Chapter 14 Chapter 14
According to Sun Hongfei, Wen Yue came to Dunhai City today because of a problem with a new project in Yihai District.
Wen Yue came specifically to solve the problem and incidentally inquire about the situation of "Boys' Training Camp."
However, Wen Yue was hastily called away by a phone call, and it wasn't until an hour later that his assistant, Tang Ling, notified Sun Hongfei and others to come to the Yihai Garden Resort Hotel.
This hotel is also a Wen family property, but it's under Wen Yue's second uncle. However, three months ago, Wen Yue took over the hotel and the Yihai District project.
Tang Ling told Sun Hongfei that Mr. Wen had a tight schedule, with a flight back to Beijing at 9 pm, so he only had one hour for the report at most.
Sun Hongfei immediately panicked.
They had originally prepared a two-hour report, but now they had to cut half the content. Where should they cut?!
At this moment, he saw Gu Xing, whose clothes were wrinkled and expression satisfied, walking down from the top-floor private elevator.
Sun Hongfei instantly understood!
Only Mr. Wen's lover, Mr. Gu, could make a phone call and take Mr. Wen away!
Thinking of this, he implicitly asked Tang Ling, "Assistant Tang, is Mr. Wen here to see someone?"
Tang Ling frowned.
Mr. Wen had given strict orders not to reveal anything about Shen Yu's private fan matter. Sun Hongfei must have heard some rumors.
Thinking of this, he coldly warned, "Manager Sun, don't ask what you shouldn't."
Sun Hongfei was stunned.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you two acting like a celebrity couple, having to hide it?!"
But on the surface, he obediently shut his mouth and said to Tang Ling, "Don't worry, Assistant Tang, I won't say a word!"
However, he already knew what content to cut and what to report!
Sun Hongfei followed Tang Ling to the top floor, to Wen Yue's exclusive presidential suite.
Wen Yue was standing by the window making a phone call.
Although only a back view, Sun Hongfei instantly felt the pressure.
After a while, Wen Yue hung up the phone, sat down at the desk, processed the documents Tang Ling handed over, and gestured to Sun Hongfei, "Speak."
Sun Hongfei immediately began to report on the situation of "Boys' Training Camp" during this period.
He first talked about the basic situation.
Wen Yue's expression showed no fluctuation, only occasionally interrupting him to ask key questions.
Sun Hongfei didn't expect him to be able to multitask and remember so clearly, and he didn't dare to be perfunctory at all.
After half an hour, this part of the report was finished.
Wen Yue also finished processing the documents.
He stood up, and Tang Ling had already brought his coat.
Wen Yue put on his coat and walked out, "Continue."
Sun Hongfei hurriedly followed, not daring to hesitate, and said directly, "Jin You sent six trainees to participate in the selection, but based on the previous season, Jin You's trainees are prone to cliques, and they pay more attention to their original agency after their debut, rather than the limited group. I'm a little worried, so I reduced two and added two from a new company."
He paused before saying, "The new company is called Le Shi, and the owner and manager is Gu Xing."
When Wen Yue heard Le Shi, he felt a moment of familiarity, but quickly dismissed this unimportant matter and said, "You did well in this matter."
The expected praise!
Sun Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief.
He guessed right!!
But Mr. Wen's composure was truly impressive, not even blinking when he heard his lover's name.
Of course, Mr. Wen didn't want others to know about his relationship with Mr. Gu, and Sun Hongfei, as a thoughtful subordinate, understood, and would definitely not say a word.
As they spoke, they had already reached the elevator.
The driver opened the car door for Wen Yue to get in.
Sun Hongfei bent over and asked with suggestive meaning, "Mr. Wen, is there anything else you need to instruct?"
Wen Yue: "?"
He looked at this unremarkable middle-aged man in surprise.
In fact, because of his imposing manner, most subordinates were like mice seeing a cat when they saw him, not daring to say a word. This was the first time he had encountered someone as bold as Sun Hongfei.
For this kind of person, he always encouraged them: "You're doing well. Fairness is the most important thing in this kind of talent show."
With that, the car drove away.
Leaving Sun Hongfei bewildered in the exhaust fumes.
-
After returning to the office, Sun Hongfei couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help but call his confidant Xiao Li to help analyze it.
Xiao Li frowned and hesitated, "Mr. Wen should be simply praising you, right?"
"Impossible!" Sun Hongfei denied without thinking.
He taught Xiao Li earnestly, "I've said it before, you can't just look at the surface of a leader's words, you have to dig deep into the subtext!"
Xiao Li: "Ah..."
Sun Hongfei: "I'll teach you a trick. Generally, in this kind of situation, first find the turning point, the turning point is the key point. If there's no turning point, then you have to grasp it in conjunction with the context. The key point of Mr. Wen's words is the last sentence..."
Xiao Li: "..."
Dead memories are attacking me!!!
Sun Hongfei was still carefully chewing on the meaning of the words.
He originally meant to ask Mr. Wen whether he should give Mr. Gu special consideration.
But Mr. Wen said that fairness is the most important thing. Does this mean he should act impartially and not give special treatment?
Something feels wrong?
At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly said, "Manager, I understand!"
"Hmm?" Sun Hongfei came back to his senses, "What do you understand? Tell me."
Xiao Li said confidently, "Based on Mr. Wen's deep love for Mr. Gu, and not wanting others to know, his mention of fairness is probably a hint that there are unfair phenomena in the program, that some people are giving Mr. Gu a hard time, and Mr. Wen can't directly intervene, so he has to hint at you, Manager!"
Sun Hongfei suddenly became enlightened.
That's the reason!!
Everything makes sense!
Mr. Wen received a call from Mr. Gu and hurried back to see him.
Mr. Gu probably complained a few words, but didn't allow Mr. Wen to help, so Mr. Wen, feeling sorry for his boyfriend, took a big detour to find himself.
Perfect logic!
But the next second, he saw the first episode that aired.
Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin only appeared for three minutes in total.
Two and a half minutes of the program, half a minute of self-introduction, even the mentor's evaluation segment was short and bland.
What additional tests! Chats!
None of it!
If this were released, even if the audience thought Meng and Cheng performed well, they would be affected, slightly lowering their evaluation of the two.
Don't underestimate this small decrease. The first impression is the basis of everything, and the more important this point becomes later, it may even determine the trainee's fate.
If he still couldn't see any tricks, Sun Hongfei would have been in vain in this industry for so many years!
He instantly felt a chill.
What is this!!
The leader picks up a dish, and you turn the table; the leader toasts you, and you don't drink. This will definitely affect your career!!
He immediately found Gu Xing, apologized humbly, and then said righteously, "Old Sun is the most fair and just. Who knew there were villains interfering, causing such a thing? But don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely give you an explanation!!"
Gu Xing also only learned about Jiang Mo's malicious intentions after watching the first episode.
He was furious.
This scumbag!
No wonder he hadn't been active recently, he was scheming here!
But is it really possible to be so fair and just?
Gu Xing was a little doubtful.
"Manager Sun, you're too kind. What are you planning to do next?"
Sun Hongfei became even more humble, "We originally planned to change the program flow to a live broadcast in the second half of this season, but now that this has happened, we are considering starting the live broadcast from the next episode and inviting a professional jury..."
The more Gu Xing listened, the brighter his eyes became.
No wonder "Boys' Training Camp" could become the industry's No. 1 talent show!
In this way, almost all unfair factors were minimized.
He had a lot of confidence in Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin's abilities. As long as fairness was guaranteed, their results would definitely not be bad!
But having said that, the revenge that should be taken must be taken!
Thinking of the evidence he had collected, he whispered something into Sun Hongfei's ear.
Sun Hongfei pondered, "This doesn't affect the program's progress and fairness. Okay, let's do as you said and add another segment."
Meanwhile, the internet exploded because of the broadcast of the first episode.
Because of the live broadcast activity, Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin's popularity soared, quickly rising from the bottom of the popularity rankings and taking first and second place with a large margin, while the third place was Yu Pingjia from Jin You.
After the first episode aired, Meng and Cheng, who had been highly anticipated, only made it into Class B, while Yu Pingjia directly entered Class A.
His fans immediately became proud, implying that no matter how Meng and Cheng got first place in popularity, talent shows are still about strength.
Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin's fans were immediately dissatisfied.
For example, Qiao Ruoya. Although she fell into the pit because of Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin's appearance, their two-hour singing and dancing performance in the live broadcast was the reason she fell deeply into the pit.
Their strength is unquestionable!
She was already unhappy that Meng and Cheng only entered Class B, but because she respected the senior mentors, she didn't say much, but when Yu Pingjia's fans made a fuss, she was immediately enraged.
Want to compare strength?
Theirs is the most fearless when it comes to strength!!
So comparison videos of Meng and Cheng and Yu Pingjia quickly appeared online.
Yu Pingjia's performance was okay on its own, but when compared to Meng and Cheng, the gap immediately appeared.
This was still the comparison in the program. If it were a live broadcast, it would be even more tragic.
Even passersby could see the difference.
Many people began to wonder why Yu Pingjia was able to enter Class A ahead of Meng and Cheng?
It was at this time that rumors spread that Meng Yuansheng was Jiang Mo's former assistant, and because Jiang Mo didn't pay wages or social security, he angrily resigned and joined Le Shi.
This instantly sparked resonance among working people.
【This working person's fists are clenched!!!】
【Damn it, no wonder he wanted to suppress them! He was afraid that the things you did would be exposed, what a scumbag!!】
【Even if Meng Yuansheng was an assistant, Jin You should have paid him, what does our Mo-ge have to do with it!】
【Anyway, these two are the same, neither of them is a good thing!】
...
For a time, Jiang Mo and Jin You's past scandals were dug up again, and their reputations plummeted.
