An Ling looked at Li Jiawei with difficulty and said, "Ms. Jiawei, the publication time of the October issue is imminent, and Ms. Chen Huaijin, as the subject of our interview, insisted that Yu Manqi participate in the production of the inner edition of the October issue. Do you think it is possible to coordinate this by adjusting the color of the photo to make it closer to the theme of the October issue? You know, many people who buy magazines nowadays don't have so many strict requirements for the inner edition photos. They only buy magazines because they like a certain star and buy them for the purpose of chasing stars."

Li Jiawei looked directly at An Ling. She was surprised that An Ling, as the editor-in-chief of "Meishang", would have such an irresponsible idea. However, she did not directly refuse, but just asked: "Besides this, do you have any other ideas?"

Seeing that Li Jiawei did not directly refuse, An Ling felt that there was room for maneuver, so he further explained: "Ms. Jiawei, although I also think that this is a bit far-fetched, it is not easy to invite Chen Huaijin. Besides, Yu Manqi is currently a rising star that Universal Pictures is promoting. Recently, both her exposure and fan base have increased greatly. In any case, with the support and participation of Chen Huaijin and Yu Manqi, the sales of the October issue will definitely not be bad."

Li Jiawei looked at An Ling, thought for a moment and said, "Editor-in-Chief An, as a veteran employee of 'Meishang', the board of directors has trusted you over the years, and you can say that they have almost entrusted the management of 'Meishang' to you. I thought you would treat 'Meishang' as your own business over the years, but your decision today disappoints me."

Upon hearing this, An Ling's eyes revealed shock, dissatisfaction, and confusion. He asked in a stiff tone, "Ms. Jiawei, what do you mean by this?"

Li Jiawei stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took out a stack of magazines, and gently placed them in front of An Ling: "Editor-in-Chief An, please take a look at these magazines. Perhaps they can awaken your memory of the enthusiasm when "Meishang" was first founded. My mother and her friends founded "Meishang" with the original intention of promoting Chinese aesthetics and fashion.

Over the years, although "Meishang" has maintained a certain reputation in the fashion industry, it is only "okay". You know, "Meishang" was once a leader in promoting Chinese fashion. And now? As the editor-in-chief of "Meishang", you seem to have forgotten our original intention while your power is growing. "

An Ling stared down at the stack of magazines. Although he felt nostalgic, he was more ashamed and angry at Li Jiawei's blunt words: "So what you mean is that this month's October issue will be vacant? Or can you personally convince Chen Huaijin to change her request?"

Li Jiawei said firmly: "Editor-in-Chief An, I hope that 'Meishang' can stick to its principles. And Chen Huaijin was invited by you, so you should handle and coordinate with her. Now, since Miss Yu's sample film does not meet the requirements, you should replace her. As for Chen Huaijin, you can communicate with her again. If she insists on having Miss Yu on the internal publication, then either Miss Yu reshoots the sample film according to our requirements, or we can only regretfully give up the cooperation with Chen Huaijin."

An Ling raised a smile and looked at Li Jiawei: "Ms. Jiawei, do you know how much effort I put in to invite Chen Huaijin? You just give up? Moreover, as a member of Universal Pictures, Chen Huaijin will naturally stand on Yu Manqi's side.

Ms. Jiawei, sticking to principles also depends on timing. If there is enough time, I will also support changing people in this situation. But now there are less than ten days before the magazine is published, and your insistence on principles will result in the October issue not being published on time. Do you think such persistence still makes sense?"

An Ling took a deep breath and continued, "Okay, even if we change people now, can we immediately find someone as famous as Chen Huaijin? If not, then 'Meishang' will become a laughing stock in the fashion industry. By then, let alone adhering to the principles of 'Meishang', I'm afraid we will have to stop publishing. Is this what you want to see?"

Li Jiawei stared at An Ling and said calmly, "Editor-in-Chief An, aren't you the one who caused the current situation? When all the work was almost completed in the middle of the month, you arbitrarily added interviewers without consulting with the various departments, disrupting all work plans and wasting the efforts of the previous team.

Now that time is running out, shouldn't you look for the reason in yourself? Why did you let 'Meishang' lower its standards and accept photos that don't match the theme for publication? And I, as the largest shareholder of 'Meishang', will never allow samples that don't meet the requirements to be published, do you understand?"

Seeing that Li Jiawei was so persistent and there was some anger in her tone, An Ling softened his attitude and said, "Ms. Jiawei, I hope you don't misunderstand me. I just want to increase the popularity of 'Meishang'."

Li Jiawei looked at An Ling and understood why An Ling was eager to interview Chen Huaijin, it was simply for her niece Vivian. Although she understood this, because everyone has selfish desires, but this selfish desire must not be based on trampling on the work results of others.

However, Li Jiawei did not expose An Ling's little thoughts, but said: "Editor-in-Chief An, I understand your difficulties. But you have to know that the popularity of "Meishang" is not built up by the fame of one person, but by the accumulation of "Meishang" step by step over the years and the publication of each magazine.

Moreover, every reader who buys "Meishang" magazine is our customer. They choose us because they trust and like "Meishang". What we have to do is to live up to the expectations of our customers and safeguard their rights. Maybe not everyone who buys "Meishang" magazine understands aesthetics, but this cannot be a reason for us to fool our customers! "

Seeing that he couldn't convince Li Jiawei, and An Ling couldn't directly deny her request like he would to a subordinate, he stood up and said to Li Jiawei: "I'm going to talk to Chen Huaijin now."

Li Jiawei smiled and responded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. No matter what the result of the communication is, give me a reply in half an hour."

An Ling looked at Li Jiawei who was determined and nodded: "Okay, Miss Jiawei."

Li Jiawei watched An Ling leave, and the smile on her face gradually faded. She stared at the photos on the table, sighed softly, and shook her head. In fact, she knew about Yu Manqi's series of unreasonable behaviors and demands today. But she originally thought that as a public figure, even if it was a little unreasonable, she would at least complete the filming work professionally. But now it seems that she had too high expectations of Yu Manqi's moral standards.

"Meishang" spent more than 200,000 yuan on Yu Manqi and her team today, not including other costs for preparing for the shoot. However, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to quickly determine whether Chen Huaijin will change his requirements or whether Yu Manqi is willing to cooperate with the shoot again.
