Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 778 - 779: The Stubborn Couple

Chapter 778: Chapter 779: The Stubborn Couple

The station director looked up at her and said, “Don’t think for a minute that I don’t know about it. The texts you wrote, Shengyuan didn’t like any of them, Yuanyuan, you are aware that you’re not skilled in this area, why didn’t you give it to someone else to handle it?”

Yuanyuan felt irked beyond belief at being belittled by the station director.

But she didn’t dare speak up.

The station director continued: “Alright, you may leave now. We’ll put aside the matter about Xia Xia for now. Whether or not we keep her is a small issue, but having offended President Gu is not worth it. And about the promotional video you’re responsible for, if it’s not produced soon, I’ll have someone else take over. This is a big project, Shengyuan Group’s set a high price of 30 million for us. You know that the TV station is having a hard time in many ways now, you better not screw this up for me.”

Lin Yuanyuan left the office, still seething with residual anger.

Xia Yangyang had actually plotted against her discreetly.

...

And she couldn’t even kick her out right now.

Yaunyuan felt like she was about to explode.

Upon returning to the news department, everyone was crowded together discussing this latest development.

Yuanyuan was all the more infuriated by the conversations she heard.

People in the news department didn’t respect her as the director, seeing her as someone who had used her connections to parachute into the position, lacking real expertise.

With Xia Yangyang’s arrival, they gave her even less respect.

Xia Yangyang was just clearing her desk, ready to get off work.

Yuanyuan marched directly towards her.

She tossed a document onto Xia Yangyang’s desk: “Xiao Xia, you like field work, huh? Well, you’re just in luck, there’s an on-site assignment. A demolition site at Luhe Lane where a household is refusing to vacate in compliance with the government’s plan. Go to the site, investigate, and write a report. I want to see it on my desk first thing tomorrow morning.”

After saying this, Yuanyuan spun around and headed straight for her own office.

A loud bang echoed throughout the room.

The door to office had been slammed shut so hard, it sent tremors through the building.

There was a moment of silence outside the office.

Then Zhu Xiaorong spoke up: “The director is deliberately making things difficult for you. Luhe Lane is an urban village. The government is working hard on demolition, but there’s only one remaining household refusing to leave. It’s said to be an old couple, either trying to extort more money from the government or for some other reason. They’ve tried every available tactic, including setting up a bunch of gas cylinders at the door, threatening to blow them up if anyone tries to forcibly demolish their house. This has been the toughest nut to crack in the past six months. The TV station has sent many reporters, virtually all have returned defeated. One reporter, Zhang, even had his head cracked open by a shovel on a previous visit. Now, no one dares to go to Luhe Lane to cover this old couple. The director suddenly palming this hot potato off to you can only mean she’s out to get you.”

Crowd echoed along.

“The director is way out of line, clearly using her position for personal vendetta.”

“Exactly. She’s vindictive, even willing to expose her cruelty by ripping up other people’s test papers. A disgusting display.”

“But what can you do when she’s the Lin Family’s daughter and the station director’s daughter-in-law? With such a strong backing, how could Yangyang ever compete with her?”

Everyone looked sympathetically at Xia Yangyang.

But Xia Yangyang was already earnestly going through the files left by Lin Yuanyuan.

Demolitions at Luhe Lane? Nail house household?

This news story appealed to Xia Yangyang.

Grasping her camera, she said, “I’m going to go and have a look.”

Zhu Xiaorong said, “Yangyang, you’re really going? That elderly couple is quite vicious. It’s dangerous for you to go there alone, and it’s off-duty time now.”

Xia Yangyang smiled, “It’s alright, I’ll be careful.”
