Female Novel
Chapter 79
Grace Smith was shocked. She never expected that Hermione Lowe could regain her composure in
such a short time, and she was already prepared to start work. She was really a powerful woman!
"Yes, I was pursuing that degree." Grace didn't hide the truth. "But I was unable to graduate due to
some personal reasons."
She thought that Hermione Lowe would mind her lack of a degree, which was the greatest pain for her.
But Hermione immediately said, "It's not the point -you not having graduated. When I looked at your
resume, I know that you have done a lot of work."
"They were all part-time jobs." Grace Smith said, "For the past five years, I've done dozens of
parttimejobs." She explained.
Hermione Lowe, on the other hand, was taken aback. "Those were not written on the resume."
"Yes," Grace agreed. "Those part-time jobs were not worth mentioning, and they were not great either.
Some of them did not require much technical skills." She continued.
Thinking of the past, she bitterly raised the corner of her mouth, but then her eyes were at peace.
"Do you still want to go back to study?" Hermione asked.
Grace Smith looked at her in surprise, she then smiled and shook her head.
"You're hesitating. You actually want to." Hermione pointed out.
Grace was embarrassed again. "It seems that I can't hide anything from you. Yes, I want to, but I can't."
She answered bitterly.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Because of my current circumstances," Grace said. "I might continue studying when the time is right,
but not now."
"Do you still want to resign now that I'm here?" Hermione asked.
Grace Smith didn't expect Hermione Lowe to change the subject so quickly. She then smiled and said,
"To be honest, I still want to leave."
"What would be the reason?" Hermione Lowe asked.
Grace Smith smiled but didn't have the nerves to say it. In fact, she felt that Entertainment Daily was
not a positive place to work at. What kind of future was there in spreading gossip about others all day
long?
She thought that the news should be positive and motivating, even if it was entertainment news, it
should also bring good to the people.
However, this was obviously not the case here.
"Let me decipher the reason then." Hermione Lowe smiled and said, "First of all, Lorenzo Chen
harassed you but he didn't succeed. He then got angry out of embarrassment and gave you more
trouble at work."
Grace Smith's eyes widened in surprise as she was touched by Madam Lowe's trust.
"Secondly," Hermione paused for a moment before continuing, "It must have something to do with the
working environment at Entertainment Daily. You don't like this place."
Grace Smith looked at her in a daze. Hermione Lowe was indeed, very observant!
"In other words, you think that the ethics here are too low." Hermione stared at Grace as she spoke.
"Grace, these are the reasons, am I right?"
"I have to admit that you are very observant, Madam Lowe. Indeed, the main reason is that I am
retaliating because of the harassment, and the other reason is that I'm not used to this kind of
workplace." Grace admitted.
"Low-quality entertainment news, lack of ambition, and the ability to be a role model to the public.
Those sensual articles could only be topics of conversation during leisure time and meals, but there's
no power in bringing spiritual comfort to the people." Hermione Lowe said.
"Entertainment Daily had already gone off tangent from its original objectives."
"Over the years, I have realized this, but I didn't make up my mind to clean up the mess." She
continued.
"Now, after a painful lesson, I plan to re-enter the workplace and rekindle my initial objectives."
Hermione Lowe said those words calmly, and in a serious tone. Looking at Grace, sincerity was clear in
her eyes. "I really want to continue my dream of building the reputation of Entertainment Daily. As we
are going along with the interests of the public, we can also become a source of motivation to the
public, instead of going after the trend in exposing gossip and violating personal privacy. We should
only spread positive energy."
"I now invite you to assist me, are you willing to come with me?" Hermione Lowe asked.
It was hard for people to face and admit their shortcomings, but Hermione Lowe not only admitted them
calmly, but also took actions to correct them.
Grace Smith had never met such a woman like Hermione Lowe.
After a moment of hesitation, Grace then asked, "Will Director Chen still be here anymore?"
"Huh—" Hermione Lowe chucked. This time, it was a hearty laugh. "Him? No, he won't. He has been
locked up at home and won't be allowed to go out. He won't dare to come out again.
"Okay, I'm willing to stay then." Grace immediately agreed.
"Well, let's do this together!" Hermione stood up and reached out her hand.
Grace immediately stood up and reached out to shake Hermione Lowe's hand.
She found that there were rough calluses on Hermione's palms.
Grace felt a twitch in her heart. This was a woman who had done chores at home.
She began to heighten her respect towards Hermione Lowe. She held Hermione's hand firmly and
said, "Madam Lowe, I will try my best."
"Thank you." Hermione thanked her and motioned for her to sit. "I have a plan. Let's talk about it."
"Okay." Grace Smith agreed.
The two of them started the discussion.
At Jones Estate.novelbin
Heinz Jones arrived at the office early in the morning. He lit a cigarette, then took out his cell phone.
Lazily, he leaned back in his chair and called Grace Smith on the phone.
As Grace was just coming out of the director's room, her heart was filled with joy. Madam Lowe was a
rare woman with a strong ambition.
As soon as she returned to her seat, the phone rang.
She glanced at it and found that it was the annoying Heinz Jones. Then, she hung up replied with a
quick message.
Heinz Jones saw the message: "At work."
Heinz Jones raised his eyebrows slightly and took a drag on his cigarette. Then, Heinz Jones pressed
a button on the phone and said, "Lester, come in."
"Yes, President," Lester answered.
One minute later, Lester entered the room.
"President, are you looking for me?" Lester asked.
"Find out the future plans of Entertainment Daily." Heinz Jones commanded.
"I just received a news that Lorenzo Chen's wife, Hermione Lowe took over Entertainment Daily. She
was talking to Miss Smith for about an hour." Lester said.
When Heinz heard these pieces of news, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lester. His eyes
flashed with a trace of contemplation.
Lester looked at the President and said, "President, Hermione Lowe has been taking care of her
children and her father for the past few years. She has a good relationship with her father. Not long
ago, her father passed away due to an illness, so she has more time on her hands now."
"So, Hermione Lowe is a filial daughter, isn't she?" Heinz Jones asked.
"She should be," Lester replied.
Heinz thought for a while and said in a deep voice, "Continue to keep an eye on what's going on."
"Yes!" Lester said.
Lester quickly came out of the President's office and arranged for his subordinates to continue keeping
an eye on the matter.
At lunchtime.
Hermione Lowe came out of the director's office and said to everyone, "Let's hold a simple meeting. I
have some things to announce."
Everyone was waiting for Hermione to speak.
"In the future, I will be the chief editor here. Every one of you will have your salary adjusted, and you
will be promoted by two levels." She announced.
Clap, clap, clap—
Applause rang around the room like thunder.
Hermione Lowe looked at everyone, then raised her hand to indicate for everyone to stop.
"After lunch, let's draw up a new company direction and see how Entertainment Daily will be operating
in the future. Think about it over lunch. This meeting is now over." Hermione Lowe added.
Her words were clear and simple.
"Grace, let's have lunch together," Hermione Lowe said.
"Okay." Grace agreed and followed Hermione to the cafeteria.
The two of them sat down at a table. "I've seen Lorenzo Chen's key arrangements and company plans.
Did you plan to ask for a sponsorship from Heinz Jones?" Hermione Lowe asked.
