Chapter 84: Refusal
"Miss Sophia, you know that I have a newspaper, and I would like to invite you to come to my newspaper as deputy general manager, and everything is treated in the best. β
Xu Qing thought about it for a while, but still said the purpose directly.
"I know your newspaper, Carney, right?" asked Sophia.
"Carney has been spun off from the Carney Group and has become a subsidiary of the Sunlight Group, now called Sunlight.
Moreover, Sunlight Newspaper has acquired the Bay Area Times, which used to be one of the three major newspapers in the Bay Area, and now has more than 300 employees and a newspaper circulation of more than 50,000 copies, making it one of the top 10 newspapers in the Bay Area."
Xu Qing said about the current situation of the Sunlight newspaper.
"I remember that Carney was a small newspaper with only a few dozen people, but in just a few months, it has become a newspaper with more than 300 people. β
Sophia praised Xu Qing sincerely.
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed: "Miss Sophia, don't praise me, the development of the Sunlight newspaper has nothing to do with me, I am only responsible for the money, and the specific work is done by the people of the newspaper." β
Sophia blinked: "Mr. Xu, don't be modest, how to develop the newspaper without money, your credit is the greatest." β
Xu Qing found that the topic was off track, and hurriedly pulled it back: "Miss Sophia, are you willing to come to the Sunlight Newspaper? I admire your ability, if you can come, I believe that the Sunlight Newspaper will soon become the largest newspaper in the Bay Area." β
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for affirming my ability, I am very honored, but I'm sorry, I don't want to work in the newspaper now. Sophia apologized.
Xu Qing was a little anxious, he didn't expect Sophia to quit the press so resolutely, it seems that something has happened in the past few months that has changed Sophia very much.
But Sophia didn't say it, and Xu Qing didn't want to ask,
Xu Qing didn't want to give up Sophia, an excellent talent, and started performing:
"Miss Sophia, I don't know why you don't want to work at the newspaper, I don't ask you, I respect your privacy.
You are a very good person, both in terms of your talent and your appearance and figure.
To be honest, I like you, not only because of your appearance and figure, but more importantly, because of your talent, I am deeply attracted to you.
You're the best journalist I've ever met, Johansen, the managing director of Sunlight, a former reporter for the Los Angeles Times, and you should know him.
He said that if Miss Sophia could come to the Sunlight newspaper, he would be willing to give up her position as general manager.
Your talent shouldn't be buried in a damn advertising agency, forgive my foul language, I don't like advertising agencies very much, that's a bunch of companies that don't have human rights.
Miss Sophia, I really want you to come to the Sunlight office.
I'm still going to be in New York for about 10 days, and I hope you can give me a clear answer in the next 10 days.
Oh, please don't understand that I'm forcing you, it's okay if you don't give a reply, we're still friends. β
Xu Qing had a rich expression and sincere feelings when he spoke, and felt that this was a successful performance, which should be able to impress Sophia.
"You're lying, you say you like me, so why don't you pursue me?" Sophia rolled her eyes.
"Well, for the emotional aspect, I am fate, if one day I suddenly pursue you, don't be surprised, if I haven't pursued you, don't be surprised, everything is fate. β
Xu Qing casually.
Sophia looked at Xu Qing fixedly, and smiled again, Xu Qing was a little surprised, Sophia's beauty was the top.
"Mr. Xu, I don't know if what you said is true or false, I don't care, I thank you very much, you are a billionaire and you are very busy every day.
And being able to spend time talking to me so much and putting on a wonderful show, and you did all this to get me to the Sunlight office.
I'm just an ordinary woman, it's not worth your effort to convince me, thank you for your affirmation. β
Sophia once again politely declined Xu Qing's invitation.
Xu Qing felt tired, not only because Sophia had repeatedly refused, but also because his performance had failed.
He aspires to become a master of deception like Brother Da Ma and conquer others with deception.
In his previous life, Brother Ma's ability to fool was unrivaled, and hundreds of millions of people were fooled by him.
Xu Qing still has a long way to go if he wants to become a fool master like Brother Da Ma!
All kinds of messy thoughts flashed through Xu Qing's mind, and he quickly threw them away, looking at Sophia's bright eyes with a sincere expression, Xu Qing swore that this time his expression was absolutely sincere.
"I thought that the performance just now would make you agree, but I was too naΓ―ve, no matter what, my invitation to you has always been valid, when do you want to come to the Sunlight newspaper, please let me know. β
"If I wanted to work at a newspaper, I would go to Sunlight. Sophia also looked at Xu Qing.
"Very good, I think that day will come soon. Xu Qing clapped his hand.
"Mr. Xu, do you want me to fail the interview? Sophia said angrily.
Xu Qing smiled: "Of course I hope that you keep failing the interview, and then you have to come to the Sunlight Newspaper Office." β
"I kept failing interviews, which doesn't mean that my skills are very poor, I can't even find a job, and I don't dare to go to the Sunlight newspaper. "Sophia countered Xu Qing's army.
"It's not that you're incompetent, it's that you're not fit for a job outside of journalism. β
"Mr. Xu, I admire your ability to quibble. β
"It's my pleasure. β
"Your skin is as thick as your height. β
"It's only one meter eight thick, it's a bit thin!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Let's not call you sir, miss, that's too polite. β
"Okay, Mr. Xu. β
β¦β¦
Xu Qing and Sophia laughed and came to the downstairs of the company where Sophia was interviewing, Xu Qing waved goodbye and left.
It's 9 o'clock in the morning, and Xu Qing and the owner of the shop he inspected today agreed on 9:30 a.m.
The address of the shop is not far from the company that Sophia interviewed, and there is still half an hour, which is enough, Xu Qing and the three of them immediately walked in the direction of the store.
"Xu, I think you're in love. Carlyle looked at Xu Qing's expression and said suddenly.
"I'm in love?" Xu Qing was puzzled.
"The smile on your face is the one that only comes when you're in love. Carlyle explained.
"Who am I in love with?" Xu Qing spread his hands.
"Miss Sophia. Carlyle replied.
"Miss Sophia is excellent, but not enough for me to fall in love with her. Xu Qing shook his head.
Carlyle's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was horrified: "Xu, you don't really like men, do you?" β
"Carlyle, you really want to go to Ark's Bar. Xu Qing's eyes squinted at Carlyle.
"No, I'm kidding, women are the coolest, that feeling, wow! Carlyle made an exaggerated sound.
"Women are the coolest?!That is to say, you have also men, and then found that men are not as cool as women. Xu Qing looked at Carlyle in horror.
"That's not what I meant, I mean it's normal to like women, you know what I mean. Carlyle quickly explained.
"Carlyle, I know what you mean, I won't discriminate against you, I'll bless you. Xu Qing patted Carlyle on the shoulder.
"I like women!" shouted Carlyle.
The women on the street were surprised when they heard Carlyle's voice, and they looked at Carlyle as if they were looking at a neuropath, and they avoided it.
Xu Qing immediately grabbed Carlyle: "Okay, stop shouting, we know you like women." β
