Chapter 902: You have to pay to see our editor-in-chief Zhang
"Old Zhang, it would be great if you were here. If you had helped me check, I would definitely not have caused so much trouble."
"You have advised me before not to accept these manuscripts. When you were here, you always insisted on not accepting plagiarized manuscripts."
"I couldn't figure it out at the time. I always felt that you were saying that because you were against me."
"I didn't expect you were helping me keep an eye on things. No wonder nothing ever happened when you were around."
"I really let myself go once you left. I used to think you were meddling in my business, but now I don't realize that you were doing that for my own good."
Wu Hongcai knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. Editor-in-Chief Zhang had been gone for several months. Now that he had successfully started his own business, he began to regret it.
It's like the child is starving to death and only then is there milk.
Wu Hongcai realized it too late and had to suffer the consequences.
He has been sued by so many people at once, and he is completely overwhelmed and doesn't know what to do.
He is now alone and has no one to discuss things with when he encounters problems, let alone anyone to help him out.
Wu Hongcai was not in a hurry to prepare evidence, nor did he think about how to solve the problem.
After he finished crying, he wiped away his tears and went to find Editor-in-Chief Zhang first.
Although he had known for a long time that Editor-in-Chief Zhang didn't want to pay attention to him and didn't have a good face for him, he just couldn't help but go find him.
This time when Wu Hongcai went there, Xiaomei stopped him at the door. No matter how Wu Hongcai tried to persuade her, she just wouldn't let him in.
"Xiao Mei, you used to be an employee of our magazine, and I was pretty nice to you. Please be kind and let me in."
"Wu Hongcai, you're not from our magazine, why should I let you in?"
"Although I was your employee, you were not nice to me at all. When I left, you even owed me wages."
"If you want me to help you pass the message, that's fine. Just pay me the half month's salary that you owe me, and we can discuss other things."
Xiaomei had a sarcastic smile on her face, and Wu Hongcai looked a little ugly.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out his wallet from his pocket.
He quickly calculated Xiaomei's salary in his mind and paid her on the spot.
"The money is all here. I have paid you all your wages now. Can you help pass it on for me?"
"Humph! This is the salary I should have received. This money belonged to me from the beginning."
"You took my money, and now you want me to help you with something, Wu Hongcai. Do you think this is such a good thing?"
Xiaomei made sarcastic remarks, and Wu Hongcai soon felt embarrassed.
"Then, what exactly do you want me to do to pass the message?"
Xiaomei gave him a look that said "you have to understand it yourself", and when she saw that Wu Hongcai didn't react, she reminded him again.
"Shouldn't you give some labor fees when you ask someone to do something for you?"
The reason why Xiaomei was so bold to make such a request was entirely because Editor-in-Chief Zhang had already told her in advance.
If Wu Hongcai came to find him, she would torture him for him.
It was her ability to get money from him, so she would be given as much as she got, which would be regarded as remuneration for her labor.
Xiaomei originally hated Wu Hongcai to the core, and now that she heard that she could get money for making things difficult for him, she naturally showed no mercy.
"Little sister, you, a receptionist, actually dare to openly accept benefits. Aren't you afraid that I will tell Editor-in-Chief Zhang about this and then he will fire you?"
"What's there to be afraid of? Why? You want to threaten me when you ask me to do something for you but you don't want to pay me?"
"Wu Hongcai, if you continue like this, I will have nothing to say to you. Please leave."
Xiaomei impatiently made a please gesture, and it seemed that she didn't want to talk to him at all.
Wu Hongcai was so angry that he stomped his feet again and had to take out his wallet.
He fumbled around in his wallet and took out a dollar and handed it over.
"This dollar is equivalent to your day's salary. Is this okay?"
Xiaomei threw the money directly to the ground and said disdainfully.
"You want me to help you pass the message for one dollar. Do you think you are sending away a beggar?"
"I don't care about this little money. You can find a way to go by yourself."
Xiaomei crossed her arms across her chest, acting extremely arrogant.
Wu Hongcai was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and he could only exchange one piece for five.
"Five dollars is enough for you to work for a week, is that okay?"
"5 dollars is too little, please ask someone else to go."
Xiaomei knew that this was her only chance to make money, so she refused to agree no matter what.
Wu Hongcai was so angry that he scratched his head, but there was nothing he could do.
"If 5 isn't enough, 10 will be fine, right?"
Wu Hongcai kept raising the price a little bit, and Xiaomei simply lost her patience.
"Wu Hongcai, do you know that the previous receptionist lost his job because of you?"
"When I resigned from your company, you still wanted to ban me from the industry. Do you know how much you went too far?"
"Don't look at me as young as I am now. I also have parents and children to take care of. Do you think I don't want to support my family?"
"When you treated me like this, didn't you ever think about asking me for something one day? Now that you're asking me for something, if I don't ask for more money, do you think I'm stupid?"
"Take these 5 or 10 yuan coins back as soon as possible. I don't like them anyway."
"If you really want to give it, then give me 50 yuan, and I will help you report it."
"If you really want to meet our editor-in-chief Zhang, just give me 100 yuan and I'll take you in right now. I guarantee you'll be able to meet him."
Xiaomei's tricks made Wu Hongcai stunned.
“Is there any difference between giving 50 yuan and giving 100 yuan?”
Wu Hongcai still felt a little bit uncomfortable, so he asked.
If it were the time when his magazine was doing great, he wouldn't have cared about this little bit of money.
"If you give me 50, I will only be responsible for the communication. I will not care whether we can meet or not. If you give me 100, I will take you directly in. You will definitely meet our editor-in-chief Zhang."
"Anyway, different prices mean different treatments. You decide for yourself."
Wu Hongcai was so angry after hearing these words that he suddenly had an evil idea in his mind.
He gave Xiaomei 100 yuan, and then he would sue her after meeting Editor-in-Chief Zhang, causing her to lose her job for such a small amount of money, and she would have no place to cry then.
Moreover, as a receptionist, her accepting bribes was an act that many people despised.
If she accepted the money from him, not only would she lose her current job, but no other place would want her in the future.
An employee like this with dirty hands and feet will be watched out for wherever she goes, so she can't even think of having a good job.
Wu Hongcai made up his mind and pretended to think painfully for a long time, then took out 100 yuan from his wallet.
"Okay, 100 yuan is 100 yuan. As long as you take me to see Editor-in-Chief Zhang, the 100 yuan will be yours."
