Chapter 24 Zhang Wei Gets Angry
However, after hearing what Zhang Wei said, Cui Rui showed astonishment on her face, and she responded indignantly: "Director Zhang, it is really inappropriate for you to do this." Then, she raised her voice and asked: "You actually let me partner with an unknown newcomer?" Obviously, Cui Rui was very dissatisfied with such an arrangement.
Since the competition system of this program is set up as a pair to compete with other groups, and if the assigned partner is a well-known person, the individual's exposure will naturally increase accordingly.
Therefore, everyone is eager to fight alongside teammates with higher reputation.
However, to Cui Rui's surprise, Zhang Wei actually chose to pair her up with a rookie, a decision that Cui Rui really found difficult to agree with.
Facing Cui Rui's indignation, Zhang Wei went on to explain: "This newcomer has a backer. If we can't do this properly, and they start to make trouble, we will all be in trouble."
Despite this, Cui Rui still refused to give in and said, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry that I can't comply with your request."
Finally, Cui Rui said angrily: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can report the situation directly to Mr. Zhang tonight."
After saying that, Cui Rui walked out of the conference room door without looking back. Looking at her leaving back, Zhang Wei's face instantly became extremely gloomy, and an uncontrollable anger rose up.
"Humph! How dare you use Zhang Fang to pressure me? Have you forgotten who made you famous?" Zhang Wei said angrily. He had just stepped out of the meeting room when he caught a glimpse of another guest passing by with his assistant.
The guest was Zheng Min. When she saw Zhang Wei’s angry face, her heart tightened and she prayed secretly that she could escape from this place as soon as possible.
After all, Zheng Min was originally an artist managed by Zeng Xiangqi, but since Zeng Xiangqi was fired for offending others, the company transferred her to Zhang Wei. As we all know, the relationship between Zhang Wei and Zeng Xiangqi has always been very tense.
Since the transfer, Zheng Min has been tortured. Not only has she been frequently troubled by various difficult problems, but she has also heard some rumors that she will be replaced after the recording of this program.
At this moment, seeing Zheng Min hurriedly passing by him without even a greeting, Zhang Wei was immediately furious. When he was about to curse, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind: since Cui Rui refuses to cooperate, let her take over first!
Then, he raised his voice and shouted at Zheng Min who was speeding up: "Stop!"
Then, he ordered loudly: "Zheng Min, come in!"
When Zheng Min heard Zhang Wei calling her name, she couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Why am I so unlucky?"
Seeing this, the assistant beside him also hurriedly stopped. Zheng Min turned around helplessly, looked at Zhang Wei and asked, "Director Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhang Wei replied expressionlessly: "Come into the conference room. I have something to tell you."
Zheng Min sighed helplessly, as if the end of the world had come, and followed Zhang Wei into the conference room with heavy steps. The assistant tactfully waited outside the door.
After entering the meeting room, Zheng Min closed the door, then walked up to Zhang Wei with a forced smile, forced out a standard professional smile, and asked, "Director Zhang, what is the important matter?"
Zhang Wei nodded slightly, asked Zheng Min to sit down first, and then said slowly: "This is what happened..."
He recounted the whole story in detail. Zheng Min became more and more confused as she listened, and finally asked in confusion, "You want me to partner with a newbie who has no cooking skills at all? Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Wei said in a deep voice: "That's true. The newcomers have backgrounds. If we make a mistake, once they start a fight, none of us will be able to have an easy time."
He continued, "Zheng Min, you have always been good at handling interpersonal relationships. You are very adept at this. With your ability, you will definitely be able to take good care of people."
Zheng Min subconsciously said, "What do you mean by easy? It's because you always make things difficult for me."
However, before he finished speaking, Zheng Min suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and looked at Zhang Wei in front of him in horror, fearing that he would anger him.
Zhang Wei raised his lips slightly and chuckled: "Hey, you, every time you deliberately tease me, do you think I really don't understand? It's just that you talk too much and I can't find any flaws."
"And that Cui Rui, she thinks she's so great just because she's with Zhang Fangbian that she can be so rude to me? Zheng Min, let me tell you, as long as you can serve the people well in this variety show, you will be my capable general in the future, and you can choose from all kinds of resources."
Listening to Zhang Wei's words, Zheng Min showed a skeptical look on her face. She knew that Cui Rui and Mr. Zhang had a close relationship, but Zhang Wei's promise to her of so many benefits made her feel like she had written a blank check that could not be cashed.
Although she still had her doubts in her heart, under Zhang Wei's soft and hard tactics, Zheng Min finally gritted her teeth and agreed to the matter.
When Zheng Min stepped out of the meeting room, the assistant who had been waiting outside hurriedly followed her. Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from the office, she finally couldn't help but asked, "Sister Min, did Director Zhang cause you any trouble?" However, Zheng Min was lost in thought because of her conversation with Zhang Wei just now, and was completely unaware of the assistant's question.
Seeing Zheng Min remained silent, the assistant mistakenly thought that she had suffered some kind of injustice or difficulty, and angrily cursed Zhang Wei fiercely at the ground. After cursing, he quickly quickened his pace to catch up with Zheng Min and followed her closely.
In the meeting room, Zhang Wei leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief. He thought to himself, "Finally, everything has been arranged properly." However, his thoughts turned and he thought of the person named Cui Rui again.
This woman actually relied on her close relationship with Zhang Fang to give him a cold shoulder? Humph, just wait and see. When the time is right, he will naturally find a way to punish her and let her know how powerful he is.
Not long after, Lin Yunzhu was awakened, and then the staff began to get busy.
After dinner, Lan Yaoxia returned to her villa. When she opened the door, the house was dark, and it was obvious that Li Jinxi had not returned yet.
Lan Yaoxia looked at the darkness in the room and calmly pressed the switch to turn on the light in the living room.
Then, she sat on the sofa leisurely, turned on the TV, and waited for the show to be broadcast, because she remembered that Lin Yunzhu had mentioned that tonight was the premiere night of the show.
After switching to Aiqi TV, a few advertisements flashed on the screen, and then the program segment "Welcome Chefs into the Kitchen" began.
