Chapter 47 Anchor Contest

I fell to the ground in a mess, the pain in my back making me unable to recover.

Xiaoyu was a little proud, and glanced at everyone present, as if to warn, "If anyone in this company wants to help, then they are my enemy, and I don't mind taking care of you as well."

Everyone in the company saw Xiaoyu’s arrogant look, but no one dared to speak up to defend me.

She is one of the best female anchors in the company, and no one dares to displease her at this time.

I got up from the ground in a panic, brushed off the dust on my body, and tried not to think about it.

No matter what Xiaoyuer wants to do to me, I can't give up easily.

Now the burden of the family is all on me, I have to work harder.

I didn't waste time with Xiaoyu. After getting up, I went straight to the workshop.

Before I had time to start the live broadcast, I suddenly received a notice from Jiang Yichen that he was going to attend a meeting.

I hurried to the meeting room.

After all the anchors arrived, Jiang Yichen simply glanced around at us and finally set his sights on me.

For some reason, my heart was beating unusually fast.

I had a feeling this meeting was aimed specifically at me.

After a few seconds, Jiang Yichen spoke in a deep voice, reminding all of our anchors.

"Starting this month, the company will implement an elimination system, and the bottom three in each quarter will be laid off."

Hearing this, I suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

If we look at the quarterly results, I don’t think I can compare with other anchors.

Thinking about what happened last night, I subconsciously believed that this was Jiang Yichen's way of trying to drive me away.

After all, he wanted me to be his lover.

I felt a little overwhelmed and unconsciously clutched the corner of my clothes.

I didn't listen to what Jiang Yichen said in the last meeting. My mind was full of thoughts about how to push myself forward.

The more he tries to stop me, the more I will strive forward.

Anyway, I have already offended him before, so why should I care about this time.

…

It was late at night and the lights were only on on my side of the company.

I lay on the table and tears finally fell.

I pretended to hold on for the whole day, but at this moment, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Jiang Yichen is such a stinky man, I really want to tear him to pieces.

But I'm a coward.

Just then, I was interrupted by a discordant knock on the door.

I nervously looked up at the door and found that it was Xiao Tiantian who came to find me.

Not wanting her to see me in such a state of disarray, I quickly stood up, wiped away my tears, and pretended nothing had happened.

She walked in, glanced at me briefly, and sighed.

"Why did you come to see me suddenly?"

Xiao Tiantian sat opposite me and told me the latest information.

"I heard that there is a competition in Tongcheng that wants to select the most outstanding talent anchor. The first place will have a relatively generous prize. I think you can sign up."

When saying these words, I could clearly feel that Xiao Tiantian was worried about me.

I couldn't help but feel touched, but more than that, I felt hesitant.

After thinking about it, I politely declined.

“I don’t have any talent.”

Xiao Tiantian seemed to have guessed it long ago and expressed her opinion calmly.

"If you really want to participate, you can learn to dance with me."

Xiao Tiantian’s enthusiasm ignited some hope in my heart.

Considering that my family is still burdened with a lot of debt, I still want to give it a try.

I learned the specific registration channels from Xiao Tiantian and went to register the next day.

After arriving at the scene, I found out that this competition was actually organized by Leong Siu-rou and a few rich second-generations.

The main purpose of selecting outstanding anchors this time is to endorse the family business.

If you can successfully win the first place, not to mention the generous prize money, the exposure of this endorsement alone will make your career flourish.

But when I thought that the organizer was Liang Xiaorou, I couldn’t help but back off.

I stood at the registration point, but did nothing.

Just then, a mocking voice came from a distance.

"Gu Mo, why are you here too? Is it for money?"

I looked in the direction of the sound and found that Liang Xiaorou was gathered with a few rich second-generations, looking at me as if they were watching a show.

Several people came up and surrounded me, deliberately making things difficult for me.

"Do you know that we are selecting a talent anchor? Don't you think you are qualified?"

I tried my best to suppress my emotions, as if I didn't hear what they said.

Seeing me like this, the rich second-generations became even more interested and laughed together.

All kinds of unpleasant words kept coming out.

"If you want money, sing and dance for us here. You name the price."

"Miss Gu, who used to be so high and mighty, is now trying to show her face for money. This is a new thing in Tongcheng."

"What Miss Gu? Her father is now in debt to a loan shark and is a deadbeat. He's even saying he wants to jump off the building."

This group of people got great satisfaction from humiliating me.

One of them took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed it directly into my chest, saying contemptuously, "Take this money and get out of here. It's only worth this much, and it's not worth the bonus at all."

I was still hesitant, but after hearing the ridicule from these people, I gradually became more determined.

The more they look down on me, the more I want to prove myself.

There was a hint of provocation in my tone, deliberately provoking Liang Xiaorou.

"Liang Xiaorou, you stopped me. Are you afraid that I will get first place?"

Sure enough, when these words came out, Liang Xiaorou's face suddenly became gloomy. She said disdainfully, "Just you? Don't you even look at your own weight? Do you deserve to win the award?"

"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm qualified or not. If you don't dare to ask me to sign up, just say so."

Liang Xiaorou really couldn't resist my teasing and allowed me to sign up smoothly.

After returning to the company, I started learning dance.

After finishing the live broadcast during the day, I would take time to learn the basic movements, and in the evening I would go to Xiao Tiantian for extra practice.

As long as I can achieve my goal, I am not afraid of hard work.

Just when I was dancing enthusiastically, I always felt that there was a pair of unfriendly eyes staring at me from behind.

I subconsciously looked back and found that there was indeed a person standing at the door.

It’s Jiang Yichen.

What does he want to do now?

I ignored him and continued practicing the moves.

Jiang Yichen became alert and walked over slowly.

"You're not a talent show host, why are you suddenly trying so hard to dance?"

Not wanting him to know my true purpose, I made up an excuse.

"I want to increase my followers. The only way to continuously attract new followers is to learn more."

But he didn't believe me. He looked me up and down and asked what he was thinking, "Are you going to participate in the Tongcheng anchor competition?"

I froze in my dancing, but quickly recovered and purposely concealed the truth, "What competition? I don't know."
