Fearing he would be late for the meeting, Zou Rong floored the gas pedal the whole way.

Fang Ruoxi arrived at the TV tower 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

Director Zhou's assistant was waiting for them at the main entrance on the first floor. As soon as they arrived, he handed them their access passes without saying a word.

"Quickly, 56th floor, conference room 5607. After exiting the elevator, go straight and turn left."

Every time the elevator stopped at a floor, the two of them were extremely anxious. Finally, they reached the 56th floor, with only 7 minutes left.

The two of them, wearing five-centimeter high heels, were still able to run at full speed, and following the reminder from Director Zhou's assistant, they reached the meeting room door in 3 minutes.

Director Zhou was waiting at the conference room door. When he saw Fang Ruoxi arrive, with nearly five minutes left, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiaomeng was panting heavily and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Fang Ruoxi tidied her slightly messy hair.

Director Zhou, seeing that everything was fine, pulled the person directly into the conference room.

As soon as the door opened, the leaders who were already sitting inside all looked over.

Seeing that it was Director Zhou who brought Fang Ruoxi in, they all indifferently withdrew their gazes.

Director Zhou's words of introduction for Fang Ruoxi stuck in his throat.

“Oh, it’s true that ‘seeing is believing’,” a female leader said from her seat in the conference room.

She was dressed in a black women's business suit, which accentuated her competence, but her sarcastic tone revealed a hint of arrogance.

Director Zhou was worried that Fang Ruoxi was too young to handle the situation, so he quickly spoke up for her, "Section Chief Lu, this young Fang just got off the plane and came straight here. Look, she's brought glory to the country in Country A."

Lu Jing is the section chief of the music station's editorial department.

This meeting requires considering the opinions of multiple departments within the station, and she occupies a seat on behalf of the editorial department.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jing did not reply to Director Zhou, but instead said to a male colleague beside her, "Nowadays, many artists are talented but lack virtue. If you ask me, it would be better for such people to be mediocre in talent but have better morals. Don't you think so?"

The male leader smiled but didn't say anything.

Director Zhou is more than 20 years older than Lu Jing, and this is the first time he has been humiliated in public like this. He is quite embarrassed.

"Please have a seat. The leader will be here soon, and then we can begin," someone said, trying to smooth things over.

Director Zhou pulled Fang Ruoxi to sit in an empty seat.

As a result, Section Chief Lu spoke up again.

“Zhou Wen can sit, but that other person, she joined at the last minute, we don’t have any extra seats for her, right? Why don’t we let her stand, the meeting isn’t long anyway.”

Director Zhou's smile vanished, and he looked expressionlessly at Lu Jing, who was holding a thermos.

That look was exactly like when she was on Hunan TV, ready to tear into the deputy director.

This time, it was Fang Ruoxi's turn to grab Zhou Wen's hand.

In her past life, she had dealt with official channels before.

Even some big names have to swallow their pride on official channels, so now that she has achieved neither success nor fame, she can't afford to act out of spite or fight over a short-term advantage.

However, Fang Ruoxi did not completely let Section Chief Lu 'manipulate' her.

She silently pulled Director Zhou to sit down with her.

The main message is, "I won't argue with you, but I'll just sit down. Can you really move the chair out from under my butt?"

Seeing Fang Ruoxi sit down directly, Lu Jing slammed the thermos cup in her hand heavily onto the conference table with a 'bang'.

Many people were so surprised that they looked up at her.

Lu Jing said, "Heh, I don't think there's any need to hold this meeting now. Let's just leave it at that and get out of here."

She noticed that everyone else was looking at her.

Lu Jing was about to give a long speech, but when the time came, several high-ranking leaders who were not present pushed open the door and came in.

Everyone received a thermos issued by the TV tower; the colors were different, but all the cups had the official TV station's logo printed on them.

Upon seeing the leader arrive, everyone in the room stood up simultaneously.

The leader saw Zhou Wen immediately upon entering.

The high-ranking leader didn't even sit down; he walked directly to Zhou Wen and shook her hand.

"Director Zhou, your program is doing quite well."

"The music channel's ratings haven't been this high in years, hahaha."

The people in the room, as if they had been trained, were all laughing together.

Zhou Wen also laughed, "Hey, it's all thanks to Xiao Fang's idea, otherwise I almost went to that music platform that the 'Big Three' co-founded."

The smile on the top leader's face faded when the topic of the television station founded by the "Three Greats" was brought up.

Zhou Wen quickly pointed to Fang Ruoxi, "Look, it's her, Xiao Fang. Fang Ruoxi is both talented and smart!"

The senior leader looked at Fang Ruoxi but did not comment.

Fang Ruoxi also nodded and greeted the leader with composure, saying, "Hello, leader."

The senior leader was about to speak when he was about to say something.

As a result, Section Chief Lu, who had somehow somehow appeared next to Minister Lin, quickly interjected:

"Minister, you're pressed for time, let's get straight to the point. Don't waste your time on this small matter."

Section Chief Lu, initially respectful but later arrogant, invited Minister Lin to the head seat.

Zhou Wen was furious and couldn't help but whisper to Fang Ruoxi, "It's a waste of Section Chief Lu's talents to work in the music station's editorial department."

"With these skills, you could easily become a Grand Eunuch in ancient times."

Fang Ruoxi: "..." She was a professional and couldn't laugh.

Minister Lin sat down and got straight to the point, "Good, Director Zhou has brought the people here, that makes things easier."

"Fang Ruoxi, right? Congratulations! You got the number one spot on the Western hit song chart in Country A. That's really impressive."

"In Asia, many composers have always wanted to win the Game Award, but they have all failed to make it onto this month's hottest songs chart (Europe and America)."

The leader unscrewed his thermos, wanting to take a sip of water.

Then, Lu Jing interjected, "Boss, may I say something?"

She looked around at everyone present and said, "Well, Fang Ruoxi's song is only in first place for now. Let me explain, in case some of the leaders here are unaware of this."

"Her songs could be pulled from the charts at any time as long as this month isn't over."

This time, Zhou Wen was truly enraged, and even Fang Ruoxi couldn't stop him.

Zhou Wen immediately applauded.

The sudden applause immediately drew everyone's attention to her.

Zhou Wen wasn't embarrassed at all; his eyes crinkled with a smile, showing no sign of anger. He gave Lu Jing a thumbs-up and said:

"Section Chief Lu is still strict with himself. Our Minister Lin only said that no one in Asia has ever reached the number one position."

Section Chief Lu directly demanded that we get first place. Okay!

Some leaders simply picked up their thermos cups to hide the involuntary upturn of their lips.

Lu Jing's smile was a little stiff. "I'm just stating the facts. I'm being blunt and direct. Director Zhou, being a big name, might not like it."

Minister Lin cleared his throat. "Ahem."

Both sides fell silent.

Minister Lin looked at Fang Ruoxi and said, "Let's get back to the main topic."

“There’s some negative news about you online this time, but I don’t know much about it. So, since you’re the person involved, please explain it, and then the station can make a decision based on the situation.”

Fang Ruoxi was about to say "okay" when Lu Jing spoke up again.

"Boss, let me say one more thing. Please don't find me annoying. I'm just thinking about the station's interests."

Minister Lin nodded. "Go on."

"Here's the thing, the main reason we're holding this meeting is because we've received a lot of complaints from viewers. These complaints directly state that Fang Ruoxi has flaws in her professional ethics and character, and suggest that the station should blacklist such an artist!"

"So as not to corrupt our youth!"

She spoke with great passion and fervor.

Zhou Wen was furious; he jumped up, ready to confront the situation directly.

Fang Ruoxi also stood up and reached out to press down on Director Zhou's shoulder.

This time, she did it herself.
