Protagonist:

Lu Feng

"A bunch of idiots! Leaving a perfectly good hot topic alone and running off to mess around!"

When closing up, Wang Mo still heard Chief Editor Chen's angry voice from inside the office.

He let out a deep sigh, and a wave of bitterness welled up in his heart.

It seemed what he had said yesterday really was right.

This time's interview subject really had to be Lu Feng.

"Host Han, Chief Editor told us to go in."

Wang Mo dragged his feet to Han Lu's workstation, his voice carrying some dejection.

Han Lu had just finished organizing the documents on her desk and was preparing to go downstairs to get something to eat; hearing this, she stood up from her chair.

Looking at Wang Mo's dejected appearance, she asked with a puzzled face: "What's wrong? Is Chief Editor Chen dissatisfied with the footage?"

"Dissatisfied."

Wang Mo sighed heavily.

"No way? I think today's interview material is pretty good! A head chef who apprenticed under a State Banquet Chef—this gimmick Chief Editor Chen didn't even like?"

Han Lu frowned and asked somewhat disbelievingly.

"Don't mention it, you'll know in a moment, let's go."

Wang Mo shook his head helplessly, and after speaking, he dragged his heavy steps toward the Chief Editor's office with an unwilling look.

He had just come out after being scolded, and going back later he estimated he'd get scolded again; he really didn't want to go back.

Seeing his appearance, Han Lu, following behind him, also felt a vague unease in her heart.

The two entered the office one after another, and Wang Mo deliberately closed the office door tightly.

Sure enough, not long after, Chief Editor Chen's vigorous roar came from inside the office again.

Even though the office's soundproofing was decent, his voice still let many staff members on the floor hear it clearly.

As the program's director and writer, Wang Mo bore the brunt of Chief Editor Chen's fire, getting scolded thoroughly.

"Can't even communicate with a person, what use are you as a chief editor!"

Throughout the whole thing, this sentence was what Chief Editor Chen said the most.

Han Lu, as a host, had always been very stable in her work at the television station.

This was also the first time she had been reprimanded by the chief editor since coming to work at the television station these years.

She felt she had been dragged down by Wang Mo.

Listening to Chief Editor Chen's reprimands of Wang Mo, she silently agreed in her heart.

What Wang Mo, this director and writer, did was indeed a bit lacking.

If not for him, she wouldn't have been called over by the chief editor for no reason to be scolded.

It was just that she seemed to have forgotten that last night on Food Street, when Wang Mo said Lu Feng wasn't cooperating with the interview, she also thought Lu Feng was a bit ungrateful.

I don't know how long passed before Chief Editor Chen's anger gradually subsided.

He impatiently waved his hand at the two dejected people in front of him, and finally said a sentence.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You two go to Lu Family Restaurant again tonight. No matter what methods you use, you must get the interview for me! The Hong'an Restaurant material stays on hold; without my permission, no broadcasting!"

The two sighed in relief at the same time, almost escaping from the chief editor's office.

Wang Mo took out a tissue from his pocket and repeatedly wiped his glasses, with a few specks of saliva on the lenses.

"Director Wang, then... shall we go film that Lu Family Restaurant tonight?"

Han Lu carefully broke the silence between the two, asking tentatively.

Just now in the office, she had been scared numb by Chief Editor Chen's anger, and only now had she slightly recovered.

She still held that investigation report on Lu Feng's shop in her hand.

After reading the contents above, her original bit of dissatisfaction toward Lu Feng had turned into curiosity.

"Right! Let's go film that damn little restaurant tonight!"

Wang Mo dried the saliva on his glasses, put his glasses back on, his voice full of gnashing teeth.

Mentioning Lu Feng's shop, the words Chief Editor Chen had scolded him with just now still echoed in his ears.

His mind was full of unwillingness.

Why does a little broken shop make the chief editor value it so much?

"Director Wang, don't be angry."

Seeing this, Han Lu could only soften her tone to comfort him, holding up the investigation report in her hand and continuing: "I just looked at the data on that shop; indeed it's as Chief Editor Chen said. I didn't expect that shop to be so impressive!"

Wang Mo glanced at the data in her hand, his tone still carrying some disdain: "Who knows! Chief Editor said that shop attracts a crowd queuing every day; who knows if he added something to the food he makes!"

He had been scolded badly by the chief editor just now, with a ball of fire pent up in his belly, and couldn't help but vent his anger on Lu Feng's shop.

Until now he still believed that Lu Feng's shop became popular because it pulled some gimmick.

He simply wasn't willing to believe that a young man who looked so many years younger than him could have culinary skills that good?

The Hong'an Restaurant they filmed today, its head chef Cheng Fan was also young.

But he had studied under a State Banquet Chef!

"Then what about this footage?"

Han Lu looked at his tense face, pointing at the U-disk in his hand, which contained the content of their interview at Hong'an Restaurant today.

"What else can we do?"

Wang Mo put the U-disk into his pocket and said resentfully, "Didn't the Chief Editor say so? Hold it back for now! The Lu Family Restaurant's material hasn't come out, everything else step aside!"

Originally it had already been agreed with the Hong'an Restaurant side that when the sample episode passed review and was officially broadcast, they would also invite Lu Fan to do a live on-site broadcast.

But unexpectedly the Chief Editor didn't even finish watching the sample episode before throwing it back.

The more he thought about it the angrier he got; bringing up Lu Feng's Shop's name still made his teeth grit with hatred.

A little shop, why should it be so valued by the Chief Editor?

This is very unscientific!

…………

Time quickly arrived at six o'clock in the evening.

The television station's interview vehicle set off early, the Jiangcheng Television Station logo on the vehicle body appearing particularly conspicuous on the road.

Inside the interview vehicle's cabin, the atmosphere seemed somewhat low.

Before departing from the television station, Wang Mo had already discussed it with Han Lu.

Besides Wang Mo, Han Lu would also go along to do the communication this time.

After all today Chief Editor Chen flared up such a huge temper, giving the two of them a death order.

When they were still two streets away from Food Street, the two people were mutually doing psychological preparation.

"When we get there in a bit, both of us be a bit more polite."

Han Lu broke the silence in the cabin, her tone carrying a few parts persuasion: "Anyway it's just this one interview, endure past it and it's done, I don't want to hear Chief Editor Chen flare up again."

She recalled Chief Editor Chen's glaring-wide-eyed appearance this afternoon, and even now still had some lingering fear.

"Got it, I used to do sales, this level of communication difficulty is just a piece of cake for me."

Wang Mo lifted his chin, his tone carrying a few parts pride as he said: "This time I'll introduce our program's advantages to him in detail, I just don't believe I can't handle him!"
