Mr. CEO Has a Crush on Me

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Enemies on a Narrow Road

Gu Annan didn’t answer, his dark, deep eyes looking at her as if to say, didn’t this question need asking?

“I mean, if you don’t tell me directly what to buy, I’m afraid I might not meet your expectations,” she said in a fluster, quickly correcting herself under his gaze.

Normally, assistants handle shopping, and it isn’t too much to ask her if it’s for personal matters.

However, since Gu Annan hadn’t previously instructed her to do anything, she had almost really forgotten why she was living here.

“I said it’s a gift, it doesn’t need to meet my expectations. Whatever people of your age usually buy as birthday gifts, just buy that.”

Gu Annan recalled what Shao Zhiheng had mentioned on the phone yesterday and handed this challenging task to Lu Wanwan.

...

As Lu Wanwan held the credit card, she hadn’t expected Gu Annan, who was so aloof, to also be unable to escape worldly obligations.

However, leaving the choice to her, it must probably be a girl who was having the birthday.

Lu Wanwan suddenly lost her appetite.

Yesterday’s news was both fierce and accurate, causing Zui Entertainment to trend again on Weibo, with the official account gaining tens of thousands of followers.

Adding to that, Lu Wanwan had rushed to submit a detailed draft the previous night, and for once, the usually stern and stingy editor was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to request leave.

However, for this issue of Zui Entertainment, Ling Xiaoxue wasn’t significant enough to make the headlines; the real scoop was supposed to be Qiao Moran leaving the entertainment industry.

If this news were true, this issue would definitely outperform Star Headlines.

“Contact the printing plant, increase the print run for this issue. Also, since Lu Wanwan has taken leave this afternoon, you will write up Qiao Moran’s draft.”

“Should we really write it this way? Ling Xiaoxue has been following up well, but Qiao Moran’s news shouldn’t be written carelessly. Editor, you know Qiao Moran’s background. Writing recklessly could lead to a lawsuit,” spoke Chen Jie, who had previously been assigned to Qiao Moran’s group with Lu Wanwan.

She was uncomfortable, the efforts of their group had been wholly credited to Lu Wanwan, and now she had to write the draft, who would take responsibility if there were issues?

A minor magazine had previously written recklessly about Qiao Moran’s scandal and ended up being sued into bankruptcy.

For a publication like Zui Entertainment, which liked to tread a fine line for headlines, they were always cautious with such figures.

“Did I ask for your doubts? Every single one of you lacks the drive of a newcomer; no wonder those ragtag magazines could overtake us!”

The editor snorted coldly, watching as Chen Jie left reluctantly.

She knows nothing; were it not for certain reasons, would she let Lu Wanwan, a new intern, go on assignments?

However, every time a satisfying result was delivered, it was indeed unexpected.

The editor pulled up Lu Wanwan’s resume and looked it over again.

As per their usual habit, their agency never hired beautiful girls. Journalism is a particularly tough profession; those with outstanding looks often cannot handle the hardships.

Hiring Lu Wanwan was an anomaly, with a particularly simple reason: she was a graduate of Dichen High School.

Madison Shopping Mall is located in the most prime area of Manchester, on a romantic, luxurious street, home to top international luxury brands.

“Miss, welcome,” said a gentle and pleasant saleslady following her.

“What’s the latest limited edition, suitable as a birthday gift?” Lu Wanwan wasn’t looking to waste time.

“Kexin cousin, take a look at this bracelet, it’s the one endorsed by Tang Na!”

Lu Wanwan looked up and found, as the saying goes, that adversaries are bound to meet.

The two women leisurely browsing in front of her were Lu Kexin and her cousin, Lin Xin.
