Chapter 173  : He Feels Sorry for Her (3)

The temperature dropped, but Qiao Lian wasn’t wearing enough layers today.

She stood on the pavement near the hotel, stomping her feet and blowing into the air. She also looked at her phone from time to time.

It was just noon, the sky was grey and it was drizzling. She was freezing.

The banquet only started in the evening, and she had just found out that it was a private small-scaled banquet.

Usually, it was hard to get any news from such banquets. The chief editor had sent her here just to torture her.

This old hag!

Qiao Lian looked around her and when she was about to find a place to rest, or order a coffee from a neighbouring cafe to warm herself up, a car stopped in front of her.

The car window was opened and it revealed Su Meimei’s face. When she had arrived beside Qiao Lian, she had opened the car window with the heater on. She spoke with a smile, “Woah, our hardworking missus has started working again! That’s really professional.”

Qiao Lian rolled her eyes at her and turned around, wanting to leave. Su Meimei tried stopping her by saying, “Stop there!”

Qiao Lian refused to be bothered with her and continued walking forward.

Su Meimei directly walked out of the car and walked in front of her. She coldly sneered and said, “I asked you to stop there, did you not hear me?”

Qiao Lian looked at her with a smile and retorted, “Who are you to ask me to stop?”

They were both reporters, did Su Meimei think she could act so arrogant just because she had an affair with the managing editor? She was really crazy!

Recently, Su Meimei had been really arrogant.

The time when she posted the article and video of Wang Wenhao slapping Qiao Lian, she had gotten instant fame.

Under the protection of the managing editor, Su Meimei could get whatever she wanted in the news agency. Furthermore, he had promised to award her the biannual best worker award.

When she thought about it, Su Meimei smiled and said, “Qiao Lian, you probably don’t know. When I left the office today, the managing editor and my aunt were commenting that your performance has been bad lately. If you don’t find anything today, you will have to pack your stuff and leave the news agency!”

Qiao Lian frowned and asked, “So?”

“So, you had better obediently wait here, so that you wouldn’t miss any huge scoops!”

They were determined to make life difficult for her.

If a newbie in the industry was disliked by the seniors, that was how they punished the person.

It was a joke that they were punishing her like that.

Newbie reporters weren’t usually able to find any news, but they still reported back to the chief editor for checking.

I’ve been here a whole day. Even if I don’t find anything, I have still put in hard work!

As for her… no matter whether she kept watching outside or got no huge scoops, the chief editor would not let her off!

Qiao Lian didn’t speak. Although she was freezing from the cold, she widened her eyes and stared at Su Meimei like an idiot.

Her stare made Su Meimei really uncomfortable, and she asked, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at how an idiot behaves.”

She walked forward and skirted around Su Meimei, asking, “How can you be so sure that I won’t be able to get any scoops?”

She was not brainless enough to listen to them and just freeze there!

Qiao Lian didn’t speak and entered the cafe.

At the same time, a pair of eyes were staring from outside.

It was only until four or five in the afternoon that she finally saw a few low-key cars driving slowly into the underground car park, and directly into the hotel.

Qiao Lian could no longer loaf around, and she walked out of the cafe. The moment she stepped out, a gush of cold air hit her.

She shivered as she hugged herself.

When she was about to continue moving forward, her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone. Turning her head around, she saw Shen Liangchuan in sunglasses and wearing a mask, standing beside her.
