Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1163 - 1141: Eager to Introduce the Mistress

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1141: Eager to Introduce the Mistress

This is the job Brother Yixiao arranged for her.

How could she easily give up because of a rival in love!

Gan Ying’s expression stiffened for a moment, then she quickly put on a gentle smile: "Yes, Chief Editor, rest assured. Yongyong is from Beijing University, so she’s like my younger sister. Of course, I’ll take care of her."

Editor-in-Chief Xiao gave some instructions and then went on to his work.

The smile in Gan Ying’s eyes faded as she walked up to Qiao Yongyong.

Qiao Yongyong knew she was about to be assigned work, so she quietly waited.

Even though there was some animosity between her and Gan Ying, this was the workplace; work was the priority. She believed Gan Ying wouldn’t resort to any obvious acts of vengeance.

Gan Ying casually pointed at a young man in the corner of the office with stubble and black-framed glasses, her tone still calm and soft: "From now on, you will work with Abo."

As soon as she said this, several reporters and editors nearby couldn’t help but glance over.

Abo was a reporter for the entertainment section, specializing in underground work.

The so-called underground work involved covertly tracking those embarrassing scandals of celebrities.

This work is thankless and involves secretly tailing people, sometimes day and night, in all kinds of weather, and one might have to trail someone for days while always being alert to being harassed by celebrities’ bodyguards. Because it’s quite exhausting work, it’s generally assigned to male colleagues.

People assumed that since Qiao Yongyong was recommended by Editor-in-Chief Xiao, Gan Ying would give her some easier tasks. They didn’t expect her to be assigned to work with Abo.

Noticing the skeptical gazes of her colleagues, Gan Ying softly said, "Starting from the bottom is better for newcomers. I’m doing this for your own good, Yongyong. Are you unwilling? If you don’t want to, I can assign you something easier."

From her colleagues’ expressions, Qiao Yongyong quickly realized that the task assigned by Gan Ying didn’t seem like a good one. But since she chose to come to Times Weekly, being too pampered would not only make Gan Ying mock her but also embarrass Brother Yixiao. She nodded, "It’s fine, I’m young, and I’m not afraid of hard work."

Gan Ying’s lips twitched slightly, but she said nothing and turned away.

That very day, Qiao Yongyong began running the underground lines with Abo.

The first task she undertook with Abo was to secretly follow an artist reportedly kleptomaniac, who had been caught by supermarkets several times but wasn’t exposed due to public relations interventions.

By the end of the task, Qiao Yongyong finally understood what exhaustion meant. Tailoring the artist in and out of supermarkets and malls had left her heels blistered.

Upon returning to the magazine after the task, she slumped into her chair, swearing that even if God himself called her, she wouldn’t get up.

Abo, knowing that this was quite a physically demanding job for girls, walked over and patted her shoulder: "Hard work! Go home and get some rest. In a few days, there’s another follow-up task, which will be even more tiring. So better rest up."

Ah, yet another field assignment.

Qiao Yongyong pouted but forced herself to perk up: "What task is it?"

"In a few days, it’ll be Ji Wenxuan’s thirtieth birthday. I’ve heard that he secretly booked the Qinglong Resort. It seems like he plans to celebrate with some friends in the industry. The gathering will be filled with stars; many celebrities will be there. It’s a rather rare private gathering! Just a few photos from the event will be enough for us to complete this month’s quota."

Qiao Yongyong knew Ji Wenxuan as a domestic TV drama star, quite famous, considered a top star in the television industry. Currently, he resides in Beijing. Besides acting, he has several side businesses and is quite skilled at networking, having connections with many celebrities. If he invites many other stars or influential figures to his birthday, capturing such an event could indeed make Times Weekly sell big.

*****

The first day of internship finally ended.

Qiao Yongyong said goodbye to Abo and limped out of the editorial department.

As she stepped out of the elevator, a figure also emerged from the elevator beside her, someone finishing work around the same time, Gan Ying.

She straightened her body, ignoring the pain from the blisters on her ankle, and took the initiative to greet: "Hello, Deputy Editor Gan. Off work already?"

Since they’re colleagues now, regardless of personal issues, Qiao Yongyong decided to keep things polite at work.

Gan Ying glanced at her, acknowledged with a sound, then her gaze shifted, noticing the small wound on Qiao Yongyong’s heel. Her delicate lips curved: "You’re adapting well. Perhaps I should ask Abo to assign you more tasks, a bit of training would do you good."

Is this intentional retaliation? Sorry, she’s not afraid. No matter how demanding the internship work gets, she can handle it.

"Brother Yixiao recommended me here, I won’t let him down." Qiao Yongyong raised her chin slightly, neither haughty nor humble.

Gan Ying frowned.

Just then, a sweet voice came from the office building entrance: "Xiaoying~~"

It was Ning Duoduo, wearing a lace dress and carrying a season’s designer small-winged bag, approaching.

Gan Ying hurriedly went up to greet her with a smile, "Duoduo, what brings you here?"

Ning Duoduo hooked her arm: "We haven’t hung out for a long time, came to ask you out shopping. So, do you have time tonight?"

Out of the corner of her eye, Gan Ying noticed Qiao Yongyong in the distance, and her smile was as gentle as the spring breeze: "Of course."

Ning Duoduo tightened her hold on Gan Ying: "Great, after shopping, you can come to my house for dinner. We haven’t chatted for a long time, how about staying overnight at my place tonight? Let’s have a good long chat."

Qiao Yongyong’s brow furrowed slightly. What does this mean? Knowing that Gan Ying is Brother Yixiao’s ex, yet inviting Gan Ying to stay at her home, does she fear that Brother Yixiao and Gan Ying wouldn’t have a chance to connect, deliberately creating opportunities for them to get close?

Gan Ying seemed overjoyed, but restrained her smile, glancing once at Qiao Yongyong, not far off: "Is that okay? I’m no longer engaged to your brother."

She knew Qiao Yongyong was currently staying at the Ning Family.

"What’s not okay? The Ning Family and the Gan Family are so close, my dad likes you as much as he does his own daughter. You can stay a night or even daily if you want! Even without the engagement, we’re still on good terms, right? I’m inviting my good friend over, what’s the problem?" Ning Duoduo said immediately.

Qiao Yongyong’s slender brows furrowed further.

Although feeling a bit embarrassed, Gan Ying did not refuse; she nodded in agreement.

The two held each other’s arms and walked out of the office building, chatting and laughing. Ning Duoduo did not forget to give Qiao Yongyong a defiant look.

It’s hard to guard against Gan Ying, but more so against a household insider like Ning Duoduo.

Qiao Yongyong clenched her fist. Does this sister-in-law intend to frequently bring Gan Ying home in the future?

Has she made up her mind to make things uncomfortable for me, inviting trouble into our home, and introducing her brother to another woman?

Qiao Yongyong took a deep breath, following them at a distance as they walked out of the building.

The Ning Family car was parked at the foot of the steps outside the office building, and the driver opened the door, ready to invite Ning Duoduo and Gan Ying inside.
