As a vice director, he was well aware of the entire cause and effect of this matter.
If Director Zhao had not deliberately forced someone in and arbitrarily modified the voting data at the time.
Director Gong Tao would not have left the television station in anger.
"You'd better think before you speak, lest you bring disaster upon yourself!"
Director Zhao was also startled by the words of the unnamed vice director and quickly wanted to shut him up.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
After giving Director Zhao a stern look, the station manager of Xiang Nan TV turned to the vice director and asked.
"Director Zhao insisted on forcibly inserting that Wu Yifan into the program back then, and also... also modified the program's voting data, eliminating the contestant Wang Shu, who was originally ranked first!"
The vice director glanced at Director Zhao, who was now glaring at him menacingly, gritted his teeth, and told the truth.
"Director Zhao! Is this what you did?"
After learning the truth, the station manager's veins bulged with anger, and his sharp eyes stared fiercely at the trembling Director Zhao.
"You are also an old hand at the station. I haven't said anything about many things usually, but you are too unrestrained. From today onwards, you don't need to manage the station's affairs anymore. Go to the logistics department to stay!"
The station manager said with disappointment.
He was close to retirement, and Director Zhao was the one he valued most.
He had originally intended to hand over the position of station manager to Director Zhao, but now it seemed that his idea was completely wrong.
This Director Zhao, for his own selfish reasons, would actually interfere with a variety show that was popular in the station and had the potential to become a flagship program.
If he became the station manager in the future, wouldn't Xiang Nan Television be in chaos?
"Station manager, I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I will definitely take responsibility for my mistakes!"
As soon as Director Zhao heard that the station manager was going to transfer him to the logistics department, he was immediately frightened and begged the station manager.
He knew that his current position was only one step away from becoming a deputy station manager, and there was even a chance to become the station manager of Xiang Nan TV later on.
If he was transferred to the logistics department now, he would never have a chance to rise again in his life.
"I give you a chance, who gives me a chance? Who gives Xiang Nan Television a chance? It's all because of you, we have directly lost an excellent director and a flagship variety show!"
The station manager also said heartbrokenly. He was already disheartened by the director he had supported.
"Disperse. I will announce your punishment at the general meeting next week!"
The station manager cast a look of disappointment at the people in the room and then turned and left angrily.
"You kid must be trying to ruin me! We'll see!"
After the station manager left, Director Zhao directly rushed forward, grabbed the collar of the vice director who had just exposed him, and roared at him with rage.
"Director Zhao, do you really think you are still the director? We'll see each other later!"
The vice director was no longer afraid of Director Zhao at all, because the station manager had just announced that he would be transferred to the logistics department.
If a person is transferred to the post-production department of a television station, they basically have no future.
Especially for someone of Director Zhao's level, it could be considered exile.
When leaving the television station building, the vice director specifically called Gong Tao to inform him that Director Zhao had been dealt with.
"What's making you so happy?"
Seeing Gong Tao smiling on the phone, the old station manager also asked with a smile.
Then Gong Tao told the old station manager about his situation at Xiang Nan TV and the things that had just happened on the phone.
The old station manager shook his head with a hint of disappointment.
"For our Jiang Nan TV, this is not good news. After all, Xiang Nan losing a parasite means more of a threat to us! However, for the Dragon Country's television industry, it is a great relief!"
"Station manager, don't worry. Even if Director Zhao is dealt with, I won't go back to Xiang Nan. I belong to our Jiang Nan Television station now!"
Gong Tao naturally understood the station manager's concerns, so he patted his chest and assured him.
"I believe you, but you must not abuse your power and do what Zhao did. If Wang Shu runs away then, we will suffer a great loss!"
The old station manager patted Gong Tao on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
He also understood that Gong Tao and Wang Shu were mutually beneficial.
Gong Tao provided Wang Shu with a stage, and Wang Shu provided Gong Tao with excellent content. With their tacit cooperation, "Masked Singer" was born.
Jiang Nan TV was able to win the championship for variety show ratings.
...
After the program ended, Wang Shu and Su Yao also finished their barbecue. Their bellies full, they prepared to return to the hotel to rest.
However, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hotel they had booked, Wang Shu saw a Rolls-Royce parked downstairs from a distance.
"This car belongs to some William, right?"
Wang Shu asked Su Yao.
Su Yao looked confused, clearly not understanding why William would know where they were staying.
"Let's get out and see what tricks he's up to!"
Wang Shu said with interest.
Then the two got out of the car and walked towards the hotel.
Since the hotel was booked by Su Yao in advance, the two of them simply registered at the front desk and headed directly to the room upstairs.
However, as soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw the man in a suit named William standing at the entrance of the elevator, holding a large bouquet of roses.
"Yao Yao, this is for you!"
William said to Su Yao with a fawning expression, and handed the roses to Su Yao.
"I don't need these. You'd better take them away!"
Su Yao was stunned at first, but then directly refused.
"Yao Yao, you are making things too difficult for me. I have returned to the country this time precisely to marry you."
William said directly.
"Who wants to marry you? Are you crazy? Get out of the way!"
Su Yao frowned, clearly angry, pushed William aside, and entered her room, closing the door.
"Brother, have you ever chased a girl?"
Wang Shu looked at the embarrassed William and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"How do you know? Girls used to chase me!"
William said proudly, looking at Wang Shu.
"Are girls chasing you? You drive a Rolls-Royce every day, and girls are chasing your money. Do you think Yao Yao is like those girls?"
Wang Shu said to him with disappointment.
"Yao Yao seems different from them. Do you know how to chase Yao Yao?"
William also lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Wang Shu and asked.
"I do!"
Wang Shu replied directly.
"How?"
William asked Wang Shu very seriously.
"Why should I tell you?"
Wang Shu snorted coldly, then turned and walked into his room.
Only William was left alone in the corridor, feeling awkward.
"Tell me, I can pay you for it!"
After a while, William reacted and walked to Wang Shu's door and said.
Two seconds later, Wang Shu, who was washing up, also opened the door.
"How much?"
Wang Shu asked while brushing his teeth.
"How much do you think you should pay?"
William said, dumbfounded.
"It depends on how much you like Yao Yao. If it's true love, it should be at least a few million!"
Seeing that the young man had taken the bait, Wang Shu began to fool him.
"So expensive?"
William exclaimed when he heard about millions.
"You think millions are too expensive? And you still want to chase Yao Yao? Don't you know that Old Master Su is worth hundreds of billions? If you're not willing to spend a few million, how can you inherit his tens of billions of family fortune? Now these few million might bring you tens of thousands of times the return in the future!"
Wang Shu continued to fool him, even calculating an economic account for him.
After hearing Wang Shu's analysis, William felt that what he said made some sense.
"I can only pay you one million first, because I'm not sure if your method will succeed!"
William thought for a moment and said to Wang Shu.
"No problem, my method is always effective. Don't worry!"
Wang Shu's lips curled slightly, and he handed William one of his business cards.
"The account number is on it. Come and get the secret manual from me tomorrow!"
Wang Shu also instructed as he handed over the business card.
"Okay!"
William excitedly accepted Wang Shu's business card and then left in a hurry.
"Boss, you actually sold me out!"
As soon as William left, the door opposite him opened, and Su Yao stood at the door, looking at Wang Shu with a pout.
"What do you mean sold you out? I'm just helping you test whether your future husband loves you or not!"
Wang Shu said with a sly smile.
"Nonsense, he is not my future husband at all! Don't talk nonsense!"
Su Yao immediately rushed up to Wang Shu, her small pink fists hitting Wang Shu's chest as soon as she heard Wang Shu say that William was her future husband.
"Alright, don't hit me into the emergency room later. I'm someone who could die at any moment!"
Wang Shu quickly said. Although he had martial arts skills now, he was still physically weak and any slight external impact could send him to the underworld.
Hearing Wang Shu's words, Su Yao quickly stopped her movements and looked at Wang Shu awkwardly.
"Don't worry, your boss won't sell you out!"
Wang Shu assured her by gently stroking her head.
He was reluctant to marry such a cute and wealthy assistant to that stupid second-generation rich man.
"What is William's background that your father is so eager to marry you to him?"
After returning to the room, Wang Shu asked curiously.
Because judging by Old Master Su's attitude, he seemed to be in a hurry to marry Su Yao off to this William.
"I'm not very clear about the specifics, but I know his former Chinese name was Dai Xihao. His father seems to be the chairman of the Dai Group.
The Dai Group is a huge multinational corporation, but I don't know much about what cooperation my father has with them."
Su Yao tried hard to recall.
