"Eat!"
Su Yao replied without thinking.
Because she understood that if she continued to be picky, she wouldn't even get to eat this hot pot.
"Then let's go!"
Wang Shu also showed a satisfied smile and walked ahead.
Su Yao followed behind reluctantly, trotting towards the hot pot restaurant.
Two hours later, Wang Shu and Su Yao, with their bellies full, returned to the hotel from the hot pot restaurant.
Upon returning to the hotel, Wang Shu immediately got back to his writing, updating his three novels.
...
"Mr. Ji, Jiangnan TV has recorded a new episode of their program today, and Wang Shu appeared on its stage."
At Qianyin Group's vice president's office, the female secretary reported to Ji Cheng again.
"Jiangnan TV, I'll see what tricks they can pull after this show airs!"
Ji Cheng remained unfazed, calmly sitting in his chair and looking at the report from the female secretary.
He had researched the show, "The Masked Singer," and considered it one of Jiangnan TV's few excellent programs in recent years.
However, this episode was nearing its end, and it was unlikely to help Jiangnan TV sustain its momentum.
Therefore, he didn't need to worry about Jiangnan TV making any significant impact. As for Wang Shu,
He didn't know any other platform that dared to employ Wang Shu besides Jiangnan TV.
If any TV station or platform were to use Wang Shu now, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the entire Qianyin Group.
"We must plan a new program this week to take over 'The Masked Singer's' prime time slot and retain the audience."
At Jiangnan TV, the lights were also brightly lit that night. The vice director said with a stern expression.
They had fallen out with Qianyin Group, and many programs had been forced to halt production.
The lawsuit with Qianyin Group was also dragging on without an immediate court date.
Therefore, they desperately needed a new program that could capitalize on the immense viewership of "The Masked Singer."
However, in the spacious conference room, none of the forty-odd people dared to speak.
"We've gathered you all here tonight to brainstorm and come up with a solution, not for everyone to sit here idly!"
Seeing that no one was speaking, the vice director became angry.
He slammed the table and roared.
However, the others acted as if they hadn't seen the vice director's anger.
"Director Zhang, please don't be angry. You can let everyone go back and think about it. After all, it's not very realistic to produce a program in such a short time."
Gong Tao, seeing the tense atmosphere in the conference room, stepped forward and said to the vice director.
"Director Gong, I believe this arduous task still requires your diligence. I'll need you to come up with a new program before Monday!"
As soon as Gong Tao spoke, the vice director had a sudden idea.
Gong Tao was half to blame for Jiangnan TV's current predicament.
So, he directly handed this hot potato to Gong Tao. Since the director valued this person so highly, he wanted to see just how capable he really was.
"Director Zhang, I still need to supervise the post-production of the program tomorrow. I might not have enough time!"
Gong Tao was surprised that as soon as he spoke, the other party threw the difficult task at him and quickly said.
"You, the capable ones, have more to do. After all, the director values you so much, you can't let down his good intentions! This matter is settled. We are adjourned!"
With that, the vice director gave a cold smile and dismissed the meeting.
Gong Tao was left alone, stunned in the office.
"I really shouldn't have spoken!"
Gong Tao now wished he could slap himself twice for his unnecessary words.
The vice director Zhang already disliked him, and now he had to add a word tonight.
Now, if he couldn't come up with a new plan before Monday, he would surely be targeted.
At that time, even if "The Masked Singer" achieved excellent results, it would be in vain.
However, the next moment, he immediately dialed Wang Shu's number.
Wang Shu, who was typing, heard the phone ring and casually pressed the speakerphone button.
"Director Gong, is there something?"
Wang Shu asked directly.
"I want to ask if you have any variety show ideas. Quickly give me some advice, I'm in a terrible rush!"
Gong Tao lowered his pride and pleaded with Wang Shu for help.
"I have plenty of ideas, but it depends on what you're looking for."
When Wang Shu heard that the other party was asking for variety show concepts, he replied directly.
"It's best to avoid music-related variety shows. Many singers are now terrified of our station. So, I'm wondering if we can transition to a different type of program."
Gong Tao stated his thoughts. Qianyin Group had already issued a notice.
Even singers not affiliated with Qianyin Group were avoiding taking on programs for Jiangnan TV to prevent any misunderstandings.
Therefore, he had to consider transitioning to a different type of variety show.
Only in this way could they avoid Qianyin Group's sanctions against Jiangnan TV, as most of Jiangnan TV's business was in the music industry.
So, as long as they avoided the music industry, this problem could be resolved.
"Then you should get some rest. I'll come to the TV station tomorrow and show you the proposal!"
Wang Shu already had a general idea in mind and agreed.
After finishing the updates for his three books, he began writing the proposal.
The next morning, Wang Shu got up and headed to Jiangnan TV.
...
"How is it? Do you have any ideas?"
In the office, seeing Wang Shu arrive, Gong Tao asked expectantly.
"It's already finished, it's all here!"
Wang Shu shook a stack of bound proposals in his hand and said with a smile.
"You truly are amazing, coming up with so many ideas so casually. Hurry and let me see!"
Gong Tao's eyes widened almost to the point of popping out when he saw the proposals in Wang Shu's hand, and he eagerly urged Wang Shu.
"Director Gong, although we have a good relationship, I can't just do charity work for your station for free!"
Wang Shu directly stated his intentions.
"I understand. If this idea is feasible, I will certainly reward you handsomely!"
Gong Tao quickly replied.
"In that case, let me show you!"
Seeing that Gong Tao was so cooperative, Wang Shu handed him the proposals.
"'Happy Comedy King'?"
Looking at the title on the proposal, Gong Tao couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Because the name indeed did not sound like a music variety show.
