Chapter 3870: Slandering

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Wang Minji stared with eyes wide open, mouth agape, his eyes vacant, mind completely blank.

He didn’t even try to defend himself.

"Alright, stop standing around here, let’s go out."

Lin Yi and Zhao Jing exchanged a glance, then turned to leave.

"Looks like Sui Zhao Hai is planning to abandon Wang Minji." Lin Yi casually commented.

"We were previously fighting openly and secretly, to be blunt it was all internal strife in the station, but Wang Minji’s actions effectively made this public, and if there’s indeed an issue, Sui Zhao Hai could also be implicated, it’s no wonder he’s angry."

Zhao Jing said with a relaxed expression:

"But I’m really curious about what happened between them, everything was going well, yet Xu Qingqing suddenly stopped recording, I have no clue what went wrong."

Lin Yi chuckled secretly, already guessing why this happened.

Knowing her identity, if they kept recording Wang Minji’s program, it would be going against me.

Even if they had the courage, they wouldn’t dare to do this.

"This is their internal matter, we don’t need to worry about it."

Zhao Jing flicked her hair back, "Today is a day for celebration, let’s go to Director Zhang’s office and inform him about this."

"You can go, I won’t bother, it’s nothing to do with me."

Zhao Jing checked her watch, "Your interview is at two in the afternoon, there’s still an hour, go over and show your face, leave a good impression on Director Zhang, and besides, you did a great job in this matter. If it weren’t discovered that Wang Minji reported it, nothing could be done about him, so come along."

"Alright then."

Being pulled by Zhao Jing, the two went to Zhang Qingyu’s office.

At that time, he was leisurely drinking tea and reading a news magazine.

"Why are you two here together again? I’ve been seeing you coming and going together a lot lately."

Both understood the implications behind Zhang Qingyu’s words.

"We need to for work, but today’s visit is to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Wang Minji is out, he’s no longer the producer of ’Strongest Resonance’."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Zhang Qingyu was quite surprised, "When did this happen? How come I wasn’t informed? Sit down and tell me slowly."

"Just a moment ago."

Then, Zhao Jing recounted the whole incident in detail.

"Lin Yi, you’re quite something, managing to find this out."

"Just a coincidence." Lin Yi replied with a smile.

"Whether or not it was coincidental, you have earned merit." Zhang Qingyu said:

"I’ll remember this, keep up the good work, you won’t be mistreated."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

"Your abilities are well-recognized, you deserve it."

Zhang Qingyu took a sip of tea, "But I’m quite curious how things went sour between them, though it disrupted the recording, doing this impacts Xu Qingqing’s reputation in the industry too, it’s like losing a thousand to hurt eight hundred."

"That’s what puzzles me too, unless something extremely bad happened, it doesn’t make sense otherwise."

"That’s true, but now that things have come to this, talking about it doesn’t help anymore."

Zhang Qingyu relaxed into his chair, "You can be assured with your program now; no one is your competition."

"But I’m curious who Sui Zhao Hai will choose to produce ’Strongest Resonance’."

"It could be Miao Loufeng, having been a director for so many years, he might get promoted, but he won’t be a threat to you, just do your best."

"But anyone promoted at this time will have a difficult time, without Xu Qingqing, the program loses its appeal."

"That’s none of our concern, let them figure it out."

"Understood."

"By the way, I heard Lin Yi is going to the news center, isn’t there a final interview this afternoon?"

Lin Yi nodded.

"The news center is good too, just go through the motions, it’ll be fine."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

"Alright, that’s all for today, you guys go ahead and work, don’t think just because there’s no competition you can slack off, you need to shine brighter than before."

"Got it, we won’t drop the ball."

"Alright, go get busy."

The two were about to leave, but just as they turned, they saw Sui Zhao Hai coming in from outside.

"Hey, you two are here too."

Sui Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don’t leave yet, I was just looking for you."

Zhao Jing was a bit stunned, not knowing what Sui Zhao Hai wanted.

In the office, Sui Zhao Hai sat on a nearby sofa, and Zhang Qingyu poured him a cup of tea.

He, too, was a bit curious about what Sui Zhao Hai wanted at this time.

"Did they tell you about Wang Minji?" Sui Zhao Hai asked straightforwardly.

"Hmm? What about it?"

Zhang Qingyu acted surprised, looking at Zhao Jing and Lin Yi, "Did you know something and not tell?"

"You don’t have to ask them, it’s not a big deal." Sui Zhao Hai said with a chuckle:

"Wang Minji had some issues at work, so I removed him from the producer position."

"Ah?"

Zhang Qingyu feigned surprise, "He was the producer of ’Strongest Resonance’, without him, the show can’t go on."

"That’s what I came to talk about." Sui Zhao Hai put on a mature and steady expression, saying:

"Zhao Jing’s program, from preparation to now, we’ve all seen her capabilities, which are evident. Now that Wang Minji is out, I’m planning to let her take charge of ’Strongest Resonance’, what do you think?"

"Ah? Let her take over?"

The three of them were quite taken aback; they didn’t expect Sui Zhao Hai to make such a move.

With Xu Qingqing gone, this program is a mess, and whoever takes it gets the blame.

And now Sui Zhao Hai is passing this burden to Zhao Jing.

It’s just plain nauseating.

"Director Sui, this would be my first time as a producer. My abilities still fall short, managing one show is already difficult, let alone two, I might not have the bandwidth."

"I understand, taking on two shows would be stressful, but you have many capable people under you, Lin Yi is one among them, having solved numerous issues for you. With them around, managing two shows is feasible." Sui Zhao Hai said with a chuckle:

"Don’t decline, I believe you can do it."

"This..."

Zhao Jing momentarily didn’t know how to respond, looking towards Zhang Qingyu for help.

"Director Sui, I feel assigning ’Strongest Resonance’ to Zhao Jing is risky, what if it flops?"

"It won’t. Zhao Jing is inherently strong, and with you overseeing, how could it possibly go wrong?"

Zhang Qingyu wasn’t backing down, arguing:

"That’s not a sound approach, everything comes with risks, one must be prepared."
