The meeting at the station was about making adjustments to the program based on the recent events that had happened.
Of course, the arrangements for 'The Big Adventure' were involved, so Zhou Qing was well prepared. He had already thought of how he was going to explain that he had jumped ship to a rival agency after returning to the program. He was confident that he could handle everything beautifully.
Perhaps, everyone else also assumed that 'The Big Adventure' would eventually be handed back to him. But, when it came to finding someone to support the program, the Station Manager did not even look at Zhou Qing as he said to the host of another program, "You previously had experience hosting 'The Big Adventure'. We need you right now …"
After hearing the Station Manager's words, everyone was surprised.
Practically, everyone turned to look at Zhou Qing. Why was this different from what they expected?
Most importantly, during the entire meeting, the Station Manager did not mention Zhou Qing or Xia Hanmo at all. It was like they didn't even exist.
Zhou Qing did not show it on his face, but deep down, he knew that the old man was deliberately causing trouble for him. That's why he was humiliating him in front of everyone.
"Errr … I don't think it's appropriate for me to do this in front of Zhou Ge," the man said as he looked at the Station Manager.
"Zhou Qing, I have other plans," the Station Manager replied with a smile.
"Since that's the case, then I'll take on this responsibility."
Everyone thought that the Station Manager would give Zhou Qing a better plan than 'The Big Adventure'. But, after discussing 'The Big Adventure', the Station Manager said to Zhou Qing, "After the meeting, stay here. I have something to say to you in private."
Soon, the meeting came to an end and everyone stood up to leave. Only Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo remained in the meeting room as they waited for the Station Manager's arrangements.
"Zhou Qing, Xiao Ying has been lacking a helper lately. I think Xia Hanmo is a suitable candidate. Let her go," the Station Manager said.
Zhou Qing did not say a word. Meanwhile, Xia Hanmo had no idea what she was being arranged to do.
"As for you, you've already gone to a rival's territory, so it's not appropriate for you to come back and take over 'The Big Adventure'. So, at a time like this, you should focus on something else and wait for the right time. Once the storm has passed, I will hand 'The Big Adventure' back to you."
"Taotao is pregnant and has applied for maternity leave. So, you can temporarily take over her duties."
"Station Manager, are you asking me to run some news?" Zhou Qing understood what the old Station Manager was trying to say.
"Right now, the situation outside is very tense. Right now, it's only temporary inconvenience for you guys."
Zhou Qing did not nod, nor did he shake his head. Although his expression was the same as usual, Xia Hanmo could sense that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.
"I still have other matters to attend to. Think about it carefully and go report." With that, the Station Manager turned around and left.
After they left, Xia Hanmo grabbed onto Zhou Qing's arm and asked, "Who is Xiao Ying?"
"A radio host. Her content is midnight love talk." That was the most unpresentable place in the station. The old Station Head had actually asked Xia Hanmo to act coy in the radio station.
As for him, he was not much better. A dignified A-list host was actually called to run news.
"Brother Zhou …"
"Let's endure it for a few days first," Zhou Qing replied.
He had thought that his return would be even more glorious, but he had never imagined that this would be the result.
As Zhou Qing and Xia Hanmo left the room, the other colleagues pointed at them, "These two were so confident when they first left. But, look at what happened in the end."
"From what I can see, Zhou Ge is indeed the Big Brother of the variety industry. But, he made a mistake by challenging the Station Manager's authority. He misjudged his position."
"I never thought that he would be sent to run news. Life sure is full of ups and downs."
Zhou Qing did not say a word as he listened to the discussions.
But, Xia Hanmo couldn't stand it any longer. She originally wanted to stick up for Zhou Qing, but Zhou Qing held onto her shoulder firmly, "Let's talk at home."
"Zhou Ge, you've been implicated because of me." Xia Hanmo still felt that Zhou Qing's current situation was all because of her issues with Superstar Media.
The difference was too big, so Zhou Qing needed to reaccept everything. So, he even gave the Station Manager's Station Manager a phone call.
As soon as the Station Manager's Station Manager heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, Zhou Qing, you're too naive. Did you think that after returning to the enemy's camp, the insiders would accept you? It's already good enough that you have news running errands for you. Yet, you're still thinking about 'The Big Adventure'? "
After hearing this, Zhou Qing clenched his fists tightly.
"I only agreed to come back because of you."
"Zhou Qing, I think you've made a mistake. You were the one who begged me to give you and your woman a way out. That's why I allowed you to return to the television station. Is your current position not suitable for you?"
"You need to think this through. The person you've offended is Tangning. Don't tell me you really think that you have a way out?"
Zhou Qing was so angry that he threw his phone on the floor.
Xia Hanmo was shocked. She had never seen Zhou Qing like this before. Zhou Qing was so irritable. After all, no matter what he did, he always looked elegant. So, Xia Hanmo's heart began to race.
"What did the Station Manager's Station Manager say?"
"You will report to the radio station tomorrow. Don't worry, leave everything to me," Zhou Qing concealed his anger, but he did not comfort Xia Hanmo.
It turned out, he had simply been played by the Station Manager's son!
So, late that night, after Xia Hanmo fell asleep, Zhou Qing directly headed to the hospital to negotiate with the Station Manager's son, "I've already told you the truth. Why can't you give me a way out?"
"How did I not give you a way out? Could it be that I'm forcing you to die by not giving you the role of host for 'The Big Adventure'? "
"You obviously know how important 'The Big Adventure' is to me! Tangning broke your arm, yet instead of getting even with her, you're venting your anger on me. What's the meaning of this? "
"What's the meaning of this? You're not even worth a fart! " The Station Manager's son replied. "Whether I look for Tangning or not is my business. It's completely different from how I treat you."
Zhou Qing glared at the Station Manager's son with hatred in his eyes.
"Do you hate me? Hit me then … I only have one arm anyway. "
Zhou Qing clenched his fists. He hated the Station Manager's son's arrogance, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he had no choice but to return home.
Xia Hanmo immediately ran up to him, "Zhou Ge …"
But, Zhou Qing pushed her away.
Originally, he thought he had picked up a treasure. But, it turned out to be useless.
Xia Hanmo was stunned by Zhou Qing's action as she stood rooted to the ground, unable to move.
"I'm too tired today. Let's talk tomorrow."
