Chapter 92. Variety Show Recording (2)

     “Ah, Zhou Bingyan!”

     Zhou Bingyan’s appearance made the girls in the waiting hall excited.

     Seeing that there was a photographer next to him, they immediately understood that he was filming a show. A bold girl came forward to ask them what show they were filming. Zhou Bingyan showed a gentle smile and said, “I am participating in the Lychee variety show “Journey to the West”. You can pay attention to the broadcast information!”

     “Okay, we will pay attention!” the girl said excitedly.

     When the people around heard that they were recording a show, those who didn’t want to show their faces consciously avoided it, and those who were curious and thought it was fun found the opportunity to get in the camera and join in the fun.

     Someone asked the photographer: “Will the owner of Xingzhou Island appear in the show?”

     This question instantly attracted the attention of many tourists. They were also curious whether the mysterious island owner would appear in the show. If he really did, they would watch the show no matter what.

     After all, who doesn’t want to know the true face of the island owner?

     Zhou Bingyan was vague: “You will know when you watch “Journey to the West”. It will be broadcast in mid-May. Please tune in to Lychee TV!” Although he was just a guest, he tried his best to win the favor of the program team and sponsors and avoid editing randomly.

     After he met up with the five guests, he asked the director: “Don’t some links require the cooperation of the staff on the island? Will the island owner appear?”

     The director said: “It’s a pity that the person sent by Xingzhou Island is their tourism ambassador, Ms. Lin.”

     Yu Cheng said with some disappointment: “I thought I would have the honor to meet the mysterious island owner when I came to Xingzhou Island to shoot this time!”

     Shu Shuang and Tian Zhiguang rarely go online, and pay less attention to these news, so they were confused.

     Fei’er gave them some scientific knowledge: “I heard that the owner of Xingzhou Island is only in her twenties. Everyone is curious about what she looks like, but no one has ever taken a photo of her…”

     At this time, Song Ruqing, who was a little unhappy about knowing that Zhou Bingyan was a flying guest, said: “I have seen the Island owner.”

     Everyone instantly locked their eyes on her face: “You have seen her? Is it true?”

     In fact, the moment Song Ruqing said it, she had regretted it, but she couldn’t take it back, so she could only bite the bullet and say: “Of course it’s true, I played table tennis with her.”

     Everyone didn’t believe it unless she showed evidence.

     But what evidence did Song Ruqing have! She didn’t take a photo with the other party at all, and she didn’t see the other party when she came here this time. She couldn’t just run to the other party’s office building and say “I played table tennis with your island owner, let her come out to testify for me”, right?

     It would be strange if they didn’t put her on the blacklist!

     She couldn’t produce any evidence. Judging from the program crew’s desire for ratings, this part would most likely be released. The haters would definitely laugh at her and say she was lying. This is why she never told anyone that she had seen the island owner.

     Unexpectedly, she couldn’t keep calm when she met someone related to Zhou Qunfang.

     Sure enough, Zhou Qunfang was her nemesis!

     The agent standing with the program crew was very surprised. Song Ruqing had never mentioned this to her!

    It must be fake. If she really met the island owner, why did she buy a hundred blind boxes at once last time?

     Oh, by the way, those hundred blind boxes were finally opened in vain, without a single limited edition postcard. In the end, she was discouraged and decided to “cut off her hands” and never buy blind boxes again.

     However, if this scene is released by the program crew, it will attract a lot of ridicule. It seems that several sets of public relations plans should be prepared in advance.

     As expected, after the show was broadcast, Song Ruqing became a hot topic because of this statement, attracting a lot of trolls and sneers.

     The island owner happened to be browsing blogs and saw the foul comments under the marketing account.

     Unable to see these people use such vicious remarks to say about a woman, the island owner posted a V blog: “Let’s play table tennis together again if there is a chance.”

     She also attached a signed photo that Song Ruqing forced on her.

     Netizens: “???”

     Song Ruqing actually knew the island owner?

     The island owner also asked her for an autographed photo? It seems that the island owner is undoubtedly a fan of Song Ruqing.

     After that, everyone thought that the island owner was a fan of Song Ruqing… Only Song Ruqing was so embarrassed that she could dig a mermaid square with her toes.

     Of course, this is all later.

     Li Yaolin, who was busy with work, didn’t pay attention to the filming of the program group, as all of this was monitored by Vice President Qi. However, after Lin Qitong came back, she asked, “Are you happy recording the program with so many stars?”

     “It’s just like that!” Lin Qitong said listlessly, “I always felt that stars were far away from my life, so I chased them like crazy, and even wanted to be a star myself. As I came into contact with more people in this industry, I suddenly found that this kind of life doesn’t seem to suit me.”

     As the tourism ambassador of Xingzhou Island, she is responsible for almost all activities that require going abroad, and her frequent appearances have attracted a lot of popularity for her, and her fans have already exceeded one million.

     After being happy for a while, she slowly felt the pressure, because as a tourism ambassador, her words and deeds have attracted everyone’s attention.

     She can no longer do what she wants to do as she pleases, for fear that some indecent behavior will be photographed and magnified, affecting the image of Xingzhou Island. She can’t talk casually on the Internet, because as the person in charge of the publicity group, she must take the lead.

     There is no such thing as a tourism ambassador going to get off work or going home. She is not an ambassador during working hours. She is just an ordinary person after work. Others will not care whether she is at work or not. Once they catch her doing something wrong, they will definitely criticize her.

     In the office, in front of Li Yaolin, she can be her true self, but once facing the camera, she feels more like a robot than “Good Delicious”. 

     Li Yaolin said: “You seem to have not been to a disco for a long time.”

     Lin Qitong was surprised: “How did you know?”

     “Xiaoguan… Xiaoyu told me.”

     Lin Qitong suddenly realized: “Assistant Yu goes to a disco every night. She hasn’t seen me for a long time, so she noticed it!”

     Little mermaid: “The island owner is talking nonsense. I didn’t say such a thing!”

     Li Yaolin said in her heart: “Isn’t this the little housekeeper reminding her that she is under too much pressure and needs timely counseling and relief? I can only use you as an excuse to avoid revealing flaws!”

     Little mermaid: “╭(╯^╰)╮”

     Li Yaolin asked Lin Qitong: “Is the work pressure too great recently?”

     Although her good sister is the boss, Lin Qitong is a little reluctant to say it. To be honest, she is afraid of affecting the relationship between sisters, and she actually hasn’t figured out what kind of life she wants.

     If she told the truth, Li Yaolin would definitely reduce her workload or stop her from being an ambassador in order to take care of her.

     But is this result really what she wants?

     If this question is put in front of Zheng Xuan, Zheng Xuan will not hesitate. She is different. Before coming to work on Xingzhou Island, she was just a little internet celebrity who lived a somewhat casual life and still had a little desire to be famous. She only needed to complete the promotion tasks of the merchants, and the rest of her time was free.

     Because she is not famous, she doesn’t have to worry about being recognized even if she goes to a disco, which will affect the effect of her promotional video.

     If she is asked to give up her current life and go back to the past, she is unwilling.

     She also knows that it is so beautiful to want to be famous but don’t want to bear the pressure of being famous. That’s why she is so entangled.

     Li Yaolin asked again: “Do you want me to give you an assistant?”

     “What assistant?” Lin Qitong was a little confused. Did Sanniang really treat her as a star?

     “I’ve thought about it. You are responsible for external publicity and promotion, as well as advertising bidding. You also have to appear in various videos as the image ambassador of Xingzhou Island. The task is too heavy. It would be good to have an assistant to share the pressure. If you have any other ideas, you can also tell me, not as a boss, but as a friend.”

     Lin Qitong thought: “I will.”

     After work, Lin Qitong ran out of the island again, but she was not going to go clubbing, but to find Zheng Xuan.

     She told Zheng Xuan about this and asked, “Do you think I am a little too much? With my qualifications and abilities, I have to work in this industry for at least two or three years before I have a chance to become a supervisor. But Sanniang trusted me so much and had high hopes for me, but I backed down.”

     Zheng Xuan: “Since you know everything, what else can’t you tell Sanniang? She won’t blame you.”

     Lin Qitong didn’t say it, but she was a little relieved in her heart. Sanniang didn’t divide the business that was originally under her management, because the original intention might be to share her pressure and let her have less things to do, but she couldn’t help wondering if Sanniang thought she was unwilling to endure hardships and couldn’t withstand pressure, so she didn’t want to reuse her anymore.

     Zheng Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “You, have you watched too many workplace dramas? Why do you keep these things to yourself? You know what Sanniang is like. She doesn’t have such a mind. Don’t worry about it.”

     “I have watched a lot of workplace dramas recently, but that’s not the point. I feel like I can’t keep up with you guys now, so I’m confused.”

     As for the three of them, Li Yaolin won’t mention them. Even if they are classmates, Lin Qitong doesn’t dare to say that she knows each other very well after so many years.

     Zheng Xuan experienced such an incident right after graduation, suffered a lot, and saw a lot of things in the world clearly. For this reason, she clearly knows what she wants and how to go in the future.

     Only she feels like an astronaut, who has been launched into space on a rocket before receiving professional training. She is neither up nor down, and she feels uneasy in her heart.

     Zheng Xuan said: “In fact, you are not lost, you are already very sober.”

     Many people start to drift after becoming famous, but Lin Qitong always keeps her work in mind, which shows that her essence is still sober and calm.

     Lin Qitong said, “The more you praise me, the more uneasy I feel.”

     Zheng Xuan pondered for a while and said, “Why don’t you tell Sanniang the truth and ask Sanniang to change you to a position where you can shine? For example, come to help our cultural and creative product group sell goods live, and then calculate the commission. In this way, you can take a break after earning enough commission this month, and come out to sell goods when you are short of money.”

     Lin Qitong: “…”

     She felt her throat was about to smoke when she thought about talking non-stop, and suddenly felt that this job was pretty good.

 

…….

 

     After a few days, Lin Qitong’s assistant arrived at the post, and Li Yaolin asked her, “Do you want to go on a business trip to Hong Kong and Macau?”

     “Ah?” Lin Qitong was confused.

     “It’s like this. I want to attract some overseas tourists to Xingzhou Island. After this period of preparation, I decided to let Deputy Manager Song go there on a business trip to discuss online and offline promotion with the TV stations there. It’s just right for you to go and learn. Of course, it depends on whether you want to go.”

     “How long will the business trip be?”

     “You have to ask Deputy Manager Song, but the deadline I approved is one month.”

     Lin Qitong was a little tempted, and asked hesitantly: “What about the publicity work if I’m not on duty?”

     “Manager Gao is here. If you keep your assistant, it’s just right for her to get familiar with the work first.”

     Lin Qitong agreed.
