Chapter 184
The whole affair resonated like a clap of thunder.
With the retirement of the Old Station Director, and the Deputy Director’s departure, the otherwise vacant position drew covetous eyes.
Many wondered whose alliance could push their person to that position. Being the Station Director was indeed a tremendous honour.
Whoever breached this realm had already transcended the basic level.
In a surprising move, a young man was appointed; this young man was Shi Zhong.
His experience was lacking and his resume was unimpressive, which ruffled some feathers among the old hands.
With the Deputy Director position vacant, it set off everyone's imagination, all believed they were capable.
However, the appointment of an outsider gave them hope, only to take it away in swift disappointment. The shock of this huge disparity left them with a bitter taste.
Hence, grudges emerged.
Creating a TV show required a complex team.
Any single person could cause the failure of a project by not cooperating.
The older employees initially thought that this method could humiliate the new leader.
However, Shi Zhong started with three tough moves, outsourcing the work to a professional variety production team.
You guys decided not to work, didn't you? Well, there are others who would.
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked.
The cuisine battle show itself already had a tremendous following.
Coupled with the series of events that had transpired, even more fuel had been added to the fire.
Meaning, once one took part in the cuisine battle, it would be the brightest spot in their resume, whether they plan to change jobs or get promoted.
Who would have thought he would be so ruthless?
The team tried to convince him to retract his orders.
Though Shi Zhong appeared to be sarcastically cheerful and appeared amiable to everyone,
He spoke the iciest words with the warmest smile.
"Some of the older employees are emotional and uncooperative. This matter couldn't be pushed, and my position in the station is somewhat difficult. I hope you all understand."
Thereupon, the anger of the others was diverted towards the older employees, successfully shifting the blame.
However, upon sober reflection, it was terrifying to realize the new Station Director's actions were childishly similar to their own – those who flip tables in dissatisfaction.
They all became docile.
After all, dealing with the Station Director was inevitable as long as they remained employed there. Thus, avoiding potential embarrassment.
When Full Star removed their previous posts, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.
Word got around that it was the new Station Director who had approached Shen Wei to get this done.
No one knew what had been discussed, but in the end, he managed to retract the posts.
Otherwise, with the way things were escalating,
Once the show was moved to another place, for the Cake Station, it would be losing more than one battled.
After ruining the reputation and losing a popular show, just thinking about it felt suffocating.
Regardless, the controversial video was deleted on the other side, seemingly to lower the heat.
Shi Zhong's continuous moves made one wary; indeed, the leadership were not ordinary people.
Though the Old Station Director had retired,
He still heard about the happenings in his former unit.
He regretted it deeply.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, the stubborn Deputy Director was right. If they had known such an event would occur, they would have earnestly coveted the program.
Now, someone else reaped the benefits. Yes, the show was a hit, but what was the point for them both?
Television stations are a complicated place.
Even the Old Station Director, who maintains amiability from every angle, didn't manage his former employees properly.
The fact that a young man, who hasn't been on the job for long, was able to settle this complicated matter, made him ponder.
Even though the Old Station Director appears amiable, he feels superior and took a misstep with this issue.
But now even regret is useless. Having retired and even left a black mark behind, it's too late for anything.
...
Shen Wei returned to the Starry Sky Kindergarten.
He Lingfeng looked up at Shen Wei with worry in his eyes.
He felt a fledgling's affection for Shen Wei. The young boy often browsed the internet.
He watched everything happening at Starry Sky Kindergarten, revealing genuine thoughts upon seeing Shen Wei now.
He Lingfeng was a handsome boy, Shen Wei smiled and asked reason behind his frown, pinching his cheeks couldn’t help herself.
The boy was only 5 years old when he first arrived, and now he's turned 6.
Professor Liu had taken He Lingfeng to several crucial computer conferences before.
The child demonstrated astonishing talent, leaving all the big shots astounded.
They had seen plenty of geniuses, but such a young prodigy was perceived as a precious gift, especially when it came to the field of computing, where he seemed unbound in scope.
This was a significant asset in computer research.
Furthermore, to their delight, Starry Sky Kindergarten had built an excellent foundation for He Lingfeng.
At such a young age, he has already finished high school courses.
He'd even begun exploring university level knowledge.
However, university subjects being more profound and specialized, except for mathematics and computing, other subjects required slow digestion to understand.
But he was already more than capable.
Everywhere He Lingfeng went, he was hailed as a child prodigy.
Treated as something precious, no one had ever dared to pinch his cheek.
Except Shen Wei.
Seeing Shen Wei laugh, the young boy finally sighed in relief.
In the end, he offered his cheek, allowing Shen Wei to stroke it as she desires.
"If you're unhappy, you can tell me." He looked at Shen Wei earnestly as he spoke in his childish tone.
Shen Wei was deeply touched.
Children have the purest hearts.
It's hard not to be moved when a child shows you their utmost sincerity.
Shen Wei too, couldn't resist, embraced the child, and said, "Thank you, but you don't have to worry about me."
Having a child worrying about her, made Shen Wei feel both endearing and warm.
Being cradled in Shen Wei's arms, He Lingfeng's face softened, lay against her shoulder, and said, "I'll grow up quickly, and then, we can do whatever we want without any fear of being bullied."
Shen Wei replied, "Okay, protect me when you grow up!"
The boy lifted his face, nodded with utmost seriousness, and said, "I'll definitely become very strong."
Shen Wei couldn't resist and kissed his little face.
The boy's face turned crimson. Without knowing how to react, he decided to quietly nestle in Shen Wei's embrace, believing this moment to be particularly sweet.
No one knew where Doctor Lu could've possibly popped out from, but he did with an utterance of, "Oh my, how shy!"
He Lingfeng quickly pulled away from Shen Wei’s embrace. As a young man, he couldn't let others see him in such a bashful state.
He glared at Doctor Lu before departing.
Doctor Lu just laughed, seeing the whole situation as amusing and not minding getting involved. He found kids utterly delightful.
Shen Wei, fairly helpless in the face of Doctor Lu’s actions, asked, "Why have you become so childlike now?"
After all, he used to be the chief physician of the hospital.
His sober demeanor seemed as if it were deeply rooted in him.
Who would have thought that on stepping foot in a nursery, he’d gone to the extent of teasing the children, really showing no bounds to his casualness?
