Chapter 220: My Face Is Getting Slapped Swollen
Old Master Gu froze on the spot when his eyes landed on the two characters “Su He.”
He wished he could scratch those two words right off the newspaper.
Just a moment ago, he’d said this author was a hundred times better than Su He, and now it turned out they were the same person!
Thankfully, no one else was in the room. Otherwise, where would he put his old face?!
Were Huaxia Daily and Inquiry News really that desperate for articles?
There are so many writers across the country—why did both papers pick this girl’s work?!
Must be because they didn’t have similar content, so she just got lucky.
At most, it’s just these two pieces. There won’t be a third one!
Thinking this way, Old Master Gu felt much better.
Then the phone rang.
When he picked up, Gu Chiyan’s voice came through, “Grandpa, did you see today’s Inquiry News?”
“No.”
He hung up right after.
Anyone with half a brain could guess what that brat was about to say. Best not to hear it at all.
By the afternoon, the news that Su He’s article had been published in Inquiry News had spread all over An County!
When the newspaper was delivered, Factory Director Tian happened to be lecturing Su He.
“Little Su, you’re my secretary now. Your writing still needs more practice.
Sure, you were published in Huaxia Daily before, but that was just a fluke. Don’t get arrogant!
You should read Inquiry News more often. The articles there are very deep.”
Factory Director Tian felt suffocated. He didn’t dare openly offend Su He, but he also worried she might one day usurp his position, so he had to slip in a few warnings when he could.
Su He had already heard the news from Station Chief Liao earlier. So when she heard him, she smiled sweetly, “Director, the articles in Inquiry News are indeed profound. Just look at this one—it’s a perfect example.”
She picked up the newspaper, flipped to the page with her article, and pointed.
Factory Director Tian’s eyesight was much sharper than Old Master Gu’s. He immediately saw the name “Su He.”
His eyeballs almost popped out!
Su He poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed:
“Director, I never expected both of the articles I submitted would get published—and in the two most influential newspapers in the country, no less.
My writing really isn’t that great, and I never even went to college, so why did they pick me?!
And both at the same time!
Ai, you know I prefer to keep a low profile and don’t like being in the spotlight, but now I’ll definitely be famous! Such a headache…”
Factory Director Tian angrily downed a large cup of tea!
If he’d known, he would have read the paper beforehand!
Now not only did his attempt to knock her down fail, it made her even more smug!
Ever since meeting this girl, his face felt like it was getting slapped swollen again and again!
After a bit of humble bragging, Su He smoothly changed the subject:
“Director, once our instant noodles start selling well, shouldn’t I write a report?
I’ll make sure to highlight you in it—after all, the successful introduction of the instant noodle production line couldn’t have happened without your foresight. Not every leader has your vision.”
The anger in Factory Director Tian’s chest vanished poof—like smoke into thin air.
He coughed twice, “Little Su, when it comes to writing, I can’t compare with you. You just write however you see fit.
Oh, right, I almost forgot.
Even though you’re now my secretary, we don’t yet have a suitable candidate for Deputy Director of the Sales Department. For now, you can hold both positions and receive the pay for both.”
Su He knew this was his way of returning the favor, so she responded with a polite, smiling thank-you.
Factory Director Tian’s vision might be narrow, and he often tried to keep her in check, but compared to those jealous and petty leaders, he was still miles better.
