Chapter 40
Fiancé
“Of course there is no such policy!” Sister Chen denied it without hesitation. “Our department is different from other places. The initial selection of the broadcaster has to go through an audition, and then layers of screening. Only the most capable candidates are chosen and then trained to become skilled radio hosts. How could someone with backdoor connections possibly get in?”
Sister Chen’s words were clearly mocking Lin Miao.
She was a workaholic and took her work very seriously. She hated incompetent people the most, especially those who got in through the back door and were incompetent. People like that disgusted her.
Upon hearing this, Gong Xin immediately felt relieved and chimed in, “Exactly, there must be something fishy going on. Even Gu Zi herself didn’t know when her job was given to someone else!”
Sister Chen was an old woman who had seen many ups and downs. Her gaze fell on Lin Miao’s face and saw that Lin Miao was standing there trembling in fear.
Lin Miao’s actions were akin to taking someone else’s high school exam results to enter college—it was simply outrageous.
Not only that, she showed no remorse and instead continued to use filial piety to silence Gu Ziy and hide the truth.
Lin Miao felt her scalp tingling under Sister Chen’s scrutinizing gaze. Her legs trembled involuntarily as she sensed the disdainful looks from those around her. Her eyes were red, and she lowered her head pitifully, saying, “My parents made this decision, and I didn’t know anything about it. I was just following their instructions.”
Gong Xin burst into laughter after hearing Lin Miao’s explanation. “Lin Miao, I remember when you first went to the Gu family, you insisted on having a DNA test to prove you were their daughter. I didn’t see you being so obedient back then!”
Everyone present laughed.
Gu Ziy observed Lin Miao’s pathetic act. While the Gu family’s parents could be somewhat materialistic, she couldn’t believe they had gone to such extremes when she was still with them.
“That’s right. Mr. and Mrs. Gu’s concerns are also right. Since I’m willing to come back, there’s no need to trouble you with taking my shifts.”
Lin Miao widened her eyes in disbelief.
She had endured Sister Chen’s scolding for half a month for nothing? All this trouble for what?
Lin Miao had initially been worried and fearful, but now she was furious.
Gu Zi walked up to Sister Chen and sighed lightly. She said, “Sister Chen, my parents were right. Now that I’ve gone to the countryside, I’m afraid I won’t be able to come to work every day. And if I take frequent leaves, it would be too troublesome for you.”
Sister Chen looked at the two-year-old child in Gu Zi’s arms and her heart softened a little.
It was a pity that such a good seedling was gone.
Gu Zi clearly had a bright future, but all of this was gone now.
Sister Chen sighed and asked, “So, what do you want to do?”
“I can’t let someone who doesn’t know anything replace me. That would just be troublesome for you. You’ve taken care of me so well, and I can’t let you deal with such problems.” Gu Ziy spoke with sincerity.
Lin Miao was so angry that smoke was coming out of her nostrils. Gu Zi was clearly trying to embarrass her on purpose.
It was a pity that this was not the Gu family’s residence, so she couldn’t give orders to Gu Zi.
“Sister Chen, I’ve been thinking about this for the past few days. I plan to sell this job.” Gu Ziy sighed softly, lowered her head, and said gently.
Sister Chen still remembered how happy Gu Zi looked when she was a broadcaster and knew that Gu Zi liked this job very much.
“But I’ll sell it to a professional within the department.” Gu Zi said softly.
When Gong Xin heard this, she immediately perked up. Her eyes were fixed on Gu Ziy, and it was as if she had “Sell it to me” written on her forehead.
“Then have you decided who you want to sell it to?” Sister Chen asked.
Gu Zi’s gaze landed on Gong Xin’s face. Gong Xin was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
“When I came in with Gong Xin, her Mandarin was also impeccable, and she had a good image,” Gu Zi said softly.
Sister Chen remembered that Gong Xin was also a rich lady who got in based on her abilities. The only reason she hadn’t been selected as a radio host initially was because she was a bit short.
She remembered that Gu Zi and Gong Xin did not have a good relationship. She did not expect Gu Zi to recommend Gong Xin. “I wonder if Gong Xin is willing…”
“I’m willing!” Gong Xin immediately said, “Let’s settle this today. My brother said he was coming here for some business, so we can ride with him, and you can come to my place to get the money!”
As soon as Gong Xin finished speaking, footsteps approached from outside the room. Everyone turned to see several people in military uniforms entering.
Gu Zi immediately noticed the man standing in the center of the group.
He was tall and commanding, with deep and intense eyes. He looked down at her from above, and his features were chiseled.
He was Gong Zhan, the original body owner’s military officer fiancé.
Gong Zhan glanced at Gong Xin and his eyes held a piercing and chilly demeanor. He then turned his cold gaze toward Gu Zi and began walking toward her step by step.
