Chapter 113: Ridicule

A pleased look appeared in Liu Chengren’s eyes at the sight of the three intern anchorwomen ignoring Zhang Yijun.

Both Zhang Yijun and Zhang Yijun had graduated from the same cohort of Directing majors from the National Film Academy. When they were in the academy, Zhang Yijun was better than him in every aspect. However, Zhang Yijun was not tactful enough. Liu Chengren formed a network and built his connections, bribing people everywhere after they went into the workforce. Eventually, he poached the entire team that used to work with Zhang Yijun, so they ended up working for him instead.

Now, he was the most popular director in the broadcasting company while Zhang Yijun was facing the risk of being fired and losing his job.

He felt a deep sense of satisfaction seeing his rival left with nothing.

Liu Chengren walked in front of Zhang Yijun and patted his shoulders. “Director Zhang, you actually didn’t have to come over. The four intern hosts will probably all choose my show.”

The way he said his words was as if he felt sorry for Zhang Yijun.

“But… It’s a pity I only need three intern hosts.” Liu Chengren smiled with pretentious sympathy. “So I suppose that’s okay. The one that I don’t choose will naturally go and intern for you.”

Zhang Yijun’s expression darkened slightly.

This Liu Chengren kept looking down on him the moment his show went viral. He would use any chance he could get to taunt and scoff at him.

One year ago, Liu Chengren poached his team and stole his proposal when he was at his lowest point.

Zhang Yijun almost committed suicide because of that incident. Although he was better now, his career was still at its lowest. This was his last chance.

Zhang Yijun looked at the three girls who had all of their attention on Liu Chengren. He thought that Liu Chengren was right, the four newly-hired girls would probably choose the outrageously popular ‘Dreams Come True’.

Nan Yao, Yu Xiaoting and Zhuang Jingjing submitted their proposals separately after Liu Chengren and Zhang Yijun sat down.

Liu Chengren thought that their proposals were merely alright, they were nothing special. He wanted to see the last girl’s proposal. It was only then that he realized that the final girl was not in the meeting room.

Zhang Jingjing noticed Liu Chengren’s confusion and she immediately stood up to explain coyly, “Director Liu, there’s one more girl called Nan Zhi. She probably isn’t interested in your show as she left the room right after Chief Han left after telling us to wait for you.”

“Nan Yao, Yu Xiaoting and I prepared our proposals very seriously. However, Nan Zhi felt that your show already has Lin Wanyue, and she couldn’t possibly overshadow Lin Wanyue, even if she went to your show…”

Liu Chengren slammed the table hard. He had an unhappy expression. “She wants to overshadow Lin Wanyue even though she’s just entered the broadcasting company? This little girl is too ambitious.”

Liu Chengren chose Nan Yao, Yu Xiaoting and Zhuang Jingjing immediately. As for that over-ambitious girl, she would be eliminated together with Zhang Yijun! She had no place on his show and he would see that she never got the chance in the future.

Zhang Yijun’s show would soon be over since they could not even attract large brands to sponsor them!

After Nan Yao, Yu Xiaoting and Zhuang Jingjing left the meeting room, Liu Chengren was waiting to leave as well. He glanced at Zhang Yijun before he left. “Director Zhang, it’s not that I’m not helping you, but you know that I don’t like overly-conceited people who think they are better than others, merely because they have a little bit of talent. I think that young lady’s personality is rather similar to your’s, Director Zhang! You only realized you were nothing after you’ve fallen from grace. It’s only fitting that she joins you.”

A refreshing and pleasant voice trailed over before Liu Chengren could finish speaking. “I’m sorry that I’m late.”

Nan Zhi bowed deeply before she looked up.

Liu Chengren’s eyes lit up when he got a clear look at Nan Zhi’s appearance.

This young lady was actually prettier than the previous three.
