Chapter 1052: A Deafening Interview

Jia Haixia was silent.

Jiang Qiqi and Jiang Wan both thought she would say she was not afraid!

Jia Haixia paused but said, "I'm scared!"

This answer surprised both of them.

Jiang Wan, who was originally sitting aside reading a magazine, couldn't help but put down the magazine and turned to look at Jia Haixia.

Jiang Qiqi asked: "Why are you still afraid of you?"

Jia Haixia gave a bitter smile and said, "To be honest, I cried out of fear when I got home."

"I looked at my hand and thought that it was this hand that stabbed someone with a knife. When I thought of the blood on my hand, I was so scared that I couldn't help shaking!"

"That night, I was not only scared to tears, but also went to the hospital because of the shock. I had a high fever all night!"

Jiang Qiqi was silent, and suddenly felt a trace of admiration for the woman in front of her.

Jia Haixia continued: "But, even if you are afraid, you have to do it!"

"To put it in a more dignified way: I have been learning antique appraisal from my grandfather since I was a child, and I have a unique passion and affection for antiques!"

"Antiques themselves are actually a kind of culture. No matter which dynasty the objects are from, their appearance represents a story."

"It can be complicated or simple!"

“It is no exaggeration to say that these antiques are the white moonlight in my heart!”

"When those objects come into my hands, it is very interesting to identify their age, dig out their stories, and let them shine again in front of the world!"

“It is also my lifelong pursuit and the greatest sense of accomplishment!”

"Therefore, I cannot allow those villains to tarnish this industry and tarnish the white moonlight in my heart!"

This is a very well-spoken and powerful statement!

And listening to it makes one's blood boil!

Jiang Qiqi glanced at Jiang Wan with admiration, which meant, "Your sister is really amazing!"

Jiang Wan also smiled, she knew that this mother-in-law was extremely awesome.

Just wait and see, when Hai Rongtian comes back from the military exercise, he will find that his ex-wife has become famous.

It won't be long before Jia Haixia becomes a leading figure in the industry, someone that Hai Rongtian cannot reach!

At this time, Jiang Qiqi looked at Jia Haixia again and asked:

"You just gave a high-sounding reason. Are you saying that there is a more practical and down-to-earth explanation?"

Jia Haixia hummed, and said with a slight smile on her lips:

"When I was a kid, my grandpa and I were learning to identify antiques, our friends looked down on us."

"They think it's scavenging, digging for treasure in the garbage."

"Many neighbors even think that my grandfather is just a rag picker!"

"After I got married, my husband didn't like me touching antiques."

“Because that’s the Four Olds!”

"In my previous life, I was a good girl, taking care of my husband and children at home, and learning to be a good mother!"

“But I’ve never really been happy!”

Having said that, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Jiang Wan, her eyes reddened, and she said with a choked voice:

"Until I got a sworn sister."

"I saw a lot from her, and what moved me the most was that women should learn to be independent and improve themselves instead of giving in blindly!"

"I love antique appraisal, but I gave up what I love for my husband and children."

"Now that I am over 50, I want to live for myself!"

“I want to follow my heart and do what I like!”

After a pause, she swallowed all her sobs and said in a firm and powerful voice:

"You asked me if I was scared at that time! If I was scared, why did I do that?"

"I'm afraid! When a knife is on your neck and a gun is pointed at your head, who wouldn't be afraid?"

"But so what?"

"This is the industry I would rather divorce than work for. This is what I will do for the rest of my life. This is my lifelong persistence and my most firm belief!"

"If I'm afraid, should I give up?"

"No!"

"At that moment, I was thinking: I would rather die than move forward. I would fight anyone who dared to stop me, to the death!"

"Then I didn't care to be afraid anymore!"

Jiang Qiqi was silent.

At this moment, her eyes were slightly red.

It wasn't because she was moved, but because Jia Haixia expressed her true feelings.

Women, it’s so hard to keep doing what you like.

Jia Haixia would rather get a divorce than do what she loves. She is undoubtedly crazy. When a woman becomes crazy, she is the most terrifying.

Therefore, Jiang Qiqi felt a strong empathy with her at this moment.

Jiang Wan on the side watched quietly, her eyes unconsciously moving between Jiang Qiqi and Jia Haixia.

Looking at them, she could almost foresee their rise in the future.

One is the queen of journalism, and the other is the leading figure in the antique industry.

Well, that's great!

At the end of the interview, Jia Haixia asked Jiang Qiqi: "Do you need help here? I can do it part-time!"

Jiang Qiqi's eyes lit up: "Yes, I need it, but what position do you want to take?"

Jia Haixia thought for a moment and said, "I can be part of the school team. I can also occasionally write press releases as a guest."

"I haven't done anything else yet, but I'm willing to learn."

Jiang Qiqi asked in surprise: "But, don't you still want to appraise antiques?"

Jia Haixia laughed: "Where can I find so many antiques for me to appraise?"

"Our Antique Appraisal Association is also a spontaneous organization. It will only be useful when needed. I don't have anything to do normally!"

"Yenchi University's archaeology department hired me as a guest lecturer, but I only need to attend one class a week, so I said I can only do it part-time."

Jia Haixia’s current position is a bit awkward. The antique appraisal business is not very good and she makes very little money.

After she divorced Hai Rongtian, she was marginalized by her workplace.

They called it a vacation and unpaid leave, but in fact they didn't want her anymore, but her relationship with the company was still there.

Now she has no salary and no one gives her money, and she has to live off her savings.

The newspaper pays him a salary, and he also wants to help Jiang Wan, so he came up with this plan.

Jiang Qiqi was overjoyed. The reason why they couldn't recruit people here was because the division of responsibilities was not clear, and there was no clear future for the unit, so people were unsure.

Therefore, those who are capable don’t come, and those who are willing to come are incompetent, so Qiqi doesn’t want them.

Jia Haixia is different. She is educated and experienced, and most importantly, her temperament is very much to Qiqi's liking.

So both parties made the decision happily.

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Jiang Wan said with a smile, "That's great. I see the rise of women in you."

"To celebrate your first step towards a successful career, I'll treat you today. Let's go eat roast goose!"

Jiang Qiqi shook her head: "No, why eat roast goose? That thing doesn't taste that good!"

"When I was interviewing you, I heard you say that the drunken duck at Zhonghualou is delicious."

"Let's go to Zhonghua Restaurant to eat drunken duck, and call Dong Liao, the branch director of the martial arts association who is helping you!"

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to eat or meet that Dong Liao?"

"Why, are you planning to do an interview with him?"
