Producer Li's remark about "certain people" was clearly pointed, and Xiao Ma, not being dull, instantly figured out who it referred to.
His heart skipped a beat as he suddenly recalled the call from the station director on their way here, specifically instructing him to lower his stance and be polite to that guest host.
A quick connection to Ke Zhenyue's pale face when he left made everything clear to him.
Startled, Xiao Ma instinctively raised his head, eyes widened, incredulous as he asked, "Sister Li, are you saying Director Ke was..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ma realized his slip and quickly covered his mouth, casting a vigilant glance around.
Seeing how quickly Xiao Ma grasped the situation, Producer Li looked at him with a hint of appreciation:
"It's good you know; this isn't something unusual. I can see you're quick-witted, so I don't need to teach you much in this aspect."
