Chapter 42 Challenging the Limits

"So, in that case, Yu Li is the most amazing. So many top-notch reporters couldn't win over Director Qi, but Yu Li succeeded. Could it be that Yu Li... you're Director Qi's girlfriend?"

After all, Yu Li was trapped in the storeroom that day, and Qi Chenyan refused to let anyone take her place, and even went to find someone himself.

Moreover, it is said that when they found her, Yu Li threw herself into Qi Chenyan's arms, and Qi Chenyan did not push her away.

The chairman was at the front at the time, and the others didn't see it clearly. However, the station has been secretly spreading this story for the past few days.

A seemingly joking remark drew everyone's attention to her.

If this had happened before today, Yu Li might have blushed a little, feeling a bit guilty.

But Tan Mo's words kept replaying in her mind.

Tan Mo asked Qi Chenyan if he had fallen in love with her, although Yu Li already knew the answer.

But Qi Chenyan's silence was tantamount to confirming Tan Mo's question.

For some reason, Yu Li felt depressed and lost, unable to muster any energy.

So much so that while her colleagues were discussing it, Yu Li was lost in thought about that sentence.

After being asked by her colleagues, she came to her senses.

"Of course not. Director Qi was moved by my sincerity. You must believe that in this world, only sincerity can defeat sincerity. Trust me."

Everyone: "..."

I don't believe you for a second.

However, everyone quickly started talking about how the interview would definitely cause a huge uproar online after it aired tomorrow.

Although Qi Chenyan is not a celebrity, his influence is comparable to that of a top star.

Especially those fans online who are drawn to her looks; they'll come running just by the scent.

"Yu Li, which photo do you think is better for the promotion?"

“I think this one is good. This is a photo of Director Qi when he became famous. Using his back view for publicity should make many netizens recognize him.”

"But I think this is a bit too obvious. It's better to use this one. Besides, I think this back view photo looks a bit like Zhou Heran. Trying to piggyback on the popularity of a top celebrity can bring its own traffic."

"After all, this is a new program. Unless we release the materials directly, no one will dare to guess that it is Director Qi."

However, this suggestion to stage an accident was met with opposition from several other people as soon as it was put forward.

"Are you crazy? How dare you try to take advantage of Zhou Heran? Don't you know how popular the Boom band is? Anyone who tried to take advantage of Zhou Heran online before was torn apart by his fans. They suffered terribly."

"I don't think so. Didn't Zhou Heran say in an interview before that he admired Director Qi?"

Upon hearing Zhou Heran's name, Yu Li's ears twitched.

"Then let's use this one that looks more like Zhou Heran's back view. It just so happens that I plan to invite Zhou Heran to the next episode, so it's a double entendre."

After these words, the conference room fell silent for several seconds, and everyone looked at Yu Li with a "you must be crazy" expression.

Yu Li touched her face. "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No, I'm just amazed at how much you push the limits, Yu Li. First it was Director Qi, then Zhou Heran. Why do you always try to invite such important figures who are almost impossible to invite?"

Unlike Qi Chenyan, Zhou Heran is a true star. The band Boom has been around for almost ten years, and Zhou Heran became an overnight sensation when he debuted at the age of seventeen.

Whether it's her singing skills or her character, she has never been involved in any scandals in the past ten years and has always been dedicated to her singing career.

His fan base is terrifyingly large.

If there's even the slightest thing about him online, his fans will react immediately, tearing him to shreds.

Although Zhou Heran has participated in talk shows before, it has been several years since his last interview.

His team has very strict quality control over advertisements, interviews, and other programs.

Just then, an untimely voice rang out from outside the door: "You don't really think you've gotten lucky and managed to invite Director Qi, and now you're all high and mighty, thinking you can invite just anyone, do you?"

Yu Li looked up and saw that it was Qi Jianyue's follower.

It's true that you can find this rotten apple everywhere.

"I didn't say I could definitely invite them, I just have this contingency plan. Just because it's difficult, are we afraid to even mention the contingency plan?"

"It's no wonder that some people can only stay in the same place and never have room to rise."

The follower blushed immediately, but she couldn't refute it.

Because she had been with the station longer than Yu Li, but Yu Li had already become an anchor while she was still an assistant anchor.

Furthermore, Yu Li's interview this time has done a great service to the station, and she has the right to boast about it, but her follower doesn't even have the confidence to refute it.

"Let's see how long you can keep laughing. You'll be proven wrong eventually!"

The follower refused to believe it. Just because she was lucky once, did Yu Li think she could be lucky every day?

Yu Li ignored the person and continued with her work.

Once everything was mostly arranged, it was time for lunch.

Unlike Yu Li, who was surrounded by many people while eating, Qi Jianyue's side appeared quite empty.

Because everyone knows that ever since the last time the police were called, the police have been investigating Qi Jianyue and the people around her, especially Ma Jiande and his henchmen.

Although there is no conclusion yet, everyone is saying in private that Qi Jianyue and Ma Jiande are jealous that Yu Li got the exclusive interview with Qi Chenyan.

So they conspired to trap Yu Li in the storage room. If Qi Chenyan hadn't insisted that only Yu Li could interview her, Qi Jianyue's conspiracy would probably have succeeded that day.

The henchman sat opposite Qi Jianyue and said aggressively, "What are you looking at?"

The crowd looked away, but whispered amongst themselves.

The henchman was furious: "Jianyue, the station is full of opportunists, don't take their words to heart."

But the henchman was still a little worried and asked in a low voice, "The police came to check me yesterday, Jian Yue. Do you think the police will really find out what we did that day?"

"No, there are no surveillance cameras there. Even if the police investigate thoroughly, they won't find anything. Don't panic."

Seeing Qi Jianyue so calm, the follower felt a little more at ease.

But just as he finished speaking, several policemen arrived at the cafeteria.

"Are you Cao Wen? This is an arrest warrant. You are involved in a murder case. Come with us now."

The police came up to the henchman and presented her with an arrest warrant, which terrified her so much that her legs went weak and she couldn't stand up at all.

"Is there some misunderstanding? I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken normally, how could I possibly harm someone else?"

But the police handcuffed the henchman's hands, saying, "We've taken your fingerprints from the tape recorder. If you have anything to say, go to the police station."
