And ultimately, national honor persuaded ; I felt that if I didn’t agree, I would be ashad of the motherland for the rest of my life."
"There’s also this..."
Wu Yue was shocked, her eyes wide open: "You never told about this!"
"Maybe I ntioned it to you, but you forgot about it yourself?"
Kang Li raised an eyebrow.
"No, you definitely didn’t ntion this to !" Wu Yue said assertively, with a huff: "Don’t think you can fool ; though I’m not as smart as you, my mory is still sharp. I rember everything you’ve told , clearly."
"Alright, let’s assu I’ve never ntioned it to you before, but now the problem is, I’m about to go to the training camp, followed by going abroad. What do you think we should do?"
As he said this, Kang Li spread his hands.
"Substitute host. I will make it clear to the leaders at the station, so Xiao Wang will continue to cover for you. When you return ho after the competition, you can resu our work."
"Is there no other way?"
"Don’t even think about resigning. The leaders talked to before, they wanted to work on your mindset, to host another program, I said it was impossible, I told them that even you hosting your current program,
was only possible because I begged nonstop for the TV station’s approval. If you dare to quit halfway now, I will let the leaders know, and you can imagine what will happen next."
Our leaders are very persuasive, and once they fix their sights on soone, no one can escape.
Kang Li shuddered: "No, please don’t tell the Station Chief about this." Clearly, Kang Li was also aware of the Station Chief.
"Li Bao, let’s settle it then, you go about your business, and I’ll have Xiao Wang inform the children in front of the TV at the start of the next program. He’ll say that you have an especially important matter and will be absent for a while, but will return to the show after you’re done."
"Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Why wouldn’t it be?"
"When I co back, if Comrade Wang has hosted several episodes, suddenly letting him step down is sothing anyone would find hard to accept."
"You don’t need to worry about Xiao Wang, the station has its own arrangents."
"Fine, fine, fine, as long as the station doesn’t mind, I have nothing more to say."
"Let’s go."
"Where to?"
"We need to talk to the leaders about you taking leave."
Wu Yue, hooking Kang Li’s arm, starts to lead him toward the office.
"It’s too hot, I can walk by myself."
Kang Li lightly pushed Wu Yue’s hand away.
"Walking with a great beauty like you makes feel both cool and happy." Wu Yue smiled at Kang Li, but didn’t let go.
Kang Li barely parted his lips: "Clingy."
Wu Yue humd and said, "I’ll cling to you, what can you do about it?"
"Don’t you think you’re being childish?"
Kang Li was helpless.
"Being childish is good, it ans I’m still young." Wu Yue was impervious, smiling happily.
They knocked on the office door.
After hearing "Co in" from inside, the two of them opened the door and entered, one after another.
About twenty minutes went by.
"Xiao Kang, you go ahead and focus on the training and competition, the station fully supports your work. As for your position at the station, let’s do what Xiao Wu said and have Comrade Wang Qi cover for you temporarily."
Station Chief Zhang is a very amiable middle-aged man. Right now, he is particularly looking forward to Kang Li returning from the competition with a gold dal, which would bring glory to their TV station.
After all, Kang Li is an employee of their TV station. Despite so special circumstances, no one could deny that Comrade Kang Li truly worked at their TV station and was the host of a children’s program there.
