I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 3790: Chapter 3781: Workplace Villains

"Hm?"

Zhao Yuhuan looked at Lin Yi. "Lin Bro, you did that on purpose?"

"Of course. We have to let the audience know the whole story from start to finish, that’s how you get better show effect. Otherwise when the reversal happens, it’s no fun."

"The problem now is, how are we going to solve this?" Zhao Yuhuan said:

"That mother and son don’t even give the police any face, there’s nothing we can do either."

"There’s a phrase called ’saving the nation by a roundabout route’. If one method doesn’t work, we just use another one."

Zhao Yuhuan’s face was full of question marks. She still didn’t understand what Lin Yi was planning.

"Everyone has something they’re afraid of. Once you find it, you’ve got a way to deal with them."

Zhao Yuhuan stared at Lin Yi in surprise.

"Lin Bro, you’re not thinking of doing something to their daughter, are you?"

Lin Yi was half amused, half exasperated. "Where is your mind going? This is the adults’ business. No matter what, you can’t drag a kid into it."

"Then what are we supposed to do now?"

"Go back, clock out, get off work. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow."

"Got it."

Lin Yi drove back. Most people in the office had already left.

One of the perks of this kind of unit is you don’t need to work overtime at night. In other MCN agencies, overtime is basically the norm.

There weren’t many people still working overtime in the office, and one of them was 18, while his teammate Chen Yuan had already left.

Seeing the two of them come back, 18 glanced at them, then got up and walked over.

"Yu Han, how come you two were off post this afternoon? It’s your first day at work, you really can’t do that."

"We went out to shoot material, we weren’t doing anything else. Why can’t we?"

"Normally it’s fine, but doing that on your first day doesn’t leave a good impression on the leaders. This is a little workplace trick; you need to learn this kind of thing later."

"I don’t see any problem, and Director Zhao is not going to say anything about us."

"You’re young, just graduated, you totally don’t get workplace rules. You absolutely can’t charge around blindly, can’t just do whatever you like."

checked his phone. "I’m almost done here. You got plans tonight? Let’s grab a meal together. I’ve got a bit more work experience than you, I can teach you some of this stuff."

"Thanks for the offer, but no need."

Zhao Yuhuan turned back to her desk, getting ready to pack up and clock out.

Right then, Zhao Jing came out of her office, handbag in hand, heels clicking, her aura somewhat similar to Yan Ci’s.

Seeing Zhao Jing, 18 immediately walked over.

"Director Zhao, I’ve figured out the program content. I’m going to do an entertainment segment. Once the account takes off, we can also connect with other shows on the TV station and play a promotional role."

Zhao Jing thought for a moment. "That kind of content works. Try it out first and see how it performs."

In fact, 18 had deliberately stayed, just waiting for this chance.

Let Zhao Jing see he was working overtime, then go report his work.

"Got it, Director Zhao."

Zhao Jing nodded, looked over at Lin Yi and Zhao Yuhuan, and casually asked:

"What did you two do this afternoon?"

"Director Zhao..."

Just as Zhao Yuhuan started to speak, 18 cut her off.

"Director Zhao, they’re young, they don’t really understand the unit’s rules yet. I’ve already talked to them. How can they just run around during work hours? It won’t happen again."

Lin Yi gave 18 a look. His little scheme was practically written all over his face.

"Director Zhao, that’s not how it was. We didn’t skip out; we went with Lin Bro to shoot material."

As she spoke, Zhao Yuhuan took out her phone. "Here’s the material we shot, take a look."

Zhao Jing didn’t look at her phone; instead she said in mild surprise:

"You found suitable material that quickly?"

"There’s this old lady who started banging pots and pans at home every day to disturb the neighbors because people wouldn’t let her dance square dance. Even the police couldn’t talk her down. We thought it was pretty interesting, so we went over to interview her," Zhao Yuhuan said.

Zhao Jing listened carefully, nodding repeatedly.

"The key issue is how you’re going to resolve this. If even the police couldn’t handle it, can you? If you can’t solve the problem, you can’t put this kind of content out; it’ll just turn the audience off."

"We’re also figuring out a solution. If we can’t solve it, we definitely won’t post it."

"As long as you get that, good. But how come you didn’t call Wang Xiyang when you went out to shoot?"

"Brother Wang was busy this afternoon, so we didn’t ask him to come."

"As long as you can handle it yourselves, it’s fine. Just be careful about your words and actions during interviews, don’t cross any lines. Netizens these days have sharper eyes than each other. One slip and you’ll become a negative example."

"Got it."

"Do a good job. Your topic choice is good, it has potential."

"Thank you, Director Zhao."

Zhao Jing nodded and left, leaving 18 standing there a bit embarrassed.

Zhao Yuhuan glanced at him. "Do me a favor and mind your own business from now on, okay? Don’t meddle in our team’s stuff, can you?"

gave an awkward smile. "I didn’t mean anything else, I just wanted to help you."

"We don’t need your help. Just take care of your own work."

Zhao Yuhuan packed up her things and left. Lin Yi followed right behind, feeling this girl was actually pretty interesting.

Newcomers in the workplace nowadays really do have fire in them, like little barrels of gasoline, leaving people like 18—who think too highly of themselves—completely stunned when they get snapped at.

"Lin Bro, are we coming into the unit tomorrow, or continuing to shoot?"

"Hard to say for now. Let’s go back to the unit first."

"Okay."

"How are you getting home? Want me to give you a lift?"

"Thanks, Lin Bro, I’ll just take the subway. My place is right at the stop."

"Okay, bye."

After they parted, Lin Yi got in his car. On his phone, Wang Xu had already sent over the details on Li Hongjuan’s whole family.

There were phone numbers, license plate numbers, even ID numbers.

For Lin Yi, that was more than enough.

Lin Yi forwarded everything on his phone to Xiao Bing and had her look into this family’s basic situation.

"Having the Central Guards Brigade investigate you is kind of an honor, honestly."

After sending the info, Lin Yi figured that with Xiao Bing’s skills, she’d have results by tonight. As for how exactly to deal with this family—

He’d wait for the investigation results before deciding.

With the follow-up arranged, Lin Yi went home. He had just finished eating when Xiao Bing’s message came in.

Li Hongjuan’s son and daughter-in-law both worked at a company called Red Star Chemical, which was a state-owned enterprise.

But what he really hadn’t expected was that before retiring, Li Hongjuan had been an educator.

Seeing this, Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, people are born bad; it’s got nothing to do with job completion rate.
