Chapter 349: Nan Zhi’s Financier Is Finally Doing Something!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nan Yao had never been so flamboyant, even when she was being doted on by Nan Weiye and Bo Shaoxiu.
The most expensive car she drove was at most worth one or two million dollars. Even Nan Weiye had never bought such a sports car that was worth millions, for himself.
It had been a while since Nan Zhi saw Nan Yao. She heard that she was not living very well after her miscarriage.
However, the sight of her being so arrogant and showy did not seem like she was not living too well at all.
Nan Yao pushed the gigantic pair of sungla.s.ses to the crown of her hair when she saw Nan Zhi. Her lips curled up into a scornful smile. “It’s been a while, Nan Zhi.”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and didn’t respond.
Walking in front of Nan Zhi, Nan Yao looked her up and down with an arrogant gaze. “I bet you didn’t expect that I could stand in front of you again after you threw me into the dust, did you? Things are always hard to predict, Nan Zhi, and I’m not afraid, even if you have a financier to support you.
“Did you see the ratings of ‘Dreams’? We’ve gotten the highest ratings in the past five years for the broadcasting company. For a lousy show like ‘Delicacy’, there’s no way you’ll be able to surpa.s.s ‘Dreams’, even if Yannis is the guest of the show. If you kneel down now and beg me, I might take back the bet and let you stay at the broadcasting company.”
Nan Zhi did not flare up in anger by Nan Yao’s condescending words, and her pretty face was calm and indifferent. “Nan Yao, don’t be too quick to give your verdict on who has lost and won before the final results are out. Haven’t you been embarra.s.sed enough recently?”
Nan Yao’s gazed changed immediately as she said coldly, “Alright then, continue to be stubborn. I’ll see what you can do to change the situation when ‘Delicacy’ airs tonight!”
…
In the café.
Xia Xi growled angrily, “What did Nan Yao do to make the head of the broadcasting company change ‘Delicacy”s airing time to Sunday? The number of people watching television on Sundays is clearly a lot less than those who watch on Fridays and Sat.u.r.days since work starts the next day. Also, why would Daley, who has the most number of fans in the world, post her support for ‘Dreams’? She had never attended a show in Asia before this! Argh! It doesn’t make any sense!”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips as she sipped a mouthful of the extremely bitter coffee without any sugar. Her exquisite eyebrows furrowed together tightly.
Actually, she understood that the reason why ‘Dreams’ could receive such a good rating was mostly because of Daley. All of Daley’s fans would definitely show their support and watch any show she had praised.
“Sister Zhi, you don’t really have the confidence that we will win either, do you?” Xia Xi asked softly.
Nan Zhi nodded her head, “The ratings that ‘Dreams’ have gotten are too good. Even the top show of a top broadcasting company is not their compet.i.tion, and if we want our first broadcast tonight to surpa.s.s that, we can only pray for a miracle to happen…”
…
Nan Zhi and Xia Xi had just returned to the office when they saw Zhang Yijun shouting at Liu Chengren with his neck all red, “The winner is not out yet before the final results are out! We don’t need you to worry about our show not having a host!”
Liu Chengren scoffed. He was completely sure that ‘Delicacy’ would not be able to change the situation as he said scornfully, “All I did was recommend some new hosts to you out of the kindness of my heart, yet you don’t appreciate it. Fine, I’ll just wait for Nan Zhi to leave with an ashen face tomorrow! Just you wait and see!”
When Liu Chengren left, he added another sentence out of nowhere, “Something that is lousy will always be lousy!”
Currently, most of the staff in the broadcasting company, including a few in the ‘Delicacy’ team, were all fixated on the idea that ‘Delicacy’ would not win over ‘Dreams’.
Nan Zhi had been doing the final edits to the broadcasting clip with the editor for the entire afternoon. She did not pay too much attention to this bet. If she lost, then she had no other choice but to leave. At least she would have done everything to the best of her ability. She would have no regrets.
When she got out from the editing room, Nan Zhi heard An Xiaolin’s scornful voice complaining, “Doesn’t she have a financier? Nan Yao managed to get someone to get Daley’s support, why isn’t she asking her financier to get the support of a bigger celebrity? Then again, Daley is the only celebrity with over 200 million fans in the world, there’s no other celebrity more popular than her. Looking at that, Nan Yao’s supporter is more powerful thanー”
“Oh my G.o.d! Nan Zhi’s financier is finally doing something! He’s too generous, too domineering and too crazy!” A colleague suddenly screamed out excitedly, cutting off An Xiaolin’s angry tirade.
