Chapter 550 Unwilling
Some people never blame themselves no matter how big a mistake they make. They never reflect on themselves and only make excuses and rationalizations for their actions.
Ji Liangping is like this now, and he doesn't think he is wrong.
Things in this world don't always follow rules; in fact, there are often unspoken rules. For example, when assigning jobs, those with connections and social skills tend to get better jobs. This is the way of the world.
It wasn't his fault that he couldn't arrange a job for Guan Yunxin at the TV station. It was Guan Yunxin who approached him first, seduced him, and he had rejected her before. It was Guan Yunxin herself who insisted on working at the TV station.
As for her contribution, it was her own free will, and neither he nor Lei Yanbin forced her. Moreover, when men and women make love, it is not just the men who enjoy it.
After some self-reflection, Ji Liangping felt that he had done nothing wrong. He picked up the phone and called the female dormitory manager, claiming to be Guan Yunxin's family member and asking her to answer the phone.
After the two of them spoke, Ji Liangping said, "Meet at Yunshan Coffee Shop on Zhongshan Road in an hour for work."
Guan Yunxin thought it was settled, so she happily agreed. Then she went back to the dormitory, put on some makeup, and went out. Yunshan Cafe was not close to the school, so she had to go there quickly.
It took more than 30 minutes to get there by bus. After entering, she saw Ji Liangping waving at her. She walked over and ordered a cup of coffee. She smiled and said to Ji Liangping, "Principal Ji, is this confirmed?"
Ji Liangping lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment before saying, "Yun Xin, there's no way I can arrange for you to go to the TV station."
Guan Yunxin was shocked. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. That was exactly what she was feeling now. Her mind was even a little blank. After a long while, the waiter came to serve coffee and she finally came out of her shock.
"How could it be?" Guan Yunxin's voice was sharp, but then she realized that her voice was too loud, so she lowered her voice again, "How could it be? Principal Ji, don't joke with me."
Her hands were shaking so badly, she couldn't accept this result.
"I didn't expect this to happen." Ji Liangping explained to her calmly, "Some time ago, Gu Siqing met Director Fu of the TV station. Director Fu told Gu Siqing in person that he invited her to work at the TV station."
"How could this happen?" Guan Yunxin still couldn't accept it. She asked, "How did Gu Siqing know Director Fu?"
"You should know something about Gu Siqing's background. Is it surprising that she knows the director of the TV station?" Ji Liangping said.
Guan Yunxin was very angry, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
Ji Liangping leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowed slightly as he said mockingly, "You're so smart, how could you not have thought of this?"
The two of them fell silent. Ji Liangping drank his coffee calmly, knowing he had nothing to lose. Guan Yunxin was furious but also helpless. She was unwilling to give so much only to have it all go to waste.
But what to do now?
She didn't know. After a while, Ji Liangping said, "I'm not a heartless person. Gu Siqing wants to work at a TV station. You can choose between the China Daily and the Workers' Daily. So many people have tried so hard to get into these two companies, but they just can't."
"Why not a national government department?" Guan Yun thought.
She knew that the National Propaganda Department had also invited Gu Siqing. If she couldn't go to the TV station, then the best choice would be the national government department.
"You'd think so," Ji Liangping snorted coldly, "Who knows if the job at the National Propaganda Department was arranged by Gu Siqing's family?"
Although this possibility is not great, because Gu Siqing chose to go to the TV station, but what if? He didn't dare to take any risks now, so it was better to resolve the matter peacefully.
"Is there no other way?" Guan Yunxin asked.
Does she resent Ji Liangping and Lei Yanbin? Of course.
But what could she do even if she hated him? She couldn't defeat Ji Liangping and Lei Yanbin.
Seeing that Guan Yunxin was smart enough not to argue with him, Ji Liangping sighed and said, "There's really nothing I can do. Yunxin, sometimes you just have to accept your fate. If you don't have that fate, even if you grit your teeth and work hard, you won't get the result you want."
It is said that a husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. They had made love in bed many times. Ji Liangping could not help but persuade:
"Both the Huaguo Daily and the Workers' Daily are excellent institutions. Choose one and go to work there. I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely do well there."
You're good-looking, graduated from Kyoto University, and have a good job, so you won't be bad at finding a partner. Isn't it good to work hard and live a stable life in the future?"
Guan Yunxin lowered her eyes and said nothing. She was unwilling to accept this. She felt that she should marry the best man.
"The clouds in the sky are clean and beautiful, and everyone likes them, but they are high above us." Ji Liangping added, "Those of us standing on the ground might not even be able to reach a corner of the cloud even if we tried our best. Even if you used all your strength and stood next to the cloud, can you guarantee that you would still be yourself at that time? Will the cloud like you at that time?"
Guan Yunxin still didn't say anything. Seeing this, Ji Liangping lost his patience and said, "I'll give you two days to think about it. I'm leaving now."
He stood up and was about to leave when Guan Yunxin suddenly said, "What if, I mean, Gu Siqing is willing to give me the job at the TV station?"
Ji Liangping's brows furrowed into a frown, his eyes etched with coldness. He sat down again and whispered, "Do you think Gu Siqing is easy to talk to?"
Guan Yunxin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Ji Liangping warned, "I advise you not to do anything stupid. Don't say that Gu Siqing has a strong family background. Even if she has no background, if you dare to go to her, you will end up with nothing.
Do you know Ling Pingying? She's a well-known Chinese female writer. She challenged Gu Siqing to a duel, and what happened? She was savaged by Gu Siqing in the newspapers, and ultimately marginalized by the Writers Association.
How do you think Gu Siqing got famous? How did so many organizations become interested in her writing skills? She got it by scolding Ling Pingying in the newspaper. You'd better think it over."
Giving Guan Yunxin another warning look, Ji Liangping stood up and left. Returning to the office, he called Lei Yanbin, "I just talked to Guan Yunxin. She actually had this crazy idea: she wants Gu Siqing to give her the TV station job."
Lei Yanbin on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and then said, "Then don't let her stay in Kyoto. Let her go back to her hometown to work."
Being in Kyoto is a bomb.
Ji Liangping felt a little reluctant, and then he heard Lei Yanbin say again: "Old Ji, you must not be indecisive on matters like this. If there is any mistake, we will be ruined. Guan Yunxin is too ambitious, and I am afraid that one day we will not be able to control him."
"Okay, I understand. I'll arrange for her to be assigned to the secondary allocation in her province." Ji Liangping said.
