Chapter 172 Exceptional Admission

However, after telling her best friend about it, Yu Li didn't have time to think about it anymore.

After all, the guest list for the third episode hasn't been finalized yet. Although the contingency plan has been approved, Yu Li doesn't even have Deng Bailing's contact information.

Furthermore, by utilizing his previously accumulated network of contacts, he inquired around but found that no one had any acquaintance with Deng Bailing.

Last night, Yu Li researched a lot of the latest news about Deng Bailing. Through this fragmented information, she analyzed where she was most likely to go and where she could stake out and run into people.

From these seemingly irregular, chaotic, and fragmented dynamics, Yu Li keenly captured a fixed and unchanging pattern.

That is, on the 15th of every month, Deng Bailing would go to an orphanage called Little Angel Welfare Organization.

Furthermore, Yu Li followed this clue and discovered that Deng Bailing donated money to the orphanage every year, starting with millions of yuan each time.

Today is still the 10th, and there are still five days until the 15th. Perfect, Yu Li can use these five days to go to this orphanage and get a feel for it.

Yu Li quickly tidied herself up and left the office to head to the orphanage.

As I was leaving, I bumped into the receptionist leading several interviewees to the meeting room door, and Ren Qingxue was among them.

Ren Qingxue clearly saw her too, but unlike yesterday, she didn't rush up to her directly. Instead, she waved and greeted her warmly, but didn't call her "sister."

Yu Li ignored her, quickly looked away, and entered the elevator.

Fortunately, Ren Qingxue had some sense and didn't call her "sister" in public, otherwise the other interviewees would have assumed that she was using connections.

Of course, Yu Li didn't care about Ren Qingxue's life or death at all. She thought that with her abilities, she would definitely be eliminated in the first round, and there was no need for her to waste time paying attention to her.

Yu Li's prediction was correct; the interview was conducted in a multi-person format.

That is, three people go in at a time, and during the interview, the interviewer will ask various questions, which the three interviewees can answer at any time.

The examiners judge the candidates based on their answers, which is a great test of their composure and problem-solving skills.

Journalism itself is characterized by a great deal of unpredictability, which further tests journalists' ability to respond to unexpected situations.

Ren Qingxue, who was originally full of confidence, overheard several interviewees talking about their schools while she was waiting outside.

Upon listening to this, I discovered that all of these people were from key universities, either 211 or 985 universities, and even if they were not from prestigious universities, they had master's or even doctoral degrees.

Of course, there are also some returnees, and even some who have worked in the news industry for several years and have certain practical experience in journalism.

This made Ren Qingxue, who had no advantages whatsoever, seem particularly out of place.

But she remembered the method Qi Jianyue had told her yesterday, and suddenly she regained her confidence.

However, when it came to the interview stage, Ren Qingxue's abilities were completely overshadowed by the brilliance of the other two interviewees.

The other two were so eloquent that Ren Qingxue seemed utterly useless; her thinking speed and adaptability were completely incomparable to the other two.

Each time, I was led by the ideas of the other two people and ended up echoing them from behind.

So much so that when the interviewer faced the other two interviewees, he nodded with satisfaction, but when it came to Ren Qingxue, he frowned.

Looking at her resume again, I saw that other people's resumes had incredibly rich descriptions of their educational or work experience.

Aside from her positions as a class officer at school, Ren Qingxue doesn't have much else to offer.

Furthermore, the school he attended appeared as insignificant as dust among a group of top universities and highly educated returnees.

The interviewer shook his head repeatedly, and said to the other two, "Very good, you can go back and wait for our notification."

When she looked at Ren Qingxue, she wondered if the fact that the interviewer hadn't mentioned her meant that she could proceed directly to the next round of interviews.

To everyone's surprise, the interviewer said directly, "I'm sorry, you're eliminated. You don't need to come back again."

Upon hearing this, Ren Qingxue's smile froze, and she immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "Why are they allowed to go back and wait for a notification, while I was eliminated directly?"

"First of all, in the interview just now, your ability to respond to any questions was subpar. Didn't you realize during the interview that there was a clear difference between you and the other two candidates?"

Ren Qingxue choked, unable to reply.

She knew better than anyone else the gap between herself and the other two.

"Furthermore, your educational background does not meet our requirements, so I regret to inform you that you will not be able to proceed to the next round of interviews. There's no need to waste your time on our Blue Sky TV station."

Those who work in journalism are very direct and don't waste extra time on unnecessary things.

Ren Qingxue was criticized mercilessly and could only reluctantly leave the meeting room with her resume.

However, she did not leave directly. Instead, taking advantage of a moment when no one else was paying attention, she pretended to go to the restroom and, based on the directions given to her by Qi Jianyue, accurately found the director's office.

When the director heard the knocking, he thought it was a colleague delivering documents, but a complete stranger walked in.

"Who are you? How did you get in?"

Ren Qingxue immediately introduced herself: "Hello, Director, I'm here for an interview today. My name is Ren Qingxue."

"The interview is in the conference room that's straight ahead and turns right. What are you doing in my office? Get out immediately."

Ren Qingxue, of course, wouldn't leave. She said, "It's like this, just now, I was directly eliminated during the interview, so I came to find you."

Such directness made the director laugh. "What? Being eliminated in the first round of interviews means you're seriously incompetent, and you're thinking of coming to me to plead your case?"

"To be honest, the reason I chose Blue Sky TV is because of my older sister."

Ren Qingxue said, word by word, "Her name is Yu Li. She is now the youngest deputy director of Lantian TV Station and works under you. I imagine you are very familiar with her."

Hearing Yu Li's name piqued the director's interest: "You're Yu Li's younger sister? But you don't even have the same surname."

“We are half-sisters, sharing the same mother but different fathers. This is our family photo. You can take a look if you don’t believe me.”

The director glanced at the family photo and said, "You don't actually think that revealing you're Yu Li's younger sister will get you a special admission offer from the station, do you?"

"Don't you know about my sister's other identity?"

The director frowned: "What's your identity?"

"Now, the largest shareholder of Blue Sky TV is Tianhe Group, and my sister is the daughter-in-law of the chairman of Tianhe Group."
