Chapter 598 It's You Who Are Fated to Be (4)
Crystal stood up with a smile.
"Oh, our Chief Editor Hutt is finally back. I have been waiting for a long time!" Crystal smiled and said, "sorry, your office is too small, and there is no other place to sit. So, I sat in your seat. So, you won't mind, right?"
Nell said coldly, "Of course I do. But if I did, wouldn't you sit there?"
"You didn't come back for a long time. I couldn't have been waiting for you all the time, right?"
"There are so many seats outside. You did not have to sit in my office."
"The chairs outside are too hard. They are not as comfortable as yours."
In conclusion, she was to deliberately disgust Nell.
"You came to our newspaper office to look for me. Now that I'm here, you can leave if you have nothing to do."
"You just came back and then you wanted to chase me away. Alas, I heard that you were hospitalized. Did you sprain your ankle?" Crystal looked at Nell with feigned concern, "you just stayed in the hospital once more than a month ago. Don't leave any illness behind."
"You don't need to worry about this. You should be more concerned about your own health. It is said that women tend to have menopause after forty years old. Moreover, they will age faster and have crow's feet. Well, I know some friends who specialize in dealing with that problem. Do you need me to introduce them to you?"
Crystal's expression changed slightly.
She did not like people mentioning her age and the word 'old'.
"My thirty-nine birthday does not come yet. What forty? You can eat whatever you like, but you can't talk whatever you want!"
Nell said innocently, "I didn't say anything wrong. We like to count nominal age. As for you... You are 39 years old and haven't reached yet, but your nominal age is forty. This is undeniable!"C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Crystal was so angry that her frown deepened, and she was so angry that she could not speak.
Nell quickly reminded her, "Oh, Auntie Clarkson, it turns out that you are afraid of others talking about your age. I am really sorry!"
The words "Auntie Weng" provoked Crystal again.
"You call me aunt?"
"Yes! When I was a child, my mother told me I can call the people aunt who are older than me by more than a round. You are just fourteen years older than me, so ... I call you Auntie. This is to respect you. Did I say anything wrong?" Nell explained seriously.
This was what Crystal was most annoyed with Nell.
Nell was younger and more beautiful than Crystal. Moreover, she was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old and had already taken the position of chief editor. Crystal hadn't taken her current position until she was thirty-five years old.
Therefore, she was jealous of Nell and repeatedly wanted to press Nell. However, Nell was very eloquent. Every time Nell poked her sore spot, she wanted to break Nell's neck.
Taking a deep breath, Crystal swallowed her anger. Thinking about her purpose of coming here today, Crystal felt complacent.
"Yes, you are younger than me, so I am your elder. The sales of your Fair Magazine are not as high as our Privilege Magazine. Alas..." Crystal seemed to finally feel proud as she said, "the sales of our Privilege Magazine are ten percent higher than the last issue. I heard that the sales of your Fair Magazine are lower than the last issue. As an elder, I came here to remind the younger generation. Running a magazine, you cannot insist on only one pattern, or it is easy to fall behind."
Nell frowned.
'Well, I knew Crystal is here to show off.'
'However, I, Nell, have never been one to be trifled with in terms of words.'
"Alas, the latest issue of our magazine has declined. However, this is also normal. If there is a decline, there will be a rise, right? Your Privilege Magazine has not been rising all the time. What's more, the next issue of ours will definitely surpass yours."
Crystal snorted.
"Surpass ours? Are you dreaming in the daylight?" Crystal remembered there were only a few times that Fair Magazine surpassed Privilege Magazine. The only few times were because Fair Magazine had invited a few young and famous people. However, very quickly, in the next issue, their Privilege Magazine overtook Fair Magazine.
Nell raised her chin arrogantly, "When did I dream? I am telling the truth. Why don't we make a bet? Let's bet on the sales of our next magazine."
Crystal crossed her arms and looked coldly at Nell, "Okay, let's bet then. What do you want to bet?"
"Whoever loses will have a sign on her neck that says 'I lost' and stand at the entrance of the office of the other party at five o'clock in the morning. How about that?" Crystal frowned.
'What gives Nell the confidence to win over Privilege Magazine?'
However, she wanted to see Nell standing in front of her office.
"Alright, let's make a bet like this. However, I'm worried that some people will go back on their word. So, I think that since it's a bet, of course we have to leave a certificate!" Crystal suggested. "No problem!"
Nell agreed.
With that, the two of them drew up a bet and both signed their names on the paper.
With the bet in her hand, Crystal left Nell's company.
After Crystal left, Nell felt like she had won. She let out her breath and sat on her chair.
However, after sitting down, Nell began to have a headache.
It was easy to talk big, but it was a bit difficult to do it later.
She held a pen in her hand and tapped the document in front of her.
If she wanted the magazine to sell well, she must have a burst point. The important thing was the cover of the magazine. Who should be invited for this issue of cover?
The person to be invited must have a position that could not be low.
Since it was a bet, Crystal would use all of her strength.
Nell flipped through the news, which showed the face of a newly promoted youth in the city, Kevin Wales.
Nell's eyes lit up.
For Kevin, it's easy for him to attract fans, and the ability of fans was particularly powerful.
'Great, if we can interview Kevin, the sales of our magazine will definitely increase, and the probability of winning over Privilege Magazine will rise.'
Thinking of this, Nell was ready to call her assistant to call the agent of Kevin.
Before she could call her assistant in, her phone rang first.
Seeing that it was Nataly, Nell picked up the phone. "Hello, Nataly, what's the matter?"
"You didn't forget about the date tonight, right?"
Nell smiled and narrowed her eyes. "Don't worry, I didn't forget. I will be there on time tonight."
