After Agnes finished her breakfast, she headed off to the TV station.
As soon as Agnes stepped foot into the News Department, practically all of her colleagues swarmed around her.
"Agnes, you're incredible, how did you manage to do it? You've solved a major issue for the government."
"Your article has already broken this year's record for most views, and it's only been a few hours. Agnes, you're absolutely amazing."
"The photos were just fantastic! I was in tears just looking at them. They really touched my heart."
"I cried as well."
"I've made my decision. I'm going to adopt a stray cat. The Fabians are so kindhearted. It's outrageous how they were portrayed in the previous reports."
Agnes' desk was nearly swamped by the crowd.
"Are you all done with work? What are you all doing crowding around here, having a tea party?"
Yolanda's voice came.
Everyone quickly stepped back, making a path for Yolanda.
Yolanda, in her high heels, marched over to Agnes.
"Agnes, do you know that all manuscripts need my approval before being published? You published your article directly on the station's website without sending it to me. The station is a government entity. Can you shoulder the responsibility if something goes wrong?”
Yolanda was aggressive.
Ramona interjected, "Agnes' article didn't cause any problems. In fact, it broke several records for the station and brought unprecedented traffic. Instead of praising her, you're actually blaming her, Yolanda."
Agnes stood up and followed Yolanda to her office.
As soon as Agnes entered the office, the others in the office rose to their feet, pressing their ears against the door to eavesdrop.
Yolanda sat in her chair, arms crossed, the embodiment of authority. "Agnes, you clearly don't respect me. You haven't done anything I've asked of you properly. For someone who disregards their supervisor and doesn't follow rules, the News Department really can't accommodate you. I suggest you write a resignation letter."
When Yolanda knew Agnes was applying for the job, she just wanted to keep her around to torture her.
Yolanda knew Agnes used to be a pushover. But to her surprise, Agnes had only been here for a few days, and Yolanda was nearly at her breaking point.
All the credit and limelight had been stolen by Agnes, and now everyone was standing by her side. So, Yolanda was now eager to get rid of Agnes.
Agnes said, "Yolanda, what have I done wrong for you to fire me?”
