The rich and powerful: The story of the counterattack of the house girl

Chapter 36 The Law of the Jungle

On the afternoon of a working day on Tuesday, Lai Xiaocai suddenly and unexpectedly received a call from the editor of the comic company again. In desperation, she was still trying to figure out what kind of excuses to use to continue to decline, but she didn't want the other party's attitude to turn 180° The big change was no longer insisting on making her abandon the script, but praising her previous script, saying that she could not change a word.

This surprised Lai Xiaocai very much. He wanted to ask more questions, but the other party explained that after showing her outline to the boss, the boss was very satisfied, so he decided to let her continue to stick to her ideas without changing a word. She was able to sign as quickly as possible.

"Can I really continue to draw the story I want? You won't interfere afterwards? And won't you cut it in half?" Lai Xiaocai asked suspiciously.

The editor quickly explained: "Of course not, our company is still very reputable, and ah, our boss seems to be really satisfied with you, I am very sorry for the offensive words I said to you before, I hope Miss Lai will not take it to heart Go ha, the boss has already criticized me severely, saying that my aesthetics is too vulgar and philistine."

Hearing this, Lai Xiaocai felt a little relieved from her stuffy heart, and quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, I didn't have a good attitude before, I'm very sorry, you said that your boss appreciates my story, it's true Is it?" Lai Xiaocai cares more about anyone who agrees with her efforts than those gossips and gossips, and can't help but feel good about the other party from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, he is very satisfied, and he also said that he would like to invite you to come to the company for a meeting at noon tomorrow. Is it convenient for Ms. Lai?" the editor said enthusiastically.

"Really?" Lai Xiaocai was overjoyed for a moment, but then suddenly thought that tomorrow is a working day, and couldn't help hesitating: "But, tomorrow"

"What's the matter?" The other party heard her hesitation, and added feelingly: "He is the immediate boss of our company, and he is very busy on weekdays, but he really appreciates your work, so That’s why I’m so eager to see you and have a detailed talk, why don’t I make an appointment with you tomorrow at a place that’s closer to you?”

When Lai Xiaocai heard that the other party's respectable boss would take the initiative, she was flattered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Okay, no problem, then let's find a place to meet at noon tomorrow, thank you."

"Okay, I'll bring back his assistant's phone number and send it to you."

"Thank you."

Tomorrow, I will be in a restaurant less than two kilometers away from here, and I estimate that I should be able to arrive within an hour. Lai Xiaocai secretly wondered if Ling Xi would agree to have a meal during the lunch break.Or would it be better to confess directly to him?But seeing his stern look on weekdays, Lai Xiaocai panicked unknowingly.

"What are you thinking?" At the dining table, Ling Xi casually knocked on her forehead.

"Oh! It's nothing..." Lai Xiaocai covered his head to avoid his sight, and after hesitating for a long time, he hesitated and looked up at him: "That... Ling Xi"

"What's wrong?" Ling Xi put down the knife and fork in his hand, and looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"Tomorrow at noon, a best friend of mine called me to eat at a nearby restaurant. Can I go? I'll be back within two hours?" Lai Xiaocai asked nervously in a low voice.

I didn't want Ling Xi to burst out laughing when he heard it, and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief: "Bestie?"

"Uh, yes." Lai Xiaocai said categorically, some thoughts were flying in her mind, and she was still thinking about explaining that she was not a man?But to add this one more sentence, does it feel a bit like there is no silver 300 taels here, and it gets darker and darker?

Unexpectedly, Ling Xi who was on the opposite side took a sip of the red wine beside him, and replied straightforwardly: "Yes, do you want me to drive you?"

"Huh?" I didn't expect this guy to agree so easily. Lai Xiaocai was really unexpected, but he shook his head immediately: "No, no, no! It's very close, I crossed No. XX road and crossed a Just go straight to the overpass, and you have to drive around the viaduct to make a turn, and I heard that it is difficult to find a parking space in that hotel, really..." Afraid he would not believe it, Lai Xiaocai shook her hands and head like a rattle of.

Ling Xi was amused by her expression like a child lying, and then nodded: "Okay, you have to take the overpass to cross the road, you can't cross it, do you hear me? Also, you must come back on time, and you will be one minute late It will be treated as absenteeism."

Seeing that he let go, Lai Xiaocai hurriedly replied happily: "Okay! Definitely! Thank you!"

It's rare that this demon king of the world is so merciful and agrees?Lai Xiaocai was really overjoyed, but she was really afraid that he would change his mind suddenly, so he could only grab two bites of food in a hurry and ran upstairs in anxiety.

Going back to her room and turning on the computer, she retouched the content of her novel, and Lai Xiaocai spent the night in excitement like this.

In fact, it's not because she values ​​this competition so much, nor is it because of how generous the prize money and treatment are, it's just because she knows that there is a reader who likes her comics, no matter if that reader is a wealthy boss , or a worthless poor person, as long as she really likes her works, she wants to seriously make friends with them.

This time, Lai Xiaocai also felt more serious, especially when the editor devalued her work to be worthless a few days ago, she wanted to find some psychological comfort, and couldn't wait to ask How do her readers feel after reading her own works?Why do you like it?

So at noon the next day,
Lai Xiaocai came to the restaurant as promised, and before going out, she printed out the outline of the script that she corrected overnight in the study, neatly placed it in a brand new folder, and then picked out a suit to read. Put on a serious and mature formal attire, and use the posture of a mature female white-collar worker to cheer up to meet the other party.

But in fact, what surprised Lai Xiaocai was that after the actual meeting, the other party was more excited than herself.

The other party is a young man in his early 30s. His face is full of oil, but he looks like a young man who has just started his business. He has a typical post-80s appearance, a little fat, and a loli-type female assistant is behind him, wearing a big beauty. Hitomi looks like someone who often plays cosplay.

When the two of them saw Lai Xiaocai, they stood up without realizing it, with a sense of respect, which made Lai Xiaocai a little flattered.
