Urban Super Medical Saint-Chapter 543 - 542: Young man, do you know who you are talking to?
"Very well, you had a prior engagement with friends? Can you tell me which friends are more important than the leaders of the Broadcasting and Television Bureau? Do you realize that even the Director Hao from the Provincial Party Committee's Propaganda Department and Director Qiu from the Provincial Broadcasting and Television Bureau have cleared their schedules, and they will also rush over tonight? Is your little host's appointment more important than the affairs of Director Hao and Director Qiu?" Station Head Guo said with an ashen face.
"But…" Wu Shiyi was still young, and as Station Head Guo publicly berated her like this, tears were welling up in her eyes, rolling around but not falling.
"Alright, Wu Shiyi, stop talking. You'd better quickly apologize to Station Head Guo, and then hurry back and write a self-criticism," Xiao Shanshan said with schadenfreude in her heart, but she hurried out to play peacemaker on the surface.
"Station Head Guo, we will write the self-criticism when we go back. However, we truly did have a prior engagement this evening, and it would be somewhat inappropriate to cancel it at the last minute," Wu Longcai said, holding back Wu Shiyi who still wanted to speak, and he addressed Station Head Guo with a sincere attitude.
One level higher in office can crush a person!
Wu Longcai knew that if the situation escalated to this point and he continued to clash with Station Head Guo, if Station Head Guo decided to act without consideration for the consequences, not to mention a host like Wu Shiyi, even he as the director might be kicked out of the Entertainment Channel.
Although Wu Longcai's attitude was sincere, his words still seemed to Station Head Guo like he was wrestling with him, and his expression grew even uglier as he said, "It seems that my words as head of the station are useless!"
"Alright, Wu Longcai, you and your group had better head back first. Isn't it just a dinner? Just cancel with your friend for now and reschedule for another day," another deputy head of the station said, glaring at Wu Longcai when he tried to speak.
"What's going on here?" Just at that moment, Ge Dongxu walked in with a frown.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours what we're discussing here?" Xiao Shanshan, who was secretly enjoying the spectacle, saw a young man interfering and looked at Ge Dongxu disdainfully, saying.
"Of course, it's my business. I am the friend that Director Wu and the others had an appointment with. And who are you? If we have a dinner appointment, are you saying that even that is under your control?" Ge Dongxu said, glancing at Xiao Shanshan with a frown.
Station Head Guo's face turned an even deeper shade of iron blue when he heard that this plainly dressed, unknown young man was the friend Wu Longcai and the others had arranged to meet, while the other station leaders who were originally trying to persuade them to calm down changed their expressions too, looking at Wu Longcai and shaking their heads in private.
If it had been a truly important person, perhaps even just the boss of a company, this matter might have been smoothed over more easily. But seeing such a plainly dressed young man, it seemed as if Wu Longcai was deliberately disregarding Station Head Guo's authority.
As various expressions crossed the faces of Station Head Guo and others, Liu Manman had already come forward and quietly introduced Ge Dongxu to the identities of Station Head Guo and the others, also giving a brief explanation of the situation.
"Wu Longcai, I don't think you need to write any self-criticism. The Public New Village Channel is in urgent need of a deputy director and could use someone with your talents. You will go to the Public New Village Channel tomorrow," Station Head Guo said, calming down in his extreme anger, and spoke to Wu Longcai with a calm face.
The Public New Village Channel was a newly launched channel by the provincial station. It couldn't compare to other channels like Film and Entertainment, Economic Life, Children's channels, etc., in terms of coverage, programming, or the funds invested by the provincial station. Station Head Guo's move to transfer Wu Longcai to the Public New Village Channel was essentially casting him into oblivion, and the position of deputy director was actually a direct demotion.
This transfer was as much of a demotion as possible, showing that Station Head Guo was resolute in dealing with Wu Longcai.
When the other leaders from the provincial station heard this, their expressions changed, and they opened their mouths as if to intervene, but seeing Station Head Guo's calm expression, they all shut their mouths again.
In the official arena, once the leader at the helm is determined to do something, unless other leaders want to thoroughly fall out with him and insist on an issue, it is absolutely unwise to stick one's head out against it at such a time.

Station Head Guo made this statement publicly, the anger clearly had not fully subsided, then he turned to Wu Shiyi and said, "Wu Shiyi, you should follow Director Wu as well. Nowadays, there's no show that can't go on without someone."
Wu Shiyi's face paled for a moment, but she bit her lip without speaking, looking somewhat stubborn.
"Station Head Guo, are you done? If you're done, can I say a few words?" Ge Dongxu said calmly.
Seeing this unknown young man, Ge Dongxu, speak up again at such a moment, and with such a calm demeanor, everyone present felt a bit surprised. Of course, there was more disdain and mockery for they thought Ge Dongxu was utterly ignorant of his own limitations.
However, Ge Dongxu ignored them and continued, "First, I indeed arranged to meet with Wu Shiyi and the others today. Second, time after work belongs to personal time, and you, even as the station head, don't have the right to interfere with their personal lives. Third, I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill with this matter. If you insist on dealing with my two friends this way, I think the person who will lose more is you."
"Who do you think you are to talk back..." Xiao Shanshan pointed at Ge Dongxu and began to scold him when she saw him daring to speak to Station Head Guo like that.
"I'm speaking to Station Head Guo, you have no right to butt in!" Ge Dongxu turned his head and looked at Xiao Shanshan with disdain.
By this time, he had recognized Xiao Shanshan and knew from Li Chenyu and the others that it was this woman who took Liu Manman's place.
"Young man, do you know who you are talking to? Who gave you the courage to say such things?" Station Head Guo said with a stern face.
"It seems that I'm talking to no avail. In that case, I have nothing more to say." Ge Dongxu glanced at Station Head Guo, then said to Wu Longcai and the other two, "Let's go have dinner, I said it's my treat. As for tomorrow's matters, let's discuss them tomorrow. For today, let's just take care of filling our bellies."
Now that things had come to this point, what else could Wu Longcai and the other two do? Besides, Wu Longcai was also a proud person. If Station Head Guo actually demoted him to a deputy director at the Public New Rural Channel, he would definitely not swallow his pride.
"Haha, exactly! Exactly! If there's wine today, then today we shall get drunk, to hell with tomorrow!" Wu Longcai laughed out loud.
At this point, he was putting everything on the line!
After all, if he left the provincial station, he could do his own thing! Besides, wasn't he still with Ge Dongxu? Perhaps things wouldn't come to such a head.
"Hee hee, if there's wine today, then today we shall get drunk. Director Wu, those are your words, so if we get you drunk later, don't blame us okay?" Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi chuckled as they caught up with Ge Dongxu and Wu Longcai, and said.
Clearly, they had chosen to stand with Wu Longcai!
"Look at this, look at this, what kind of attitude is this? What kind of attitude is this?" Station Head Guo, seeing Wu Longcai and the two women actually following Ge Dongxu and leaving him behind, disregarding him as the station head, couldn't help shaking with rage.
