Become Husband And Wife According To Pleasure - Chapter 93
Chapter 93: A Real Relationship (3)
When everyone was almost done with their greetings, Cao Tingping came over, knocked on the host’s office door and said, “Let’s start the meeting.”
The topic of this meeting was the Lantern Festival Evening Party, since it was close to the Spring Festival and the enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival was relatively low. This, coupled with the requirement to be thrifty and frugal in hosting parties, resulted in the Lantern Festival being a relatively simple event compared to other festivals.
The host of the party was not as demanding as the Spring Festival, with four variety show hosts set. Also, this time Su Qiuzi was arranged to be the host of the off-site quiz show, which would be her first time participating in such festivities as a host.
Cao Tingping looked at Su Qiuzi with the look of deep appreciation, “This event is not as big, but for the interns, there is plenty of room for them to grow after hosting the event. And if the host makes a great performance, it will leave a lasting impression on the audience.”
Afterward, Cao Tingping turned to Cai Jiayu and said, “As for Little Cai, she is not as experienced or capable as Little Su. But to be fair, you should also be given the opportunity to be exposed to the public. Before the Lantern Festival Evening Party, the station has asked to record a promotional video to celebrate the party to be broadcast on the TV station, so you’ll do that then.”
When the chief made an arrangement, he appeared to be fair, but in reality, he was clearly biased and everyone in the room had a different attitude towards it.
It would be the first time the interns presided over the show. While it was good for them not to be nervous, how much more brilliant could they be? Besides, at a small event like the Lantern Festival where ratings were average, how many audiences could be impressed even if they could do it brilliantly?
A promotional video was not a host-related job, but with the host involved in the recording and putting an intern in the center of it, it was equivalent to a group of judges electing a new TV host. After the production of the promotional video, it will be broadcasted on TV every day on prime time slot before the Lantern Festival and this was basically the real opportunity to draw the audience’s attention.
Things were moving like a domino effect, starting at the time of the Spring Festival recording, with Cai Jiayu falling in an increasingly better direction and her collapsing in an increasingly worse direction.
The meeting ended and the hosts left from the meeting room. Zhu Meng didn’t look too good and the variety show host, Liu Qing, laughed at her as she walked away, “I told you that you and your apprentice are too honest.”
Liu Qing was beautiful, a TV variety shows number one senior and a friend of many stars in the entertainment industry. Among the hosts, she was considered quite bold.
The moment she said this, Cai Jiayu, who was following behind Chen Ming and also heading out, heard her words. Cai Jiayu raised her eyes to look carefully at Liu Qing, but then her gaze fell on Chen Ming. The young girl looked fair and slim, with a pair of puppy eyes that made anyone who looked at her feel pitiful.
Cao Tingping’s reputation within the TV station wasn’t particularly good and was actually indistinguishable from many of the interns. However, in the beginning, he was optimistic about Su Qiuzi and promoted Cai Jiayu as well. When it came to New Year’s eve, he treated both interns fairly.
But the scales tipped in favor of Cai Jiayu at the Spring Festival Evening Party.
What happened in the auditorium at that time, several of the hosts witnessed it. Now that Cao Tingping had made this decision, others might still be suspicious, but they were certain that Cao Tingping and Cai Jiayu had some kind of relationship.
Chen Ming was not in a position to judge his apprentice’s personal work ethics, but being told so by Liu Qing, Cai Jiayu turned to him for help and he had to speak up for her.
Chen Ming said, “That’s too much, alright.”
“What do you mean by too much?” Liu Qing retorted, she looked at Cai Jiayu and laughed, “I’m just planning ahead. When someone has such a tight relationship, there’s no telling when the fire will reach me.”
Cai Jiayu was a variety show host-to-be, while Liu Qing was a senior member of Xia City TV’s variety show. Cai Jiayu was still in her internship, but the direction in which she went was towards her.
If Cai Jiayu was well developed, the two would really have to compete with each other.
But that’s all for later, after all, Liu Qing’s foundation was deep and many of the stars who participated in the station’s program were looking out for her presence. It wouldn’t be that easy for Cai Jiayu to climb to her position.
As several of them were chatting, they dispersed to record their own shows.
For these things in the professional circle, people were so accustomed to them that they had their own set of standards for handling it. If the leader did this kind of thing, they would just talk behind the scenes and wouldn’t say anything in front of him. Liu Qing’s words just now were just a prick to Cai Jiayu and it would still take some time for Cai Jiayu to reach her level.
But now Cai Jiayu’s fire was one that had already burned into Su Qiuzi’s ass.
Su Qiuzi couldn’t help it, Liu Qing was right, regardless of whether this relationship was proper or not, it would work as long as it was sufficiently firm. Everyone knew by heart now about Cai Jiayu and Cao Tingping’s relationship and the reason for this was because Cao Tingping was too lazy to conceal it. Since he’s too lazy to hide it, he should not be afraid of being exposed.
So what was she supposed to do?
