BCB was a benchmark for all TV stations in the country. In fact, it was still a listed company backed by Betrico Multimedia.
Betrico Multimedia seemed to be the property of the Bennett family. Of course, Cynthia did not know much about these things in the business world.
Cynthia said. “Mr. Stewart, I’ve participated in the study exchange at various stations many times. Let’s give this opportunity to someone else.”
Indeed, over the past year, she had visited no less than 30 TV stations above the prefecture level for learning,
In fact, it was quite boring–just meetings and socializing with the capital tycoons behind the scenes. Sometimes, Cynthia even felt like a hostess. Occasionally, she was harassed by some pitalists, and she really did not like such socializing.
Freddie’s face fell. “It’s different this time. You should go.”
Actually, BCB specifically requested to bring Cynthia along this time.
Initially, Freddie wanted to do Cynthia a favor but did not expect her not intending to accept it. She still refused.
Freddie could only tell the truth. “I’ll be honest with you. Some big shots from BCB asked to see you. If you don’t go, I’ll be in trouble. You should go. I’ll give you five days of annual leave later.”
Cynthia was silent for half a second. “Ten days.”
“Okay.” Freddie just wanted to do her a favor, but he did not expect she would blackmail him. He was frustrated.
When Cynthia asked who wanted to see her, Freddie admitted, “I really don’t know. The superiors just said it’s someone from Betrico Multimedia with a very high position, but I can’t say exactly who.”
Cynthia frowned. She had no contact with anyone from Betrico Multimedia at all and did not know any senior executives.
She wondered, ‘Why would anyone ask to see me? I have a feeling this has to do with the Bennett family. Is it because of Jonathan? Either way, I have to face what I have to
Cynthia was not too worried but did not tell Jonathan about going to Betrico because after she left BJ Building, he had
returned to Betrico.
This time, the learning trip would last three days, and the third day was basically her free time. Maybe she could even arrange to meet him then.
The next day, Cynthia and Freddie took the nine o’clock flight. Two hours later, she arrived at the entrance of a hotel in Betrico. After dropping off the luggage, she and Freddie had a buffet at the hotel.
Then, they went to BCB. Timothy Blair, the head of BCB, welcomed them, and Freddie was shocked.
Timothy from BCB always looked down on the heads of other TV stations, RNN’s Alison often called him a bigot, but Cynthia thought he was overly enthusiastic and even personally showed them around.
Looking at Cynthia’s expression, Timothy smiled like a Santa Claus. They toured for about an hour and joined a production meeting at the station. BCB had produced several live variety shows recently, which had become huge hits.
This time, they came here mainly to learn about this. The meeting lasted until four o’clock in the afternoon.
After finishing, Timothy walked over to Cynthia. “Ms. Jones, please wait here for a moment. The chairwoman is on her way and wants to meel you,

Cynthia was surprised and asked, “The chair woman?”
Freddie interrupted. “Is it the chairwoman of Betrico Multimedia? Isn’t she abroad?”
Timothy answered. “She just returned recently. Although she is abroad, she has always known Ms. Jones.
Cynthia was a little confused. “Who is she?”
Freddie said, “How come you don’t even know this? The capital Behind BCB is Betrico Multimedia, and the chairwoman is the legendary Whitney Bennett in this circle.”
Cynthia knew Whitney. She was Jonathan’s eldest sister and on worst terms with him.
Cynthia’s heart skipped a beat. She wondered, ‘Why does Whitney want to see me? I should let Jonathan know about this
After Timothy left. Cynthia immediately dialed Jonathan’s number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
After a while, the conference room door was pushed open again. Cynthia turned around and saw a middle–aged woman.
The woman was dressed in a white suit, with shoulder–length curly hair and delicate makeup. She was so well–maintained that she did not look like someone in her forties.
If she were said to be in her thirties, some would believe it. She had the same skin tone as Jonathan’s, which gave her an
of aloofness.
aura
She wore a custom–made Hermes bag on her wrist and high heels from a luxury brand. Her neck and wrists had no other atcessories, yet she exuded a sense of both tact and elegance.
Cynthia put away her phone and took the initiative to greet her, Ms. Bennett, I’ve heard a lot about you.” She reached out and shook hands with Whitney.
Whitney’s gaze was sharp, and she had already sized Cynthia up.
She smiled and held Cynthia’s hand casually. “You must know I’m Jonathan’s elder sister. Since you’re his publicly acknowledged girlfriend, just call me by my name like he does.
Cynthia was still very respectful but spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. She said, “You are both a senior and elder, so I don’t dare to overstep. I’d better address you as Ms. Bennett.”
Whitney did not seem to care. “Suit yourself.”
She walked into the conference room, threw her bag on the chair, and asked Cynthia casually, “Is this your first time in Betrico?”
Cynthia answered truthfully, “I came here once when I was a child. It’s my first time here since I grew up.”
“Do you like the scenery in Betrico?” added Whitney.
Cynthia said, “Betrico is prosperous. I naturally like it very much
Whitney smiled and said, “Betrico is a prosperous place, but I’m afraid such splendor can easily blind people.”
Whitney’s meaning was very obvious. She implied that Cynthia was not good enough for Jonathan or, rather, the reason why they were together was that she wanted to be rich.
Cynthia also smiled. “In this vast world, where’s a place with no grosperity? Don’t worry, Ms. Bennett. I’ll keep your teachings in mind and work hard to cultivate my heart.”
Looking at her composed demeanor, Whitney revealed a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She smiled and said. “You remind

me a bit of myself when I was young, I like you.”
Cynthia remained respectful yet distant. “Thank you for your kind words, Ms. Bennett.”

Freddie watched from the side, breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought, ‘Obviously, Ms. Bennett is intimidating Cynthia. Seems that it’s not easy to enter the circle of the wealthy after all
However, Cynthia did not back down. On the contrary, she was respectful and polite, maintaining her demeanor. With a few words, she deflected the pressure and was not suppressed, as expected from someone from RNN.
Whitney said, “It’s getting late. We’ve booked a banquet at Quilton Palace tonight. Cynthia, you should join us.”
