Chapter 111 Go to confront Reporter Chen
Sister-in-law Yu was so angry that her face turned red and her neck bulged.
"You, you, Cen Yan, stop with your sweet talk! Ladies, don't be fooled by this wicked woman! The reporters didn't contact me immediately, but interviewing you, Cen Yan, is against the rules. At the very least, they should also..."
Sister Yu's eyes caught sight of Wang Lijuan outside the crowd, and a sudden inspiration struck her.
"At the very least, they should interview a veteran military spouse like Director Wang before they can truly convince us!"
Cen Yan looked at Wang Lijuan and asked, "Teacher's wife, is that what you think?"
Wang Lijuan wanted nothing more than to pounce on Yu Saozi and bite her to death. What was that idiot doing? What good would it do to turn the tables on Wang Lijuan?
As the political commissar's family member, Wang Lijuan was naturally aware of the propaganda department and reporter Chen's plans. Moreover, she was right next to Lao Lu when they discussed this column about military spouses, and even chimed in with a few words.
Minister Wang and reporter Chen initially aimed for the same standards as radio stations recruiting female anchors; they wanted military wives like Cen Yan, who had a good image, elegant demeanor, a formal job, and were "controversial."
Wang Lijuan never intended to compete for an interview opportunity from the very beginning. But that brainless Yu Saozi passed the buck to her, which is no different from taking on a hot potato. Either way, it's not a good situation for her.
Seeing Wang Lijuan trembling with anger and remaining silent, Sister Yu immediately urged, "Director Wang, don't be afraid. Your comrades are all your strong support. Who were the reporters originally going to interview?"
"Stop it! Sister-in-law Yu, what are you doing making such a fuss in this pouring rain!" Wang Lijuan was a little angry with Cen Yan and didn't want to speak up for her, but she also didn't want to lie, so she simply pretended to be stupid and changed the subject.
Seeing that Wang Lijuan was keeping to herself, Sister Yu choked on her words, "In short, others may be afraid of you, Cen Yan, but I, Niu Xiaofen, am not. Cen Yan, you must have been gossiping behind everyone's back and stealing everyone's interview opportunities."
"Comrades, an interview with the Liberation Daily is a great honor that will bring glory to your ancestors. If you don't fight for it now, who knows what Cen Yan will take from us ordinary people in the future, relying on her husband being a regimental-level cadre? Bah! Bloodsucking capitalists."
"Where there is exploitation, there is resistance! I, Niu Xiaofen, will be the first to resist Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan! Down with autocratic and exploitative capitalism!"
Cen Yan's polite smile slowly faded and disappeared completely. Aunt Yu said she would do anything, but if Qi Jingchuan, her protector, was involved, then this matter would never be over!
“Both sides have their own reasons. If you ladies don’t mind taking up too much time, then come with me and Sister-in-law Yu and let’s clear things up.” Cen Yan grabbed Sister-in-law Yu’s arm and pulled her outside.
Aunt Yu was pulled into the rain by Cen Yan. The cold rain cooled her down a bit. "Where are you taking me! Cen Yan, let go of me!"
"let go?"
Cen Yan sneered, "Didn't you insist that I stole someone's interview slot and did something disgusting? No matter what I say, I can't clear my name. Sister-in-law Yu, reporter Chen from the Liberation Daily is staying at the guesthouse right now. Let's go find him directly. If you have any doubts, ask reporter Chen face to face, so you don't have to go back to the family compound and spew filth at people!"
"You won't listen to my explanation, but surely you'll believe what the reporter from the Liberation Daily says!"
Should we take her to the reporters to get to the bottom of this? Aunt Yu panicked and struggled, "It's raining so hard, what if I get soaked? I'm not going."
"If you get sick from the rain, I'll personally give you an injection in the butt at the clinic. I guarantee it'll cure you. Come with me! If we don't get to the bottom of this today, neither of us will be able to live a peaceful life!"
Cen Yan shouted sharply, tightly gripping Aunt Yu's arm. She had been making a scene just now, but now she was afraid to go find a witness.
You, Niu Xiaofen, have no choice but to go!
