Chapter 3929: Chapter 3917: Joy Turns to Sorrow
Qin Yuejin was taken aback, not expecting Zhang Qingyu to pay attention to this matter.
"That guy, he has ability and is passionate about his work. I just want to transfer him to the Broadcasting Center; it’s just a normal personnel transfer."
Zhang Qingyu’s eyebrows furrowed, and his expression turned grim.
"Listen to what you’re saying. He has ability, he’s passionate about his work, and you actually want to transfer him? What are you thinking?"
Zhang Qingyu’s attitude surprised Qin Yuejin again.
Lin Yi is just a small employee, why take it so seriously?
"But he has so many issues; he creates trouble everywhere, not only stealing interviews from other segments, offending many people. Someone like him is a bad apple; if we keep him at our station, the work atmosphere will be disrupted."
Zhang Qingyu leaned back in his chair, stared at Qin Yuejin, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Leader, don’t look at me like that. The issue isn’t about transferring Lin Yi. It’s about how he’s done such things and ruined our station’s reputation."
"Can you secure a 30 million investment? Can you get Xu Qingqing to appear on our show for free?"
Zhang Qingyu’s two questions left Qin Yuejin stunned.
"What do you mean?"
"To be straightforward, the 30 million naming fee for ’Time Concert’ was brought in by Lin Yi. And Xu Qingqing appearing for free on ’Strongest Resonance’ was also arranged by Lin Yi, generating over 40 million in performance. Can you achieve that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the office was dumbfounded.
They only knew Lin Yi had been doing shows with Zhao Jing, never expecting him to bring in such sponsorships, not even 18 knew.
"But..."
"But what?" Zhang Qingyu asked unpleasantly.
Qin Yuejin was speechless, glanced at Xu Jiachun, stammering for a long time without saying anything.
"You two, along with Ma Anchen, are all talking bad about Lin Yi, wanting to transfer him. What is it? Did he move your cake, making you uncomfortable?"
"No, no, no! Absolutely not!"
Qin Yuejin and Xu Jiachun quickly denied, "Absolutely no such thing."
"Do you think my eyes are blind? Do I not know your behavior at the station?"
Zhang Qingyu’s expression was serious; even a blind man could see he was angry.
"Are you now only able to eliminate anyone who doesn’t follow your line?"
"But he did such things, which is tarnishing us, we can’t let him off lightly!" Qin Yuejin said.
"It’s the first time I’ve heard a foolish thief blame his crime on the informant," Zhang Qingyu said:
"Moreover, all of this is conjecture on your part, without a shred of evidence. Why say Lin Yi did it?"
Faced with this, Qin Yuejin and others felt uneasy, their faces turned pale, momentarily unsure how to respond.
"According to your logic, should anyone with suspicion just be dealt with? Clearing out anyone you dislike until only those who follow you remain? Then issue an announcement stating the station’s recruitment was entirely legitimate and open to social oversight, awaiting public memory to fade away so you can resume your carefree days?"
Upon hearing this, they felt guilty, as they had approached with that mindset, treating the matter lightly.
But they didn’t expect Zhang Qingyu to side with Lin Yi!
"You can leave now; we’ll hold a meeting to determine your punishment."
"Leader..."
"Leave now."
Without giving Qin Yuejin any chance to speak further, Zhang Qingyu waved them off, directly putting them out the door.
Outside the door, the four stood looking defeated, like wilted eggplants.
and Chen Hui hung their heads, having long aimed to defeat Lin Yi, wanting to be the strongest among the interviewees.
Yet each time, they were overtaken by him.
This time, they thought they’d surely take Lin Yi down, only to find out they might not even remain.
With things reaching this point, it’s disingenuous to say there’s no regret.
Time cannot turn back now, and it’s too late for words.
"Old Qin, what do we do now?"
With things at this stage, Qin Yuejin didn’t know what to do next.
"Let’s wait and see. I’ll have a chat with Sui Tai and see if there’s a chance for a turnaround."
"That’s all we can do now."
The four returned dejected, while Ma Anchen and Wang Jia were standing at the program group’s entrance.
"You said what? Our issue also got exposed?"
"Mainly the situation with the pharmaceutical factory, because you’re responsible for getting the endorsement and I’m responsible for filming. The external focus has targeted us." Ma Anchen said:
"This is definitely premeditated, otherwise it couldn’t happen like this."
"It must be Lin Yi! There’s no one else!" Wang Jia said definitively.
"Don’t panic yet, Director Qin went to Director Zhang’s office. After adding fuel, he should be able to get rid of him."
"This troublemaker as long as he’s around, we’ll never have peace."
"Don’t rush. Keep a low profile and don’t let them catch any evidence against you this time." Ma Anchen added:
"By the way, I forgot to ask, is it true that online speculation says Chen Hui is Director Qin’s niece from your group?"
"Feels about 80% true," Wang Jia said:
"I heard that back during the interview, Lin Yi’s overall score was better than Chen Hui’s, and he had experience, which was why Director Sun brought him in. Logically, he should have joined our group, but Chen Hui ended up coming, which speaks to certain issues."
"If that’s the case, then the current scenario favors us. Lin Yi must be leaving, just keep a low profile for now."
"They’re back!"
Ma Anchen turned to see Chen Hui and 18 approaching.
"Huihui, what did Director Zhang say?" Wang Jia stepped forward and asked.
"He told us to wait for notification." Chen Hui responded dejectedly.
"Hmm? Wait for notification? What does that mean?"
"Director Zhang wants to investigate the responsibilities here and said that they’ll decide the outcome in a meeting."
Upon hearing this, both were dumbfounded, not expecting such a result.
"He’s actually going to deal with you all for Lin Yi?" Ma Anchen said shocked.
"Director Zhang says Lin Yi secured the station a 30 million naming fee, and Xu Qingqing’s free participation in ’Strongest Resonance’ is also thanks to Lin Yi’s efforts. So Director Zhang intends to protect Lin Yi; as for us, it’s uncertain what will happen."
Upon hearing this, the two were left speechless.
No one expected Zhang Qingyu to punish Qin Yuejin and Xu Jiachun for Lin Yi!
Ring, ring, ring—
Just then, Ma Anchen’s phone rang; it was a call from Zhang Qingyu!
