525: Chapter 525 Lin Fei’s First Love – Xia Youyou 525: Chapter 525 Lin Fei’s First Love – Xia Youyou Zhonghai City, Hengmao Building, 45th floor.

Treasure Magazine.

“Yo, isn’t this our great photographer, Qi Wenjie?

I’ve really missed you these past few days!”

“I think it’s not her you miss, but the photos of handsome foreign guys she took on her business trip.”

“I don’t need any photos of handsome foreign guys.

I just want to know, Wenjie, did you buy the makeup products I asked for?”

“And also someone else’s bag.

Wenjie, if you didn’t buy it for her, she would be very, very sad.”

“You women, Wenjie has barely come back from her business trip, can’t you let her rest for a bit?”

“Yeah, come on, Wenjie, have a cup of coffee to calm your nerves.”

…

As Qi Wenjie entered Treasure Magazine with her bag and camera in tow, many of the Treasure Magazine employees, who had been busy with their heads down, stopped their work and greeted her with smiles.

Those who were close by even handed her a cup of coffee.

“The stuff you asked me to bring, I’ve brought it all.

When you invite me to a meal, that’s when I’ll hand them over to you.

As for those photos of handsome guys you wanted to see, wait until I come out of the editor-in-chief’s office, and I’ll let you have your fill.”

After dealing with her colleagues who had asked her to bring stuff, and having cordially greeted the Treasure Magazine staff, Qi Wenjie walked towards the only female employee who was still buried in her work.

“Xia Youyou, your best friend comes back from a business trip, and you don’t even look up to say hello.

You’re overly enthusiastic when you get into your work!”

Although she was complaining, neither Qi Wenjie’s expression nor her gestures showed any displeasure.

Rather, it seemed more like she was joking with the diligent woman.

From this, it could be seen that Qi Wenjie had a very good relationship with this busy and quiet woman.

And just when Qi Wenjie’s words ended, a clear, gentle voice like the ding-dong of a mountain spring followed, “You would have come to see me sooner or later anyway.

It’s not too late to greet you now.”

“You’re just a lazy cat.

Don’t blame me for not warning you, being too lazy as a woman will make it hard for you to get married.”

“And I don’t know who it is that doesn’t even know how to fold the blankets when getting up in the morning.”

“Well, that’s what you’re here for.

If I folded the blankets, how would it show off your domestic skills?”

“For an unmarried woman, ‘domestic skills’ is not the appropriate descriptor.”

“Here we go again, Major General.

We graduated from university two years ago; when are you going to change this pedantic nature of yours?”

As she spoke, Qi Wenjie, with slightly knitted brows, bent down gracefully and extended her hand.

She lifted the head of the woman buried in her work to face her directly.

From that point, the delicate and incredibly beautiful face that could bring cities to their knees was revealed.

A melon-seed shaped face, willow leaf eyebrows.

The eyebrows were arched, and the eyes shimmered like water.

A high-bridged nose and lips red as jade.

Her neck was slim and elegantly arrogant.

This was a woman who was not only in the same league as Qi Wenjie but perhaps even surpassed her in beauty.

Compared to Qi Wenjie, who exuded a more modern urban female aura, this long-haired woman, known as Major General Xia Youyou by Qi Wenjie, leaned more towards being gentle and reserved.

The temperament that she radiated was also more inclined to be elegant and calm.

A typical lady from the water towns, graceful without falling into cliché.

Being bestowed with such temperament and also being referred to as Major General Xia Youyou by Qi Wenjie,

It naturally had to be Lin Fei’s past love—Xia Youyou!

“Alright, stop it.

I still have work to do, and you’ve just returned from a business trip, so you should hurry and report to the editor-in-chief.

She’s been anxiously waiting for your photos,” said the beautiful Xia Youyou, her face fondled by Qi Wenjie for a while.

With that, she picked up a pen from the desk and gently tapped Qi Wenjie as a reminder.

“Let her wait!

Originally, it was agreed that I could stay abroad for an extra day as a reward for my hard work.

I haven’t even stayed half a day extra yet, and they called me back.

If I hadn’t bought them gifts in advance, who knows how these women might torment me after work,” Qi Wenjie complained verbally about not being able to stay abroad for an extra day, taking advantage of the company-funded trip to immerse in the foreign culture.

Actually, Qi Wenjie was more upset about returning early, especially because it coincided with Lin Fei’s affair.

Although Qi Wenjie harbored some special feelings for Lin Fei, the sorrow from learning about Lin Fei’s marriage undoubtedly outweighed the joy of their chance meeting.

Especially because she had to communicate this sadness to her close friend, Xia Youyou, which undeniably was what frustrated Qi Wenjie the most.

“Don’t complain anymore; the printing factory was urgent, and the editor-in-chief had no choice but to call you back early.

If you’re not happy, I’ll just wash your clothes for an additional week,” Xia Youyou thought Qi Wenjie was merely complaining about not being able to stay abroad for another day, and with a kind smile comforting Qi Wenjie said.

Xia Youyou’s gentle comforting did not alleviate Qi Wenjie’s feelings.

On the contrary, it aroused even greater discontent within her.

A look of frustration similar to what she once directed at Lin Fei was now bestowed upon Xia Youyou, “I can’t stand you anymore!

You act as if you’re familiar with the editor-in-chief.

The magazine isn’t your family’s, and you, foolish girl, always think on behalf of others.

When will you learn to think for yourself?!”

“We are part of the magazine, and only if the magazine does well can we—”

“Enough, enough, I’ve heard those words from you so many times since we joined this magazine!” Unwilling to hear Xia Youyou preach, Qi Wenjie gathered herself and said with a more solemn expression, “You hurry up and finish your work.

When I come out of the editor-in-chief’s office, there’s something I need to tell you.

After hearing it, you probably won’t be in the mood to work anymore.”

With that, Qi Wenjie, not allowing Xia Youyou a chance to respond, turned around and headed towards the editor-in-chief’s office.

Watching Qi Wenjie enter the editor-in-chief’s office, Xia Youyou, her pretty lips curving into a charming smile, couldn’t help but gently shake her head.

Knowing Qi Wenjie’s nature, she thought Qi Wenjie might share some interesting stories from abroad or bring her some gifts.

Xia Youyou did not take the significant matter Qi Wenjie mentioned to heart.

Ever since high school, when that man who once captivated her entire heart left school to join the military, hardly anything could disturb her peace of mind…
