Her Kindergarten is Full of Villainous Students-Chapter 181

The Old Station Director of Cake TV held a place of high esteem in everyone's hearts.
0
Many of the middle-aged core staff still at Cake TV were personally promoted by the Old Station Director, including Little Mei.
0
Little Mei always felt a sense of gratitude towards the Old Station Director for recognizing her talents.
0
This time, it was also the Old Station Director who saw potential in the culinary competition show.
0
After all, it was a crucial moment for the TV station to transition into the internet era.
0
Many major TV stations had already successfully made the transition, with 800-900 million young people currently active online in China.
0
Those meager TV ratings seemed hardly worth looking at anymore.
0
Cake TV had its moments of glory in the past.
0
A few years ago, their in-studio variety shows had led the trends for a while.
0
That was considered Cake TV's most glorious period.
0
But over the past decade, Cake TV had been on a steady decline.
0
It was clearly on a downward slope.
0
They had tried to utilize the internet before.
0
But no matter how much money they poured in, it always seemed to disappear without a trace.
0
After several attempts, everyone gradually lost hope.
0
This time, the Old Station Director saw that the online popularity was genuinely high.
0
The number of judges and applicants was particularly impressive.
0
However, when it came to production and filming, things seemed a bit rough.
0
There was indeed a noticeable gap compared to what their professional team could produce.
0
Upon inquiry, they learned that Lin Rui was behind it.
0
Lin Rui's Lin Family belonged to the same local wealthy circle as Little Mei.
0
When she came over with the intention of bringing the show under her wing, she brought along plenty of sincerity.
0
They wanted to use this popularity to help the TV station transition.
0
But who would have thought that after everything had been agreed upon, as the popularity grew, people's attitudes began to shift.

Sounds like a reality show in the making: 'When Popularity Strikes: The Cake TV Story'
The Old Station Director handed these matters over to the Deputy Director.
0
When Little Mei called, although the Old Station Director didn't answer, he learned about the situation from someone who was online.
0
He couldn't be bothered to deal with these issues anymore; young people making a fuss, it was all trivial to him.
0
The Old Station Director had worked within the system for so long.
0
His thinking had become somewhat rigid, completely unaware that it was now time for young people to reshape the workplace.
0
He thought that even if they faced some unfair treatment, they would find various ways to voice their concerns.
0
They would work through layers of obstacles to ultimately achieve their goals.
0
But now, Lin Rui had chosen to confront the issue head-on, which was beyond everyone's imagination.
0
Upon learning of the situation, the Old Station Director immediately called Little Mei, but to his surprise, she didn't answer.
0
This left even the Old Station Director somewhat incredulous.
0
By the time the Old Station Director managed to find Little Mei, she had already packed up and resigned. He didn't even get to see her in person.
0
For Little Mei, staying at Cake TV was originally about repaying some of the Old Station Director's kindness.
0
But after a series of events, she realized she had been too naive.
0
They were all just employees, what kindness was there to speak of?
0
The other party promoted her because they valued her abilities and family background.
0
Since everyone had their own agendas, there was no point in talking about who owed whom.
0
This time, she felt she had let down her good friend Lin Rui.
0
Such immense popularity.
0
In internet terms, a fortune beyond measure had been handed to Cake TV.
0
Now Cake TV was publicly using their social media team to make snide remarks about others, how could she hold her head high when facing her old friend?
4
@Anra_0:
Plot twist: The snide remarks were actually compliments in cake decorator speak.
Moreover, she discovered that the Old Station Director wasn't as good as she thought. It was all an act.
0
He and the Deputy Director were cut from the same cloth.
0
One played good cop, the other bad cop.
0
It wouldn't be surprising if they had planned it all beforehand.
0
This time, the Old Station Director and the Deputy Director had taught her a lesson.
0
Lin Rui had blocked all of Little Mei's contact methods.
0
Now Little Mei's world was in chaos – she had lost her job, lost her good friend, and she didn't want to deal with this mess anymore, so she simply resigned.
0
Cake TV was a very large organization.
0
Including interns, there were several hundred employees, with talent coming and going, which wasn't important to the station.
0
When Little Mei resigned, the leadership only made a token effort to persuade her to stay.
0
Seeing her firm resolve, they signed her resignation papers.
0
After all, the leadership had been somewhat uncomfortable with Little Mei, a second-generation rich kid playing at work. Now that she left on her own, they felt more at ease.
0
By the time the Old Station Director came back looking for Little Mei, he learned that she had already resigned.
0
As soon as the Old Station Director returned, the Deputy Director hurriedly invited him to his office.

Along the way, many people stared, and they could hear whispers around them.
0
After all, this was a place of intense competition.
0
This time, with the incident occurring, there was no shortage of spectators.
0
"What are we going to do now?" The Deputy Director was getting anxious.
0
They quickly closed the office door after entering: "Uncle, please say something."
0
The relationship between the Deputy Director and the Old Station Director wasn't like the typical superior-subordinate relationship people might imagine.
0
The Old Station Director had watched him grow up since he was a child.
0
Although they weren't relatives, their families had been close for twenty or thirty years.
0
It was an iron-clad network of relationships.
0
That's why the Deputy Director was able to stand out among so many excellent competitors.
0
To become the designated next station director.
0
The Deputy Director had often offended people in the office before.
0
But the Old Station Director had managed to eliminate most of his so-called opposing forces through various means.
0
Now the Old Station Director was planning to retire and enjoy his golden years.
0
Who would have thought his "good nephew" would cause such a big mess?
0
The Deputy Director was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He had seen the comments online, which were a deluge of abuse.

@lekx:
Deputy Director: *exists* | Internet: And I took that personally.
Most people couldn't withstand this.
0
Every time he saw so many people start to attack him, his whole body trembled with anger.
0
His heart felt like it was suddenly gripped by a large hand.
0
People who haven't experienced it can't imagine what it feels like to be maliciously abused online.
0
It's a suffocating feeling that comes with just one glance.
0
As for the social media editor who made the post, he couldn't even look at the backend now.
0
All kinds of insults were coming in faster than he could delete them.
0
He had no idea that a mere kindergarten could wield such power.

@lekx:
Cake TV exec: 'It's just a bunch of kids!' Narrator: 'It was not, in fact, just a bunch of kids.'
At this moment, the Deputy Director was still rambling on: "If only we hadn't collaborated with them!"
0
Under this kind of institutional setup, they didn't seek to achieve great things, but rather to avoid making mistakes.
0
With this kind of incident, how could he hold his head up?
0
The Old Station Director, seeing his constant complaints, was also getting a bit impatient.
0
But after all, old ginger is spicier: "I heard Little Mei resigned. What kind of leadership are you providing? She was a crucial person."
0
The Deputy Director had secretly rejoiced upon hearing that Little Mei was planning to resign. He believed that someone who didn't follow orders should indeed leave.
0
But now, hearing the Old Station Director say, "She must have realized the mess this incident would cause, so she's resigning to take responsibility," the Deputy Director was shocked.
0
The Old Station Director gave the Deputy Director a long, evaluating look.
0
It seemed that after playing office politics for too long, the Deputy Director could no longer distinguish between the big players and the small fry.

Old Station Director: 1, Deputy Director: 0. This is why you don't bring a memo to a strategy fight.
