Protagonist:

Lu Feng

This program has always aired on Jiangcheng Television Station at ten o'clock every evening.

Only that the broadcast time of this program has been complained about by viewers not a few times.

After all, it's already ten o'clock at night; watching a food program at this time is simply self-torture.

But fortunately, although viewers complain, the program's viewership rating has always been not bad.

Han Lu sat somewhat unconcerned with her image on the office chair, which was quite different from her elegant and generous temperament on the television.

She leaned her head against the back of the chair, pinched her brow with her hand, and said with a tired tone: "Finally finished editing the sample episode; this kind of interview should never come a second time."

On the computer screen, the edited sample episode video was still playing; in the lens, Lu Feng was focused on kneading the dough, while Han Lu stood at Yi Pang, smiling, and talking nonstop to the lens doing explanations and introductions.

"Don't play it anymore, don't play it anymore!"

Since returning to the television station, Han Lu had been hearing her own nonstop explanation in the video by her ears; at this moment she only felt her head buzzing, and couldn't help but wave her hand somewhat irritably.

In Lu Feng's shop, she had been saying, saying, saying nonstop for a full one and a half hours, while Lu Feng didn't say a single word throughout; she felt she was just like a clown.

She looked at Wang Mo, who had just come back from smoking in the corridor outside, and said somewhat helplessly: "Editor Wang, the sample episode is finished; do you want to take a look?"

Wang Mo beside her pressed the pause key, copied the video into the U-disk, and then leaned back on the chair.

He had his arms crossed over his chest, his tone full of impatience: "This episode, whoever loves watching can watch it; I definitely won't watch it anyway."

As an editor-director, he had originally prepared a shooting outline, including some interactive content during the interview.

But Lu Feng's uncooperative attitude made all his plans useless; throughout, he only pointed at Han Lu alone to speak.

It was said to be interview filming, but what was filmed turned out like a documentary; this was absolutely not the result he wanted.

But he had no way; the initiative was in Lu Feng's hands; being able to edit the episode out and hand it in was already considered not bad.

Among the three people who went this time, the Cameraman should have been the easiest.

After all, this kind of filming was almost like filming still life; although different angles had to be changed during the process, it was still much easier to film than usual.

After returning to the television station, from one and a half hours of material, more than twenty minutes of duration was edited; the time spent editing the episode was less than one hour.

Now the sample episode has been completed; the Chief Editor is still waiting in the office.

Who goes to hand it in has become the problem they need to discuss right now.

"Han Host, you've worked hard today; I still have some things to be busy with; you go hand the sample episode to the Chief Editor."

Wang Mo pushed the U-disk toward Han Lu, smiling on his face as he said.

"Cut it out; you ran to the corridor to smoke and goof off for half an hour just now, how come I didn't see you had things to do?"

Han Lu rolled her eyes, one sentence exposed Wang Mo's excuse, reached out and pushed the U-disk back: "You go hand it in if it needs handing in; I'm definitely not going; I have urgent matters in a while."

Of course, her saying she had urgent matters was also an excuse.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts; although the sample episode had been edited, they were both a bit unsure about the video's content.

More than twenty minutes of duration, all of it was Han Lu speaking nonstop facing the lens.

And on Lu Feng's side, not only did he not say a single word, there were even few shots of him facing the lens directly.

If such content was seen by the Chief Editor later, who knows he might get scolded again.

The two looked at the U-disk on the table, both feeling this was a hot potato.

"Sigh..."

Wang Mo sighed, saying helplessly: "How does Chief Editor Chen think, finding such a temperamental Boss who doesn't cooperate with us at all; the episode filmed like this, it's strange if it can pass!"

"You also know you'll get scolded if you go, so why do you still let me go hand it in?"

Han Lu retorted unhappily.

The two deadlocked for a few more minutes; the mobile phone Wang Mo placed on the table rang once.

He picked up the mobile phone and looked, smiling bitterly as he showed it to Han Lu: "Chief Editor Chen is urging again; this hurdle can't be avoided after all."

Han Lu looked, suddenly stood up from the chair, her tone carrying the meaning of smashing the pot and smashing it: "Alright alright, let's not waste time here anymore; let's go together! If the Chief Editor wants to scold someone later, we'll get scolded together; it's always better than being scolded alone."

Wang Mo also stood up following; the two walked together to the door of the Chief Editor Office.

The two deadlocked at the door for a while.

"You're here, you knock on the door."

Wang Mo bumped Han Lu with his arm, indicating with his eyes.

"Why don't you knock? You're the editor-director of the program; if knocking on the door, it should be you who knocks."

Han Lu immediately stepped back one step, lowering her voice with an unwilling face as she said.

"You're the host; the one who shows their face on television is you, not me; you knock!"

Wang Mo also lowered his voice and retorted.

The two pushed and yielded back and forth for a long time; finally Wang Mo gave in, biting the bullet and raising his hand to knock on the office door.

"Come in."

Inside came Chief Editor Chen's steady voice.

Wang Mo and Han Lu outside the door silently looked at each other; both saw nervousness in each other's eyes.

After pushing the door open, the two lowered their heads and walked in one after the other; their appearance was like students walking into a teacher's office.

The Chief Editor put down the documents in his hand, raised his head and looked at them: "How is it, is the episode edited?"

"Edited."

Wang Mo hurriedly handed over the U-disk, his tone somewhat nervous: "Director Chen, you take a look; if there's anywhere that needs adjustment, we'll go back and adjust it."

Han Lu followed behind Wang Mo without speaking, but couldn't help nervously clenching her fists, feeling anxious inside.

In the Chief Editor Office, Wang Mo and Han Lu sat on the chairs opposite, not daring to take a breath.

Chief Editor Chen watched the sample episode in silence, then moved his gaze from the computer onto the two people opposite.

Neither of them dared to meet Chief Editor Chen's eyes, immediately lowering their heads.

During the time Chief Editor Chen watched the sample episode just now, both of them had already prepared themselves to be scolded at any moment, even thinking about how to write self-criticisms later.

After all, the edited sample episode didn't look like an interview at all, but rather like a documentary.

The air in the office seemed to quiet down; after several seconds, Chief Editor Chen finally showed a smile and slowly said, "This sample episode was shot well, you've worked hard."

Hearing these words, the two were first stunned, then simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, the stone in their hearts landing with a clang.

Fortunately, fortunately, the chief editor was satisfied with the sample episode, and the sample episode finally passed.

"You two go back and arrange it, and it will be broadcast tomorrow."

Chief Editor Chen nodded with satisfaction, continuing to speak to the two people opposite.

"Okay, Chief Editor, I'll arrange it when I go back, ensuring it airs on time tomorrow."

Wang Mo put away the expression on his face and immediately replied respectfully.

But the words Chief Editor Chen said next left the two, who had just relaxed, stunned again.
