Chapter 404 - 404: Abandoned Us Because We're Poor
All the employees of TG Entertainment were extra diligent today.
Huo Zihang the CEO of the company would go to the office every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Today happens to be Wednesday.
The floors were squeaky clean and almost as reflective as a mirror.
Huo Zihang walked in through the main entrance.
The weather was gloomy and it was drizzling outside but he was wearing a pair of sunglasses, and he was sporting the trendiest haircut.
"Hey babes, a good day starts with looking at you guys," Huo Zihang said as he moved his sunglasses down his nose a little when staring at a few female idol trainees who were resting at the lounge.
They immediately blushed shyly.
When Huo Zihang entered the elevator, they started swooning and gushing over him.
"Mr. Huo is so handsome! I look forward to his arrival in the office the most!"
"Quick, see if my lipstick has smudged. He probably didn't see my unglamorous appearance, did he?"
"He said hi to us just now. Fortunately, I managed to join TG Entertainment."
The atmosphere on the first floor was pleasant and few people who were dressed plainly entered with cameras on their necks.
Tan Sangsang pulled out her black-framed glasses and put them on before leaning close to the middle-aged man beside her. She said conscientiously, "Chief editor, it's my son's birthday today. Just now, his teacher at school called to tell me that he's crying and looking for me, I believe you can conduct the interview well on your own..."
After saying that, Tan Sangsang fled.
"I remember that your son just had his birthday last month," the chief editor said, staring at Tan Sangsang with suspicion. "Sangsang, how many sons do you have?"
Tan Sangsang smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, it's because the reporter responsible for the financial interview took a leave of absence. Besides, Sangsang, you've been working for our magazine for such a long time and you're very experienced in conducting interviews. We can't let a newbie interview Mr. Huo Zihang, can we?"
The chief editor said earnestly when he saw how reluctant Tan Sangsang was.
"But I..."
"After you finish this interview, the position of the deputy editor-in-chief of the social news department..."
Tang Sangsang immediately stood up straight and said, "Chief Editor, I'll work hard."
The chief editor nodded. After walking into the elevator, he couldn't help but turn to look at Tan Sangsang again. "Sangsang, rich people are nice and enviable. Why do you hate them?"
"…"
Tan Sangsang coughed twice. This morning, she turned the chief editor down immediately when he asked her to stand in for another reporter and interview Huo Zihang.
Her reason for refusal was that she hated the rich.
"My son's biological father abandoned me and my son because he looks down on me for being poor." At this point, Tan Sangsang raised her head and looked at the chief editor with tears in her eyes. "Chief Editor, of course I hate the rich. How about we let someone else take over me for the interview..."
The chief editor patted her shoulders and said, "Poor girl, I'll introduce you to a good man if I meet one next time."
Huo Zihang usually accepted entertainment interviews so this was his first time accepting a financial interview.
Hence, he specially wore a suit.
After staring at himself in the mirror for a long time, he couldn't help but think, 'No wonder I'm from the Huo Family. I'm just as handsome as Second Brother when I don a suit!'
Knock-knock.
Someone knocked on the door at the right time and Huo Xishen immediately sat on the sofa while mimicking Huo Xishen's usual posture.
The first person to come in was a middle-aged man who was all smiles when he saw Huo Zihang. "Hello, Mr. Huo, I'm the chief editor of Shenyang Daily. Thank you for accepting our interview."
Huo Zihang waved his hand like a boss and said, "Okay, I'm very busy now, let's begin."
