After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 534 Why did you mess with him?
Zhou Haoran first went to see Miao Yingjie, the deputy director of Red Star TV.

"How about..." Bai Panyang hesitated, "...we should just forget about it?"

Zhou Haoran said, "What are you afraid of? Weren't you quite courageous when you defied me back then?"

"You still say?!"

Bai Panyang was so angry when she heard this that she almost died of anger.

"It's alright, I'll solve the problem for you once and for all! Otherwise, a young and beautiful female host like you would easily be targeted if you didn't have a powerful backer."

Zhou Haoran was not intimidated at all.

"Then be careful. If Director Miao gets angry, just take a detour and come back. Don't make things worse."

Bai Panyang was a little worried.

I went with him to Deputy Director Miao Yingjie's office.

However, she didn't go in; instead, she hid outside to investigate.

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking three times, Zhou Haoran pushed the door open and entered.

There was someone in Miao Yingjie's office; it was unclear whether he was meeting with a guest or receiving a report from a subordinate. He was furious that someone had barged in: "Did I let you in? Get out!"

"I am Zhou Haoran."

Zhou Haoran stood at the door, his expression indifferent.

"Zhou Haoran?" Miao Yingjie was taken aback for a moment, then looked closely and realized that the man looked familiar. His attitude immediately softened, and he stood up, smiling as he said, "Oh, Haoran! What's up?"

Then, he waved to the lady across the sofa and said in a very authoritative manner, "Xiao Zhao, you can go back first. The funding you requested is still pending approval."

"No need, I just want to say a few words." Zhou Haoran stood at the door, giving him a cold look, and said indifferently, "Deputy Director Miao, I heard that you arranged for Bai Panyang to go out for a social event, to have dinner with some big boss from outside?"

Miao Yingjie's expression changed slightly. "Haoran, have you misunderstood?"

"I'm just asking you, do you have it?!"

Zhou Haoran is very assertive.

So much so that even the female colleague surnamed Zhao in the office was stunned, she really didn't expect there to be such a fierce person in the company who could talk to the leader like that.

Miao Yingjie said with a smile, "There are some things you may not know. Next week, the station will be holding its annual advertising sales conference, and the station also has some social obligations."

"I don't care about any of that." Zhou Haoran ignored his nonsense. "Did you send Bai Panyang to dinner with someone?"

Miao Yingjie got a little angry when she saw that he was unyielding.

Especially since there were female subordinates present.

If I lose face in front of her, how will I be able to control her in the future?
"Zhou Haoran, this is all work!"

Miao Yingjie spoke in a deep voice.

Zhou Haoran looked at him coldly, "So, you admit it?"

Miao Yingjie was furious. "You little comrade, how can you be so insensible? I've already told you, this is related to the station's advertising sales conference this year, it's the most important thing right now! Everyone in the station, including me, has to make thorough preparations for this sales conference!"

“Deputy Director Miao, I don’t care what your usual work style is like, but on ‘Everyone’s Art Up,’ all that shady stuff is unacceptable!”

Zhou Haoran showed him no respect whatsoever.

"Zhou Haoran, you're so insensible!" Miao Yingjie put on his superior airs and spoke in an official tone. "Where is your sense of organization and discipline? 'Everyone's Art' is not your territory; this is a program on Red Star TV!"

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "I'll just say one last thing: don't bother Bai Panyang! If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

In the office, Miao Yingjie, furious, slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Outrageous! Outrageous! You've made a little progress and you're already so arrogant!"

Then, Miao Yingjie went out and turned around.

She went to complain to Gu Hao.

"Director Gu, this Zhou Haoran has gone too far!"

Miao Yingjie was still angry.

"Zhou Haoran?" Gu Hao's expression was somewhat strange. "What happened to him?"

Miao Yingjie said angrily, "In order to plan this advertising investment conference, I arranged for several well-known hosts from the station to have dinner with the entrepreneurs. Among them was Bai Panyang from 'Everyone's Art.' I don't know what his relationship with Bai Panyang is, but he was like a gunpowder-fueled person. He came to my office and started yelling."

Gu Hao said helplessly, "Why did you provoke him?"

"He went too far!"

Miao Yingjie clenched his fist.

Gu Hao rubbed his forehead, trying to downplay the matter. "You know, if you go and mess with the host of someone's program, you should at least give them a heads-up. How can you make such a unilateral decision?"

"Ok?"

Miao Yingjie was stunned for a moment, but having been in the corporate world for many years, he immediately realized what was going on.

Gu Tai's tone is off!

This is biased support!

Moreover, it's obvious that they're siding with Zhou Haoran!
Gu Hao waved his hand dismissively and said, "Alright, I know about it, young man. I'll talk to him about it later and tell him to pay attention to his attitude at work in the future."

"Hmm..." Miao Yingjie twitched the corner of his mouth, his anger subsided, and he looked like a wilted eggplant, trying to save face. "That's true, why should I argue with a young man? He's hot-blooded... I believe he can correct his mistakes in the future."

Gu Hao looked at him with a half-smile, "Old Miao, don't touch anyone from 'Everyone's Art' anymore. This program is different from other programs."

Miao Yingjie's anger was like a lump of shit that he couldn't expel, so he swallowed it back. "Alright, Director Gu, you go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you anymore."

On the other side, the female section chief, Zhao Jiajia, ran over.

He caught up with Zhou Haoran.

"Zhou Haoran, wait a minute!"

"Who are you?" "I am Zhao Jiajia. You may not know me, but I am Hong Yi's lover."

Zhao Jiajia could also see that this young producer Zhou was quite remarkable!

"Hong Yi's wife?"

Zhou Haoran's eyes lit up and he smiled.

Hong Yi is the front-stage host of "Everyone's Art Up," while Qiao Suiqing and Bai Panyang are the back-stage hosts.

Zhao Jiajia chuckled and said, "Yes, it's me. I've always heard Hong Yi talk about you at home, saying you're amazing. Seeing you just now... I truly witnessed your brilliance!"

Zhou Haoran nodded, recalling the scene in the office earlier, and frowned slightly. "What's going on with Miao Yingjie? He seemed to be making things difficult for you?"

Zhao Jiajia forced a smile. "There's a 30 yuan grant in the department that was approved a long time ago, but he keeps finding excuses to hold it off."

Zhou Haoran could tell from physiognomy that the fat-headed Miao Yingjie was no good, and sneered, "Did I send you out to drink and socialize with him?"

"Um..." Zhao Jiajia looked embarrassed, troubled and helpless. "It's all work-related troubles."

Zhou Haoran said casually, "It's okay, I'll write you a note. You can take my note and go to Miao Yingjie to get the money approved."

"what?"

Zhao Jiajia was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Haoran said, "Let's go to my place. I'll write you a note. If Miao Yingjie doesn't approve it, just go directly to Gu Hao. He'll definitely approve it for you."

"Is this okay?"

Zhao Jiajia found it hard to believe. How could this Producer Zhou seem to have more power than the director and deputy director?
His tone was ridiculously arrogant!

"I'll write you a note, go see him this afternoon!"

Zhou Haoran couldn't just turn a blind eye. Zhao Jiajia was the wife of the host of "Everyone's Art Up," so she was practically one of his own. She was also a junior section chief in the advertising department, so he would need her in the future.

Even Bai Panyang found it unbelievable. On the way back to the program team, she whispered, "Can it really work?"

"a piece of cake!"

Zhou Haoran felt that this was something he could do effortlessly.

Bai Panyang said worriedly, "Don't be careless. I heard that Zhou Zhengqi is very rich, one of the richest men in the harbor. If he is really a top figure in high society, he may know a lot of leaders in the station. Don't let him cause you trouble."

Zhou Haoran said irritably, "A top-tier tycoon is right in front of you!"

“I know you’re rich, but…” Bai Panyang bit her lip, looking worried, “But I heard that he’s the richest man in the harbor.”

Zhou Haoran chuckled, "The richest man in the harbor wants you to be his girlfriend, and you don't even want to?"

Bai Panyang rolled her eyes at him. "Boring!"

As it turned out, Bai Panyang's guess was correct.

Zhou Zhengqi arrived at noon.

Without an access pass, they drove directly into the TV station compound, without even going to the parking lot, right in front of the Red Star Building.

He was driving a black Mercedes-Benz!

Very high-profile!

Employees from other units passing by would glance at it a few times; some were envious, some were curious, and some pointed and whispered...

Luxury cars were spotted outside the TV station.

This phenomenon is very common.

Every time a luxury car appears, it picks up a beautiful female colleague from work.

I wonder who they'll be picking up this time.

The real person hasn't appeared yet.

Several leaders from the station appeared.

There were seven or eight people in total, including the station director Shan Wendong, deputy station director Liu Yuanqing, editor-in-chief and deputy station director Huo Jingye, office director Zhang Jianfei, and deputy director of Red Star TV Miao Yingjie.

Everyone was all smiles.

Go and greet the distinguished guests.

Zhou Zhengqi is only in his thirties this year, and he's...very handsome!
He rose to power solely based on his looks.

A few years ago, he was a poor loser.

Later, he caught the eye of a wealthy woman and they got married. This wealthy woman was also quite remarkable; in her early years, she went south to make her way in the world and, thanks to her beauty, made many influential people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, and even recognized several godfathers.

By the 80s, he already had a net worth of tens of millions.

Later, he retired from the underworld and got divorced in the south. He withdrew from his original life in the underworld and returned to his hometown harbor to start anew. There, he met the handsome Zhou Zhengqi and remarried.

However, Zhou Zhengqi is truly capable.

He was very skilled at stock trading and speculation. Relying on his wife's wealth, he earned dozens of times his initial investment in the stock market in just a few years, becoming a well-known "richest man in the harbor".

Once you have money, you naturally become dissatisfied with your past identity.

The power dynamic in their marriage shifted; he became the one in charge and set his sights on a female host on Red Star TV.

Zhou Haoran saw him at the door. He was surprised to see so many leaders from the station there, all of them acting very friendly.

This suddenly reminded him of someone!

In his past life, there was a wealthy man from a harbor known as "Young Master Zhou." After being released from prison after serving more than ten years, he invited all the top hosts of Red Star TV to celebrate his 60th birthday, saying a lot of cheesy things.

As a result, the video was recorded and uploaded online, leading to the dismissal of all the popular hosts involved.

It was him!
