Chapter 61 - I'm Really Hurt
"That's my younger cousin, Yin Le. She's a news anchor in the Hanzhou Television Station, so it's natural for you to find her familiar." Zhang Fang smiled as she introduced, "She often has dinner with us after her work."
"No wonder she's so familiar." Su Tao smiled, "Unlike on the television, she's prettier in real life."
Yin Le cast a glance at Su Tao and faintly said, "It's required for me to put on mature makeup on the news." Her voice was a little indifferent, and she looked more relaxed and casual, unlike how she usually looked on television.
She's 28 this year, and it proved how outstanding she was, since she could become a news anchor at such a young age, even if it's only a province television station.
In a third-tiered province like Hanzhou, television had a bigger influence, when compared to the newspaper. Therefore, Yin Le could be considered as a celebrity in every household. Along with her outstanding appearance and voice, she had quite a few fans for herself. Many youths watched the Hanzhou News just to see her on television.
Everyone in the media circle knew that a talented news anchor like Yin Le was merely using the Hanzhou Television Station as a stepping stone so that she could climb higher when the time came.
Di s.h.i.+yuan smiled and introduced Su Tao to Yin Le, "This is the Department Head of my Hospital's TCM Department, Su Tao."
Yin Le was stunned with doubt. "TCM Department's Head? Shouldn't all of them be old?"
"Don't judge a book by its cover; his medical skills are extraordinary." Di s.h.i.+yuan explained with a smile.
Yin Le raised her brows, since she didn't believe it. "Oh? Sometime before, there were many breaking news of scammers claiming to be specialists in TCM to con others."
Hearing Yin Le's words, the good impression that Su Tao had for her instantly disappeared. "There is sc.u.m in every profession, just like the media. There were fake medicine advertis.e.m.e.nts that were being broadcast without testing their authenticity. Furthermore, aren't those so-called 'TCM specialists' advertised by the media without knowing their authenticity?"
Yin Le's face instantly turned red from anger when she heard Su Tao's words before she stared at him. "TCM doesn't have a good reputation now, how can they blame the media if they didn't reflect on their shortcomings? I never thought that your insight was so poor."
Su Tao faintly smiled. "Not only is TCM fading, but even the entire Chinese culture is also in an awkward situation. However, not only is the media not doing anything to help, they even target the market by introducing those variety shows and similar programs to mislead the audience. So isn't the media responsible for the declining Chinese culture?"
Zhang Fang was dumbfounded while she watched the two of them war with their words. She took a long time to recover from the shock and smiled. "What's wrong with the two of you? Why do the two of you seem like you've eaten gunpowder, and quarrel the moment you meet?"
Di s.h.i.+yuan waved his hand and chuckled, "This isn't quarrelling, it's a reasonable disagreement of opinions, and that means that the two of them can find a topic to talk about. When two people come together, the terrifying thing is that there isn't any spark. On the contrary, I feel that the two of them are pretty good."
Yin Le glared at Di s.h.i.+yuan and sourly responded, "Brother-in-Law, I do not have a common topic with a guy who blames others without reflecting himself."
Su Tao knitted his brows. He felt that Yin Le was an entirely different person than when she's on the television. On TV, she was composed, kind and a woman of few words. But at the dining table, her tongue was sharp and ruthless; her words were akin to firecrackers.
Su Tao was a man, after all, so there's no need for him to bicker with a woman. Thus, he composed himself and quietly ate while ignoring Yin Le.
