Morning, the Heir - Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Who Was the Mistress

Translator: Peggyan and Ruriko

The way Xue Haolin felt it, they looked at him like an exhibit, some of whom seemed to snicker.

He was strict, so his employees were scared of him and even didn’t dare to look into his eyes. But today, they appeared to smile at him.

He walked into his office in a strange mood and then suddenly got a call from one of his shareholders.

The shareholder said angrily, “Mr. Xue, what do you mean? Do you want to screw my daughter?”

With his brows knitted, he blankly heard the shareholder out, learning that the 13-year-old daughter of the shareholder received a freaky e-mail from him where there was only a photo of him in nude.

He hung up the phone and immediately logged into his e-mail, finding pages of e-mails already sent. The minute he opened it, he almost vomited blood.

“Who did this?!!”

He instantly ordered the related department to look into it, but it came up nothing, as a result.

Secretary Wang asked carefully, “Mr. Xue, have you offended someone lately?”

Xue Haolin wore a poker face. In the morning, he received a lot of calls and explained in a gentle voice in the beginning. In the end, he directly turned off his phone.

Couldn’t find it? Hah!

For all those years in the business circle, he had learned to settle scores by resorting to business methods and had no idea about who dealt with him in such a mean way.

Lin Xiaomi walked into the office of the chief editor after going to work. At first, the chief editor complained of her frequently taking days off, but unexpectedly, Lin Xiaomi surprised him.

They had followed Wei Linlin for almost half a year and finally made it.

According to the rules of the magazine, if assistant reporters completed exclusive news on their own, they would become real ones and choose their directions.

Lin Xiaomi asked the chief editor to transfer her from the entertainment division, for she didn’t want to be a paparazzo anymore.

She was indisposed to peek at others’ privacy. At first, she came here trying to work at a current affairs division, but it was shorthanded here, so as a rookie, she got transferred here.

Now, she finally could work at South Magazine.

Hearing this news, Wang Feng walked up to her and said with a sinister smile, “Yo, you’re a lucky dog. Has the chief editor given you a big bonus? We’ve been colleagues for such a long time, so you have to invite us to eat before you leave, don’t you?”

Wang Feng decided to eat up her bonus at one time.

Lin Xiaomi didn’t seem to understand his meaning and smiled back. “I’m not lucky. It’s you who gave me the chance. If you hadn’t pushed your work to me, I wouldn’t have got this exclusive news.”

Then, she said to the colleagues in the office, “Thanks for taking care of me for so long, you guys. I invite you to lunch today.”

Wang Feng was reproved into silence. He was infamous for his laziness in the company, so nobody wanted to help him out.

Wen Jing cuddled Lin Xiaomi and said unhappily, “What should I do after you leave? You leave me here alone. You’re so bad.”

Lin Xiaomi was in a good mood and said with a smile, “Don’t say these, okay? As you know, I didn’t want to be a paparazzo. Besides, we’ll still be in the same building. It’s only a matter of upstairs and downstairs. It won’t be that hard for us to meet again.”

Since Wen Jing was still unhappy, Lin Xiaomi coaxed her by sneaking downstairs with her to buy her favorite milky tea.

“Xiaomi, are you in love?” asked Wen Jing suddenly.

“No, I’m not.”

Wen Jing narrowed her eyes and approached Lin Xiaomi to sniff her. “Then why do I feel there is man flavor on your body?”

Lin Xiaomi widened her eyes with scare and tugged at her clothes to sniff because she was so guilty that she even doubted that there was Leng Yihuang’s flavor on her!

It seemed that she couldn’t wash their clothes together in the future.

Seeing this, Wen Jing said with certainty, “See, you have a boyfriend. Why not tell me about him? Am I your good friend or not?”

“I was telling the truth.” Lin Xiaomi quickly changed the subject. “You should care about yourself, not me. Has your boyfriend come back? The transnational love between you and him seems a little far, doesn’t it?”

Hearing this, Wen Jing turned gloomy. “He’s busy with work, and I can do nothing with it.”

Seeing this, Lin Xiaomi comforted her. “It’s fine so long as he loves you. He’s bought a car, fancy clothes, and bags for you. When he’s successful in career, you’ll end your misery and marry into a rich family.”

Wen Jiang said with a stiffened smile, “Marry into a rich family? He has a fiancée, but I don’t care about it at all. I can live with this as long as he can be with me for good.”

“He has a fiancée?” This was the first time that Lin Xiaomi had heard Wen Jing talk about her boyfriend, but Lin Xiaomi didn’t guess that the man had a fiancée. Didn’t it mean that Wen Jing was a mistress?

Wen Jing unconcernedly shrugged. “Yes, but it’s his family that arranges this for him. He can’t refuse it but doesn’t like her at all. He likes me. You don’t tell me it’s unethical to be a family intruder. In a relationship, only the one who isn’t being loved is the family wrecker.”

Although Wen Jing said so, her tone was full of sourness. Additionally, Lin Xiaomi couldn’t acknowledge her values.

That was how the subject went.

Lin Xiaomi checked in the South Magazine in the afternoon and ran to Sun Ru as soon as she saw him. “Senior Brother, I’m back.”

Sun Ru, who was a serious man, only nodded his head upon hearing this and said, “You try to do your job perfectly after back. You’ll do an interview together with me this afternoon. I’ll have you prepared for several days, and you try to finish one independently as soon as possible.”

“Yes!” Lin Xiaomi mischievously saluted him.

Although Sun Ru was a little strict, he was a good and selfless man and was far from Wang Feng who always bossed her around and never tried to teach her something useful.

Lin Xiaomi found it promising to follow Sun Ru.

When Sun Ru gave the interview information to Lin Xiao, it never occurred to her that her first job after back at the South Magazine was to interview Xue Haolin.

“Xue Haolin, CEO of Saatchi Group, has just come back. I’ve heard he is a get-things-done man. Now that he’s moved his company from America to our city, he needs more publicity and has agreed on this interview. You think about what questions you want to ask.”

Lin Xiaomi looked stiffened. Sun Ru then asked with his brows knitted, “Is there a problem?”

Lin Xiaomi hurriedly shook her head, “No. I get it and will get myself well prepared.”
