Qiao Lian widened her eyes instantaneously.

Downstairs by the office building?

Terror-stricken, she replied: (Finishing work soon.)

Moments after sending the message, she received a reply again: (Waiting for you.)

Waiting for her…

Did this mean that he was going home with her?

She did not dare to waste any time, so she immediately packed up to leave. But just as she was standing up, Su Meimei walked out of her office and instructed her, “Qiao Lian, I just emailed you some scripts. Go through it and check for grammar and spelling mistakes.”

Qiao Lian: …!

She had transferred to Team Two for the whole afternoon, but Su Meimei had not spoken a single word to her.

This devil started assigning work to her just when it was time to leave?

She had to be doing it on purpose.

Qiao Lian frowned as she thought of Shen Liangchuan, who was still waiting for her downstairs. “I’ll take them home to do.”

“NO! These scripts are confidential and they can’t be taken out of the news agency! Don’t you know these basic rules?”

Qiao Lian stared at her and said, “Su Meimei, you better not go too far!”

“Are you disobeying my orders now? If that’s what you want, you can pack your stuff and get out!”

Qiao Lian was utterly speechless.

Su Meimei always used such trivial matters to pick on her.

Qiao Lian bit her lips and stared at her, “I am not feeling well today.”

Today was the second day of her menstrual cycle, she could feel a wave of pain in her lower abdomen.

“Oh, then show me a medical certificate from the hospital!”

How could she get a medical certificate?

Qiao Lian had no choice but to return to her seat, “Okay, I will do it.”

Su Meimei smiled and took a step forward, closer to Qiao Lian. “Qiao Lian, already can’t bear with it? Let me tell you, this is only the beginning!”

She stood straight with a proud smirk on her face. “You are not allowed to go home before finishing it!”

Qiao Lian swallowed her anger, wishing she could scream at Fan Jie now.

This guy was already causing trouble for her, and they had just met.

Suppressing her anger, Qiao Lian switched on her desktop and downloaded the script. While she scanned it, she found that Su Meimei had sent her a script with a hundred thousand words.

Her blood was slowly boiling.

Trying to keep calm, she saw Su Meimei walking out of the office excitedly with her handbag. Su Meimei raised her volume intentionally and said, “Darling, let’s have seafood for dinner to celebrate my promotion! I am so happy today.”

Qiao Lian waited for Su Meimei to leave before she picked up her phone to send Shen Liangchuan a message:

(I’m sorry, I was suddenly told to work overtime. Why don’t you leave first?)

She started checking the script after sending the text.

After a while, her phone vibrated again. She picked it up and realized that Shen Liangchuan had replied: (Approximately how long will you take?)

How long?

If she had to finish checking hundred thousand words completely, it would probably take the whole night!

Qiao Lian took a deep breath again. Looking at the time, she answered: (About 10 p.m.)

She knew that even if she could finish everything by tonight, Su Meimei would still find flaws in her work tomorrow. So, she decided to just work until 10 p.m. and not care about anything else!

Liangchuan replied: (Okay.)

Assuming that he had returned home, Qiao Lian stopped thinking about it.

At 10 p.m. sharp, she packed up her stuff and left.

After she reached the ground level, she intended to walk towards the bus station. Just then, a flash of light shone from opposite side.

She raised her hand to block the light from her eyes subconsciously, only to see Shen Liangchuan’s car driving towards her.

Qiao Lian was immediately stunned. “You didn’t leave?”

He had actually waited for her outside for four and a half hours?!
