My Fortune-Blessed Leading Lady-Chapter 1024 - 761: Bo Zhi 12_2
Wu Tong’s words clearly intended to dismiss her, and naturally, Mou Wen would not back down. She stared back at her and curled her lips, "Chief Editor Wu, your actions are against Mingjiang’s employee guidelines;
abusing your power as a leader won’t withstand any investigation. The moment I report this, both of us will end up looking bad."
"Are you threatening me?"
Mou Wen replied, "I wouldn’t dare. I just hope Chief Editor Wu doesn’t take things too far; even if the relationship is gone, you should still give some face, no?"
Wu Tong’s gaze was like a venomous arrow aimed straight at Mou Wen, but Mou Wen stood there, unfazed.
A few minutes later, Mou Wen lost interest in lingering any longer and turned to leave. "Chief Editor Wu, you might want to reconsider. If the result is still irreversible;
then we’ll both have to do our best to secure Bo Jian’s interview. Otherwise, the outcome of this game hasn’t been fully decided yet."
Wu Tong pointed at the office door, "Get out, I don’t want to say another word to you right now."
Mou Wen felt as if a great pardon had been granted, and walked out in a few quick steps, opening the door and leaving.
As she stepped outside, some colleagues with whom she got along well gave her reassuring looks, asking if she was okay.
Mou Wen wasn’t one to unnecessarily express herself or fail at managing her expressions; she smiled peacefully at everyone and shook her head, "Everyone, keep busy; it’s nothing much."
The deputy chief editors naturally had more information than others, and Meisha was one of them.
She was met with a cold reception right at the start and had no chance at all from the very beginning.
Returning here, she was under pressure from Wu Tong, smoldering with anger inside.
Seeing Mou Wen so calm and indifferent, she sneered, "Who are you pretending to be? After entering the chief editor’s office, do you still think you hold your original value?"
Mou Wen remained unfazed and retorted, "Do you still hold your original value?"
Meisha was left speechless, only feeling that Mou Wen was intentionally making things difficult in front of everyone.
She gritted her teeth, filled with rage inside.
But soon, what Wu Tong said made her happy because the interview Mou Wen had in her hands was given to the male deputy chief editor by Wu Tong.
His name was Ding Li.
Usually not very talkative and having average relations with everyone, he was surprised to have such an opportunity land on his head and instinctively glanced at Mou Wen.
He wanted to say something but stopped.
Wu Tong naturally saw his expression and asked, "What, can’t you do it?"
Ding Li couldn’t say he couldn’t do it, but it wasn’t the right time to speak as he felt it was a bit unscrupulous.
They were especially aware of how hard Mou Wen had worked to secure this interview, facing challenges online and in person repeatedly.
Only then did they agree to this interview, but in just a few seconds, Wu Tong snatched it from Mou Wen and handed it to him.
Even possessing it made him feel slightly guilty.
Privately, Ding Li sought out Mou Wen, in a secluded side of the company, the open-air parking lot.
Ding Li was on edge; although there was always competition among deputy chief editors, it wasn’t always this malicious.
He thought long and hard before deciding to approach Mou Wen. She looked at him, "Deputy Editor Ding, what do you want with me?"
Mou Wen was strikingly good-looking, seemingly very mild-tempered, but after working together for years, everyone knew what everyone was truly like.
Among all the deputy chief editors, Ding Li least wanted to offend Mou Wen.
But now, a sword hung over his head.
Without making a choice, he was afraid it wouldn’t work out.
Ding Li coughed, "Deputy Editor Mou, I don’t have intentions of taking work from your hands. As for this matter..."
"I know."
Mou Wen interrupted him, "This matter is out of our control, and I understand your difficulties.
Since Chief Editor Wu assigned this task to you, you should proceed with it.
I’ve already informed you of the scheduled interview time, and as for the rest, I won’t interfere or get involved."
Ding Li had received some insider information that the board had intentions of promoting Mou Wen, whether it was gossip or true.
It was an awkward time for him.
He held no grudges against Mou Wen.
Having a competitive relationship didn’t mean he looked down on Mou Wen.
Unlike the other two, he admired Mou Wen’s business abilities.
Now that Mou Wen had relented, he didn’t feel entirely at ease either; securing someone like Bo Jian wasn’t something anyone could accomplish.
This wasn’t a first-time scenario; over a year ago, Meisha tried intercepting an interview that Mou Wen had arranged midway.
But everyone saw the end result.
Quite a failure.
He wanted to ask Mou Wen how she secured Bo Jian, but he couldn’t bring himself to ask. Snatching someone’s work and then seeking to learn from them wasn’t very ethical.
