Chapter 295: Scheming
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gong Xin felt that her symptoms today were incomparable to any she had experienced before. They were merely a nuisance, tarnishing her stage presence but posing no real threat to her life.
Gu Zi, however, remained silent. Indeed, Gong Xin had been allergic to papaya since childhood, and Gu Zi had seen her allergic reactions before – they were identical to h er condition today.
But how could Gong Xin exhibit the same symptoms as a papaya allergy when she had only consumed sweet potato sugar water and not a shred of papaya?
“Gu Zi, I really can’t thank you enough for today! You’re absolutely stunning, a true goddess!”
At this point, the radio station staff all came over to express their gratitude to Gu Zi. If it weren’t for her stepping in to save the day, they would have had to endure a torrent of criticism, and their monthly bonuses would have been in jeopardy.
Sister Chen stood to the side, her eyes filled with admiration as she watched Gu Zi, a proud smile playing on her lips.
She said to the male leader, “This is my trump card. In terms of broadcasting and hosting skills, she’s clearly surpassed even me, a veteran in the radio industry. In the future, you need to be more discerning.”
The male leader didn’t dare to utter a word of rebuttal. Gu Zi’s performance had left him astounded, and his perception of Sister Chen, the eccentric, single, older woman, had significantly improved.
He thought to himself that he might not encounter another broadcaster as outstanding as Gu Zi for at least the next ten years. He felt both relieved and regretful.
He said, “I truly admit defeat this time, and I admire you. I’ve only just realized that you’re a leader who can accommodate others.”
A leader who cannot accommodate others will not have truly capable subordinates.
Sister Chen adjusted her glasses and said to the male leader, “You don’t need to admire me. Just stop causing trouble for our department behind our backs, thank you.”
The male leader, recalling his previous actions, scratched his head awkwardly,
“No problem.”
With that, the male leader, who had been at odds with Sister Chen since his transfer, shook hands with her in reconciliation.
After everyone else had finished their compliments, Sister Chen approached Gu Zi and said, “You truly are my lucky star, and the station’s as well. This is your bonus!”
In front of everyone, Sister Chen took out two hundred yuan from her bag and handed it to Gu Zi. Gu Zi looked puzzled, “Sister Chen, what is this?”
Sister Chen stuffed the money into Gu Zi’s hand, “Even though you’ve left the radio station, you really did us a big favor today. Accept it, you’ve earned it.”
Gong Xin led the applause from the side, “Accept it! Accept it!” The others joined in the chant.
Gu Zi graciously accepted the bonus. Lin Miao had been backstage with Gong Zhan for a while now, watching Gu Zi bask in the compliments and glow with pride. Her hand, hanging by her side, clenched tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.
The radio station staff, having other matters to attend to, gradually dispersed, leaving only Gu Zi, Gong Xin, Lin Miao, and Gong Zhan in the backstage lounge. The atmosphere among the four was indescribably strange.
Lin Miao stepped forward with a smile, “Sister, what brings you to the city today? It’s such a coincidence that you came to Xinghua Department Store, and Gong Xin just happened to be unable to perform, so you were pulled in to save the day. If we had known you were coming, we should have invited you directly. ”
Gu Zi glanced at Lin Miao, fully aware of her status as a married woman, and didn’t even look at Gong Zhan standing next to her.
Although the male lead in the original book was indeed handsome, Gu Zi felt that he lacked the masculine charm and mature stability that Su Shen had. This was something Su Shen could give her, and her husband Su Shen was also handsome!
Finally, Gu Zi turned her gaze to Gong Xin standing next to her, and said to Gong Xin, “Just because I’m now living in the countryside doesn’t mean I can’t come to the city, right? You guys from the big city are really something.”
Gu Zi ignored Lin Miao’s sarcastic comment, but mimicked her tone perfectly.
The implication of Lin Miao’s words was clear: she was insinuating that Gong Xin’s mishap today was all part of Gu Zits elaborate scheme.
Gong Zhan had never liked Gu Zi’s manipulative tactics, and now that his own sister was the victim, he was even less inclined to tolerate Gu Zi. His sister had been prevented from performing and yet still trusted Gu Zi, naively standing by her side.
Seeing that Gu Zi didn’t even glance at him, he felt even more strongly that this woman was full of cunning schemes.. She had deliberately come here to show off, pretending to be indifferent to him, thinking that he would take the bait and become her backup plan?
