Chapter 57 - Being Slapped Ruthlessly (2/2)

“Yaoyao, just wait for the good show!” Bo Sijing’s anger and embarra.s.sment went away slightly at the thought of what was about to happen. They just needed to be patient.

…

After the second interview, the few people who had been accepted were invited to tour the broadcasting company and begin as interns the following Monday.

Nan Zhi was feeling a little thirsty and walked to the kitchenette to get some water. As she finished her drink, a sharp cold draught of air blew towards her just as she turned her head. Following that, a tight slap landed on her right cheek.

A fiery pain spread out instantly, staining her cheek pink. She blacked out for a few seconds as her head spun.

Several people, including a few interviewers who had exited the multimedia studio, looked towards her direction at the sound of the crisp slap.

Out of the four people they accepted this time, Han Mo had the highest hopes for Nan Zhi. She walked over immediately, seeing that Nan Zhi had been slapped by a fierce Lin Wanyue. She asked in confusion, Wanyue, why did you hit her?”

Lin Wanyue’s face was made up and twisted in aggravation, and her nostrils flared. She pointed at Nan Zhi’s nose and shouted in anger, without any regard for her image, “Chief Han, I’m really starting to question your working ability. Weren’t you the one who was always talking about high standards? Aren’t you embarra.s.sed to cover up for this type of person, who has such a questionable personality? What is it, any pretty face can come to work at the broadcasting company now?”

Han Mo furrowed her eyebrows. She was unhappy with Lin Wanyue’s att.i.tude. It was overstepping her boundaries and she wouldn’t be afraid to put her in her place. “Wanyue, are you questioning my ability in hiring people? You’d better clearly clarify today what you mean by your accusing words. How is Nan Zhi’s personality questionable?”

Nan Zhi’s skin was as white and tender as tofu. Five bright red finger prints had appeared on her delicate skin immediately after Lin Wanyue’s heavy slap. The prints were angry, red and swollen. The side of her lips were also bleeding.

Nan Zhi wiped away the blood at the side of her lips. She was not angered beyond control, nor was she fl.u.s.tered and exasperated. She merely stared at Lin Wanyue with eyes that were so calm that they were sharp and cold. She said slowly, her voice sharp and frosty, “Senior Lin, May I ask how I have offended you? What did I do to deserve this baffling slap from you?”

Nan Zhi was cold and calm. She did not bare her teeth in anger, even in such a situation. She did not look fearful at all as she stood opposite the unbearably arrogant Lin Wanyue. In fact, Lin Wanyue’s imposing manner seemed to deflate from Nan Zhi’s unruffled calmness.
