Chapter 3889: Chapter 3877: Promising Lin Yi the Moon

Everyone was chatting and laughing, not taking Wang Jia’s matter to heart.

Time passed quickly, by noon the group went to the cafeteria for lunch, then discussed the filming plan for the next topic.

Meanwhile, the people from "Entertainment Frontline" were also eating in the cafeteria.

"Sister Jia, what are you looking at?"

Next to Zhang Lei, there was a woman wearing a white sheath dress, her hair cut neatly to her jaw, giving her a smart and capable look.

The woman’s name is Wang Jia, the lead host of the program, even the producer of the show respects her.

Online, she has over 100,000 followers, and even mentioning her to ordinary people might ring a bell.

Wang Jia lifted her chin, prompting Zhang Lei and Chen Hui to turn and see the people from the "Nearby News" show.

"That man should be the one who ranked first in the comprehensive test, right?"

"He just got lucky, and Director Sun personally brought him over, he might have cheated, otherwise with his capability, how could he possibly rank first?"

The speaker said it casually, but the listener took it seriously.

The words were especially jarring to Chen Hui’s ears.

Lin Yi could only have cheated during the written test; no way he cheated during the interview, yet he still outshone someone like me, who graduated from a specialized course.

And I was the real cheater, but even then, I didn’t perform better than him.

"None of that matters. Earlier, that person named Zhao Yuhuan said Lin Yi has been investigating the pharmaceutical factory’s sewage issue, right?"

"They originally had accounts for this type of thing, deliberately provoking disputes and conflicts on both sides, stimulating the audience’s attention to gain traffic. Honestly, people like that are really despicable."

Holding her chopsticks, Wang Jia rested them on the tray, staring thoughtfully at Lin Yi.

"Looks like I’ll need to talk to him about this; that person called Zhao Yuhuan doesn’t seem to be much help."

"Indeed, he holds an advantageous position in some matters, talking to him directly is best."

"That might not be necessarily true," Chen Hui said:

"He’s just a newcomer, while the program group still has many veterans, he should not have any decision-making power."

"Not necessarily."

Zhang Lei instinctively countered Chen Hui, trying to showcase his unique insights.

"Lin Yi has support from Sun Guofu and Zhao Jing behind him, if it weren’t something very important, his ideas might not face opposition," Zhang Lei said:

"And furthermore, he’s willfully self-reliant, selfish, using unscrupulous means for traffic, so this episode is definitely led by him."

"If that’s the case, then we should talk to him."

"Sister Jia, you don’t need to worry about this, just leave it to me."

Wang Jia glanced up at Zhang Lei, "You’re sure you can handle him?"

"Sister Jia, rest assured, dealing with him is a cinch, a piece of cake."

Wang Jia nodded, "Go find him first, if it doesn’t work, I’ll contact Feng Chengrong."

"Okay."

Elsewhere, after finishing lunch, Lin Yi and the others placed their trays in the designated area and prepared to head back to the office.

"Lin Yi."

Just a few steps out of the cafeteria, someone called out to him from behind, it was Zhang Lei.

But this time he wasn’t alone, Chen Hui was also at his side.

Clearly, the two had just finished eating and come out from the cafeteria.

"What’s up?"

"I heard about your program, it’s investigating the wastewater discharge of Shengxin Pharmaceutical Factory, right?"

"You heard about it and still ask?"

"Could you mind your tone a bit, we are colleagues after all, don’t treat me like I owe you money."

Since he had Wang Jia’s marching orders, Zhang Lei stiffened up, trying to use his attitude to subdue Lin Yi, while recovering his face.

"Then speak up, say what you’ve got to say, don’t waste my time."

Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Zhang Lei’s expression turned ugly, especially with Chen Hui present, his dignity felt somewhat dented.

"I know you’re leading this matter, regardless, we used to be colleagues, do me a favor and stop investigating this matter."

"Hmm? Why?"

"No particular reason, just as a favor to me, I’ll treat you to dinner someday," Zhang Lei said breezily:

"Moreover, it’s not such a big deal, no need to keep pursuing it."

Lin Yi felt a headache coming.

He used to be the one painting big pictures for others, and now everyone wants to paint one for him.

"I don’t like hearing that; why should I do you a favor? What’s the worth of your favor?"

Lin Yi replied:

"Are you the station director? Saying not to record the program and it’s done, aren’t you mistaking your role?"

"To be real with you, Shengxin Pharmaceutical Factory’s cold medicine is endorsed by my colleague, if you continue reporting, it’ll bring many troubles, so let’s drop it, go inform your director, there are so many programs to shoot, no need to limit to this one."

"I know, isn’t it Wang Jia’s endorsement? But we’re doing a program, what makes you dictate pointers?" Lin Yi said.

"You knew!"

"I guess Wang Jia asked you to come here, too, right? But these talks are useless to me, just do your work well."

After speaking, Lin Yi walked away without looking back, not acknowledging Zhang Lei and Chen Hui, he headed back to his office.

"Damn it, that bastard really doesn’t budge!" Zhang Lei stomped in frustration.

He had taken the military orders, but hadn’t accomplished the task, feeling a bit lost on what to do.

"Let it go, Lin Yi is not so easy to handle," Chen Hui said.

"A person like him is a scourge to our station, he spoils the atmosphere."

Grumbling, Zhang Lei returned to the office.

"How did it go?" Wang Jia asked.

"Lin Yi is so detestable, knowing you endorsed the pharmaceutical factory’s cold medicine, yet still wants to investigate, what’s his agenda!"

"Got it," Wang Jia said nothing more, ready to handle the matter herself.

Back at her desk, she took out her phone, dialing Feng Chengrong’s number.

...

Back in the office, Lin Yi, Zhou Li and Ma Jun sat together.

Discussing the shooting plan at the Pickles Factory, intending to leave in the afternoon and not return at night.

"Damn it, the call came to me," Feng Chengrong cursed, catching everyone’s attention.

"What happened, Brother Rong?"

"Wang Jia called me, asked not to follow up on the pharmaceutical factory’s sewage issue."

"What’s your thought?" Zhou Li asked.

"Let her buzz off, you continue filming, ignore everything."

"With your word, that’s all we need."

Subsequently, Zhou Li explained her shooting plan to Feng Chengrong, who agreed, and the three of them set off together.
