<h4>Chapter 222: The Beginning That He Had Thought (2)</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
As Qiao Lian was entering the news agency, the atmosphere was the same as always. People gathered in twos and threes, talking about thetest gossips.
However once she entered, the whole news agency suddenly became quiet.
When they saw her, although they tried their best to pretend like nothing had happened, the kind of alienation and indifferent attitude that they had was very obvious to her.
Qiao Lian frowned and sized up the surrounding people, in doubt.
When she used to work with them in the past, everyone had worked together happily—even when she got promoted to chief editor in Team Two. Yesterday she had still been chatting andughing happily with this group of people, but what had happened today?
Her footsteps stopped and as she was about to speak, she saw the people surrounding her immediately turn their heads to speak to those beside them. It was as if they were afraid that she would speak to them.
This scene made her gaze sank.
She didn’t speak a word again and entered the office.
After a while, she picked up her cell phone, found a colleague’s WeChat and sent a message: [What’s up?]
The other party responded swiftly, with only one sentence.
[Xiao Ye resigned.]
Xiao Ye had resigned?
Qiao Lian’s pupils contracted. She stared at those three words in disbelief. She inquired: [Why?]
However, her colleague did not reply her after that.
She sat in the office, staring at her cell phone quietly. She recalled the way that Xiao Ye had been reprimanded by the chief editors of Team One yesterday. What else couldn’t she understand?
After a long period of silence, she picked up her cell phone again, found Xiao Ye’s WeChat and sent her three words: [I am sorry.]
Xiao Ye replied speedily.
[Ms Qiao, it is fine. I will get a new job and I’ll be fine again.]
Clearly, her mood still didn’t seem too bad.
Just as she was deciding what to say, she received another message from Xiao Ye.
[It is obvious that the chief editor is using me to show his authority. I left just like that, so it will surely be tough for you to stay in the news agency too. However, I am really unwilling to be faced with people who deliberately make things difficult for me every day. Ms Qiao, I am sorry.]
Qiao Lian’s hand immediately paused.
She stared at that message for a very long time.
Lastly, she replied: [I wish you a bright future.]
Just as she put down her cell phone, Su Meimei walked in and said, “Qiao Lian, the managing editor called for a meeting.”
The p mark on her face was still red. Evidently, she had been beaten by Mo Ru with strength. At that moment she was looking at Qiao Lian’s gaze, full of satisfaction.
After she finished the sentence, she did not head towards the meeting room but stood at the original spot, stared at her and said, “Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that the managing editor has temporarily transferred me over to be his assistant. Ah, Xiao Ye took the initiative to resign, that’s tactful of her. But now, who in the office will dare to be under your charge? You have been promoted to chief editor, so what? Still merely amanding officer.”
Qiao Lian ignored her sneers and headed forward.
Indeed, the meeting was being held for the people of Team Two. Liu Zhixing asked, “The people in Team One, who wants to join them?”
As he finished speaking, everyone simultaneously lowered their heads.
Liu Zhixing raised his eyebrows, “No one?”
Zhang Chunhua, the chief editor from Team Oneughed coldly. “We already do not have enough manpower in Team One, how can we afford to assign them to Team Two?
Liu Zhixing sighed, nced at Qiao Lian and said, “You have to recruit people yourself then.”
Qiao Lian nodded. “You allowed me to recruit, and so I have already published the recruitment notice. I have received a few applications and have already made an appointment with them toe for an interview today.”
Liu Zhixing nodded.
However, the interviews did not progress well.
