“Yang.”
Li Manni naturally couldn’t call him ‘Brother-in-law’ on such occasions.
Moreover, in her heart, she was actually trying to avoid calling him ‘Brother-in-law’. She had tried calling him ‘Yang’ twice before, but Yang Hao corrected her each time, saying that she should continue to call him ‘Brother-in-law’ and that their relationship wasn’t affected by his divorce from her sister Li Manshu.
What Li Manni didn’t know was that having a ‘little sister-in-law buff’ was a bonus point!
Without this buff, although Li Manni was still outstanding, she lacked a certain charm.
“How’s it going? Are you getting used to this job?”
Yang Hao, looking at his little sister-in-law who had been designated by the System as a big boss, asked with a chuckling smile.
“Yeah, I’m getting quite used to it.”
Li Manni nodded, “Although it’s my first time hosting an entertainment show, Quan has been taking good care of me.”
He Quan’s ability to become the top host at Jiangcheng Satellite TV stemmed not only from his solid professional skills but also from his interpersonal skills and high emotional intelligence.
For Li Manni, a “celebrity”, to parachute in as the host of “My Idol”, and with Director Hu himself asking to take care of her, it was clear to anyone with a grain of sense that her background must be very powerful.
Thus, He Quan took very good care of Li Manni purely in the way a senior takes care of a junior, not daring to have any improper thoughts, as he knew the person backing her was not someone he could afford to provoke.
“Well, that’s good!”
Yang Hao nodded, looking instinctively at He Quan who was not far away, remembering him and thinking he owed him a favor to return someday.
“Given Manni’s qualifications, if she weren’t with Tianmei Media, I’d want to poach her for our Jiangcheng Satellite TV!”
Hu Wanguo praised her with a hearty laugh, his words half-truthful yet also an affirmation of Li Manni.
“With talents like Mr. He at Jiangcheng Satellite TV, Director Hu shouldn’t be eyeing Manni.”
Yang Hao replied with a smile, while also mentioning He Quan’s name.
Hu Wanguo immediately understood and waved at He Quan, who quickly walked over.
In fact, He Quan had been wanting to come over earlier, but he knew how to gauge the situation well. With Hu Wanguo accompanying a man who was clearly an important guest, and not knowing his identity, it would have been presumptuous to greet him without Hu Wanguo’s summons.
But it was different when Hu Wanguo called him over.
“This is Mr. Yang from Tianmei Media.”
“I was just praising you a moment ago!”
Hu Wanguo took the initiative to introduce Yang Hao’s identity, as the latter had just mentioned He Quan’s name, obviously wanting to meet him.
“Thank you, Mr. Yang!”
He Quan quickly thanked him politely. Tianmei Media was a top domestic entertainment company, and He Quan, who was also in the entertainment circle, knew that getting on good terms with such a magnate would be highly beneficial.
“Manni mentioned that Mr. He has been taking good care of her. I’ll take you out for a meal when we’re less busy!”
Yang Hao said with a smile on his face.
“It’s nothing but a lift of a hand, Mr. Yang is too courteous!”
He Quan shook his head, then added, “However, if Mr. Yang is inviting, then I must certainly go!”
“Alright, then it’s settled!”
Yang Hao was not merely being polite. “My Idol” had a total of twelve episodes, with a rather long recording cycle.
He would need He Quan’s help in looking after Li Manni in the future. Plus, with He Quan’s high EQ, Yang Hao was also willing to form a good connection.
The contestants’ rest area.
All the girls’ eyes were also focused on Yang Hao, Hu Wanguo, and the others, and although most did not know their identities, seeing host He Quan act so humbly before them, they could imagine the prestige of these men.
“Does anyone know who they are?”
“They seem really powerful!”
“People whom Quan respects so much must be amazing!”
“Who are these big shots actually, can someone fill us in?”
The girls whispered to each other in low voices.
Your journey continues with empire
Those who recognized Director Hu Wanguo spoke with pride, “That’s Director Hu from Jiangcheng Satellite TV, don’t you all recognize him?”
“So it’s Director Hu, no wonder he looked so familiar!”
“I remember now, I’ve seen him on TV!”
“No wonder Quan treated him with so much respect, turns out he’s a leader!”
Everyone began to express their astonishment.
“Who is that handsome uncle?”
“He’s not really an uncle, at most a brother!”
“It seems like Director Hu respects him a lot!”
“Yeah, someone respected by Director Hu must also be a big shot!”
“I really want to cling onto the thighs of such a big shot!”
The girls’ attention once again fell on Yang Hao. Compared to the paunchy Director Hu Wanguo, the tall and handsome Yang Hao was obviously more attractive.
There’s no helping it, this is an age that judges by appearance!
This is true for both men and women!
Naturally, among the contestants, there were those who recognized Yang Hao. Aside from the Little White Flower, Chen Ruohan, You Qianyi and Xia Qin had also met Yang Hao, but the three of them did not take the initiative to reveal Yang Hao’s identity. After all, he was their big boss, and they did not know whether Yang Hao wanted to expose his identity or not.
The best choice at this time was to keep silent.
“That uncle is really quite handsome!”
“He’s totally my type!”
Fang Tong said to her roommate Wang Han in the crowd.
The two came together to sign up for the competition and, being talented students from Hucheng Music Academy and having good personal image, both entered the final round.
But they were typically just cannon fodder, neither having any significant backing. It was only today that Fang Tong managed to connect with Lu Chuanyu,
and the latter’s willingness to acknowledge her as his little junior sister was primarily to have her help connect him with Chen Ruohan, an effort that ultimately failed.
Although Lu Chuanyu didn’t explicitly say anything, he had silently blacklisted Fang Tong in his mind, since she was no longer of any use to him!
“I like him too!”
“Looks like he’s a big shot too!”
Wang Han nodded and echoed her statement.
And, while the two were quietly discussing, Yang Hao’s gaze just happened to sweep over their direction.
Fang Tong and Wang Han instinctively sat up straighter and slightly adjusted their clothes, posing as if they were ready for the picking.
Although they didn’t know who Yang Hao was, they knew he was someone who could change their fate; his glance their way was their opportunity, and who knows, they might be the ones chosen!
However, as the two anticipated his gaze, Yang Hao’s eyes simply swept over them without pausing for a moment.
They instinctively followed his gaze, and then they saw that his focus eventually locked onto Chen Ruohan.
“Huh?”
“This big shot wouldn’t have taken a fancy to Chen Ruohan too, would he!”
Fang Tong’s eyes widened in shock, with both astonishment and jealousy displayed on her face.
First it was Brother Yu, and now this mysterious big shot!
Do men just like Chen Ruohan that much??
Envy filled Fang Tong’s eyes.
She silently grumbled in her heart: I’m sexier than her!
Look at me, big shots!
