"8.13! 8.13!"

The new clerk, clutching a sheet of data, rushed into the office with lightning speed. However, no one reprimanded his recklessness, because the Ruguan TV headquarters was already abuzz with celebration!

"ah!"

"Oh my god!"

"How much? Say it again?"

"Say it ten times, it's the same: last night's peak ratings were 8.13!"

Some people were gesticulating wildly, some were overturning chairs, and some even exaggeratedly knelt on the floor: "Year-end bonus... year-end bonus..."

The members of the publicity department hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces, wailing and crying. For the past month, Ru Guan had treated them like cattle, and this final moment had finally arrived!

"How much? My eyesight is failing me, can you help me take a look?"

Gu Wenhua knew that today was the day Ye Chu's drama's final ratings would be released, so he specifically asked his assistant to keep an eye out. However, after filming for half the night, his eyes were blurry, his head was dizzy, and he could barely see the small print on his phone screen.

The assistant squinted and read aloud: "Market share 21.4%, average rating 6.66%, peak rating? What? 8.13..."

Gu Wenhua leaped up from the stool, knocking over a pile of scripts and documents. He quickly bent down to pick them up, his hands trembling slightly.

"I'll treat everyone to milk tea!" Gu Wenhua said excitedly, straightening up after picking up the documents. "Everyone gets some!"

"President Ji is still asleep. Should we really disturb her?" an employee of Qingping Entertainment whispered.

"Of course we're going." He You pushed up his glasses. "This is the highest viewership in nearly ten years. Even if President Ji is still sleeping, or even if he's at home visiting his father's grave, he'd jump up at the news. If you guys aren't going, I will."

He You pushed open the door and entered. Ji Juntao's alarm clock was still ringing incessantly, but she was too tired to react to the deafening ringtone.

He You dared not touch Ji Juntao's phone, much less have any physical contact with his boss. After a moment's thought, he rolled up the documents in his hand and poked Ji Juntao.

Ji Juntao stirred and sleepily raised his head.

"Mr. Ji, the ratings are out."

Ji Juntao was confused for a very brief second, then his eyes widened suddenly, and he shook his head and slapped himself.

A crisp slap rang out, and He You immediately looked embarrassed. However, Ji Juntao didn't care about him anymore, quickly starting up the computer and skillfully refreshing the page.

After seeing the number clearly, Ji Juntao slammed his hand on the table, making the mouse tremble with a loud bang!

"Where is Ye Chu?" Ji Juntao stood up and gasped – his lumbar and cervical vertebrae were in rebellion.

“Sister Ye already knows,” He Youdao said. “She’s on her way to the company.”

[I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I still remember when "The Secret History of Donglou" broke 12% in ratings, I wasn't particularly happy then. Now that "Tianban" has reached 8.13%, I'm actually a little pleased. It seems that as one gets older, one's appetite diminishes.]

My drama, "Half River Water, A River of Love," also achieved a viewership rating of over 7.

Xu Hanwen replied below:

Let's not compare ratings from over a decade ago. Times have changed. These days, an 8.something rating is pretty good.

Screenwriter Liu Hong replied to Xu Hanwen: 【You get lost too.】
