"The other girl has an idea," she said, moving closer to Michelle. "Do you know that newcomer cfrom the York Corporation?" Michelle looked at her. "Who?" "It's Nina," she replied. "I heard she used to work for Mr. York. Maybe she can help." Michelle was surprised. She had no interest in the backgrounds of people at the television station. If it did not help her work, she did not need to know.

If she could solve the problem of interviewing Mr. York, the chief editor would surely be pleased, and she wouldn't worry about promotion.
It was no wonder the chief editor had given such an important task to Nina. The chief editor valued Nina's previous experience at the York Corporation, and Michelle could not underestimate her.
The next day, Michelle's first stop at the television station was Nina's desk. Nina was just about to go out. She had recently learned from an online friend that an orphanage was on the verge of closing down, leaving fifty children homeless.

She had just finished organizing when Michelle intercepted her. Nina looked at her and asked, "What's up?" Michelle sized up Nina for a moment before crossing her arms. "Your former boss was Mr. York, right?" Nina had not figured out her intention yet. "Yes, what about it?" Michelle seemed to be extending an olive branch. "Since you're from the York Corporation and have dealt with Mr. York before, why don't you joinfor his interview?" Nina did not even hesitate. "I have to go out, I'm afraid I don't have tto accompany you." At Nina's words, Michelle's expression changed, and her tone becmore severe. "Nina, I invited you to participate in Mr. York's interview and you say you don't have time? Do you know what you're saying? Many people would be grateful for this opportunity. Even if it's just sharing a byline, it's a great honor. And you're saying you don't have time? Do you even realize what you're saying!" She was extending an olive branch, and others would be ecstatic. Even if the interview was published with just a shared byline, it would still be a tremendous honor.
Nina had intended to walk past her, but her sudden words made Nina chuckle for a moment.
She looked up at Michelle again. "Of course, I know what I'm saying. I decline your offer." "But Michelle wants you to be her partner. Why won't you go?" The other two girls did not quite understand. "This is such a great opportunity, much better than sitting here typing away." "If it were me, I'd jump at the chance. Opportunities like this are what make a person stand out. Aren't you being silly?"
Michelle gave a cold snort and then felt that Nina's' perspective was shallow. "Look at the people in this office. How many of them want to collaborate with me? You, being new here probably don't even know my reputation. The news stories I've done have millions of shares!"
Nina originally did not want to expose her, but since Michelle insisted on saying so, she had no choice but to respond. "Did you manage to secure the interview?" Michelle's expression darkened, and seeing so many people in the office, she also needed to save face. "Nina, what's with your attitude?" Nina continued, "If you did manage to secure it, would you cto me?
Knowing your personality, you'd I probably want to take all the credit. You're prly-looking to use me, help you get it, then it's no longer my concern."
