Chapter 3869: Tearing Off the Mask

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Watching the two of them leave, Wang Minji was stunned for a while, clenching his fists tightly.

"It’s definitely because of Lin Yi! This time, I need an explanation!"

Wang Minji angrily headed to the elevator and arrived at Sui Zhao Hai’s office.

In the office, Sui Zhao Hai was making tea. Seeing Li Wei come in with a gloomy face, he instinctively asked:

"Why the expression? What happened?"

Sui Zhao Hai was very concerned about Wang Minji’s situation. The program "Strongest Resonance" was something he was promoting, and Wang’s expression coming in likely meant there was good news from Zhao Jing’s side.

If that’s the case, it would be very unfavorable for me.

"I just ran into Li Wei and Xu Qingqing, and they told me they won’t be recording the program anymore."

"Hm? What kind of joke is this! Now is a critical moment, and they’re saying they won’t record anymore!"

"We just ran into each other, and they suddenly told me, without any signs beforehand."

"Impossible, something must have happened; otherwise, they wouldn’t temporarily leave the job." Sui Zhao Hai coldly said:

"Also, what have you been doing? Haven’t you signed the contract with them yet?"

Wang Minji’s expression was a bit awkward and somewhat guilty.

"Since there are some details that haven’t been discussed, the contract hasn’t been signed. And I’ve known Li Wei for many years; I really didn’t expect this to happen, so..."

Bam!

In a fit of rage, Sui Zhao Hai threw the cup onto the ground.

"You’ve been here in the station for years, how could you make such a mistake!"

"Calm down, Sui Tai. I’m certain this has something to do with Lin Yi. Xu Qingqing had already said earlier that she wouldn’t record this program, and the reason was Lin Yi. This time, they must have been provoked again; otherwise, this couldn’t have happened."

Sui Zhao Hai paced back and forth in the office angrily, but soon calmed down.

The main task now is to solve Xu Qingqing’s issue. If they don’t record, the program is finished.

"Inform Zhao Jing to call Lin Yi for me."

"Okay."

Wang Minji called Zhao Jing, relaying what Sui Zhao Hai said.

About ten minutes later, Zhao Jing brought Lin Yi to Sui Zhao Hai’s office.

"Sui Tai."

After entering, Zhao Jing greeted warmly, but seeing Sui Zhao Hai’s unpleasant expression, a sense of foreboding arose in his mind.

"I’m mainly looking for Lin Yi. I want to ask him if there’s been another conflict with Xu Qingqing."

"Hm?"

Zhao Jing turned to Lin Yi, eyes full of inquiry.

"I couldn’t care less about them; how could a conflict occur?"

"Don’t deny it. If nothing else happened between you, how could Xu Qingqing not record the program?"

"Not recording the program?" Zhao Jing looked surprised; this was definitely explosive news.

"Things were going well, how could it come to this?"

"You dare ask me! Just now, they came over and directly said they wouldn’t record the program. It must be because of Lin Yi; otherwise, this couldn’t have happened."

Zhao Jing realized the severity of the problem.

The promotional work for the program "Strongest Resonance" had already started, and Xu Qingqing was constantly involved.

If she suddenly doesn’t record, it would ruin the station’s reputation.

"Didn’t you sign the contract?"

"We were discussing the details, planning to sign the contract in a few days. I didn’t expect something like this to happen!"

Wang Minji hurriedly tried to shift the blame, trying to deflect responsibility.

Now Zhao Jing didn’t know what to say.

Such a major issue far exceeds competitive relationships; it involves the station’s honor and must be handled cautiously.

"Lin Yi, tell us what happened." Sui Zhao Hai said.

"I don’t know what happened either; even if you’re going to accuse, you need to provide evidence, right?" Lin Yi said indifferently.

"Seems like you won’t stop until you meet the Yellow River, no tears until you see the coffin."

Wang Minji took out his phone, "I’m calling Li Wei right now; even if you don’t admit it, it won’t help."

Dialing Li Wei’s phone, Wang Minji also turned on the speaker.

The call connected quickly, and Wang Minji said:

"Old Li, Lin Yi is here with me. I want to know what’s going on right now. Tell me, did he provoke Qingqing again?"

"It has nothing to do with him; don’t falsely accuse. I feel you have problems, and I don’t want to cooperate with you. I’m blacklisting you now; don’t contact me again. Beep beep beep..."

The call was cut, leaving the room silent and somewhat awkward.

Three pairs of eyes inevitably turned to Wang Minji, who felt so embarrassed he wanted to find a place to hide.

"Sui Tai, as you can see, this has nothing to do with me; it’s entirely because of Wang Minji. It’s bad to keep blaming me."

Sui Zhao Hai’s face turned even darker; this was akin to a slap in his face.

"Wang Minji, what’s going on here!"

"I... I don’t know what’s going on either; we were talking just fine yesterday, and today this happened. I didn’t expect it!"

Wang Minji explained briefly and then pointed the blame at Lin Yi again.

"Sui Tai, don’t listen to Li Wei’s nonsense; this surely has something to do with him. He must be punished; such a person must be dismissed and definitely not kept in the station."

"Wang Minji, don’t go too far!"

Zhao Jing spoke, his face full of anger, obviously furious.

"Li Wei already said it has nothing to do with Lin Yi; why are you still accusing him!"

"But he has had conflicts with Xu Qingqing twice; regardless, he cannot be absolved."

"Since you say that, let’s cut the cordiality and talk openly."

Zhao Jing, like a protective mother leopard, said:

"A few days ago, our program was reported for having double contracts; Sui Tai is also aware of it."

Sui Zhao Hai nodded, signaling Zhao Jing to continue.

"We investigated thoroughly, and the reporter was Ma Jianhai, who is Wang Minji’s brother-in-law!"

Hearing this, Sui Zhao Hai was visibly surprised, while Wang Minji became more flustered, not expecting Zhao Jing to know about this.

"Sui Tai, don’t listen to his nonsense; I’m a member of the station, how could I do such a thing."

"Whether you did or not, you know best; we’ve already found evidence, and if you still deny, I can go get it now."

Sui Zhao Hai’s expression turned colder, and Wang Minji began to tremble, struggling with his words.

"Sui Tai, let me explain, I really don’t know what’s going on; perhaps my brother-in-law acted on his own. I’ll call him to check now; how could he do such a thing!"

"Enough! No more talking!"

Sui Zhao Hai slammed the table.

"You won’t be working on the ’Strongest Resonance’ program; go back and wait for further handling results."
