Not long after clicking publish, Dong Jiaqi received an email.

Uh, it was sent from the editor-in-chief?

Could it be that the previously published article was rejected?

Although she clicked publish.

But this does not mean that the article can directly face readers.

It also needs to be reviewed and checked for errors.

Could it be that there are some variables involved?

Dong Jiaqi couldn't help but feel very uneasy.

Although the level of analytical articles she writes is average.

But after all, she sacrificed her time to play and worked overtime to get it done.

It would be really miserable if the manuscript was rejected.

Wait, aren’t rejections usually automatically responded to by the system?

And why is it an email from the editor-in-chief?

Although Dong Jiaqi is nominally under the supervision of the chief editor.

But there is no direct intersection between the two.

After all, there are three positions between Dong Jiaqi and the chief editor: deputy editor, chief editor, and deputy chief editor.

Normally, Dong Jiaqi rarely interacts with the editor-in-chief directly.

Why did the editor-in-chief find her directly now?

Jumping ahead of others in the workplace has always been a taboo.

Whether it's an upward leap or a downward leap.

Dong Jiaqi couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Could it be that she accidentally got into some trouble?

With anxiety, Dong Jiaqi clicked on the email.

The editor-in-chief sent the last article Dong Jiaqi commented on "2048" by email.

And asked in the email whether this article was written by Dong Jiaqi himself.

Dong Jiaqi couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart. Could it be that she really got into trouble?

What kind of trouble can an article analyzing a game get into?

However, she still responded to the editor-in-chief's email very carefully.

Even though there was a lot of typing in the email.

But in fact, the whole content can be replaced by the word "is".

But even though I typed a lot of words densely.

Dong Jiaqi was still a little worried that she hadn't made the matter clear.

Just when Dong Jiaqi was thinking about whether to send another email to further explain the situation.

I received another email from the editor-in-chief.

This time it was the editor-in-chief who sent a lot of text in the email.

It seems to have been prepared in advance.

I saw the email saying:

"Hello Ms. Dong Jiaqi!

In your article analyzing why the game "2048" is so popular, you accurately predicted the next game of GRAY FOREST.

And it has been actually verified...

Because you have shown extremely high knowledge in the game market.

After careful consideration by the editorial board, we decided to recommend him to work in the marketing department of a game-loving company.

Or you can choose to stay in the editorial department and plan to be promoted to editor-in-chief.

You are independently responsible for the operation of a column. As for the new column, it is completely planned by you...

The editorial board will respect your opinion on how to choose."

After reading through the email from the editor-in-chief, Dong Jiaqi felt like she was on a roller coaster.

Just because her previous comments about "2048" were almost like wild guesses.

Is there such a good thing?

This was so dramatic that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Well, it seems that there is no compatibility between GRAY FOREST and her.

It's simply her lucky star.

See it from the email.

Is this the rhythm of a counterattack in the workplace?

Even if you can't make a comeback, you still need to get a proper promotion and salary increase.

The most exaggerated thing is that she, a social creature, still has a choice?

I have to say that this feeling is amazing.

Of course, it just feels amazing.

Although Dong Jiaqi is new to the workplace.

But it is not the same as being a novice in the workplace.

She still knew it very well, even though the email gave two choices.

But in fact, the only choice Dong Jiaqi can make is the latter.

That is to say, stay in the editorial department.

After all, the email was sent by the editor-in-chief.

The so-called "carefully considered by the editorial board" in the email is completely official.

The actual editorial board is not the editor-in-chief alone who has the final say.

If she really said stupidly that she wanted to go to the marketing department that loves to play games, it would be basically equivalent to the two choices provided in the email being overwhelming.

Her situation in the future may even be worse than now.

So Dong Jiaqi replied to the editor-in-chief's email without much thought.

Dong Jiaqi expressed her willingness to continue to shine in the editorial department.

As for the new column or something.

It is best if the editor-in-chief can provide guidance.

Anyway, I am just afraid of flattery and taking the trouble to show my loyalty...

Although Dong Jiaqi doesn't like this formalism either.

But people cannot help themselves in the world.

When everyone around you is doing the same.

What was originally a normal behavior has become unusual.

In order not to become an outlier, so...

anyway.

Dong Jiaqi also cherishes the opportunity to stay in the editorial department.

After all, even if she continues to stay in the editorial department, she will no longer be a hard-working game editor.

Instead, become an editor-in-chief.

Although we are still working as workers, the situation has at least improved a little bit.

It perfectly realizes the progression from low-level workers to mid-level workers.

Although this is only a small step.

But if everything goes according to plan.

She went from editor to deputy editor to chief editor.

It will take at least three to ten years.

All in all, Dong Jiaqi is satisfied with this result.

…

It seems that Dong Jiaqi's "correct" attitude satisfies the editor-in-chief.

She soon received an email reply from the editor-in-chief.

In the email, the editor-in-chief stated that he would repay Dong Jiaqi this month’s salary in accordance with the editor-in-chief’s standards.

As for the new column established.
