Chapter 203 Cancellation of Quota
Jiang Yichen slowly picked up the intercom and pressed the button gently. A cold voice came through the receiver: "Ask Lao Mo to come to my office immediately."
I stood there, staring at him angrily with eyes as sharp as torches, as if I wanted to pierce him through.
Soon, Lao Mo hurried into the room.
Jiang Yichen announced in front of me without mercy: "Cancel Gu Mo's spot in the comprehensive anchor show this time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.
Lao Mo keenly noticed that my face had turned livid, and Jiang Yichen's attitude was so tough. For a moment, he was in a dilemma and could only try his best to persuade him: "Mr. Jiang, if we cancel it rashly at this moment, it may have a negative impact on the company's reputation. Moreover, Gu Mo's popularity is very high at present. This move will undoubtedly have a great negative impact on us, especially on the fans. It is really difficult for us to suppress it."
Jiang Yichen did not hesitate and responded coldly: "I remember that Xiao Tiantian has a considerable number of fans, or even more. If you really need a replacement, let Xiao Tiantian take over."
Hearing this, Lao Mo couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead. Although he was full of helplessness, he could only agree: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
After he left, I glared at Jiang Yichen fiercely with my eyes wide open, and cursed with gnashing teeth: "Jiang Yichen, you are simply a fascist and hegemonic!"
After saying that, I turned around and tried to leave, but he suddenly grabbed me and held me tightly in his arms.
He pinched my chin hard, his tone as cold as ice: "You must listen to me obediently, otherwise, I don't mind taking some extraordinary measures."
These words were like a chilling cold wind, which made me feel a deep chill in my heart.
I struggled hard for a few times, but found myself as if I was tightly clamped by an iron clamp and could not break free from Jiang Yichen's restraints at all.
So I could only open my eyes wide and stare at him fiercely, trying to convey my anger and dissatisfaction with my eyes.
Just then, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and my heart beat faster.
I put my hands on Jiang Yichen's chest and reminded him in a low and urgent voice: "Someone is coming."
Jiang Yichen seemed to ignore me and still held me tightly, unwilling to let go.
Then, the office door was suddenly pushed open and a figure flashed in.
I caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye and saw Lin Nan, who was standing at the door, stepping on Jiang Yichen mercilessly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I finally broke free from Jiang Yichen's restraints and subconsciously took a step back, trying to distance myself from him.
Because I was too flustered, my feet slipped, I staggered and almost fell.
Jiang Yichen was quick to act and immediately put his arm around my waist, asking anxiously, "Is anything wrong?"
I glanced at Lin Nan with embarrassment, and noticed that his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yichen's hand that was still around my waist. I quickly pushed Jiang Yichen away, forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I'm fine."
In the eyes of Lin Nan, the wife of the man, I was always a person who could not stand up to the standard. Moreover, our ambiguous actions would undoubtedly cause her misunderstanding. I knew this very well, and I could not help but feel guilty and uneasy.
I turned to Lin Nan and quickly found an excuse to escape this embarrassing situation: "I still have to do the live broadcast, so I'm leaving first." After saying that, I hurriedly left the office with mixed feelings.
I clearly wanted to explain all of this to Lin Nan, but I didn't know where to start.
I know that my explanation at this moment will only seem pale and powerless and will not be able to dispel the doubts in her heart.
I could only leave this embarrassing place in a hurry with a heart full of guilt and uneasiness.
Lin Nan and Jiang Yichen watched Gu Mo leave in a hurry. Lin Nan frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Why are you arguing again?"
Jiang Yichen gently pinched his forehead, a trace of fatigue appeared on his face, and he sighed: "You women's minds are really hard to figure out."
Hearing this, Lin Nan quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, don't count me in. I'm not that kind of person."
Then, Lin Nan took out a document from his hand and put it on the table, his expression became serious: "This is the latest statistics of the comprehensive anchor show. You see, Gu Mo's appeal is very high, and she has also brought a lot of benefits to the company. I just heard Lao Mo say that you want to replace her. Can you tell me why?"
Jiang Yichen remained silent, just staring quietly at the documents on the table.
Lin Nan knew very well that Jiang Yichen was not a man who acted on impulse, but in front of Gu Mo, he always lost his usual calmness and sense of propriety.
She couldn't help but secretly speculate in her heart that there must be a reason behind this.
Seeing that Jiang Yichen remained silent, Lin Nan asked jokingly, "You didn't really suspect that there was something going on between them because of Zhao Ning's incident, and that's why you didn't let Gu Mo attend, did you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yichen looked up at Lin Nan, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Am I such a stingy person?"
Lin Nan nodded deliberately and said thoughtfully: "Apart from this reason, I can't think of any other reason."
After careful consideration, Jiang Yichen finally told Lin Nan that Gu Mo was pregnant.
After hearing this, Lin Nan spread his hands helplessly and said earnestly, "There's nothing wrong with what you did, but the key is that you ignored her mood and thoughts. You should discuss it with her before making a decision, especially since she's pregnant and has a changeable temperament. It's easy for her to have some bad thoughts and feelings. You have to pay attention, the period before and after childbirth is the peak period for depression."
Jiang Yichen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "You seem to understand this very well."
Lin Nan smiled lightly and retorted, "Come on, I'm a woman too, and women naturally understand women. Well, I won't chat with you anymore, there's still a lot of work waiting for me, I'll go first."
After saying that, Lin Nan stood up and left the office gracefully.
Jiang Yichen fell into deep thought. Lin Nan's words were like a heavy hammer that hit his heart hard, forcing him to re-examine his decision.
On the other side, I angrily returned to my live broadcast room and slammed the door. Xiao Tiantian and Lao Mo saw this and hurried over.
Lao Mo asked in confusion, "How did you provoke Mr. Jiang again? He looks even angrier this time than last time."
Before I could answer, Xiao Tiantian couldn't wait to ask: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly get replaced by someone else to participate in the comprehensive anchor show? Wasn't it agreed that you would go before?"
I sighed helplessly and told Xiao Tiantian the whole story: "Jiang Yichen didn't let me participate, but I really want to fight for this opportunity."
