I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3825: Chapter 3813: Hidden Intentions

"Hey hey hey, don’t go!"

Seeing Xu Qingqing showing no respect, Wang Minji chased after her and stopped her outside.

Xu Qingqing’s voice was loud enough that even through the door, you could hear her speaking.

"I’ve already given you plenty of face. If he doesn’t apologize, this won’t be over, and I’m not recording this program!"

The three people inside all heard what Xu Qingqing said.

Lin Yi didn’t feel anything, but Zhang Qingyu and Zhao Jing’s expressions were not good.

"This Xu Qingqing is getting a bit arrogant. Just because she’s gained some fame, she really thinks she’s something special," Zhang Qingyu said with a gloomy face.

"Many celebrities are like this nowadays. You can’t expect too much from someone who hasn’t studied much," Zhao Jing said bluntly.

Zhang Qingyu slapped the table, "If it doesn’t work out, replace her. I don’t believe the Earth won’t spin without her!"

While the two were speaking, Wang Minji came in from outside.

"Director Zhang."

"What did Xu Qingqing say?" Zhang Qingyu asked with a dark expression.

"She’s sticking to her original demand: if Lin Yi doesn’t apologize, she won’t record the program."

"Goddammit!"

Zhang Qingyu cursed in anger.

"Is she threatening me?"

Seeing Zhang Qingyu angry, Wang Minji didn’t know what to say.

"Then don’t let her record. There are so many stars; I don’t believe we really need her,"

"Director Zhang, she’s currently one of the hottest stars on the internet. Although there are a few others on par with her, they’re either unavailable, or their fees are too high. Xu Qingqing is the most suitable choice," Wang Minji said:

"This episode relies on Xu Qingqing for appeal. If she doesn’t come, I don’t know how this variety show will be recorded."

While speaking, Wang Minji glanced at Lin Yi.

"Director Zhang, upsetting Xu Qingqing over a low-level employee doesn’t seem wise to me."

"Low-level employee?" Zhang Qingyu replied:

"The Chuangrong crisis has gone unresolved for over a year. After Lin Yi got involved, they promised resolution within six months. Who among you could achieve that?"

Initially, Zhang Qingyu thought that although Lin Yi had a point, his way of handling things was a bit rough, and he wanted to mediate as a middleman.

But Xu Qingqing’s attitude completely infuriated him, leading him to consider replacing her.

"He actually resolved it?" Wang Minji was a bit surprised; this was something he hadn’t anticipated.

"Why wouldn’t he?"

"It’s probably because of pressure from above. He just happened to catch the right timing. I can’t believe that a low-level employee could solve such a big issue just by a simple report," Wang Minji said:

"Many media outlets had previously reported this, but none of them caused any stir. It’s definitely a coincidence."

"Don’t worry about coincidences; now’s not the time to discuss these. I’m asking you, can this program go on without Xu Qingqing?" Zhang Qingyu asked seriously.

"It can go on, but the quality can’t be guaranteed. After all, this variety show relies on Xu Qingqing,"

"Alright, I understand, you can leave now."

Wang Minji left, leaving Lin Yi and Zhao Jing still there.

"This Wang Minji is wielding power irresponsibly," Zhang Qingyu said.

"There’s no choice. He’s the only mature producer we have at the station, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to talk to you like that," Zhao Jing said.

"In my opinion, we shouldn’t use him at all," Lin Yi spoke up:

"If this variety show gets popular, he’ll become even more insufferable, and he might not even take Director Zhang seriously anymore."

"Do you think I really want to use him? I want Zhao Jing to run another variety show, but she won’t go,"

"Why not?" Lin Yi looked at Zhao Jing, "Do you want to see him keep putting on airs?"

"Producing a variety show requires a solid foundation, along with traffic and funding support. If I go out to produce a show, I definitely won’t get many resources, and the effect will be minimal."

"If you think like that, you’ll never succeed."

Lin Yi stretched a bit, "Director Zhang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave. However, this matter is somewhat related to me. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know."

"I like the way you talk. Go and work on her mentality; create some competition."

After speaking with Lin Yi, Zhang Qingyu looked at Zhao Jing again:

"Wang Minji is Sui Zhao Hai’s man. If this program becomes popular, their influence will grow, and your room to maneuver here will be further limited."

Zhao Jing remained silent for a long time, "I know, I’ll think it over, wait for my reply."

"Alright, go ahead."

Lin Yi and Zhao Jing left and reached the elevator.

Zhao Jing checked her watch and realized it was already past noon.

"It’s late now, the canteen probably has nothing, let’s go out to eat something."

"Is the leader treating?"

Zhao Jing smiled, "Sure, my treat."

The two took the elevator to the first floor. Zhao Jing drove Lin Yi to the Sichuan restaurant they had eaten at with Yan Ci before.

"What do you feel like eating? Order anything."

Lin Yi wasn’t polite and ordered two dishes, one meat, and one vegetarian.

Once the dishes were served, Lin Yi focused on eating quietly.

"Don’t just eat, tell me your thoughts. Why do you want to support me in producing a variety show?"

"Because this is your last chance. If you don’t seize it, there might be no more opportunities."

"What do you mean?"

"If I’m not wrong, you’re aligned with Zhang Qingyu, aren’t you?"

"You could tell?"

"It’s obvious to anyone who’s not blind."

"He was the one who brought me in, so you’re not wrong," Zhao Jing said.

"This involves factional conflict. The media platform is just a stepping stone, a stage for building your reputation. Now, asking you to venture out to produce a variety show indicates the timing is ripe, but you’ve been refusing. If you don’t do it, you’ll be marginalized, and someone else will take your place."

"Are you saying he’ll kick me out?"

"Not necessarily kicking you out, but you’re currently his weapon. If this weapon is ineffective, naturally it won’t be used," Lin Yi said:

"If you don’t do it, his patience with you will wear out. So I suggest you do it. There’s nothing you can only do when you’re ready; it’s all about pushing through."

Zhao Jing looked at Lin Yi in surprise, "I didn’t expect you to see things so clearly, I’m quite surprised."

"It’s all quite apparent," Lin Yi said:

"Today’s incident, causing such a stir, don’t think Zhang Qingyu is helping me. He’s just using this opportunity to sabotage ’Strongest Resonance’ so that the factional struggle works in his favor. If this were your program, I would’ve been fired long ago."
