Chapter 775: Chapter 776: Tearing Apart
Lin Yuanyuan’s face showed a bit of panic: “What about the backups, don’t you have them in your computer?”
A faint smile appeared on Xia Yangyang’s face: “I’ve already resigned from Shengyuan, why would I keep backups? I’ve completely formatted and deleted all the backups and data.”
Lin Yuanyuan was furious: “Xia Yangyang, are you doing this on purpose to cross me?”
Xia Yangyang shrugged and innocently replied: “Director, I don’t quite understand what you mean, what have I done wrong?”
Lin Yuanyuan couldn’t point it out directly, suppressed the ridicule welling up inside: “Okay, Xia Yangyang, just you wait.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t take it to heart.
After all these years, Xia Yangyang knew.
The more you yield to people like Lin Yuanyuan, the more they will bully you.
Although Xia Yangyang doesn’t seek anything beyond doing her journalism work.
She cannot let herself be bullied.
Tomorrow is the written test for “The First Scene” selection.
The written test went smoothly.
However, the next day when the results were announced, Xia Yangyang did not find her name on the admitted list.
Xia Yangyang found it strange.
All the test questions were basic ones, and with her recent review, she was well-prepared, so why wasn’t she accepted?
Zhu Xiaorong saw Xia Yangyang sitting alone on a seat with a depressed look. She leaned over and whispered: “Yangyang, there’s something I think I should tell you. Do you know why you didn’t pass the written test? After the test, I saw the director sneaking into the Minister’s office. I peeked from the doorway and saw the director pull a paper from a pile of test papers, tear it up, and throw it in the trash can. At that time, I was wondering who had offended the director. Now I think the test paper she destroyed was yours.”
Xia Yangyang frowned.
Although Lin Yuanyuan had been making things difficult for her both openly and covertly recently, she didn’t expect her to do such a despicable thing.
Zhu Xiaorong comforted Xia Yangyang at her side: “Yangyang, I think you should resign. With your qualifications, you can do better anywhere else than here. Your talent far exceeds that of the director, but the director has backing and you can’t beat her. It’s better to leave and start over than being oppressed by the director and taking all this abuse every day.”
Xia Yangyang responded: “Originally, I didn’t want to oppose her, but this is just too much.”
Xia Yangyang got up and left.
Zhu Xiaorong shouted at her retreating figure: “Don’t tell the director that I told you this when you confront her.”
Xia Yangyang wasn’t going to confront Lin Yuanyuan.
She went directly to the Minister instead.
She was in charge of the test papers for the written test.
The news Minister, Li Jianyue, was over sixty and was actually retired and rehired by the TV station.
Xia Yangyang had heard of him when she was in university. He was a well-educated and award-winning seasoned journalist.
The “First Scene” program was his initiative.
The Minister was in his office when she arrived.
Xia Yangyang knocked on the door.
Upon hearing a response of “come in” from inside, Xia Yangyang walked in.
Minister Li looked up and Xia Yangyang was already in front of him.
“Minister, I am Xia Yangyang, a journalist from the news department.”
Minister Li looked at Xia Yangyang with a friendly face and smiling eyes: “I have seen your CV, I was the one who recruited you to the news department.”
Xia Yangyang began: “Thank you for your recognition, Minister Li. Actually, I have a special request today.”
