NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 31 - Times Have Changed!
Chapter 31: Times Have Changed!
Yang Fan’s eyes lit up. Living in the same building as He Jiong, Wang Han, Xie Na, and others, riding on the wave of the TV station’s influence, would it make it much easier for him to interview celebrities in the future?
Although both the radio station and the TV station belong to the Mango Network, the influence of the radio station is not even close to that of the TV station.
Even though they are all employees of the Mango Network, most celebrities only recognize the hosts from Mango TV and don’t acknowledge the radio hosts at all.
This has led to a situation where the radio hosts, despite being employees of the entertainment giant, are often treated like reporters from some obscure newspaper when they go out for interviews.
Such treatment has long been a source of frustration for the radio hosts, but over time, after being mistreated so often, everyone has become somewhat resigned to it.
But while others might have resigned themselves to this fate, Yang Fan couldn’t afford to!
He was someone who relied on interviewing celebrities to earn system rewards.
If the radio station’s status remained low, his path to interviewing celebrities would be long and arduous!
For the sake of system rewards, he had to make plans for himself.
This staff housing—he was going to take it!
Yang Fan first went home to drop off his luggage, then followed Shi Lei back to the station to report.
However, as soon as he stepped into the office area, a group of colleagues suddenly rushed up and lifted him into the air, throwing him up in celebration.
This startled Yang Fan so much that he almost performed a 360-degree spin kick, ready to take them all down!
Fortunately, Yang Fan managed to hold back at the last moment.
“Yang Fan, you’re amazing!”
“Yang Fan, you’re my idol!”
“Sir, you’re incredible!!!”
“Yang Fan, how are you so awesome?”
“Damn, we can finally hold our heads high in front of the TV station now.”
“Exactly! The TV station couldn’t even get a live interview with the The Climbers crew, but our radio station did it. Hahaha, I’m going to brag about this for years!”
“Hahaha, it’s not like you were the one who did the interview. Why are you so proud? The real star, Yang Fan, isn’t even showing off, but you’re acting all high and mighty!”
“Yang Fan’s glory is our radio station’s glory. We rise and fall together!”
“That’s right, Yang Fan, from now on, you’re the face of our station!”
“Exactly! With you here, who would dare to look down on our station’s capabilities?”
“Hey, Yang Fan, you have no idea, but while you were away, our station chief was so happy that he kept visiting the TV station!”
“The TV station was so annoyed that they almost kicked him out, hahahaha!” The colleagues excitedly shared the recent happenings.
“Right, right! Even our usually stern director has been all smiles lately. Life has been so good for us recently!”
“Yang Fan, it’s all thanks to you!”
“Idol, I bow to you!”
The colleagues eagerly gathered around, flattering and currying favor with Yang Fan.
Even a few hosts who had never interacted much with Yang Fan before came over to say nice things.
But of course, there’s always someone who doesn’t want to join in, like Host Lin Hai!
Lin Hai sat at his desk with a dark expression, not even bothering to look up, as if he hadn’t seen Yang Fan at all.
Yang Fan walked over to Lin Hai with a smile, apologetically saying, “Mr. Lin Hai, I’m really sorry. I just found out that the station has rescheduled my show to your time slot.”
The atmosphere in the office instantly became tense. Why did Yang Fan have to bring up such a sensitive topic?
Lin Hai glared fiercely at Yang Fan, gritting his teeth as he said, “Yang Fan, we’ll see about this!” After saying that, Lin Hai angrily grabbed some documents and stormed out.
Shi Lei happily approached Yang Fan, saying, “See? I told you Lin Hai wants to chop you into pieces right now!”
Yang Fan lazily sat down in Lin Hai’s seat, smiling as he said, “My bones are tough. He can’t chop me.”
“Yang Fan, we support you!”
“That’s right, we support you! Lin Hai always acts high and mighty because of his seniority, treating us like dirt. He takes credit when things go well and shifts blame when they don’t. We’ve had enough!”
“Exactly! I’ve been fed up with him for a long time. He’s always throwing his weight around, acting like he’s the boss. What a jerk!”
“Before, our station didn’t have anyone influential enough to stand up to him, so we couldn’t do anything.”
“But now that Yang Fan is here, let’s see if he dares to keep acting so arrogantly!”
“Yang Fan, we’ve got your back! If you need anything, just let us know!”
“That’s right! Yang Fan, we believe in you!”
“Go for it! Yang Fan! Olé!”
“Olé!”
“Olé!”
“Olé!”
“…”
The crowd was so excited, jumping around as if it were their own shows that had been moved to the prime time slot.
The director walked in with a smile, “Yang Fan, you’re back.”
“Yes, I’m back. Mission accomplished, and perfectly so,” Yang Fan replied with a grin.
The director gave Yang Fan a hearty pat on the shoulder, saying, “Well done! You’ve really brought honor to our station!”
“Alright, everyone, gather in the meeting room. We’re having a meeting!” the director announced cheerfully.
Everyone responded enthusiastically.
Lin Hai was the last to arrive. In the past, no one would have dared to say a word about it.
But times had changed!
Shi Lei looked at Lin Hai with a sarcastic tone, “Mr. Lin Hai, isn’t it a bit inappropriate to keep everyone waiting like this?”
Lin Hai’s already dark face turned even darker, “The director hasn’t said anything. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”
The director, who had been looking down at some documents, suddenly raised her head and scolded, “Lin Hai, you’re the most senior employee here. How can you be late for such an important meeting? What am I supposed to say about this?”
“Lin Hai, this is your last warning. If you’re late again, you’ll be officially reprimanded,” the director said sternly, showing no mercy.
She had been tolerating Lin Hai for a long time, but his show had the highest ratings in the station, and his seniority even surpassed hers, so she had never dared to confront him.
But now, the situation has changed.
Yang Fan was her protégé, and now that he was rising in fame, how dare Lin Hai act so arrogantly in front of her?
Who did he think he was? Did he still want to keep his job at the station?
