CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: A SUNFLOWER PLANTED IN COW DUNG

"Corporate culture? Haha~ You’re just a measly intern and aren’t even official yet..."

"I became official two days ago, and I’ve signed the contract. If Editor-in-Chief Li insists on letting me go, I don’t mind the company paying a penalty fee." Zhuang Shuqing interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

Li Weonian abruptly stood up, "You’re official now? Why didn’t anyone tell me about this?"

"But I remember coming to you, Editor-in-Chief Li, and you told me to keep up the good work."

"This..." Li Weonian thought for a moment, it seems there was indeed such a thing.

Zhuang Shuqing’s indifferent gaze swept across his astonished face, "Moreover, our company’s corporate culture stipulates that no one besides the boss has the right to fire an employee, so, Editor-in-Chief Li, don’t you truly need to report this to the boss? After all, that news piece significantly boosted our studio’s visibility."

As she spoke, Li Weonian’s face grew worse until by the time she finished speaking, it could no longer be merely described as ’bad’.

Looking at the innocently calm face in front of him, Li Weonian was so enraged that his face turned red and his neck swelled, yelling: "Don’t think that by saying these things I will be scared of you. The boss is so busy he’s hardly seen, he wouldn’t care about a mere intern."

Zhuang Shuqing, calm and composed, watched him, "Fine, but the contract is signed already, if you breach it for no reason, you’ll have to pay me the penalty fee first."

"You..." Li Weonian had never known this seemingly quiet intern was so articulate, leaving him momentarily lost for words. He paused, then said in a softer voice: "Fine. You go out first, the company won’t be lacking your penalty fee."

Zhuang Shuqing didn’t say anything and turned to leave.

Back at her desk, she thought it over, went to the editor’s office to say a word, grabbed her bag, and left the workplace. In the current situation, there wasn’t much for her to do in the office, might as well go out and get some air.

Walking down the street, Zhuang Shuqing felt a bit sad, her first job after graduation ended just like that. Thankfully, she had saved up a bit over the years from working while studying, otherwise, she’d be crying now.

Passing by a newsstand, Zhuang Shuqing thought for a moment and stopped to buy today’s entertainment front page.

When her eyes fell on the headline, they suddenly widened in surprise.

New Actress Tan Biyang to get engaged with the new heir of Kairun Group?

Zhuang Shuqing frowned as she read it. There’s only one son in the president’s family of Kairun Group, so the man Tan Biyang is to engage must be that guy.

She pursed her lips; it’s really like a sunflower stuck in cow dung.

Undoubtedly, Tan Biyang was that cow dung.

Glancing at the time, with nowhere else to go, she decided to call Qin Huaixin to come out for a meal.

It was midday, the sun harshly fierce, Zhuang Shuqing walked into a nearby restaurant, found a spot, and after sitting down, she texted Qin Huaixin, telling her to come in and look for someone when she arrives.

This is a fairly famous western restaurant in City B, not too pricey, and with her income level, it’s still affordable as long as it’s not for every meal.

While bored and waiting, she rested her chin on her palm and watched the entrance, lest Qin Huaixin, the notorious poor navigator, couldn’t find her.

A familiar figure appeared at the restaurant entrance, Zhuang Shuqing suddenly widened her eyes at the tall figure, how could he be here?

Following that, under her gaze, the man walked in without a sideways glance, heading towards the private rooms.

"Shuqing, what are you looking at?"
