Chapter 17 Sitting and Waiting for Death

Can Qi Jianyue accept being overshadowed by Yu Li?

Of course I'm not willing to accept this!

She and Yu Li joined Blue Sky TV in the same year. Both graduated from prestigious universities and won various hosting awards while in school, and were also scholarship recipients every year.

Therefore, from the moment she entered the station, Qi Jianyue and Yu Li were compared side by side.

However, in terms of professional ability, Qi Jianyue is always outshone by Yu Li.

Fortunately, the Qi family was powerful and influential. With the help of the Qi family's name, Qi Jianyue usually brought in a lot of investment for the station, so the two were considered to be on par in terms of power.

Furthermore, because she can attract investment, she can earn more money for the station, and the higher-ups will be more inclined to favor her.

But if Yu Li were to actually conduct an exclusive interview with Qi Chenyan, the moment Qi Chenyan interviewed on this topic for the first time, it would instantly ignite the internet.

At that time, the distance between her and Yu Li will be completely widened!

Qi Jianyue turned and went to find Ma Jiande.

"Brother De, if Yu Li really succeeds in getting a special talk with Qi Chenyan, with Qi Chenyan's reputation, it will definitely be a huge boost to Xu Hui's side. I can accept it, but Brother De, you will be overshadowed by Xu Hui, which is really dangerous!"

Ma Jiande's face was grim. "Who would have thought that Yu Li could actually win over Qi Chenyan? What kind of status does Qi Chenyan have? Even our chairman has to go to great lengths to find connections, and he still can't reach that level."

"What methods did Yu Li use to get in touch with Qi Chenyan? If you, Jianyue, had such abilities, I could save myself a lot of trouble!"

Although Yu Li is quite pretty, she is far from being stunningly beautiful.

Qi Jianyue didn't believe the claim that he had climbed into her bed.

Who is Qi Chenyan? Countless women have fallen for him, but he doesn't even look at them, let alone a small-time news anchor with no background or power.

But when Ma Jiande bluntly said that he was not as good as Yu Li, Qi Jianyue could not swallow her anger.

“I underestimated them this time, but Brother De, we can’t just sit here and wait to die. We still have a chance.”

Ma Jiande: "What opportunity?"

"Didn't Qi Chenyan's secretary say that he would inform the station once the interview time was set?"

"Given Qi Chenyan's status, even if Yu Li managed to get a private talk with him, she probably wouldn't have the chance to meet him. She must have pulled some strings to get that opportunity."

Qi Jianyue said with great certainty, "When that day comes, if Yu Li can't come, I'll step in. In the end, won't this project become ours?"

This method is very dangerous. Ma Jiande hesitated: "What if Qi Chenyan has met Yu Li and suddenly replaces you with her, angering him? Not only you, but our entire station will be in deep trouble!"

"Don't worry about that. To be honest, Director Qi and I are related by marriage. Although we haven't met often, we have exchanged a few words. He knows me."

"So compared to Yu Li, who is an outsider, I think if I take her place, Director Qi will be happier, feeling that our station is more sincere."

Compared to Yu Li, an outsider, Qi Jianyue was still very confident in being a niece, even though they were not related by blood.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jiande's eyes lit up immediately, his previous gloom vanishing.

"You and Director Qi are actually relatives? If you had that relationship, why didn't you say so earlier? I should have told the director directly during the meeting."

"Compared to Yu Li, an outsider, it's definitely better for you, as a relative, to conduct the interview and understand Director Qi's temperament better."

Qi Jianyue: "But this column was proposed by Yu Li first. If you openly take over the project at the meeting, Xu Hui will definitely make a scene."

"Besides, if they become wary, it won't be good for us. It would be better if we acted secretly on that day. What do you think?"

Of course, Ma Jiande only dared to talk about it.

It is said that women and petty people are the only ones one should not provoke.

Xu Hui is a well-known iron lady in the station. If you cross her, she won't give you any face, not even if you're a leader.

Ma Jiande naturally wouldn't dare to openly snatch the program from her.

He said in a serious tone, "You can handle this yourself. I'll back you up no matter what, but you absolutely mustn't let the news leak out."

Qi Jianyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Yu Li followed Xu Hui into the office. When they came out of the conference room, Xu Hui couldn't stop smiling.

"Xiao Yu, I didn't expect you to actually win over Qi Chenyan. Do you know how hard I had to hold back my laughter at the meeting just now, seeing the faces of Ma Jiande and his gang?"

As she spoke, Xu Hui patted her shoulder with satisfaction, "I knew it, I didn't misjudge you, your potential has no limits!"

"But I'm also a little curious, how did you win over Qi Chenyan? Actually, we've wanted to invite him for a column interview before."

"Even the board members personally stepped in to smooth things over, but were directly rejected by the secretariat, which said that Director Qi was too busy with official duties to accept any form of personal interview."

"You're quite capable to get Director Qi to change his mind!"

Yu Li smiled and said, "Perhaps this is what it means to exchange sincerity for sincerity. Director Qi was moved by my sincerity, so he was willing to agree. No matter what the process is, as long as the result is what we want, isn't that enough?"

Xu Hui responded quickly, "Look, I was worried you wouldn't be able to win over Qi Chenyan, so I prepared several backup options for you in advance, but now you don't need them."

"Have you finalized the interview content? Once you've decided on the content, bring it over for me to review. After all, Qi Chenyan's identity is not simple, and there are some sensitive topics you can't ask, understand?"

Yu Li wasn't worried about that, because she planned to give the interview content to Qi Chenyan for his personal review after she finished writing it down.

If he himself has no problems after reviewing it, then there's naturally no need to worry about any subsequent issues.

Soon, the board of directors also learned about the deal with Qi Chenyan.

Xu Hui attended the shareholders' meeting for the first time. The chairman praised Xu Hui for her effective management and for securing Qi Chenyan's first interview, saying that she had brought great honor to the station.

That day, Xu Hui's neck was held very high.

When Yu Li got home from get off work, she told Qi Xi about what had happened during the day.

Qi Xi laughed so hard she bent over.

"That was so satisfying! This slap in the face was so exhilarating!"

"Honey, you should have recorded it. I really want to see Qi Jianyue and the others' embarrassed faces, and I can even make them into memes!"

After laughing, Qi Xi said in surprise, "But speaking of which, Lili, you're really capable! Even I only dare to use a sack to put my uncle in, how did you manage to get someone to help me?"

Yu Li twitched her lips.

Compared to her, isn't Qi Xi, who thought of using a sack to trap Qi Chenyan and bring him to record the show, even more skilled and daring?

Yu Li coughed lightly: "That's all thanks to my cheap husband. You'll know when I introduce you two."
