Chapter 764

The Editor In Chief Is Too Absurd (11)

s.h.i.+ Sheng went to the office on the second day. As she barely sat down, Nie Chengs a.s.sistant already brought her a pile of work.

Those were not in her job scope, so s.h.i.+ Sheng got into a fight with the a.s.sistant on the spot.

Xin Yi, Chief Editor Nie ordered this. Theres no point in fighting with me. the a.s.sistant kept mentioning Chief Editor Nie.

This is not part of my job scope. s.h.i.+ Sheng sat on her seat with her arms crossed. She did not show any sign of anger. She was merely stating the facts.

The a.s.sistant replied sincerely and earnestly, Xin Yi, you are a newcomer. Doing more is also testing your ability. You cant disappoint the Chief Editors expectations.

His expectations? s.h.i.+ Sheng pointed at Anna and Zhao Qing, who were watching them, theyre new here too. Why am I the only one who needs to do this? If you want to pick on me, just say that. Dont sugarcoat it.

Youve already said that Im picking on you. Who dares to say that in front of everyone? Are you dumb?

Anna glared fiercely. Chief Editor Nie found out that she got the job from the back door. Dont drag us now with you.

Anna and Zhao Qing have experience in this field, only you dont. This is for you to gain experience. Why are you so ungrateful?

The a.s.sistant could not help but raise her voice.

s.h.i.+ Sheng raised her chin and responded c.o.c.kily, yes, Im ungrateful. Go ahead and fire me then!

The a.s.sistant,

What are you doing? Why did you bully my Xiao Yi? Song Meng Zis voice came through. She pushed through those in the way and got in front of s.h.i.+ Sheng.

Song Meng Zi, dont interrupt! the a.s.sistant chided.

Song Meng Zi flipped the doc.u.ments on the table, how am I interrupting? Its fine if Nie Cheng bullies me, but now hes bullying Xiao Yi too? Did Xiao Yi need to do these? Do you want me to report this to the superiors?

The a.s.sistants expression changed, glared at Song Meng Zi before leaving angrily with the doc.u.ments.

Lackey! Song Meng Zi cursed.

The a.s.sistant might have heard it. She paused and wanted to argue with Song Meng Zi but left in a hurry after receiving a call from Nie Cheng.

Song Meng Zi tapped on s.h.i.+ Shengs shoulder, good job, Xiao Yi. We shouldnt encourage this kind of notorious behavior. Nie Cheng really thinks everyone should listen to him! Dont worry, Ill cover you. Nie Cheng wont dare to do anything to you.

s.h.i.+ Sheng:

If youre not afraid of Nie Cheng, why didnt you fight back when Nie Cheng ordered you to do something?

And you want to cover me? Dont make me laugh!

s.h.i.+ Sheng went to the restroom during break time. When she pa.s.sed by the rest area, several editors were inside.

She could hear them talking faintly.

Didnt Chief Editor Shu have Song Meng Zis back? I dont know what he sees in her. All she does is cause trouble everywhere and barely does her work, making our department a mess.

And that Xin Yi. Coming in using the back door yet doesnt have a sense of self-awareness, still dares to talk back to Nie Cheng.

Nowadays, people are not like us. They can do whatever they want as long as they know someone powerful. Others need to work their way to get a job while they can settle it with a sentence. How can G.o.d be so unfair?

Who did Xin Yi rely on to get in here?

I dont know. I havent seen her have any contact with the higher-ups.

The only person that s.h.i.+ Sheng was close with was Song Meng Zi. But they knew that they only knew each other recently, so she would not sneak her in.

s.h.i.+ Sheng heard all kinds of rumors. She was pretty curious about the Chief Editor Shu they mentioned.

s.h.i.+ Sheng asked Song Meng Zi about it during lunch break.

Hes Shu Jue. Song Meng Zi was shocked, Youve been with the company for so long, and you still dont know who Shu Jue is?

Ive been thinking about how to torture Nie Cheng all day long. Why would I care about the others?

The plot did not have Chief Editor this name.

Song Meng Zis expression was weird for a moment. She pulled her chair close to s.h.i.+ Sheng and winked at s.h.i.+ Sheng, didnt I tell you that theyre jealous of me?

Song Meng Zi suddenly paused, I dont mind telling you, but you cant spill it.

s.h.i.+ Sheng stood up expressionless, I dont want to listen then.

Im not going to do that.

Hey, dont be like that. Song Meng Zi pulled s.h.i.+ Sheng back, alright, Ill tell you, sit down first.

s.h.i.+ Sheng was pulled back to her seat by Song Meng Zi. She cleared her throat.

Shu Jue is my college senior. Hes extremely talented, and countless girls were chasing him in his college years. He was not interested in any of them.

s.h.i.+ Sheng listened to the whole thing, and all she gathered was how charming he was without any main point.

Thats it?

Thats it! Song Meng Zi looked at her innocently, didnt you want to know about these?

s.h.i.+ Sheng, why would I want to know about how charming he is?

Then what do you want to know? Song Meng Zi got close to s.h.i.+ Sheng, and gave her a dirty smile, are you into Shu Jue? Let me tell you, Shu Jue is tough to serve, is a clean freak, utterly boring, ultimately clingy, and has a strong desire to control others. Hes not boyfriend material.

s.h.i.+ Shengs mouth twitched, arent you his girlfriend?

Song Meng Zis expression froze, Id rather die than to date him.

If youre not a couple, then why are people of the department jealous of you?

Cough cough actually. Shu Jue is my cousin. Dont tell anyone about this. My cousin used this tactic to stop those crazy chicks. And now I cant even date other people.

Youre his cousin?

Song Meng Zi nodded, she seemed sincere.

He really is her cousin.

She and Shu Jue were one year apart. She never listened to anyone except Shu Jue. So she was sent to the same college as Shu Jue.

Those years were the most miserable time for her.

The others were busy having fun and dating.

On the other hand, she was busy c.o.c.kblocking Shu Jue, ruining her chances in the dating field.

Song Meng Zi began to complain about Shu Jue as she was telling her story.

s.h.i.+ Sheng felt like she needed to meet this Chief Editor Shu. He might be Feng Ci.

[Hidden Mission: Spread Positivity in the World]

[Mission target: Shu Jue. Help Shu Jue expand his business, Hong Yang College, to spread positivity.]

s.h.i.+ Sheng, whoa, you just show up without warning.

[Side Mission: Hypocrite. No hints, kindly investigate by yourself.]

Fantastic, they dont even give hints now.

What about the range? How am I going to investigate?

[Host, you can do it. I believe in you.] If youre so great until you can fly to heaven and rule the universe, this difficulty is no big deal for you.

Theres no use in believing in me. Give me clues instead.

The system probably did not have access to the clues or did not have the hints, so it did not say anything and played dead.
