Qin Zhiyin scoffed, “Editor-in-chief Wang, do you have to hit Shen Weiyin when she’s at a low point?”
“What do you mean by that? Is that the attitude you should use when you’re speaking to your superior?” They were in the office area, and Editor-in-chief Wang couldn’t tolerate any show of disrespect. In a low voice, he angrily rebuked, “Qin Zhiyin, you’re no longer the editor-in-chief. You’re just an unimportant staff, an insignificant editor. Who gave you the audaciousness to speak to me with that attitude? Don’t make excuses. If you don’t do your assigned task well, you won’t be getting a bonus this month! Figure out something for Shen Weiyin’s matter today. If you can’t think of a way, work overtime. You’re not allowed to go home until you figure something out!”
After saying that, Editor-in-chief Wang, who looked as if he was five-months pregnant, returned to his office.
The junior staff next to Qin Zhiyin whispered, “Older sister Qin, don’t argue with him. Keeping your job is more important.”
Qin Zhiyin didn’t say anything. When she stood up, her phone rang.
“Hello, this is Qin Zhiyin.”
There was a sweet voice on the other end. “Hello Ms. Qin, I’m from Lu Corporation. Do you have time to talk right now?”
Qin Zhiyin slightly paused. “Lu Corporation?”
“Yes. It was CEO Lu that specifically told me to contact you. May I ask, are you interested in changing jobs?”
Qin Zhiyin glanced at the editor-in-chief, who was sitting in his office. He always liked to boss people around. She thought of the confidentiality contract that she had signed with the company as well as the huge amount of compensation she would have to pay if she quit her job before the contract ended. For the moment, she was indecisive.
“This... I have to think about it.”
“If Ms. Qin is worried about the contract compensation, you don’t have to worry about that. CEO Lu has said that if you’re willing to work for Lu Corporation, we’re willing to bear that cost. If your company won’t agree to release you from your contract, we’ll appoint a company lawyer to handle your case.”
This was simply an unexpected present from heaven.
“But... Why would you guys...”
“Our CEO said that a talent like Ms. Qin shouldn’t be wronged by staying at a small media company. Our company’s PR Department started late, and we’re in need of talented people like Ms. Qin. If you can join us, we’re sure that you’ll be able to make enormous progress in the PR Department. We’re also sure that Ms. Qin needs a broader platform to develop.”
Sitting in this cubicle with an area of a few square meters and spending all day digging for negative news about celebrities and playing the role of a water army by writing fake posts, Qin Zhiyin felt as if she was suffocating starting from a long time ago.
Presented with such a big temptation, she was truly powerless to resist.
Qin Zhiyin took a deep breath. “I’ll go to your company for a face-to-face meeting tomorrow.”
“Sure, no problem.”
Qin Zhiyin hung up the phone, poured a cup of water, and went straight to Editor-in-chief Wang’s office.
Editor-in-chief Wang saw Qin Zhiyin bringing in a glass of water. He thought Qin Zhiyin was coming here to admit defeat and apologize. He comfortably leaned back. With an insufferable bureaucratic attitude, he asked, “What? Coming here to acknowledge your mistakes...
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhiyin splashed the water in Editor-in-chief Wang’s face.
For a moment, Editor-in-chief Wang was baffled. He was wet all over, and his shirt was soaked. He wiped the water off his face and took several breaths before shouting, “Qin Zhiyin! Have you gone crazy?!”
“It’s not that I’ve gone crazy. I quit.” Qin Zhiyin tossed the plastic cup at his desk and sighed. She felt as if she had finally paid back all the frustration and anger that had accumulated over the past five years. She coldly surveyed the office.
“The team that I built has fallen to such a state because of you. No one is better than you at taking money and doing nothing. I don’t want to waste more time talking in front of trash like you. Hope you’ll have a prosperous business. I won’t be part of this any longer. However, I have to remind you. If you start too many rumors, sooner or later, you’ll face retribution!”
