When they finish lunch, it is almost one o’clock in the afternoon . However, there are still two hours before Dai Zhongheng’s time . So, Xia Ning and Li Baoer, accompanied by the two men, go to the malls one after another and buy lots of things of daily use .
Seeing that Lin Kai almost collapses for carrying the shopping bags, Xia Ning is sorry for him silently . What a poor correspondent!
When they are doing the shopping, Xia Ning keeps explaining . When carrying a box of biscuit, she will tell what kind of biscuit is Li Baoer’s favorite, while carrying a bowl of cup noodles, she will tell what kind of noodles Li Baoer likes best . Apparently, it is just normal chatting between friends, while in fact, she is lecturing Colonel Dai .
Dai Zhongheng stands behind them quietly with no emotions . It is not known how much he gets .
Normally speaking, it is a torture for a man to accompany two girls to go shopping, but Dai Zhongheng doesn’t complain at all . He does whatever they ask him to do, while Lin Kai looks unhappy and miserable . At last, Li Baoer can’t help trying to take the bags from his hands, but Lin Kai doesn’t allow that . Li Baoer continues to grab the bags from him until Dai Zhongheng helps to carry some of them .
Xia Ning stands there, smiling to look at them for quite a while . Li Baoer is a real laugh, she wonders if Dai Zhongheng will be good with her .
At three o’clock, Xia Ning remembers that she will go to Mei Ruo’s house in the evening . So, she asks Dai Zhongheng to drive her back to the Army Compound before sending Li Baoer back to her apartment .
“I live here . For anything, you can find me here . ” Xia Ning points to a block, “Look, Block A, Room 401 . Take note of it . ”
Li Baoer nods, “It is impressive . It seems that the girl I am relying on is rich, and also provides me a sense of safety . ”
Xia Ning’s lips twitch, “Colonel Dai, please drive Li Baoer back to her apartment . I have some other things to do and will get off here . Thank you for your help today . ”

“It is my pleasure . Don’t worry . I will drive Baoer back . ” Dai Zhongheng responds .
Xia Ning’s eyes flash . She hears clearly the word “Baoer” .
That is right . There is something to be continued .
“Hum . Baoer, you go back for now . As regard to your job, I will try to see if I can help . Don’t worry . Anything happens, you can just tell me . Don’t hide anything from me . OK?” Xia Ning talks to Li Baoer and gets off the car .
Li Baoer is moved, “Hum . Ning, I really have a very good friend . ”
The car leaves slowly . Xia Ning looks at the time, it is two forty in the afternoon . She still has enough time to take a shower and have a good rest before Yi Yunrui comes back .
After having a relaxing hot water bath, Xia Ning glances at her computer and remembers something . She turns on the computer .
Li Baoer’s family is in difficulty and she may not bring much money with her . The living expense in C city is high . It can be quite hard for her without any income .
Xia Ning opens the e-bank . She wants to do something . But she pauses to take out her phone .

Should I make the call, she wondered .
Xia Ning hesitates for a while and at last she grits her teeth and dials the number .
Soon, the phone is answered, “Hello, Miss Xia . Are you feeling better?”
“Yes . Thank you . Director Gu . ” Hearing Gu Luan’s voice, Xia Ning is a little nervous, “I am fine . I can go to work in a few days . Would you please help to arrange?”
“Good . ” Gu Luan checks the file, “What about the day after tomorrow? Our office time starts at nine, you can call me when you arrive . ”
“OK…” Xia Ning hesitates, “Director Gu, actually…I have a request . I hope Director Gu can give it a consideration . ” Feeling that she is a little unscrupulous to ask for things when she herself has not even worked there, Xia Ning speaks and her heart beats rapidly .
“Hum . Please tell . I will think about it . ”
“Well…” Xia Ning thinks for a while, “I have a friend called Li Baoer . She worked with me in TIME for many years . She was a senior editor . Because of my incident, she encountered some conflicts in TIME and quitted . Now, she is in C city . I wonder if Director Gu can give her a chance?”
“Are you saying Li Baoer?”

“Hum . Yes . Though Baoer is not graduated from a famous university, she is experienced . She is also a nice person . Director Gu…”
“OK . You can ask her to come together the day after tomorrow . ”
“Err?” Unexpectedly, Gu Luan agrees at once . Xia Ning can hardly believe it .
“What?”
“Thank you . Director Gu . Do you know Li Baoer?” She thinks it is better to make it clear, in case she may cause some conflicts between the Director and her to result in a tough future .
“As regard to Li Baoer, I also took notice of her . She worked hard . World Era TV Station cares for talents, and even more for working attitude . The aim of the TV Station is vitality and vigor, which can be found in Li Baoer . If I knew that she quitted, we would also have contacted her .
Xia Ning is released and she is happy for Li Baoer, “OK . I will tell her and we will go to work the day after tomorrow . ”
“Hum . Xia Ning, but you need to mention one thing to your friend . ” Gu Luan says seriously, “We have policies in the TV Station . Except for the specially invited talents, new comers need to work from the bottom regardless of their background . So, when your friend comes, she will be given a month of probation . If she is proved to be qualified, a promotion will be offered after that . OK?”
“OK . I will tell her about this . Thank you, Director Gu . ”
She hangs up the phone and has a long breath . Everything for Li Baoer is settled .
She keys in a series of number on the computer and presses Enter . The note is popped up . Xia Ning feels satisfied and goes to do her hairs with a hair drier .
About one minute later, her phone rings . It is from Li Baoer .
“Ning, did you transfer money to me just now?!”
Li Baoer shouts in a high voice, as if she is going to dismantle a building . Xia Ning moves the phone a little, “Hum . You have just arrived here . You need to have some money . We are sisters for a long time . You always take care of me . This time, let me take care of you . ”
“Ha! What are you talking about…but I don’t need so much! One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand…! Gosh! I know you are rich . But I am not used to owing . ”
Xia Ning rolls her eyes, “Aunt is ill and I don’t have time to see her . You may use the money to buy some things for her recovery . By the way, the one who owes is not you . It is me . Last time, you were influenced by my incident and suffered a lot . I am guilty about that . Baoer, just take the money . Will you give me the chance to make the atonement? Or, I will feel guilty all my life…”
“Well, well, stop! Ning, I didn’t know that you are good at playing cute . Well…OK…I will take the money . To be honest, I am really frustrated recently . Thank you . When I earn some money, I will give you a real treat . ”
Xia Ning chuckles, “Hum . OK . Keep it in mind . Don’t ever forget!”
They talk when Xia Ning’s phone gives alarm that someone is calling . It is from Yi Yunrui .
