Chapter 231 I'm Serious [1 update, asking for monthly pass]

"Enough, Qianqian, hold back a little," Wu Longcai interrupted Ye Qianqian before she could finish her complaint.

"Director Wu, didn't you see how his tone was when speaking to others? It's so infuriating that she just couldn't help it!" Ye Qianqian, clutching Wu Longcai's arm, shook it with a look of grievance on her face.

"Enough, the way you asked earlier was indeed problematic," Wu Longcai, being reasonable and smart, knew that while it was fine to criticize Ye Qianqian, an underling and a newcomer, Ge Dongxu was a different story. After all, his relationship with Liu Jiayao seemed not too bad, and Liu Jiayao invested a good amount of advertising in their TV station every year. It was better not to offend if possible.

Seeing Director Wu not speaking up for her, Ye Qianqian pouted unhappily, but since Director Wu had spoken, she dared not pick on Ge Dongxu anymore.

However, just because Ye Qianqian kept quiet didn't mean that Shangguan Yunfeng, sitting in front of her and Director Wu, was pleased. He turned his head to ask Director Wu, "Director, who is he? He's not old, but seems rather arrogant. And who is this President Liu you mentioned?"

"Yunfeng bro, of course, he's got the capital to be arrogant—don't look at him being young; he's acquainted with Liu Jiayao from Qinglan Cosmetics Company!" Ye Qianqian saw the Entertainment Channel's top star, Shangguan Yunfeng, chime in and immediately felt emboldened again. She gave Ge Dongxu a sidelong glance and spoke with a mocking tone.

"Oh, it's Liu Jiayao! I'm pretty familiar with her. I just wasn't aware she knew someone like him. Alright, don't get upset over him. I'll mention this to Liu Jiayao another day and have her teach him a lesson or two," Shangguan Yunfeng boasted arrogantly, casting a disdainful glance at Ge Dongxu.

"Then thank you, Yunfeng bro. Make sure to remember to talk to her next time, OK?" Ye Qianqian said coquettishly, intentionally giving Ge Dongxu a provoking look as she spoke.

"No problem," Shangguan Yunfeng replied and then turned away, looking supremely self-satisfied.

Wu Longcai shook his head at the scene but said nothing more.

After all, Shangguan Yunfeng was the Entertainment Channel's leading lady and had some connections. Unlike the newcomer Ye Qianqian, giving him face was necessary.

Moreover, Shangguan Yunfeng was indeed somewhat acquainted with Liu Jiayao.

Ge Dongxu didn't say anything either; he couldn't possibly argue with these people or flamboyantly reveal his own status. He simply looked at them indifferently and remained silent.

Because of the unpleasantness and seeing Shangguan Yunfeng's apparent dissatisfaction with Ge Dongxu, Wu Shiyi didn't dare to idle chat with Ge Dongxu anymore; otherwise, it would seem like she was deliberately offending Shangguan Yunfeng.

Two and a half hours is neither long nor short.

About an hour later, Wu Shiyi, perhaps feeling bored or still a bit concerned about Ge Dongxu's pride being hurt, saw that Shangguan Yunfeng and the others were all engaged in their own conversations, gave Ge Dongxu a nudge with her elbow, and whispered, "Hey, don't take it to heart, all right? Many people in our circle are like this."

"Heh, don't worry, I won't take such banal comments to heart. It's you, though—you still owe me an answer," Ge Dongxu responded with a smile, seeming unaffected. Wu Shiyi's gesture nevertheless warmed his heart.

"What can a newcomer like me do in the capital? I would just be there for show, to help toast and smile. The key figures are Director Wu and Shangguan Yunfeng, Liu Manman, and the others. Their main purpose for going to the capital this time is to get a new program approved by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television, and also to meet with the head of a company interested in sponsoring the program to discuss it. In fact, the sponsorship deal that Director Wu discussed with President Li at the rotating restaurant at Mingyue Lake last time was very appealing to him, but I don't know why he suddenly changed his mind before the new year," Wu Shiyi whispered.

Of course, Wu Shiyi didn't know that Li Bisheng's change of mind was due to his failed acquisition plan. He initially intended to increase his investment in advertising and create a big buzz.

"If the program is good, and you're the host, then I might consider sponsoring it." Ge Dongxu replied thoughtfully, his expression dead serious.

Upon hearing this, Wu Shiyi looked at Ge Dongxu's earnest demeanor, paused in surprise, then suddenly "pfft" couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly covered her mouth, peeked over at Shangguan Yunfeng to see if he had noticed, and when she saw he hadn't, she sneakily pinched Ge Dongxu and gave him a white-eyed look, saying, "You've got some nerve, using a newbie like me for your jokes, huh? I am from the provincial station after all."

"I'm being serious," Ge Dongxu said, touching the arm Wu Shiyi had pinched, a wry smile on his face.

"Serious my foot! Do you have any idea how much it costs to sponsor a show? Several million at least!" Wu Shiyi pinched Ge Dongxu again, her expression becoming greatly exaggerated when she mentioned the sum of several million.

In Huaxia Country, the year 1999 could not compare with the present, where we easily throw around tens or even hundreds of millions for variety show sponsorships. Back then, several million was actually a lot of money.

"Alright, then pretend I never said anything. Do you have a business card? If I really decide to go through with it, I'll have someone give you a call," Ge Dongxu said, seeing that Wu Shiyi didn't believe him and not wanting to explain any further. He thought it would be simpler to have Cheng Yazhou contact her directly. That way, she would believe it.

"What's the matter? Trying to hit on me?" said Wu Shiyi, rolling her eyes at Ge Dongxu as he asked her for a business card again.

Ge Dongxu silently slapped his forehead, finding it speechless. He just thought Wu Shiyi was a nice person and wanted to help her if there was a chance. So, he asked for her business card instead of contacting the supervisor Wu Longcai directly, not expecting her to take it the wrong way.

"However, you do have good taste!" Wu Shiyi did not notice Ge Dongxu's speechless moment. After rolling her eyes at him, she immediately looked proud, jutting out her chin and intentionally puffing out her chest.

And boy, was it really prominent and big, enticing Ge Dongxu's gaze involuntarily.

"Men are all the same!" Perhaps because of her profession, having seen such gazes often, Wu Shiyi was not the least bit intimidated by Ge Dongxu's stare. Instead, she rolled her eyes at him again and said, "However, considering you're fairly handsome and seem mostly honest overall, I'll give you my business card. Just do not keep calling me for no reason; I'm very busy studying."

After saying that, Wu Shiyi handed Ge Dongxu her business card. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire

The card carried a faint scent which was quite pleasant, and it was delicately made. It bore Wu Shiyi's name and cellphone number, stating she was a show host for the provincial entertainment television station, but there was no mention of which program.

"I don't have a business card, so I'll just leave you my number instead. Whether it's something important while we're in the capital or back in Jiangnan, feel free to call me. Of course, if it's not important, don't call me just to bother me, I'm very busy studying," Ge Dongxu said as he took Wu Shiyi's business card and pulled out paper and pen from his bag, wrote down his mobile number, and handed it to Wu Shiyi.

"Please, like I'd harass you with calls. Keep dreaming!" Wu Shiyi said with a look of disdain, rolling her eyes at him again, though she still took the number and put it away.

Because she was so engaged in the conversation with Ge Dongxu, Wu Shiyi didn't realize that the commotion had caught the attention of Wu Longcai and others.

Ye Qianqian wore a look of disdain on her face, while a fleeting expression of displeasure crossed Shangguan Yunfeng's face. As for Wu Longcai and Liu Manman, they didn't seem to have any reaction, obviously not caring about the private exchange between the two.
