After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 402 The First Sister

"Thank you all for your support during this time. Without your help, I wouldn't be where I am today. I hope to work even better with you all in the future and make our program the best it can be!"

Zhao Qiaoqiao was beaming with joy.

The station has released its news.

She became the leading lady of "Family Matters" and one of the three hosts heavily promoted by the lifestyle channel.

This left many people present feeling uneasy.

Everyone turned their attention to Qiao Suiqing in the back row.

Over the past two years, her hard work has made this program a success, turning it into a core program on the lifestyle channel.

Unexpectedly, a person with connections took her place after only six months.

What a bully!
Zhao Qiaoqiao's character was truly appalling. She glanced at Qiao Suiqing and said with a smile, "Here, I especially want to thank Suiqing. Although her ratings have declined now, we cannot deny her past achievements. I have learned a lot of hosting skills and lessons from her. In the future, I hope that Suiqing and I can work together to improve the program under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Lin!"

Let's clap.

Lin Guiyan led the applause.

However, the applause was sparse.

Editor-in-Chief Lin's expression darkened slightly. He glanced at the scene, then turned around and looked around again.

The colleagues in the office then burst into applause and cheered enthusiastically.

Qiao Suiqing smiled and clapped.

Zhou Haoran crossed his arms and didn't clap. Observing from the sidelines, he actually spotted two other people who, like him, didn't clap: Hu Xiaochen and Hong Zhenru.

"Thank you all for your support. I will definitely do a better job hosting our program in the future! Thank you!"

Zhao Qiaoqiao bowed and stepped down from the stage.

Another round of applause.

The significance of being called the "Number One Host" lies in the status of the program "Family Matters." She has priority in selecting good topics. She can also represent "Family Matters" and participate in and attend some of the station's events. As a key host being groomed by the lifestyle channel, she will also have opportunities to host important galas.

Qiao Suiqing's hosting career has entered the second tier.

After the meeting, Zhao Qiaoqiao ran over briskly and apologized, "Suiqing, I'm sorry, you're not angry, are you?"

"No."

Qiao Suiqing smiled, not wanting to get entangled with her any further.

Zhao Qiaoqiao said seriously, "Suiqing, don't worry. If you come across any good topics in the future, you can come and discuss them with me, and I will give you the opportunity."

"Well, thank you."

Qiao Suiqing glanced at Zhou Haoran in the distance, her eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Zhao Qiaoqiao seemed very concerned about the attitude of her colleagues in the office, and deliberately said loudly, "Suiqing, I promise you. If there are any good hosting opportunities at the station in the future, and I'm not suitable, I'll recommend you first!"

"Ok."

Qiao Suiqing responded with a smile.

Zhao Qiaoqiao's eyes darted around, and she said cheerfully, "By the way, Suiqing, I have an opportunity right now, and you're definitely suitable!"

"There's no need..."

Qiao Suiqing's interest in hosting has been worn down by recent programs.

"Really, you're perfect for it. Mr. Zhang from Antarctica is getting married this weekend, and you should be the MC. It'll be 1200 yuan a night! I was originally going to ask me, but I think you're suitable! Suiqing, I'll take good care of you in the future!"

Zhao Qiaoqiao looked concerned.

It's as if she's become the top star.

"okay!"

A cold voice interrupted her earnest words.

In the office, many people disapproved of Zhao Qiaoqiao's behavior, but she had powerful connections. It was said that she had a close relationship with a leader in the station and often frequented high-end hotels.

Hu Xiaochen wasn't about to tolerate her. Dressed in a white shirt and black pencil skirt, she walked over in high heels, her demeanor aloof and arrogant. "Zhao Qiaoqiao, don't you know the rules? The station has clear regulations prohibiting hosts from accepting paid commercial activities outside the station. What are you trying to do?"

Zhao Qiaoqiao was genuinely a little afraid of her, and forced a smile, "Rules are rules, but which of these hosts at the station doesn't take on some commercial gigs? This salary alone isn't enough!"

"That's you!" Hu Xiaochen sneered coldly. "You want to make money by hosting weddings? Does Suiqing need that? Zhou Haoran is the top salesman; he earns more in a month than you do in a year! You're showing off everywhere? Go back to your place!"

"I meant well..."

Zhao Qiaoqiao was given a severe scolding, and her face turned red.

Qiao Suiqing smiled slightly at her, then looked up at Zhou Haoran, "It's almost noon, shall we go get a cup of coffee?"

"go!"

Zhou Haoran left this place of trouble with her.

Zhao Qiaoqiao, standing behind him, gritted her teeth.

Let's go to the coffee shop in the courtyard.

"Haoran, go home early tonight. The last episode of the 'Abandoned Baby Girl' series is airing."

Qiao Suiqing made a small request.

Zhou Haoran usually spends a few hours with Aunt Wan and Teacher Jiang every night, so he usually gets home quite late. "Okay, let's go home together then."

"Let's invite Hu Xiaochen too."

Qiao Suiqing lowered her eyes and drank her coffee.

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was taken aback, and asked tentatively, "Should we let her come to our house?"

Qiao Suiqing nodded slightly, "Let her come and watch the show with us."

"Does it fit?"

Zhou Haoran felt a little guilty.

"Isn't she your apprentice? What's inappropriate about her?"

Qiao Suiqing gave a half-smile.

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "Yeah, right!"

Qiao Suiqing rolled her eyes at him and lowered her voice, "You and her...did you already...did you do that a long time ago?"

"no!"

Zhou Haoran said resolutely.

"Really?" Qiao Suiqing was skeptical and snorted. "I'm your sister. If there's anything, just be honest about it. There's no need to hide anything."

Zhou Haoran never lied to her, so he said frankly, "Sis, it's really not true!"

"What about later?"

"what!"

"Stop whining!" Qiao Suiqing glared at her.

Zhou Haoran said in a low voice, "Her birthday is on the 20th of this month. We'll see how things go then."

"Oh..." Qiao Suiqing lowered her head and understood what was going on. She slowly said, "The Tomson Villa in Pudong is almost ready. We can move in now."

"Good thing!"

"Here's what I'm thinking: we'll stay here during the week and then go to the big house over there on weekends and holidays."

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Zhou Haoran quickly expressed his opinion.

Qiao Suiqing said softly, "Such a big villa, with seven or eight bedrooms. It's too empty for just the two of us. When we go there, we can invite everyone over."

Zhou Haoran's heart skipped a beat. "Who is it?"

“Hu Xiaochen, Qiao Nuo…” Qiao Suiqing gave him a deep look, “If you have any other mistresses outside, invite them over too. It’s the weekend, so let’s get together and get to know them.”

She had known all along that this guy had someone else on the side.

Nothing was said.

Things are different now; they're engaged.

Then you'll have an identity.

She's about to get involved in family management.

Zhou Haoran was a little uneasy and asked cautiously, "Is this okay? Sis, don't tease me. It would be bad if you got angry and things ended badly."

Qiao Suiqing retorted, "When have you ever seen me angry?"

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran thought about it and realized it was true.

I've never seen Qingmei angry. Even when she is, she usually just sullen and doesn't express her emotions.

Qiao Suiqing raised her chin, with a hint of arrogance, "You're my younger brother. When you have time, bring your wives over, two, three, or even four or five, bring them all over for your older sister to see!"

Zhou Haoran laughed.

That very night, he actually brought his two apprentices, Hu Xiaochen and Qiao Nuo, home.

The welfare housing here is fully equipped.

The four of them worked together, cooking at home.

It's 8 PM, and we're all gathered in front of the TV to watch the final episode of the "Abandoned Babies" series.

This episode is a little different from usual.

Half of the filming was on location.

Qiao Suiqing served as the on-site reporter.

The program opens with footage of a courtroom, where a judge is delivering a verdict in public.

"First, the two-year-old girl Zhang Nannan is the daughter of the plaintiff Qi Fengxia. The plaintiff's abandonment of her biological daughter two years ago is an illegal act and should be condemned by society. Second, Qi Fengxia has paid Zhang Guilan a total of 6526 yuan for child support and medical expenses over the past two years. Third, the girl Zhang Nannan is to be raised by her biological mother Qi Fengxia. The money and goods donated to Zhang Nannan by the society totaling 63,854 yuan are to be kept by Qi Fengxia and used for Zhang Nannan's living expenses and future education."

Just like the expert's prediction in the third episode.

Grandma Zhang did not have legal adoption procedures.

She has no custody rights.

The scene shifts to a female bailiff walking up to Grandma Zhang and carefully taking the child from her arms. The moment the bailiff took the child, Grandma Zhang began to sob.

The child burst into loud crying.

Qi Fengxia happily took the child from the female bailiff's arms, looking smug, completely ignoring the child's crying.

Then came the filming outside the courthouse.

Qiao Suiqing, a reporter, stepped forward with a microphone: "Hello Qi Fengxia, congratulations on winning the lawsuit."

Qi Fengxia didn't want to be held, and struggled all the way, which annoyed her and made her look very unpleasant.

Upon seeing the television reporter, he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you to the court, thank you to the television station, thank you everyone."

Qiao Suiqing asked, "Could you talk about why you won the case?"

Qi Fengxia said, "Justice has triumphed over evil. I'm right. The child is mine, so of course he should belong to me."

Qiao Suiqing asked again, "Why is the child crying?"

Qi Fengxia was a little embarrassed. She rolled her eyes and patted the child, saying, "The child is small and scared."

Qiao Suiqing then became blunt, asking sharply, "Can you tell us why you abandoned the child in the first place?"

Qi Fengxia's eyes widened.

Qiao Suiqing smiled and said, "Of course, we know you must have your own difficulties."

"Yes, I've had a tough time too, I've faced many difficulties."

Qi Fengxia breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found a way out.

Qiao Suiqing pressed further, "What difficulties?"

Qi Fengxia stammered, feeling like she had fallen into a reporter's trap. She began to avoid the cameras and microphones, and walked out with her child between her legs.

I don't want to do any more interviews.

As the host, Qiao Suiqing also needed to have the skills of a reporter. She immediately followed up, held out the microphone, and loudly asked, "Ms. Qi Fengxia, will you throw your child away again?"

There were many people at the scene, including many local TV stations and newspapers. The question immediately resonated with everyone.

Qi Fengxia didn't say anything, covered her face with one hand and tucked the child under her arm with the other, and squeezed her way out.

"If you don't answer this question, is it because you're not sure yourself?"

"You can't be sure you can love this child like a mother, right?"

"You committed the crime of abandonment, do you know that?"

Do you think your child will like you?

"You don't know how to hold a baby at all!"

"Qi Fengxia, if there were no donations from the public, would you still come back to ask for your child back?"

Qiao Suiqing's question was like a barrage of artillery fire.

Unable to cope, Qi Fengxia became enraged and threw the child she was carrying under her arm to the ground. Then, she opened her arms and tried to tear at Qiao Suiqing.

Fortunately, there were many media colleagues nearby who blocked her view.

Qi Fengxia was furious and couldn't find an outlet for her anger, so she turned around and slapped the two-year-old girl across the face, making the child stagger and not cry for a long time.

Everyone present was stunned.
