Chapter 820: Chapter 821: The Overbearing President Character in the Novel
Li Jianyue spoke at length, but Xia Yangyang was still gazing at the photo on the document, lost in thought.
The Gu Zhaohan in the photo looked very different from usual.
Dressed in a suit and tie, his hair meticulously combed, he exuded the aura of a professional elite.
Xia Yangyang was used to seeing him in a white lab coat, so suddenly witnessing this version of Gu Zhaohan made her quite uncomfortable.
Yet, the one constant was the icy demeanor that he radiated.
“Xiao Xia? What’s wrong?”
When Li Jianyue noticed Xia Yangyang was in a daze, he called out her name.
In fact, Xia Yangyang had heard everything Li Jianyue had just said.
Li Jianyue wanted her to be the liaison between the project and the TV station.
Xia Yangyang rejected without a second thought, “Minister, I’m not suitable for this job, and I can’t do this interview.”
Li Jianyue took off his glasses, “Why?”
Xia Yangyang casually said, “I only want to focus on producing ‘The First Scene’ well right now, I don’t have extra energy. Moreover, there are so many reporters at the TV station with more experience than me. I have very little understanding of business, so I’m not suitable to be the liaison.”
Li Jianyue sighed, “I know it’s tough to assign this task to you, but you do know it’s a major project, and the government is also placing great importance on it. Jiang Group has even entrusted all the promotional advertising in the later stages to our TV station.”
Xia Yangyang said, “Since this project is so important, then all the more reason not to assign me to it. After all, I’ve just returned to the country and have minimal experience, right?”
Li Jianyue said, “If the other party hadn’t specifically requested you to conduct the interview, I wouldn’t have asked you to take on this difficult task.”
When Li Jianyue said that, it felt like something heavy settled in Xia Yangyang’s heart.
Personally requested her?
Li Jianyue, with some difficulty, said, “Xiao Xia, you have to take on this tough assignment. This is a project that the government particularly values, it’s beneficial for the country and the people. Also, I’ve touched base with them, and there won’t be too much work. After all, Jiang Group’s headquarters is in Beijing, and the project manager won’t always be here. So, it’s just some initial hard work.”
With Li Jianyue having already put it that way, Xia Yangyang found it hard to refuse any further.
Especially since it was a personal request.
Xia Yangyang knew she definitely couldn’t shirk this matter.
Conveniently, Xia Yangyang also had matters she wanted to discuss with Gu Zhaohan.
So Xia Yangyang accepted the task, “Minister, I’ll go and do the interview this afternoon.”
The interview location was the conference hall of Caesar International Hotel.
Early in the morning, Xia Yangyang and Old Bai arrived there to prepare the scene in advance.
Xia Yangyang reviewed the script once more.
The script Minister Li wrote was filled with professional questions.
As Xia Yangyang was looking over the script, Zhu Xiaorong, holding a photo of the interview script, started to gush, “Boss, don’t you think President Gu is incredibly handsome? I heard he’s from Beijing, the son of Xi Jiachen, the richest man, and now the general manager of Jiang Group. He might even become the chairman in the future. This is practically the persona of a domineering CEO from the novels. Boss, which girl would be worthy of a real-life prince like him? I’m really curious about who he’d marry as his wife.”
While Zhu Xiaorong was being gossipy, Xia Yangyang felt a heavy weight on her heart.
Xia Yangyang’s emotions toward Gu Zhaohan were just too complicated.
The interview was scheduled for late in the day, at half-past four in the afternoon.
At four thirty, the doors to the conference room opened.
Gu Zhaohan appeared in the conference room right on time.
