Everyone waited until the afternoon and the station let someone come over to count the number of people so they could distribute the lunchboxes.
The one walking at the very front of the staff bringing lunch was apparently the new president’s assistant and he was visiting the staff of different programs one by one to personally distribute lunch, notifying them that the new president was still in a meeting with the higher-ups but they had no idea when it would end. They apologized and asked that everyone wait a while longer because an even more important announcement would follow. He said all that in an extremely polite manner.
People guessed that it was the first fire the new president was starting.
The contents of the lunchboxes were plentiful, and soon, someone even sent over desserts, coffee, and milk tea, making everyone’s curiosity towards the new president reach a new peak.
The change in the president and vice presidents had led to a huge uproar and it wouldn’t be a small issue, so everyone held their breaths as they waited.
By 6.15p.m. in the evening, Miss Xia returned and simply summarized the change in the higher-ups in the station, and at 6.30p.m., all the television screens in the building displayed the new president giving her speech.
Out of everyone’s expectations, the new president was a young lady called Chu Qian.
On the screen, Chu Qian wore a black suit with a white silk blouse that had a v-collar, with a neat and pretty bow tied under her collar. Her center-parted black hair was tied up, revealing her full forehead and beautiful facial features, outlining her elegance and sharpness.
“This is our president? So young? Her looks wouldn’t lose to our female hosts! Could she be an assistant or secretary?”
At first, the ones who were most excited weren’t the male colleagues, but the women in the building as they whispered to each other, discussing Chu Qian’s looks and age.
The more curious ones searched for Chu Qian’s information online, if they hadn’t checked they wouldn’t have known anything… Once they checked, they received a huge shock, and soon, the legend of President Chu spread across the whole building.
33-year-old Chu Qian had won the highest award in the news industry, the Pulitzer Prize, as well as the Ronald Reagan Media Award.
She was once a war reporter that was on the front-line of the Iraq war and the Libyan Civil War, exposing the cruel murders committed upon the innocents by the soldiers, and the huge pain brought to the citizens by war.
She had also once infiltrated the Golden Triangle by herself and had faced a battle of wits against the drug dealers to collect information, almost losing her life in the Golden Triangle. But the information she brought back had been instrumental in taking down the criminal organization.
What was even more surprising was that their new president Chu Qian had infiltrated a terrorist group all because of one clue found in human trafficking news.
The internet even called Chu Qian “The Iron Lady of The News Industry”.
Chu Qian’s speech was simple and after it finished, Miss Xia gave everyone a short meeting before ending it all.
Lin Nuan was worried about Tuan Tuan and Song Yao alone at home so she wanted to go home first, while Bai Xiaonian said she wanted to stay in the building to get more information.
Lin Nuan entered the elevator and took out the phone in her pocket to see one missed call from Fu Huai’an.
She gripped her phone, hesitant on whether or not to call back. After all, Fu Huai’an’s son was at her place, maybe Fu Huai’an was calling to ask about Tuan Tuan.
