On the other hand, Liu Xirui wasn't as conflicted as Liu Mingqian.
In fact, the moment she received the authorization, she went to her direct supervisor at her TV station.
"Xiao Liu, what's up? Oh, by the way, let's not talk about your previous show; the station is already planning to cancel it."
If you want to continue being a host, you either have to choose one from the existing program library, or you have to find one yourself..."
Hearing what the bald director in front of her said, Liu Xirui smiled confidently.
If this had happened before, she would definitely have been very upset.
The show, which I worked so hard to build up, was taken away by that second-generation rich kid without a word. Unfortunately, the kid wasn't capable, and after all that trouble, the show was canceled.
But now that she has "Approaching Science" in hand, Liu Xirui feels that she can definitely do better than the previous program.
So at this moment she nodded and said:
"Director, I've found a new program, but it requires some funding, so could you please help me apply for it..."
The bald-headed director was somewhat surprised and said:
"Xiao Liu, the station's funding is limited. As a newcomer, you probably won't be able to apply for much funding."
Furthermore, if the program does not meet expectations after airing, it will be taken down immediately.
Let me review your proposal first, and I'll see if it's necessary to apply for approval.
Liu Xirui was already prepared, and upon hearing this, she handed over the plan she had in her hand.
Soon, the bald director's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, saying:
"Great, great, Xiaoliu, your plan is excellent. 'Approaching Science' also fits our science and education channel's style perfectly. However, can you guarantee that you'll do a good job with this kind of program?"
"Director, I can do it. As long as you help me apply for filming funds, I promise to do my best to make this program and make it a success."
The bald director nodded and slowly began to speak:
"Alright, I'll apply for funding for two episodes first. If the ratings are really as you say, then we can apply for more funding. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Director!"
Liu Xirui nodded repeatedly, but then said with some worry:
"By the way, Director, this program is a proposal I came up with myself. It won't be like last time, where I handed it over to someone else halfway through, will it?"
The bald-headed director was somewhat embarrassed and said:
"Ahem, Xiao Liu, there was a special reason last time. Liu Mao is, after all, a more experienced host than you, so..."
Liu Xirui immediately interrupted, saying:
"If that guy is more experienced, how come he managed to lower and lower the ratings? When I was in charge, the ratings were constantly rising, but after that guy took over, the show was canceled."
"Alright, alright, Xiaoliu, let's not talk about the past anymore. Don't worry, you'll definitely be hosting this show. If it goes well, all the credit will be yours."
The bald-headed director quickly stopped.
Seeing this, Liu Xirui said no more.
Anyway, she came prepared this time, so she doesn't need to worry about encountering the same situation as last time.
Now that she had secured funding for two episodes through the bald director, she needed to seriously consider what to talk about in the first two episodes.
In order to secure funding for subsequent filming, viewership needs to be increased as quickly as possible.
Therefore, the first two episodes must contain even more exciting content.
Fortunately, the program "Approaching Science" may lack other things, but it certainly doesn't lack exciting content that will grab your attention.
After all... this show's main selling point is being 'explosive'.
Just as Liu Xirui returned to her seat and was deep in thought...
A playboy-looking guy swaggered up to her and said with a smug look:
"RuiRui, I heard there's a concert tonight, I'd like to invite you to come with me!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Xirui's expression turned cold, and she said irritably:
"Liu Mao, it's working hours now, please don't bother me. If you want to go to the concert, go by yourself, I'm not going with you."
"Rui Rui, that's not a good thing to say. Everyone knows I like you, so please don't keep me at arm's length."
Liu Mao continued to speak with a grin.
Liu Xirui didn't even raise her head, but continued coldly:
"I don't care who you like, but I'd rather like a dog than you. Forget about it!"
Liu Mao, who had been grinning just moments before, turned pale instantly upon hearing this.
He stared blankly for a while, then suddenly spoke in a sinister voice:
"Fine, you won't agree to my request, huh? You know my uncle is the station director. I thought you had learned your lesson last time, since a perfectly good program was canceled, but obviously you haven't."
Looks like you've landed another show. That's great. Focus on boosting the ratings. Anyway, once the ratings go up, I'll be the one taking over again, hahaha..."
Watching Liu Mao leave with a low laugh, Liu Xirui still took a few deep breaths in anger, but she quickly composed herself.
Because this time, she came prepared.
...
