"Vivian, why are you so late? Something big has happened!"
Hearing that, Vivian regained her senses immediately. When she saw other colleagues were also looking at her with worried expressions on their faces, she felt like something terrible happened.
"What's going on?" queried Vivian with a stern expression on her face.
"Our magazine company was acquired by a big company!" replied Sarah nervously.
Vivian was shocked at the former's words and frowned as she asked, "What? Why didn't I receive the news from the head office? Who did you hear that from?"
Right when Sarah was about to answer the former, another colleague cut her off, "This morning, a person who claimed to be the general manager's assistant of Century Media came and informed us that our magazine company was acquired by their company. But there is no manpower shift within our company. You're still the Chief Editor. Oh, by the way, he asked you to attend a meeting in their company this afternoon."
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that because there was a silver lining in the incident. At least there's no personnel change. Otherwise, I won't know how to explain to the colleagues with whom I interact on a daily basis. But that's odd! This incident happens too abruptly. I haven't heard anything about this before.As far as I know, Century Media is an entertainment company that has been progressing well and has a good reputation in the industry.Since they had bought over our magazine company, it's weird that they don't make any personnel changes and still keep current
staff.Although this is what made me felt relieved, it doesn't make sense at all.
With those thoughts running wild in her head, Vivian had a bad premonition. She felt that something terrible was about to happen.
"Alright. At the very least, there's no personnel change in our company. This is not a bad thing. We can still work together. Get back to your work now. I'll tell you more about that after I attend the meeting later."
