CHAPTER 1011: CHAPTER 757: BO ZHI 8

She hadn’t reached the office yet when she was called over by the editor-in-chief.

Several colleagues looked in her direction.

That kind of attention is really unlikable.

Mou Wen entered the editor-in-chief’s office, casually shutting the door, only to see the editor-in-chief’s unpleasant face.

The editor-in-chief has a nice name, Wu Tong.

About thirty years old, but indeed a contributor to Mingjiang. In other words, Mingjiang’s development to this day is inseparable from her efforts.

Although one of Mingjiang’s founders, Chairman Tong, is her boyfriend, let’s be honest.

Mingjiang isn’t just a place you can get into through outside connections.

Analyzing Mingjiang’s successful cooperation cases, most people who enter Mingjiang truly have real talent and learning.

Otherwise, the industry reputation wouldn’t be so solid.

Only by comparison, with a reference point, can one appreciate how good one’s company is, right?

Although the chairmen are a bit stingy, the combined salary and bonuses are still worth looking forward to.

At least throughout the year, there is something to look forward to.

"Editor-in-chief, you called for me?"

Wu Tong waved her hand, signaling her to sit, and then composed herself before speaking.

"Xiaomou, how many years have you been at Mingjiang?"

"This is the third year."

Wu Tong nodded, "I am aware of your performance; you managed to climb to the deputy editor position in just three years;

it’s your ability. Congratulations to you first."

"Thank you."

Mou Wen was unsure, feeling uneasy and restless with the words.

Wu Tong seemed to notice her concern and hurriedly said, "Don’t be nervous, I called you to discuss something with you."

"Please go ahead, Editor-in-chief."

Wu Tong rubbed her tired brow, "Did you hear from the reception about the argument between Chairman Tong and me before you came?"

Mou Wen shook her head, naturally not willing to betray her colleague.

"No."

Wu Tong scrutinized her, attempting to discern any disguise on her face, but unfortunately, it seemed Mou Wen truly didn’t know.

She had no time to further investigate; the pressing issue standing before her needed solving.

She took a deep breath, feeling irritable inside, "The higher-ups plan to launch a new section, Financial Figures;

the board intends to ask you to take on the main responsibility over there, I refused."

Wu Tong stared intently at Mou Wen’s face, trying to see any trace of reluctance.

Also, the humiliation of having her career path obstructed, but Mou Wen expressionlessly nodded, "Thank you, Editor-in-chief."

Mou Wen had interacted with people listed on financial rankings and knew how challenging and demanding they were.

Wu Tong’s refusal was simply a godsend for her.

The lengthy work was suffocating her, perhaps her views differed from Wu Tong’s.

These years working under Wu Tong, she was always tasked with the most demanding work.

The toughest interviews and challenges were eternally hers.

This calculating mindset was exhausting, and she couldn’t understand why Wu Tong enjoyed it so much.

"You’re not angry?"

Not seeing the reaction she expected, Wu Tong couldn’t help but ask.

She couldn’t believe Mou Wen truly didn’t care at all.

Mou Wen sighed, quickly shook her head, and sincerely said, "Thank you, Editor Wu, for refusing that job for me. I feel okay as things are now."

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "I haven’t thought about changing positions, and I still have several people’s materials to write;

busy with this task, so changing positions is something I won’t consider for now."

Wu Tong didn’t say much, just replied "Alright," "That’s my thought process, and since you feel the same, I’ll continue to refuse."

"Thank you, Editor-in-chief."

Wu Tong was embarrassed by her gratitude, realizing she had done nothing but obstruct Mou Wen’s work;

impairing her chance at promotion and salary increase.

But Mou Wen’s attitude left Wu Tong unsure if it was sarcasm or genuine indifference.

However, stopping Mou Wen was satisfying enough.

"Next, there’s a task for you. Previously, three others scheduled appointments several times but were turned away;

The person doesn’t want to accept any magazine interviews or visits, but if Mingjiang manages to do so, our reputation in the industry;

will take a qualitative leap."

Mou Wen was still unclear about whom she was referring to, so she asked, "Which person does Editor Wu want to interview?"

Wu Tong fixed her gaze on Mou Wen, "Coincidentally, it’s your schoolmate, and senior, Bo Zhi."

Bo Zhi is very famous, and definitely an exemplary figure in academic theory within the scholarly world.

Moreover, Bo Zhi is somewhat special; not a child star, yet more famous than one, and an event involving a speech after growing up;
