Li Chuchu voluntarily stepped back. "Senior sister, you should do it. I'm not very familiar with the process of hosting the evening party. You have more experience."
Mu Wan was munching on dried mangoes. Blinking her eyes like a squirrel with its cheeks stuffed, she mumbled, "Oh, this. It's okay. I'll teach you then. The process is very simple."
Li Chuchu: …
That wasn't what she meant!
The host position was extremely glamorous. Everyone in the factory's art and publicity team was eager for it. Every year, there was a lot of competition, both openly and secretly, but it always ended up with Mu Wan.
Mu Wan had an excellent image and temperament, as well as a superior voice. Among all the candidates, she stood out. For several consecutive years, it had become an unspoken rule that Mu Wan, the announcer from the broadcasting room, would be the host of every evening party.
Li Chuchu forced a smile. "Senior sister, that's not what I meant."
Unexpectedly, Mu Wan curled her lips slyly. "I know. I'm going back to the countryside to have dinner with my grandma during the Mid - Autumn Festival this year, so you have to take this position."
At the same time, she continued to put pressure on Li Chuchu. "Moreover, you represent the face of our broadcasting room. You can't slack off."
Li Chuchu thought: What should I do? It feels like I've fallen into a wolf's den. Does Senior Sister Mu Wan want to take revenge on me for working overtime for more than ten days?
Before she could say anything, Mu Wan clapped the sugar powder off her hands and reported Li Chuchu's name.
Then she turned around. "Well, being a host is also one of the essential qualities for an announcer. This is a great opportunity for you to exercise. Now you should start preparing for the host's activity process."
Li Chuchu almost whispered through gritted teeth, "Yes, senior sister."
Sometimes Li Chuchu felt that Mu Wan was like a beautiful and gentle senior sister NPC in a game who was responsible for assigning tasks.
As soon as she came back, she increased the difficulty of the work. It was really something!
What bothered her most was that being a host didn't pay!
Did the factory director really think he would give her a bonus just because she was a good host?
Li Chuchu sighed deeply and decided to go home for dinner first.
Food was the most important thing in the world.
…
"Yuxi, it seems that Mu Wan won't be the host from the broadcasting room this year."
"What?"
Zhu Yuxi was practicing dancing in the warehouse, preparing for the performance at the Mid - Autumn Festival evening party. Hearing this news, she frowned and came over to check.
Sure enough, she saw an unfamiliar name - "Li Chuchu".
"This seems to be the new announcer in the broadcasting room this year. She seems very low - key. I haven't noticed her before."
"Low - key? I'm afraid she's just too ugly to show up?"
Zhu Yuxi looked disdainful.
A girl beside her nudged the one who had spoken.
Who didn't know that Zhu Yuxi had caused quite a stir in order to compete for the host position? Now that an unknown newbie had taken the position over her, she must be feeling uncomfortable.
After hinting to the girl beside her, she quickly flattered Zhu Yuxi. "Sister Zhu, the broadcasting room must have allocated the host quota internally. Otherwise, this newbie has only been in the factory for less than a year. How could she be qualified to be a host? Can she compare with you, Sister Zhu?"
Zhu Yuxi was the daughter of the director of the power workshop in the factory. She had a crush on Chen Junsheng, the factory director's son, and wanted to attract his attention by competing for the host position, but she had never succeeded.
Wasn't she furious now?
Zhu Yuxi snorted.
After being told this, the anger and unwillingness in her heart flared up.
"A new announcer. How dare she take the host position? I'm going to see what great abilities she has."
Zhu Yuxi's face was full of anger. She didn't even have the mood to practice dancing anymore. She threw down her fan and left the warehouse.
…
Chen Junsheng knew that Li Chuchu had taken more than ten days of leave. As soon as he heard that she was back, he immediately went to the broadcasting room to find her.
He leaned lazily against the office desk. "Chuchu, what have you been doing these days? Why did it take so long? My dad heard that you took leave and told me to ask you."
Asking someone else to ask her might be dissatisfaction with her long - term leave. But sending a naive guy like Chen Junsheng to ask meant that Factory Director Chen really cared.
From this small act, Li Chuchu understood what Factory Director Chen meant. She explained, "Shen Yanshan wants to open a factory. I went to Chuncheng with him to learn about some things. It took a long time to go back and forth, so I was delayed on the way. Please thank Factory Director Chen for his concern for me."
Chen Junsheng was surprised at first. Then he thought of Li Chuchu's husband, who had an extraordinary temperament. It was normal for him to have some ideas. Although Chen Junsheng was a slacker, he still admired and feared capable people, just like how he felt about his father.
So he waved his hand. "Well, it's okay. He's just an old man who has nothing better to do and asks casually. I know there's a new stir - fry restaurant with good food. Do you want to go there for lunch?"
Shen Yanshan had been very busy these days. Li Chuchu was just planning to eat out before going home, so she agreed.
Li Chuchu and Chen Junsheng walked out together.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhu Yuxi.
"Is that Li Chuchu?"
The little follower beside her nodded. It seemed so.
Anger and jealousy flashed in Zhu Yuxi's eyes. She had only been in the factory for a few months, and she had already hooked up with the factory director's son. It seemed that Li Chuchu was not a good person.
She rushed forward. First, she glanced at Chen Junsheng, then said to Li Chuchu, "You're Li Chuchu?"
Li Chuchu looked confused. "Yes. Do you need something? I don't take private jobs after work."
During this period, she had been busy with daily manuscripts and learning the hosting skills taught by Mu Wan. After the negotiation with foreign experts, the foreign affairs department seemed to be stimulated and would occasionally bring a thick English literature to ask her, under the pretext of "exchanging and learning". She had been extremely busy recently.
Chen Junsheng couldn't help laughing.
Zhu Yuxi felt underestimated. Standing in front of Li Chuchu, she could see her appearance more clearly.
Contrary to what she had imagined, Li Chuchu was much more beautiful than anyone she had ever seen before.
She was like a beauty walking out of a painting of a court lady, with willow - leaf eyebrows, watery eyes, and her hair casually coiled low, naturally exuding a delicate and fragile beauty. That innocent and pitiful look was most appealing to men.
She gritted her teeth. "You're going to be the host of this year's Mid - Autumn Festival evening party, right?"
Li Chuchu nodded. "Yes."
Strange. How did she know?
Was the host list announced so soon?
It seemed that Senior Sister Mu Wan was really afraid that she would back out. Li Chuchu sighed in her heart. She had really fallen into a wolf's den.
Zhu Yuxi snorted and crossed her arms, looking arrogant. "Mu Wan has always been the host in previous years. Mu Wan has the ability, and we all have no objections to her being the host. But you've only been here for less than a year. How dare you take the position?"
At this point, Li Chuchu, whose brain had been a bit slow recently, finally realized that this person was here to pick a fight.
