Chapter 329 – Helping Xiong Ruogang I
Huang Zemin seemed to be at a loss, "Ruolan, you are the only one who has ever interviewed Director Fang before. I heard that he has a good opinion of you. This interview is really very important for our company. How about this, if you succeed, I will pay your salary. As long as you can get an interview from Director Fang, I will pay you a month's salary, how about that?"
Jiang Ruolan was disdainful. Who the hell are Huang Zemin to her? Help him just because she'd interviewed him before? Her monthly salary was only about four thousand yuan, and Director Fang was an arrogant man. Even if he agreed to be interviewed, she still had to pick him up!
One visit to Fengyu Media had made her wind up. Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and controlled her temper as she was carrying a child. She did not want anything to happen to her child.
She smiled. "A month's salary?"
Huang Zemin thought she had agreed, so he said with a smile, "Yes, if you get the first news about this new project and do it well, you will also get a prize of 1000 yuan."
Jiang Ruolan chuckled. "I'm still not going."
Huang Zemin: "…"
Jiang Ruolan could already imagine the expression on Editor Huang's face. There was no helping it, he was brought here by Qin Gengxin. If she didn't bully him, she would let down her beloved sister-in-law!
Jiang Ruolan was about to take a taxi home. However, just as she was about to walk to the side of the road, her phone rang again.
This time it was Xiong Ruogang who called. Jiang Ruolan had a bad feeling about this and her eyelids twitched.
As soon as the call connected, Xiong Ruogang said in a resentful tone, "Sis Jiang, can you help me interview Director Fang of the Construction Bureau? I heard that he has a strange personality and it is very difficult to interview him, but Boss Huang gave me the death order and I have to write the news about this new project tomorrow night."
As expected, her premonition was right. A calamity had really descended from the heavens. She didn't take Huang Zemin's request seriously, but Xiong Ruogang's pitiful begging for help.
"Tomorrow night?" Jiang Ruolan was on the verge of tears.
"Yes, by tomorrow night. If I don't, my last month of internship results will be done for. I just need one more month before I can officially become a journalist."
"Fine."
Jiang Ruolan scratched her forehead with a sigh. Suddenly, she wanted to call Huang Zemin again and ask if the money reward was still there.
So after hanging up the phone, she really called him back. As soon as Huang Zemin answered the phone, she directly said, "Ahem, Chief Editor Huang, the reward of 1000 yuan is too low, how about 1500?"
Huang Zemin: "…." "Come to the company, let me explain the work to you."
Although Jiang Ruolan has resigned, her usual capable and experienced work style has left a deep impression on many company leaders. Therefore, when she suddenly received her work card and materials from the editor, many former colleagues stood in front of the company corridor, whispering to each other. A large number of them wondered why she suddenly returned to work.
Initially, the reason she resolutely resigned was also because Qin Gengxin had purchased Fengyu Media. No matter how careless she was, she would not obediently work under him. Although Qin Gengxin hadn't come here much recently, she did not need to come back.
Therefore, she did not explain and walked directly to the office of the Department of Commerce. Xiong Ruogang had sat where she had sat before, looking at Director Fang's interview log with a troubled expression. When she saw Jiang Ruolan enter, her eyes lit up, and she rushed towards her.
"Sis Jiang, you are the best! I know you will help me. You are indeed my savior!"
"Shut up! Go sit there. I'll need to take a look at the information. Follow me tomorrow." Jiang Ruolan slapped Xiong Ruogang's pig leg from her chair and pushed her to the side. After sitting down, she began to read the information seriously.
Little Lin and some of her colleagues looked at her in surprise, but because they knew Jiang Ruolan's identity was unusual, they did not dare ask about it.
"Oh right, Sis Jiang! Before this, I heard that Director Fang was only the Head of the Construction Bureau, but he was already difficult to deal with. How did you manage to get an interview with him? Is there someone behind him? How can he climb the position so fast?" Xiong Ruogang suddenly asked in a low voice.
Jiang Ruolan flipped through the new information on the Construction Bureau and said faintly, "It was indeed difficult to obtain this position. It was also a coincidence that I was able to get an interview with him at the time, so I knew he had a good relationship with the Ling Family. At the time, Han Xuegang and I have not broken up yet, so I used this relationship and barely got an interview."
She closed the file and sighed.
Fang Weisheng. He had a lot of women. The women at the company did not want to get involved with him and they did not want to provoke him. Why would Jiang Ruolan want to interview such a person? However, since Xiong Ruogang had asked for her help, she could only brace herself and give it a try.
***
The Construction Bureau was not too far from Ling Group but far away from Fengyu Media. Jiang Ruolan first returned home to change into a set of clothes suitable for work, and because she was afraid that it would be difficult to catch a taxi to the Construction Bureau, she directly drove and brought Xiong Ruogang along with her to there.
"Director Fang is not here."
Just as they arrived at the Construction Bureau, the staff at the door saw a work ID on Jiang Ruolan and Xiong Ruogang's chest, so they said it indifferently and turned to leave.
Recently, the Construction Bureau and Ling Group projects have been delayed for some reason and now that top officials have secretly investigated them, many people were trying to find out the truth about it.
Jiang Ruolan thought that she would be able to find out what had happened, but she did not expect the staff to be so straightforward. She could not help but ask with a face full of smiles. "In that case, can I ask if Director Fang will be here tomorrow? My company really hopes to receive first-hand news about this project. We will only interview some information about this new project and won't touch on anything else. So, can I trouble you to help me?"
"I have already said that Director Fang is not here, you don't understand human language? What is the point of telling me all this? I am just Director Fang's secretary. Since he took this position, the Construction Bureau has been operating normally for eight hours every day, so it would be enough and nice for him to be here for two hours! Every day there is a social gathering he needs to attend and today is his daughter's birthday! He left at noon!"
That staff looked at Jiang Ruolan impatiently, "Besides, Director Fang really hates media people like you. Do you think the news about this new project is very easy to get?"
Seeing that the secretary's attitude was very bad, Xiong Ruogang, who followed behind Jiang Ruolan, could not control her temper. She wanted to say something, but Jiang Ruolan immediately grabbed her arm, signaling her not to be impulsive.
After that, they both left the Construction Bureau. Xiong Ruogang condemned in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with that woman? Although in the business world, interviews are a routine that should be faced by big officials, but they need to remember, without the media, how do these officials get their positive image? I have never seen an employee like this since I started my internship, and that woman is just a secretary!"
"If Director Fang is so easy to see, you will not ask for my help. Chief editor Huang only gives you one day, and at the end of the day, you have to report the news. News like this cannot be delayed. If you don't get the first-handed news, others will snatch it from you."
This was one of the things that often happened in the media world. If you were late, you would miss the opportunity. Right now, Jiang Ruolan needed to think of another way to meet Director Fang as soon as possible.
