I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3874: Chapter 3862: Xu Qingqing Arrives

"How could it be? I got the questions in advance. Everyone else only had five minutes. How could he perform better than me!"

"His question was the hardest among you all, and it had the most words, but he recited the whole text in just three minutes."

"But..."

Chen Hui wanted to say something else, but since her uncle said so, he couldn’t possibly be lying to her.

That means Lin Yi’s performance might actually be better than hers!

"Uncle, Director Sun specifically asked for him. Do you think he could have gotten the exam questions in advance?"

"Not likely," Qin Yuejin said:

"This was personally handled by Wang Ling. If Sun Guofu wanted to give him a backdoor pass, he would have to go through her. Also, if he really got the questions in advance, he wouldn’t have picked the hardest one."

Chen Hui sat helplessly in the chair, not knowing what to say.

What her uncle said made sense; if one were to use connections, there would be no need to take the hardest question.

"Uncle, do I still have a chance to host ’Entertainment Frontline’?"

"That’s hard to say; it depends on the situation. After all, being in the second place, you should still have a shot," Qin Yuejin comforted her:

"Alright, don’t worry too much. Go home and get a good night’s sleep."

"Got it, Uncle."

After hanging up, Chen Hui sat weakly in the chair, with her mind filled with thoughts of Lin Yi.

How could he be so amazing?

Chen Hui’s head was full of questions, unable to figure out what was going on.

...

Meanwhile, after finishing the interview, Lin Yi went to Studio No. 2 to find Zhao Jing.

As soon as they met, Zhao Jing smiled and walked over to him.

"Director Sun sent me a message. You came in first for both the interview and the written test. You did well."

"Thanks to Director Zhao’s fortune. Is there anything you want to drink? It’s on me."

"I’ll have an iced latte. I was just thinking of going out for a stroll anyway."

Zhao Jing stretched a bit, then left the studio with Lin Yi.

"I heard from Director Sun about your interview performance. Your broadcasting skills are top-notch. He even said that the professional hosts at the station might not be as good as you."

"If you put it that way, you’re kind of overpraising me. I’m not that great."

Zhao Jing gave Lin Yi a once-over.

"At this point, there’s no need to be so modest. You must stay active in the workplace, especially after you join the news center. Otherwise, no one will take you seriously."

"I’m pretty laid-back as long as nobody bothers me."

"I know that part already. Wang Minji has already been dealt with by you."

"I honestly didn’t want to bother with him, but he just asked for it. I can only apologize to him."

They chatted leisurely and soon arrived at an outside café. After getting two cups of coffee, they returned to the station.

"About the program ’Strongest Resonance’, what are your plans?"

"Don’t even mention it. It’s driving me crazy. I’ve been trying to find suitable candidates, but none seem to fit. Look at my eyes; I’ve got dark circles."

"You have to get your mindset right. It’s not good if you mess up your metabolism over something work-related."

"You know, if I keep going like this, I might just end up with a messed-up metabolism. It’s stressing me out."

"Take it slow; these things can’t be rushed."

"Alright, enough about me. Now that you’ve passed the evaluation and are in the news center, any thoughts?"

"Haven’t thought about it yet. Let’s see what the leaders arrange. It’s not like I can make demands just because I have connections."

"Having an employee like you is truly a leader’s fortune," Zhao Jing laughed and said:

"But I heard there’s a vacancy for a host journalist on the program ’Entertainment Frontline’. You’re ranked first, and your looks are good too. You should consider striving for it."

"I’ll wait for Director Sun’s arrangement before discussing it with him."

The system task is to create a program with a 2.0 viewership rating, so the foundation of the original program’s ratings is also very important.

If the original program already has high ratings, the difficulty of the task would be greatly reduced.

"If you need any help from me, just say so. No need to be polite."

"Alright."

They talked while walking and soon returned to the TV station.

Just as they walked in, they bumped into Wang Minji, who was chatting and laughing with a female colleague as they headed out.

Seeing them, the smile on Wang Minji’s face instantly disappeared, replaced with hostility.

"What a small world; I run into you everywhere," Wang Minji said with a cold face.

"Can’t help it, you’re so idle, with no work to do, wandering the station. Running into you is normal," Lin Yi replied:

"We’re different; we have two programs to work on, busy day in and day out. Just thinking about it makes me tired."

"That’s your own problem. Look for the cause in yourself. What’s the use of complaining all the time?"

"At least our program hasn’t been canceled, and we still have work. I really envy you."

"Hmph! You just keep on envying, then."

With other matters at hand, Wang Minji didn’t want to linger much longer.

After all, his debating skills weren’t as good as Lin Yi’s, and if the conversation continued, he would definitely lose out.

Screech—

At that moment, the door on the first floor opened, and Xu Qingqing and Li Wei walked in from outside.

After the last incident, Wang Minji was no longer as enthusiastic when he saw the two.

He couldn’t figure out why they would come.

Zhao Jing’s gaze also fell on them, but she didn’t take them seriously.

Just as she and Lin Yi were about to leave, they noticed the pair walking over to them.

"Director Zhao, hello. I heard you’ve taken over the program ’Strongest Resonance’."

Zhao Jing was a bit puzzled. Why would Li Wei ask about this?

"Yes, there were some personnel adjustments, so I’m temporarily in charge of this program," Zhao Jing replied courteously.

"Since you’re in charge of this program, we’ve decided to continue participating in the recording. We’ll waive the previous notification fee and help for free."

Zhao Jing was stunned, and so was Wang Minji, standing nearby.

"What are you saying?! Returning to record, and for free!?"

Wang Minji raised his voice, wanting to know what’s going on.

This was also what Zhao Jing wanted to clarify.

"That’s right, we’ll record for free."

"What exactly are you up to? Yesterday you said you wouldn’t record, and now you’re back. Are you playing with me!?"

Wang Minji was unusually agitated, "Hurry up and go find Sui Tai with me and explain this. I could still be the producer of this show. Let’s call it even, and I won’t hold it against you."

"What’s all this noise about?"

Just as Li Wei was about to speak, someone suddenly chimed in.

Looking towards the elevator entrance, they saw Sui Zhao Hai walking over towards them.
