5 Chaos in Office

Before going to sleep, Hei Lin thought to go to the office early and clear the misunderstanding.

Since she slept late at night, she forgot about it and is still sleeping.

At 9'o clock in the morning inside bamboo publications of the Tang group, the assistant bao xi, called Hei Lin yesterday, was too anxious and pacing front and back in the publishing room.

Even though bao xi trusted Hei Lin and did as per her say, he still fears his boss. What if something happens which he can't explain later.

To his misfortune today, the xx magazine representative is coming to inspect before it gets published.

The XX magazine is an international magazine that has recently opened its branches in some Asian countries.

As they are new to the Asian market, the xx magazine company's marketing head came to visit and make sure things are going as per plan.

As Hei Lin slept late at night yesterday, she woke up at 10'o clock in the morning.

When the xx magazine's marketing head and his assistant came to the bamboo publication house, it is already 11'o clock.

After xx magazine's marketing head Mr. Alex, came into the office, he immediately wanted to see a copy of the edited magazine and asked for the same.

Since it is a publication house, they were well trained in the English language and their national language. They can converse in both languages with ease.

As Alex interacted with the people, he didn't face any problem, and it was elementary to converse with them in English.

He was introduced by the receptionist as their new client and asked all of them to cooperate with Alex as they will publish xx company's new edition magazine in their country.

Seeing this meng Shi, one of the female colleagues is full of smiles thinking heavens showed mercy on her by sending this marketing head to their company in the form of Hei Lin's humiliation.

Bao xi is the assistant of the publishing department's head, Yang Guo, and he is still not in the office.

Hence Bao xi is needed to take the responsibility of attending Mr. Alex and address all his doubts and worries.

He wanted to call Hei Lin and urge her to rush up as early as possible, but there was no time and keeping his worries aside; he received them politely.

Since Bao xi is just a mere assistant and used to take action after his boss's order, he felt very nervous about this current situation.

Thinking it's best to handle the situation after being honest, he informed everything to Alex that has happened yesterday after the editor has left for the day.

He also apologized to him repeatedly, saying, "the editor will be here as early as possible." Being thoughtful of Hei Lin, bao xi didn't reveal her name and kept quiet.

After listening to bao xi patiently, Alex calmly asked who is the head of both the editing and the publishing departments are.

Noticing his nervousness, he also asked bao xi to relax, as he is not the one who is responsible for the magazines, either editing or publishing.

With a smile, Bao xi thanked Alex and answered that head of the publishing department is yang Guo, and the head of the editing department is Hei Lin's manager Dao Shen.

Due to a personal issue, Dao Shen is abroad for a client meeting, and Hei Lin is the editing department's unofficial current head. He also informed me that she is also an author.

When the xx magazine company chose this publication house for its first edition release of the magazine in this country, Alex was aware of this publication house's reputation.

So he doesn't want to make anything awkward and intending to clear the miss understanding, Alex asked bao xi to show him the magazine's editing parts.

Not left with other options, bao xi went inside the room where the publishing machine is and bought the magazine's edited version.

In his hurry, Bao Xi also bought a raw version of the magazine along with the edited version as per the instructions given by Hei Lin.

Alex took it and looked it for almost 10minutes, and he was already impressed with the way the editing has done.

He also felt the style is quite familiar.

The way the editor made a note for the publishing department is obvious.

He can see the amount of dedication that has invested in the editing part.

Alex can also see that there is something a miss. It can seem that all the editing parts have been done, and the editor didn't miss any detail.

Not wanting to pick at these people, Alex said, "I want to know the whole truth, so I will wait till your chief editor comes.

Saying so, he asked about their clients' waiting room, and before he went into the waiting room, he was stopped by meng shi.

Meng shi, with a sweet smile, said to Alex since he is the magazine's marketing head, and it's almost 12 already, so he shouldn't be waiting for the editor.

If he intends to wait, they might not publish the magazine as per the scheduled time.

Hei lin was in the middle of her way to the office when she noticed she had forgotten her identity card.

Since she is traveling by bike, she went back to get the identity card, so she has not reached the office yet.

Alex, not knowing Meng shi's real intention, though she was helping him and asked her what she wants to suggest. Even though everyone in the company knew about meng shi wanting to humiliate hue lin, everyone kept quiet.

Bao xi wanted to prevent meng shi's interference as he was doubtful towards her intentions but was held back by other people.

Meng shi said to Alex that the chief editor is Hei Lin and the editing department's current head.

She also informed Alex that Hei Lin is aware of his arrival; it might be she has stuck in the traffic.

Hei Lin is very close to her manager, and it might be that she missed Alex's arrival. Meng shi's intention was to make it look like Hei Lin became head only because of her closeness towards her manager.

Meng shi also apologized on behalf of Hei lin, saying that she was always clumsy and asked Alex to forgive her.

Alex understood meng shi's "kind" intention towards Hei lin. Pretending angry, he said if it is so, she should have finished her work right.

Hence she is this ignorant. I would like to see how she will answer. Young lady, thank you for making me realize my "mistake."

Miss. Meng Shi, if you don't mind, can you call the editor and know her whereabouts.

Meng shi was full of confidence and made a fake call and, with a sad face, informed that hue lin is not picking.

Meng shi intending to make it more awkward when Hei lin comes asked Alex how come he know that editor didn't miss any parts to which he smiled and said that he would reveal when the editor comes to the office.
