Chapter 636: Morning Big Boss Volume (1): Smiling Spy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

8:30 am in Beijing.

Carrying her camera in one hand, He Chen made a phone call with the other hand.

Pa.s.sing by the time card machine by the elevator, she held her card in her mouth and clocked in at the last minute.

“Sister Chen, you arrived just on time again.” An employee who just came down from the elevator saw He Chen clocking in desperately and reached out in an interview gesture. “Let me interview you, madam. How do you manage to clock in exactly at the last minute every day?”

It was okay if it was just one or two days. However, the time control she possessed to do it every single day was simply terrifying.

He Chen spit out the card in her mouth and said with a gentle expression, “It’s nothing much, I have yet to become a master.”

Speaking of clocking in on time, He Chen glanced at the time by the punch card machine. She secretly thought that if it was Lone Wolf, she would clock in every day at the last second.

In terms of controlling time, she was still a junior.

He Chen walked into the elevator and reached out to press the floor b.u.t.ton. “Don’t worry about Matthew and the others. Boss Chang Ning has already helped you finish it.”

It was Qin Ran on the other end of the phone. “I’ll hand the guy to Matthew.”

“Hey, you better watch yourself.” He Chen counted the elevator floor and said, “Be nicer to my nephew or niece.”

So many people had their eyes on the child in her stomach, so how did she still have so much energy to be bouncing around all day long.

She heard that Cheng Juan had even customized a full set of lab clothes for her in order to let her play on the computer.

“Okay.” Qin Ran responded.

When she arrived at her floor, He Chen walked over to her workbench and said, “Okay, I’m at work, let’s talk later. By the way, remember to pa.s.s me the information I wanted. I’ll go to Continent M to deal with it in two days.”

She hung up and placed her camera on her desk.

“Sister Chen, why do you carry your camera wherever you go?” A round-faced girl leaned over from next door and asked curiously, “Isn’t it heavy?”

The round-faced girl was Li Yushan, a travel reporter who had the best relations.h.i.+p with He Chen in the news agency. As a rookie, she had followed after He Chen.

Now that two years had pa.s.sed, she was an official reporter and could act on her own.

“What do you understand?” He Chen took a piece of paper and wiped her camera slowly. “This is the guy who provides for me.”

She patted her camera and smiled.

Blus.h.i.+ng, Li Yushan lowered her voice and asked, “Sister Chen, the big director asked you to film a movie last time, right? Are you really not intending to go?”

He Chen’s appearance was pet.i.te and delicate. She had beautiful features, fair skin, and was full of charm. However, she always wore gla.s.ses and makeup that Li Yushan found unsuitable, so her aura and appearance had already been ruined.

She had been discovered by the big director right after she took a shower at Li Yushan’s house, ate at the food stall with her downstairs, and then walked by him without any makeup.

Li Yushan always felt like He Chen with incomprehensible makeup was as sweet-tempered as a pretty daughter in a humble family. But without makeup, she was full of vigor and could stir up people’s hearts…

They were all like her, but also not like her.

“Nope.” He Chen wiped her camera and then started browsing through her work and sorting out the news.

“Can you be a little more ambitious?” Li Yushan glanced at her. “Can’t you just get rid of your incomprehensible makeup?”

Li Yushan felt like He Chen had a pair of magical hands. When she helped her put on makeup, the result was astonis.h.i.+ng. Why was it so hard to put on makeup for herself?

“The news we have to run is in Cheng Nan. Grandma Xu’s dog is missing…” He Chen read out her press release script.

Li Yushan was speechless.

Sighing, she turned around and also started working.

As soon as she turned on the computer, a news item popped up in the lower-right corner—

[Popular actress Song Qingqing entered and exited the hotel with a mysterious man last night!]

A picture was also attached.

Song Qingqing had become popular after acting in a popular online drama previously. Not long ago, she starred as the second female lead in “The Realm of G.o.ds”. Because of her scenes with Qin Xiuchen, she had been in the limelight for a while.

Their news agency was involved in people’s livelihood as well as the entertainment industry. Li Yushan wasn’t really interested in this piece of news.

Just as she was about to cross out the news, she glanced at the side profile of the man with Song Qingqing. Wearing a black suit, the man was tall and slender. He had one hand in his pocket and looked very cold.

Staring in disbelief, Li Yushan enlarged the picture.

When the picture became clearer, she frowned.

She wanted to cross it out when she noticed that He Chen was standing next to her, watching it with gusto while holding a white porcelain cup. He Chen finally commented, “Not bad.”

“Sister Chen, aren’t you in the least bit angry?” Li Yushan whispered.

The man in the picture was Qu Zixiao.

The Qu family wasn’t ranked in the top ten in Beijing, but they still had a lot of background. The last time Beijing stood in line, the Qu family had taken the wrong position in the early stages, but Qu Zixiao had quickly found the right line and had barely just gained a foothold.

In the outside world, he was a solo bachelor. In the circle, he was a diamond kind.

Because he was engaged in the entertainment industry, such scandals weren’t common. After all, he was only playing around, and it was no secret that he liked Ouyang Wei.

Since this matter today was a big deal, Qu Zixiao was quickly picked up.

The Qu family didn’t release any clarifications.

“I’m not angry,” He Chen said lightly and casually. She had already settled her divorce agreement with Qi Chengjun.

She took the mug to the pantry to pour coffee.

Staring at her back, Li Yushan couldn’t help but sigh. She looked at the picture on the screen again and cursed Qu Zixiao a hundred times in her heart.

After pouring a cup of coffee for herself, He Chen didn’t return to her seat. Instead, she quietly went to the boss’s office upstairs.

“Give me an a.s.signment.” She sat casually across from the boss with her legs open.

The boss shook his hand and almost failed to sign his name. “Where is it this time? I declare in advance that you’re not allowed to go to the battlefield.”

“That’s not necessary, there won’t be a war there. This time, it’s Continent M.” He Chen lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. “For a week.”

“Continent M?” The boss ma.s.saged his temple. “What the h.e.l.l would you do there?”

Despite saying so, he still arranged an a.s.signment for her. “You’ve been working here for so many years, have you ever thought of being promoted to deputy editor…”

“Thank you, President Jiang.” She stood up and thanked him.

Directly interrupting the boss, who was trying to give her a promotion.

She turned and left the office.

In the office, the boss stared at her back and shook his head involuntarily. Reaching out, he dialed a phone call. “Madam Qu… Yes, she’s going away again… This time, it’s Continent M for a week… Young Master Qu has really hurt her this time. He has been messing around, and news about him staying in a hotel has even been exposed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t go out again just a few days after returning…”

…

It was 5:30 in the afternoon.

He Chen came back after running the news.

She knocked off work with Li Yushan.

Since He Chen didn’t own a car, she usually went out with the agency’s car. Today, she left with Li Yushan.

When they went downstairs, a BMW was parked on the opposite side of the road. Beside the BMW stood a young woman with a bag, the delicate makeup on her face making her aura even more obvious.

When she saw He Chen, she hurriedly walked over in her high heels. “Sister He, wait!”

“He Chen, is she your friend?” Li Yushan had been with He Chen for two years and had never seen her friends before. This was the first time, so she was a little surprised.

“Yeah. Yushan, you go on first.” He Chen squinted.

Li Yushan nodded and didn’t ask who the young woman was.

She took her bag and directly left.

“Sister He…” The young woman looked at He Chen and sighed, carrying her precious branded bag. “I… I only returned to China today and heard about Qu Zixiao. Why is the Qu family like this? They won’t even arrange a chauffeur for you… Forget it, where are you going? I’ll take you there, we’ll talk as we go.”

“To the Qu family’s old house.” He Chen glanced at her and didn’t refuse.

In the afternoon, Madam Qu had called to ask her to return to the Qu family’s house, and she couldn’t refuse.

The young woman was surprised to hear this, but she still got into the car and drove into the crowd.

During the rush hour, the traffic was very congested, and they drove only one kilometer in ten minutes.

At the red light again, the young woman put her hands on the steering wheel and glanced at He Chen on the backseat. After a long time, she couldn’t help but say, “Sister He, don’t blame our family. The situation back then…”

This young woman was Guan Ru, He Chen’s playmate as a child.

The He family had lived right next to the Guan family, so He Chen and Guan Ru’s older brother, Guan Chi, had been childhood sweethearts. They both had the intention to get married.

“You know, when news of your grandfather being comrades in battle with Old Master Qu broke out, Madam Qu proposed marriage to your family. Since your sister was unwilling, they chose you instead… The Qu family isn’t easy to provoke, so my parents…” Guan Ru pursed her lips.

He Chen clicked on Qin Ran’s email in the backseat.

Although Guan Ru didn’t continue, He Chen knew what she was saying.

The Qu family wasn’t considered the top family in Beijing, but it was still influential and wasn’t an ordinary family.

The Guan family was scholarly, and Guan Chi had also been the top scorer of University A that year. His future had been boundless. Without even fighting with the Qu family, the Guan family had forced Guan Ru and Guan Chi abroad.

The Guan family was actually not so weak, but neither of the parents intended to oppose the Qu family.

Besides the great career of the Qu family making it worthless to form an enemy of them, even if the Guan family really wanted to fight with them, it would definitely not be over a woman like He Chen.
