Chapter 247 Already Seen Through
"Teacher Xiao An, here is the key to the studio. We sent apprentices to clean it last weekend. The equipment may be a little old, but it is not a big problem after being debugged by professional masters. You can go and have a look, and report any problems to us." Deputy Director Jian is a fat man in his forties with not much hair on his head. He may have been a soldier. His behavior is capable and straightforward. His waist is straightened, and his belly is obviously more like a four-month-old baby.
An Zhixia took it with a smile. The TV station was not small, with two office buildings alone. Although the station did not have many channels, the studio also occupied an entire six-story building.
The studio assigned to her for the overseas channel was located at the top of the building. She walked into the building with her keys, her bag, and her high heels. As soon as she saw the door of the building, she saw a group of seven, eight, or ten people suddenly disperse and run inside.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled. She thought she would not be lonely in the future. It would be fun to use her strength to crush others and tame them, right? In an age without the Internet, people always have to find some fun.
The studio still has a floral stone floor, emerald green skirting boards, slightly yellowed walls, and a narrow staircase that makes people feel inexplicably depressed.
The sound of high heels stepping on the ground was crisp and rhythmic, just like her boldness and willfulness without any loss. An Zhixia's daily morning exercises were not a joke. She climbed six floors without taking a breath. Just after five floors, there was a layer of visible dust on the ground.
She chuckled, "Did you send an apprentice to clean last week?"
Out of the corner of her eye she saw a few people clinging to the door frame to watch the fun, she pretended not to see them and continued walking up. At the junction of the fifth and sixth floors there was more than just dust, there were also scraps of paper, fruit peels, melon seed shells and tea leaves covering the ground, it looked like some of them had been thrown there before, and some were newly added in the past two days!
There was a faint stench in the air, her eyes were cold, someone was urinating here, and there were a few piles of dog feces. It seemed that many people in the station were very dissatisfied with her sudden appearance.
There was no place to step, so she didn't continue climbing up. When she returned to the fifth floor, she shouted, "Which apprentice received the cleaning task last week?"
The corridor was silent and no one responded.
She continued with a cold laugh, "We can find out about this matter once we investigate. They are just apprentices. If you don't want to be regular employees, then you should stand up quickly. If you are used as a gun by others, it depends on whether they can protect you. The director has given me enough power. Even regular employees can be dispatched at will by me!"
The corridor was not very spacious, and her voice could be heard clearly not only on the fifth floor, but also downstairs. Everyone looked at each other, some of them gloated over the misfortune, some were indifferent, and some were terrified.
"It seems that you look down on the work of an apprentice. Then I will take some effort to go down and find the leader," An Zhixia said as he was about to leave.
Finally, a timid girl ran out, her eyes red and she whispered with tears in her eyes: "Director Xiao An, I'm sorry, the leader arranged for me to clean the sixth floor last weekend. But," she trembled all over, "but everyone said that we have already been assigned to a department, and the company doesn't give overtime pay, so there is no need to do these thankless tasks. Besides, it's so dirty there..."
"Who else?" An Zhixia asked calmly.
"I, I dare not say," she said fearfully, rubbing the corner of her clothes.
An Zhixia raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll ask myself. The moment you said these words, you've already offended people. Is there anything else you dare not say? Or do you want a guarantee from me?"
The little girl was only 20 years old, not experienced in the world, her eyes moved around pretending to be scared, but she was full of ambition. She had seen many people like this in the circle, who were timid and bullied, and were easily satisfied by newcomers to maintain their prestige. There were too many cases before, and she would not bark at the dog that would bite. Poor people have their own unique hateful features!
The little girl shivered in fear, but a male comrade could not bear to see this and stepped forward angrily and said, "Director Xiao An, you are so powerful that you are looking for trouble with us apprentices as soon as you arrive. We are apprentices, but it does not mean that we are inferior. The leader has arranged work for us, but don't we have to complete our own work first? There are only so many people in the office, and there is indeed a lot of work to do. We haven't taken a penny from you, and if we don't help you with the work, the leader won't say a few words."
"Someone has guaranteed you a permanent job, so you are confident?" She crossed her chest and raised her eyebrows.
The man's momentum weakened a little, but he still said with his neck stiff, "We apprentices work diligently every day, and our leaders see it all. They won't prevent us from becoming regular employees just because of this one incident. You can't generalize!"
"The overseas channel was specifically requested by the top leaders, and as people with stable jobs, we had no choice but to obey orders unconditionally. How come you can be so picky? Do you think it's dirty and smelly, so you don't want to work there?
Or maybe someone is your backer, so you charge into battle for him and humiliate me in public?" An Zhixia said coldly, "I don't care. It will be too late for you to help me clean up later. I will ask the leaders of the station. If an apprentice can't even obey orders, is there any need for him to stay? Don't let him become even more lawless after he becomes a regular employee and doesn't listen to anyone."
"I, Director Xiao An, will help you clean," two young men came quickly with a broom and a dustpan, greeted them, and started cleaning with bated breath.
Seeing this, the two people in front of An Zhiqiu turned around with grim expressions and went to get tools to clean.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, An Zhixia walked around the building with her hands behind her back, visiting each room. Everyone greeted her with a fake smile and went about their business, glancing at her from the corner of their eyes. They felt that this parachuted Director An was extremely thick-skinned. Didn't they see that everyone didn't welcome her and was secretly ostracizing her? If it were a normal person, even an old comrade, wouldn't he be so angry that he would throw up his sleeves and leave?
But she acted as if nothing had happened and inspected the studio like a big leader.
Everyone braced themselves and showed their best, ready to crush and shock her with their expertise. The TV station was considered a department in the semi-circle, and everyone was well-informed and knew where this Director Xiao An came from.
She dared to be the director of a TV station after getting a gold medal in the spring performance group competition! What a genius screenwriter, what a person who organized the performance group competition, bah, she is only a high school graduate at her age? How can someone with no experience write so many wonderful works? Looking at her delicate and arrogant appearance, she must be the daughter of a rich family, shamelessly buying other people's ideas with money, and how much money did she spend to create momentum?
They have seen a lot of things like this!
Xia Xia: Alas, being beautiful is a problem, as people always force her to play the role of a pig and eat the tiger. She is beautiful, but doesn’t that mean she has no ability?
