Conan: Rice Flower Spring

Chapter 184 178. Where is Keel?

"Mr. Director, what's going on with this mess?" Lin Longma asked directly when he came to the director.

"Who are you?" The director frowned and was about to explode, but unexpectedly he caught a glimpse of the visitor badges on Lin Longma and Bourbon's chests.

As the director of a project, no one would dare to run up to him and bring bad luck to him at this time, so when he heard Lin Longma's careless question, he was naturally very surprised.

But the visitor passes on Lin Longma and Bo Ben made him control his temper in time.

The visitor cards of Nichimei TV stations are all very similar. The color, font and layout of the visitor cards are the same, and the difference between them cannot be seen from a distance.

But the only difference between these visitor passes is the issuing unit of the visitor pass.

For those stars who come to participate in the recording of the program, their visitor passes are issued by the various program groups.

For visitors from the society who are invited to visit the TV station building, their visitor passes will be issued by the various offices.

The issuing unit of Lin Longma's visitor pass was the Office of the Deputy Director of the News Bureau of Nichiren Television (headquarters).

In other words, Lin Longma and Bourbon were guests invited by the Deputy Director of the Information Bureau, and this was certainly not something that a small weather forecast director like him could afford to offend.

At this moment, the director's original depression suddenly dissipated, and the only thing left in his mind was the thought of "surviving a disaster" which happened faster than his eyes and mouth.

Really, he almost cursed, luckily, luckily!
After the weather forecast director realized that Lin Longma was the boss of his boss's boss, he answered every question Lin Longma asked.

"Well, we were about to start recording today's weather forecast, but the announcer suddenly couldn't be contacted.

I'm having someone contact her to find out what's going on."

The director was in a hurry and spoke very quickly, but Lin Longma could still clearly hear the director's machine-gun-like expression.

"Who is the announcer of your show?"

"It's Mizunashi Reina. The previous announcer took a sick leave for a while, so I asked her to help fill in."

Although there is no KPI for the weather forecast program of Nichiuri TV, if the ratings are higher than those of its peers, the salaries of everyone from the director to the staff will naturally increase.

The program team can't do anything fancy regarding the weather numbers, so they can only focus on the announcers.

It just so happened that Rena Mizunoshi, as a popular host, was one of the "top streamers" in the News Bureau who brought her own traffic, and the director had to ask for a long time before he succeeded in getting Rena Mizunoshi to be a substitute.

Facts have proved that the director's efforts were not in vain. With the participation of Rena Mizunashi, the ratings of their weather forecast have increased significantly.

But just when the director was about to make further efforts, today Rena Mizunashi suddenly could not be contacted.

As soon as Lin Longma gave him a little guidance, the director began to complain to Lin Longma. He was so upset that he almost wanted to take out his heart and lungs to show Lin Longma.

"Mr. Lin, how can this happen? The recording is about to start, but he doesn't answer the phone and can't find anyone.
What do you think I should do?!"

Lin Longma was very clear that the director's cooperation did not represent his personality, nor did it mean that Lin Longma's personal charm was really that great.

The director was so revealing only because of Lin Longma's visitor pass.

If there was any problem with today's recording, the director would definitely not be willing to bear the blame. Someone needs to take the responsibility for the problem, even though Rena Mizunashi was invited by the director after "three visits".

But when it comes time to pass the buck, the director will not be lenient.

What's more, if there was a problem, it was caused by Rena Mizunoshi's sudden disappearance.

Lin Longma’s visitor pass was issued by the Deputy Minister of the Information Bureau, which also means that Lin Longma may know the Deputy Minister.

He is happy to "serve" Lin Longma now, and then he can just say a few words to the deputy minister. Wouldn't that make him less responsible as the director?

As for what punishment Mizunashi Reina will receive.
Actually, it wouldn't matter, because Mizuno Rena is very popular now, and she is a "celebrity" in the news department. This kind of small matter can't have any impact on Mizuno Rena.

But once Rena Mizunoshi becomes out of fashion, then the small matter now may become a big matter.

Just like those popular stars, even though they are surrounded by negative news, it still does not stop them from performing and making money.

But once a person's reputation is ruined by something, all the bad information from the past will be summarized and used as spears to pierce him. All attacks will not stop until he is unable to stand up again.

"Oh? The announcer of your show is actually Rena Mizunashi? I've heard of her. She seems to be a very popular host and reporter recently?
What is she like in private? Is she like those celebrities, with two faces?"

Hayashi Ryoma didn't respond to the director at all, but seemed very interested when the director mentioned Mizunashi Rena.

The director was not in a hurry at the moment. It was useless even if he was anxious because Rena Mizuno couldn't find him.

What if the announcer isn't there and everyone else is ready? Should we put a teddy bear there to pose?
It would be better for him to accompany the distinguished guest in front of him. If the deputy minister can take care of him a little, it will be much easier for him as a director.

The director saw that Hayashi Ryoma was very interested in Mizunoshi Rena, so he immediately said, "Mizunoshi, she's a very good person.

Although she appears to be so capable on the show, she is actually a very easy-going person in private.

Polite and kind-hearted. I don't know what kind of accident happened this time."

The director's expression began to change slowly as he spoke, and the anxiety, impatience, and irritability on his face disappeared completely.

What replaced it was sincere admiration and heartfelt concern.

According to the director, Tokyo has become increasingly unstable recently, especially in Beika-cho and Haido-cho.

If Rena Mizuno gets into trouble, her colleagues won't even be able to help.

"Oh, director, you are such a warm-hearted person." Lin Longma patted the director on the shoulder and said with emotion.

As expected, adults in society always have to master the skill of face changing, and the director in front of us is a leader in this field.

You can see that his expression has become completely natural, as if he had thought so from the beginning. The main point is that Mr. Lin's position is my position, reserved and explicit.

From Kiel's colleagues, they heard that her reputation on Nichiren TV was unexpectedly good, which made Lin Longma and Bourbon feel even more strange.

To be honest, Kiel's style is completely different from that of the Executive Department. No wonder he has been "lurking" in Nichiren TV for so many years.

Is this still lurking? Is it just exile in disguise?
But the question now is, where is Kiel?
