Chapter 763: Chapter 764: Slacking Off
Lin Yuanyuan spoke in a calm tone, “Yangyang, as you know, we are currently short staffed. As a member of our news department, your work should naturally be arranged according to my discretion. If you’re unsatisfied, you can always resign through the Human Resources Department.”
Although Xia Yangyang was discontented inwardly,
If she were to resign now, it would mean conceding defeat.
Xia Yangyang took charge of the investigative report, “Don’t worry, I’ll get the job done today.”
She glanced through it, it was merely an ordinary survey questionnaire on the awareness of news.
Even if she actually went around soliciting responses on the street till nightfall, completing a few dozen forms would be quite an achievement.
Xia Yangyang took a stack of questionnaires and went straight to the Shengyuan Building.
Xia Yangyang didn’t even disturb Gu Qichen.
She just asked for Fang Zhengdong’s assistance and given the questionnaires to several departments.
In less than ten minutes, all the questionnaires were compiled.
Fang Zhengdong tidied up the files, arranging them neatly for Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang said, “Thank you very much, Secretary Fang.”
Fang Zhengdong responded, “It was nothing, really. In the future, if you have this kind of questionnaire, give it to me. It’ll be done quickly.”
Xia Yangyang nodded with a smile.
Fang Zhengdong said, “The president is inside, the little master is sleeping in the office. Miss Xia, do you want to go in and have a look?”
Having checked the time and noticing that it was still early, Xia Yangyang decided to visit Gu Qichen’s office.
Gu Qichen was somewhat surprised to see Xia Yangyang.
It was working hours.
Xia Yangyang had just started working at the television station these past few days, and although he didn’t know exactly what she was doing, she seemed extremely busy, returning home late every night due to overtime work.
Gu Qichen was already discontented because of it.
So, seeing Xia Yangyang appear at his office door during broad daylight was quite unexpected.
Gu Qichen expressed his surprise, “What brings you here?”
Xia Yangyang swaggered in, “I snuck away from work to come see you during work hours.”
Gu Qichen stood up, “This doesn’t seem like your style.”
Xia Yangyang raised an eyebrow, “I’ve come to conduct a questionnaire survey for official and private purposes at your company.”
“A questionnaire survey? But you’re a news reporter. Why do you have to do this type of work?”
Xia Yangyang sighed. She thought to herself: it’s all because of you, yet she answered aloud, “It is just some extra work that cropped up, I’m simply lending a hand.”
Seeing that Xia Yangyang was reluctant to elaborate, Gu Qichen knitted his brows.
But he did not press for more details.
Xia Yangyang stayed in Gu Qichen’s office for a while before leaving for the television station.
As Xia Yangyang left, Fang Zhengdong entered.
Gu Qichen began, “Zhengdong, please find out what my wife is doing at the television station, get me information on her colleagues and her boss, too.”
When Xia Yangyang placed a stack of questionnaires, filled to the brim, on Lin Yuanyuan’s desk, Lin Yuanyuan was almost incredulous.
This survey work was no less than a chore that everyone loathed. It was labour-intensive and unrewarding, with complete exposure to the elements, and endless obstacles often led to a disappointing number of completed surveys.
How did Xia Yangyang manage to fill hundreds of questionnaires within just two hours?
Lin Yuanyuan looked up at Xia Yangyang, “Xiao Xia, you didn’t just sloppily complete these yourself, did you? The higher-ups value this work, it’s for future data compilation. The data you produce will be used in the news, doesn’t it equate to fake news if you misrepresent it? As a media professional, don’t you feel ashamed conducting yourself this way?”
Lin Yuanyuan casually flipped through the pile, launching directly into a lecture for Xia Yangyang.
