Chapter 337 Personal Feelings
Chapter 337 Personal Feelings
While Qiao Luo was busy with her work, she received an internal call from Editor-in-Chief Tang.
She quickly dropped what she was doing and rushed over.
"Editor-in-Chief Tang, you wanted to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Tang nodded, then invited her to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Have you thought about the content for the next issue of the journal?"
Upon hearing Editor-in-Chief Tang's question, Qiao Luo quickly replied, "I've already thought it through."
"Oh? What theme are you planning to use?"
Editor-in-Chief Tang pressed for details.
Qiao Luo: "During this recent economic downturn, there is a lot of concern online about the future economic situation. I have also received many inquiries about this in my email recently. Therefore, I plan to analyze the future economic situation in depth so as to give netizens a reply."
Qiao Luo reported the facts truthfully.
Editor-in-Chief Tang had no objection to this, since the journal's theme always closely followed international events, and it was understandable that Qiao Luo chose this theme.
But she had other ideas.
"Qiao Luo, your idea is good, and the theme is very relevant to the recent hot topics. However, I think it's only the beginning of the year, and the future economic situation is not clear enough. It would be too risky to analyze and predict now."
Qiao Luo could understand Editor-in-Chief Tang's concern. After all, they were media people, not real economists. They could only analyze and dissect data released by the government and could not make accurate predictions.
Risks are unavoidable.
It's normal for Editor-in-Chief Tang to have such concerns as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.
However, she had her own ideas.
“I understand your concerns, but the next issue of the journal is about to be released, and finding a new topic at the last minute might be a bit rushed, so…”
"You don't need to worry about that, don't we already have existing themes?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo asked with some confusion, "What does Editor-in-Chief Tang mean?"
Hearing her ask this, Editor-in-Chief Tang smiled and said, "Of course, the most popular ones online recently."
"The most popular?"
Qiao Luo couldn't remember for a moment.
Editor-in-Chief Tang: "Think about it carefully?"
Qiao Luo was initially a little unsure what Editor-in-Chief Tang was referring to, but after meeting her gaze, she immediately understood.
"You mean..."
"Yes, it's the one you thought."
Before she could finish speaking, Editor-in-Chief Tang interrupted her with a smile.
Qiao Luo remained silent.
She knew what Editor-in-Chief Tang was referring to; it was nothing more than the hot topic surrounding TL Group.
After all, since that commendation ceremony, the internet has been flooded with news about that company.
Moreover, many netizens spontaneously created topics to support this company.
There are even many people who ship her and Lu Tingnian's marital relationship.
However, she did not want to bring up this topic again.
Thinking this, she said to Editor-in-Chief Tang, "Editor-in-Chief Tang, can't we change the topic?"
Hearing her ask this, Editor-in-Chief Tang asked, puzzled, "Why?"
After all, in everyone's mind, this topic is readily available, and given the relationship between Qiao Luo and TL Company, this topic is practically a piece of cake. It can both maintain the online buzz and generate revenue for the magazine.
More importantly, with the recent surge in interest in the field of AI, their magazine can seize this opportunity to increase its visibility.
It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.
Therefore, Editor-in-Chief Tang could not understand why Qiao Luo wanted to abandon this topic.
Qiao Luo didn't know how to answer this question. She couldn't very well say that it was because of her personal feelings.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Editor-in-Chief Tang assumed that she was deliberately avoiding suspicion.
After all, her relationship with Lu Tingnian is now almost common knowledge.
Based on her understanding of Qiao Luo, she probably didn't want others to think she was using connections to gain popularity.
"Qiao Luo, I know your concerns. You probably don't want people to think you're relying on your husband's connections. But what I want to say is that having this connection is an advantage, but it's also your ability. Let others say what they want. We in the media are always in the vortex of public opinion, don't you think?"
Editor-in-Chief Tang's meaning was clear: she shouldn't avoid this kind of work because of her personal reasons.
Qiao Luo knew that it was unprofessional of her to let her personal emotions get involved, but she and Lu Tingnian had already gone this far, and it was impossible for her to take charge of that business again.
Thinking this way, she said, "Then how about this, if it really doesn't work, I'll quit and let someone else do it."
Upon hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Tang was taken aback; she hadn't expected Qiao Luo to be so insistent on this matter.
However, Editor-in-Chief Tang did not force her, but said, "In that case, you go and make the arrangements."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Luo nodded and then turned and left.
Back in her office, she immediately called Bai Ge in, explained the theme of the next issue of the magazine, and gave Bai Ge some instructions:
"Bai Ge, you will be in charge of the cooperation with TL Company from now on."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ge was taken aback: "Luo Luo, isn't this inappropriate?"
