Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Buying Emergency Contraception Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Buying Emergency Contraception In the first-class cabin of the international flight, the editor-in-chief would want to kill her if he saw this.
Even if this issue’s sales were to explode, the bonus she would receive wouldn’t be enough to cover the fare of the plane ticket.
Yi Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, if there’s anything you need help with, you can tell me.”
Lu Wanwan sighed in relief, smiling, “Of course, thank you very much.”
The manuscript was finished last night, and this morning was not very busy.
She took the company laptop and covertly searched for an issue, her expression growing serious.
Thus, as soon as it was time for the lunch break, she hurriedly wanted to leave.
“Lu Wanwan, aren’t you claiming reimbursement for your ticket?” Just as the editor-in-chief stepped out of the office, his eyes, behind the black-framed glasses, darted suspiciously over Lu Wanwan.
Lu Wanwan had not left yet, and hearing this voice gave her a headache.
Before she could speak, Tang Xiao’s loud voice cut in, “How could it not be reimbursed? Of course, it will be.”
Tang Xiao thought the editor-in-chief wanted to wriggle out of paying and bully Lu Wanwan.
Working so hard and still being denied reimbursement for the plane ticket was too much, where there’s oppression, there must be resistance!
Lu Wanwan was so troubled that she could only nod and say, “I didn’t print the itinerary. I’ll bring it another day.”
The editor-in-chief didn’t nod or ask further, his mind filling with deeper suspicions, especially concerning Tokyo.
She hadn’t told anyone in the office about the source of this scoop, because the informant wasn’t originally coming forward to spill the beans.
Later, when she found out that Star Headlines had also sent someone there, she felt like blowing her top. Weren’t they promised an exclusive?
Fortunately, the results Lu Wanwan brought back satisfied her.
After returning to the office, Li Mochou thought for a moment before making a phone call.
“How did Star Headlines get the scoop on Bai Lingyun? Look into it for me.”
The results were soon on her computer screen, and she saw the photo of Lu Wanwan.
“She had a private meeting with Bai Lingyun? But I was the one who sent her. . . .” She pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and murmured to herself.
Just then, the office phone rang.
“The higher-ups want to investigate who leaked the news about Bai Lingyun?” She was even more shocked after picking up the call.
As for who these “higher-ups” actually were, she herself didn’t know.
But with their publication’s reputation, having offended countless powerful figures yet still standing firm for years, and its remarkably high circulation without being acquired—this was already very peculiar.
Without any powerful backing, she, Li Mochou, would not believe it!
She had been the editor-in-chief here for many years and had never faced a situation where the higher-ups were pressured to investigate the source of a leak.
Was it because of Bai Lingyun, or was it because of. . . Lu Wanwan?
“You go ahead and eat. I’m going to buy something and will come back later,” Lu Wanwan said after descending the stairs, speaking to Tang Xiao before parting to not have lunch together but instead heading for a pharmacy.
She came out of the pharmacy in a fluster, running into Yi Cheng who was about to enter.
“Yi, Yi Cheng brother,” Lu Wanwan was startled.
“Are you ill?” Yi Cheng glanced at the bag she quickly put in her purse.
Lu Wanwan pointed calmly at her forehead, “I hurt my face. I always have to apply some medicine; otherwise, I would look ugly for a long time.”
“How could that be? No matter what, you’re always so beautiful. . . .”
She was flustered by his words, and quickly Yi Cheng said, “I. . . I’m going in to buy a pack of band-aids.”
Lu Wanwan nodded, clutching the emergency contraceptives she had purchased tightly as she walked away quickly.
It was only today that she suddenly remembered this problem, as Gu Annan had not taken any precautions, and she could not take this risk.
Inside the pharmacy, Yi Cheng, who had just entered, turned around. Through the glass door, he watched Lu Wanwan’s retreating figure and subconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
