"Without your reminder, even your Uncle Yan wouldn’t have thought of this. In the end, it’s all thanks to you; I’ve been keeping that in mind." Zhuang Xiyue had her own way of weighing things, but whenever she dealt with Yun Ya, that balance seed to automatically tip in her favor.
"By the way, Aunt Zhuang, why haven’t I seen Brother Yan recently?" Yun Ya asked as if it were an afterthought.
"Oh, he’s gone to the Capital City to take care of so business. Why do you ask about him?"
"When I was tutoring Brother Yan in English, I borrowed a book from him. Now that I’ve finished reading it, I’ve been wanting to return it, but I haven’t seen him around..." Yun Ya made up an excuse, knowing Zhuang Xiyue wouldn’t delve into whether she had actually borrowed a book from Yan Song or not.
"He might not be back for a while; Brother Yan is applying to the military academy. He originally went for a political review and physical examination, thinking it would only take a week, but then his third uncle sent him off to so special training camp. Just keep the book for now, and you can give it back to him in person when he returns," said Zhuang Xiyue.
Yun Ya was taken aback. So that was it, Brother Yan had joined the military.
No wonder she couldn’t get in touch with him. Regardless, he should have at least told her in advance. To disappear without saying a word was unsettling. If she hadn’t indirectly found out from Aunt Zhuang, how worried would she have been?
It seed the lessons from last ti weren’t enough; Yun Ya was holding back her frustration.
Yet she showed no sign of it on the surface.
Zhuang Xiyue stayed for a while and then left. Yun Ya stood by the window, watching Zhuang Xiyue’s car leave the Ji Family Manor, pursed her lips, and looked at the string of numbers on her phone screen, her gaze growing dim.

Jiangzhou Television Station wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with Ji Yunya, aiming to delve deep into the personal life of this national idol whose popularity was soaring. Having been verbally praised by Mayor Yan and followed eagerly by thousands of fans, this feature was sure to cause a huge social reaction.
The TV station had everything planned and was set to broadcast it during the pri ti slot on the weekend. The responsibility to secure the guest naturally fell on the shoulders of Yuan Pan, the station’s ace director and producer. After all, it was well known that Ji Yunya had participated in his program as a child, and he was sowhat of a ntor for her. It would presumably be easier for him to extend the invitation.
Yuan Pan didn’t hesitate to accept this important task, imdiately called Yun Ya, and told her about the interview proposal. Yun Ya didn’t want too much attention and instinctively wanted to decline, but she owed Yuan Pan the favor. To reject the proposal outright would put him in an awkward position.
Yuan Pan seed to sense her hesitation and persuaded her, "The program is very serious, with no trace of entertainnt fodder. You can totally trust it. I know what you’re thinking, but the more you try to hide, the more curious the outside world becos. It’s not good to continue like this. Think it over and then get back to ."
After considering it, Yun Ya replied, "Okay, I promise you."
"The program will be officially recorded in three days, and the station will send soone to escort you then."
After a few more words, they hung up.
Having secured Ji Yunya’s participation, the program team breathed a sigh of relief and began planning the program flow, promoting it online early to attract young viewers.
No sooner had the official Weibo account posted about Ji Yunya’s upcoming interview than it attracted a throng of fans and onlookers. This program, known for its high-end and accurate news interviews, was titled "Celebrity Interview Record" and hosted by Xiang Sheng, a top figure in the hosting industry. Previous guests ranged from scientists to business moguls, each a leader in their field, with a gravitas that frivolous, fa-seeking stars couldn’t match.
And now the guest was Ji Yunya. While many fans expressed excitent, so questioned what outstanding contributions she had made to warrant an appearance on the show?
[The doubters can get lost. She’s been personally comnded by the mayor. Have you seen the official dia from the municipal governnt? A role model for the new era of outstanding youth; what’s wrong with a positive idol being on the show? Her contributions are no less significant than those scientists or big bosses. What she influences is our younger generation.]
[Right, right; the program doesn’t have an age limit, so don’t bully her just because she’s young.]
Many people online supported Ji Yunya, countering the skeptics, and gradually it turned into a widely anticipated event.
Xue Chengcheng was at the TV station today for the recording of a variety show, which consisted entirely of physical gas. Big-na stars usually enjoy certain privileges, but lesser-known celebrities only end up being the butt of jokes. Although she had signed with the entertainnt company under the TV station, being new with low fa, her agent managed to secure her this gig to get so exposure, a chance that small-ti celebrities would kill for.
