Ye Xingguang had to work overtime on her first day at the TV station.
Although KOCO is owned by the Ye’s Family, there were no special privileges. Wanting to interview the leading presidential candidate required camping out at the hotel entrance along with other media, waiting until almost eight in the evening, mind spinning with hunger.
That leading presidential candidate, Ye Shiting, the one who had shared her post on social media and referred to her as his younger sister, was reportedly having dinner in this hotel tonight. His companions were the financial conglomerates and political elites supporting him from behind the scenes.
Feeling ravenously hungry, Ye Xingguang drank a lot of water which led her to need the toilet urgently.
On her return from the hotel bathroom, she unexpectedly bumped into Ye Junqing washing his hands at the unisex washbasin. To add to the awkwardness, her stomach grumbled embarrassingly loud. The situation was extremely awkward.
To alleviate the awkwardness, she broke the silence, “Hi, what a coincidence to run into you here. I was recruited by the TV station today. I am an intern reporter for them. I never thought I would spend my first day on the job waiting outside this hotel. I haven’t even been able to eat dinner yet. Being a reporter is truly an admirable job.”
Before she had even finished explaining, Ye Junqing walked away, completely ignoring her.
Feeling more embarrassed, Ye Xingguang wished she could slap herself in the face.
Upon returning outside the hotel, the more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She regretted not appearing more detached, as he had.
After revisiting the scenario in her head countless times, tactically placing more indifference into her response to Ye Junqing, and finally feeling vaguely satisfied, she saw the highly popular presidential candidate exiting the hotel, surrounded by his bodyguards.
Reporters swarmed in immediately.
It was Ye Xingguangs first day as an intern, lacking experience, Chang Qinghua instructed her to just observe. However, she stood on the periphery of the experienced journalists, listen closely to their questions, learning from their expertise.
Her gaze inevitably landed on Ye Junqing and Ye Shiting.
The Ye’s were reputed to have two notable members, Ye Shiting and Ye Junqing.
One was in politics, the other in business.
If Ye Shiting was to become the future ruler of A-country, then Ye Junqing was the uncrowned king of the business world, supporting Ye Shitings ascension. Without Ye Junqings significant financial backing, Ye Shitings presidential campaign would not have run so smoothly.
The reporters, upon seeing the two Ye’s brothers together, didn’t miss the chance to also question Ye Junqing.
“Mr. Ye, is the ‘Carp Maiden’ from today’s Weibo post the person given to you by the civil affairs bureau?”
“Mr. Ye, is the Carp Maiden’s Weibo post true? Are you satisfied with the Carp Maiden given to you by the state?”
Ye Xingguang was stupefied, fellow journalists, can’t you ask questions related to current affairs?
It was clear that Ye Junqing had no intention to respond, but Ye Shiting, standing next to him, leaned on his brother’s shoulder, laughing as he responded, “My sister herself spoke, could there be any falsehood?”
“But isn’t Mr. Ye a staunch bachelor, even declaring that if anyone was to be matched with him, they should prepare a grave for themselves? We hope Mr.
Ye can reveal the name of this girl. We are seriously concerned for her safety.” Ye Xingguang looked at the persistent male journalist. I’ll remember you! She couldn’t help but clasp her hands together, Ye Junqing, please don’t spill my name..
