Chapter 757: Chapter 758: Reunion with an Old Friend
Xia Yangyang really started job hunting.
She applied to major newspapers, news industries, traditional media, and TV stations.
The positions she chose were all journalism related, such as interview reporters, news reporters, and the like.
With her years of experience and work history in the United States,
She quickly became a hot commodity.
Her resume got responses in no time.
Xia Yangyang went to multiple companies for interviews.
Everyone was quite satisfied with her.
On the other hand, Xia Yangyang was feeling somewhat overwhelmed.
She carefully weighed her options among several new media and traditional media outlets.
In the end, Xia Yangyang still chose a television station.
Xia Yangyang did not apply for a management position.
In fact, with her qualifications, she could completely apply for a department leader.
But Xia Yangyang does not like managerial work.
She likes working on the front lines of journalism.
Interviewing, investigating, writing, and uncovering the truth are her favourite aspects of the job.
On her first day at work, Xia Yangyang was assigned to the news department.
The news department just created a new interview column called “First Scene”
which was short-staffed at the time.
She fit the bill perfectly as an interviewing reporter.
This was almost identical to her job in the United States.
Always on the front line, reporting the truth as soon as possible.
In the morning, Xiao Li from the human resources department gave her a tour of the TV station and the various departments.
When they reached the news department, Xiao Li said, “You will be working here. That’s your seat. Move your stuff over in the afternoon, then submit your induction report to the director’s office. In the beginning, the director will arrange your work.”
Xia Yangyang tidied up her seat a bit.
She greeted her nearby colleagues.
Then, with her induction report in hand, she went to the director’s office.
But Xia Yangyang did not expect to meet an acquaintance on her first day.
Well, not exactly an acquaintance.
More precisely, it’s a case of adversaries often crossing each other’s path.
Xia Yangyang came across Lin Yuanyuan.
And Lin Yuanyuan turned out to be the director of the news department.
In other words, Lin Yuanyuan was Xia Yangyang’s immediate superior.
Lin Yuanyuan immediately recognized Xia Yangyang when she looked up from her office chair.
Lin Yuanyuan stood up from behind her desk and said, “Isn’t this Xia Yangyang, my university junior? I never thought we would run into each other again after four years.”
Speaking of the conflict between Xia Yangyang and Lin Yuanyuan, it started because of Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang and Lin Yuanyuan were both graduated from the same media university.
Back then, they both worked as interns in Shengyuan’s secretariat department.
Four years ago, she was secretly married to Gu Qichen.
There wasn’t any tension back then.
But when Lin Yuanyuan became a permanent member of the secretariat and Xia Yangyang’s marriage with Gu Qichen came to light,
Lin Yuanyuan began to treat her with hostility, because she had a crush on Gu Qichen, which was the reason she stayed in the secretariat in the first place.
Lin Yuanyuan is a member of the Lin family, one of the four biggest families.
Her brother, Lin Zhiwei, and Gu Qichen are close friends.
However, Gu Qichen had her dismissed outright due to a few remarks she made, without giving her any face.
It was quite disgraceful.
After that, Xia Yangyang never saw Lin Yuanyuan again.
She didn’t expect, that after four years, they would meet under such circumstances.
Xia Yangyang just half-smiled, “Yuanyuan, long time no see.”
Lin Yuanyuan was wearing a white suit, with a head of big, swaying waves, her makeup was sharp and exquisite. She looked every bit the white-collar elite.
Lin Yuanyuan walked towards her: “You should just call me Director like everyone else. That way, people won’t say that you’re trying to curry favor with me the moment you arrive.”
Xia Yangyang put some documents on Lin Yuanyuan’s desk: “This is my induction report, please take a look. If there’s nothing wrong, please sign.”
