Chapter 78 Self-Awareness
Yu Li is someone who can't stand being wronged at all.
If you have a grudge, you must settle it on the spot.
Otherwise, she would feel so frustrated that she couldn't sleep all night.
For example, right now, she didn't originally intend to show off her love or flaunt her wealth.
Unfortunately, some people just can't stand to see others doing well. However, since the other person wasn't making sarcastic remarks in private but in front of her, it's understandable.
So she was a little more polite and replied in a sarcastic tone in front of the other person.
The other person's face immediately turned green.
The others joined in, scrutinizing the pink diamond on Yu Li's ring finger.
"The color of this diamond, which displays a dazzling array of colors and fire under the light, can't possibly be fake. It might even be worth more than a small target."
"Wow, Yu Li, is your husband really a super-rich man? You're so lucky!"
"Buying such an expensive pink diamond isn't something just any rich person could do, right? Yu Li, what does your husband do?"
"Is that even a question? It must be some big shot in the Beijing circle, and definitely someone we're not at the level to get in touch with. But it's normal that Yu Li was able to get an exclusive interview with Director Qi and was able to get in touch with even higher-level big shots."
All around her were voices expressing envy towards Yu Li.
However, at times like these, there are always villains who spoil the fun.
"The top executives in Beijing are all older, either married for many years or with children who are already well-behaved."
Qi Jianyue's annoying voice rang out at this crucial moment.
She covered her mouth, deliberately feigning surprise: "Could it be that, Yu Li, you married a divorced CEO and are now eager to become his stepmother?"
"Seeing how devoted you've been, your 'daddy' husband bought you this pink diamond as a token of his affection, right?"
As she spoke, Qi Jianyue sighed, "I didn't believe before that someone would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on the back of a bicycle for money."
"It seems I haven't met enough poor people and don't understand their thoughts. Now I've seen it for myself."
This sarcastic and sarcastic speech was so over-the-top that even the colleagues around him couldn't stand it anymore.
But they dared not offend Qi Jianyue, because everyone in the station knew that Qi Jianyue was a rich girl from a wealthy family, and that she had single-handedly secured many of the station's investments.
So even though her professional skills were far inferior to Yu Li's, she had always been able to hold her own against Yu Li.
However, the current situation of balanced competition has changed.
Yu Li has gained a certain reputation through celebrity interviews and is now highly valued by the station's senior management.
On the other hand, Qi Jianyue suffered a blow that resulted in almost total annihilation.
Ma Jiande and Cao Wen, the core members of her team, are both still in prison working as sewing machines.
Qi Jianyue was lucky; she wasn't implicated at all.
It's said that her family used connections, but the fact that she managed to get away unscathed, even reaching the police station, shows that Qi Jianyue's family background is not simple.
Yu Li was already used to Qi Jianyue's sarcastic remarks and slanderous attacks whenever she couldn't beat him.
She merely raised an eyebrow and asked in return, "So, you've met my husband?"
Qi Jianyue scoffed disdainfully, "How could I have ever met your husband?"
Yu Li said, "Since you haven't met him, you're making such a fuss about how my husband is old, ugly, divorced, and has a child. Although I'm not a law student, I'm not ignorant of the law."
"You've fabricated a whole story of defamation with your mouth. If we call the police, it would be enough to get you charged with defamation, wouldn't it?"
"It seems you were quite disappointed that you couldn't go in last time, so you can't wait to go in and reunite with your two companions?"
Yu Li's attack was a precise strike, not only turning the tables on her, but also exposing the shameful things Qi Jianyue had done before.
Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the others followed suit, covering their mouths and laughing.
Qi Jianyue's face darkened, but she was no match for Yu Li in a verbal battle, so she could only threaten her on another matter.
"I won't argue with you. After all, we have a morning meeting soon, and today is the last day of the deadline for your pledge."
"But it seems your good luck has run out. Don't really think you're blessed by the gods. An ordinary woman from the bottom of society, trying to invite a top superstar, is really overestimating yourself."
Yu Li somewhat agreed with this point: "You're right about one thing. It was indeed much more difficult for me to invite Zhou Heran than for you to invite Qi Xiaoyun."
"After all, everyone in the station knows that you're an expert when it comes to using connections, a true veteran. How could we possibly compare to your skills?"
Qi Jianyue left with a dark face and a huff.
Her colleague was laughing so hard her stomach hurt. "Yu Li, when it comes to sharp tongue, I admire you the most in our station. You're the first person to make Qi Jianyue so angry that she always loses."
Yu Li waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I only used one-tenth of my strength; the opponent was too weak."
But some people were worried for her: "Qi Jianyue is right about one thing, today is the deadline, Yu Li, can you really invite Zhou Heran?"
"I'm afraid it's unlikely. I remember that the Boom band has a tour recently. Yesterday, the band was in a county in Beijing. Zhou Heran probably doesn't have time to participate in the interview, right?"
They all felt that Yu Li was in serious trouble this time.
Moreover, they haven't heard a word that Zhou Heran will be coming.
But Yu Li remained remarkably calm, tidying up her notebook before heading straight to the meeting.
At the meeting, Qi Jianyue took the lead: "Director, I have already arranged the interview time with Qi Xiaoyun for tomorrow. As long as the editing goes smoothly, it can be broadcast next Sunday."
The director was very satisfied.
"I've always had great confidence in your abilities, Jian Yue. If the show airs smoothly and receives a good response, I will recommend you to the higher-ups."
"At our TV station, everyone who gets promoted must rely on their real talent and ability. Anyone who is capable and can contribute to the station can run for the position of deputy director."
This director is truly a shrewd person; he can say whatever he wants to people.
During the last meeting, they confidently promised Yu Li a great deal, saying that as long as Yu Li could invite Zhou Heran in the second episode and maintain the level of the first episode, she would be able to achieve her goal.
With the popularity of her celebrity interviews, Yu Li easily secured the position of deputy director.
Now, upon hearing that Qi Jianyue had already won over Qi Xiaoyun, they once again painted the rosy picture of the deputy director position for Qi Jianyue.
"As long as I can contribute to the station, I don't really care about the position."
“I believe Yu Li is more capable than me. Today is the deadline, and I suppose she has already won over Zhou Heran. So I won’t bother with the deputy director position.”
Qi Jianyue's scheming remark successfully drew everyone's attention to Yu Li.
Yu Li, who was twirling her pen, slammed it down on the table upon hearing this.
"Given your level, this kind of commotion is definitely not something you should be involved in. It's good that people have self-awareness, and I hope you can maintain this awareness in the future."
