Chapter 60: Chapter 60: The Number One Competitor

The next day, Lu Wanwan decided to go to the newspaper office for overtime, humming a song cheerfully.

But as soon as she remembered Gu Annan’s last words, she still felt somewhat upset.

When she thanked him, he’d reply, “Mind your own business,” as if afraid she might overthink.

Well, if he disliked her that much, she’d better stay out of his way.

“Qiao Moran is quitting showbiz? Hah, Xiaolu, you must speak with evidence; rumors need solid info. Who would believe you without any proof!”

After Lu Wanwan sent out a message, those who had dates, who were going home, or celebrating their cat’s birthday, all hurried back to work under the editor’s tyranny.

...

It was only after they arrived that the few whose weekends were ruined found out that Lu Wanwan’s so-called big scoop was just a bunch of empty talk, and they immediately threw cold water on her enthusiasm.

“Lu Wanwan, you are keen at work, which isn’t an issue, and I understand you newbies who just graduated and want to climb the ladder quickly,” said Chen from her team, seemingly patient but with a sting, “Last time, for Bai Lingyun’s piece, photos surfaced and we nearly got a complaint from the Ji Family. Now, with your baseless claims, I don’t believe them at all!”

“Chen, I assure you everything I said is true,” Lu Wanwan explained.

Chen, with arms crossed, yawned, “Our publication may have a bad reputation, but there’s a reason we haven’t been sued out of existence over the years; we don’t make stories up. Besides, even if Qiao Moran told you himself, it doesn’t mean it’s true. We might post it on our headline and he could announce his comeback immediately afterward, making us look foolish.”

Just as Lu Wanwan was about to speak, a mobile phone displaying the latest entertainment news was handed to her, “Look, so many reporters at Dijing Clubhouse yesterday, and the Ji family’s people were all photographed. If Qiao Moran was there, do you think he would have been overlooked?”

“Editor, so I have reason to believe that Qiao Moran wasn’t at Dijing Clubhouse at all yesterday. Maybe Xiaolu felt the pressure to make progress these past few days and believed some post he saw online,” she reasoned.

“I didn’t go online, I really saw Qiao Moran, I am a hundred percent sure of it!”

The editor, with a stern and penetrating look, swept his glance over those who were dissatisfied with working overtime, “Everyone’s in a hurry to go home and sleep, right?”

With a “swoosh,” a newspaper was flung onto the table.

“Look closely at what others are doing while you are sleeping at home. ‘Star Headlines’ has surpassed our sales this issue!”

Star Headlines, a rising small-scale publication, had quickly become the number one competitor to their Zui Entertainment, subtly vying to overtake them for the top spot in gossip and scandal.

The issue the editor slammed down was the latest, with the headline about the newly popular actress, Ling Xiaoxue, fighting with a mysterious woman.

Star Headlines featured a front-page photo of Ling Xiaoxue’s fierce expression during the brawl, destroying her carefully maintained pure and elegant image.

Frustrated by the exposé from Star Headlines, the editor said, “Qiao Moran is quitting showbiz, huh? Immediately work on the latest issue’s headline; we need to pull an all-nighter to get the piece out.”

The teammates, too intimidated to speak, looked at Lu Wanwan even more displeased.

All Lu Wanwan did was look at the fighting picture in Star Headlines. That mysterious woman fighting with Ling Xiaoxue, wasn’t she her best friend, Xu Yuan?

“Editor, I want to follow up on this Ling Xiaoxue news,” she said.
