Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man - Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209: Chapter 1209: Get Out

“Is there anything else?” Song Zishan calmed down, suppressed the fear in her heart, and asked, “Can you say everything all at once?”

“There’s more, the Su family is suing us… our magazine agency for breach of contract,” the secretary said in a fluster.

Before Chief Editor Xia left, he made it very clear that we must not give up the cooperation with the Su family, but General Manager Song wouldn’t stop, insisting on breaking the contract without even a word of notice. Not only that, but she also intentionally slandered the Su family in the New Year special edition. Everyone in the magazine agency was against it, but no one dared to speak up, for fear their fate would be the same as Chief Editor Xia’s.

Or even worse than his.

“She dares!” Song Zishan’s eyes nearly split with rage, slapping the desk so hard that the sound was loud and her palm went numb from the pain, “Who gave her the audacity? How dare she?”

The secretary shrank back in fright, thinking to herself that of course they dare, they dare quite a lot.

Song Zishan took a few deep breaths; the series of news had come too fast and caught her off guard. She thought about calling over the helpers she had found from the Capital to discuss countermeasures, but quickly dismissed the idea in her mind. Each one was more useless than the last, all rubbish.

In the Province, all they did was strut around arrogantly, but when it came to solving problems, they were useless.

The contrast with Lu Jianan was too obvious. Before, with issues like these, Lu Jianan would’ve handled them, and she never had to worry herself. Without Lu Jianan now, Song Zishan felt restricted at every turn.

“General Manager Song, what do we do?”

“Get out.”

“Yes.”

The secretary scurried out, downcast. As soon as she closed the office door from the outside, the employees of the magazine agency surrounded her.

The secretary gestured for them to be quiet and pointed towards the adjacent office. The group all followed quietly into the office. As soon as they entered, they couldn’t help but break into a clamor, anxiously firing questions.

“What on earth is going on?”

“I’ve heard that now nobody in the Province is willing to work with us.”

“Is it true? It should not be, right? Wasn’t it said that General Manager Song has a powerful backing? Who would dare to show her such disrespect?”

“Right! Initially, she forced Chief Editor Xia to sell the magazine agency at a low price; how could she not have connections?”

“Pfft! I said it long ago, that woman is utterly incompetent. She has a terrible temper, looks down on people, and is whimsical in her dealings. Which businessperson acts like her? She’s only fit to be a spoiled lady at home, not to run a business or a magazine agency.”

The speaker was one of Chief Editor Xia’s confidants. Ever since he left, she had gradually found it harder to keep working and had cursed Song Zishan countless times in her heart. Now that she found the opportunity, she vented her inner thoughts all at once.

Normally, she would never dare to say such things. Everyone in the magazine agency knew that Song Zishan was not to be trifled with, being bad-tempered; if you offended her, just wait for your bad luck! No matter how much discontent they had in their hearts, they had to endure it. They dared not speak, nor whisper privately, fearing that their words would get out and invite retaliation.

But at this moment, everyone who heard her went silent for an instant. Then pretended not to hear, because they all felt the same way, and she wasn’t wrong.

The secretary looked in the direction of Song Zishan’s office fearfully, knowing that she must be inside making phone calls and wouldn’t hear them, which put her mind at ease.

“You all, speak less,” pleaded the secretary, her face ashen.

“What’s wrong? Is the situation really that serious?”

The secretary nodded, “Today, when I went to the Xinxing Printing Factory, I met someone who used to have a good relationship with our magazine agency. He told me to start looking for a new job. But where can I find one? Jobs are so hard to come by these days, and even if you do find one, it’s going into a factory, and I don’t want to work in a factory.”
