Chapter 13 (2/2)

At the same time…

Muyao TV Headquarters.

“The variety show “Heartbeat” had already been prepared by me, why should I find someone else to come? I’m not convinced!”

Li Jianyu was a director and screenwriter for the reality show department. He was very capable in his profession, and the shows he had previously worked on were highly rated and received. But with the passage of time, they were gradually replaced by other new shows, to the point where they have all been suspended by now.

“Heartbeat” was an idea that he finally came up with. It was based on the theme of love/lifestyle, where the male and female guests would live under the same roof and create sparks of love in their daily interactions.

But when he submitted the script, he had received a cold notice: The network was planning to hand his show to a Director Chen.

Li Jianyu fought with them for a long time, but the boss with the receding hairline in front of him continued to dodge the issue. With a stomach full of anger, he felt like he was punching a ball of cotton. He couldn’t hold it anymore.

“Xiao Li, let me tell you about this show; it’s the same no matter who films it. Besides, you have no connections or resources right now. I heard you even tried to invite that big vase, Xiang Yi. This kind of 18th tier entertainer can be found anywhere on the streets. You should collect yourself. One day, I can arrange for you to work for Director Chen as his assistant.”

Trying to suppress him on one hand, while trying to show kindness on the other— he made it seem like there was a choice when he had already made the decision.

He was sure that Li Jianyu wouldn’t leave Muyao TV.

However, he had forgotten that all humans had a bottom line.

“Bam!”

Under the horrified gaze of his boss, Li Jianyu handed in his resignation on the spot.

He left the TV station and took a deep breath. He then called the number of an old friend.

“Brother Shi, no, Mr. Shi, can you send urgent help in a pugilist* world?”

Translator’s Note: * “Urgent need in the pugilist world” means there is an urgent need for help in the current social environment he is in.
