Chapter 65: Am I The Carp Girl? _1
After speaking, she unlocked her phone, clicked the video she had recorded the night before, and placed the phone on the conference table.
With the current trend of bashing Ye Junqing online, without some convincing evidence, it was impossible to counter the smear against him. If Ye Junqing said this video was to handle the civil affairs bureau’s issue, it meant he permitted it to be public, right?
Until the video finished playing, the meeting room was still quiet as a graveyard. By instinct, some people looked out the window, and the sun hadn’t set in the west.
The department head looked stunned: “Ye Xingguang, are you sure this video is real, not fake?”
Ye Xingguang said calmly: “Ye Junqing personally gave it to me. It shouldn’t be fake, right?”
Rebecca Perry’s voice sharpened: “Weren’t you crying while leaving the swimming pool? Why would Ye Junqing possibly give you this kind of video?”
“Yes, I was crying when I left the swimming pool, but the task the head gave me, no matter how difficult it is, I would do whatever it takes. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be betraying the trust that the head has placed in me?”
Ye Xingguang spoke with a high voice, not forgetting to highlight her effort: “Head, Ye Junqing indeed didn’t want to deal with me, but relying on my gift of gab and determination that keeps me going when the going gets tough, finally moved Ye Junqing. Although he did not accept my interview, he gave me this video clip to bring back.”
“Good, good, good, hahaha!”
The department head laughed three times.
“This is truly seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Ye Xingguang, you’ve pulled off a real coup this time!”
“Head, this is what I should do, I’m glad I could fulfill my task.”
Good good good, the more the department head looked at Ye Xingguang, the more satisfied he was. Their department needed this kind of capable, responsible, and modest young people.
Other members of the department also began to speak:
“l can’t believe that Ye Xingguang, who just started working, was able to touch Ye Junqing. This isn’t something one can accomplish with charming words alone, Ye Xingguang, well done.”
“While the girl in the video was a bit dramatic, the adoring look on Ye
Junqings face was simply unimaginable. No one would ever believe that Ye
Junqing was actually a domesticated good man, even making steak for the girl.
The video is so touching. This video can definitely turn around his spoiled image. I’ll edit it now.”
“l still can’t believe that Ye Junqing would personally cook a steak for her. Did Ye Junqing fall in love with her at first sight? The video really looks like a couple deeply in love. I’m captivated by the tenderness and indulgence in Ye Junqing’s eyes. The public would surely not be able to resist his charm when he’s tender like this. I’ll write the copy now.”
“Why do I feel like the girl’s voice sounds a bit like Ye Xingguangs voice. Or is it just my imagination?”
Ye Xingguang caught her breath, calmed herself for two seconds, then exclaimed in surprise: “Ah, it does seem so. Could it be because the girl in the video is actually me? I was at the Northern District Civil Affairs Bureau drawing lots for my partner on July 1st as well. Head, could you let the station promote me for free? I really want to be famous.”
At her words, everyone burst into laughter at her cheeky remark.
Only Rebecca Perry clenched her fists.
She hadn’t expected Ye Xingguang to accomplish so much as soon as she joined the station, earning the admiration of higher-ups while she, also an intern, was left standing still. The disparity, one that the prideful Rebecca
Perry could hardly bear..
