Chapter 220: A Familiar Figure Was Seen
Lin Mei was speechless after being rebuked.
Just then, the elevator arrived at Lin Mei's floor. She frowned and said, "Qiao Luo, don't be so smug. With me here, it won't be so easy for you to sit in that seat."
As she spoke, she stepped out in her high heels.
Qiao Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, you wanted to see me?"
Around noon, Qiao Luo was called to the office by Editor-in-Chief Tang.
"Qiao Luo, please sit down," Editor-in-Chief Tang said politely.
Qiao Luo then sat down in her seat.
Then, Editor-in-Chief Tang poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "How is it? Have you made your work plan for the next quarter?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo nodded and then reported her work plan to Editor-in-Chief Tang.
Editor-in-Chief Tang seemed quite satisfied with what he heard.
“Your plan is very good, but I would like to add one more item.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo looked over.
Editor-in-Chief Tang said, "These are the feedback data from readers after our last collaboration with TL Company. Many readers have developed a strong interest in that company, especially its founder. In the poll published on the official WeChat account, the founder ranked first by a wide margin, which clearly shows that readers are very interested in the person behind the company."
Editor-in-Chief Tang placed a data file in front of her as he spoke.
After reading it, Qiao Luo found that, just as Editor-in-Chief Tang had described, readers had developed a strong interest in the founder of TL Company.
"But Editor-in-Chief Tang, we are, after all, a financial magazine. Analyzing market trends is our top priority. We shouldn't spend all our energy on gossip about people. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
Qiao Luo voiced her inner question.
Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Tang said, "What you said makes sense, but our magazine does have a dedicated entertainment section. Although finance and entertainment are two different areas, you can't deny that all news is from the same source. No matter what the news is, as long as it can pique readers' interest, we shouldn't let it pass. Besides, it's just a brief look at someone's background, which won't affect the overall direction of the journal. At most, it adds a bit of entertainment to the dry business data, which is harmless."
Qiao Luo thought about it and agreed. Indeed, financial magazines can sometimes be too dry, which is why she deliberately injects some humorous and lighthearted topics when interviewing people.
"Then I'll give it a try."
After leaving the editor-in-chief's office, Qiao Luo immediately contacted the person in charge at TL Company. She originally planned to discuss the workflow for the next stage with them, but unexpectedly, she was notified that the project was suspended.
Qiao Luo was very surprised, "Did something happen?"
They didn't give a definite answer, only telling her to wait for notification.
Just as Qiao Luo was feeling puzzled, Bai Ge walked over.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Seeing her furrowed brows, Bai Ge asked, puzzled.
Do you know what's been happening at TL Corporation lately?
Qiao Luo asked.
Bai Ge shook his head. "I'm not too sure about that. How about we ask someone in the same industry?"
Qiao Luo thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, we can't spread this around before we figure things out. I'd better go and see for myself."
With that, she went back to her seat, grabbed her car keys, and left.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the technology building. Qiao got out of the car, but was stopped as soon as she entered the company gate.
"I'm from CBN (China Business Network), and I'd like to speak with Mr. Tan," Qiao Luo had no choice but to state her purpose.
The receptionist didn't recognize Qiao Luo and asked, "Do you have an appointment?"
Qiao Luo shook her head. She had called Tan Ming earlier, but no one answered.
"I'm sorry, you can't go in without an appointment." The receptionist's attitude was very firm.
Qiao Luo had no choice but to give up. She glanced at the time and realized it was almost time to get off work. Knowing that Tan Ming would inevitably pass by, she decided to wait in the lobby.
Unexpectedly, instead of seeing Tan Ming, they saw a familiar figure.
