Chapter 151: The Importance of Information Collection
Programmes are always susceptible to external interference.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter.”
Chen Che looked at Chu Zhengfei with a smile. “Good news. I’ll continue to appear in the second episode of ‘Let’s Go’. Although I might not become a guest, I believe this means that the matter is settled.”
Chu Zhengfei smiled and said, “Congratulations.”
Chen Che said frankly, “Don’t worry about me. What happened between me and Gong Wanqing and Qu Feng has nothing to do with you. Instead, it put you in a dilemma.”
Chu Zhengfei could not understand if Chen Che was backing down or for some other reason.
However, Chen Che was at a disadvantage in the end, but the results were clear.
Even if he wanted to reject Chen Che, Chen Che still told Chu Zhengfei not to care too much.
What else could Chu Zhengfei say?
Instead, she felt a little disgusted by Qu Feng’s actions. After all, there was one setting that he had not told Chen Che.
“Tonight…”
Chu Zhengfei looked at Chen Che. “Perhaps Qu Feng will be a special guest to send you off.”
“Yes?”
Chen Che was stunned and asked in confusion, “I saw the script previously… Didn’t Sister Ning Qing send me off?”
Ning Qing was a regular member of the second season. The appearance of a plane this season was also a big highlight.
However, after asking the question, Chen Che seemed to understand something. He looked at Chu Zhengfei uncertainly. “Could this be targeting me?”
Chu Zhengfei explained, “They were worried that Gong Wanqing would be accused of eliminating you, so Qu Feng came over to announce the voting results.”
Chen Che was caught between laughter and tears. “I almost believed that.”
Chu Zhengfei also smiled. Then, she waved her hand solemnly. “How about this? You don’t have to appear tomorrow.”
She looked at Chen Che seriously. “When you return to the station later, I’ll find a variety show suitable for you and recommend you for it.”
Chen Che was silent for a moment before smiling casually. “It’s okay. Since you’re here, record according to the schedule.” He looked at Chu Zhengfei. “I’ll do my best for your program.”
Chu Zhengfei hesitated. “No need…”
Chen Che said firmly, “It’s decided!”
He glanced at the time and continued, “What time is it tonight? I just finished the delivery segment of ’Flower Boys’ and booked a plane ticket to return to the market to film the second episode.”
He could not help but laugh as he looked at Chu Zhengfei. “Producer Chu, can you not think of me as so pitiful? Isn’t the viewership rating for ’Let’s Go’ higher than yours?”
Chu Zhengfei forced a smile and nodded without saying anything else.
“Is President Zhang here?” After bidding farewell to Chen Che, they arrived at the airport.
In the capital, the company arranged for a nanny van to pick them up.
The driver was a young man in his late twenties.
His name was Wang Yong.
The whole time, he only focused on driving and had not spoken.
Lin Xi sat in the back seat. Brother Liu stared at his phone and occasionally asked Wang Yong a few questions.
Wang Yong replied, “He went to Shanghai. He’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”
Brother Liu said in surprise, ”1 was planning to come back and discuss something with her.”
Wang Yong smiled and said, “How can President Zhang have a fixed schedule? Many things happen suddenly. There’s nothing we can do.”
Brother Liu frowned. “If I had known, I wouldn’t have come back. Hang City is also close to Shanghai.”
Wang Yong knew his limits and did not ask further.
Lin Xi looked up at Brother Liu. “What? Do you want to complain?”
Brother Liu turned around. “Do you also think that I should tell on you?”
Lin Xi smiled and said, “Up to you. You can complain, so can I.”
Wang Yong drove without saying a word, not even looking at them.
But that didn’t mean he wasn’t listening.
In fact, it was difficult for him not to listen.
Brother Liu looked at Lin Xi. “Are you really popular? Do you want me to pay attention to my attitude towards you in the future?”
Lin Xi asked, “Do you know that last night, Brother Chao had already officially asked me about the problem of you causing tension, affecting the entire production team’s recording atmosphere?”
Brother Liu was stunned for a moment. He frowned and looked at Lin Xi. “I caused tension?”
Lin Xi chuckled. “You deserve it. Chen Che has never provoked you, but you’re targeting him. Now, it doesn’t matter if you’ve affected the recording atmosphere. They’ve already seen it this way. If you’re not vigilant, even though President Zhang has the company, she can’t control what’s happening outside.”
Wang Yong subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror, but the two of them did not notice him.
Brother Liu pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I’ll explain to her. There’s no need to talk about this here.”
Lin Xi did not say anything else. She suddenly thought of something and put down her phone to look at Brother Liu. “Previously, on the plane, you said that Chen Che’s being kicked out had nothing to do with you, right?”
Brother Liu was stunned for a moment before he laughed. “The most basic trust is gone?”
Lin Xi frowned. “Then how do you know so much?”
Wang Yong, who was driving, had a strange expression on his face. He suddenly interrupted, “This has nothing to do with Manager Liu.”
The two of them subconsciously looked at Wang Yong.
Wang Yong continued, “I happen to have a friend in that production team. The news was spread around the office. Manager Liu might have also found out from the company.”
Brother Liu was enlightened. “Did you feedback to the company?”
This was not surprising.
In the business world, no matter what industry it was, information was extremely important.
If one was a step ahead, he might be able to seize the initiative.
It was the same for entertainment companies.
In addition to their job, employees had an obligation to collect information and would also be rewarded.
“Why are you gathering information about him?” Lin Xi asked curiously.
Wang Yong explained, “It’s not him. It’s Gong Wanqing. She has always been compared to you by the outside world, so the company naturally paid attention to her. In the end, they discovered this.”
Lin Xi was puzzled. “She kicked Chen Che away? From the same production team?”
Wang Yong said, “There’s also a variety show that’s about to start filming. He wanted to join, but Gong Wanqing was also there.”
As he drove, Brother Liu was also listening.
He got their attention, so they didn’t argue anymore.
Wang Yong continued, “Chen Che filmed ‘Sword Tiger’ and replaced Qu Feng’s role. A few days ago, he had an audition opportunity and Qu Feng’s girlfriend happened to be there.”
Lin Xi frowned. “Gong Wanqing?”
Brother Liu smiled disdainfully. “This must be Qu Feng’s doing behind the scenes to force him away.”
Wang Yong nodded. “Coincidentally, he went to audition for another variety show the next day. Gong Wanqing was also among them.”
Lin Xi asked curiously, “Is he going to be kicked away again?”
Wang Yong pondered for a moment and shook his head. “They didn’t intend to make him a regular guest this time. However, it’s said that he and the chief producer, Chu Zhengfei, want him to join. Gong Wanqing interfered again. I wonder if he can stay in the end.”
Lin Xi fell silent and did not ask further.
Brother Liu chatted with Wang Yong excitedly and asked him about his entanglement with Chen Che and why he was arguing with Lin Xi.
Brother Liu roughly told him what had happened with Chen Che until now. It was similar to Wang Yong’s description.
Neither of them noticed that Lin Xi was leaning against the side with her head lowered. A strange glint flashed across her eyes.
