"That’s..." Shirley exclaimed and subconsciously tried to grab the recorder.
Elena who was behind her kindly reminded, "It doesn’t matter if you break it, I have the recording backed up."
"You bitch!" Shirley’s eyes were red with anger and she stared at her fiercely as if to kill her.
The agent had never seen Shirley out of control like this. She glanced at the recorder on the table, and suddenly lost her confidence.
The editor-in-chief glanced suspiciously at the interview report. His eyes were instantly sparkling, and he immediately pressed the play button in front of everyone.
"So what if I have gone too far? Do your want to go against me? You’re just nobody from a little magazine."
"Keep your mouth shut, otherwise I will let you suffer!!"
In the recording, a sharp female voice was extremely familiar. Everyone present looked at Shirley simultaneously, and Shirley panicked, "What kind of synthesized recording is this? That’s not what I said. It has nothing to do with me!"
Elena shrugged, "Then you can find someone to verify the authenticity of this recording, but before that, I have to ask you to make compensation. Besides, you have seriously hurt me and threatened my life in that recording. I will also sue you for that, please wait for the court summons then."
"What do you mean!? Sue me?"
"Yes! Do you think that only you can ask us to compensate but we can’t sue you? Besides, you even slapped!" Sophia asserted eloquently and wasn’t afraid of her at all.
At that moment, if one still couldn’t tell right from wrong, then he was really a fool. The agent was so angry that she almost gave her a slap on the spot. They originally came to ask for the compensation but ended up like this!
"Shirley, what can I say? How do you want to handle this now?" The editor-in-chief knew that it was big news and said, "Miss Shirley, I was originally on your side in this matter, but our magazine is really disappointed with you now. Even if our magazine is not big, we never allow others to insult or even to slap our staff with impunity!"
After saying that, the editor-in-chief directly called for the security to send the two away. For a while, the office was quiet, and the editor-in-chief smiled, "Elena, Sophia, I’m arbitrary about this matter before. I apologize to you."
"It’s okay." Elena shook her head, "Editor-in-chief, will we publish this interview?"
"Sure! Why not!" The editor-in-chief was instantly stirred up and started contacting the publicity department to post the whole thing and the recording on the internet, "You two have got big news this time. Well done, especially Elena, sorry that you were slapped. Look at your face, there is still mark on it."
Sophia nodded in agreement, "Yes, if Elena didn’t stop me yesterday, I would be so angry that I might fight with her."
The editor-in-chief pacified the two with a few words and promised to offer extra bonuses before letting them out.
Sophia followed happily, "Elena, fortunately, you were smart enough to record it, otherwise, we have to pack up and go home!" Sophia continued, "But I thought the editor-in-chief was quite snobbish before, and now I’m going to be her fan! She is so righteous. That is Shirley. Even if she does something wrong, we don’t dare to kick her out. But editor-in-chief did it!"
"Well, get to work." Elena perfunctorily responded.
She thought that Sophia was indeed naive too. The reason why the editor-in-chief was immediately on their side was just for that news. Instead of waiting for their agent to negotiate a deal to buy the recording, it would be more profitable to post the news right away.
