Chapter 227 Loss of Exclusivity
Chapter 227 Loss of Exclusivity
Qiao Luo naturally understood.
She said, "I dare not say that I have made any contribution; it was purely out of professional caution."
"Professional caution? Are you sure you're not betraying your own side? After all, your relationship with the TL Group is unclear. Who knows if you're trying to hide it because of your relationship with the TL Group?"
Lin Mei deliberately misled people.
Qiao Luo was filled with indignation.
"Editor Lin, what do you mean by that? What do you mean I have an ambiguous relationship with TL Group? Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Mei snorted, "What evidence do you need for this? Anyone with eyes can see it. Otherwise, so many news media outlets couldn't get an exclusive interview, but you did. Do you really think you have that ability?"
"you……"
"Alright, you two stop arguing." Editor-in-Chief Tang finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop the debate.
Qiao Luo and Lin Mei then quieted down.
"Qiao Luo, tell me, how well have you verified this matter?" Editor-in-Chief Tang asked.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo spoke again, "I have already verified with TL Company that this matter is indeed true. This is the manuscript I wrote last night. Please take a look, Editor-in-Chief Tang."
As she spoke, Qiao Luo placed her manuscript in front of Editor-in-Chief Tang.
Editor-in-Chief Tang was very satisfied after reading the manuscript.
"So it seems you have your reasons." Editor-in-Chief Tang finally smiled.
Qiao Luo dared not say that she bore no responsibility in this matter, after all, she had selfish motives at the time.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, I did not do well in this matter. I should have told you beforehand, no matter what."
Seeing that she seemed to be admitting her mistake sincerely, Editor-in-Chief Tang did not pursue the matter further.
"It won't happen again."
"Yes."
"Now that you've verified this, just publish the article as stated and try to get an exclusive."
Qiao Luo nodded, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Tang. I'll go to work now."
"Go."
Qiao Luo turned and walked towards the door.
Lin Mei watched her departing figure, feeling very unwilling. She had finally managed to find fault with Qiao Luo, and it had just passed by so easily.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, are you just going to let Qiao Luo off the hook like this?"
So, after Qiao Luo left, Lin Mei asked him, feeling quite unwilling.
Editor-in-Chief Tang: "What she said is reasonable and well-founded. What more do you want? Lin Mei, sometimes superiors need to be more tolerant of their subordinates. Don't be so quick to punish them for every little mistake."
Editor-in-Chief Tang spoke with great earnestness.
Lin Mei could easily tell that she was being targeted, but she couldn't agree with it.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, that's not what I meant. I was thinking of you. What if something happens and it falls on your shoulders?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen."
Editor-in-Chief Tang believed in Qiao Luo, after all, she had always admired her talent.
Just then, someone knocked on the door and came in.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, something terrible has happened! The news about TL Company has already been published by other media outlets."
Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Tang was taken aback.
"What did you say? Some media outlets have already published it in advance?"
The man nodded.
Editor-in-Chief Tang was utterly shocked.
Seeing that her chance had come, Lin Mei quickly stepped forward.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, are you alright?"
How could Editor-in-Chief Tang be alright? She had just been vouching for Qiao Luo in front of Lin Mei, but then this happened. However, out of consideration for her reputation, she didn't say anything and hurriedly got up and left.
Seeing this, Lin Mei quickly followed.
At her workstation, Qiao Luo had already learned that the news had been released first. It was Bai Ge who discovered it first. She found the newly released news during internal verification and immediately informed Qiao Luo.
Qiao Luo was initially shocked, after all, there were only five minutes left before the other party's release time, which meant that she could have made it in time if she had posted five minutes earlier.
However, it was those brief five minutes that cost her the opportunity for an exclusive release.
"Luo Luo, what should we do?"
Bai Ge was very worried.
