I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 4024: Chapter 4012: To Fail at Stealing the Chicken and Lose the Rice

The two drove back to the TV station.

"Director, look, isn’t that Zhao Jing? And the man next to her should be Lin Yi, the producer of ’Morning News’, right?"

At this moment, Ma Liansheng and one of his directors were walking towards the TV station from outside, coincidentally spotting Lin Yi and Zhao Jing returning.

"It’s them." Ma Liansheng said with a nasty look:

"With Zhao Jing’s capabilities, she certainly can’t handle the venue. Lin Yi must be helping her behind the scenes."

"Can you really have such great ability?"

"Don’t underestimate this person. He’s become the producer of ’Morning News’ within just a few months. He surely has some ability." Ma Liansheng said:

"The leaders above aren’t fools. If he couldn’t create results, they wouldn’t have promoted him like this."

His subordinate director thought for a moment and seemed to understand the reasoning.

The programs Lin Yi was in charge of had particularly high ratings, overshadowing other programs.

Though he wasn’t very welcome, his abilities couldn’t be denied.

"But looking at their faces, they don’t seem too happy. You’d expect them to be proud at this point."

On Ma Liansheng’s face appeared a cold smile.

He understood well why the two showed such expressions.

Through Xiao Li, he knew Lin Yi and Zhao Jing were negotiating a venue collaboration.

But his sister-in-law is the venue’s manager and has a very good relationship with their director, secretly causing some trouble. The cooperation was not proceeding smoothly, hence the gloomy expression.

"Let it be what it is; it doesn’t concern us. Let’s head back."

"Yes."

After returning to the station, Ma Liansheng went to the director’s office first.

Sitting in the office was a middle-aged man, slightly overweight, with short hair.

When Ma Liansheng entered, he was reviewing a document in his hand.

The man’s name was Li Yueqin, ranked third below Sui Zhao Hai and Zhang Qingyu.

The issues of various departments were almost always handled by him, with significant power in his hands.

"Director Li, the matter is almost settled. Zhao Jing should have messed up this one."

Li Yueqin put down the pen in his hand, looking at Ma Liansheng.

"How do you know?"

"I saw them when I came back; their faces weren’t good. If everything was settled, it wouldn’t be like this." Ma Liansheng laughed:

"And just now, I called my sister-in-law; she told me Zhao Jing and Lin Yi were sent away, so this matter can’t go wrong now."

Li Yueqin’s expression was somewhat surprised, "Is Lin Yi involved in this matter too?"

Ma Liansheng nodded and said:

"Actually, Zhao Jing’s capabilities are limited. Many matters are done with Lin Yi’s help, including the previous two programs. Without Lin Yi’s help, they wouldn’t have been so popular."

"Next, it depends on you. If you can negotiate the venue, you will remain the chief director of the New Year’s Eve party." Li Yueqin leaned back on his chair and said:

"But I reviewed your planning proposal; it’s a bit outdated, not in tune with the times. You need to pay attention to this issue. Our station is different from the main station’s New Year’s Gala; we must cater to young audiences. Don’t use those outdated things; young people don’t like them now."

"Understood, Director Li. I’ll revise it."

After chatting a few more sentences, Ma Liansheng was about to leave, but his phone rang in his pocket at this moment.

"Director Li, Director Zhang called me."

"Answer it, see what he has to say."

Ma Liansheng nodded, answered the call, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Director Zhang."

"Come to my office for a moment."

Without giving Ma Liansheng much chance to speak, Zhang Qingyu hung up directly.

"Director Li, an opportunity has come." Ma Liansheng said:

"Zhao Jing couldn’t finalize the venue; she likely won’t be handling the New Year’s Eve party."

"That’s possible." Li Yueqin said with a smile:

"Go have a good talk with Director Zhang, especially about innovation."

"Understood. I’ll head over now."

...

On the other side, after returning to the station, the two parted ways.

Lin Yi returned to his office while Zhao Jing went to Zhang Qingyu’s office.

Seeing Zhao Jing return, Zhang Qingyu put down what he was doing.

"How did the negotiation go, smoothly?"

"It was thrilling but danger-free."

Upon hearing the phrase thrilling but danger-free, Zhang Qingyu felt something amiss, carefully sizing up Zhao Jing and noticing her face wasn’t good.

"What happened? Any problem?"

Zhao Jing recounted the recent events to Zhang Qingyu in detail.

After hearing the whole story, Zhang Qingyu’s face turned extremely sour.

"That Ma Liansheng is really outrageous."

"I didn’t expect him to play tricks behind the scenes. Without Lin Yi, this thing really would’ve been messed up by him."

"And now, the venue matter should be without any trouble, right?"

"Absolutely not."

"Alright, I’ll call Ma Liansheng here now."

"You talk to him, I’m leaving."

"Don’t go."

Zhang Qingyu stopped Zhao Jing, "Stay here; I want to see what he can say."

Saying this, Zhang Qingyu took out his phone and called Ma Liansheng.

The office atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

A few minutes later, the office door was knocked, and then Ma Liansheng entered.

Seeing Zhao Jing’s sullen face, Ma Liansheng felt even more excited.

She must have failed to negotiate the venue, getting scolded by Zhang Qingyu.

Now calling him over for a rescue!

Still think you can fight me? No way!

"Ma Liansheng, you seem to have a good relationship with your sister-in-law, tirelessly obstructing Zhao Jing and her team in negotiating the venue’s lease. Aren’t you supposed to give me an explanation?"

Ma Liansheng stalled, unexpectedly, Zhang Qingyu would say something like this.

"Director Zhang, I don’t quite understand what you mean."

"Don’t understand? Do I have to uncover your cover before you tell the truth?"

Zhang Qingyu looked at Zhao Jing, "You handled this. Tell him."

Zhao Jing looked at Ma Liansheng and said plainly:

"Your sister-in-law is Liu Xiaoli, right? She found someone named Hu Haiyang to ruin the collaboration. But what I want to say is Hu Haiyang is just an operations center director; he doesn’t have much power. We’ve finalized this with the venue’s general manager. Hu Haiyang has already been fired, and your sister-in-law might not stay either."

Ma Liansheng’s hand trembled; he couldn’t believe this outcome.

"As for the things you did secretly, Hu Haiyang has already revealed them. No matter what, we’re colleagues; no need to play these tricks."
