Xia Yangyang didn’t know the definition of “slightly better”.

Gu Qichen said, “Xia Yangyang, if your outrageous behavior today was due to jealousy, then I’m pleased, but such things should not happen a second time. If you have doubts, you should ask me first rather than risking your life doing something as stupid as jumping off a building to take sneaky pictures. If not for yourself, you should at least consider me. I don’t want to be branded as a widower at a young age.”

Xia Yangyang:”…”

Gu Qichen continued, “Today’s incident was completely accidental. I ran into Manbing when I returned from my business trip to New York. We were just old friends having a casual meal. Have I explained myself clearly?”

Xia Yangyang said, “But you had me taken to the police station over a picture.”

Thinking about it, Xia Yangyang felt unhappy.

It was the first time in her life that she had been in such a place.

Gu Qichen’s voice was stern, “I took you to the police station to teach you a lesson from today’s incident, not because of a picture, but as a punishment for treating your life as a joke.”

After hearing this, Xia Yangyang felt a bit better.

But she still wasn’t sure if what he said was true.

Seeing Xia Yangyang moved, Gu Qichen said, “I’ve sorted out my matters, let’s now talk about yours.”

“What about me?”

“When did you become a paparazzi reporter, sneakily taking pictures of celebrities’ private lives?”

Xia Yangyang replied, “I was just interning at the news agency and happened to be assigned to the entertainment section.”

Xia Yangyang lied because of the car accident, she didn’t want Gu Qichen to know.

Twenty thousand yuan was nothing to Gu Qichen, but she didn’t want him to meddle.

Gu Qichen did not doubt her, “If you want an internship, I can arrange for you to go to a better newspaper or television station.”

“No need, I want to rely on myself.”

Gu Qichen didn’t say anything else and was silent for a while, “Let’s go home.”

Xia Yangyang said, “I have to go to the newspaper office, I have a big class at school tomorrow morning, I’m leaving first.”

Without further ado, Xia Yangyang hailed a taxi and left.

Gu Qichen stood there, his face frosty.

Xia Yangyang did go to the newspaper office and waited until the editor came to work.

Chief editor Old Yuan saw Xia Yangyang and reprimanded her, “What’s with young girls nowadays, acting recklessly, even daring to jump off a building. You should not be a reporter, but Spiderman, Xia Yangyang. I tell you, the newspaper can’t afford your insurance. If you become disabled, no one is responsible for taking care of you.”

Old Yuan stomped his feet in anger, while Xia Yangyang was dumbfounded.

Seeing Xia Yangyang like this, Old Yuan became even more enraged, “Xia Yangyang, are you even listening to me?”

Xia Yangyang mumbled, “I thought you would scold me for causing a complaint against the newspaper. I thought you would scold me for not completing my task. I thought you would scold me for getting the newspaper blacklisted by WORLD Hotel. I…didn’t expect that you were scolding me out of concern for my safety.”

Old Yuan was so angry he was about to explode, “Do you think I would care about those issues more than a life? Xia Yangyang, I really think you haven’t learned your lesson.”

Xia Yangyang felt a lump in her throat.

Both Old White and the editor were concerned about her safety.

In fact, Xia Yangyang knew that the newspaper suffered a huge loss this time, even receiving a lawyer’s letter.

Xia Yangyang lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, Editor.”

Seeing that Xia Yangyang’s apology was sincere, the editor’s voice softened a bit, “As long as you know you were wrong. Be careful next time, you can leave now.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t leave, but hesitated, “Editor, there’s something I want to ask you. Can you prepay me half a year’s salary?”

“Xia Yangyang, you just made a major mistake, and you have the nerve to ask for a salary advance?”

“Editor, please, I’m in a hurry, or else I can work for free for a year.”

For some reason, Xia Yangyang felt that the atmosphere in the newspaper office was good, which had changed her previous view of paparazzi.

So she plucked up her courage to ask for such an “unreasonable request.”

Old Yuan glared at Xia Yangyang fiercely for a while, and finally gave in, “How much?”
