He didn’t resemble a typical young man from the Capital at all; rather, he looked more like he had sprung from the ground.
"No, I just thought my hair was too long; it was uncomfortable, so I changed the hairstyle."
Change the hairstyle? A long-haired artsy youth, cutting off his hair to go bald is called changing the hairstyle? You’re changing a person, aren’t you?
Anyway, Chu Tian didn’t believe it.
Hou Yichuan, known for his knack at sabotaging, couldn’t help but interrupt right after Wei Liangxiao finished speaking.
"Chu Tian, don’t listen to his nonsense. Co on, let show you sothing good."
"What good thing? It’s not about watching goldfish, is it?"
"Stop joking, I am a decent person. Let show you Wei’s glorious image."
"Hey, don’t..."
Wei Liangxiao tried to stop him, but unfortunately Hou Yichuan was too quick and had already opened the photo album and handed it to Chu Tian.
After Chu Tian saw it, he was completely taken aback.
"Wei, did you flee for your life or sothing?"
It was more than just fleeing. He, who originally had long hair and a fair complexion, now had matted hair, his skin had darkened, and he was filthy from head to toe. No wonder Hou Yichuan found it so amusing.
Was that amusent? He couldn’t help himself.
"President Hou, you’re going too far. I did this for work."
Following that, Wei Liangxiao explained that he had gone to scout locations. That’s fine, but he ended up accidentally falling down the mountain.
Luckily, it wasn’t a cliff but a gentle slope.
But even if it was a gentle slope, it was still the wilderness, a no-man’s land, covered in rotting leaves and weeds.
Moreover, with the heavy fog in the mountains and dew on the grass leaves, the ground was slippery, making it impossible to stand.
So, Wei Liangxiao rolled all the way down to the base of the mountain.
And believe it or not, he was lucky to survive the fall of several dozen ters with no serious injuries, just bruises all over his body.
That wasn’t even the worst of it; his cell phone was broken, and he was lost.
He wandered in the mountains for two days before the production crew finally found him.
He had already gotten quite tanned from constantly running around scouting locations. Furthermore, after several days of struggling in the mountains with little food and poor sleep, he looked almost like a refugee when they finally found him.
When Hou Yichuan heard the news, they had already found him, and at first, he was quite worried.
But after seeing his photos, all that was left was laughter.
After hearing the story, Chu Tian couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
"President Chu, how can you... have you guys had enough? I almost died, you know?"
"Alright, alright, sorry. I’m professionally trained not to laugh... PFFT—HAHAHA!"
"Is it really that funny?"
Seeing Chu Tian laughing again, Wei Liangxiao was genuinely angry.
"No, no, I just thought of sothing funny."
Chu Tian quickly waved his hand and explained.
Unfortunately, Wei Liangxiao didn’t believe him at all.
But this ti, Chu Tian really wasn’t laughing at him. As he was trying to explain himself, he suddenly rembered a movie from his past life. A short video clip from it, featuring two policen, had been a popular that people found hilarious for years. The sudden mory made him unable to hold back his laughter.
"AHEM. So, uh, let’s get down to business. Wei, how is your new show coming along?"
"That’s exactly what I ca here to talk about!"
Wei Liangxiao didn’t even look up, not wanting to look at these two tactless n, and spoke in a disgruntled tone.
"Here, this is the application material; the application has already been submitted through OA. Can you two bosses please help approve it?"
Seeing this, Chu Tian dared not laugh anymore, and while looking through the materials, he said,
"Tell about it, how far along is it? How long before you start filming?"
Speaking of official matters, the three of them got serious, unlike their previous joviality.
"This packet contains two docunts, one for the new show and one for the old show."
"Previously, President Hou told that ’King of Mask Singer’ has been doing well and to start preparing for the final concert. I have already prepared a plan. Take a look, and if there are no issues, we can proceed with this plan. If there are issues, let’s address them promptly."
"The docunt below is for the new show. This ti, I plan to start with the international segnt. I haven’t finished scouting the dostic locations yet; I’m planning to take another look and then co up with a comprehensive plan."
"’Divas Hit the Road’? Choosing to film the first season abroad?"
"Yes, I’ve researched, and the show’s requirents for locations aren’t very strict. Actually, most dostic viewers have never been abroad, so this also serves as a draw."
"So I thought of putting the first season abroad. On one hand, it’s a travel journey for the celebrities, and on the other hand, there’s an international travel aspect, both of which are very topical."
Chu Tian listened, nodded, and did not say much.
"Okay, you’re the director, your decision is fine."
He glanced again, found no problems, and handed the materials to Hou Yichuan.
Seeing this, Wei Liangxiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After all, everyone in the workplace knows that when you submit a proposal to the leadership, it’s the most nerve-wracking mont.
You fear that a careless mistake might get it sent back, and, more often than not, that’s exactly what happens.
Only corporate drones truly understood how painful it was to have sothing they’d worked on day and night rejected by leadership with a single comnt.
So seeing that Chu Tian had no objections, he finally relaxed. After all, if the big boss said it was okay, surely President Hou wouldn’t nitpick, would he?
But before he could fully relax, Chu Tian looked at Wei Liangxiao with a smile and said,
"Alright, now that we’ve got the official business out of the way, let’s talk about sothing personal."
"Personal? What personal matter?"
Wei Liangxiao looked at him with a baffled face, his CPU smoking, unable to recall any personal matters he had with Chu Tian.
"I heard you sent an invitation to Xu Qingqiu?"
Oh, so that was it. Wei Liangxiao imdiately understood.
"Yes, I feel Xu Qingqiu is quite suitable. I worked with her on ’King of Mask Singer’ before, and I think she’s pretty great."
"The key thing is, she’s incredibly popular right now and a hot topic. Plus, her fan base is very broad."
"The most important point, Xu Qingqiu has never participated in a reality show like this before. Her participation would definitely make a splash."
As Wei Liangxiao rambled on, Chu Tian’s smile slowly turned strange.
"You like making a splash, huh? I think you, as a director, are quite a sensation yourself."
"Huh? What do you an? ? What sensation could I possibly bring to the table? Don’t joke around."
Wei Liangxiao hadn’t realized what was happening yet, and he awkwardly waved his hands, looking embarrassed.
"Who says there’s none? What if I posted this picture of you on the official website, right, and also on the page introducing your shows? Wouldn’t that create a buzz?"
As he spoke, he even pointed to Hou Yichuan’s phone lying on the table.
"A famous variety show director who turned out to be a wild man? How’s that for a buzz?"
"Don’t... eh? Why though?"
Wei Liangxiao was genuinely baffled. Isn’t this just asking for social ruin? What grudge, what grievance warrants this?
By then, having finished reviewing the docunts, Hou Yichuan also ca over. Seeing Wei Liangxiao’s pitiful expression, he curiously asked,
"What’s going on? Is Wei being squeezed?"
Chu Tian replied with a smile,
"Yes, Wei did sothing quite significant."
"What did he do?"
"He sent Xu Qingqiu an invitation for a new show."
"A new show? ’Divas Hit the Road’? Is there a problem with that?"
Yeah, is there a problem with that?
For a mont, Chu Tian was at a loss for words, because there was no such thing as Divas Hit the Road in this world, nor the epic fights that lasted an entire season, nor the Female Asuras from his forr life.
So he was left speechless.
After struggling for a long ti without finding the right words, Chu Tian simply gave up.
"Never mind. It’s nothing serious. I’m just pulling your leg. Also, in the future when you send invitations to Xu Qingqiu, it’s best to let know first."
Wei Liangxiao, still clueless about what was going on, instinctively asked,
"Why? Do you have a grudge against her?"
Unable to stand it anymore, Hou Yichuan quickly explained,
"Don’t talk nonsense, what grudge would there be? She’s the boss’s lady!"
"Boss’s lady? What do you an?"
"Co on, Wei, did your divorce leave you clueless? She’s President Chu’s girlfriend!"
"President Chu? Girlfriend?!! Xu Qingqiu and President Chu? Is she alright?"
Hey, what does that an? Chu Tian was imdiately displeased.
"Are you alright? Am I that bad?"
"Uh..."
For a mont, Wei Liangxiao didn’t know how to respond.
"Not exactly bad, just a bit unreliable..."
Chu Tian rolled his eyes, choosing not to argue with him. How dare he slander the boss? I’ll secretly dock his bonus next ti.
As he was thinking about docking his pay, Wei Liangxiao made another comnt that stunned everyone.
"So, if I don’t contact Xu Qingqiu, can I contact her agent?"
"The agent? Sister Hua? What are you up to?"
Chu Tian, observing Wei Liangxiao’s evasive eyes, felt sothing was off. Could this kid possibly be...?
