Chapter 903 I Must Protect Them

Wu Hongcai took out 100 yuan, cashed it and prepared to take it back.

Xiaomei took the money and stuffed it into her pocket.

"If I want you to do something, of course I should pay you first."

"Who will take you in if you don't pay? After all, you don't have much credibility."

"You tricked me when I was leaving. Do you think I'll fall for it this time?"

Wu Hongcai stared at Xiaomei's actions in amazement. He was so angry that he was about to die, but he still had to force a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the money first. We're old acquaintances now, are you afraid that I'll run away?"

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're just petty and mean. No wonder you can't accomplish anything big."

Wu Hongcai had already begged Xiaomei to do something for him but still had this attitude. His few words annoyed her again.

As soon as Xiaomei made a face, Wu Hongcai quickly took out his wallet and gave her 100 yuan with great heartache.

Xiaomei took it without hesitation and put it in her pocket.

"Let's go, I'll take you there now."

Wu Hongcai was about to get angry, but after hearing this, his expression softened a little.

He followed Xiaomei to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's office.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang usually works with everyone and rarely goes to his own private office.

Strictly speaking, this office is not his private one, but a separate meeting room.

This reception room is rarely used and is only used when important guests come.

Wu Hongcai is not an important guest, but in order to trick him this time, we still have to create an environment that will easily make him go crazy.

When Xiaomei brought Wu Hongcai over, Editor-in-Chief Zhang was working in the office.

When he saw someone coming in, his face immediately frowned.

"Xiaomei, how many times have I told you not to bring irrelevant people here when I'm working."

This was something they had discussed in advance in order to stage a show to deceive Wu Hongcai.

Otherwise, if Xiaomei brought the person here just for 100 yuan, Wu Hongcai would definitely be unhappy.

But now that Editor-in-Chief Zhang has scolded him like this, Wu Hongcai will feel that the money is worth it.

Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and stepped aside, looking a little embarrassed.

"It was Wu Hongcai who insisted on coming in to see you. I had no choice but to bring him here."

"Anyway, I've brought the person to you. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, you little Mei, don't you know that Wu Hongcai and I don't get along? No matter who you bring here, don't bring him! Aren't you embarrassing me?"

"Just wait, this matter will not be let go like this, you will be punished for this!"

Editor-in-Chief Zhang put down the manuscript in his hand with a bang.

Wu Hongcai was startled at first, then a bright smile appeared on his face.

Although Xiaomei brought him here, he still felt unhappy.

Especially when he thought about the more than 100 yuan he gave away for no reason, he was even more furious.

"This Xiaomei not only brought people in casually, but she also extorted more than a hundred dollars from me when she brought me in. You must punish her severely!"

Wu Hongcai thought he was the boss and even wanted to instruct Editor-in-Chief Zhang on his work.

"Shut up, Xiaomei is the receptionist of our magazine after all, it's not your turn to interfere in her affairs."

"And Wu Hongcai, after all these years, you still can't change your bad habits at all."

"Xiao Mei was kind enough to help you because you were her former boss, but she didn't expect you to stab her in the back."

"You did such an immoral thing, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"If Xiaomei knew you were this kind of person, she would definitely regret helping you!"

After Editor-in-Chief Zhang's lecture, Wu Hongcai's face had already turned ugly.

He originally wanted to defend himself, but after thinking it over, he shut his mouth.

After all, he was in the wrong in this matter, and in the end he could only adjust his mood and put on a smile.

"It's my fault, it's my fault, I shouldn't have said that."

"The little beauty is very good. She really helped me a lot this time. I shouldn't say that about her."

Only after Wu Hongcai admitted his mistake did Editor-in-Chief Zhang's expression ease a little.

He looked at him lazily and asked rudely.

"Wu Hongcai, tell me, what is your purpose in looking for me this time?"

Wu Hongcai opened his mouth and wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Wu Hongcai, my time and patience are limited. If you have anything to say, just say it now. Don't waste my time by hesitating."

"If you keep going like this, I won't give you any chances. You can do whatever you want."

Editor-in-Chief Zhang had already issued an ultimatum, so Wu Hongcai did not dare to delay any further.

"It's like this. Our magazine used some manuscripts from people we know before, but we didn't expect those ungrateful people to plagiarize other people's manuscripts."

"Now a lot of people are looking for trouble with me. I am so overwhelmed that I don't know what to do."

"You were the one who handled these problems before. Can you teach me now what I should do when I encounter something like this?"

Even at this point, Wu Hongcai was still full of lies and unwilling to tell the truth.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang already knew about the current situation of their magazine, but he still did not expose his lie, but just said it impatiently.

"You should just cut off ties with them and push them out to deal with the problem themselves."

"They are the ones who plagiarized. The most you can be accused of is not a strict reviewer."

"You come to me now to ask these questions, are you trying to take the responsibility on yourself?"

"You see that they are your relatives and friends, so you can't bear to push them out to suffer."

"But have you ever thought about how much you will have to pay if you do this? Given the current situation of your magazine, can you afford it?"

Although Editor-in-Chief Zhang has always wanted to bring down Wu Hongcai, he still wanted to talk reason with him when Wu Hongcai came to him for help.

I tell him these truths not because it is for his own good, but because I know he won't listen.

In this way, if something happens later, you have fulfilled your responsibility to remind others.

Even if Wu Hongcai wants to blame someone, it cannot be him. When the time comes, the evidence will be presented to him. Wu Hongcai will be really heartbroken when he sees how much he has paid for these ungrateful people.

Editor-in-Chief Zhang felt extremely happy thinking about this. He kept sneering in his heart but remained calm on the surface.

The more earnestly he persuaded Wu Hongcai, the more determined he became.

"Don't say that. They are all my relatives and friends. Now that something has happened, I will never give up on them no matter what."

"If I really did that, I wouldn't know how people would poke me in the back when I return home."

"So no matter what you say, I will protect them, but please tell me, how can I protect them to the greatest extent? And also reduce my losses?"
