had almost been unable to hold back her laughter. She felt that his thoughts were too simple and innocent.
However, she was afraid of dampening Xiao Xu’s enthusiasm when he first entered the industry, so she patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, “Xiao Xu, it’s good that you have such a goal, but you should do something more achievable.”
After saying that, she was ready to leave. However, Xiao Xu walked up to her and stopped her. He said firmly, “sister Rosiley, trust me, I will get an interview from Mr. Lu and make our company become known by everyone!”
Rosiley was speechless.
At that instant, she was really shocked by Xiao Xu’s determined gaze, so she was unable to say a single word. But in the end, she still smiled and said to him, “Then do your best.”
“Do your best?!” Feeling humored, Ying Xiaoxiao looked at her good friend and said, “You actually told him to do his best? You already knew that the engine would shut down before you could even pump fuel in.”
Rosiley shrugged her shoulders. “I didn’t have a choice. He is just like me when I first entered the industry, full of enthusiasm and passion, thinking about writing a big piece of news every day.”
“That’s true.” Ying Xiaoxiao nodded her head noncommittally. “Back then, you were busy chasing after news material 24 hours a day. You were so worn out that you lost weight, making Yayoi and I worry for you.”
Rosiley smiled and raised her brows. “But… all hard work comes with a reward. Look at me now, I’ve been promoted!”
Ying Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “Come on, you got promoted after nearly three years! Your reward came so late!”
“It’s still better than nothing.”
Rosiley smiled, then pushed her plate aside and placed the bowl of soup in front of her. She lowered her head and began eating it slowly.
“Where’s Yayoi?” Ying Xiaoxiao asked absent-mindedly as she ate.
“Her parents have pleaded guilty… ”
“What?!”
Before Rosiley could finish her words, Ying Xiaoxiao let out a loud shriek. Rosiley got such a scare that she almost dropped her spoon into the soup. She looked up and glared at the agitated Ying Xiaoxiao. “Xiao, can you let me finish talking first?”
Ying Xiaoxiao pursed her lips embarrassedly. “Okay, you finish first.”
Rosiley took another sip of the soup, then put down the spoon and looked up at her. “Yayoi’s parents suddenly pleaded guilty, so she won’t be coming to the office for this period of time. She’s busy helping her parents with the case.”
“Why would Uncle and Auntie suddenly plead guilty?” Ying Xiaoxiao’s sharp brows furrowed. Then, her eyes suddenly widened. “Yang Qianqian did something!”
“Yes, it was her.”
“Damn, I will definitely not let her go.” Ying Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth hatefully.
“How’s Yayoi now?” Ying Xiaoxiao asked.
“Still okay.”
Ying Xiaoxiao heaved a subtle sigh of relief. “Then I can rest assured.”
She was afraid Yayoi would not be able to accept this sudden change of circumstances and do something stupid.
“Don’t worry. Morphy is with her right now. She’ll be fine.”
