Chapter 1: Airborne Maochuan Jingshi

In the small conference room of Maochuan Economic Vision, the staff sat around a long table.

After a long time of waiting for the station director Jiang Mingli to arrive, everyone started whispering.

Cameraman Du Han quietly patted Xiao Zhan's shoulder and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Xiao, what kind of trouble is this? Didn't we agree that you would take over the schedule of "Lao Zhou Watches Movies"? Why do we suddenly have to reconvene the meeting to discuss it?"

Xiao Zhan gave a stiff smile, clenched his fists, barely suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said calmly:

"Don't listen to the wind, it will be rain. I guess the director has other tasks to assign. Let's just wait patiently."

I don't know whether his words were meant to comfort Du Han or to comfort himself.

Xiao Zhan is not a graduate of a prestigious university. He also entered Maochuan Economics through the back door.

After working diligently for three years, I finally managed to move from being a field boy serving tea and water to the position of assistant director.

I thought that "Lao Zhou Watching Movies", an entertainment program only available at 10 o'clock late at night on weekends, would not be missed by anyone else. It was a natural thing for him to take over. Who knew that something would happen again at this juncture?

Maochuan TV is a little-known local TV station, and the ratings of "Lao Zhou Watching Movies" are appallingly low.

It has never been axed, mainly because the host is an old man in the station, and there are a group of old fans who love watching movies. In addition, the capable directors at this time did not like it, so it was shelved.

Now that the host Lao Zhou has retired at an old age, the main director has also found opportunities to switch jobs to other TV stations.

Xiao Zhan has finally made it through, and he can show off his talents when he gets the chance.

Privately, he had already started researching related programs at the same time.

I also put a lot of thought into planning and writing, just to make it a blockbuster.

But before he had time to come forward, news came out from the station that an airborne soldier was coming to take over the production of "Old Zhou Watching Movies".

When Xiao Zhan heard the wind, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured down his head, chilling his heart.

He is arrogant at heart and loves reading and practicing calligraphy in his spare time. He thinks he is talented, but he just lacks an opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, he secretly made up his mind that no matter what the situation, he would fight for himself once.

He attaches great importance to interpersonal communication and is usually warm and generous.

He got along well with his colleagues in the station, but he didn't believe that the one who landed in the air could outdo him in the station in a short while.

He picked up his phone and checked the messages in the work group. He didn't miss any important messages.

As soon as I put the phone down, I saw the door of the conference room being pushed open.

Station director Jiang Mingli walked in with a smile.

He was in his forties, already bald, and had a big belly as if he were six or seven months pregnant.

Although his face was slightly happy, his smile was still a little greasy.

He didn't come in alone, he was followed by the deputy director and a strange girl.

The TV station is too small, and the employees are all acquaintances. It is naturally strange to see unfamiliar faces suddenly.

Sui Anli, who was following the director, had a well-placed smile on her face and remained unmoved as everyone looked at her.

She was wearing a simple white shirt with a camel A-line skirt. The long black dress was draped behind her and she had a curvy figure.

She wore light makeup on her face, and it was obvious that her facial features were either salty or sweet, and she was even better than the most beautiful female host on the stage.

Jiang Mingli smiled warmly. He was used to having no airs. As soon as he entered the conference room, he said:

"Everyone has seen it, the person standing next to me is Sui Anli, the top student newly recruited by our TV station.

She graduated from Yanjing University of Communication with a double master's degree. With her joining, I believe that our Maochuan Economics and Television will be able to reach a higher level. We warmly welcome the newcomers!"

After Jiang Mingli finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding, and everyone was a little surprised.

You must know that top students from Yanjing Media are very popular wherever they go.

They all couldn't understand why she came to a remote place like Maochuan.

After the sparse applause stopped, Sui Anli stepped forward and greeted everyone humbly. She smiled lightly and said:

"Hello everyone! My name is Sui Anli. I just graduated in June. I am very happy to work with you. If there is anything I can't do well, please give me some advice!"

She speaks crisply and neatly, and she is confident and calm without any stage fright. You can tell at a glance that she is not simple.

Jiang Mingli greeted Sui Anli to sit down with a smile and glanced around.

When I arrived at Xiao Zhan's side, I paused for a moment.

Although the time was short, Xiao Zhan still felt it keenly and suddenly became a little nervous.

Jiang Mingli had no intention of betraying him. Seeing that everyone was seated, he continued to speak:

"In addition to introducing new colleagues, I have gathered everyone together this time to discuss with you the issue of the succession of the column "Lao Zhou Watches Movies"."

When he said this, everyone knew that the main event was coming.

Although Jiang Mingli doesn't put on airs, he knows everything well and is very good at speaking in situations.

He first affirmed Xiao Zhan's work in the past few years, and then changed the topic and said:

"Although Xiao Zhan works hard and has learned a lot of skills from Lao Zhang, he has never taken on the leading role alone. I don't feel safe if he takes over rashly."

As soon as Jiang Mingli said these words, Xiao Zhan understood what he meant and felt a chill in his heart. Even his colleagues looked at him with some sympathy.

Seeing that he could hold his own and not jump in a hurry, Jiang Mingli gave him a high look.

Xiao Zhan didn't say anything, but Du Han's firecracker temper was intolerable. The two had similar personalities and had a good friendship in private, so they couldn't help but say:

"Director, you are being unreasonable. Although Xiao Zhan has never held a major position, he has rich practical experience and was taught by Director Zhang. These are not comparable to top students without practical experience. He should be ranked first in terms of seniority.

Just come and take over."

After finishing his words, he glanced at Sui Anli in an unconvinced and provocative way.

Sui Anli lowered his eyelids indifferently, not paying attention to him at all.

Jiang Mingli was not affected at all. He took a sip of tea slowly, put down the tea cup and said slowly:

"Xiao Du, in our industry, what we look at is the ratings, and what we compete for is true ability. This method of ranking based on seniority is not easy to use."

Although his words were sharp, they were not lies.

Du Han was unconvinced and said: "Does this young girl who just graduated have real skills? Are all the graduates of Yanjing Media a talented person?"

Xiao Zhan saw that he was speaking too aggressively and was afraid of hurting himself, so he quickly stood up and held him back. He could not offend anyone before the matter was settled.

"Forgive me, Director. Du Han has a good relationship with me. He knows that I have suffered a lot in private and am a little emotional. Don't mind."

Although Jiang Mingli has a lot of heart, he doesn't let others act recklessly. He said with a smile:

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious? Everyone, please sit down."

His words were neither light nor serious, and they actually made Du Han calm down, and he followed Xiao Zhan's force and sat down.

Jiang Mingli continued:

""Lao Zhou Watching Movies" will officially end at the end of next month. I alone can decide who should be given this time slot. I will give you a week to prepare. Then we will hold a movie viewing party here and invite all the columnists.

The director and deputy director come to vote, and the person with the highest vote gets the right to pilot the show for three months."

This arrangement is fair and no one can fault it.

Xiao Zhan glanced at Sui Anli subconsciously, and saw that her face was expressionless and he couldn't tell the difference.

He was the first to express his position:

"Don't worry, Director, I will do my best to produce excellent works and I will never let you down."

Sui Anli had been listening patiently without speaking. After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, she asked calmly:

"Director, will there be a theme for this film viewing? How much will the funding be? Are there any restrictions on staff scheduling?"

Jiang Mingli's eyes showed appreciation and he said gently:

"Food is the most important thing for the people, so you should use food as the theme. The funding is 100,000 yuan, no matter how much it is, you can't come up with it. You can select the team members in the station, and I will notify everyone to cooperate fully."

Sui Anli nodded. She had a plan in mind and began to think about the plan.

Xiao Zhan felt inferior in comparison, but then he thought that he had been in Taiwan for three years and was familiar with everyone's situation.

My relationship with everyone is better than that of the newcomer, so I obviously have a better chance of winning, but I don’t care too much about it.

The person sitting next to Sui Anli happened to be the director Sister Lan. She was an old man on the stage, and she had noticed Sui Anli's performance just now.

After the director left, she came over and asked with a smile:

"Xiao Sui, your skin is so good. You can squeeze out water just by looking at it. How old are you this year?"

Sui Anli was stunned, a little uncomfortable with her familiarity, but still said politely:

"I am twenty-five years old this year. I don't know what to call you?"

Sister Lan exclaimed exaggeratedly:

"Oh~ It's amazing that you graduated with a master's degree at such a young age. Just call me Sister Lan. I just like to see beautiful girls. You are not familiar with the environment. Let me introduce you to my colleagues in our TV station.

Come on."

Although Sui Anli was not very warm to others, he could not resist Sister Lan's enthusiasm.

Let her introduce her colleagues one by one, and wait until she has introduced Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan said with a kind smile:

"Although we compete, we are also colleagues. I hope we can discuss and communicate more when we have time. After all, you are a top student in a prestigious school. You must know more than me, but please don't hide your secrets."

Sui Anli didn't like to put his thoughts on unimportant people, and he didn't care if there was something in his words. He just nodded to him coldly.

Then she walked outside the conference room. Although Sister Lan mentioned a lot of information about her colleagues, she still had to understand their true level first, and then she could do follow-up work only when the group members gathered together.

Du Han watched all Sui Anli's reactions and said with disdain:

"Brother Xiao, you shouldn't show kindness to her. Look at how arrogant she is. No one in our station is willing to cooperate with her."

Xiao Zhan smiled inexplicably, patted Du Han on the shoulder, and said magnanimously:
Chapter completed!
