Chapter 4025: Chapter 4013: An Unexpected Connection

"This..."

Having his cover blown by Zhao Jing, Ma Liansheng was completely stunned, his body frozen, unable to move.

"No, no, how could I do something like that."

Zhao Jing raised an eyebrow, "If you still won’t admit it, I’ll call the venue’s supervisor to confirm this matter."

Ring ring ring—

Just as Ma Liansheng was about to speak, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was his sister-in-law, Liu Xiaoli, calling.

Seeing the call, Ma Liansheng’s heart raced, a bad premonition arose spontaneously.

Ma Liansheng dared not answer and directly hung up.

But soon, the call came again, and Ma Liansheng hung up once more.

And after hanging up, Liu Xiaoli’s message came through.

Liu Xiaoli: "Blame you, I got fired."

Seeing the message content, Ma Liansheng could hardly stand still, never expected things would escalate to this point.

How could they have such clout to make the venue’s boss fire his sister-in-law!

"Old Ma, you’ve worked at the station for many years, how could you do such a thing, what were you thinking! You’ve really disappointed me!" Zhang Qingyu said coldly.

At this point, there’s no way to hide it anymore, might as well be honest.

"Director Zhang, I lost my mind, didn’t want to lose the chance to be the chief director."

"If you don’t want to lose that opportunity, you should work hard to improve the quality of the content!" Zhang Qingyu raised his tone.

"You’ve been the director of the New Year’s Eve Gala for three consecutive years, haven’t you thought of why you were replaced? Isn’t it because the program’s quality and standard don’t keep up with the times?"

Zhang Qingyu paced angrily, loudly rebuked:

"You’ve done well, instead of finding the reason in yourself, you resorted to intrigue, I don’t even know what to say to you."

Ma Liansheng hung his head low, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, it was entirely his fault, there was no valid argument to refute.

"Alright, go out, submit a review to me."

"Understood."

Ma Liansheng left, leaving only two people in the office.

"Now this task falls on you, do it well, it’s such a big matter, absolutely no mistakes can be made."

"Understood."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Jing left directly for the Morning News crew.

At that time, Lin Yi was looking for suitable filming material, noticed Zhao Jing coming, and put down his work.

"How did it go, what did Director Zhang say?"

"Of course, he sided with me."

Then, Zhao Jing recounted the whole process to Lin Jiang.

"Just brushed over it like that?"

In Lin Yi’s view, this isn’t a minor issue, such a handling already considers Ma Liansheng greatly.

"Ma Liansheng is Director Li’s person, even if you hit the dog, you have to see the master, probably wanted to give Director Li some face."

"You mean Director Li is Li Yueqin?"

Zhao Jing nodded, "He’s the third-in-command at the station, with such happenings, naturally some face must be given."

"Now I get it, probably not replacing him directly but letting you join the competition also has something to do with it."

"Smart."

"So it’s understandable, I guess this matter is coming to an end."

"But no matter what, the result is good."

Very relaxed, Zhao Jing tidied her hair, looking at Lin Yi.

"Got time tonight, want to grab a drink?"

"I’m afraid not, today’s schedule is full, but if you’re inviting me to a hotel for a drink, I might free up some time."

"Get lost, teasing me again." Zhao Jing stood up, "Since you’re busy, let’s pick another day, I have other things to attend, see you."

"Mm."

Zhao Jing left, Lin Yi checked the time and found it nearly up, packed his stuff.

It’s been days since returning, and he hasn’t invited Yan Ci for a meal, she’s been complaining about it.

Not long after, Yan Ci messaged saying she was by the station entrance, Lin Jiang shut down the computer and exited.

...

On the other side, Ma Liansheng went to Li Yueqin’s office after leaving.

"How did the conversation go, did Zhang Qingyu advise you on anything?"

"The secret’s out, Zhang Qingyu knows these things were orchestrated by me, he scolded me."

"Hmm?"

Li Yueqin looked at Ma Liansheng in surprise.

"How did he know!"

"I don’t know either, maybe Lin Yi’s connections are too strong, found their top leader, then..."

"Can even contact their top leader." Li Yueqin murmured, "Exactly what is the deal with Lin Yi, knows so many people."

"It’s baffling for me too, and the people he knows aren’t ordinary."

"Alright, at this point, saying more is pointless, keep a low profile recently, don’t let Zhang Qingyu catch any more of your mistakes."

"Understood."

"I have other matters, I’ll leave first."

"Got it, Director Li."

Gathering his stuff, Li Yueqin left.

At the same time, Lin Yi also exited the station, the two almost rode the elevator together, upon seeing each other, they sized each other up but didn’t speak, walking out together.

Unusually, Yan Ci was wearing a jumpsuit-dress, long enough to reach her ankles, even in flat shoes, she appeared very tall.

Seeing Lin Yi outside, Yan Ci had a faint smile on her face.

But the next second, the smile vanished.

Because she saw Li Yueqin coming out with Lin Yi.

Back then when Yan Ci resigned, it was greatly related to Li Yueqin, didn’t expect to meet again today.

"Oh, isn’t this Yan Ci."

Seeing Yan Ci, Li Yueqin stepped forward to greet, "Heard you’re running a company now, seems you’re doing well."

Seeing Li Yueqin greet Yan Ci, Lin Yi was first surprised, then upon reconsideration, it seemed reasonable.

Yan Ci used to work here, knowing the station’s people also makes sense.

"Hmm, it’s okay."

Yan Ci nodded slightly, lacking enthusiasm, upon seeing Lin Yi, she proactively approached, linking arms with him to leave.

Seeing this, Li Yueqin paused in shock.

Thought Yan Ci was here to discuss cooperation, might get a chance to communicate more.

But didn’t expect, she was here for Lin Yi.

Even uncertain how the two knew each other.

Watching Lin Yi’s back, Li Yueqin squinted, "I just underestimated you."

Lin Yi and Yan Ci left and got into the car.

"Why didn’t you chat more, perhaps there’ll be business dealings in the future."

"There’s nothing worth talking about with him." Yan Ci said:

"When I resigned, it was related to him, I’d rather not engage ever again."
