Chapter 228 Liu Jiang Receives Baby's Photo (1/2)

Lin Han is young and beautiful, and she was appointed as the director right away, which makes it hard for Wang Jing to feel resentful.

She secretly spread rumors throughout the workplace that Lin Han was the president's mistress, subtly accusing Lin Han of having illicit relationships.

At first, many people thought she was overthinking things. Being beautiful doesn't necessarily mean she has to be with an older man. The main issue is that the president is quite old and his appearance is...well, let's just say it's not that he's attractive.

Not long after, at the weekly meeting, the president personally announced that Lin Han would serve as the chief editor of the children's picture book "Little Bear Run".

Everyone was in an uproar.

It's worth noting that "Little Bear Run" is currently the publisher's best-selling book. Not only are kindergartens required to subscribe to it, but many parents also buy it separately for their children to read.

It's rare for a publishing house to encounter such a wildly popular bestseller every three to five years. Many people are eyeing the editor-in-chief position for "Little Bear Run".

Wang Jing felt that she had a lot of seniority at the publishing house, so it was bound to be her turn eventually.

But unexpectedly, the newcomer Lin Han snatched it away.

"President, I object. Lin Han has only been here a short time. Why should she be the editor-in-chief? How much does she even know about this picture book?"

Lin Han used a pen name when she illustrated this series of picture books, so people don't know that she is the author of "Little Bear Run".

When she came to work at the publishing house, she specifically instructed the editor-in-chief not to reveal her pen name. She just wanted to work quietly and didn't want any other unnecessary trouble.

The president glanced at Wang Jing.

"What are you complaining about? No one knows Lin Han better than him. Meeting adjourned."

Wang Jing was unconvinced, and after the meeting, she pulled someone aside to whisper among herself.

"See? I told you so, didn't I? Lin Han definitely has something going on with the president, otherwise such an important project would have been given to her directly."

"Which of us isn't more experienced than Lin Han? Which of us isn't more suitable? But we don't have her connections. She can just lie in the president's bed, say a few nice words, and get whatever she wants."

Lin Han happened to come out of the office and heard Wang Jing uttering foul language. She walked up to Wang Jing, grabbed her shoulder, and slapped her across the face.

"If your mouth is dirty, brush your teeth properly. If I hear you talking nonsense again, I'll pull out all your teeth."

Wang Jing was stunned by the slap.

"What right do you have to hit me?"

Lin Han hates gossipy people the most; slapping her would be too lenient.

"You've slandered me without any evidence, so why do you think I slapped you?"

Wang Jing met Lin Han's eyes fiercely.

"I'm telling the truth. If you and the president weren't having an affair, why would you get all the good things?"

Why should a newcomer like you get a spot in such a high-quality project as "Little Bear Run"?

Lin Han didn't explain, but the president heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Wang Jing, all you do is spout nonsense all day long. I can accept your words, but why do you have to drag Lin Han into this?"

Lin Han drew "Little Bear Run" and is the original author. So why should she be the editor-in-chief?

You have extensive experience, but can you actually create such excellent works?

All you do is gossip, do you not want this job anymore?

Wang Jing was stunned, and her other colleagues were also very surprised.

"What? You're saying Lin Han drew 'Little Bear Run'? How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? The manuscript for the next issue is still with Comrade Lin Han and hasn't been submitted yet. It's easy to prove."

You're just stirring up trouble. You're incompetent at work, so you go around slandering excellent and capable colleagues. Apologize to Comrade Lin Han right now!

Wang Jing was embarrassed by being publicly scolded and tried to make amends.

"So what? Even if she is the author of 'Little Bear Run,' that doesn't mean she and you didn't have something going on."

Relationships between men and women are difficult to explain clearly.

Especially beautiful women.

The club president was terrified. Who was Lin Han? Did he even deserve to be called worthy?

If the Gu family finds out, he'll be in big trouble.

"Wang Jing, just shut up. It won't kill you to say a few words. If you say another word, you can go home and never come to work again."

Wang Jing felt she had found the president's weakness; his reaction clearly showed he was guilty.

"What? Feeling guilty?"

The president nearly fainted. "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
