Sister Chen was talking to Boss Huo about how wonderful Gu Zi was. She felt it was a pity that Gu Zi had married at such a young age, and to a man from the countryside no less, and now she was the mother of three children.
However, Sister Chen was relieved to see that Gu Zi looked well, dressed more elegantly than before. She must be living a comfortable life.
And her stepchildren seemed sensible. The eldest one even helped look after the younger ones. But there was something about the eldest child's cold gaze that was a little frightening.
Upon hearing Sister Chen's words, Boss Huo felt reassured. So, Gu Zi used to be a broadcaster!
His impression of her improved even more.
Su Shen did well. His wife was young, beautiful, and talented.
What a wonderful girl. It only his son could meet someone like her!
His son was under Su Shen's command in the military. It was a pity that Su Shen had plucked this flower first.
Boss Huo said, "Sister, for the sake of Su Shen, help me out, will you? You must know what's going on, right?"
Gu Zi replied, "Yes, I understand. But will it take a long time? I have things to do at home this afternoon. If it's going to take a long time, I can't do it." She had promised her sister-in-law that she would be home on the first day.
Boss Huo said, "It won't take long. I've already arranged for a foreign language host to come from elsewhere. You just need to help me hold on until the opening ceremony is over, then you can leave. By the way, Su Shen is here too. I'll take you up now."
Originally, because Sister Chen was Gu Zi's former boss, and Boss Huo was Su Shen's friend and partner, Gu Zi couldn't refuse this small request. Now that she heard Su Shen was there, she had no reason to refuse.
She nodded in agreement, took her children, and followed Boss Huo and Sister Chen to the top floor.
Due to the time constraint, Boss Huo asked Sister Chen to take her backstage to prepare, while he took the children to the VIP section to find Su Shen.
The children were excited to see their mother's hosting style soon and followed Boss Huo enthusiastically. Su Li kept looking back, making a fist and giving his mother a thumbs-up as a gesture of encouragement. Gu Zi responded with a gentle smile.
"Gu Zi, how did you get here?" Gu Zi was stopped as soon as she entered the backstage. She turned her head and saw no one, but when she looked down, she saw Gong Xin lying on a sofa by the wall, her face swollen from an allergic reaction.
Next to her were several radio station employees who had been scolded by another male leader and were feeling wronged.
Someone muttered, "You're looking for a foreign language talent now. Where did we have the chance to learn a foreign language when we were young?
"Exactly, you blame us, why don't you do it yourself?"
Gu Zi walked over to Gong Xin and asked, "What happened to you? I was just shopping, and now I've been dragged here to be your substitute."
Gong Xin rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "I don't know. I think I started itching after I drank sweet potato sugar water this morning. But I drink it every day."
The radio station provided sweet potato sugar water to the broadcasters every morning and afternoon to protect their voices.
Gong Xin drank it almost every day and had never had a problem. Who knew something would go wrong at such a crucial moment?
And it probably wasn't the sugar water's fault. There were other broadcasters who drank it today and were fine.
Gu Zi was suspicious, not of the sugar water itself, but of someone tampering with it.
But there was no time to discuss this now. Sister Chen handed her a copy of the opening script for her to skim through.
Another male leader from a different department, who had just transferred from another radio station and was not familiar with Gu Zits abilities, doubted, "What's the use of looking at it now? We have to go on stage in five minutes.
Let Gong Xin go on stage with a mask!"
With Gu Zi there, Gong Xin didn't want to go on stage looking like a ghost. With so many foreigners in the audience, wouldn't that be like losing face in front of the whole world?
She waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no, no, Gu Zi can do it. She has a photographic memory! "
Sister Chen also assured, "Yes, Gu Zi can even do it without a script. You can rest assured."
The male leader saw that Gu Zi was beautiful and thought she was just a pretty face. But he also knew Gong Xin's status and didn't dare to directly contradict Miss Gong.
