The Commander's Useless Wife Is Actually a Hidden Boss!-Chapter 204: Becoming a Laughing Stock in the Industry

These were the Royal Telegraph, the official channel of the Military Department, Times Media, First Military Newspaper, and Third Military Newspaper.

Among them, the Royal Telegraph was the mouthpiece of the Royal Starship Academy, whether in reporting or commentary, it always favored the Royal Starship Academy.

The First Military Newspaper was the mouthpiece of the First Military Command College.

The Third Military Newspaper was Elbert’s mouthpiece.

The rest of the large and small media reporters were either unofficial or popular forums on the Star Network, media tycoons.

Some were local media from other Star Systems’ Military Academies, such as the Fenglin Star System, the Fengye Star System which was a sister system to the Fenglin Star System, the Hailan Star System, and so on.

Journalists dispatched by local companies had already taken the lead in reaching the Capital Star, starting to cheer for their own Star System’s Military Academy, and reporting back on the situation of the three major Military Academies and the attitudes of the big shots on the Capital Star.

The atmosphere of the Capital Star had been getting livelier and livelier recently, even more so than the New Year, with more and more people coming from every corner of the interstellar space to watch the upcoming Military Academy freshman competition.

Freshmen from various Military Academies had also successively arrived at the organizer, which was the First Military School.

"Here they come, here they come, hurry up, we’ve got to be at the front."

"Make way, all make way."

"Damn it, why are the spots allocated to us so far back? We can’t snatch any interview opportunities at all."

"Stop complaining. Didn’t you see that the Third Channel is also at the back?"

This remark made all the reporters and anchors exchange glances and smile knowingly at each other.

As Elbert Military Academy had been going downhill year after year, the Third Channel’s situation had also been getting worse. Traditionally, they should have been within the top five interview areas, but this time, while waiting for the three major Military Academies to return from the training base, they were assigned beyond the tenth spot.

Even some entertainment media were better off.

It had become an industry joke.

"It doesn’t matter where the Third Channel is placed; after all, their performance is poor, they can’t even stand on the podium to receive awards, so there’s not much chance for interviews."

"They’re just going through the motions. If they want hot news, they’ll still have to pursue popular students and matches from other Military Academies. How awkward would that be then?"

"Haha ha..."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"Elbert isn’t doing well, and the Third Channel is even worse. They used to thrive on the heat from Elbert, but they’ve been resting on their laurels ever since."

"Right! There’s no innovation at all."

"I’ve heard they’re so poor they can hardly pay salaries. No veterans are willing to come this year. They’ve only assigned a rookie."

"Isn’t this nonsense? The freshman competition is one of the Empire’s most important competitions, a grand event that all media in the Empire are scrambling to report on. How can they leave it to a rookie?"

"So, they’ve become desolate."

All in the media circle, their daily job was to make news, so they were extremely well-informed. They could talk about the gossip from other families for days on end without repeating a thing.

And everyone could participate.

The Third Channel’s host, Yuan Hai, was a novice just starting out, was so angry at the taunts that he was about to step forward to argue, but was held back by an older colleague by his side.

"What are you going to do?"

"I can’t bear this," Yuan Hai’s eyes were bloodshot.

"Even if you can’t bear it, you have to. What’s the use of arguing or fighting? It will only cause delays in work. The fights that needed to be fought have already been fought by those before you."

Old colleague Peng Jing had been working at the Third Channel for more than thirty years, witnessed the glory days of both Elbert and the company, and also witnessed their gradual decline, so his attitude had long since stabilized.
