Zhang Moyan also understood that compared to her getting to Teacher Xiao first, Jin Xueyang's scowl was more because he thought she was stupid enough to engage in a power-for-sex transaction.

It was just that after talking it out, although Jin Xueyang said firmly that he would not be bribed by food, he actually became as warm and friendly to Zhang Moyan as before after a meal.

"Xueyang, please don't tell anyone at work about what happened between Teacher Xiao and me. Please keep it a secret for me, okay?" On the way back to the company, Zhang Moyan asked Jin Xueyang.

Jin Xueyang glanced at her from behind the steering wheel, "Do you even need to tell me that? Just looking at your plot, let alone others, even I feel like you're using your sex life for profit! What good things can anyone say? However," he changed his tone again, "it's not certain. Maybe Aunt Lu might like your transformation and change her stereotype of you!"

Zhang Moyan smiled and leaned back in her chair. "Why would I want her to like it? She's the editor-in-chief of the entertainment department. No matter how long her arms are, she can't control me."

The editor-in-chief Lu mentioned by Jin Xueyang is called Lu Jie. She is forty years old and unmarried. She is a well-known workaholic in the entire media and even the industry. She is in charge of the group's thriving entertainment and fashion sector and controls the elusive traffic password of the Internet world. Although she is not a female devil wearing Prada, she is also a glamorous and beautiful woman with an exquisite hairstyle who can broadcast the news at any time.

Not only did she demand that she pour all her passion and dedication into journalism, she also treated everyone under her equally. Even those in the entertainment department walked a couple of paces faster than the average person. Therefore, she despised Zhang Moyan, a young employee who didn't strive for breakthroughs and simply followed through on her work. As the cultural team's head writer, Zhang Moyan was often used as a negative example, often demonstrating the main reason the cultural team wasn't making progress.

Zhang Moyan only regards her job as a job to earn money to support herself, and she only wants to have a clear conscience in everything she does. She is completely different from Lu Jie, a woman who wants to realize her self-worth and create personal influence through work.

As the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together. She really doesn't need Editor-in-Chief Lu to like her.

"Moyan, don't speak so prematurely," Jin Xueyang said to Zhang Moyan in a mysterious tone, pressing the accelerator and steering the wheel. "During your absence, the structure of the department has undergone significant changes. The previously mentioned plan to merge the entertainment department with our culture department may actually become a reality."

Zhang Moyan was slightly surprised: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Our chairman's son, who studied philosophy at Yale, has returned from the US and is now working in the front lines. He's been given the title of director and is in charge of the entertainment and cultural teams. Our weekly meetings are now joint meetings with the entertainment team."

Jin Xueyang swerved left and turned the corner. "Our boss is retiring in two months. This young man's temporary position as director is just a short stint to gain experience. Once he's gone, it's unclear who will take over. So, isn't 'Entertainment as One Family' just around the corner?"

Zhang Moyan took a moment to digest the information. "You're saying... after our editor-in-chief retires, Lu Jie will become our leader?"

"Yes, with my keen judgment, things will definitely develop in this direction! So this time, our Aunt Lu was bullied by a young boy, not only was she not annoyed at all, but she also flattered him with great gusto."

"Oh my god!" Zhang Moyan raised her hand to cover her eyes, thinking of the dark situation she would soon face. Within seconds, she sat up straight again. "By the way, I was just wondering what the higher-ups' attitude is towards the interview with Teacher Xiao. Why haven't they given me any further instructions since I last discussed the interview time with the editor-in-chief?"

When Jin Xueyang heard this, he was conflicted for a moment, then he sighed, "Well, I can't hide it from you, so I might as well tell you so you can be mentally prepared."

Zhang Moyan felt something was amiss when she heard his words, and asked with a serious expression, "What's wrong? They don't take this interview seriously anymore?"

Jin Xueyang shook his head. "It's not that we don't care, it's that we care too much! So much so that they assigned Teacher Xiao's unit directly to the entertainment team to implement it. They even offered us the premiere of Wang Shuai, a rising star in Chinese comics."

wtf?!

Zhang Moyan was stunned, her mouth hanging open, her anger rising. "How can this be? We value this unit the most, the one we finally secured, so why should they take advantage of it?! I know that Chinese comic, "Please Come Out of the Mountain," right? But what about the big IP, Wang Shuai's work? One is creating something new from scratch, while the other is just adding icing on the cake. How can they be compared? We absolutely cannot give it to them! The editor-in-chief must not agree!"

Jin Xueyang remained silent. Zhang Moyan was secretly shocked and murmured in disbelief, "How could it be... Editor-in-Chief Li agreed?"

Jin Xueyang sighed, "This resource swap was proposed by our young master. We call it 'integrated business development' to enhance the two groups' understanding of each other's work. It sounds reasonable and positive. Who can say no to it?

Besides, our editor-in-chief is retiring in just over two months, and what he wants now is different from what we do. For him, getting the show done smoothly is more important than anything else, and he doesn't care who's in charge. The entertainment department has its advantages; they're unrivaled in the company when it comes to hype. Giving them this unit will significantly boost the program's visibility.

Aunt Lu also attaches great importance to Xiao Xingyu's interview. Many people in the company have complained about your long business trip to Ruzhou, but she defended you wholeheartedly.

Zhang Moyan said disdainfully: "I'm afraid she wants to make sure I get the results!"

Zhang Moyan felt like there was a huge stone blocking her heart and was speechless for a long time. She didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, she was actually making wedding dresses for others.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at the company. It was still five minutes before 1 p.m., but the office was already empty; everyone had already left for the conference room. This unusual atmosphere gave Zhang Moyan a sense of excitement.

Zhang Moyan and Jin Xueyang hurriedly grabbed their notebooks and pens and headed for the conference room. Suddenly, a fellow editor came running over and stopped Jin Xueyang. "Jin, I'm looking for you! There's something wrong with the film you submitted yesterday. Come over and take a look! It's going to be released today!"

Jin Xueyang was a little embarrassed: "But I'm in a meeting now. Can I come find you after the meeting?"

The editor came up and pushed him away: "I've already told your boss, he asked you to take care of my case first. Come on, come on, it won't take long!"

Jin Xueyang had no choice but to turn around and say to Zhang Moyan, "Moyan, you go to the meeting room first. I'll take care of things here and then I'll be there! Remember, listen more and talk less!"
