Chapter 290 Helplessness and Heartache



"Good, continue," Han Mengting nodded.

"Next, we need to divert traffic to expand our reader base. We at Penguin have two major social media platforms, QQ and WeChat, which make it very easy to drive traffic to Yunhai Literature. This is also a huge advantage for us. As long as we have top authors and guide the right amount of traffic, we can expand our reader community.

Once we have both authors and readers, catching up to and even surpassing Shengda Literature is just a matter of time," Zhao Yulu said.

"Yu Lu, it seems you have prepared well during this time, and my thoughts align with yours," Han Mengting said with satisfaction.

She had come to serve as President of Yunhai Literature and had naturally prepared for the role.

She already had a rough plan for where to start and how to develop the company.

Her questioning of Zhao Yulu was more of a test to see if she had been diligent in her work.

If Zhao Yulu had been clueless, Han Mengting would have been truly disappointed.

Zhao Yulu\'s responses were very good and satisfying, almost matching her own thoughts.

Shengda Literature is indeed the overlord of online literature at present.

But as the President of Yunhai Literature, she was confident about taking down Shengda Literature and making Yunhai Literature the new overlord of the online literature industry.

Her confidence laid not only in her self-belief but also in the backing of Penguin.

The fact that Shengda Literature had seventy percent of the high-quality authors wasn\'t scary at all.

Authors would move for money; those authors could be poached.

Backed by Penguin, Yunhai Literature really wasn\'t short on funds.

As for the readers, that wasn\'t an issue either.

Just like Zhao Yulu said, with QQ and WeChat, two massive social platforms by Penguin, driving traffic was extremely simple.

The reader base of Yunhai Literature could surpass Shengda Literature in a short time.

With authors and readers, Yunhai Literature surpassing the overall strength of Shengda Literature was just a matter of time.

"Yu Lu, I\'ll leave the task of poaching authors to you," Han Mengting said.

"Understood, President Han, I will handle this task well," Zhao Yulu responded confidently.

Evening.

Zhao Yulu returned home.

Liu Yujuan was at home. Seeing Zhao Yulu, she looked her up and down and couldn\'t help asking, "Yu Lu, you\'re dressed so formally; did you go for a job interview?"

For some time, Zhao Yulu had been at home.

Zhao Yulu hadn\'t told Liu Yujuan that she was going to work at Yunhai Literature.

"I didn\'t go for an interview; I went to work. I\'m hungry, is dinner ready?" Zhao Yulu put down her bag.

"It\'s ready. You went to work? I haven\'t seen you leave these past few days. Where did you start working at? Tell me about it," Liu Yujuan said.

"Mom, let\'s start eating, I\'ll tell you about it while we eat," Zhao Yulu said, heading to wash her hands.

"Okay, let\'s eat first," Liu Yujuan agreed.

Five minutes later, mother and daughter sat at the dining table.

"Come on, tell me, what company did you join?" Liu Yujuan asked.

"Yunhai Literature," Zhao Yulu replied.

"Another online literature company?" Liu Yujuan frowned slightly, feeling that such companies were not very promising and didn\'t make much money.

"Yes," Zhao Yulu nodded.

"Is it the same position as before, at Shengda Literature?" Liu Yujuan asked.

"No." Zhao Yulu shook her head.

"Then what position is it?" Liu Yujuan asked.

"President\'s assistant." A smile appeared on Zhao Yulu\'s face.

"What, the President\'s assistant? How did you manage that? You just applied directly, and they chose you to be the President\'s assistant? Besides, you\'ve been home these days; I haven\'t seen you go out for any interviews. Was it online application?"

Liu Yujuan was somewhat shocked and confused.

"Penguin failed to acquire Shengda Literature, so they acquired Yunhai Literature instead. They sent Han Mengting to be the president over there, and she called me to be her assistant," Zhao Yulu explained with a smile.

"I see. Did you already know about this? Why didn\'t you tell me?" Liu Yujuan realized, sounding somewhat reproachful.

"Nothing was final yet, so I didn\'t want to say anything. Otherwise, it would be just like last time—you would be disappointed," Zhao Yulu replied.

"That makes sense. Now that you\'re the President\'s assistant, could you arrange for me to work at Yunhai Literature? I\'m not asking for much, just a middle management position would be fine, like a supervisor or manager," Liu Yujuan said hopefully.

She couldn\'t just do nothing all the time, mainly because she had no money.

If she had money, not going to work wouldn\'t be an issue; she could go shopping, get beautified, or travel.

But without money, she couldn\'t do anything she wanted to do.

Most of the time, she could only stay at home, watch TV, or scroll through her phone, which was rather boring at times. It would be better to have a job.

"Mom, I can\'t arrange that. I\'ve just joined the company and haven\'t even secured my foothold yet. If I ask Han Mengting to help arrange a position, what do you think she\'d think of me?"

Zhao Yulu flatly refused.

She had become Han Mengting\'s assistant thanks to Han\'s appreciation.

To arrange for anyone, it would have to be approved by Han Mengting.

She had just started her job and hadn\'t yet accomplished anything noteworthy.

Now, to try and get someone a management position?

Han Mengting would probably think she was overstepping her bounds and could even fire her.

This was an important opportunity in her life, and she absolutely wouldn\'t allow anyone to ruin it, not even Liu Yujuan.

"How would she see it? You\'re her assistant, and I\'m your mom. Isn\'t asking her to arrange a job for me the most normal thing in the world?" Liu Yujuan was slightly discontented.

"Mom, can you be reasonable? This might seem natural to you, but others don\'t see it the same way," Zhao Yulu suddenly felt exasperated.

Her good mood of the day had now vanished completely because of Liu Yujuan\'s remark.

"How am I being unreasonable? You just don\'t want to arrange it, right? Now that you\'ve become the President\'s assistant, have you grown wings? Have you stopped caring about your mother?" Liu Yujuan wasn\'t the kind of person who could be reasoned with.

Of course, she believed that she was the reasonable one.

"Mom, I told you, I can\'t arrange it – I just can\'t. Why can\'t you understand me for once? I\'m only an assistant, not the President. You\'re asking me to do something impossible. Do you want to ruin my career before you\'ll be satisfied?" Zhao Yulu felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.

"How can you just not do it? I think you just don\'t want to. How would finding a job for me ruin your career?" Liu Yujuan persisted relentlessly.

Bang!

Zhao Yulu, feeling both wronged and angry, put down the bowl of rice she had barely touched and stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Liu Yujuan asked.

"I\'ve lost my appetite. I\'m going out to eat!"

Zhao Yulu\'s eyes brimmed with tears as she grabbed her purse and headed straight out the door.

She couldn\'t take it anymore.

Having such a mother left her feeling helpless and heartbroken.
