He Lin opened her mouth to refute, but found that she had no valid reason at all.
She could only look to her father-in-law.
Mr. Shen's expression was not much better at this moment.
Although he felt extremely embarrassed, how could a deputy commander ask someone to intercede for him in front of everyone?
If that got out, it would truly become a joke.
At this point, Mr. Shen could only feign magnanimity and understanding, saying, "Alright, Xiaolin, since it's the newspaper's rule, we should abide by it."
"You were wrong just now. You should apologize to your comrades right away and don't do that again."
What?
Do I still need to apologize?
He Lin felt incredibly frustrated.
Ever since she married into the Shen family, others have always fawned over her. When has she ever suffered such humiliation?
But after her father-in-law spoke, her mother-in-law kept giving her meaningful glances.
He Lin could only swallow back all her grievances and resentment.
This little incident finally came to an end with He Lin's reluctant apology.
Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Tinghuai didn't linger with them.
He led the group directly into the heart of the newspaper office.
This was Jiang Si's first time entering the National Daily, so she was naturally curious. Seeing this, Huo Tinghuai gave her a thorough introduction.
Shen Dong lagged a few steps behind the three of them.
Seeing Huo Tinghuai's attentive and considerate manner towards Jiang Si and her husband, and then comparing it with the neglect he was currently experiencing, Shen Dong's eyes were filled with malice.
As they were talking, the group went up to the interview building.
Afterwards, the two were led to different meeting rooms.
The print journalists, photographers, and column editors are all in place.
Upon seeing Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou enter, the group stood up and greeted them.
"Comrade Jiang, Commander Huo, hello."
"Hello everyone, thank you for your hard work today," Jiang Si replied gracefully.
After a few pleasantries, the interview officially began.
With her previous interview experience and thorough preparation, the interview went very smoothly.
Although Huo Tingzhou didn't say much, every word he uttered was met with a response.
When he talked about his family and two children, the warm and understanding exchange between him and Jiang Si touched everyone present.
The happiest person at this moment was the photographer, who hadn't encountered such an evenly matched pair of faces in a long time!
It's truly beautiful from every angle; every shot looks good.
In contrast to the harmonious atmosphere in this conference room, the interview with Shen Dong in another conference room fell into an awkward silence from the very beginning.
The questions were all prepared in advance.
Most of the posts focus on the design concepts and innovative aspects of this international hotel.
And what new technologies were used in this process, including what bold attempts were made in the design aspect.
But Shen Dong either beats around the bush with technical jargon or gives ambiguous answers.
Even when it came to questions about design inspiration, there were obvious pauses and hesitations.
The print reporter tried to guide the conversation several times, but with little effect.
Unfortunately, after communicating with their supervisors, they had to temporarily adjust their strategy and remove some overly complex issues.
Even so, Shen Dong's answers always missed the mark.
The interview, which was originally planned to last two and a half hours, ended because the other party could only provide a very limited number of effective answers.
In the end, both sides fell silent, and the meeting had to end abruptly.
Shen Dongren is gone, but they still have to clean up the mess he left behind.
As soon as they stepped out of the conference room, the people in charge of the interview looked at each other for a moment, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
At this point, Jiang Si's interview was nearing its end.
I glanced at the time; it was only a little past 11:30.
Jiang Si was in a good mood and said to Huo Tinghuai, "I said I would treat you to dinner last time, but I haven't found the opportunity yet. How about we have dinner together today?"
Huo Tinghuai checked the afternoon's schedule and, after confirming that there was nothing important,...
He smiled and nodded slightly: "Alright, then I'll respectfully comply."
The group left the meeting room while talking; it was almost time to get off work.
Just as I reached the top of the stairs, I ran into another interview team.
Although Huo Tinghuai took over the work of Chief Editor Wen, the specific interview content was still handled by other teams, and he was only responsible for the final proofreading of the manuscript.
Seeing the melancholy looks on their faces, he casually asked a question.
"Sister Li, what happened?"
"Ugh, don't even mention it."
The journalist, known as Sister Li, sighed, "I'm worried about how I'm going to write this article when I get back."
Huo Tinghuai didn't quite understand at first. "Didn't we already prepare an outline and even draft the headlines for the news?"
"Yes, but none of them are needed."
With a troubled expression, Sister Li said, "I prepared more than fifty questions, but he only answered less than half of them, and they were all invalid answers."
"When asked for specific details, he just recites concepts from the book; when asked about design inspiration, he stammers for ages. I really can't write this draft!"
Normally, Editor Wang, the supervisor, would definitely say something after hearing this.
Even if you can't write it, you have to bite the bullet and write it, otherwise what can you do?
But after watching the entire interview today, he simply couldn't bring himself to say those words.
The photographer, however, was outspoken and muttered something in front of everyone.
"To be frank, I feel that Comrade Shen knows less about this winning bid than we did beforehand."
When this was said, everyone just laughed and didn't comment.
Jiang Si listened thoughtfully.
Before she could even sort things out, the group had already arrived at the newspaper office.
Just then, a few people hurried towards us.
Upon seeing the person in the lead, Huo Tinghuai greeted him, "President."
Jiang Si and Huo Tingzhou greeted them politely upon seeing this.
The president nodded.
Just as the group was about to take their leave, the club president suddenly called out to Huo Tinghuai, "Tinghuai, wait a moment—"
[My little ones, today is the last day of August, and my little monster is starting school tomorrow.]
I spent the afternoon playing with her and then had dinner with her. By the time we got back, it was already quite late.
There are 600 words short of two chapters, so I won't split them into chapters. I'm taking a day off today, and will update normally tomorrow.
The design plan will be written tomorrow, so please don't worry.
Finally, wishing all the readers a happy new moon and a bright future, with everything going smoothly! Love you all!
