Chapter 576: Someone got there first
When Xiaomei saw Editor-in-Chief Zhang coming out with something in his arms, she immediately called him.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, didn't you come to work today? Why did you take the things away?"
"The magazine can't do without you, so don't just leave on impulse!"
Xiaomei said this reluctantly in order to have a stable job.
Of course, this is also the truth. Xiaomei has always felt that Editor-in-Chief Zhang is a very talented person, and it would be a great disservice to him to keep him in the magazine.
Now that she saw him leaving, she felt both reluctant and somewhat relieved.
"Xiao Mei, Boss Wu and I have different ideas. Even if you force me to stay here, I won't be happy."
"In order to pursue my own dreams, I have decided to leave now, and it will be impossible for me to come back later."
Xiaomei was a little confused after hearing what he said, and she asked in a daze.
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang, are you going to join another magazine? What ideals are you pursuing? Can you tell me about it?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang was silent for a moment, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he spoke.
“I’m going to start my own business and do what I want to do.”
"I want to be my own boss in the future, make my own decisions, and never have to depend on others."
Xiaomei was extremely surprised to hear this, but after she came to her senses, she chose to give her blessing.
"Congratulations to Editor-in-Chief Zhang for finally being able to do what you love."
"Editor-in-Chief Zhang is so talented, you will succeed no matter what you do."
Xiaomei gave Editor-in-Chief Zhang her most sincere blessings, and then asked about some specific details.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang knew Xiaomei's character and had no secrets from her, answering almost every question she asked.
After finishing the small talk, Editor-in-Chief Zhang had to attend to some serious business. He said goodbye to Xiaomei, turned around and left.
Xiaomei stared blankly at his departing back. Editor-in-Chief Zhang was already pursuing his dream, while she was still doing a meaningless job and might even be fired at any time.
The difference between the two is too great, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang is destined to be a man she will never be able to catch up with.
Xiaomei sighed softly, and when she looked up, she saw Boss Wu sitting at the stairs, looking at her grimly.
Xiaomei was startled. She didn't know when Boss Wu appeared, nor how long he had been standing there eavesdropping.
The only thing she knew was that Boss Wu had heard about Editor-in-Chief Zhang's entrepreneurial venture. With a petty mind like that, would he take the opportunity to take revenge?
After returning home, Editor-in-Chief Zhang immediately wrote letters to several authors he was familiar with, proactively asking them to write articles.
Writing letters is not that fast and I cannot reply in a short time, but Editor-in-Chief Zhang doesn’t have anything important to do right now, so he is not in a hurry.
Because it was their first venture and their magazine had just been established, mature authors would hardly submit their articles to them before seeing results.
So in order to avoid gaps in the first printing, Editor-in-Chief Zhang decided to write the manuscript himself.
He just didn't believe that with his own ability, it was impossible for him to not be able to collect all the manuscripts for the first issue of the journal.
If this is true, it would be a fatal blow to him.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang is a proud man and he would not allow such a thing to happen.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of this entrepreneurial venture, he devoted all his energy to writing.
Jiang Wan had similar ideas as him and also considered this issue seriously after returning.
She was also worried that the first publication would not go smoothly, so she collected all the manuscripts she had written before.
In addition to these manuscripts, she also devoted herself to creative work in the next few days.
Shen Changping and Yun Zhilan saw that she was working so hard that no one dared to disturb her.
They brought their children downstairs to play every day, for fear of accidentally disturbing her.
They play games with their two little grandsons every day and make them happy.
When his eldest grandson comes back from school, Shen Changping will take the initiative to take him to his room to help him with his homework.
The couple put all the love they had previously lacked for their son into their grandchildren.
Fortunately, the grandchildren at home are all well-behaved and obedient, and even the two little ones don’t seem annoying at all.
Yun Zhilan didn’t like taking care of children before, but now she is getting more and more excited about it.
She found that really wanting to take care of a child and being forced to take care of a child were two completely different feelings.
Now she was very sure that she was willing to do this, so no matter how hard or tiring it was, she would not be impatient at all.
The 7 days passed in a flash, and soon it was time for the owner of the house to return.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang got up early in the morning and set off in a hurry after breakfast.
He didn't even have time to notify Jiang Wan, so he went to the boss's house alone and knocked on the door again.
The person who opened the door this time was still the same grandma from last time. She still had some impression of him when she saw him coming.
"Are you here to look for my son? My son came back yesterday."
The old lady took the initiative and said what Editor-in-Chief Zhang wanted to hear most.
Editor-in-Chief Zhang was delighted when he heard this. He was about to be happy when the old lady added another sentence.
"As soon as my son came back yesterday, someone came to our house."
When Editor-in-Chief Zhang heard this, he felt something was wrong.
"Grandma, did your son come back yesterday? Has anyone else come to your house during this period?"
The old lady thought about it seriously, then nodded and shook her head.
She seemed not to understand what Editor-in-Chief Zhang meant, so she opened the door and invited him in.
"My son is at home now. What do you want to talk to him about? Why don't you come in and talk first?"
Editor-in-Chief Zhang couldn't wait to come in and learn about the details.
Now that he was invited by the old lady, he immediately took the initiative to walk in.
"Thank you grandma, thank you grandma."
After Editor-in-Chief Zhang came in, he waited for a while before the boss came down from upstairs.
When Editor-in-Chief Zhang saw the boss coming, he immediately stood up and prepared to talk to him.
"Hello, boss. I heard that you have a building that you want to sell? I'm planning to come..."
Before Editor Zhang could finish his words, the boss immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture to stop him.
"Someone found me yesterday and said he wanted the building, so I can't talk to you about it for now."
As soon as the boss said this, Editor-in-Chief Zhang was completely stunned.
He clearly came early enough, so why was he still a step late in the end?
He couldn't accept this fact and immediately staggered back two steps.
"I came here right after you got back, so why am I still late?"
"Sir, some things still depend on fate. Maybe we don't have enough fate, so this happened."
"Since we are not destined to be together, and this matter cannot be forced, let's just leave it like this for now. How about you go back now?"
The boss has already ordered him to leave, and Editor-in-Chief Zhang is suddenly confused, not knowing whether he should leave or stay.
