Wen looked directly at Tong Xue and calmly replied, "To me, the photinia flower has little value. After all, I was still learning at the time, and the works I produced were not perfect."
"So you mean, you actually have someone teaching you behind the scenes, right?" Tong Xue continued to ask, her gaze becoming increasingly sharp.
First, they questioned the authenticity of the person named Shi Nan Hua.
He then gave an irrelevant answer, implying that Wen Yi had someone backing him up.
They played a very big game of chess.
Wen Yi's face didn't show much expression. She met Tong Xue's gaze, and everyone was waiting to see how she would respond to Tong Xue's words.
It also relates to how to explain Tong Xue's doubts.
After about a minute of this stalemate, Wen Yi suddenly asked, "Did Miss Tong learn this on her own?"
"What?" Tong Xue was surprised that Wen Yi would choose to ask a question in return.
Wen Yi continued to ask, "Did Miss Tong embark on her career as a journalist and now sit in this position without any formal training? Did she learn everything on her own, without any guidance from teachers or industry veterans?"
Wen Yi's voice was gentle, and her expression was mild, but her words were sharp.
Every sentence and word is one that most people wouldn't be able to answer.
Tong Xue chuckled dismissively, "Ms. Wen Yi, you certainly have a silver tongue. However, you seem to have confused some things."
Tong Xue's face turned cold. "A teacher is a teacher, and a benefactor behind them is a benefactor, which is another matter entirely. Moreover, your benefactor may not even want to achieve any particular effect by pushing you into the limelight."
"May I ask the benefactor behind you, what effect do they hope to achieve by using you as a sword?" Wen Yi asked in a humble yet respectful manner.
Tong Xue's expression froze.
Wen Yi maintained a light smile, "Miss Tong, can you answer me? How many people and how many hands pushed you to this position?"
"Ms. Wen, please have some self-respect and don't use such insulting words to define me."
“Miss Tong, please understand that all these questions I asked you stemmed from you asking me, and I am simply asking you the same questions. What, you can ask me these questions with such high and mighty authority, but it's considered humiliating when I do? I had no idea Miss Tong was so noble.”
Wen Yi did not give Tong Xue any words.
Tong Xue squinted at Wen Yi, not expecting to encounter such a formidable person.
When Tong Xue first received Wen Yi's message, she looked at the photo and background information but didn't take it seriously at all, thinking that he looked weak and easy to bully and wouldn't have any offensive power.
But now that I think about it, Tong Xue underestimated her.
Although Tong Xue initially suffered from underestimating her opponent, she quickly recovered and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Ms. Wen Yi is such a lovely person. I was just joking with her, and she took it so seriously. I'm sorry, I didn't know you were such a meticulous person."
This statement, ironically, makes Wen Yi look bad.
People are just joking around, saying things casually, but she takes it all too seriously, demanding this and that.
They want to step out from behind the scenes, but they still have pride and don't want others to talk about them.
Wen Yi didn't even need to turn around to know what the comments on the screen were saying about her.
Because of Wen Ge, she already had a terrible reputation online, and now she's being targeted by a well-known reporter like Tong Xue.
Whether watching online or offline, people subconsciously sided with Tong Xue.
Regardless of what Tong Xue and Wen Yi said, or who was right and had the most evidence in their argument, the key point is that the audience is against Wen Yi, and that's the result.
"I'm sorry, I'm not usually a very serious person, and I don't really have any limits when it comes to jokes. But I can read people's expressions. Miss Tong is so serious, so naturally I'll respond seriously in return."
"Oh, by the way, Miss Tong, you haven't answered my question yet."
Wen Yi made a serious comeback.
If we're going to take this seriously, how should reporter Tong Xue respond?
“I have many mentors, starting from my university major and then entering the industry. The seniors in this industry are always generous in helping the younger generation. In addition, I also have some talent, so it is natural that I am in this position, not someone else.”
"Oh, I know."
"So, Ms. Wen, what about my question?"
"Your question is that I have many mentors behind me, not only in the journalism industry, but also in the directing industry. Moreover, I believe that seniors in all industries are generous and never stingy in helping juniors."
When I first entered the industry, I started as an assistant director. I was appreciated and given opportunities, all thanks to the generosity of my seniors.
"Oh, so many assistant directors, but you only chose Ms. Wen Yi. It really makes me think that Ms. Wen Yi is very capable."
"Among so many female college students, only Ms. Tong has reached this position today. I can only say that Ms. Tong is hardworking and dedicated, truly amazing, and a role model for many people to learn from."
Compared to being sarcastic or subtly humiliating people, Wen Yi is not at a disadvantage.
If it were the old Wen Yi, she wouldn't have said so much at this point; she would have just obediently answered Tong Xue's questions and tried to prove her innocence.
But Wenyi today is not what it used to be.
She has already shown her sharp edge, refusing to yield to anyone, and is covered in thorns, ready to prick anyone who comes looking for trouble.
Tong Xue's face looked extremely ugly.
At this moment, the host also received a message from the director of the talk show in the audience, and hurriedly stood up to remind everyone that time was up and to end the verbal battle between Tong Xue and Wen Yi.
"In the end, I still want to wish Ms. Wen Yi all the best," Tong Xue said. "Since you were chosen to be the director of 'The Rhododendron Flower,' I hope you are a capable person, not just a marketing shill."
That's pretty straightforward.
He publicly accused Wen Yi of not being a photinia flower, but rather a product of capital behind the scenes used to make money.
Normally, one wouldn't say it so openly. Like Tong Xue just now, it's more like a veiled sarcasm. If it were said too explicitly, it would make Tong Xue seem too low-class.
And it's easy to be proven wrong.
Wen Yi lowered her head and smiled faintly. After provoking Tong Xue so much, she finally heard these words.
Tong Xue has the same problem as Lin Manqing: arrogance.
However, Lin Manqing's arrogance was arrogant and dismissive of everyone; it was straightforwardness that was out in the open.
Tong Xue, on the other hand, is more artistic and reserved. She is inherently arrogant and looks down on everyone, believing that she has always put everyone else below her.
It belongs to the category of overt gentleness and covert sarcasm.
Wen looked up at the host with a smile on her face.
"Director Shi Nanhua, may I ask you a question?"
"Excuse me."
"You've always been reluctant to appear in public, so why did you choose to meet with the audience this time?"
The host was also looking at the script when he asked the question.
Actually, she felt that it was best not to ask this question at this point, but the director had just reminded her that she had to follow the script, so she had no choice.
I wonder what they've planned?
