Soon, Ke Meiyu's voice came from the loudspeaker. At that time, she was facing more than 200 college students. Inspired by these students, she was full of enthusiasm and gave a very passionate speech. Her opening remarks, which only lasted a few minutes, were like a pot of concentrated chicken soup, which was nutritious and very effective!
People listening to the loudspeaker couldn't help but stop what they were doing and listen intently, wishing they could engrave every word into their hearts.
After the inspirational talk, the conversation naturally turned to the main topic. People who, like Director Guan and others, enjoy listening to the radio to know what's going on around the world also realized what was going on and were quite surprised, their minds not quite processing it.
Wait a minute, the voices in the motivational speech, the overall voices, and the voices from the conversation just now are definitely from the same person, and the styles are very similar.
The cassette tape that aired was so popular that even kids on the street could spout a few words of a foreign language with perfect pronunciation.
They clearly remembered that the cassette tape recording and the newspaper article were both signed by Yu Mengni, the intern at the Kyoto Daily, who later became a full-time employee and rose through the ranks to become the deputy director.
Ha, before Ke Meiyu made the announcement, no one would have thought much of it. After all, there really are people who don't care about fame and just want to quietly and mediocrely do their jobs.
But now everyone has realized that the organization attaches great importance to foreign languages. If Yu Mengni really has such great abilities, wouldn't she be giving lectures everywhere to improve the national foreign language level? Would she have faded into obscurity after that craze because all the valuable information had been given out?
The only explanation is that Yu Mengni plagiarized someone else's work. Unfortunately, information is not readily available now, and people have never seen or heard of Yu Mengni, so of course they don't know about these things.
The Kyoto Daily is the largest and most authoritative newspaper in Xia Hua. It has many editors, writers, and reporters, as well as its own printing plant. The newspaper's office space is very large, consisting of a five-story building with a somewhat European style!
The newspaper office has a lot of people and the pressure is greater than in other places. They have to publish a newspaper every day, and each issue goes through many steps, including selecting articles, screening, reviewing, revising, finalizing, printing, and distributing.
The employees were busy almost from the moment they stepped into the office building, practically running all the way.
Yu Mengni, dressed in a royal blue suit, with her hair neatly pulled back and makeup on, sat in her office pouring tea and flipping through the manuscripts submitted below, making notes with a pen.
Looking up through the window as if sensing something, she saw a group of people huddled together, seemingly discussing something. When they saw her, they scattered with a bang, but their expressions were filled with resentment and contempt.
She chuckled softly.
When she was in the provincial capital, she considered herself superior because of her family's wealth and had been arrogant since childhood, believing that no one could compare to her. But when she came to the capital, she was seen as a country bumpkin by everyone, and even though she was quite capable, she was still bullied like a newcomer.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to intercept Ke Meiyu's recordings and letters, she would probably still be sitting outside, suppressing her anger as she listened to others showing off their Kyoto roots, who their relatives were, what nice clothes they got today, and where their family gatherings were tomorrow.
Yu Mengni stood up, walked outside, and said indifferently, "What are you all doing? You think it's time to leave work, so your minds aren't here? So many of you are only responsible for one page of the manuscript, and look at you, always dragging your feet, but you're so eager to leave work!"
"If you put the same effort into your work as you do into your appearance, you wouldn't have been stuck in this big office for years without ever moving!"
She would come every few days, regardless of whether the people outside were old and about to retire, and she would say whatever she wanted.
Usually at this point, everyone is angry but dares not vent, and silently endures it with their heads down.
But today, a hot-tempered, newly arrived intern couldn't help but sneer: "Excuse me, Deputy Director Yu, we have a lot of pride and wouldn't dare to just take other people's things and put our own names on them. Otherwise, we could also work in a private room."
Yu Mengni was taken aback, then said coldly, "What do you mean by that?"
She's always been bold; once she does something, she's determined not to admit it. Often, people are just spreading rumors without any real evidence. So, as long as she remains calm, the rumors will simply fall apart.
"Ha, you really have a thick skin. A person with real talent wouldn't act arrogantly in their own backyard. No wonder you refused all invitations after you published that article, afraid of being exposed!"
"Tsk tsk, one shouldn't have crooked thoughts, because once you do, it becomes a habit. People see something good and want to put their own names on it. I wonder how many articles Deputy Director Yu used to climb to this position?"
“Where did you hear these things? You’re in the news industry, not a tabloid that makes up anything to grab attention,” Yu Mengni said, keeping her composure and expressing her disapproval.
“I know you’re not convinced by me. You think I’m too young, and that you’re just as capable as me in every way, yet I became your leader. That’s because you haven’t seen my hard work and dedication.”
"While you're chatting, go out and gather some news; it might bring in some extra income for the family..."
"Oh my, even at a time like this, she's still putting on an act?" another woman said in a sarcastic tone. "Xiao Li, let's guess how long this Deputy Director Yu can stay in the room? I bet she'll be called in for a talk by the boss before she leaves work today."
"Haha, I guess half an hour..."
"The person who shouted might be on their way..."
"The phone will probably ring in less than five minutes!"
Yu Mengni realized something was wrong at this moment. These people were obviously acting recklessly. If they didn't really know something, how could they be so disregardful of her?
