In the Apocalypse, Ke Meiyu was a “canary” kept by the big shot Ying Yan.
She resented the big shot’s domineering, indifferent, and ruthless nature, yet yearned for the freedom of an or...
The gatekeeper felt a little uncomfortable under the pretty young girl's questioning yet earnest gaze.
The People's Radio Station wasn't a particularly important place; at least you could get in by explaining your reason and registering. This was the first time he had stopped someone from entering.
What kind of mess is this?!
Seeing that the gatekeeper was vague and wouldn't let her in, Ke Meiyu didn't insist, and politely thanked him with a smile before leaving.
However, she still tried her luck at another radio station. To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Tomorrow Radio, she was welcomed in by the station director and two deputy directors.
Ke Meiyu was still a bit confused and asked hesitantly, "Director Guan, did you know I was coming?"
Guan Tai was tall and broad-shouldered with a slightly ruddy complexion, and was secretly called Guan Erye (Second Master Guan) by people.
He laughed and said, "Of course, those people seem smart, but they really think they're hot commodities. Do they think they can just pick and choose any kind of talent and exclude them at will?"
"You're just leaking information to us so we'll reject you. Ha, Comrade Xiao Ke is a truly capable person, a graduate student from Kyoto University. Are we stupid enough to jeopardize our own performance by rejecting someone as outstanding as you?"
Ke Meiyu smiled and nodded without any modesty, "Yes, Guan Taichang has a discerning eye. Rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!"
The smile on Director Guan's face never stopped.
He voluntarily transferred to civilian work, feeling that he was getting too old and could no longer make significant contributions in the military, so he decided to give his position to someone more capable.
However, he was still in good health and could still contribute his remaining energy. After some consideration, he decided to take up his post as the radio station's helmsman.
Although Director Guan's idea was good, it's like being in a completely different field. How easy is it to start a radio station? All the good resources were allocated to the radio station, and the People's Radio Station also had good resources. Only what flowed through the fingers of the two of them was left for Tomorrow Radio.
Talent, equipment, and broadcast content—you can't do without any of them.
Tomorrow Radio remains lukewarm to this day, with half of its programming consisting of rebroadcasts from the other two stations. The other half relies on various technical news reports.
Director Guan and Instructor Zhao are old friends; one is a scholar and the other a warrior, and they once formed a deep friendship.
He had great faith in his old friend who had studied abroad, and believed that the promising young talents recommended by him must have the magic to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
"Comrade Xiao Ke, the conditions at our radio station are rather tough, and the benefits aren't as good as the other two stations, but don't worry, we'll do our best to provide for you."
"We'll cooperate unconditionally with whatever you want to do!"
Director Guan's first two sentences set the tone.
Ke Meiyu didn't mince words and said directly, "Director Guan, as far as I know, radio stations have three channels, People's Radio has two channels, and our Tomorrow Radio only has one channel, and we also spend half the time rebroadcasting for the other two stations?"
Director Guan's face, which was already somewhat red, turned even redder as he said awkwardly, "Well, Comrade Xiao Ke, although our radio station has three announcers, we don't have much content to broadcast."
"The main problem is the lack of funds and staff. We can't go out to collect materials, but without broadcast content, the radio station is barely surviving, and the organization won't allocate more funds."
"Our radio station has low ratings, so newspapers and TV stations don't give us priority when it comes to broadcasting content."
In short, Tomorrow Radio has fallen into a vicious cycle.
Ke Meiyu nodded. "I have some tapes here. They were recorded when I was in college and I ran a foreign language corner. They're perfect for everyone to practice their listening skills."
"The number of tapes is limited, but we can play them one by one at a time each day, and then play them again after one round. The more times we play them, the stronger everyone's memory will be."
As she spoke, she pulled out seven cassette tapes. "This is enough for a week, each about an hour and a half, some up to two hours."
Director Guan couldn't help but take it, and turned around to put a cassette tape into the box-like tape recorder. He pressed a few buttons to adjust it, and soon Ke Meiyu's clear and melodious voice flowed out.
After she finished her opening remarks at the foreign language corner and began the main text, only half a minute later, everyone in the office was stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
Since the resumption of the college entrance examination, the organization has been very strict in its management of education.
Mastering math, physics, and chemistry means you can go anywhere in the world without fear.
However, the organization has repeatedly emphasized the importance of foreign languages in its meetings. China's development started later than other countries, and it often needs to rely on technology from other nations; therefore, learning foreign languages is crucial.
So after an advocacy meeting, the Kyoto newspaper immediately released a stunning news article, which was also broadcast on radio.
The foreign language learning experiences most people have had are quite serious and tedious, starting with the alphabet and phonetics, then moving on to short sentences, grammar, and so on. Even the articles are mostly narrative, mainly testing the application of knowledge.
They discovered from this broadcast that foreign languages could be learned in this way. Although they didn't understand anything, it sounded pleasant to listen to. The combination of fun and practical information made it irresistible.
This is truly a feast for foreign languages!
This radio broadcast ran for half a month and was even recorded on cassette tape, with very impressive sales.
Now that they've heard it again, they're somewhat confused.
However, Director Guan immediately realized what was happening, took out the tape, and replaced it with another one. When they heard the familiar yet exceptionally clear voice again, everyone already knew the answer!
After listening to the beginnings of the seven tapes, Director Guan looked at Ke Meiyu and asked, "Comrade Ke, did you record these?"
