Did you want to see first hand the power of Yuan Zong???

(More videos on my channel)

************

Wang Shuang went on talking to Yuan Zong, "This is a show about companies. It's not about stars but it still gains a great rating from the citizens and experts in the field particularly. A great illustration of this is the number of well-known companies that have participated in the show. And you can take a look at this. This is the overview of it."

Wang Shuang handed in the files to Yuan Zong.

Xia Yao intervened, "Can I see them too?"

It was a pleasure for Wang Shuang to see an individual taking interest in her work so she decided to fulfil Xia Yao's demand.

He held the papers, inwardly laughed at them. Isn't this just a typical economic channel on the Internet? What was so special about it? Was there any point in doing a campaign for a company that have already appeared on a popular talk shows in the first place?

Yuan Zong, on the other hand, seemed impressed, "I have heard about this show from a friend. Not bad."

Wang Shuang smiled. Her smile was like six flowers blooming and was spreading their irresistible flagrance around Yuan Zong. Her wavy hair brushed against Yuan Zong's cheek by accident.

"And here is the list of all the talkshows. I also have the list of famous businessmen, and this is..."

Xia Yao's expression clouded over, thinking: A sniper's eye? Can that term really be applied to you anymore?

(I think what Xia Yao is trying to say here is that Yuan Zong seems completely oblivious to the fact that Wang Shuang is trying to get into his good graces and was "advertising" for the company just because she wanted to get close to him.)

Wang Shuang was sidling up to Yuan Zong.

Buzzing beside them was a bumble bee bent on stinging somebody's butt, "The way I see it, this show has low ratings. As I said, I have seen it once. It is not about getting those files around but about showing the company's perspective on current economic affairs. In regard to publicity, this show may not give the company such exposure."

Wang Shuang remained optimistic, "That is the obvious reason why we require the assistance of predominant businessmen to improve the ratings. The talk show's content you mentioned is just some marginal stuff, but I still see it as the way of promoting the firm's culture. Besides, in comparison to not promoting, promoting in some kind of way is still better."

"It is a total waste of time..." Xia Yao said.

"But..."

Yuan Zong suddenly cut in on Wang Shuang, "I have to review our recent plans. I may consider it if there is no other campaigns."

Xia Yao moved his mouse lazily across the screen, thinking: Isn't it time you go home by now?

But he soon realized that what Wang Shuang had said earlier was just a threshold for her main point, "By the way, Yuan Ru phoned me to show her gratitude to me for being so thick-skinned to persuade you to free her. But for my help, she would have had to do time a little bit longer."

Xia Yao then turned to Yuan Zong, "Is our company recruiting new interns?"

Of course, Wang Shuang was browned off by his continual intervention. However, she kept cool-headed to listen to their conversation.

Afterwards, Wang Shuang pushed on, "As I was saying, I replied to her that she ought to have thanked you for being so thoughtful. Her being released wasn't my doings at all..."

"I've heard that Hei Bao's (Black Panther) special agents have employed a special type of boots that is wrapped in metal and can take down ten guys in one kick." Xia Yao was taking his topics even further away from Wang Shuang's.

"They even have hand gloves that can hide knives, I am intent on getting one of those."

From the outside, Xia Yao appeared to be talking attentively to Yuan Zong but from the inside, he was actually giving Wang Shuang a black look.

Let me ask you this. Can you be more understanding?

Sadly,today, Xia Yao was dealing with an unconscious woman who immediately got a word in edgeways right after he shut his mouth.

"You will not believe what happened to Yuan Ru today! She went to the supermarket! She actually went to the supermarket to make a slap-up meal as a compensation for you!" And then she clasped Yuan Zong's arm, "Someone tells me that you're a good cook, you..."

Xia Yao quickly put the files into Wang Shuang's outstretched arms, and then offered his hands to show gratitude for Yuan Zong.

"Thank you."

That definitely staggered Wang Shuang, she had no choice but to stand up and accepted handshake. Even after a handshake, sitting down on the sofa was all too face-losing to do. Wang Shuang was completely frozen by shyness but she was still able to say her farewell, "I have to leave now. Please consider my offer."

Yuan Zong politely showed Wang Shuang out.

Upon heading the entrance, Wang Shuang turned to Yuan Zong with a compliment, "I love your jacket. It makes you look really cool."

Fuck, I bought that jacket. Xia Yao groaned from the inside.

And so, the moment Yuan Zong took a shower, Xia Yao sneakily folded the jacket and stuffed it into his bag. From now on, don't even think about wearing something I bought to seduce other women!

(You are awful, Xia Yao! >.< And I'm LOVING it!!! XD)

* * *

Wang Shuang brought up the matter of Yuan Zong's company's campaign to a friend who worked in the advertisement department who flew off the handle.

"Do you think that making people appear in shows is easy? Or organizing a proper schedule is a piece of cake? You should have given me a heads up first even if it stems from your kindness."

Wang Shuang mumbled, "It was on the spure of the moment..."

"Don't do things without thinking them through."

Wang Shuang pathetically begged, "I've already given them the "Okay" so please reconsider it. Besides, we are working with a lucrative company, which will be a springboard for your show."

"Then it would be more challenging, you know. Tell me how can I come up with the idea to set up for this show. It is not just about asking questions. What if we touch upon other sensitive issues? Our reporters are on assignment in various areas so it would be a miracle to find somebody who is available. How can we ask one of them to return here for your problem?"

"But the more we hang about, the more off-putting it will be for the company. So how long will it be before you can arrange for them to participate in this show?"

That one friend reverted uncompromisingly, "Next year."

"Next year?" Wang Shuang replied with a vigorous shake, "Too late."

"It is December already and our schedule is full with this year's shows. I am generous enough to do your show next year."

Wang Shuang clasped her friend's arm, pouting.

"It is no use. Don't let your romantic endeavors interfere with our job! By the way, how chivalrous is he? How can you be so crazy about him?"

The friend couldn't stand Wang Shuang's nagging forever, sighed.

"Let me get two reporters to take a look, next week."

The next day, Xia Yao sat back in a chair in the office, with his legs crossed on the table, his gaze fixed at the ceiling. He remained dull for more than ten minutes.

Xiao Hui saw Xia Yao looking carefree, smiled, "What is this monk doing?"

Xia Yao mysteriously answered in four words.

"Being deep in meditation."

Xiao Hui laughed, "Why bother to be deep in meditation when you're already disengaged?"

"Am I really disengaged?" Xia Yao glared at Xiao Hui, "Look at my face right now, does it say apathetic?"

Xiao Hui replied without any hesitation: "Yes! Aren't you always this indifferent?"

Right, I'm indifferent, as always... Xia Yao autistically told himself.

He lifted his legs off the table, shifting his gaze to the computer screen, randomly moving the mouse, then suddenly he was lost in thoughts. Another ten minutes passed quickly. Feeling someone shaking his hand, Xia Yao recovered himself...

"This is just a window confirming whether to exit or not, is it that hard to choose?" Xiao Hui said, then helped Xia Yao click the mouse, "Yes".

Xia Yao suddenly stood up, grabbed his bag on the table, and rushed outside.

"Hey, where ya going?" Xiao Hui hurriedly asked.

Xia Yao replied, "I received a phone call about an emergency."

Xia Yao, who had just considered himself apathetic earlier, was now aggressively leaving without turning his head.

Half an hour later, Xia Yao's car stopped by some large newspaper headquarters.

Since he had informed them beforehand on the phone, there was an exceptional welcome for Xia Yao.

When the elevator door opened, a man in his thirties gave Xia Yao a big hug, and patted him on his back, asking, "Mr Xia, long time no see. You've got yourself some free time to get here, how come?"

Then he turned to an employee, "Hurry and get some water."

"No need." Xia Yao said, "I'll just talk to you then leave."

The man grabbed Xia Yao's hands with friendliness, asking, "What's the problem?"

"I want to propagate for a friend's company."

"What kind of company?"

"Bodyguard company."

An uncomfortable ray quickly passed through the man's eyes, "Bodyguard company sounds great! We've never done any program about self defense before, maybe we can try it this time. Speaking of time, do you have any recommendation?"

"How about winter break? Shows usually has high ratings around that time, so the result will be better." Xia Yao said.

The man pondered for a moment, then snapped his fingers.

"No problem, there should be enough time. I'll bring someone to take a look tomorrow."

Xia Yao ceremoniously said, "Sorry to have bothered you."

"Look who's talking, what are we to each other you don't remember?"

"So it's done, then."

************

Oh yeah, don't mess with Xia Yao when he's in a bad mood, he can seriously ruin your life!

The difference between having friends in high and low places :3 :v. My bad, Wang Shuang, you're just a piece of dust to my Xia Yao ;).

Love,
