Chapter 21 A Quick Slap in the Face
After Sheng Rong hung up the phone, Chu Yao asked, "Are you also going to be interviewed by New Horizons?"
Sheng Rong hummed, "The Publicity Department said that New Horizons is the most influential media outlet in Fengpu right now, and there's the possibility of advertising cooperation in the future, so they asked me to give them an exclusive deal."
Chu Yao didn't say anything, but her smile seemed a little forced.
Sheng Rong noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Yao spoke frankly, "My previous employer was New Horizon. My boss was disgusted by my childbearing age and forced me out by reducing my salary and job position. He's unwilling to pay compensation and is currently in the process of a lawsuit."
Sheng Rong smiled knowingly and picked up his phone: "Isn't it time for me to repay my gratitude? I'll ask the front desk to notify him to go back."
Chu Yao said magnanimously: "No need. I won't bring so many personal grudges into work."
Sheng Rong was just about to feel admiration for her when she said, "You gave him worthless, ordinary information. Let me do exclusive, in-depth reporting. By then, our account with 25,000 followers will be more professional than theirs with 4 million followers. I'll make them the laughing stock of their peers and piss them off to death."
Sheng Rong suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay."
She hasn't changed over the years, just like a sunflower. The front is a little sun shining on the people around her, but the back is wilted and ugly.
They both work first.
After talking about work, Sheng Rong remembered something and quickly explained it to her.
When he went abroad, he changed his phone number to a foreign one. His old phone fell into water and became unusable, so he had no choice but to change to a new one.
Many accounts applied for in China require a mobile phone number to log in, and he can't log in.
Later, I gradually forgot my account password, which led to the loss of contact for so many years.
They added their contact information again.
Sheng Rong sent her his current address: "Come to my house for dinner tonight. My parents miss you too."
Chu Yao nodded: "Okay."
Before leaving, Sheng Rong asked her for Qin Jiahuai's number.
Chu Yao also gave it to him. As for what happened between her and Qin Jiahuai, she didn't say much.

After the interview, Chu Yao planned to go back to the company to write the article.
As I got out of the elevator, an old acquaintance came towards me.
Zou Jie.
He still had his New Horizons work ID card hanging on his chest.
So he ran over there. What a small world it is.
Chu Yao had no intention of paying attention to him.
Unexpectedly, Zou Jie came over and mocked her: "Chu Yao, your half-dead little newspaper is also interested in this new technology? Do your audience understand it?"
He got even crazier.
Chu Yao raised her hand and scratched her head.
In fact, she was covering her face to prevent him from seeing the corners of her mouth that she couldn't suppress.
Seeing that she ignored him, Zou Jie thought she was inferior.
He also thought about when he resigned from the daily newspaper and Chu Yao openly mentioned his high school days in front of his colleagues.
As dejected and dusty as he was when he left that day, as happy and exhilarated he felt inside now.
The way he looked at Chu Yao was as if he was looking at a complete loser.
"Actually, I was really envious of you at first. You were able to join a large company with huge development potential right after graduation. Meanwhile, I could only retire to a small newspaper company. Who could have thought that things would turn around? I'm on the rise now, and you..."
Zou Jie paused and glanced at her with contempt.
"Mr. Fang is right, Chu Yao, you are no longer suitable for the workplace at your age. Go home and have children."
Chu Yao finally understood.
Zou Jie actually followed Fang Xiang to New Horizons.
These two gossipy guys had nothing to do every day, so they would tease her in the office.
She smiled at him and said, "Fang Xiang and you have a very good aura because he used to steal my work all the time. You also stole class funds back then. You two are a thief in cahoots."
Zou Jie's face turned pale.
He did steal money when he was a child, but he didn't think he was to blame. He was a left-behind child at the time and he was quite pitiful.
Chu Yao actually kept talking about the mistakes he made when he was young and ignorant!
But he was not the kind of person who would swallow his anger. He suddenly unscrewed the mineral water in his hand and poured it over Chu Yao's head!
Chu Yao shrank her neck due to the shock of the cold water.
There were people passing by, all looking at this scene in surprise.
However, there are many people who like to watch the show in this kind of enterprise, but most of them think it is none of their business and they don’t interfere, so no one comes to say anything.
Zou Jie held his head high and walked away with a swagger.
Chu Yao was silent for a while, took out a tissue, wiped the water stains on her face, and called Sheng Rong.
"I suddenly remembered that I forgot to ask you one thing."
Sheng Rong immediately said, "Then come up quickly."
Chu Yao took the elevator up again.
When I arrived, I just heard Zou Jie say to Sheng Rong: "We used to be classmates..."
Sheng Rong's attitude was distant but polite: "Really? I don't remember."
He raised his eyes and saw Chu Yao again. He stood up and went out to greet her: "What do you want to tell me? Why is your hair wet?"
"It's okay." She didn't complain, but simply said, "I occasionally face retaliation when investigating cases. I'm afraid they might try to pick my door lock, so I wanted to ask if your group has any recommendations for highly secure smart door locks."
Sheng Rong suddenly thought that in those very real dreams, he was still a bad guy who took money to stuff things into the door lock of Chu Yao's house.
He felt a little ashamed and immediately said, "I'll change it for you. I'll change it to the safest lock. If someone touches it carelessly, it will discharge electricity."
Chu Yao nodded: "Thank you."
Sheng Rong smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? I'll also replace the surveillance cameras and alarms in your home with the safest ones."
Zou Jie, who was standing aside, was restless and felt very tormented.
He almost forgot that Sheng Rong and Chu Yao had a good relationship in high school.
Chu Yao will definitely complain now.
But he waited for a long time and Chu Yao never complained.
The two of them were just chatting!
Zou Jie was afraid that Chu Yao would complain at first, but later he expected Chu Yao to complain as soon as possible.
Whatever you want, give him a quick death!
But they were just talking and laughing over there, and it felt like a blunt knife cutting his flesh!
Zou Jie can't leave like this now because he has just entered New Horizons and is still in the internship period.
This is also the first news of his internship.
If you don’t do well, you may not even be able to pass the internship period!
After waiting for a few more minutes, he really couldn't bear the pain anymore!
He suddenly stood up!
