The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.
Li Linghua was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.
She opened her eyes and found herself sleeping on the sofa.
Last night she had been racking her brains to figure out why her show was suddenly surpassed by Fang Xiaole. The graph showing the real-time audience numbers being crushed by a huge gap kept lingering in front of her eyes and couldn't be shaken off.
Then she fell asleep on the sofa.
I picked up the phone and it was Assistant Director Yu Yongzhi calling.
"Hello."
When I answered the phone, I found that my voice had a strong nasal tone.
It seems that I caught a cold because I slept on the sofa without a blanket last night.
"Director Li, you haven't come to the station yet?"
Yu Yongzhi asked in a low voice, and a noisy sound came from the side.
"I'll be right there!"
Li Linghua was completely awake. She still had to record a show this morning. It was already nine o'clock, and the trainees and guests should all be here.
She quickly jumped off the sofa and was about to change her clothes and go out when Yu Yongzhi's voice came from the other end of the phone again:
"Director Li, the guests haven't arrived yet, don't worry. I just want to tell you that..."
Li Linghua's heart tightened, and she asked coldly, "Are the ratings for last night out?"
In fact, this is nonsense. The ratings of the previous night's program were almost out at 8 o'clock the next morning. Yu Yongzhi called, obviously to report the ratings.
However, judging by his tone, last night's ratings might be...
"I'll be right there."
Li Linghua hung up the phone and found that her voice was a little trembling. Although she had a cold, she was sweating. She wiped her chest with her left hand and it was all wet.
Li Linghua has a very regular schedule. No matter how late she works the day before, she will get up on time at seven o'clock the next morning.
But today, she actually slept until nine o'clock.
"Is this because I'm running away?"
Subconsciously avoiding seeing the ratings results?
"Have I already given up in advance?"
Li Linghua's face was gloomy. She slapped her cheeks several times with her hands, ran into the bedroom, changed her clothes, washed her face and brushed her teeth, and hurried out without even putting on makeup.
Her apartment was very close to Yunhaitai, and she arrived there in less than ten minutes by jogging.
When we arrived at Recording Hall No. 1, everyone from the program crew was there, except for one guest judge.
"Director Li, are you okay?"
Yu Yongzhi came forward and saw that Li Linghua looked haggard and her eyes were a little dark, so he asked hurriedly with concern.
"It's okay. What are the ratings?"
Li Linghua asked.
"Well……"
Her words caused the surroundings to fall into silence for a moment. Yu Yongzhi whispered, "Director Li, let's talk outside."
"Ratings, what are they?"
Li Linghua didn't move and looked straight at Yu Yongzhi.
Yu Yongzhi originally didn't want to hit everyone again, but seeing Li Linghua insisting, he sighed and said:
"Our ratings last night were 4.93%, which is a slight increase."
"Where is Fang Xiaole?" Li Linghua asked coldly.
"On Apple TV, yes, yes... 5.43%."
Yu Yongzhi hesitated for a long time and finally told the opponent's data.
"Director Li, we're actually not that far behind the other team. It's only the fourth round, so we still have plenty of chances."
He wanted to comfort Li Linghua, but his voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke.
A gap of 0.5% is like an insurmountable chasm for two originally evenly matched programs.
What's more, in the last period, we were ahead of the opponent, but this week, not only were we overtaken, but the gap widened by 0.5.
This shows that the two programs are gradually no longer on the same level.
But,
We have worked so hard and our program is so professional. Director Li strives for perfection in every detail, and none of our staff members slacks off for the slightest.
But why, still the result?
Li Linghua didn't say anything and looked around. The staff were all looking at her silently.
"Director Li, Brother Zhou is here."
A girl ran in and broke the almost frozen atmosphere.
Brother Zhou is the guest who arrived late.
"Um."
Li Linghua nodded and said calmly:
"start!"
The others looked at each other.
Li Linghua looked around and said coldly, "Start working!"
"What are you still standing there for? Go get to work!"
Yu Yongzhi quickly called out to the people around him.
"yes!"
The staff members reacted and quickly returned to their posts, ready to start recording the show.
No matter what, we are at least second place, right?
At least we defeated the big devil once last week, so we are satisfied, right?
Life has to go on, right?
"Director Li, then we...Director Li?"
Yu Yongzhi adjusted himself mentally and turned to look at Li Linghua with a smile on his face, but saw that she was pale and seemed a little shaky, so he quickly reached out to support her.
"I'm fine, get to work!"
Li Linghua pushed him away and shouted to the staff:
"Let's start recording! Everyone, get your spirits up!"

Liu Feng walked out of the elevator and headed towards the vice president's office at the end of the corridor.
He was originally Yang Jiaxin's agent and also Chen Qiao's confidant, responsible for monitoring Yang Jiaxin.
