Chapter 4026: Chapter 4014: Three Hot Topics

Upon hearing Yan Ci’s words, Lin Yi suddenly remembered that when he first started working here, he chatted with Yan Ci about this place.

She said at the time that she resigned because she had a conflict with the station’s principal and simply left.

Back then, he wanted to know who this person was and see what kind of deity he was.

But due to being too busy, he forgot about it.

Unexpectedly, he proactively appeared now.

"So he’s the person you were talking about."

Yan Ci nodded, "But it doesn’t matter anymore. So much time has passed, and I’ve accomplished things, so I don’t care about him anymore."

"But I see that he seems quite enthusiastic towards you."

"He’s like that with other women too. It’s just that kind of thing, I didn’t indulge him back then."

"As long as he doesn’t cause trouble for you."

"mua... thanks, Director Lin, for backing me up."

"Just perform well tonight."

"Ah, I wonder if I can still catch Director Lin’s eye now."

"Why do you say that?"

"I’m getting old and not as appealing as those young girls."

Lin Yi smiled, "Why do I feel like there’s a hidden meaning in your words."

"Be honest, has Yang Wantong been looking for you these days?"

"Looking for me?" Lin Yi was dumbfounded by the question, "What’s up, why would she be looking for me?"

"That young lady is quite interested in you. You don’t even have to make a move; just give her a signal, and she’ll come to you."

"I haven’t thought about it that way."

"It’s okay to think, you’re still young, experience more."

"You are quite generous."

Lin Jiang drove, taking Yan Ci to have dinner. They chose a Western restaurant, originally planning to watch a movie, but since there wasn’t anything interesting, they tacitly went to a hotel.

Around midnight, their encounter ended.

Yan Ci was exhausted and fell asleep heavily, while Lin Yi drove home.

Over the next few days, Lin Yi’s work was routine, continuously searching for suitable materials.

"Principal Lin, I would like to request a leave."

As soon as he returned to the office, Yang Wantong followed him in.

"Alright, how many days are you requesting?"

"Is three days okay?"

"Three days..."

If it were someone else, Lin Yi wouldn’t even think about it.

But Yang Wantong is different from others. She’s the host of the program, and her work cannot be replaced. Taking such a long leave isn’t easy to handle.

"Principal Lin, don’t think too much, handle it officially, just deduct my salary."

"It’s not about the salary. As the host, frankly speaking, the program can do without me, but not without you." Lin Yi said with a smile:

"You need to understand your importance."

Yang Wantong tidied her hair, feeling delighted by Lin Yi’s words.

"What exactly is the reason for the leave? Is it convenient to share? Can you compress the time a bit?"

"Something happened at home. I’m planning to find a lawyer in the next few days to handle family matters."

"What happened that requires a lawyer?"

Lin Yi gestured for Yang Wantong to sit down and talk.

After tidying her hair, Yang Wantong sat on a chair.

"Actually, my family is from the countryside, mainly reliant on raising chickens to sustain life. But there’s a person in our village who gradually collected over 500 chickens and lots of eggs from us, totaling over 30,000 yuan, and hasn’t paid for more than a year. My parents don’t know what to do, so they asked me what to do. Given the situation, we can only sue, but my parents are peasants and know nothing about it, so I have to handle it."

"Judging from what you’ve said, you’ve encountered a village bully?"

"You could say so. That person has some reputation in the village. They are four brothers, really domineering in the village."

Lin Yi pondered and said to Yang Wantong:

"I think this is good material, and I’d like to seek your opinion on whether the team can go over and shoot?"

Yang Wantong didn’t expect Lin Yi to make such a request.

"No problem. But can you not show my parents’ faces when shooting? I don’t want them exposed."

"No problem, not showing their faces or even using pseudonyms for their names would be fine, as long as you agree," Lin Yi replied.

"No problem then."

"You don’t have to worry about the debt, I’ll help you resolve it. During the shooting, you can tag along with me."

"Thank you, Principal Lin."

Lin Yi checked the time, "The timing is just right. Could you contact your parents and find out where the person who owes you money is now, then we’ll head over."

"Got it, thank you, Principal Lin."

Yang Wantong left, and Lin Yi felt this material was excellent and counted as a social hotspot event, meeting the system’s task assessment criteria.

About half an hour later, Yang Wantong returned.

"Principal Lin, I’ve contacted them. That person is in the village, about 60 kilometers from here, over an hour’s drive."

Lin Yi checked the time, "It’s past ten in the morning now, we should be able to arrive by noon, let’s set off."

"Alright."

Confirming the content to be interviewed, Lin Yi briefed it to Yue Sijing and others.

The latter prepared the equipment for shooting, and about half an hour later, the group set off.

Around 12 noon, everyone arrived in Baishan County, had a quick lunch, and headed towards Red Willow Village, which is under Baishan County.

When arriving at Yang Wantong’s house, her parents were already waiting at the door.

Compared to the glamorous Yang Wantong, her parents appeared quite humble.

Seeing their daughter back, the elderly couple was full of smiles, extremely delighted.

"Mom, let me introduce you, this is Principal Lin Yi, and these three are my colleagues..."

Yang Wantong introduced everyone, getting to know each other’s names.

"Thank you for taking care of our Tongtong at your workplace."

"Uncle Yang, no need to be polite." Lin Yi replied with a smile:

"Where is the person who owes you money? We’ll go there now, and try to get the money back for you quickly."

"He’s at the village’s store; I asked for it this morning, and he didn’t give it, just claimed he has no money and told me to wait a few more days."

Yang Wantong’s father sighed, "He says that every time, back and forth for over a year, a total of 32,000 yuan, giving me only 2,000, dragging it out like this, I’m irritated."

"Leave the matter to us, show us the way first."

"Alright, alright."

Led by Yang Wantong’s father, the group reached the village’s small store.

Before even entering, the inside was already noisy.

Lin Yi’s exceptional hearing allowed him to discern people inside playing mahjong.

Ha, these people are quite laidback.
