After settling things with his girlfriend, Wang Yan’s life beca more leisurely for a while.
During the day, he followed the regular work schedule, going live on air, and after his broadcasts, he would video chat with YOYO if he had nothing else to do. The two were in such a sticky state of infatuation that they would want to ssage each other even when using the bathroom.
The advertising contract issue was soon put on the agenda. After the post-production editing of the comrcial, all that was left was to arrange the screening tis. President Qian was very efficient, solving the scheduling problem in less than ten days and providing specific arrangents for the premiere.
However, not everything went smoothly. The advertising contract was signed, but there was still no new developnt in YOYO’s promotion issue.
On the day President Qian’s promised ’action’ deadline arrived, YOYO knocked on his office door again.
"Ah! YOYO, co in and sit down!" President Qian glanced up at YOYO and cheerfully gestured for her to sit.
"President Qian, you promised with your hand on your chest! As long as I brought in the ad, you’d take full responsibility for my promotion issue!
Another week has passed, and there’s still no movent. What’s the deal this ti?" YOYO got straight to the point after entering, without beating around the bush.
"Look at you, young people just can’t keep their cool! The organization is big, and it’s not run by . Everything takes a process, right?
I’ve already ntioned your issue to Director Liu. Barring any surprises, your na will be in the next promotion list!"
"When is the next batch?" Upon hearing the na Director Liu, YOYO’s pretty eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her tone beca extrely firm.
Director Liu is YOYO’s imdiate superior, and employee promotions under him are all at his discretion. Previously, YOYO’s promotion was suppressed by him.
YOYO frowned because President Qian didn’t say this before securing the contract.
YOYO’s promotion was being held up because Director Liu, an old sleaze, had illicit intentions towards the female hosts under him. YOYO had repeatedly rejected his advances.
When she initially approached President Qian, he clearly stated that he could use his authority to bypass the usual hierarchy and report YOYO’s promotion directly.
Now, everything has circled back to Director Liu’s hands, which directly contradicts the promise made.
"The organization submits a promotion application form every six months, and the next one is in August, very soon!" President Qian boasted earnestly.
"You know my situation, and you also know what’s going on with Director Liu. I won’t spell it out, but I hope you can keep your promise!
I respect you as an esteed leader, and in my eyes, you’re not like him..." YOYO continued.
"Rest assured! I, President Qian, never fail in what I set out to do! Just wait patiently!" President Qian continued to promise.
"Alright then, I’ll just go back and wait for the news! Go ahead, keep busy!"
"Alright, alright, if there’s anything, co find anyti!"
...
Upon leaving President Qian’s office, YOYO mulled over his words repeatedly.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be a problem, but with the issue thrown back to Director Liu, YOYO couldn’t shake a feeling of unease.
Just when YOYO, preoccupied with thoughts, returned to her office workstation, Director Liu tapped on the corner of her desk.
"Co to my office for a mont!"
"Is there already a result?" YOYO felt quite excited inside, thinking President Qian hadn’t deceived her.
Very soon, YOYO went to Director Liu’s office next door, full of expectations. Here’s an important detail — when she entered President Qian’s office, YOYO kept the door closed, but upon entering her direct superior Director Liu’s office, she intentionally closed the door gently so it was ajar.
"Director, did you call for ?" YOYO stood across from him, tone slightly expectant.
"President Qian just ntioned your promotion. Based on experience, you are indeed at the standard for promotion!
But your personality is too strong, which makes it difficult for to help you, even if I wanted to!" Director Liu said with a aningful tone.
Hearing this, YOYO’s expression imdiately turned cold.
"So what?"
"All promotions for hosts in the program group are under my responsibility. Even if President Qian wants to speak on your behalf, it still requires my approval. Did you not realize this?
Why don’t we do this, book a western restaurant for tonight, and we’ll chat over dinner to discuss your promotion in depth?
This year, there’s a final batch of promotion slots. If you miss this chance, even last year’s new graduates might end up with higher ratings than you!"
With just a few words, Director Liu revealed his sleazy nature again. If it were a standard discussion on work matters, no competent leader would say sothing with such blatant implications.
"Does a normal work experience promotion require all this nonsense? Are you so lust-driven that you can’t live without it? Look at you, already old enough, if you had kids, they’d be older than ! If you had a daughter, would you want her to be in my situation, harassed and subjected to casting couches by an old man every day?"
YOYO, after holding back her anger for so long, released it unreservedly at this mont, almost pointing and cursing at him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Anger without power is useless! No matter how angry you are, the matter of your title promotion is still in my hands, isn’t it?
To gain sothing, you must correspondingly sacrifice sothing! You’ve been at the organization for three years, still a Third-level Announcer, and you haven’t even grasped this basic understanding?"
