Chapter 196 His Handiwork
The director panicked and tried to defend himself: "That's not how it is, General Manager. It was Ren Qingxue who deceived me. She spoke in great detail, and even brought up Yu Li, saying she was from the Qi family..."
Before the director could finish speaking, Qi Xi interrupted him directly: "You believe everything others say? As a journalist, don't you even have the most basic ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood?"
"From any perspective, I have to question your professional competence and ability to handle emergencies. With such unprofessional abilities, how can you sit in the position of managing the entire news department?"
"This is worrying. It raises concerns about the future development of Lantian. After all, as a television station, Lantian's main focus is news. If even the news director is unprofessional, how can the entire television station thrive?"
After laying the groundwork, Qi Xi issued the personnel transfer order: "However, considering that you have been with Lantian for more than ten years and have worked hard even if you haven't made any great contributions, Lantian will dismiss you and give you appropriate severance pay."
The director couldn't sit still any longer and shouted, "Why are you firing me? Just because an intern made a mistake? I've been with Lantian for over ten years, and I've climbed up step by step through my own abilities."
"Besides, interns aren't considered full-time employees. If they make mistakes or lack ability, we can just fire them. It won't have much of an impact on Lantian."
"Why should I be fired for this? I refuse to accept it!"
Faced with the director's questioning, Qi Xi was not angry. Instead, she calmly said, "Ren Qingxue was someone you put in through connections, and now she's being investigated by the police because of a piece of chocolate."
“No matter what the final investigation results are, she is responsible. The child is still in the ICU, and the subsequent treatment costs will inevitably be high. You can stay, but as long as you remain at Blue Sky, then you alone must clean up the mess caused by Ren Qingxue.”
"To put it simply, Ren Qingxue is responsible for these medical expenses, and you can't escape them either. Of course, if you choose to accept the dismissal, you can not only take the compensation, but also completely sever ties with Ren Qingxue."
"After all, you are no longer with Blue Sky, so you are no longer responsible for the interns who come from Blue Sky. Don't worry, Blue Sky won't force you. The choice is yours."
If they weren't still in a meeting, Yu Li would have rushed up and given her best friend a big kiss.
That move was absolutely brilliant.
The director has been with Lantian for over a decade. If he were to be dismissed simply because of an intern, it would inevitably cause the director to become resentful and cause trouble.
For a television station, if its internal staff causes trouble, it becomes a scandal.
But if the director refuses to leave, that's fine too. Since he's the one who recruited Ren Qingxue, Lan Tian can completely shift the blame onto him.
Ren Qingxue can't escape responsibility, and she also has to pay for the child's medical expenses. As the person in charge, the director naturally has to bear a corresponding share as well.
So, whether to stay and bear the high medical expenses, or to leave with the compensation, anyone with a brain knows how to choose.
It's quite obvious that Qianqian's medical expenses are a bottomless pit.
After all, heart disease cannot be cured except through a heart transplant.
The price of a heart is enough to deter millions of ordinary families.
His hard work over the past ten years at Lantian could all be ruined because of this incident.
So in the end, he naturally chose the former: "How much compensation can Blue Sky give me?"
Qi Xi smiled slightly and said to the HR manager, "You coordinate with the finance department to calculate his compensation based on his length of service."
"Yes, General Manager."
Having dealt with one director, it's time to move on to the next step.
"The news department cannot be without a leader. I think Xu Hui, the deputy director of the news department, has been with Blue Sky for quite some time. Not only is she outstanding in her own abilities, but she has also cultivated a lot of talents for the station."
“Especially Yu Li, the host of ‘Celebrity Interviews,’ was trained by her before and is now a deputy director who can work independently.”
"I think Xu Hui is very suitable for the position of director. What do you all think?"
Before Qi Xi revealed her identity, these directors might have tried to find reasons to include their own people.
But now, judging from Qi Xi's tone just now, they can confirm that Qi Xi is a member of the Qi family.
If they dare to contradict Qi Xi, it will be an expression of dissatisfaction with the Qi family, and they will be the ones to suffer the consequences.
Therefore, this group of people naturally had no objections and repeatedly expressed their agreement.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, the personnel transfer is settled. If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the meeting."
After the meeting, Qi Xi called Yu Li and Xu Hui to his office at the same time.
He pretended to give Xu Hui a few words of advice, such as "I know you are very capable" and "I hope you will not let me down or let Lantian down." These were the kinds of words that leaders usually use.
Xu Hui never dreamed that one day she would be promoted to the position of director.
After all, the previous director wasn't that old. She would only have a chance to be promoted once the director above her was promoted and the position became vacant.
However, Xu Hui knew very well that she had little chance of promotion if she followed the normal promotion process.
Unexpectedly, the former director ruined his own life.
To her surprise, the new general manager, who looked very young, was very decisive in his work and entrusted her with important responsibilities.
Xu Hui immediately felt full of energy and first expressed her loyalty: "General Manager, rest assured, I will definitely work hard and will never let you down or the station's expectations of me!"
"Great, then you can go to work. I need to talk to Yu Li about the show separately."
After Xu Hui left and closed the door, Yu Li turned around and cupped Qi Xi's face in her hands.
He tugged at her cheeks as if punishing her.
"Well, Qi Xiaoxi, you even fooled me. Why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were coming to Lantian as the general manager? When you came into the meeting room just now, I thought I was seeing things, and I almost dropped my pen."
Qi Xi immediately raised her hands in surrender: "It's not that I didn't want to tell you beforehand, but my uncle said he wanted to give you a surprise. Lili, you have no idea how hard I've been holding back these past two days!"
No wonder, since yesterday, Yu Li noticed that Qi Xi was replying to messages very slowly, and after she finished dealing with the orphanage matter, Qi Xi didn't call her.
She wondered for a moment if Qi Xi was just too busy with work.
So they were busy handing over their work to Lantian.
So this is the surprise Qi Chenyan mentioned yesterday?
"However, how did Qi Chenyan know that you joined Tianhe Group and took over Lantian as the general manager? Isn't he supposed to be in charge of the group's affairs?"
Qi Xi clicked her tongue, her teeth aching: "Stop pretending. Don't you know that my entry into Tianhe and my taking over Lantian were all my uncle's doing? My dear uncle was worried that his wife would be mistreated at work, so he sent me, his best friend, to support you."
