Episode 2 recap: Wen Hui Xin fired Tang Zhi Yao.
Wen Hui Xin was discussing the car accident incident during a live news broadcast, and Liang Jing Ren naturally didn't want Wen Hui Xin to offend their sponsors. So, Liang Jing Ren instructed their subordinates to bring out the evidence they had when necessary for reporting. Before the commercial break, Wen Hui Xin informed the audience in front of their television sets that the next segment would involve Dr. Lu analyzing the car accident. However, at that time, reporter Tang Zhi Yao had not yet met Dr. Lu. But after causing a scene in the company, Tang Zhi Yao managed to convince Dr. Lu to agree to an interview.
Wen Hui Xin was very confident and connected with Dr. Lu, discussing recent news issues. Wen Hui Xin also pointed out the possibility of a problem with the bus parts and displayed a photo on the big screen at a critical moment. All the viewers in front of their television sets saw the photo. Xu Yingfei is now very concerned that things might go beyond their expectations, so he quickly advised Wen Hui Xin not to act recklessly. However, Wen Hui Xin refused to listen and even wanted to call their investor, Chairman Zheng. Chairman Zheng called Liang Jing Ren, who presented three options.
It can be said that Wen Hui Xin came prepared this time and even prepared evidence that the bus had used parts from Diki Company three days ago, which could be one of the reasons for the bus problem. Xu Yingfei was worried that the situation was getting out of control, so he quickly cut the phone line and asked Wen Hui Xin to end the news. Wen Hui Xin complied, delivering a heavy blow to Liang Jing Ren.
Although Diki Company was going to terminate their contract with them, Wen Hui Xin had already prepared a week ago and found another sponsor. They even offered a commission higher than ten percent. Now Xu Yingfei could finally relax and quickly informed Mrs. Fang about this matter. Zhang Jia Yan also realized that the truth was right there at the scene, they just didn't notice it. The Diki Company logo was in the photo, but no one paid attention to it.
As a result of this incident, Tang Zhi Yao successfully rose to become one of Wen Hui Xin's subordinates, and this opportunity was very important for her. Liang Jing Ren still didn't want to compromise, so they approached Xu Yingfei, hoping to secure a position as a chief anchor. Xu Yingfei knew that Liang Jing Ren wanted to surpass Wen Hui Xin.
When Wen Hui Xin arrived at work in the morning, they saw Tang Zhi Yao delivering breakfast to their colleagues. Tang Zhi Yao kindly offered breakfast to Wen Hui Xin, but Wen Hui Xin handed her some documents instead. It turned out that Wen Hui Xin had also uncovered Tang Zhi Yao's history of fabricating news. Tang Zhi Yao kneeled on the ground and apologized to Wen Hui Xin, but unexpectedly, Wen Hui Xin fired her on the spot.
Wen Hui Xin always focuses on stirring up attention and news, often disregarding the truth. It is enough for her to make the audience believe what she says is true. Wen Hui Xin even sent her subordinate to participate in the Compassionate Heart Foundation, and Liang Jing Ren introduced Xu Shi Qing to Mr. Liu. Initially, Mr. Liu was unfamiliar with Xu Shi Qing, but Xu Shi Qing lowered her dress, and he remembered her from a pool party.
Zhang Jia Yan's boyfriend is Shao Jun Le, the legal advisor for the Compassionate Heart Foundation. Today, he accompanied Zhang Jia Yan to the banquet. However, Xu Shi Qing and Xu Xiao Wei didn't get along due to their differing alliances. They didn't think highly of each other. Zhang Jia Yan didn't want to be involved in their discussion, so she left directly.
In fact, Xu Shi Qing and Xu Xiao Wei each have their own goals. On the other hand, Wen Hui Xin is playing cards with Mrs. Fang. The election for the president of the Compassionate Heart Foundation is approaching, and the discussion revolves around choosing between Ye Chen and Mr. Liu. It doesn't matter whom Wen Hui Xin and Liang Jing Ren support. What's important to them is securing a five-year sponsorship from the Compassionate Heart Foundation. Xu Xiao Wei and Xu Shi Qing are both using the news to gain the highest popularity among their respective supporters.
Zhang Jia Yan noticed some issues with the donation projects and wanted to investigate them thoroughly. However, Liang Jing Ren prevented her from doing so. Now she is caught between Wen Hui Xin and Liang Jing Ren, and she doesn't want to become a pawn in their power struggle.
Zhang Jia Yan cares only about the truth and doesn't want to get involved in their fight. Tang Zhi Yao approached Liang Jing Ren seeking her help, willing to compromise her principles for the sake of her job. However, Liang Jing Ren refused to assist her, considering her actions to be thoughtless.
Soon, rumors about Ye Chen were exposed online, which was detrimental to Wen Hui Xin. She scolded Xu Xiao Wei and demanded that she handle the situation properly, warning that she would be fired like Tang Zhi Yao if she failed. Xu Xiao Wei is making a final comparison, trying to find out who helped Ye Chen get into the car.
I feel like Wen Jie isn't just using Zhiyao. You can tell that from the moment she asks him to invite Dr. Lu. When the group couldn't reach out to him, she could (in reality, Wen Jie had already contacted him in advance) and gave Zhiyao an opportunity to showcase her abilities.
She wanted her to establish herself within the team. However, her actions earlier were too unethical, damaging someone else's car. If it were revealed that she obtained the evidence through her misconduct, Wen Jie's reputation would be ruined.
She definitely couldn't keep her on the team.
Actually, I think there's another layer to it. In the first episode, someone called Zhi Yao and said that if she couldn't come up with something, Wen Jie would be disappointed or something like that, putting pressure on Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao didn't have any better options, so she took a risk. The person who made the phone call might also have some issues.
This is the real workplace. Instead of relying solely on watching Chinese dramas, it's beneficial to gain experience in the actual workplace. Superiors are not there to do charity work; their main focus is their own and the company's interests.
As for how subordinates are treated, they don't really care as long as you complete your tasks.
For those who resign because they can't tolerate their superiors, how important do you think you are in the company? Once you leave, there will be someone else to take your place.
The company won't suffer any losses, and neither will the superiors. There is always more than one person who can be a capable subordinate.
