Chapter 38
Complaining
“But I heard that you went back to the countryside and it was even said you gave the job to Lin Miao. You have no idea how terrible Lin Miao’s Mandarin is, and I…” Gong Xin started to go off-topic.
She threw all those messy thoughts aside and fixed her gaze on Gu Zi’s face. “You were finally chosen as the radio broadcaster after all the hard work. I was wondering why you were so generous, giving the job to someone else! I didn’t know you were unaware of it!”
Gong Xin looked at Gu Zi as if she were an idiot. In her eyes, even though Gu Zi wasn’t Gu Family’s biological daughter, she was good at her job and could live comfortably in the city by herself. So why would she hand over the job to Lin Miao?
“Lin Miao,” Gu Zi said with a serious expression. The original host had previously asked another radio host to cover her shifts, and in this era, shifts could be covered, allowing the substitute to earn double pay.
When she discussed this with the substitute radio host, the person had been quite happy about it.
How did the job end up in Lin Miao’s hands?
When Gong Xin thought of Lin Miao’s smug attitude, she wished she could tear Lin Miao apart. She briefly explained the situation to Gu Zi.
“At first, you had Yu Jie cover your shifts. Later, when you didn’t come out of the Gu Family, Lin Miao took over the job, and she even claimed that it was your request.” Gong Xin’s initial thought was that with Gu Zi gone, she would become the military district’s top beauty. The position of the broadcaster might also be hers.
But who would have thought that Lin Miao would get the job instead, thanks to her connections.
She, the daughter of a dignified chief, had not been able to get the position of a broadcaster with her own abilities. It enraged her even more that it was later snatched away by a crude village girl.
Why should she have to put up with this?
She had thought at the time that it would be better for Gu Zi to come to work. After all, Gu Zi had defeated her fairly with her skills and knowledge.
Now that Gu Zi had sorted out her thoughts, she realized that the original host probably didn’t plan to quit and had intended to continue as a radio host in the future, which is why she had kept her position.
When Gu Zi arrived in this book world, she didn’t even think about the job position that she held and left directly for the village.
According to Gong Xin, when the Host was still in the Gu family, Lin Miao had already taken over her job and directly occupied her position.
The original host had a deep dislike for Lin Miao, and Gu Zi couldn’t stand her either.
The position of a radio host was meant for someone with talent, not for someone like Lin Miao, who relied on connections.
After thinking about all of this, Gu Zi looked at the aggrieved Gong Xin and said softly, “I got this job from five hundred competitors back then. It’s my own job, unrelated to the Gu Family. Even if I’m not working here, this job would have to be offered to someone else. There’s no way I would just give it to Lin Miao for free. I’m not that foolish.”
When Gong Xin heard Gu Zi’s words and remembered the pitiful state Gu Zi had been in during that time, her eyes filled with sympathy. “You’ve really been through a lot. You lost your parents, your fiancé, and your job was taken away. But what you said is absolutely right. You earned this radio host position yourself, and I think you’re much more suitable for it than Lin Miao. She’s completely unsuitable!”
When Gong Xin thought of Gu Zi’s tragic experience, the more she looked at Gu Zi, the more she found her pleasing to the eye.
Gu Zi really, really loved Gong Xin’s elder brother. She had to overcome so many setbacks, yet she still managed to stand up again. It was truly commendable.
Gong Xin thought of Lin Miao’s pretentious manner. Every time Lin Miao broadcasted, she would broadcast a lot of nonsense and her Mandarin was not even up to standard. “Lin Miao’s Mandarin is far worse than yours!”
When Gu Zi heard Gong Xin’s words, she instantly understood.
Lin Miao had only recently returned to the city and was unfamiliar with everything.
Gu Zi was about to leave when she heard Gong Xin rambling on about Lin Miao.
Initially, Gu Zi thought that Gong Xin would continue causing trouble for her as before, but now it seemed that Gong Xin’s anger was directed entirely at Lin Miao. Gu Zi was about to interrupt Gong Xin, but she was pushed by Gong Xin towards the broadcasting room.
“Let’s go and see Lin Miao now. When I went to the bathroom just now, Sister Chen was scolding her!”
Just like that, Gu Zi was pushed into the broadcasting studio by Gong Xin. As soon as she entered, she saw Sister Chen standing in front of Lin Miao with a gloomy expression. Sister Chen seemed to be very angry.
Sister Chen was a veteran at the radio station. She specialized in training radio broadcasters.
Despite the original host’s abilities, Sister Chen had scolded her several times, earning herself the nickname “Female Devil” among some of the staff.
Gong Xin looked at Lin Miao, who was like a frightened little mouse in front of Sister Chen, and cheerfully exclaimed, “Sister Chen, look who’s here!”
