Chapter 4006: Chapter 3994: You Really Want to Touch It?

"Look at you, it’s a perfectly proper relationship, and yet when you talk, it changes flavor."

Zhao Jing rested her cheek on one hand and watched Lin Yi with interest.

"But that girl named Yang Wantong does have a pretty face and a nice figure, so even if you two had a thing, it would be normal."

"Clearly you don’t trust me. I’m married; how could I do such a thing?"

"Being married hasn’t stopped you from flirting with me, has it?"

"Uh... flirting and flirting, those are two different things," Lin Yi explained with a smile:

"The main issue is Zhou Qian. I think she’s incapable of taking on big tasks, so having Yang Wantong come over to replace her role means I won’t be short-handed under my command."

"So that’s your thought process. You are the first in the entire station to dare to innovate boldly like this."

"The situations of different people vary. I have fewer concerns, so I can also work more easily."

"It’s not that you have fewer concerns, but that your abilities and accomplishments are evident to all. The leaders here aren’t fools; they know the performance you can bring, and as long as it’s not a colossal blunder, they’ll surely side with you."

"Don’t even mention it. Just now at Zhangtai’s office, he asked me for two more boxes of tea. Anyone unaware would think I’m using gifts to climb the ranks."

Zhao Jing laughed so hard she rocked back and forth, "That’s a kind of alternative recognition of your worth."

Lin Yi was a bit helpless too.

"Alright, enough about me. Your two programs should have almost aired by now. Has the station given you any new assignments?"

"Yes, but I don’t want to take it," Zhao Jing said with a troubled expression, her smile fading.

"What exactly is the task? It’s made our Director Zhao worried like this?"

"The New Year’s Eve Gala. The station decided to let me be in charge. I lack too much experience in this area. If it goes wrong, all my previous efforts will go to waste, and everyone will laugh at me."

"If it’s the New Year’s Eve Gala, then the program content might be complicated."

"That’s why I’m so anxious now, not wanting to take it. Director Zhang tries to work on my mindset every day, wanting me to be more positive."

"Since they said so, you probably don’t have any other choice, right."

"That’s not exactly true," Zhao Jing said:

"In the past, Director Ma was responsible for the New Year’s Eve Gala. But now I’ve launched two programs, both with great ratings. Plus, the previous gala events were always trashed by other stations, so the higher-ups want a change."

"From this perspective, they’re putting you under great pressure," Lin Yi said:

"If you don’t do well, your reputation will suffer, and your abilities will be questioned. If you succeed, you could upset Director Ma."

"It’s not that bad. Director Zhang suggested that the two of us come up with a plan together and then veto him, which would still give him face."

Lin Yi nodded, "It’s up to you now, how you want to handle this."

"I plan to drag it out. When their patience runs low with me, maybe I can smooth it over."

"I doubt it; besides, that’s not a good plan. You might as well grit your teeth and give it a shot. Who knows, maybe you’ll succeed."

Lin Yi said:

"And at this moment, you can’t consider matters of sentimentality. You’ve already successfully navigated your first career turning point, and now you’re at the second. Whether you can take another step ahead might depend on this opportunity."

"If I have to do it, I might not have the confidence, but if you help me, I think it’s worth a try."

"Uh... I’m feeling like I dug a pit for myself here."

"It’s up to you. If you’re willing to help me, I’ll take on this task. If you won’t help me, I’ll refuse it."

"I’m willing to help, is there any benefit?"

Zhao Qing rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, "What, do you really want to lay a hand?"

"It’s gotten smaller, I don’t want to touch it. No feel at all."

"Now you’re picky? I’m not letting you touch it, anyway," Zhao Jing said, looking at Lin Yi. "Alright, stop teasing. Can you spare some time to help me out? I don’t have the confidence on my own."

"But I want to know where your confidence in me comes from. I’m just a second-rate hand, aren’t you afraid I’ll mess it up for you?"

"You might not have experience in this area, but I feel like you have the ability to solve problems. It seems like no challenges are really challenges for you, so I’m not afraid of anything anymore."

"When you say it like that, it makes me feel like you’re in love with me."

"Just take it as me being in love with you. So, will you help me or not?"

"You’ve said this much. If I don’t help, it wouldn’t be right. Go ahead and handle it boldly. If you encounter something you can’t handle, just call me."

"I suddenly realize I’ve been tricked by you. This is why you called me here today, isn’t it?"

"By saying this, it implies I just purely wanted to chat with Principal Lin."

"But you gave me this task right when I started working. You’re really treating me like a production team’s workhorse."

"I do think you’re tougher than a workhorse," Zhao Jing’s expression grew more ambiguous, "In that aspect too."

"Director Zhao’s spring heart is stirring; I better leave quickly. Women your age are hard to manage."

"Damn!"

Lin Yi left laughing, then called Sun Guofu to talk about Yang Wantong starting work because the onboarding paperwork needed his signature.

After calling Sun Guofu, Lin Yi then called Yan Ci, first chatting about Jinshan Group and asking her to notify Yang Wantong to come to work in the afternoon.

Returning to the office, Lin Yi glanced around the office but did not see Zhou Qian.

"Where did Zhou Qian go?"

"She didn’t come to work this morning. Said she’d be here in the afternoon," Hou Zhitao said.

Lin Yi nodded and said nothing else, turning back to his office.

Yue Sijing came over immediately.

"Is everything settled with Corea?"

"It’s basically finished."

"Here’s the ratings for the past few days. Except for the first day, the subsequent episodes have all broken past two. Not only did the station leaders praise us, but I heard the city leaders were also very pleased with this event. They believe we are very competent as news workers, and I heard they plan to give us a banner."

"This shows our efforts weren’t in vain. In the future, the choice of content might need to be more orthodox."

"I understand. I’ll personally handle this moving forward. Having started well, we can’t fall off later."

"That’s exactly what I mean."

Ring, ring, ring —

Lin Yi’s phone rang. It was a call from Xiao Bing.

"Lin Bro, there’s word that the old man wants to cooperate with Corea in various aspects and set up a lab."
