Chapter 143 Indignation

Yu Li scoffed: "I really don't know what's so proud of that person who got a program taken down after being criticized by netizens for plagiarism, but then used connections to get the deputy director position."

"Is he proud that he's accomplished nothing, is utterly useless, and can only rely on back channels to demonstrate his powerful connections?"

As she spoke, Yu Li made a fist-and-palm gesture, "In this respect, I am truly ashamed of myself. After all, you may be shameless, but I still have my pride."

One of my colleagues couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"you!"

Qi Jianyue was furious and embarrassed, but she couldn't argue with Yu Li, so she could only glare fiercely at her colleagues who had just laughed, "What are you laughing at? Did you actually believe Yu Li's nonsense?"

"I speak with absolute strength. If you think I'm wrong, then show me your achievements to refute me. Why bother attacking innocent people?"

Qi Jianyue slammed her hand on the table in anger, “Yu Li, if you dare to spread rumors about me again, I am now the deputy director, and you are just an ordinary host. I have the right to fire you!”

Yu Li exclaimed "Wow!" and clutched her chest, saying, "You're scaring me! I didn't know Deputy Director Qi had so much power. Fine, I'll wait for you to fire me."

"Don't just talk the talk without walking the walk. Just like your professional skills, you can talk a lot of nonsense, but in the end, you rely on plagiarism to attract attention and gain traffic. If all else fails, just do what you usually like to do."

"Aren't you the most skilled at hiring marketing accounts behind my back to fabricate dirt on me online to smear me?"

The fact that Yu Li was attacked online even triggered a national-level internet cleanup campaign, which is common knowledge.

Although the official statement eventually came out that the person who hired the marketing account was an ordinary man, the employees inside Blue Sky TV all felt that there was something fishy about the final investigation results.

Because anyone on the inside could see that this was definitely related to Qi Jianyue.

After all, everyone in the station knows that Yu Li and Qi Jianyue have been mortal enemies who can't stand each other since the first day they arrived.

The competition for the position of deputy director has now reached a fever pitch. Only Qi Jianyue would be so unwilling to see Yu Lihao and prevent "Celebrity Interview" from airing smoothly.

No one expected that Yu Li would be so direct, bringing into the open what others only dared to talk about in private.

He used sarcastic remarks to embarrass Qi Jianyue.

"Yu Li, I'm warning you, don't go too far!"

Yu Li shrugged, "Go ahead and hit me if you dare, you green tea bitch who only knows how to play the victim."

"I...I'll tear your mouth apart—"

Just as Qi Jianyue was about to step over the desk and bar her teeth and claws to fight Yu Li, and everyone hurriedly stopped her, the scene was about to get out of control when the director finally arrived.

"What's all the noise about? What kind of behavior is this? Quiet down!"

Upon seeing the director arrive, Qi Jianyue immediately complained, feeling wronged: "Director, I know I'm young, and compared to many seniors who have been in the station for decades, I lack experience. It's inevitable that some people will disagree with me."

"But I never expected Yu Li to make such accusations against me. If this gets out, how am I supposed to stay at the station?"

The director coughed lightly: "Yu Li, we're all colleagues. I know you're resentful because you missed out on the deputy director position."

"But this is a decision made by the higher-ups after comprehensive consideration. Not only you, but everyone in the station must unconditionally obey any arrangements made by the station."

"Alright, everyone sit down. I have another work arrangement to announce."

One is the station's most capable host, and the other is a wealthy heiress with powerful connections. Naturally, the director had to smooth things over.

Qi Jianyue calmed down and instead gave Yu Li a meaningful smile with her arms crossed.

"Currently, the best program produced by the station is 'Celebrity Interview,' which has broken viewership records continuously. Therefore, the senior management just held a meeting and decided to focus on supporting the 'Celebrity Interview' project."

"In order to keep the program fresh, the executives decided to adopt a dual-host approach for innovation, with Yu Li and Qi Jianyue working together."

"For example, if Yu Li is the host this week, then Jian Yue will be the host next week. Different hosts will have different styles and can constantly bring freshness to the audience."

The program originally belonged to Yu Li; she created it and followed up on it from start to finish.

Now that we've achieved record-breaking results, we turn around and ask others to share in the success under the guise of "new faces and innovation." How is that any different from outright robbery?

It's obvious that the so-called innovative programs and the rotating hosting are just a way for Qi Jianyue's backers to create buzz and boost her fame by having her appear on the currently most popular program, "Celebrity Interviews."

Simply put, they're using Yu Li's show to pave the way for Qi Jianyue.

After all, everyone in the station witnessed how she rose to the position of deputy director.

In reality, no one respected her; it was just that since it was a decision made directly by higher-ups, no one dared to openly refute it.

Even though Qi Jianyue got the position of deputy director through back channels, she had neither achievements nor ability. Although her subordinates dared not oppose her openly, they would still disobey her.

Therefore, in order to help her secure the position of deputy director more quickly and effectively, starting with the most popular programs and giving her a prestigious resume is the fastest way.

Yu Li almost burst out laughing.

Before she could speak first, Xu Hui couldn't hold back any longer and slammed her hand on the table, saying, "Don't push your luck! It's one thing for you to let Qi Jianyue sit in the position of deputy director."

"Now they don't even bother to pretend anymore. What about program innovation? What about rotating hosts every two weeks? Why don't you just take 'Celebrity Interview' away?"

Everyone knew the truth, and they were all indignant on Yu Li's behalf.

But only someone of Xu Hui's stature would dare to question this.

Xu Hui's willingness to speak out in this way shows she has considerable courage.

After all, this was a decision made by the higher-ups. Xu Hui's voice of protest for Yu Liming was essentially questioning the decision made by the higher-ups, and it was also a gamble with her own career.

The director's face darkened. "Xu Hui, do you know what you're saying? This is a decision made by the higher-ups, a decision made for the better future of the entire Blue Sky organization. How can others be allowed to question it? Do you want to quit your job?"

Enraged, Xu Hui blurted out, "If you don't want to do it, then..."

But before she could finish speaking, Yu Li stopped her and shook her head at her.

Then he slowly spoke: "Since it is a decision made by the station, it must have been made after careful consideration. I accept the station's arrangement."
