Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 560 - 534: Insomnia and Fire
Chapter 560: Chapter 534: Insomnia and Fire
The sound of a person’s voice can change a bit through the radio, especially when Meiwei hosts her show, her voice is softer than others, only slightly higher than a whisper.
After being amplified, this voice gives people a particularly comfortable feeling, which is really hard to connect to Chen Xiaoqian’s impressive image in daily life.
The girl who recognized Xiaoqian’s voice had a keen ear for sound, and she was also Chen Xiaoqian’s fan, so she paid more attention to her idol and thus recognized her voice.
“It’s hardly possible, how could Chen Xiaoqian become a radio host? Second brother, did you hear wrong?”
“Maybe I did, after winning the competition, didn’t she say that many hospitals were rushing to sign her? So it’s unlikely for her to work in a radio station…”
A few girls were whispering and discussing the popular figure of their school, while the very person was sitting in the live broadcast room, wearing headphones and answering calls from the audience with her mouth close to the microphone.
Most hosts would have a script, but the white paper spread out in front of her only had simple records of the audience’s questions. While answering questions, her pen would be doodling cartoons.
This impressed the director watching her through the glass.
The voice broadcasted was soothing to the soul and sharp in insight, but who could have guessed that the popular host Meiwei was actually killing time by drawing one cartoon after another on the other side of the voice.
This talented new host seemed able to multitask – while answering questions, her hands wouldn’t stop doodling. The director cooperated very well with Meiwei and figured out her pattern.
If you want to know whether Meiwei is in a good mood or not, just look at what she is drawing.
If the doodles were something normal like a noble husky, a husky with insight, a husky with a hat, or a husky running in the wind, that would mean Meiwei was in a good mood today.
But if the doodles were messy, such as a husky wrapped up like a rice dumpling with stockings, a husky being whipped, a husky being tickled with a feather, a husky being…
Anyway, if it was like that, Meiwei must be in a bad mood, not willing to say a word when the show is over. At that moment, her answers to the audience would also carry a hint of anger – whoever calls in better not provoke her.
The most amazing thing was that those who got lectured by Meiwei all felt like they had suddenly gained new insights, and even thanked her for it.
She timed everything perfectly, finishing a drawing of a husky just as the 40-minute show was about to end. Her drawing skills had become more sophisticated.
The director glanced and noticed that Meiwei’s mood didn’t seem to be very good today. She drew a husky being hit by a watermelon, with the watermelon comically stuck on its head, and the poor dog sticking out its tongue.
Inside, Meiwei answered a listener’s question and then made an OK gesture to the director, indicating her to switch to another listener.
“Meiwei, I have severe insomnia, and I can only fall asleep every night listening to your show. I wonder what kind of woman can have such a charming voice. I wonder if your body is as pleasant as your voice. I wonder if I cut open your body with a knife–”
Xiaoqian noticed that something was wrong with this person and quickly switched to an advertisement.
The director behind the glass also showed a disgusted expression.
Every call had been filtered, so how come such a harassing phone call got through? Moreover, when this person called in to speak to the director, he clearly said he was in a bad mood because he got scolded by his leader, how did it become such a blatant harassment when speaking to Meiwei?
Xiaoqian came out of the live broadcast room during the advertisement, and the director apologized.
“I’m sorry, Meiwei, I didn’t filter this one for you. Next time, this number will definitely not be connected again. Do you want to report it to the police?”
“It’s okay; he must be sick in the head.” Xiaoqian pointed to her own head. Harassment like this isn’t very common during live broadcasts, but it’s not unprecedented either. Some bored men can be shameless.
But just now, something seemed off, and he mentioned something about a knife… Xiaoqian’s fast reflexes had helped switch to the advertisement quickly, so the other listeners probably didn’t hear his last sentence. If it was a one-time nuisance, Xiaoqian would be too lazy to report it anyway; it would only delay her precious sleep, which had been very poor recently.
“Meiwei, haven’t you been sleeping well these days?” The director noticed Xiaoqian’s sleep troubles.
Xiaoqian was hosting a midnight psychology talk, and she was working while others were off. She didn’t bother to go home and remove her makeup, so she came to work with a bare face.
Which also exposed her dark circles.
“Yeah, I’ve been having nightmares lately.” Xiaoqian frowned when she thought about the nightmares she had been having.
She had been interning here for a while, but the nightmares only started recently.
Xiaoqian believed her nightmares were related to this annoying internship.
God knows why she came to this miserable place, only to listen to all the psychological garbage people had to share!
She thought she would be making a fortune after winning the international competition – in fact, she had already started taking clients, but at a rate of only 1800 RMB per hour. Although it’s much higher than 80% of her domestic peers, it’s still far from the level of wealth she desired.
Xiaoqian had completed her credits and earned a bachelor’s degree two years earlier and had also obtained a counseling certificate. Her level had surpassed the highest standard, but their field values experience. With her bachelor’s degree, she could only qualify for level three certification; level two would require a master’s degree, and level one would only be possible with a doctoral degree. To obtain a level two certification with a bachelor’s degree, she would need several years of clinical experience, and her current experience was still limited.
But Xiaoqian had her connections; her close friend Lily Tang would often bring her wealthy second-generation clients, and Shi Touyu and Zheng Xu would introduce clients to her as well. Even after she obtained her qualification, her future brother-in-law Liao Fugui would introduce clients to her.
Fugui was an honest comrade who introduced clients that were not particularly lucrative, mainly blue-collar workers who needed mental evaluations. Some of these cases were not mental illnesses but psychological issues. When Fugui saw that they were pitiful, he would introduce them to Xiaoqian. She would feel embarrassed to charge them too much and would just charge them about 10 or 20 RMB while considering it a charitable service. After all, if she didn’t do it, her mother-figure Jia Xiufang, who was now in a stable relationship with Father Liao, would pester her about it with her ultra-sympathetic nature.
Anyway, whether it’s the rich clients introduced by the second generation or the non-profit clients introduced by her future brother-in-law, Xiaoqian could easily make ends meet by accepting just two or three clients a month. There was no need for her to work here, torturing her ears with people’s mental garbage and wasting her precious sleep time.
So why was she sitting here?
There was only one answer – her Professor Liu’s love for his students burned like fire, fire, fire, fire, fire!
