In the afternoon, Baili Qing and I went to interview a veteran who had participated in a war.
This was a series of interviews aimed at catering to the upcoming National Day military parade.
Su Yue was supposed to be shadowing the process.
However, as the car stopped downstairs, Baili Qing suddenly thrust the microphone into her hand, "You do it."
Su Yue looked at the microphone in her hand, froze for a moment, and then looked up in disbelief, "Me... do it?"
"Yes, just like your interviews abroad," Baili Qing smiled at her.
The cameraman cooperatively turned the camera towards Su Yue.
Su Yue: ...
This was the second time today she felt speechless.
And utterly at a loss.
However, she quickly adjusted her state, picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, and offered a fitting smile to the camera.
"Hello, everyone. Today, let's visit the home of our first veteran soldier and experience the magnificent history of that era."
Baili Qing had given her the interview script early to familiarize herself with it. She had thought it was just for understanding, but it turned out to be for practical use.
Fortunately, she had read it many times and had memorized it.
It was inevitable to be nervous the first time.
Fortunately, Baili Qing remained within the camera's range, controlling the rhythm and observing her condition.
If there were any less-than-ideal parts, she didn't criticize but patiently asked the cameraman to reshoot.
This made her feel much more relaxed.
Especially during the interview with the veteran.
The veteran was very kind, exuding a calming aura.
As a result, her performance became better and better.
The interview took about an hour. When they returned to the station, Baili Qing went to a meeting and instructed Su Yue to write the report for this interview.
After Su Yue sat down, Song Wei, a girl from the adjacent seat, gave her a brilliant smile, "How was your first interview?"
Shen Nanyi, a boy behind them, also popped his head out, "Was Teacher Baili very strict?"
Zhu Li, a girl from the back side, glared at the boy, "Teacher Baili is never harsh on girls."
Su Yue smiled and replied earnestly, "Yes, Teacher Baili is especially gentle."
These were the other three regular reporters in their group.
They were responsible for different main programs, but most of the time, they followed Baili Qing's coordination.
By the time the report was finished, it was already past six o'clock.
It was long past quitting time.
But Baili Qing still hadn't returned.
"Hey! Any plans tonight, beautiful girl?" The other three, seeing her finally stop typing, crowded around to ask.
"Not really any plans..." Su Yue thought, guessing they might want to invite her out.
She had planned to visit Chen Ziming this weekend.
All the surprises were ready.
Before that, her time after work was quite free.
As expected, they dragged her out to eat.
After dinner, they went to a music bar to listen to some songs for a while.
They had fun until nine o'clock, and before leaving, they shared photos in their group chat.
Su Yue saw that they had all posted on their Moments, so she followed suit and posted one as well.
Afterward, everyone waved goodbye.

The next day, Su Yue woke up late. As she rushed into the station, she noticed many gazes cast her way.
She was a bit puzzled.
It wasn't until she entered her group's area that she understood the reason.
"Yueyue! You've gone viral!" Song Wei exclaimed excitedly.
"Viral... what?" Su Yue, rushing in from the road, was still a bit groggy.
"Haven't you checked your phone? Haven't you seen the trending topics?" Shen Nanyi held his phone up to her face.
It was too close, so Su Yue shifted back a bit before she could clearly see the text on it.
#Radio Goddess Su Yue#
#Want to Marry Su Yue as Wife#
#Exquisitely Beautiful Reporter Su Yue#
#How did the TV station recruit such a beautiful reporter?#
...
She looked at the topics and was stunned.
"Your interview yesterday was on the news. When we were eating, there was no movement. It was probably around eleven o'clock at night, and I don't know who started the hype. By morning, it had become like this."
Zhu Li explained, looking at the trending topics.
"This..." Su Yue's heart raced. She raised her hand to press her chest, unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, Baili Qing walked into the office at that moment.
"Good morning, Teacher Baili." Everyone in the office greeted her respectfully.
"Good morning. Song Wei, send me today's interview schedule. Shen Nanyi, has the background check you were asked to do been completed? Zhu Li, you're going out on an assignment with Xu Qiao's group this morning. I need to attend the morning meeting first." Baili Qing quickly assigned tasks, picked up her laptop, and was about to rush out again.
However, as she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered Su Yue, "Oh, Yueyue, you wait for me here. Today, at the morning meeting, the leaders want to discuss your trending topic."
