Xia Yehua’s condition had stabilized, and her mood had gradually improved.
Qiao Lian had also sent her resume out as she began her job hunt.
But she had gotten no response at all, like a rock that had sunk into a great ocean.
She even started to wonder, “Isn’t there even a single news agency that would hire me?”
Shen Liangchuan comforted her, saying, “You’re a real gem and good at what you do, it’s just that you haven’t met someone who appreciates you.”
And Qiao Lian could only comfort herself that way too.
Still, the anxiety did not go away.
In addition, she had ceased her eSports caster work. Most of the time now, she was at home doing nothing, which made her feel like a guilty criminal.
However, juss when she had almost lost all hope thinking that she would never land a job in this lifetime, she finally received a notice for an interview.
It set in the afternoon a few days from now.
Since the interview notice had come from the biggest news agency in the industry, she jumped with excitement and joy.
On the day, she dressed up and headed for the meeting eagerly.
When she arrived, the company staff were very polite towards her and led her to the human resources department.
The interviewer was a lady. Upon meeting, she pointed to a chair and invited Qiao Lian to take a seat. She began by saying, “Miss Qiao, our agency does have a few requirements.”
Qiao Lian paused for a moment at these words and said, “Please go on.”
“First of all, you will have to play whatever role may be required of you by the agency in order to obtain information. This may include disguising as a club hostess, for example.”
“What?” Qiao Lian was taken aback.
“Secondly, you will be at the beck and call of the agency and you will have no leisure time. All the time that you have belongs to the company. And thirdly, the agency will pay you a monthly wage of 5000, there will be no commission for you.”
The three conditions seemed like a bad joke to Qiao Lian. “So is the agency looking for a human or an ox? Even if you made an ox work, you would provide better conditions, right?”
The interviewer suddenly laughed at Qiao Lian’s reply. “Do you think this agency would really hire someone who hits her supervisor?”
Although initially confused by this remark, she suddenly realized what it was about. Her expression grew tense and she asked, “Madam, what do you mean by this?”
“What do I mean?” the woman said in a mocking tone. “I suppose you haven’t been called for many interviews, if at all?”
Qiao Lian nodded.
Smirking, the woman continued, “The story of you hitting Zhang Chunhua has spread among the industry. Do you really think that our agency would want to hire you?”
“These are the three requirements of our agency, you can stay if you agree. If you don’t, you’re free to go!”
–
As Qiao Lian walked out of the news agency, her face was pale.
Freaking hell! Zhang Chunhua had actually secretly done such a thing.
No wonder the woman hadn’t gone after her.
She bit her lip as her chest was heaving with fury.
After she left the agency, the interviewer picked up her cell phone and dialed a number. “My old schoolmate Zhang Chunhua! I’ve finally avenged you today! How are you going to thank me?”
Zhang Chunhua’s voice came through the line, “Well, let me give you the latest news then.”
“What would that be?”
“Forget Chuan, of course! CQ Team stood out at the eSports championship, and their coach is Forget Chuan. Ever since she launched her career, her identity has been a mystery. Let me tell you, she’s the trending topic of the day! Our agency is planning to interview her. I’ll let you know that there’s going to be an event in CQ’s clubhouse these two days and I’m sure she will attend. You and I can go and report about the event! If we manage to catch Forget Chuan for an exclusive, it will guarantee us a headline.”
