"Xiao Shanshan, listen to !" Wu Longcai hesitated when he saw Xiao Shanshan storm off in anger, but ultimately he got up with a bitter smile and chased after her.
"What's there to talk about, Wu Longcai? Now that you've beco so popular and important, you don't even have to give face to Station Head Guo!" Xiao Shanshan walked away angrily, her high heels clacking and her movents exaggerated due to her irritation, drawing sidelong glances from many onlookers.
"You already have your own show, Xiao Shanshan, so why are you joining in the excitent here and making things difficult for ?" Wu Longcai said with a wry smile.
"Difficult? What's so difficult about it? Is it Liu Manman or Wu Shiyi who's causing you difficulty? I think it's just that Station Head Guo doesn't carry enough weight." Xiao Shanshan said disdainfully.
Xiao Shanshan was also from the provincial station, but her hosted program had never taken off, which is why she wanted to take advantage of "Happy Girls' Voice" to rise to the top. She was naturally very clear about the backgrounds of Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi.
Liu Manman had so backing in the past, but now her support had fallen from power. As for Wu Shiyi, she ca from a small place and was a newcor; she couldn't have much of a background.
Had there truly been a strong backing, with the popularity that Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi were enjoying now, even with Station Head Guo's connections, Xiao Shanshan wouldn't dare to lay a finger on them. Therefore, in Xiao Shanshan's view, Wu Longcai was just being arrogant and making excuses.
"You're going too far with that, Xiao Shanshan. Is there anyone in the provincial station who carries more weight than Station Head Guo? I really am in a tough spot," Wu Longcai said with a pained expression.
Wu Longcai had vaguely heard about Xiao Shanshan's relationship with the station head and would have given her face on other matters. However, "Happy Girls' Voice" was his passion project, and with Ge Dongxu involved, how could he dare to just replace Liu Manman and Wu Shiyi?
"Fine, I get it," Xiao Shanshan said coldly, nodding, as she rapidly clicked away in her high heels, swaying her hips as she left hurriedly.
Wu Longcai initially wanted to chase after her to say a few more words but his eyes suddenly lit up as he quickly went to greet Ge Dongxu and Tang Yiyuan, who were approaching the entrance.
Feng Yaping was driving another car and hadn't arrived yet.
"Brother Xu, Professor Tang, hello," Wu Longcai said, already beaming with a smile before he even reached them.
Qinghe Herbal Tea was the exclusive title sponsor for the first episode of "Happy Girls' Voice," and Tang Yiyuan was one of its shareholders. Wu Longcai, as the director of this program, had t him once or twice.
"The beauty is mad and walking away; you should go chase after her," Ge Dongxu shook hands with Wu Longcai, then turned back to glance at the sulking Xiao Shanshan, who was walking away with her voluptuous behind swaying, and said with a smile.
"Let her be, it's nothing," Wu Longcai tried to appear casual and didn't detail the specific issue.
Wu Longcai was a man of responsibility. He knew very well that a big shot like Ge Dongxu should only be called upon in the most crucial monts. It was better not to disturb him with trivial matters, as doing so too often would diminish his importance in Ge Dongxu's eyes and could even beco a nuisance.
This was easy to understand. It's like a subordinate who needs to consult the leader for every little thing and requests the leader's personal involvent to resolve every issue. Such a subordinate would probably be dismissed by the leader very quickly.
As a leader, soone who is higher up, he prefers subordinates who are not only loyal but also capable of relieving him of his worries and standing on their own.
While Wu Longcai was not a subordinate of Ge Dongxu, the principle was the sa.
Seeing Wu Longcai saying it was nothing, Ge Dongxu naturally wouldn't inquire further into these personal matters, exchanged a few pleasantries, waved goodbye, and entered the lobby with Tang Yiyuan.
Feng Yaping arrived at the Wanghu Hotel in less than two minutes and, seeing Ge Dongxu and Tang Yiyuan already in the lobby, said with an apologetic expression, "It seems that I, the host, am actually the last to arrive."
"That's the traffic bureau to bla, not you, President Feng," Ge Dongxu said with a smile.
"It seems that Director Ge has so complaints about Linzhou City's traffic. When Governor Sang arrives later, I'll have to give him a good earful," Feng Yaping joked in response.
"Governor Sang is coming as well?" Ge Dongxu asked while walking towards the elevator with Feng Yaping and Tang Yiyuan.
"Of course he's coming. After all, you saved his life back then. We haven't had a proper chance to formally thank you yet," Feng Yaping said.
"It was nothing but a lift of my hand," Ge Dongxu humbly replied.
"Only you could say that. If it were any other doctor, with a severe heart condition like Governor Sang's, they would have been simply treating a dead horse as if it were alive," said Feng Yaping, her gaze on Ge Dongxu filled with a touch of reverence.
Back then, Ge Dongxu's casual intervention had brought her husband back from the brink, and even now, Feng Yaping's heart throbbed at the mory, unable to fathom that such miraculous dical skills could exist in this world.
Ge Dongxu smiled sheepishly at these words, but didn't downplay his actions further.
Not long after the three arrived at the private room, Sang Yunlong also arrived, accompanied by his secretary, Fang Ting.
However, this ti Fang Ting's attitude upon seeing Ge Dongxu was completely different compared to the first ti they t at the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University—now it was a mix of reverence and gratitude.
As Sang Yunlong's secretary, Fang Ting's career prospects were closely tied to Sang Yunlong. By saving Sang Yunlong, Ge Dongxu had effectively safeguarded his own professional future.
After lunch ended, Fang Ting found a suitable opportunity to give Ge Dongxu a business card, saying respectfully, "Director Ge, if there's anything you need in the future, don't hesitate to call ."
"Thank you, Director Fang," Ge Dongxu responded with a smile, nodding as he accepted the card.
As Sang Yunlong's secretary, who also held the position of deputy director of the Provincial Governnt's Office in Jiangnan Province, Fang Ting was well-placed to handle many matters that were inconvenient for Sang Yunlong due to his status.
Having had more dealings with officials, Ge Dongxu was gradually gaining an understanding of their ways. Thus, he realized that the seemingly simple act of handing over a business card by Fang Ting was actually filled with deeper implications.
The group left the private room, chatting and laughing as they made their way to the elevator.
At a window seat, Gao Yusi was having coffee with a very sexily dressed woman, breaking into a mischievous grin from ti to ti while the woman occasionally cast coquettish glances at him.
Suddenly, Gao Yusi's eyes widened drastically, his face even turning a bit pale.
"What's wrong, Young Master Gao? Seen another beauty?" The woman glanced at him then turned her head to follow his gaze, only to see a few people standing in front of the elevator. Her brows furrowed slightly, her face showing a hint of confusion.
"Damn! Good thing Brother Nan had the foresight yesterday. That was a close call," Gao Yusi murmured to himself as he watched Ge Dongxu and his party enter the elevator, still feeling shaken.
