Chapter 374: Chapter 183: That’s Her Man, the Man She Likes
Jiangcheng TV Station.
Song Xiaowei was at work, organizing the music list for the evening’s program.
Ever since she had publicly embarrassed her department head at the bar, Bi Yang had held a grudge against her.
First, he used the power at his disposal to forcibly suspend Song Xiaowei from her original hosting duties.
She was demoted from a late-night radio host to an assistant.
Then, he started approaching Director Wang from the general office, who was in charge of personnel, trying to get her kicked out of the station.
To that end, he had treated the director to three private dinners and bad-mouthed Song Xiaowei.
Although they were both called "Director," there was a clear hierarchy between them.
One was a department head, while the other was a station director; the difference in actual power was immense.
As the director of the TV station’s general office, in charge of logistics and personnel, Director Wang essentially held the fate of the lower-level, non-contract employees in his hands.
This was especially true for new interns.
"Song Xiaowei."
A colleague walked in, gave her a meaningful look, and said, "It looks like Director Wang from the general office needs to see you."
"Director Wang?"
Song Xiaowei asked, confused, "Why would he want to see me?"
"It’s probably about converting your internship to a full-time position."
The colleague kindly added as a reminder, "He usually only calls you interns in for two reasons. Either you’ve performed well and he wants to convert your position early, or..."
The colleague didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
It meant her performance during the internship was deemed unsatisfactory, and they were preparing to let her go.
To be honest, it was rare for an intern who managed to get hired to be kicked out midway through.
Unless they had offended someone.
And it was obvious to everyone that Song Xiaowei had offended her direct supervisor, Bi Yang.
Song Xiaowei understood this perfectly well herself.
After she had returned from splashing wine on him, there had been no new developments for several days, aside from the change in her job duties.
She had thought that disgusting pervert had just let it go, but it turned out he was secretly plotting something else.
If this were the old Song Xiaowei, she would have just accepted her fate.
But now, she wasn’t afraid.
Because she had Xu Yun standing behind her.
She believed in him.
So, amidst the pitiful glances from her colleagues, she called Xu Yun before heading to Director Wang’s office and explained the situation.
She hadn’t told him before because she didn’t want to bother him or cause him any trouble.
But this time, she had no choice but to say something.
"Okay, I understand."
Xu Yun comforted her after listening, "Go on, don’t be afraid. I’ll come pick you up after work."
"Okay," Song Xiaowei replied. She took a deep breath and continued toward Director Wang’s office.
Meanwhile, Xu Yun was driving back after having beaten up Xi Wei.
After hearing what Song Xiaowei had to say, he immediately called Yan Can.
In the bar, Yan Can and Xino were talking about their trip. He really wanted to join, but he gave up on the idea when he realized he would most likely be a third wheel.
Just as Xino was about to ask Yan Can to help her buy some gear, his phone rang.
Yan Can glanced at the screen and answered, "Hey, Brother Xu."
When Xino heard it was Xu Yun calling, she immediately started listening intently.
"How’s that thing I told you about last time coming along?"
"The TV station business?"
"Yeah."
"Monkey said he’s already started on it."
Yan Can said, "He said it might take a little more time to get the guy kicked out. What’s wrong?"
"Well, something’s come up."
Xu Yun briefly explained what was happening to Song Xiaowei. After listening, Yan Can immediately said, "Don’t worry, I’ll make a call right now."
After hanging up, Yan Can immediately called Monkey, his tone anything but polite.
The moment the call connected, he started yelling, "Monkey, what the fuck are you doing?! Was the money all for nothing, huh?"
"Whoa, what’s going on? Why are you so pissed?" the person on the other end replied, completely baffled.
Yan Can said, "The thing I told you about last time? They’ve already made the first move! You’re making me lose face here."
Then he explained Song Xiaowei’s situation again.
After listening, the other party said, "Don’t panic. I’ll make a call right now."
After hanging up, Yan Can muttered curses, "That guy is so unreliable."
This was the first time Xino had ever seen Yan Can so angry.
Especially since it seemed to be related to Xu Yun.
She asked with a concerned look, "Yan Can, did something happen to Xu Yun?"
"Uh, it’s just a small thing."
Yan Can laughed awkwardly. "Brother Xu just asked me to handle something, but it seems I didn’t do a good job, and the other party made a move first."
"What is it? Tell me."
"Can I not?"
Yan Can wasn’t an idiot. He wasn’t about to tell Xino about Xu Yun and another woman.
"No."
Yan Can: "..."
Under Xino’s interrogation, he had no choice but to explain the situation with Song Xiaowei.
However, he slightly altered Song Xiaowei’s identity.
Not his sister-in-law, but a distant cousin.
When Xino heard this, she was furious!
"To think there’s such scum at the TV station!"
In her eyes, Xu Yun’s cousin was her own cousin.
How could she tolerate her cousin being bullied like this?
She shot to her feet.
Yan Can asked, bewildered, "Hey, where are you going? You’re not going to storm the TV station, are you?"
"No, I’m going to find my brother!"
With that, Xino stormed off toward her brother’s office!
Yan Can: "..."
’It’s over,’ he thought. ’I feel like my money was a complete waste!’
’If I had known, I would have just let Xino handle this from the start.’
’She might not be able to do it herself, but she has an incredible brother!’
「Meanwhile.」
Song Xiaowei had arrived at Director Wang’s office. Inside were not only Director Wang, but Bi Yang as well.
