Although Lee Do-Hyun had never openly admitted it, the chief editor already assumed that Zhu Hexuan was Lee Do-Hyun's girlfriend. The chief editor treated Zhu Hexuan politely and often, with high regards. Before this, as long as Zhu Hexuan did not do anything out of the line, the chief editor basically would not pay her any attention.

This was Zhu Hexuan's first real taste of power. She thought that this was probably what Jennie's felt in KTJ.

Zhu Hexuan stood up and handed over the pile of "materials" that she just organized to Hu Mingrui. "Take a look at these materials and come up with an article. I'll read through and see if it's good enough to be published. If it's good, I'll publish it under your name. You've been here for a while now, aren't you? It's time for you to come up with your own article. I've obtained the materials for you this time. Next time, you'll have to source for materials on your own."

Hu Mingrui was a new intern here. Zhu Hexuan had solidified her position here, and the chief editor wanted to ingratiate himself with her to maintain an amicable relationship and hence always thought of Zhu Hexuan first.

Zhu Hexuan was not yet qualified to mentor new interns based on her insufficient working experience, but the chief editor still assigned Hu Mingrui to her.

The memory of her forced resignation last time was still fresh on Zhu Hexuan's mind. Therefore, she was not taking any chances. Even if Jennie found out that Zhu Hexuan was the one behind all this, Zhu Hexuan would not give them any goods on her and hence purposely passed the responsibility to Hu Mingrui.

Hu Mingrui was flattered at the sudden attention given by Zhu Hexuan. Her circle of interns from different companies would often come together and share their intern experiences or gossip about their mentors.

She had heard stories of experienced reporters taking advantage of the rookies and robbed their articles, publishing them under their names.

It was a pleasant surprise to know that Zhu Hexuan did not do that and instead offered her a chance to write an article on her own. She even gave Hu Mingrui the materials she sourced herself.

Hu Mingrui scanned through the materials and asked, "Miss Zhu, what kind of theme are we basing this off?"

"What's the most important aspect of writing news? Capturing attention. We first need to capture the public's eye, enticing them to click on the link to find out more about the story with a wow-factor. There isn't anything very interesting about these few characters here, but it's a different story if Jennie is involved. Jennie has always been popular in the media because everyone wants to have something on her. She's lucky enough to slip through every time. Now, our audience isn't looking forward to reading a story about Cinderella, they're interested to read about how they used every dirty trick possible and discarded all moral principles to achieve their selfish goals — they want something to hate on. Understand?" Zhu Hexuan said.

Hu Mingrui nodded vigorously. "I know what to write now."

...

Lisa rescheduled all his evening appointments to the afternoon. He refused all drinks and buried his head into completing all his work in the entire afternoon. Slowly but surely, he completed all work before the end of the day.

When Jennie stepped out of her company, she was rather surprised at the absence of Lisa's car. However, she did not call him. If he was already on his way, she did not want to make it inconvenient for him to pick up her call. If he was still busy with work in the office, she did not want to rush him either.
