Chapter 3938: Lin Bro, You Have to Treat Us to Dinner

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After thinking about these things, Lin Yi also threw himself into his work.

No matter what, he had to stand firm on his last shift.

Ring—Ring—Ring—

At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello?"

"Lin Yi, it’s Zhang Qingyu."

"Leader."

"Come to the office for a bit, I have something to discuss."

"Okay, I’ll head over now."

After hanging up, Lin Yi turned and walked out, guessing what Zhang Qingyu wanted to discuss.

It was probably a conversation to hear his thoughts, and if everything was okay, then a transfer order would be issued.

Lin Yi didn’t go immediately but returned to his car, took out two boxes of tea leaves from the trunk, intending to give them to Zhang Qingyu.

It was a coincidence that while waiting for the elevator, he ran into Ma Anchen.

They say enemies are destined to meet; even here, they happened to bump into each other. Lin Yi didn’t know what to say, so he just ignored him.

The elevator arrived, Lin Yi walked in first, followed closely by Ma Anchen.

"Lin Yi, you’re something else; grabbing onto Zhao Jing’s coattails wasn’t in vain, you actually managed to bring us all down."

"You’re really judging a gentleman’s actions with the heart of a villain. It has nothing to do with Zhao Jing, it was all my doing to bring you down."

Ma Anchen gave him a thumbs up, but clearly wasn’t convinced.

"I admit you won this time, but let me tell you, it’s only temporary. It won’t be long before I regain my position; you’d better watch out, or I’ll make you regret it."

"Then I wish you success. I hope you can soon make me regret it."

"We’ll see."

The elevator reached the third floor, where Ma Anchen got out, and Lin Yi went up to the sixth floor.

Perhaps Ma Anchen still didn’t know about the possibility of his transfer to a producer position.

And I’m not sure what his reaction will be once he finds out.

It should be quite interesting probably.

Upon reaching Zhang Qingyu’s office, Lin Yi greeted with a smile.

"Leader, brought you some tea, see how it tastes."

"Oh, receiving a gift from you, that’s quite rare."

"How can you call it a gift, it’s not fashionable to say that now."

"Don’t try to pull a fast one on me."

Zhang Qingyu glanced at the sofa, "Have a seat."

Lin Yi placed the tea leaves next to the desk and sat on the sofa.

"Leader, did you call me here for something?"

"Nothing major, just wanted to chat. You’ve been at the news center for a while, do you have any thoughts about the job?"

"My thought is to boldly speak the truth, resist temptation, not give in to evil forces, uphold the bottom line, and fulfill the essence of being a journalist."

"That’s well-said, great that you understand this." Zhang Qingyu remarked:

"Ma Anchen was demoted for various reasons, and now there’s a vacancy for a producer at ’Morning News’. I hope you can take on the role. Do you have confidence in yourself?"

"No problem, but I’ll need some time to adapt. It would be best if you could assign a few more people to help quickly get things running."

"Okay, I’ll pick suitable people from the station for you. The success of this program depends on your performance."

"My concern is, I’m not very familiar with this segment. Being directly put in charge feels a bit daunting."

"You can understand it as a genuine news program; its reports and content should be relatively formal. If there’s anything unclear, watch a few episodes, and you’ll get the gist."

"Will there be any business trips involved?"

"Certainly, aside from that, there are even tasks requiring going abroad; you’ll need to be prepared for that."

"So there are even assignments abroad for interviews?"

"Environmental protection, healthcare, international finance, armed conflicts, and so on, require interviews. In fact, overseas interview tasks might be even more frequent than domestic ones."

"Looking at it that way, ’Morning News’ might be more formal and serious than other news segments."

"Other news programs mainly do broadcasting, and might even collaborate with you for joint broadcasts and interviews."

"So basically, we do the heavy lifting, and they just borrow our interview content for broadcasting?"

Zhang Qingyu awkwardly chuckled.

"Not entirely, there are still significant differences."

"No problem, as long as the pay is fair, I can do any work."

"Your attitude is really commendable; not everyone can compare to you."

"As working folk, all we have left is a good attitude."

"You should stop pretending; your family conditions must be quite good, don’t play poor."

"Haha..."

"Alright, I’ve said what needed to be said. If there’s any issue, come find me. I’ll definitely help within my capabilities."

"Alright then."

"Go get busy, and prepare yourself. The transfer order should arrive tomorrow, and you can assume your new role."

"Okay."

After a brief chat, Lin Yi left. He hadn’t expected such a swift transfer; tomorrow he would assume his new role.

Ring—Ring—Ring—

At that moment, Lin Yi’s phone rang again; it was Luo Qi calling.

"Lin Bro, what are you up to?"

Luo Qi sounded very cheerful, clearly in a good mood, calling him should have nothing to do with the Central Guards Brigade.

"At work, what’s up?"

"Can you ditch work? We’re planning to have you treat us to a meal today."

"You guys? You’re in Zhong Hai?"

"Yeah, we just got off the plane not long ago, on our way to the TV station."

"Alright, come on over." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Though they always bicker when they meet, after a long time apart, he does miss them.

After hanging up, Lin Yi returned to his office, saying little about his transfer, preferring to let things unfold naturally.

About an hour later, Luo Qi called again.

"Lin Bro, we’re here."

"Wait there, I’m coming to find you."

After hanging up, Lin Yi found Feng Chengrong, asked for a leave, and left work early.

After stepping out, he saw two Alfa vehicles parked at the entrance; shortly after, their doors opened and a group of people descended from the cars.

"Lin Bro, this is your turf in Zhong Hai, today you gotta take us somewhere nice, we’re not going anywhere under 1000 per person."

"No problem, pick any place, as long as you can name it, I’ll take you there."

Lin Yi looked at them, "But what’s the deal with you guys today, everyone seems all smiles."

Though he organizes for them every time they come to Zhong Hai, normally they just go with the flow. This was the first time they actively made demands.

"Not telling you, we’ll spill the beans when we get to the dining place."

"Starting to be mysterious, huh?"

Lin Yi chuckled, "Alright, let’s go, today I’ll treat you to something nice."

"Let’s go, today nobody let Lin Bro save money; we’ve gotta make him bleed."

"Haha, let’s go."
