At Midian Media Company, Xia Yanxin, wearing blue jeans and a white shirt looking very refreshing, joyfully walked into the manager’s office.
“Boss Yu, I’m back!”
Unable to hide the excitement on her little face, she placed the broken camera and the USB flash drive on Yu Qing’s desk.
Yu Qing turned around and upon seeing Xia Yanxin, his eyes revealed deep shock.
What many skilled journalists had failed to do was unexpectedly solved by this intern who was a newcomer.
After a while, he excitedly clapped his hands and stood up to shake Xia Yanxin’s hand.
“Xiao Xia, you did great!
You truly deserve to be the dark horse under my command!”
Xia Yanxin smiled shyly, standing up straight, “Boss Yu, the camera is broken, I’m really sorry!
But the memory card is fine, I’ve exported all the photos, they’re on the USB drive.”
That miniature camera was a new piece of equipment that the company had spent over ten thousand to buy, and Xia Yanxin felt a bit uneasy.
“Haha, don’t worry about it, this loss is nothing.
What matters is the photo you took; it’s priceless!
Xiao Xia, you did a great job.
From now on, you are a formal journalist at Midian Media.
Go to the HR department to sign your official contract, and also, here is a bonus for you…”
Yu Qing took out a thick stack of pink banknotes from the drawer, and Xia Yanxin’s eyes lit up.
Midian Media was a fairly large company in S City, with fierce competition.
With just a high school diploma, Xia Yanxin was able to get in only through a friend’s connections.
Initially working as an editorial proofreader, her job was to keep her eyes glued to the computer screen looking for typos, formatting errors, and photo retouching…
She had been doing this for over a year.
Not only was the position low-paying, but she remained a probationary employee because of her educational background, she couldn’t become permanent or receive benefits like health insurance or housing funds, and her monthly salary of fifteen hundred barely covered her food expenses.
Even so, she valued this job dearly, mainly because the company was a large one, and with her educational background, she couldn’t get into such a place elsewhere. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Secretly, she never relaxed and was always studying various books related to journalism, dreaming that one day she could become a real journalist.
Because of her outstanding performance, and the company being short on journalists, she voluntarily stepped up as an intern journalist.
This trip to Heaven-Earth Gala was the icing on the cake, propelling her to a small success.
After signing the official contract, with a stack of pink banknotes in her purse, Xia Yanxin felt filled with joy and a sense of security.
“Xiao Xia, you’ll be a formal journalist tomorrow.
Buy yourself some suitable clothes and do a good job.
If there’s another opportunity in the future, I’ll recommend you.”
Yu Qing looked through all the photos, one by one, finding them very impactful and was very satisfied with Xia Yanxin’s work.
“Got it, thanks for your concern, Boss Yu.” Xia Yanxin walked out of the office with the money, hid in the bathroom to count it, and to her surprise, it was eight thousand!
It seemed that this trip was indeed worth it.
Although she almost what, it ended up being a close call without any trouble.
She ran down to the small supermarket downstairs, buying a cup of lemon juice and a sandwich for each of her colleagues in the editorial department as a celebration.
A brand-new position, a brand-new working opportunity; Xia Yanxin’s life was gradually stabilizing after the recent tumultuous events.
At the same time, the photos from the Heaven-Earth Gala were exposed, and for some time, all major news media and magazine front pages featured the photos taken by Xia Yanxin.
Midian Media Company also gained great publicity from this event, leading to skyrocketing company performance…
In the bustling city streets, holding a milk tea, Xia Yanxin bought a newspaper from a stall.
The headline on the entertainment page was the photo she had taken in Central No.1 Hall that night.
In the picture, Long Yutian, wearing a black suit, looked striking and imposing, his dark eyes couldn’t hide his wicked smirk, as if he was still sneering at her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and the newspaper fluttered from her hands…
Even though she knew it was all over, there was still a strong unease in her heart, as if a pair of cold, sharp eyes were watching her from behind.
It seemed she really had developed a psychological shadow…
Suddenly, her phone rang startling her into a cold sweat.
She steadied her nerves and slowly took out her phone from her bag—it was a call from her classmate and best friend Shen Xiaoman.
“Yanyan, where have you been these past few days?
Why was your phone off for two days?”
“I…
my phone broke, what do you need?”
“Cut it out, stop pretending!
Confess, have you been fooling around with someone these past few days?” Shen Xiaoman laughed teasingly.
“Fooling around my foot!
I don’t even have a man, where would I go fooling around?”
“Don’t lie, I saw him!
Saw him with my own eyes this morning, hasn’t been seen for years, truly suave and charismatic, that presence…” Shen Xiaoman started to daydream.
“Nervous Man, make yourself clear, who are you talking about?”
“Eek, looks like you really don’t know!
Who else could it be, if not your Prince Charming, the man of your dreams, Chu Sihao!”
Chu Sihao…
those three words dropped like a boulder into the still waters of a lake, creating waves in Xia Yanxin’s heart.
Her mouth hung open, unable to close it for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, she threw away the unfinished milk tea and sprinted toward the end of the road.
Brother Hao, have you really come back?
Excitement, joy, and sweet happiness sent Xia Yanxin’s heart soaring.
At that moment, she wished she could sprout wings and fly to that man she had longed for so much.
