Chapter 259: Chapter 259 Brother Hao, I’m Begging You

“Ha ha ha! Brother Hao, you’re simply a god!” After popping the champagne, Liu Qisheng wrapped an arm around Wang Hao, laughing loudly, “With this show you’ve got, it’s going to be a hit! A huge hit!”

The other TV station members also crowded around, chattering excitedly, “Brother Hao, you’re truly invincible!” “That was a Phaeton! I’m dying of laughter!” “Talk about the literary cultivation of a qualified host!” “His reaction was so quick, his basics are rock solid!” “Every time I watch it, I’m impressed, take a bow to you!”

“So that’s how it is,” Wang Hao was still somewhat in shock, “I thought they were about to carry me off to the kitchen and turn me into a barbecue pork bun, you scared me to death!”

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, “Ha ha ha ha! Brother Hao is joking!”

Today’s program can be said to be a great success. Everyone from the TV station present was extremely excited. It would not be an exaggeration to say they had never seen a show cause such a sensation before!

After all, a good show means high viewer ratings, and high ratings mean that the price of advertising can be sold for more!

Advertising is the lifeline of a TV station, only if ad slots are sold can they make money!

Thus, a bunch of people came over to congratulate Wang Hao, their attitudes genuinely sincere.

Holding his glass of wine, Mr. Liu looked at the lively atmosphere and was very pleased. But after being happy for a while, he felt slightly regretful.

“Alas, everything is great, it’s just a pity we couldn’t keep Mr. Zheng Qitian here,” Mr. Liu took a sip of his drink and shook his head helplessly, “He’s the boss of a listed company, spending tens of millions on advertising a year!”

It’s no wonder he felt it was a pity; tens of millions in advertising fees isn’t a small sum. A client like that is someone any TV station would go out of their way to win over.

What a pity, it was a missed opportunity.

“But nevermind, with Wang Hao’s show being so hot, our station’s overall ratings will definitely get a huge boost,” Liu Qisheng smiled to himself, thinking, “I shouldn’t be too concerned about gains and losses. If he doesn’t buy, someone else probably will…”

But just as he thought this, he heard a knock on the door.

Who could be knocking at this time? Don’t they know we’re celebrating?

Annoyed, Liu Qisheng walked over and as soon as he opened the door, he began to rant, “We’re having a celebration here, can’t it wait?”

Then he froze, “It’s… you!”

Standing at the door was none other than Zheng Qitian’s secretary, Sun Miaoyun!

“Hello,” Sun Miaoyun smiled at Liu Qisheng, “Mr. Zheng would like to see you and Mr. Wang Hao.”

Mr. Zheng Qitian wants to see him and Wang Hao! And he was just at the show!

Holy shit, the effect of this show is incredible! Even a duck that’s flown the coop can be pulled back!

This is great news! Really great news!

So, Liu Qisheng immediately became excited! Full of confidence!

“Of course, of course!” Liu Qisheng revealed the most amiable smile, “Please tell Mr. Zheng that I have a few words to say here, and please go to the reception room with Mr. Zheng and rest. We’ll come to see him right after I talk to Wang Hao!”

“All right,” Sun Miaoyun smiled and nodded, then she left.

After Sun Miaoyun had gone far, Liu Qisheng looked around, then gently closed the door. Once the door was shut, he clenched his fists tightly and laughed loudly, “Oh yeah! Ha ha ha ha ha! What great news!”

“Once he mentioned there was great news, all the people from the TV station present immediately became curious, “What’s this great news that has you so happy, Mr. Liu?” “Yeah, yeah, come on, share with us, let’s all be happy too!”

“Everybody, quiet down!” When the room had quieted, Liu Qisheng said with a smile, “Here’s the thing, Zheng Qitian, the president of Duobao Company, was just watching ‘If You Are the One’ live, and now that the show is over, he wants to meet with me and Brother Hao. What does this mean? It means he’s definitely interested in cooperating with our TV station! And he’s not just anyone—he’s the president of Duobao Herbal Tea!”

Hearing this, everyone was first taken aback, followed by cheers erupting from all around!

“Great news! This really is great news!”

“Isn’t it just! Duobao Company is a big corporation with a market value of tens of billions! If they partner with us, imagine how much the advertising fees will be?!”

“Hahaha, our company is really going to be top-notch now! Huge!”

“Duobao Company, hm! I’ve heard their advertising budget is a billion a year!”

“Exactly, exactly, and then there’s our TV station’s stock value—it’s bound to skyrocket too!”

Everyone was cheering jubilantly, looking at the protagonist with reverence akin to worship. Such an event was truly unprecedented!

At this moment, Liu Qisheng pulled Wang Hao aside and said with a laugh, “Brother Hao, you have got to help us close this deal today! The advertising fees are tens of millions a year—it’s not a small amount!”

“What’s the big deal…” Wang Hao curled his lips dismissively, “Getting so excited over such a small matter… We had an agreement before that I would be in charge of the advertisements for the show. You can’t break that promise!”

“Oh, I know that,” Liu Qisheng said, dragging Wang Hao along, “Your show becoming a hit will definitely boost our TV station’s overall popularity quite a bit. And if our stock price goes up too, that’s no small money! Besides, he’s not going to advertise on just your show once a week, right? As long as the cooperation with you is successful, we’ll surely get to air some of his other timeslot advertisements as well!”

He wasn’t wrong. After all, according to Wang Hao’s intentions, ‘If You Are the One’ was set to air just one episode a week for now. Naturally, if they were advertising, they couldn’t possibly do it only once a day, could they? During the remaining time, they would likely choose other programs for additional advertising spots.

“You have a point,” Wang Hao said, nodding as he stroked his chin, “Alright then, I’ll meet with him first to see what’s up. But let me make it clear, you can wish all you want, but the final decision lies with me. We can’t mix this up; we had an agreement about this, right? You even put your thumbprint on it, hehe.”

“Brother Hao,” Liu Qisheng pleaded, dragging Wang Hao to a corner and praying with his hands together, “You know how the TV station is not doing well. This could be an opportunity for us. Mr. Zheng’s industry chain under his command is extensive. For example, if he advertises his herbal tea in your show, he could arrange for ads for orange juice, green tea, and so forth in our other programs. So everything’s up for negotiation. Brother Hao, I’m begging you, you must agree, this is a matter of life and death for our TV station! Please, please help me with this. I promise, if you have any other great shows in the future, our TV station will support you wholeheartedly!”

Wang Hao couldn’t really say much in response to that, and after some thought, he nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll do my best!”

Soon the two arrived at the reception room, and the moment Wang Hao walked in, he saw a middle-aged man around forty years old sitting on the sofa, with a female secretary in her thirties standing beside him.

It was quite usual for men in high positions to have somewhat intimate behaviors with their female secretaries in such settings, but Zheng Qitian seemed to treat his secretary with a respectful distance, which made Wang Hao regard him more highly.

However, there was another person in the room that caught Wang Hao off guard—Wei Ming, who had previously been kicked out!

“Mr. Liu, Teacher Wang Hao!” As soon as they entered, Zheng Qitian was the first to stand and extend his hand with a smile, “I am Zheng Qitian. Mr. Liu and I are old friends, but this is my first meeting with Teacher Wang Hao.”

“Hello, hello,” Liu Qisheng and Wang Hao took their seats after shaking hands, and Liu Qisheng said, “Mr. Zheng, since we’re old friends, I won’t hide anything from you. This program was entirely planned by Wang Hao. We agreed at the time of signing the contract that Teacher Wang Hao would make all decisions concerning this show. So, Mr. Zheng, you don’t need to ask for my opinion. Anything you need to discuss, you can talk to him directly while I just sit back and enjoy the show.”

“Haha, I admire your courage,” Zheng Qitian gave a thumbs up to Liu Qisheng, “Not many people would have the guts to do something like this. Liu, you’ve really found a treasure!”

Liu Qisheng smiled. Speaking of which, he was quite proud of having discovered Wang Hao’s idea.

Wei Ming, sitting on the side, pursed his lips—the show hadn’t even aired yet, who knew what the ratings would be? What was there to be smug about?
