The little salamander's clear eyes were like a mirror, reflecting Han Qin's ugliness.
Han Qin was speechless. She didn't dare to look Xiao Niu in the eye for a moment and subconsciously turned her head away. Thinking that she had been intimidated by a newcomer, Han Qin turned her head again with anger:
"I did post it, but what does this have to do with your job? Do you really want to be a proofreader forever? You're still so young, why don't you care about your future?"
People lose their rationality when they are angry. Han Qin originally planned to play the emotional card with Xiao Niu, but now it has turned into a threat.
Little Salamander murmured, "So you really did post this, this is wrong."
In the adult world, there is no right or wrong, only interests?
That's not the case.
No matter what world it is, there is a distinction between right and wrong, but some people care and some don’t.
“There’s nothing wrong with proofreading and editing.”
Xiao Niu bowed to Han Qin and turned back to his workstation.
A vicious gleam flashed in Han Qin's eyes. Before she could figure out how to deal with Xiao Niu, Xiao Niu's resignation letter appeared on the boss's desk.
Little Salamander quit his job!
Xiao Niu was disappointed that she couldn't cooperate with Han Qin against her will, couldn't continue to work with Han Qin, and even the magazine's attitude towards handling the matter made her feel disappointed. Not to mention Han Qin transferring her back to continue being a review editor, even if Han Qin gave up the position of editor-in-chief to Xiao Niu, she didn't want to stay.
The little salamander worked hard to get into the magazine, but actually gave up.
Han Qin looked at the resignation report and realized that she might have gone too far.
"She refused a good job just because she said she didn't want it. She must have been bribed by the people in Rongcheng!"
The little salamander is a key witness.
Han Qin panicked and called a lawyer friend, who consoled her, saying, "If she really did work for the Rongcheng Publishing Group, then she would have a vested interest in the plaintiff, and the court wouldn't accept her testimony."
In a lawsuit, one is not afraid of the opponent having evidence, but is afraid of not knowing what evidence the opponent has. Han Qin's lawyer friend thinks that Xiao Niu's resignation is a good thing. If Xiao Niu goes to court to testify in the identity of "Aige" editor, it will be very disadvantageous to Han Qin!
"Regardless of whether she was bribed or not, the young person lost patience and resigned first, exposing themselves."
These words made Han Qin feel at ease.
Xiao Niu's resignation made Han Qin very passive, and her colleagues in the editorial department talked more about her. Han Qin had a good psychological quality, and she continued to go to work with her head held high every day, ignoring her colleagues' comments.
A friend analyzed the situation for Han Qin. Since Chengdu had sued the magazine as well, the magazine and Han Qin were now tied together. If Han Qin lost the lawsuit, the magazine would also lose the lawsuit. In order to avoid this situation, the magazine must make an effort.
My lawyer friend was right, and the magazine quickly fought back.
Xiao Niu clearly resigned voluntarily, but the magazine characterized his departure as dismissal, on the grounds that he had violated rules and regulations at work and made serious mistakes. Han Qin went through all of Xiao Niu's work chat records on QQ and finally found "evidence" of Xiao Niu's violations in a corner.
It turned out that Xiao Niu had once received a bag of ginseng tea mailed by a magazine author.
When editors and authors have been in contact for a long time, they are sometimes like friends. It is normal for friends to mail each other some local specialties. Xiao Niu received ginseng tea mailed by the author because the author always felt tired after staying up late to write for a while. After Xiao Niu knew about it, he sent some donkey-hide gelatin cakes to the author.
The author first accepted the donkey-hide gelatin cake and then gave ginseng tea in return. It was a normal exchange of gifts, but Han Qin dug it up and turned it into bribery.
It is not allowed in any magazine for editors to ask authors for expensive gifts!
A pot was put on the little salamander's head, and Han Qin thought the little salamander would make a fuss.
As a result, Xiao Niu said nothing, packed up his personal belongings and never came to the editorial office again.
…
Zheng Zhihe had been keeping an eye on the developments of Aige, and he soon learned that Xiao Niu had been fired.
"That's roughly what happened. I actually didn't think of asking your former editor to be a witness. Now that your editor has been fired for soliciting bribes, her professional ethics will be questioned. Asking her to be a witness is unnecessary—it would only implicate your editor."
Although Zheng Zhihe's tone didn't reveal much emotion, he was actually quite angry.
At the magazine, the same tactics were used on a new author like Wen Ying and a new editor like Xiao Niu.
Putting a pot of shit on someone's head will ruin the newcomer's future.
Authors need reputation, and editors also need word of mouth.
How can Xiao Niu find a job in the industry if he is fired for this reason?
Zou Weijun immediately expressed his position, saying that he would be responsible for the work of the little salamander.
"Even if we don't ask Xiao Niu to be a witness, she deserves a job based on her professional abilities!"
Xiao Niu was fired from the magazine for this reason. There is only one possible reason, that is, he refused to go along with Han Qin!
There are many capable editors, but editors who are both capable and have professional ethics are even more valuable.
It doesn't matter where you work as an editor. "Aige" doesn't want Xiaoniu. As long as Xiaoniu is willing to come to Chengdu to work, Zou Weijun can recommend Xiaoniu.
The publishing department really needs talents like Xiao Niu who have both academic qualifications and business capabilities.
——I never thought of asking Xiao Niu to testify in court. Since he won’t testify, finding a job for him doesn’t count as an exchange of interests.
Wen Ying was also very angry.
Maybe it was a professional habit from her previous life, the angrier she got, the calmer she became.
"Aunt Zou, I know what you mean. You're definitely doing this for Xiao Niu's own good, wanting to help her, but this isn't how true help should be. Xiao Niu isn't someone who would ask for bribes from the author. Regardless of whether she testifies for me or not, once she accepts the job you assign her, she'll be in trouble. Recommending a new job is secondary; what's more important is Xiao Niu's reputation!"
