She immediately ran happily to the Human Resources Department. “I’m here to collect my reporter’s certificate.”

She was expecting that she would be in possession of her reporter’s certificate very quickly, but unexpectedly, the HR worker said in a puzzled tone, “I haven’t received your reporter’s certificate. It’s strange. The others from your batch have already gotten theirs, why don’t we have yours?”

On hearing this, her happy vibes suddenly disappeared. “Could there be a mistake?”

The HR worker shook her head and said, “No, when the managing editor handed these over to me, I counted them. Yours wasn’t among them.”

Qiao Lian frowned and tried to clarify it, “Are you saying the reporter’s certificate was handed over to you by the Managing Editor?”

The staff worker nodded.

Qiao Lian turned around and strode towards Liu Zhixing’s office.

Just as she arrived at his office, she heard a conversation between two people coming from inside the room.

They were the voices of the Managing Editor and Team One’s Chief Editor Zhang Chunhua.

“Managing Editor Liu, Mei Mei has lost 10 kilograms this time. After that day, she has been refusing to eat. Oh, when do you have some time to see her?”

Liu Zhixing sighed as he heard this. “I wish I could go and see her too. But things are difficult at home. As you know, when I first started working, she had been travelling out of the country.”

At these words, Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes.

This would mean that when Liu Zhixing had first started working at the news agency, Zhang Chunhua had already known he was married?

Why hadn’t she tried to talk her niece out of the affair then?

As she narrowed her eyes, she heard footsteps from within approaching the office door.

At once, the door was opened.

Zhang Chunhua stood at the threshold and paused for a moment before she said frostily, “Qiao Lian? What are you doing here?”

Smiling, Qiao Lian replied, “Team One Chief Editor, do I need to report to you why I’ve come to look for Managing Editor?

Zhang Chunhua snorted coldly and remarked, “Stubborn. Even if you don’t say it, I know what you’re here for.”

Qiao Lian raised her eyebrows.

Zhang Chunhua continued, “Everyone has their reporter’s certificate except you... Without the reporter’s certificate, you’re at best just a worker here. That’s far from being a reporter!”

Qiao Lian ignored her and walked past her, directly going up to Liu Zhixing. “Managing Editor, what’s going on with my reporter’s certificate?”

Liu Zhixing immediately smiled and said, “Your reporter’s certificate? Sure, sure, sure! Why wouldn’t we have yours? It’s right here!”

After saying this, he opened his drawer and took out the document.

Qiao Lian’s eyes lit up as she reached out for her reporter’s certificate.

Suddenly, Zhang Chun Hua rushed up to them and said, “Managing Editor, you can’t give that to her. Ever since she became the Chief Editor of Team Two, she has been slacking and playing all sorts of tricks. How many articles have they produced this month? Why should she get her reporter’s certificate?!”

After hearing these words, Liu Zhixing withdrew his hand holding out the reporter’s certificate.

Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes immediately.

Liu Zhixin coughed and cleared his throat. “Chief Editor Zhang is right, Chief Editor Qiao. Your team hasn’t done much this month.”

It was obvious he was using the reporter’s certificate to blackmail her for more news.

So much had happened this month. It was true that her team had not released any sensational news in any sense of the word. But still, they had been consistent with putting news out there.

Liu Zhixing was certainly a man whose greed knew no bottom!

Looking at his deplorable expression, Qiao Lian hung her head and said, “Okay, I understand what you mean.”

Then she turned around and walked out of the office.

She needed a big scoop now, and then exchange that for her reporter’s certificate with Liu Zhixing.

Back in her office, she called Shi Nianyao, “Let’s go, we need to sniff out some news!”
