Actually, it wasn’t just the contestants who were paying attention to the situation between Yang Hao and Hu Wanguo; the three mentors’ focus was also on them, as they all knew Hu Wanguo.
Xiao Yinqiu naturally knew both of them.
However, Tang Rui and Lu Chuanyu did not know Yang Hao and could only deduce from Hu Wanguo’s attitude that the man must be some big shot!
Therefore, at this moment, their attention was also on Yang Hao, and then, like Fang Tong and Wang Han, they followed Yang Hao’s gaze, which finally landed on Chen Ruohan.
Lu Chuanyu immediately frowned—this mysterious big shot had set his sights on the same girl he was interested in!
What Tang Rui was thinking was that Chen Ruohan had this big shot as her backer!
Before the official recording of the show, Tang Rui had already received a notification from the program team asking her to take special care of Chen Ruohan to ensure she wasn’t eliminated.
This kind of behind-the-scenes operation is very common in variety shows. Sometimes the program team would communicate with all the mentors, and other times they would only talk to one or two of them.
This depended on the nature of the program and the level of cooperation from the mentors. Many stars who serve as mentors actually hate underhanded dealings, so they refuse to cooperate with the program team.
But most artists wouldn’t resist such unwritten rules, as they too are subject to various unspoken rules within the industry.
According to the rules of “My Idol,” as long as one mentor stands up for a contestant, that contestant could advance to the top sixteen.
Therefore, the program team communicated with Tang Rui in advance about Chen Ruohan, so Tang Rui knew that Chen Ruohan was a seed contestant, but she was unaware of her background.
Now she somewhat understood—Chen Ruohan must be connected to that big shot!
“Qiuqiu, do you know that person?”
Tang Rui asked Xiao Yinqiu, who was sitting to her right, out of curiosity.
“He’s our company’s boss,” Xiao Yinqiu replied truthfully.
“Ah?”
“Your Tianmei’s new boss is so young!”
The change of Tianmei Media’s boss was big news in the entertainment circle. Everyone knew that Tianmei Media had a new owner, but the person had not appeared in public, so there was a sense of mystery.
Everyone had thought that Tianmei Media’s new boss would be a middle-aged or older person. No one expected it to be someone as young as Yang Hao!
“Yes, Mr. Yang is quite young,” Xiao Yinqiu replied with a soft nod.
The bosses of other major entertainment companies at home are at least over fifty years old; in contrast, Yang Hao was significantly younger.
Lu Chuanyu, overhearing their conversation, felt completely thrown for a loop.
Only now did he realize that the solid backing behind the woman he fancied, Li Manni, was the boss of Tianmei Media!
And the two women he had set his sights on, Xiao Yinqiu and Chen Ruohan, were both artists under Tianmei Media!
Damn it!
Being the boss really has its perks!!
Internally cursing, Lu Chuanyu felt a sudden sense of defeat upon learning Yang Hao’s identity. He suddenly thought that Xiao Yinqiu, Li Manni, and Chen Ruohan seemed to be involved with the boss of Tianmei Media!
After all, if he were the boss of Tianmei Media, he certainly wouldn’t miss out on such top-tier beauties!
It’s maddening!
Lu Chuanyu clenched his teeth and his fists in jealousy!
He then cast another glance at Xiao Yinqiu with the corner of his eye, thinking to himself that even if she was involved with Tianmei Media’s boss, it shouldn’t affect his prospects of developing a relationship with her, right?
After all, the entertainment circle is a chaotic mess, and one of his card buddies is even a model wife of showbiz. That female celebrity maintains a public persona of a virtuous wife and good mother, but in private, she’s quite the flirt!
Yang Hao came to the recording site of “My Idol” mainly to support his younger sister-in-law, Li Manni. It was her first time hosting a variety show like this, and with the “Internet celebrity” label on her, she was bound to face all sorts of difficulties.
Yang Hao’s public appearance to show support would make Li Manni’s work much smoother afterwards. In the entertainment circle, as in real life, opportunism is quite common.
Knowing that Li Manni has such a powerful backer, those with ulterior motives would be forced to give up, like Su Xiuxiu who had previously entertained the idea of swapping positions with Li Manni.
At the moment, the other party was silently standing in a corner of the stage, repeatedly going over in her mind the phone call she had made in the dressing room, wondering if Li Manni had overheard everything!
If Li Manni had indeed heard it all, was her position as assistant host becoming unstable?
Her backing was nothing more than a director at Jiangcheng Satellite TV who had some say within the station, but for “My Idol,” a show financed by Tianmei Media, that director certainly didn’t have much clout.
Originally feeling resentful, Su Xiuxiu no longer had any thoughts of contention, and those crew members who had looked down on Li Manni for being an “Internet celebrity” retracted their dismissive attitudes. This was the significance of Yang Hao making an appearance!
Clever as Li Manni was, she could naturally guess the purpose of Yang Hao’s visit and couldn’t help but silently thank her brother-in-law in her heart.
Actually, when he was at Jiangcheng Newspaper Group, Yang Hao had employed similar tactics. When Li Manni first became the director of the New Media Center, many people were opposed to it. Yang Hao publicly stood by her and, as the CEO, once he spoke out, others naturally didn’t dare to say anything more.
Yang Hao didn’t linger too long on the recording site. Once his purpose was achieved, he left, as they still had a show to tape!
After leaving the studio, Yang Hao followed Hu Wanguo and several executives from Jiangcheng Satellite TV to a private restaurant nearby.
This time, Hu Wanguo did indeed have an important cooperation project to discuss with Yang Hao, such as co-producing a TV series.
The main business of Tianmei Media is actually in the direction of TV dramas, having produced many dramas with both good reputations and high viewership.
Besides variety shows, TV dramas are also a major battleground for competition among various satellite TVs, as a good drama can not only bring considerable ratings to a TV station but also lead to immeasurable invisible profits.
Jiangcheng Satellite TV wanted to partner with Tianmei Media to create several exclusive series. Given the current TV drama investments amounting to hundreds of millions, the collaboration on several series was indeed a big project!
The dinner was quite pleasant, and the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation intention. The subsequent details did not require Yang Hao’s personal attention anymore and could be left to Wang Jingru.
After the dinner, Yang Hao got into the Maybach driven by Wang Jingru. With his elder sister-in-law driving and him sitting in the passenger seat, his hand instinctively rested on her voluptuous thigh.
After drinking, certain ideas would become stronger. Yang Hao’s fingers lightly brushed a few times, and Wang Jingru instantly caught on. At her age, her needs were only increasing, and she rarely had the chance to be alone with Yang Hao. Naturally, she wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to make several billion.
“Yang, stop it~”
She cooed with a complaint, and at that moment the “stop it” clearly just added to the mood. The elder sister-in-law couldn’t help but recall the joyful times in that BYD Qin.
“Yang, are we still going to Binjiang Park?”
Wang Jingru asked in a low voice while holding the steering wheel.
“Let’s change places.”
“Change to where?”
Wang Jingru asked casually.
“Xueru’s coffee shop.”
“Let’s go there and do it, exchange some ideas!”
With his face slightly flushed from the alcohol, Yang Hao continued to speak, his hands carrying on their motion without pause. Explore hidden tales at empire
Hearing the location, Wang Jingru’s eyebrows raised, Yang Hao actually wanted to take her to his sister’s coffee shop for an intimate exchange??
This…
Wang Jingru subconsciously swallowed, and just as the thought passed through her mind, a part of her body spasmed involuntarily.
