On Saturday, the qualifying race; on Sunday, the main race. In the F1 Singapore Grand Prix, Ferrari ultimately secured both the first and second places.
After watching the fireworks show at Marina Bay, Wen Jiaxuan and Wu Zehao took the last subway directly to Changi Airport, and then took a Singapore Airlines flight back to City H.
It was around 6 a.m. when they arrived in City H. Although the seats on Singapore Airlines were very comfortable and both of them slept well, they still caught up on their sleep after returning home.
When opening his eyes again, Wu Zehao was no longer around. Wen Jiaxuan picked up his phone from the bedside table and looked at it. It was almost eleven o’clock.
His body was so sore that Wen Jiaxuan tried to get up from the bed several times, but failed in the end.
It wasn’t really Wu Zehao’s “nightlife” that caused him to look like this; it was purely because the F1 race track was so vast. In order to capture good photos, Wen Jiaxuan followed Wu Zehao back and forth several times, and his legs were nearly exhausted.
This once again confirms what Wu Zehao said: the two of them went abroad not for tourism, but for work.
Wen Jiaxuan was wrapped up like a silkworm on the bed, tossing and turning. His will kept ordering his body to get up, but his body just wouldn’t obey.
In the end, Comrade Wen Jiaxuan chose to give up. He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to summon Wu Zehao, who was cooking downstairs, to come up and hug him out of bed, but then a message suddenly popped up in the WeChat dialog box.
[Editor Bai: There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to know first? ]
Wen Jiaxuan immediately forgot about the soreness in his body and got up from the bed. It seemed that the results of the primary election from Company A were out.
[++: Is the bad news bad? ]
[++: Let’s hear the good news first]
[++: Maomao can’t stand this grievance.jpg]
[Editor Bai: Zeyou Tourism passed the primary election]
Very good!
Wen Jiaxuan lifted the quilt and wanted to share the good news with his boss immediately, but it suddenly occurred to him that there was another piece of news that he had not heard, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
[++: What about the bad news? ]
[Editor Bai: RQ magazine has also passed the preliminary selection. They do both fashion and travel. Choosing them can kill two birds with one stone. Currently, there are more people in the editorial department who favor them]
Wen Jiaxuan had also heard the name of RQ magazine. It was a relatively large fashion magazine in China. It just started to get involved in the travel industry not long ago. Although it started late, it had a huge fan base and its user base was also growing very fast.
[++: But doesn’t the requirement say that one can only specialize in a field? ]
[Editor Bai: This is what the requirements say, but those who have both aspects in mind will definitely choose to do both]
Wen Jiaxuan suddenly thought of the complaints from college classmates about job hunting, saying that the recruitment requirements clearly stated a bachelor’s degree, but if there was a person who submitted a resume with a master’s degree, the first one to be discarded was the one with a bachelor’s degree.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
[++: So is RQ confirmed now? ]
[Editor Bai: Not sure yet. After the initial screening, we still have to see how the latest issue of the magazine looks. The editor-in-chief makes the final decision]

[++: As of now, where does Zeyou Travel rank? ]
[Editor Bai: Looking at travel alone, Zeyou Travel received the most votes]
[Editor Bai: To be honest, Zeyou is very unique. Each issue of the magazine is not just a simple introduction to scenery, but has a clear theme, and the articles are very in-depth. In my impression, there is a very nice article analyzing the situation in the Middle East.]

“My legs are sore and I can’t get up.” Wen Jiaxuan said while huddled in the quilt.
A few seconds later, Wu Zehao’s figure appeared on the stairs. He picked up Wen Jiaxuan’s slippers from the ground, and then lifted Wen Jiaxuan out of bed with one hand. Wen Jiaxuan wrapped his arms around Wu Zehao’s neck in cooperation, while his legs clamped around Wu Zehao’s waist to prevent himself from sliding down.
“Boss, you are so good.” Wen Jiaxuan smiled.
“If I am not good, you will not rely on me?”
Wu Zehao carried Wen Jiaxuan to the bathroom to wash up, then carried him to the dining table and asked him to sit down.
Wen Jiaxuan refused to let go of his hands, so Wu Zehao spanked him hard, and then he let go.
“Boss, have you figured out how to publish this magazine?” Wen Jiaxuan asked while slowly drinking fish soup.
“Same as usual.” Wu Zehao said, “What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t you going to participate in Company A’s project? You don’t have to do anything special?”
“That,” Wu Zehao paused, “it doesn’t matter.”
“What do you mean?” Wen Jiaxuan put down the bowl.
“I asked a friend of a friend to inquire about it, and Zeyou passed the primary election.”
“That’s good.” Wen Jiaxuan didn’t want Wu Zehao to know about the editorial department’s preference for RQ magazine. After all, the final result hadn’t come out yet and everything was uncertain, so he continued to pretend not to know.
However, Wu Zehao said: “But Company A has already reserved a magazine company internally, and it has nothing to do with us.”
Wen Jiaxuan was stunned: “Internal decision?”
Bai Sijun only said that the people in the editorial department tended to choose RQ magazine, but he never said that it had been confirmed.
The final result should be decided after reviewing the September issue of the magazine. If someone has decided before then, what is the point of doing the final review?
“Are you sure it’s internal decision?” Wen Jiaxuan asked.
“It should be.” Wu Zehao said, “Our opponent is RQ Magazine. They do both fashion and travel. They have a large fan base and have great advantages.”
“The number of fans shouldn’t be the decisive factor, right?” Wen Jiaxuan was puzzled. “A big company like Company A must have many promotion channels, so how can it put fans as the most important thing?”
“If you don’t consider the fashion aspect and only look at the tourism field, RQ is indeed not as good as us, but their advantage is that they have two specialization, which cannot be denied.”
The more Wen Jiaxuan listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. He realized that Wu Zehao had heard the same news as him, but he thought he could still struggle a little longer, while Wu Zehao thought that his magazine was not as good as others.
He frowned and said, “Boss, do you want to give up?”
“This is not called giving up.” Wu Zehao said, “There is no need to fight for things that are hopeless in the first place.”
“How can this be called a hopeless?” Wen Jiaxuan suddenly felt angry and slapped his chopsticks on the table with dissatisfaction. “The final result hasn’t come out yet. You just quit voluntarily when you hear that others have high hopes. Have you always been such a boss?”
Wu Zehao breathed out: “Jiajia, competition depends largely on luck.”
“What do you mean?” Wen Jiaxuan asked, “Isn’t it based on strength?”
“Strength is part of it, but luck is also essential.” Wu Zehao said, “Just like when you take the civil service exam, no matter how strong you are, as long as you meet an opponent who is stronger than you, you can only admit defear.”
Wen Jiaxuan frowned and wanted to refute, but couldn’t think of a logical breakthrough for the moment.
“Or let me put it more bluntly,” Wu Zehao paused, “If you want to win, the key is not to see how good you are, but to see how bad your opponent is.”
“I think you’re not quite right,” Wen Jiaxuan shook his head instinctively. “Doesn’t your statement negate the presence of effort? If everyone followed that approach, nobody would make an effort, and we’d only compete with those who are worse than us.”
“That’s not the case. Excellent and bad are relative. The function of hard work is to reduce the chance of meeting someone better.”
Wen Jiaxuan couldn’t help it. He picked up his chopsticks and stirred the fish in the bowl to a pulp, complaining: “Since you said competition depends on the opponent, can’t you study the opponent more and finally make a desperate counterattack?”
“It’s not that easy.” Wu Zehao said lightly.
Stinky boss, I really misjudged you!
Wen Jiaxuan angrily shoveled food into his mouth, thinking his boss could do anything, only to realize that even the most fundamental resilience was lacking.
If it weren’t for resilience and determination, could I, Wen Jiaxuan, stay here? Wouldn’t Wu Zehao have multiple wives by now?
He also asked him to work hard for the exam. To put it nicely, he gave up so early when it came to him. How could he have such double standards!
Wen Jiaxuan finished eating angrily, put down his chopsticks, and wiped his mouth carelessly: “I won’t wash the dishes today!”
He came to the sofa in the living room, picked up his laptop, found the official website of RQ magazine, and began to study his opponents carefully.
The travel journals of RQ Magazine were indeed not as good as those of Zeyou Travel. They were very simple travel notes. What preparations were made before departure, what attractions were visited along the way, what happened, etc. There were a lot of similar travel notes on the M platform.
Wen Jiaxuan read it for a long time, but he really couldn’t see what was good about this journal.
After working with Wu Zehao for three months, he gained some working experience. It was obvious that the layout of this magazine was not as good as Zeyou’s, and the quality of the pictures was not as high as Zeyou’s.
Wait, Wen Jiaxuan suddenly thought that the main specialization of RQ magazine was in the field of fashion. Perhaps their advantages in fashion were so obvious that they can cover up their shortcomings in the field of tourism.
Thinking of this, Wen Jiaxuan closed the page of the travel journal and opened the fashion section.
The fashion section was obviously much more mature, and it could be seen from the number of gg that it was unusual.
Wen Jiaxuan pursed his lips, subconsciously not wanting to admit that his opponent was excellent, but after reading for a while, he still had to say that RQ Magazine did a good job.
He intuitively clicked on the beauty section on the catalog page, because the title of this section was followed by the letters “cos me”, which comes from Japanese and means “cosmetics”.
日本动不动就搞cos me大赏，文佳轩想不认识都难。
Japan always holds cos me awards, and it was hard not to recognize Wen Jiaxuan.
Facts have proved that this section did have a Japanese fresh style. The pictures were all light green and light blue, which looks quite pleasing to the eye.
Wen Jiaxuan couldn’t understand those cosmetics. He casually glanced at the text next to the cosmetic pictures to see how good the editor was. However, at this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the text.
Many people know that there were many Chinese characters in Japanese, and the pronunciation of many Japanese words was still using the sound passed down from the Southern Dynasties. But despite this, there were obvious differences between Japanese and Chinese, which were reflected in the way of thinking of Japanese and Chinese people.
Wen Jiaxuan was a translator, and he knew very well what adjustments needed to be made when translating Japanese so that the translated article did not have “translation accents” and read smoothly.
People who don’t understand foreign languages may not be able to sense the translation accent, but a professional translator will definitely be able to read it.
The text that Wen Jiaxuan saw now had a strong Japanese translation accent. It was a translation at first glance. He could even restore the original Japanese through these few Chinese sentences.
Wen Jiaxuan found it strange. He flipped through this section from beginning to end and could not see the source of these beauty introductions, but he was sure that these words were definitely translated from Japanese.
What’s going on?
Man I have no idea what’s going on either 😭😭 Is it because RQ Magazine copied someone??
Oho i smell plagiarism 👀
