Free Web NovelChapter 1127: Chapter 458: Surprises at the New Job! Dundun Is a Filial Child, But Not Very!
"Before leaving, let’s take a group photo."
At the entrance of the TV station, Zeng Xiaoqi and his program team members stood at the front door, each holding their belongings like migrant workers returning home for the Spring Festival rush, and asked the security at the door to take a couple of photos.
Even though everyone was carrying big bags and small bags, looking somewhat disheveled, their faces were lit up with smiles.
They didn’t have the hesitation and anxiety of resigning, instead, they were filled with passion and determination for the new job.
They were going to work with the big bosses like Lin Xu, Chef Xie, Chef Qiu, Chef Guo at the same company, and it would be about what they excelled in and loved the most, food, which made them extremely happy.
After taking the photos, Zeng Xiaoqi looked at Xiaowei and asked:
"Has Mr. Lishan packed everything?"
"Yes, it’s all in this box... I just found out that Mr. Lishan had secretly stashed a small jar of pepper-salt sesame shortbread... Is this made by Boss Lin, Senior?"
Zeng Xiaoqi shook his head:
"Not necessarily, Master Niu from Lin Ji’s pastry department likes to create snacks, which are often available at Lin Ji."
In the past, Yan Bao and Shu Baobao always made me drool, but now it’s fine, I’m also going to work on Yingchun Street, just a ten-minute walk from Huixuan Building to Lin Ji’s Food.
Humph, let’s see how you tease me in the future!
Xiao Sui, who was responsible for operations, had quite a lot of personal belongings, and today she specifically brought an extra-large backpack to the TV station. She was carrying a backpack, wearing three hats on her head, like a hiking trekker.
Hearing Zeng Xiaoqi’s words, this backpacker curiously asked:
"Director Zeng, will we be able to eat at Lin Ji often?"
"Not often, every day. Joyful Media’s lunch box set for every day is provided by Lin Ji’s Food. The portions are generous and varied; quite a few people moved over because the lunch boxes are delicious."
"Wow, won’t I get fat then?"
"Indeed, so you need to take care of your body."
Zeng Xiaoqi, who had gained three pounds, also resolved to exercise regularly.
As they were chatting, two business vans slowly parked at the entrance, and Sister Weiwei waved to everyone from the passenger seat:
"Xiaoqi, get in!"
This was arranged by Chen Yan, originally planning to rent a convoy, but thinking it would be too rustic, she arranged for two business vans to pick everyone up and take them to the company.
Get the employment procedures done first to avoid any complications.
As Zeng Xiaoqi got on the van with her box of belongings, she turned to glance at the gates of the TV station, silently bidding farewell to the place she had worked at for four years.
After getting into the van, Sister Weiwei said:
"Originally, Mr. Chen wanted to come and pick you up in person, but he’s in a meeting with the head chefs now and can’t make it, so he sent me."
In a meeting?
Zeng Xiaoqi curiously asked:
"What is the meeting about?"
"Well, since you’ve resigned, we need to manage without Yanjing TV Station’s resources. So today, the head chefs who aren’t busy are being gathered at the company to make the situation clear, and to ask for their views on the food program."
Not every chef is as stage-confident as Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli, and not every chef is as young, handsome, and dashing as Lin Xu.
So there needs to be communication to see how each chef’s strengths can be showcased.
Actually, the TV station’s resources are available too; as long as Chen Yan nods, Yanjing TV Station would be willing to cooperate.
But Chen Yan would never nod to that.
When a good sister is wronged, she’s already being very restrained by not retaliating.
Cooperate? In the future, isn’t it more suitable to work with CCTV? Besides CCTV, there are other satellite channels, like Eastern TV, Jiangnan TV, and others, aren’t they bigger than Yanjing TV?
While these people were heading to the new company with excitement, the office at the TV station was full of anxiety among a few leaders.
The head of the advertising department, surnamed Liu, said:
"If it doesn’t work, find a slightly lesser-known chef. It doesn’t have to be a famous chef, and not all famous chefs in Yanjing are signed by Joyful Media; there are others too."
Now they were caught in a dilemma, and the show had to go on.
The station leader looked at Zhen Wensheng and asked:
"Old Zhen, do you have any good suggestions?"
Zhen Wensheng chuckled:
"My suggestion is to give it up. If Zeng Xiaoqi hadn’t resigned, an apology would have sufficed. But now... doing another food show is purely self-humiliation."
His suggestion was vetoed:
"What a joke, the contracts with the sponsors are all signed. While the Taste of Humanity still has buzz, we’ll continue it, release the preview in the afternoon, a brand new edition, so the audience can look forward to it."
"Yes, release a re-edition preview and hype up the buzz. As long as there’s buzz, won’t the ratings shoot up?"
The program’s copyright of Taste of Humanity belongs to the TV station, so even without Zeng Xiaoqi’s authorization, they could still use the brand.
They just can’t use the title written by Geng Lishan.
But none of that matters; if the re-edition preview is glamorous and the setting is upscale, with some online hype, maybe it could create a new glory.
Seeing this group brimming with confidence, Zhen Wensheng suddenly felt a bit disheartened.
The decline of the media industry is not without reason, after all.
Seizing a pause in the discussion, he said:
"The publishing house has been discussing a travel-related book with me recently. I’m planning to take a half-year leave to organize the materials accumulated over the years, and take the family to spend the winter in Hainan, as the winters in Beijing are too cold for my parents."
