[The Present]

With five months' pregnancy and twins in his belly, Cole Wu could no longer cover himself up!

He must... take a leave.

If the company did not allow, he could only resign.

However, he expected that the company would definitely refuse his request for absence.

After all, he was not asking for a week or two, but...five months at least!

He was just an intern, not even with a contract. How could he be permitted to take a five-month leave!

However, for the twins in his belly, Cole Wu had no choice. He had to rest well at home otherwise the twins could easily get miscarried.

That was what doctor said.

Fortunately, he had some savings from the past few years, although not that much. But it should be enough to support him for half a year.

After the children were born, a big man with a pair of twins. It would be extremely hard.

However...as long as he thought of it that there would be two babies accompanying him to face the world in the future, Cole Wu was hopeful in his heart.

His body, even if it was sore and tired, would be full of strength on thinking of his children.

In order to cover up his pregnant body, Cole Wu wore an oversize coat. Along with his action, the coat could barely cover his shape.

He took a taxi to his company–a newspaper office.

The Xinfeng Times was a newspaper agency in the Pearl City specializing in politics and business. Although it was not large-scale, its reporting style of voicing concerns about the contemporary society had a lot of weight in the industry.

"...Grayson, that's it...I have to take a five-month leave because of my illness. I know this is a hard thing to ask, so..."

Cole Wu was about to resign and then Grayson Liu, the chief editor, interrupted him. He looked at Cole Wu meaningfully and said: "Cole, it is okay that you take five months off. I can let you become a contract employee immediately and even apply a paid five-month leave especially for you!"

"...What?" Cole Wu couldn't believe his ears. He was a little panicked, saying: "Grayson, what were you saying?"

Grayson Liu nodded and smiled. He knocked on the table and flipped the cover of a magazine to Cole Wu, saying: "Cole...I didn't expect you to know the second young master of HuaFeng. Last time I saw you and him together at the gate of the company. You must have a special relationship with each other."

His words had a hidden meaning.

Cole Wu gradually looked serious. He said: "Grayson...I don't have any special relationship with him. We barely know each other."

He always felt that Grayson Liu wanted him to do something that was unfavorable to HuaFeng.

Did he want him to...go undercover by Tye Zhang's side and investigate things like the scandal of HuaFeng?

He would never do such things!

No matter how Tye Zhang treated him,

Lord Zhang, Madame Zhang and Toy Zhang all had treated him well enough!

Besides, Chaz and Toy were getting married. He couldn't do anything that would ruin their relationship.

Grayson Liu smiled gently and said: "It's your business whether you are familiar with each other or not...What I want to tell you is that as long as you can take that photo of the cohabitation of the second young master of HuaFeng and popular woman Thea Zheng, all I've said just now will be yours!"

"......"

What?

Wasn't this what a gossip magazine should do?

Why did the chief editor want him to do this?

"Are you serious, Grayson? Don't you think professional paparazzi will be more suitable for this? Besides, we don't report box news in our newspapers. Is your task a little..." Cole Wu looked reluctant. He didn't have any clue what the chief editor's purpose was.

"Cough! Well...That's not something you should worry about. Anyway, this work is personally assigned to you by me. It's well-paid. Think about it, it's now or never!" Grayson Liu knew that Cole Wu had a poor economic condition. He could also see that Cole Wu was very interested in this assignment, so he once again aggravated the appeal in his tone. He stood up and said: "Cole Wu. You have been working at our agency for a long time, and the three-month trial period has passed already. However, you are neither a full member nor dismissed now...What do you think is the reason for this?"

Cole Wu was silent.

He used to think about this question as well. The Human Resource Department explained to him that he would continue to be examined for a while. He doubted this statement.

He was not very outstanding if not lousy at this job.

He had no idea why the company was willing to keep him, although he was indeed very grateful.

"I don't know."

Grayson Liu sighed with some thoughts in his mind. He looked at Cole Wu and said sincerely: "When you came to the internship, it was me that took you through much work. You are arguably my half apprentice. You are a calm, quiet, and hardworking kid. That's why I have been offering you opportunities...So, this time..."

Seeing that Cole Wu had not yet agreed and looked more and more serious and suspicious, and even put up the posture of resigning and leaving, Grayson Liu could wait no more!

His face darkened, shouting loudly: "You've got to help me this time!"

"What?" Cole Wu was stunned. It might overly soon for the chief editor to change his attitude.

"Cough...Cole! Stop making blind conjectures. I'm telling you the truth! The wife of Director-General came and talked to me! Director-General had recently been infatuated with Thea Zheng. He wouldn't go home, or look at his wife, or care about his son...So the wife of Director-General had instructed that a piece of juicy news about Thea Zheng shall be leaked to paparazzi so that she could win her husband back! Cole, Cole please help me! I really have no choice...Look around, who else lives closer than you to the second younger master of HuaFeng and is more able than a professional paparazzi to take photos at his home!"

Cole Wu suddenly understood. Although the reason was too strange, it would make sense if thinking about the strange relationship between the Director-General and his wife.

Under Grayson Liu's expectation and pleading, Cole Wu finally nodded his head and agreed.

"...Okay! Grayson...I'll take this job! I'll send it to you as soon as I get the photo! The five-month paid leave and returning to work as a full member that you mentioned, do they count?

"Of course! As long as you help me to solve the madam’s task, I will definitely remember your great kindness for a lifetime!"

Cole Wu smiled. This way, not only the vacation was settled, but also his economic pressure got much relieved.

It's just Tye Zhang's box news, and it's not going to do harm to HuaFeng.

He would take this job!

Although Lord Zhang loved his younger son Tye Zhang, he hated the most he messing around with random people, especially those from the entertainment circle.

With the box news, Tye Zhang would surely be hit hard by Lord Zhang!

On thinking of Tye Zhang being hit by his father with a stick, Cole Wu couldn't help laughing happily.
