Chapter 201 This World is Not Kind
Neon lights flickered in the night as Lin Fan sat in the passenger seat with his eyes closed.
He had been drinking, so naturally, Li Huizhen had to drive, and in the quiet car, neither had spoken a word.
"The staffing issue is resolved, but you don’t seem happy," she said.
Somewhat sobered up, Lin Fan opened his eyes and lit a cigarette he took from the center console.
"I am happy... it’s just that what we did to Cai Shuli tonight, was it too much? After all, we’re in the business of faces, and Director Bai even deformed her surgically enhanced nose so much that it might have lasting effects even after another surgery."
Recalling the image of Cai Shuli pleading on her knees, Li Huizhen couldn’t help but feel a twinge of pain.
"Do you still have time to worry about others? If it hadn’t been for Director Wang, you would have been assigned to the midnight news tomorrow. Do you think if I didn’t have these connections, she would have just been talking tough and not really plan a program to slander me? Let me tell you, she definitely would have. She would ruin my career to regain her influence in her family. Does someone like that deserve forgiveness?"
Lin Fan took a drag from his cigarette and scoffed, "The world isn’t kind. If you don’t have absolute power, it’s best to keep your sympathy to yourself because if we were in a disadvantaged position, they would not let us off easily. Just think about it, she and you started at the TV station in the same year. Why does she have a staff position and you don’t? Is it really just because of work performance?"
