Chapter 168 I've Come to Seek Refuge with You
Qi Jianyue's gaze towards Yu Li was filled with undisguised hatred, as if it were poisoned.
As she walked towards Yu Li, Xu Hui immediately blocked Yu Li's path.
"Qi Jianyue, I advise you to consider whether you can bear the consequences before you do anything."
"Besides, it was your own fault for using connections and getting exposed, which led to your loss of your job. It has nothing to do with anyone else. You brought this all on yourself."
Yu Li patted Xu Hui on the shoulder, "Sister Hui, it's okay. Even if there were ten of her, they wouldn't be a match for me."
Qi Jianyue gave a cold laugh, "Yu Li, you're quite pleased with yourself, aren't you? No wonder you were so confident that I wouldn't be able to laugh for more than two days after I became the deputy director."
"From the very beginning, you planned this all along, setting me up for this at the banquet. But if you hadn't been incredibly lucky and married well, do you think you could have won this round?"
Even now, Qi Jianyue still believes that she lost because she didn't know that Yu Li was Qi Chenyan's new wife.
If it weren't for Qi Chenyan's appearance yesterday, Yu Li would have completely lost.
Qi Jianyue was extremely unwilling. She should have won easily, but who could have imagined that she could actually let a poor country bumpkin like Yu Li hook up with Qi Chenyan.
To say that Qi Chenyan is blind is an understatement; he can even fall for a country woman.
Upon hearing these words, which were filled with resentment and barely concealed, intense jealousy, Yu Li actually smiled.
"Qi Jianyue, while you're jealous that I married well, why don't you reflect on yourself? You have neither ability nor strength. You keep saying you rely on yourself, but whether it's business development or your position, which one of them wasn't obtained through your connections with the Qi family?"
"Even if I benefited from my husband's fame, I can say without any shame that I have solid professional skills and outstanding achievements."
"Looking across the entire blue sky, at least so far, no one has been able to break my viewership record. Just based on this alone, I am right to sit in this deputy director position."
Yu Li's every word was forceful, and the colleagues who were watching the spectacle echoed her sentiments.
"That's right, Yu Li is much more capable than Qi Jianyue. This deputy director position should have been Yu Li's."
"Someone who relies entirely on connections has the nerve to question someone as capable and talented as Yu Li. I really don't know where she gets the audacity."
"She's already been dismissed from the station and expelled from the Party. She's completely lost face, hasn't she? Just this stain alone will probably make it impossible for her to work in the news industry anymore."
Qi Jianyue's face grew darker and darker. Listening to these people's sarcasm, she gritted her teeth in hatred.
But now, having lost the protection of the Qi family, she can no longer do as she pleases as before.
Yu Li glanced at the time and said, "Instead of arguing with me about these pointless things, we should hurry up and catch the bus. After all, buses to the countryside don't come around all the time."
"You look down on me for coming from the countryside, but you were originally from the countryside too. You don't really think that just because you've lived in a big city for over twenty years, you have the blood of a phoenix flowing through your veins, do you?"
When Qi Jianyue and Yu Li joined the station at the same time, Qi Jianyue often openly and subtly mocked Yu Li for being a country bumpkin.
They even said that people from the countryside all have a certain smell, a poor and shabby smell.
Now that she has been kicked out of the Qi family, lost her job, and is homeless, she naturally wants to return to her biological parents' home.
Does the wild pheasant really think that by sticking a few phoenix feathers on it, it can become a phoenix?
Yu Li never felt that being born in the countryside made her inferior.
We cannot choose our birth, but we can change our life through our efforts.
Even the Qi family, going back to the first generation, was not a wealthy family; their wealth was accumulated through later generations.
Qi Jianyue was aloof and looked down on the poor, and she herself was using someone else's identity.
Now it's time to set things right and return everything to its rightful owner.
"Yu Li, the humiliation I suffered today, I will repay you a thousandfold in the future. Just you wait!"
Faced with Qi Jianyue's threats, Yu Li shrugged, "Wait until you can find a TV station willing to hire you before you start talking tough to me. Otherwise, your threats are just like farts, they're useless except for being smelly."
"you!"
While Qi Jianyue was furious with Yu Li, the security guards were already shooing people away: "Aren't you leaving? Are you waiting to be thrown out?"
In the end, Qi Jianyue could only glare fiercely at Yu Li, then, clutching the cardboard box, flee amidst the laughter of the crowd.
Yu Li didn't want to let a brainless person affect her mood. Qi Jianyue had been fired, and this office was now hers.
When we were moving things, my colleagues all rushed to help, and we finished moving them in just an hour.
The two episodes of "Celebrity Interviews" were very well received, breaking the station's records one after another, and have been listed as a key program of the station.
The higher-ups have been urging Yu Li several times, asking how the copywriting for the third episode is going and who the invited guests are.
Yu Li had already planned that the third episode would invite outstanding female representatives.
Deng Bailing, a national first-class singer, has been the closing singer of the CCTV Taiwan Affairs Office Gala since its inception.
After Yu Li finished the plan and presented her ideas at the meeting, the meeting room fell silent again.
It was the director who spoke first: "Yu Li, I know that the two episodes of 'Celebrity Interviews' were very successful, and you deserve the most credit. I also believe that you are very capable."
"But Professor Deng is a national-level figure, and apart from CCTV's gala, he hasn't been invited to any programs for many years, let alone this kind of one-on-one interview."
It has to be said that it's no wonder Yu Li has achieved such success. Just looking at the list of guests she invites each time, it's enough to make people think that she's doing something out of a fantasy.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Professor Deng was on my initial list of guests. How would we know it wouldn't succeed if we didn't give it a try?"
Anyway, since Yu Li is the one producing the show, she dares to bring it up, and given the great success of the first two episodes, the director is naturally willing to approve it.
After finishing her work, Yu Li had just stepped off the elevator when the receptionist called out to her, "Yu Li, someone is looking for you. They say they're your sister, but when I asked them to call you, they refused and insisted on coming up to find you. I think this person is very likely a scammer, so I didn't let them come up."
Upon hearing the words "younger sister," Yu Li's smile instantly faded.
"Sis, what's wrong with your company's receptionist? She wouldn't let me go up, she really has no sense of propriety at all!"
Yu Li simply looked at the newcomer with a devoid of emotion, "Ren Qingxue, what brings you here?"
The person in front of her was Yu Li's half-sister.
“I’ve come to stay with you! I’ve heard from Mom that you got married and your husband is handsome and rich. How come you didn’t tell us about such a big event as your marriage? Where is your husband from and what does he do?”
Ren Qingxue affectionately linked arms with Yu Li.
But Yu Li immediately pulled it out, saying, "This has nothing to do with you."
