Chapter 818: Chapter 819: Ungrateful When Given Face
This line echoed in Xia Yangyang’s mind from back when she was obsessed with “Meteor Garden” during her high school years.
At that time, she only thought the male lead’s words were arrogantly cool and domineering.
But at this very moment, those words spontaneously sprung to Xia Yangyang’s mind.
And indeed, saying it out loud did feel exhilarating.
The station manager’s face was looking quite ugly.
Originally, the thought was that if the situation could be calmed down, that would be best, since Yuanyuan was her daughter-in-law after all.
Just last night, she had made a scene at home, crying, throwing tantrums, and threatening to hang herself, nearly blowing the roof off.
But Xia Yangyang was not an ordinary person.
Yesterday, Gu Qichen personally confirmed her identity, calling her “wife.”
If this matter was not handled well, it would completely offend Shengyuan.
And the TV station’s largest revenue every year comes from Shengyuan’s advertising.
Let’s not mention the promotional video for now.
If they were to lose the advertisement contracts, then everyone at the TV station really would be left out in the cold.
Lin Yuanyuan was furious.
Xia Yangyang was just too arrogant.
She had already apologized in a low voice, what more did she want?
If it weren’t for the fear that Gu Qichen might actually sue her, would she have apologized to her?
The greatest indignity Lin Yuanyuan had ever suffered from birth was because of the person in front of her.
The more Lin Yuanyuan thought about it, the angrier she became, “Xia Yangyang, I advise you to quit while you’re ahead; don’t push your luck.”
Xia Yangyang laughed, “The thing is, I haven’t seen anything good yet, Director. Your apology lacks sincerity. How about this? You write me a self-criticism of five thousand words, then let me review it. The wording must be heartfelt, the attitude proper, and you will write until I’m satisfied. How does that sound?”
Xia Yangyang was deliberately making things difficult for Lin Yuanyuan.
But it wasn’t for herself, it was for the harm Lin Yuanyuan had caused Zhang Xinyi.
Xia Yangyang had originally wanted Lin Yuanyuan to apologize to Zhang Xinyi.
But first, she knew that even if Lin Yuanyuan were pressed to apologize by her, it wouldn’t be sincere.
Secondly, the news had just barely been suppressed; bringing it up again now might inflict secondary harm on Zhang Xinyi.
When Lin Yuanyuan heard Xia Yangyang say this, her face turned green, “Xia Yangyang, how dare you make such a demand, you wishful thinker. Dream on about me writing a self-criticism for you.”
“Director Lin, if this is your attitude, then you don’t have to write the self-criticism, just resign and leave the TV station. We do not need an employee like you, nor do we need a director of the news department like you.”
Suddenly, the station manager sternly chastised her, with a serious expression on his face.
Lin Yuanyuan seemed to hardly believe that the station manager would take such a stance, her eyes wide as she exclaimed, “Dad!”
The station manager was also helpless inside. At this time, he could only speak out righteously and disown kin.
Protecting Lin Yuanyuan and losing the big client Shengyuan was truly not worth it.
The station manager continued, “I think you are not fit for the role of news director. Starting today, Lin Yuanyuan is suspended for investigation, and Xia Yangyang will take over as the director of the news department.”
Lin Yuanyuan was almost at a loss for words.
She truly hadn’t expected that she would lose to Xia Yangyang once again.
Lin Yuanyuan was seething with rage, and no longer caring about the consequences, she directly removed her work badge, maintaining the last bit of her dignity, “Fine, I won’t do it. I, Lin Yuanyuan, will do just as well elsewhere if I leave this place.”
As she approached Xia Yangyang, her words were almost through gritted teeth, “Xia Yangyang, don’t be so smug. Have you and Gu Qichen really gotten back together? Why hasn’t he made it public? He’s just intrigued for the moment. I wonder how long you can rely on your powerful husband.”
