“That’s right, I hope she can be included in the selection list.”
“Is this considered pulling strings?” Director Tang laughed. “I heard Director Wei never does this sort of thing.”
“There’s always a first time,” he also smiled. “If she’s a promising talent, it would be a pity to miss her, and naturally your organization would want to recruit her. But if she’s not as good as others, even if I put in a word, it won’t help, right?”
Director Tang stared at him for a long time.
“I thought you wanted to use our organization’s name to secure her admission, with funding provided by you…”
“We both know I’m not stingy,” Wei Zhanyi laughed. “I’m just proposing a candidate. As for the selection results, I don’t want to control them. I believe your newspaper doesn’t want to spend money supporting a freeloader, right?”
Director Tang smiled meaningfully. “The candidates we select from Super Daily are all excellent. Does this mean you have great confidence in her?”
“She has confidence in herself,” Wei Zhanyi’s tone carried an unmistakable pride.
“Does this young lady know about your visit today?”
“No, and it’s best she never knows.” He returned an equally meaningful look, politely hinting that Director Tang should not say more.
“May I ask who this young lady is…” Anyone who could make Wei Zhanyi go to such lengths must not be an ordinary person.
Wei Zhanyi stood up and buttoned his suit. “You know, the position of Madam Wei is still vacant.”
Director Tang was stunned. “I see… No wonder you would use ‘that’ as an exchange.”
He smiled slightly. “Goodbye.
No problem.
“It’s nothing, just thinking that as soon as you thaw out, you’ll cause such a big mess, and you’ll probably be sent back to the freezer.”
Qing Yan had a murderous expression on her face. If it weren’t for Yun Rou holding her back, she would have already made the other person feel how big her foot could be.
“Don’t look so smug. Fighting with me won’t be easy when you go back to Super Daily, right?”
Yu Jing Wei looked uncomfortable. “What does this have to do with you?”
It was the peak traffic hour, with every taxi full. Yun Rou stood by the roadside, trying hard to hail a cab, not wanting to get involved in their verbal sparring. If she tried to mediate, with a personality like “Ma Ji’s”, she would definitely be flattened and kicked aside in the first moment.
Watching taxi after taxi pass by, she had to borrow Qing Yan’s phone to call a radio taxi.
Five minutes later, the car arrived. Qing Yan got in triumphantly, and Yun Rou hesitated before getting in.
“Excuse me… where are you going?”
Yu Jing Wei casually mentioned a location.
“It’s on our way, we might as well drop you off.” Yun Rou’s gentle smile made it hard to refuse. “Get in quickly! Taxis are hard to catch!”
Yu Jing Wei bit her lip, looked at her watch, and finally got in the car.
“Second Sister, why did you let her get in?” Qing Yan complained casually, but not too seriously.
“Qing Yan!” Yun Rou spoke in a low voice.
Yu Jing Wei sat in the front seat and suddenly spoke: “I’m not afraid of the newspaper punishing me. I just completed a unique exclusive interview, with a big halo over my head. You’d better be careful!”
“What should I be careful about? Our magazine’s editor-in-chief might even praise me and put us on the front page news.”
Heaven knows how the editor-in-chief would hunt her down – but who cares, she’ll bluff first!
Yu Jing Wei smoothed her hair, sweetly sarcastic: “Right, after all, your magazine is so small and insignificant, you can only gain fame through such methods.”
Qing Yan was furious. “You…!”
“Driver, please let me off at this intersection.” She turned back and thanked Yun Rou, then leisurely got off.
“Hey, at least pay for your share of the ride!” She rolled down the window and shouted, her hair standing on end from anger. She wasn’t usually this petty, but she was truly provoked!
Yun Rou pulled her back to sit down. “Driver, please continue.”
“Second Sister!”
“Shut up.” Although Yun Rou was gentle, she could be quite fierce when she was serious.
After running a thoroughly professional and explosive news story, she felt all her cells were alive. The entire afternoon, she excitedly stayed at the magazine, writing the Shunfeng Construction report and completing several interview drafts to submit.
Because of the incident at the police station, the editor-in-chief was too lazy to talk to her, and would involuntarily reach for blood pressure medication whenever he saw her face.
“Super Daily got a big exclusive!” Xiao Ke suddenly ran in shouting: “Yu Jing Wei’s interview with Wei Zhan Yi!”
“What!?” She jumped up, almost screaming.
She had just started writing about Wei Zhan Yi, and he had actually given an interview, and moreover… to Yu Jing Wei!?
Those memories, that time, that place, were like a secret garden known only to the two of them. But the thought that he might have taken another woman there felt like some sacred meaning had been destroyed! That place was no longer his secret garden for confiding, nor did it have the “heart-to-heart moment” she thought existed. Instead… it was nothing but a trap! A despicable trap to seduce women, a shameless ploy to make women both pitiful and loving towards him!
Strange, why should she be angry? He was free to do as he pleased. Yes, his freedom!
But why did she feel like her hair was about to catch fire?
“I’m going to settle the score with him!”
She grabbed her bag and rushed to the elevator, furiously pressing the button. Seeing the large metal box climbing slowly, she suddenly turned and dashed towards the emergency exit.
Climbing stairs would be faster. She couldn’t wait to deal with that bastard!
Suddenly, the phone rang, and Xiao Ke picked up. “Qing Yan, it’s your call.”
“Tell him I’m going to kill someone, ask him to leave his name, I’ll call back,” she shouted while walking, not looking back.
“The other party says you must answer, or you’ll regret it.”
Qing Yan strode forward, suddenly realizing that only Wei Zhan Yi would be so unreasonable. She quickly took three steps at a time and rushed to the nearest phone.
“Three lines.”
As soon as she picked up, she immediately started cursing: “Wei Zhan Yi, you despicable person, I’ll never let you off…”
“Hello, I’m the editor-in-chief of Super Daily, Tang Yao De.” From the other party’s warm tone, a barely suppressed laugh could be heard.
She was so angry she was confused. “Are you here to boast that you got Wei Zhan Yi’s exclusive interview?”
“No.” The chief editor laughed good-naturedly. This young lady not only had drive but also an incredibly fierce temper. “Miss Ding, Super Daily currently has a sponsored overseas study exam. Are you interested in participating?”
“What?”
Super Daily? Editor-in-chief? Sponsored study exam? She understood each of these words, but when strung together, they became incomprehensible.
The chief editor patiently repeated himself, and Qing Yan understood, but was also stunned.
The “Super Daily sponsored study exam” had found her? That exam that people said those with less than five years of journalism experience shouldn’t even dream of? The exam that doesn’t accept individual applications and can only be entered through an invitation from Super Daily?
Why had such good luck fallen on her?
“Hello? Miss Ding, are you there?”
The receiver slipped from her hand. She stood frozen, as if doused with ice water. All her anger disappeared in an instant, leaving only a silly smile on her face as she stared blankly…
