Chapter 317 The Interest Level in This Topic Has Increased!

It was in the Capital City.

In a meeting room at the main tower of the Central Television, the production team and the committee members were holding a meeting.

Then, a staff member suddenly rushed into the room, walked up to the chairperson’s seat and whispered into the ear of a middle-aged man with chin-length gray hair.

“What?” The middle-aged man exclaimed in shock and smacked his hand against the table.

The production team and committee members who totaled more than 10 members were surprised and confused at his reaction.

“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”

“Did something happen?”

“Although the director is a little hot-tempered, he isn’t someone who would get angry without any reason.”

Everyone discussed in hushed whispers.

The middle-aged person who sat in the chairperson’s seat was the producer and the director of the Young Physician of China Competition.

The director scoffed coldly and waited until the staff member left before he announced with an ashen look, “We have been rejected!”

Everyone froze in horror.

What has been rejected?

Who have they been rejected by?

“Fang Qiu!” The director added angrily. “He’s only a first-year student who was invited because I had a good impression of him. I thought he had already accepted the invite but he turned us down after we already announced that he was participating in the competition!”

Everyone turned pale when they heard that.

They couldn’t believe that Fang Qiu had turned back on his word and even humiliated the team in public!

This was a public humiliation!

“Damn it!” The director cursed angrily, “I already guaranteed you a place in the top 50 so how could you embarrass me so publicly!”

“What do you think we should do?” He asked.

Someone immediately rose to his feet and said, “This kid is too arrogant. It was his honor to receive an invite from the production team and since this competition is organized by the Central Television, he has not only rejected us but also the Central Television. I’d suggest that we disqualify him from the competition altogether and blacklist him for life!”

“Isn’t this going a little too far?” An elderly man who seemed to be in his late 50s rose to his feet and said, “He’s only a child who is still in his first year of university, so he might have been influenced by someone else. Why don’t we try to reach out to him before making a decision?”

“Why should we reach out to him? He immediately turned us down after we released a public announcement. This shows that he was out to humiliate us in public.”

“Exactly, this kid is too arrogant.”

“Disqualify him!”

Everyone spoke at once and all jostled to express their opinions. Most of those present expressed their displeasure with Fang Qiu’s actions and there was a small minority who felt that Fang Qiu was in the wrong but they couldn’t bear to disqualify him so they tried to speak up for him. They didn’t want a young talent to be completely disregarded because of this.

Just as the arguments became more intense, suddenly someone said, “Wait a minute.”

The speaker was a young man who had been staring at the computer. He suddenly rose to his feet and shouted, “Everyone, please calm down.”

Everyone turned to look at this young man.

He looked very young but he was the head of the network division of the production team and was a specialist when it came to the Internet.

“What are you trying to do?” The director said angrily.

“I just took a look online and I realized that the situation isn’t as bad as we think,” the young man said. “First, Fang Qiu did not turn down the invite to participate in the competition but he rejected our offer to progress him straight to the top 50. He has also announced that he will participate as an individual contestant.”

“This shows that Fang Qiu didn’t mean to humiliate us but he didn’t want others to say that he had gotten in through connections. Fang Qiu’s actions were not wrong from a personal standpoint but we were looking at it from our perspective.”

“In addition, based on what I know, although Fang Qiu had agreed to participate in the competition, the production team did not let him know in advance that we will be progressing him straight to the top 50. This was our mistake.”

Everyone finally understood the background of the situation.

They were even more hesitant than before.
