Chapter 3899: Hypocrite

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The next morning, Lin Yi went to work as usual.

As soon as he arrived at the office, he noticed something was off about the atmosphere.

Soon after, he saw Ma Anchen and Feng Chengrong standing together, having an intense conversation.

"Old Feng, we’re all colleagues here. What you’re doing is not right."

"Explain yourself. How exactly am I not being right?"

Feng Chengrong held a cigarette in his hand, clearly not taking Ma Anchen seriously, and his expression was rather impatient.

"Not only did you steal the interview with Xu Qingqing, but last night you also took our interview with the Northern Commerce. What’s your deal?"

"Don’t talk nonsense. These matters have nothing to do with us," Feng Chengrong said.

"We never intended to interview Xu Qingqing in the first place. She approached us actively, so there was no stealing of the interview. Even if you want to stick up for your wife, you should get the facts straight here."

"Secondly, regarding the interview with the Northern United Chamber of Commerce, did the station state that it was your exclusive interview? Whoever gets the interview rights goes for it. Why are you blaming us because you didn’t get it?"

"What do you mean we didn’t get it?"

Ma Anchen’s tone increased uncontrollably.

"We already secured the interview rights, and it was your people who forcefully took it away. Denial won’t help you!"

"What if we admit it, or what if we don’t? This kind of thing is all about who has the ability to conduct the interview. You didn’t secure the interview rights, so coming over to make a scene—aren’t you being a bit too much? Does everyone at the station have to give way to you two?"

Feng Chengrong wasn’t holding back either, going all out:

"Earlier this year, there was a similar visiting group. We had already made contact, and then your wife snatched it away. Doesn’t that count as stealing our opportunity? Also, a few months ago, at the university sports games, we secured interview rights, and it was taken by you. These incidents happen one after another. Did I come looking for you over it? Now, because you didn’t get the interview rights, you’re acting like a shrew, coming to argue with me. How dare you? Don’t be so double-standard!"

Feng Chengrong gave him no face, and Ma Anchen’s face turned pale with anger, his expression embarrassed, wishing he could find a hole to burrow into.

"Just you wait and see!"

"Fine, we’ll see, who’s afraid of who!"

Ma Anchen stormed out, and when he reached the door, he saw Lin Yi just entering.

"Kid, that interview with the Northern United Chamber of Commerce, you arranged it, right?"

"So what if I did?"

"You better watch out, this isn’t over!"

After throwing out a threat, Ma Anchen left, and Lin Yi muttered under his breath.

"Idiot."

Although Ma Anchen hadn’t gone far, he heard Lin Yi’s words and grew even more furious.

But he held back. With his status, squabbling with him would make him notorious at the station if it turned into a brawl.

After Ma Anchen left, the office quieted down. Zhou Li hurriedly poured a glass of water for Feng Chengrong.

"Brother Rong, calm down. It’s not worth getting angry with someone so double-standard."

Even though Lin Yi hadn’t been working for long, he could tell that Feng Zhengrong was a nice guy with a good temper. To get him this riled up, it was clear how much Ma Anchen was in the wrong.

"It’s just too infuriating. How can he have the nerve to come to me over this, without any sense of dignity?"

There’s a saying that even a rabbit will bite when it’s in a corner, and this is the best proof.

"That couple has always been like that, always thinking of themselves, and if others don’t give in to them, it’s considered unfair. Not many people at the station get along with them."

"From now on, for these two programs, we’ll interview whoever they’re interviewing as well. Even if we can’t secure the interview, we can’t let them off easy. I’m ready to openly clash with them," Feng Chengrong said.

"Regarding the program, isn’t there also Mao Yi and Zhou Shen? Find a way to interview them, and don’t let the ’Entertainment Frontline’ folks snatch them."

"Alright, alright, we’ll give it our all. We definitely won’t let you lose face, but you need to calm down. Your heart isn’t in great condition; have some water."

"Damn it."

Gradually, the office atmosphere calmed down, and everyone returned to their workstations.

"Lin Yi, you used to work under Zhao Jing, right? You guys have a good relationship?" Zhou Li asked.

Lin Yi nodded, "Is it about contacting Mao Yi and Zhou Shen?"

"You’re smart."

Zhou Li said, "Brother Rong has spoken. We’re not in it for the fame, just for the vindication. We can’t let them have their way."

"No problem. I’ll go talk to Zhao Jing. It shouldn’t be an issue."

"Hurry up, then."

Lin Yi got up and left the office, calling Zhao Jing, knowing she was in Studio 2 where the ’Time Concert’ rehearsal was taking place. He had caught her at just the right time.

"You’re here slacking off again, sneaking over to me," Zhao Jing teased when she saw Lin Yi.

"I don’t want you saying that the new replaces the old, so to prove I’m not the type to abandon the past for new things, I must visit you often."

"Don’t think I don’t know your little schemes. Are you trying to interview Mao Yi and Zhou Shen?"

"You even guessed that?"

"Of course." Zhao Jing held her head high, a bit smug as she said:

"You interviewed Xu Qingqing yesterday and now Mao Yi and Zhou Shen today. Are you picking a fight with ’Entertainment Frontline’?"

"You could say that."

"Is it because of Xu Qingqing?"

Lin Yi didn’t hold back and explained what happened the day before to Zhao Jing.

"You can get in touch with the visiting group?"

"I don’t have that ability. I contacted them through Tian Yan, who also attended the meeting yesterday."

"I’ve noticed all your contacts seem to be female."

"Can’t help it; with a face like this, I have to make good use of it."

"Hahah, you’re so vain," Zhao Jing laughed, bending over, then changed topics.

"Since both Mao Yi and Zhou Shen were contacted by you, just go over and have a word with them. There shouldn’t be a problem. Also, tell them not to accept interviews from ’Entertainment Frontline.’ That way, it’ll be revenge."

"I love these kind of scheming strategies."

"Get out of here. If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t bother giving ideas," Zhao Jing said pridefully.

"I watched your interview content from yesterday and felt something was off. It didn’t match the vibe of your program. You might want to consider a different interview approach."

"You noticed it too?"

"I’ve long noticed it. It was completely mismatched," Zhao Jing said. "I actually have a suggestion if you’re willing to hear it."

"Hmm."

"Have them guest-star, doing host and journalist work."

"Guest-host journalists?"

"In fact, as long as celebrities appear on screen, there will be an audience. Allowing them to guest as hosts or journalists, or even assistants, lets them appear while not interrupting news coverage. It stays true to the program’s tone while adding entertainment."
