As soon as the call connected, Wang Song blurted out, "Boss! Please, save me, save my son."

“You told me that it was okay to do it this way, which gave me the confidence to go ahead and do it.”

Wang Song got so excited that the wound on his hand started bleeding again, and his face was more bitter than a bitter gourd: "I'm working overtime 996 every day now, and I'm suffering all kinds of humiliation. This is simply not a life for a human being!"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, a processed human voice came through:

Let's just stay here for now.

"Now that you've infiltrated the Si Group and become an employee, you'll be of some use in the future."

"You'll suffer a little now, but once I take over the Si Group, I'll definitely treat you well."

As a seasoned and unscrupulous capitalist, how could Wang Song not know that the other party was just making empty promises?

But now that we're on this sinking ship, there's nothing we can do. All we can say is, "We'll wait for your good news. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Wang Song stared blankly at the cutting board on the table and the densely printed "review materials." He continued to "work overtime" with tears in his eyes.

The week went by quickly, and it was Friday morning in the blink of an eye.

Of the five journalists, He Qinqin and Pei Yue did not submit any reporting videos.

He Qinqin sat at her workstation scrolling through her phone.

She spent the whole day yesterday looking for material, but felt that the material lacked the explosive potential to become a hit.

He Qinqin anxiously scrolled through the Weibo pages of other contestants.

Even before the show "City of Light" started airing, the show itself was already the most popular and popular program.

How come the other contestants caught up in popularity in less than a week?

Even Pei Yue became a viral sensation, making it onto the comedy charts because he was so ridiculous.

What's worse is that last night, Shiyao's aunt played mahjong all night, which kept her from getting a good night's sleep.

He Qinqin stared blankly at her blank notebook.

When Cheng Man, the director of the news department, saw that student He Qinqin was making no progress, she handed He Qinqin a can of coffee.

“Xiao He, it’s the last day now. I saw you went out to gather material yesterday.”

She patted He Qinqin on the shoulder: "When doing things, getting it done is more important than getting it perfect."

He Qinqin shook her head: "The materials I found yesterday were all trivial matters."

"The roasted goose leg is so popular that college students from three universities are 'fighting' for it."

"This is so boring. It's just that the food tastes good, right?"

Cheng Man pursed her lips: "You can have your own ideas, I'm just offering a suggestion."

"In addition, Pei Yue has just submitted a report."

Upon hearing that she was the only one left, He Qinqin hurriedly opened her phone to check the news that Pei Yue had posted.

—Unveiling the truth: A group of sows from a villager's family fell into the river in a row. Is this a sign of moral decay or the destruction of humanity?

"This is being published as news?"

Cheng Man raised her wrist to check the time: "At least he completed the mission."

"Moreover, even an ordinary news story can reveal its value if you find the right angle to interpret it."

Cheng Man glanced around, then pointed to Li Han at the opposite workstation and said, "Li Han, tell me, how can this news be interpreted?"

Cheng Man's posture was just like a teacher giving a quiz during class, making everyone around her tremble with fear.

Li Han thought for a moment and replied, "Pei Yue's report mentioned that this fellow villager's pig farm is now employing more and more college graduates."

"We can report on this by combining it with the social hot topic of more and more college graduates taking off their traditional long gowns to accept these blue-collar jobs."

"Moreover, the treatment at pig farms is generally very good. I've seen some that offer 10,000 yuan to graduates. Even though the pig farms are in remote locations, you can still save money. The only downside is that you have to endure the stench and all kinds of disinfection."

"Reporting on the treatment of pig farmers can easily spark discussion among the public."

Cheng Man nodded in satisfaction and said to He Qinqin, "Do you understand now?"

He Qinqin was completely confused, but still nodded. What do you understand?

Does he realize that Li Han is more outstanding than himself?

After Cheng Man left, He Qinqin stared at Li Han with eyes as sharp as a venomous snake: "Are you satisfied now that you've used me to highlight yourself in front of the leaders?"

Li Han glanced at He Qinqin with a helpless expression: "Sister Man is giving you pointers."

"My answer just now was to give you some ideas for reporting."

He Qinqin rolled her eyes: "Mind your own business."

"I will only report the most worthwhile news; that's what a professional journalist should do."

After saying that, she scratched her hand in frustration, noting that the hot water in the basement had been unstable for the past few days.

She washed the clothes she had washed for Shi Yao with cold water, and her hands were very itchy; she probably had frostbite.

Looking at He Qinqin's actions, and then at He Qinqin's two dark circles under her eyes, Li Han could smell the cigarette smoke and cooking fumes on her body when she got closer.

Her appearance is completely different from the refined and arrogant He Qinqin she used to be.

Li Han said tactfully, "There are many traps in this world that are wrapped in the paper of love."

"You still..."

Before Li Han could finish speaking, Shi Yao ran out of the elevator carrying a camera.

"Qinqin, I've got a scoop on a breaking news story for you, come with me!"

He Qinqin looked at Li Han and snorted coldly: "Stop trying to sow discord."

"Aren't you just jealous that I have a handsome and great boyfriend like Shi Yao, while you can only go on blind dates with those guys arranged by Si Jiuyin?"

"Save your breath. You've already taken my mom and my house, and now you want to take my boyfriend?"

"Shi Yao, let's go!" He Qinqin hugged Shi Yao's arm tightly, as if she was afraid that Shi Yao would be snatched away.

When Li Han heard He Qinqin think that she was coveting Shi Yao, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.

Well, although He Qinqin looks completely different, her mind hasn't changed at all.

Fine, she has fulfilled her duty as an observer to remind him. If He Qinqin is harmed badly by Shi Yao, and then blames others for not reminding her, she won't take the blame.

Over here, Shi Yao led He Qinqin into his brother Ahai's van.

As Ah Hai started the car, he excitedly said, "Sister-in-law, we'll definitely make sure you get first place this time!"

"The clothing trade building caught fire. I heard from a friend of mine that his friend who did the inspection knew that the fire safety equipment there was substandard."

Shi Yao nodded: "Qinqin, go over there now. Don't fight with those reporters for the fire scene footage or scramble for interviews with the fire department."

"Just go and film those fire-fighting equipment, condemn the unscrupulous property management company, and it'll definitely go viral!"

Upon hearing this, He Qinqin immediately perked up; this was her chance to turn the tables!

She was extremely grateful: "Shiyao, Brother Hai, thank you so much for supporting me during the low point of my career."

“Brother Hai, I’ve always treated you like a brother. You’ve been so good to me, just like a sister. I will repay you.”
