Chapter 16 The Exclusive Interview
Chapter 16 The Exclusive Interview
Shirley’s scandal became the hot search for several days, followed by the termination contract with her company and commercial partners. The Green-light Magazine had also become popular because of this interview. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The editor-in-chief couldn't help but to praise Elena and Sophia, "This month's bonus will belong to our Group two because of your help. People in the Group one always pride themselves on being veterans!"
Sophia nodded approvingly, "Exactly. They also deliberately said that our performance was poor and tried to get us to clean the toilets! But this time we have proved ourselves!"
Elena didn't know much about the conflicts between Group one and Group two. But it just sounded like there was already a lot of resentment. She sighed secretly, just hoping she wouldn't be involved.
As they entered the conference room, they immediately felt hatred from Group one. Elena silently followed behind, trying desperately to minimize her presence.
James glanced at Group one and Group two, and cleared his throat, "Come on, don't make the meeting a battle full of resentment. We're all colleagues. Calm down and take it easy."
Hearing this, the Group one reluctantly withdrew their gaze, but still couldn't help complaining, "Chief editor, Group two just took the opportunity to hype it up. Although our magazine has got a lot more attention, there are also more negative impacts!"
"What do you guys mean by that? Do you mean we should got slapped for nothing and have to make amends to Shirley!" Sophia protested with discontent.
The editor-in-chief of Group one rolled eyes, "So you chose to go against Masaharu?"
Masaharu was Shirley's brokerage firm and had been all the rage for a few years. This time, they must have offended this company because of Shirley.
"That's enough. If you continue to quarrel, just pack up and get out of here right now!" James said bluntly, and his face was already tinged with anger.
They knew they shouldn’t speak out of turn, and all stopped talking.
James tapped on the table, "There are indeed pros and cons to this incident, but we had better let bygones be bygones. Sophia is right that our staff can’t be bullied easily. So don't blame me for being rude if anyone brings it up again!" James might be easygoing, but no one dared to disobey him. They all lowered their heads without saying a word.
"Our magazine is in the limelight now, so we should ride it out next. We want to interview two influential businessmen, but it's not easy to get an appointment. You two groups can work separately, and each group will be responsible for one person."
James narrowed his eyes and stared at Sophia, "I heard you're a fan of Logan, so you should know more about him. Then Group two is going to be responsible for Logan, and Group one for Daisy."
As soon as he finished speaking, they all gasped. Logan and Daisy were the most difficult people to contact in the business world. They were known for not easily accepting interviews.
"Chief editor, it’s a bit difficult. Can we interview others?" Coral, the leader of Group two, was a little worried.
"What? Group two started to be afraid before you even set off?" Aria of the Group one mocked.
Coral glared at her and James gave the final word, "Alright, try your best to strive for it. It’s time for us to build our brand now. The succeeding team will get a raise!"
Hearing Chief editor’s words, no one had any objection. People of Group one were full of excitement and all set about preparing, while Group two, on the contrary, all looked deflated.
Elena pursed her lips, "What's going on here? Is Logan... scary?"
"Of course!" Sophia was the first to say, "He used to be easygoing, but as you know, he had an accident and became eccentric and changeable after that. Our magazine contacted him before, but couldn't even get pasted by his assistant. Besides, Logan has been living in seclusion for the past few years, so it's really hard!"
Elena thought it over. It seemed that Logan really disliked being outside, and stayed at home all the time, and even official business was handled in the study.
But none of that was to the point. The important thing was she just found out a secret, "Sophia, so Logan is your idol?"
Sophia blushed, "You don't know. Back then Logan was simply the dream of all women in the whole H City. It's a pity that he had an accident. We could do nothing but to feel sorry for him."
"Perhaps the last thing he wanted is compassion." Elena muttered.
"What?"
"Nothing." She wore a smile again and shook her head as she left the conference room.
Coral looked serious, "I also know this is difficult. but at least for the sake of our Group two’s reputation, we still have to fight for it. You two should help each other more, and I'll tell you first if I can get in touch with Mr. Brown's assistant."
Sophia had a mixture of joy and sadness in her heart, "Alas, I'm so nervous thinking about meeting my idol, but before that, it’s all about whether I can meet him or not!"
"Go for it." Elena said weakly.
"Eh, by the way, I heard my idol even got married. I just don't know who's so lucky."
Uh... Elena wisely kept her mouth shut. Although the previous wedding had been grand, the identity of Mrs. Brown was a mystery to most people.
Sophia was still chattering, but Elena was distracted by something else. She seemed to owe Logan an explanation...
Back inside the villa, Logan had stayed in the study and hadn't come out, seemingly in a transatlantic meeting. Jacob, guarding outside the study, saw Elena, "Madame."
"Jacob, let me ask you a question. Is it true that Logan doesn't do interviews with any magazines?" Elena spoke hesitantly.
Jacob paused, guessing roughly what was going on, "Not really, it's all up to Mr. Logan's own decision."
"And what would it take to get him to agree to an interview?" Elena blurted out, only to realize she was a bit hasty, and added, "Well, I was just asking, and didn’t mean anything else."
Jacob smiled, "You can ask Mr. Logan personally, and he should give you a satisfactory answer."
At this moment, the closed door of the study was suddenly pulled open and Logan had a cold face, "What are you two doing standing here?"
"Madame and I were talking about the interview." Before she could stop it, Jacob immediately betrayed her.
Elena covered her face and almost fainted. After a long time, she put down her hand and smiled, "Mr. Brown, our magazine sincerely invites you to do an interview. I wonder if you would like to agree."
