He didn’t dare to tell his brother about it.

Feeling annoyed and somber, he drove to Yu Zhan’s pet clinic that evening and waited for Yu Zhan to finish his work before asking him out to eat a meal and drink some beer.

With the power of the beer, he complained about all he had been through that day to Yu Zhan. Yu Zhan was now the friend he trusted the most.

“The division has long got useless, and he hasn’t been having a good work for a long time. He’s hoping to get popular one more time through directing my documentary and to add another achievement to his records. To please Guo Nan, he made Guo Nan the deputy director of ‘Vet’s Cuties’ to add some brightness to Guo Nan so he could get quickly promoted.”

“Guo Nan’s ‘Six Hundred Years of the Forbidden City’ is very mediocre. If it doesn’t have a superior-looking background of being filmed in the forbidden city, Guo Nan wouldn’t even have gotten number two. That’s his real level! Why is he qualified to replace me?”

“The funniest thing is, they even think your pet clinic is too small and low-tiered, and they claim that they will film the sequels at larger chained pet hospitals. Hehehehe~~”

Ye Ziliang was getting angrier as he ranted on!

Yu Zhan, however, was not angry because the TV station’s leaders belittled him and his pet clinic. At the start, he opened his pet clinic to make his dreams come true and not for earning money. The real intention of those owners of chained pet clinic hospitals to continuously open more hospitals is to earn money!

Yu Zhan said, “It is meaningless to keep your head down to stay at this place. Today, they are taking over your idea, and tomorrow, they might take over your work. That entire place is acting in collusion with each other, and you will never get treated importantly. Only resigning in time can stop you from continuing to lose.”

At this moment, Ye Ziliang needed someone to support him and stand on his side, to give him compliments and tell him he was doing good.

He took a large mouthful of beer and continued to say, “Nowadays, there are more and more people studying directing and scriptwriting majors in China. This job is getting more and more competitive, and it’s hard to find a fitting job that you like. Working in the national TV department is the best, the most superior job one can ever hope for. I easily gave up such a popular job that people dream of. To be honest, I don’t regret it at all, but I just feel a little blank about my future. I don’t know what job I should look for.”

With Ye Ziliang’s experience from this half of the year, he could have found a job at other TV stations; however, the problem was, he had already offended the national TV department’s boss. TV stations have always been places where news spread fast. The news of how he resigned the day he got employed must’ve already spread throughout the entire TV circle, so his reputation was ruined. No TV station would dare to want him.

Yu Zhan remembered how Liu Man got popular and suggested, “Can you sign up for a personal special column on websites such as Tik Tok and upload the documentaries that you film so you can become a freelancer?”

“I’ve thought about this way of working, but making this kind of account means no profit in the early stage. How will I pay my team their salaries?” When he got here, Ye Ziliang, embarrassed, lowered his head. He still owed Yu Zhan 20k RMB.

“I believe Man Man’s friends will be willing to work for you until you can earn profit and pay them.”

Seeing how Ye Ziliang was still hesitating, Yu Zhan smiled, “Do you lack so much confidence in yourself and are worried about not being able to earn money?”

“Of course not,” Ye Ziliang immediately responded, “I’m just scared of troubling them.”

Ye Ziliang had seen how Sun Weiwei and her buddies do things so enthusiastically. It was like their brains had never taken a break.

Ye Ziliang knew they were currently working on a Tik Tok account named “The Sisters”. Because they were helping him film his documentary before, their original work got delayed.

Ye Ziliang felt too awkward to speak to them about this, so Yu Zhan helped him. And so, Liu Man became the second one to learn about Ye Ziliang’s resignation. At the start, she was extremely shocked. After all, Ye Ziliang spent all his energy on filming “Vet’s Cuties” only because he wanted to compete for this job. Now that he had finally and arduously got his dream job, why did he easily give up?

After knowing the cause and effect from Yu Zhan, Liu Man also felt Ye Ziliang did a good job! How could that Guo Nan easily plagiarise the hard work from everyone?

Because of Zhu Xiyang’s incident, Liu Man now detested those people who had no skills and only depended on their backers.

“Are you willing to help Ziliang on this?” Yu Zhan asked Liu Man in the call.

“Yes, of course!” Liu Man was very determined.

Interestingly, back when Ye Ziliang invited Yu Zhan to participate in the documentary, Liu Man was the one who persuaded Yu Zhan to accept. Now, everything was reversed, and Yu Zhan came to ask for Liu Man’s help.

The one documentary made everyone friends. How could they by-stand when their friend was in trouble?

Liu Man continuously sent a few long messages in “The Sisters” group chat and described Ye Ziliang’s trouble in detail.

Everyone was even angrier than Ye Ziliang himself, all feeling much indignation.

“Wtf, I never thought that such despicable darkness is behind the bright and glorious national TV channel.” — Jiang Chengfeng

“This is normal. It’s why I don’t want to find a job outside. If I’m Ye Ziliang, I won’t let Guo Nan live to see tomorrow’s sunrise.” — Tao Zhiyao

Everyone: “…”

“Sis Peach, you are so impressive. Why do you even need to go out and work hard to find a job??” — Jiang Chengfeng

“Hmph, my family urges me to go out and get a job every day, saying that they won’t allow me to depend on them. But aren’t they still giving me hundreds of thousands as allowance every month? This is so annoying.” — Tao Zhiyao

Everyone: “…”

If everyone didn’t know about Tao Zhiyao’s personality, they definitely would’ve kicked her out of the group chat.

“We will still film the first episode of ‘The Sisters’ according to our original plan, and we will followup with Ziliang bro’s documentary at the same time. Does everyone agree?” — Sun Weiwei

“I have no disagreements.” — Li Xiaoru

“I work the least out of all of you, so I naturally agree.” — Jiang Chengfeng

“I don’t care.” — Tao Zhiyao

“Doing makeup for you guys doesn’t take up much of my time.” — Miao Xiaomei

“Ah Zhan also told me to emphasize to everyone that this time, we won’t receive any payment for working for Ye Ziliang.” — Liu Man

“OK, it’s not like we haven’t before worked without receiving any payment.” — Sun Weiwei

“Helping Ye Ziliang is better than helping He Qisi.” — Jiang Chengfeng

“As long as there is a cat for me to play with. Hehehe, I miss Melon so awfully.” — Tao Zhiyao

Melon, who was having a sweet dream on Ye Ziliang’s bed in his bedroom, suddenly woke up, cringing.

Liu Man gave Yu Zhan everyone’s replies, and Yu Zhan gave them to Ye Ziliang.

Ye Ziliang felt both happy and touched. The luckiest thing about him was: when he was in trouble, there was still a group of friends standing behind him, supporting him!
