Chapter 1170: Wang Juhuai Is Here

Can’t they just let it go and stop antagonizing Lu Man in the future?

Moreover, isn’t it ugly for a big station like you to make trouble for a small-time actor like Lu Man?

Would it be glorious even if you did win?

The netizens would only say that you bullied people!

What’s worse is that, if you lost as a big station, you’ll lose both your face and any influence you had.

Ge Guangzhen understood the logic clearly now and hated himself for not understanding back then.

He learned only after making a mistake.

He never thought Chief Hu would still want to go against Lu Man after he’d advised him against it.

Ge Guangzhen sighed. Since the leader of the broadcasting station had decided, he could not interfere.

He had done what he could, but if Chief Hu did not heed his words, what else could he do?

Ge Guangzhen looked at the file on his computer solemnly, hoping that Friday (with the Stars) could hang on and beat Lu Man for real.

At least that would not be too embarrassing.

If there was any show across all broadcasting stations that could compete with Classic X Files, which Lu Man was in, it was probably Friday (with the Stars).

The statistics spoke for itself—it was an old show that had managed to keep filming and broadcasting for a decade.

That was especially impressive in this era, which prized continual change and where variety programs kept raising their game.

But Friday (with the Stars) was still able to hang on and maintain its ratings among all the other new and unique variety shows appearing, not losing even against Classic X Files, which was popular for three seasons straight.

This was enough to prove the power of Friday (with the Stars).

Ge Guangzhen stopped his musings and continued with his program planning.

Lu Man and her parents flew to Dong Hua in Han Zhuoli’s private jet.

Lu Dongliu wanted to meet Wang Juhuai, but not knowing if it was appropriate, he asked Lu Man. Lu Man rejected politely, saying that Wang Juhuai wanted to tour Dong Hua alone.

So Lu Dongliu banished the idea from his mind.

After reaching Dong Hua, Wang Juhuai did not find himself tired and dragged Xia Qingwei with him to have fun.

Naturally, Lu Man did not want to play gooseberry and remained in the hotel.

Because Wang Juhuai wanted to tour within the city area with Xia Qingwei while the broadcasting station was located somewhere more remote, they booked a hotel near the city area rather than one next to the broadcasting station.

On the second afternoon, they set off to the broadcasting station to get ready for filming.

Xia Qingwei followed as well.

She was rather interested in the filming process of the show, not to mention both her husband and daughter were appearing on stage. How could she not go and support them?

The three of them reached the broadcasting station.

When they entered the building, workers from other departments lost their ability to speak when they saw Wang Juhuai.

“Wang…”

The more Wang Juhuai was recognized by people, the more they seemed to similarly lose their ability to speak.

The moment Chief Lu’s secretary, Xiao Yue, reached level one and saw Wang Juhuai, she immediately turned and ran for the lift after being stunned for a few seconds.

“Chief Lu!” Xiao Yue came rushing in in a hurry, panting heavily but not bothering to catch her breath.

She’d pushed open the door as she called out.

Seeing her like this, Chief Lu did not find it in his heart to reprimand her. “What is it?”

“It’s Wang… Wang…”

Chief Lu: “…”

What’s with her continuous “wang”-ing? Is she a dog?[1]

“Wang Juhuai is here!” Xiao Yue finally said in one breath.

“What did you say? Who’s here?” Chief Lu thought he heard wrong.

“It’s Wang Juhuai, that music guru Wang Juhuai! He’s here at our broadcasting station!” Xiao Yue said excitedly.

Chief Lu stood abruptly. “Why would he come to our station?!”

“He’s with Lu Man. I heard Lu Man was coming to film the finale for Classic X Files. Is Wang Juhuai the secret guest she invited?” Xiao Yue guessed.
