"Mr. Jiang, this article is particularly good." The editor-in-chief was very happy. "It’s the best one in our entire plan!"
Jiang Baocu thanked him.
"Then please work hard and send it out. We’ll promote it later," said the editor-in-chief.
Jiang Baocu let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, the task was complete.
Finally, a big problem was solved.
She came up with a more attractive title and then sent out the article.
"Cinderella," by Sheng Tang.
As soon as the editor-in-chief saw it, he immediately called to ask what was going on.
"You know those sentences and poems I became famous for? They were written by my classmate; this article is hers too," Jiang Baocu said.
The editor-in-chief hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can you discuss it with her to use your name, or not put a name at all?"
"Then I won’t send it."
"If you don’t send it, you’ll be in breach of contract," the editor-in-chief suddenly said in a sinister tone.
When dealing with disobedient subordinates, pressure must be applied.
Mentioning a breach of contract can be both a soft nudge or a hard blow.
"It’s okay, I can terminate the contract," Jiang Baocu replied. "Just tell me the amount, and I’ll transfer the money to you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The article wasn’t retracted and was posted just like that.
The editor-in-chief was clearly stunned and very unsatisfied with Jiang Baocu’s bad temper.
She disliked disobedient employees.
So, the editor-in-chief decided to scare Jiang Baocu a bit by sending her a contract with a breach of contract penalty of one million yuan.
She was also very angry inside.
The people under her, weren’t they all trying to curry favor with her? This Jiang Baocu, a high school student, doesn’t know how high the sky is.
Besides, that article was just somewhat good, not extremely good. What right did she have to threaten her?
She immediately sent the contract to Jiang Baocu.
"Mr. Jiang, please modify your article’s byline within ten minutes. Sheng Tang is not an employee of our company, so her name cannot be used directly."
"I won’t change it," Jiang Baocu said. "I saw the contract, and I will have my lawyer contact you."
The editor-in-chief sneered: A lawyer?
This kid must have watched too many TV dramas and lost her mind.
"It’s not worth it for one article. Actually, the quality of that article is okay, but not to the point of being a big hit. Think it over again," the editor-in-chief used her utmost patience.
But Jiang Baocu didn’t respond.
Not only did she not respond, but she also posted the article on her own Weibo.
Their public account, in order to attract traffic, would definitely wait for the article to get enough reads before moving it to other platforms. What Jiang Baocu did was diverting the traffic.
She suddenly became disobedient.
The editor-in-chief was furious.
Ten minutes later, she notified Jiang Baocu again, saying the company would sue her for breach of contract and that she should wait to receive the lawyer’s letter.
Jiang Baocu still didn’t respond.
The editor-in-chief was so angry that she didn’t want to work. They did self-media and had to work overtime on weekends. The editor-in-chief was already full of anger, and now she was a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
At this moment, the secretary walked in.
"Editor-in-chief, Mr. Jiang’s article has reached over 100,000 reads in half an hour. It will surely go viral. Should we promote it today?" the secretary asked.
The editor-in-chief was stunned: "What?"
She had read the article; it was quite good. But over 100,000 reads in half an hour, how could it be possible?
Jiang Baocu’s account didn’t have that much power.
At the same time, a handsome middle-aged man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, arrived at their company and handed over his business card: "I am Miss Jiang Baocu’s lawyer. Is this the breach of contract letter your company sent to my client?"
