Chapter 354: Lost Miserably
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nan Zhi’s thick and long eyelashes blinked once.
Then she blinked again.
She thought she might have seen wrongly.
Her pupils constricted and her heart was almost in her throat.
She raised her head from the TV ratings sheet and looked at Zhang Yijun who was beside her. She asked with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Director Zhang, I’m not seeing it wrongly, am I?”
Zhang Yijun had been making programs for years and had many successes and failures. He was a person who had experienced violent storms and waves, but in this moment, he lost his composure and was stunned into silence.
Young Master Mu had generously publicized the program last night, pus.h.i.+ng the program to popularity on the internet. But before the final TV viewer ratings are out, he was still worried.
It was until the data was out that he finally let out the breath he was holding.
He breathed a sigh of relief but at the same time, he was in disbelief.
This phenomenon was never seen in the history of variety shows.
It was too shocking.
The head of broadcasting looked at Nan Zhi and Zhang Yijun, who were clearly dumbfounded, and could not help asking, “How are the ratings?”
Liu Chengren chimed in, “It must be terribly low! If the ratings are an all time low after that kind of publicity yesterday, then Zhang Yijun, there’s no need for you to record the program anymore. It’s such an embarra.s.sment to our broadcasting station.”
“Who said we are an embarra.s.sment?” Zhang Yijun got out of his dazed stupor and laughed happily, handing the ratings sheet to Xia Xi, who was behind him. “Read it out loudly!”
Perhaps he had not heard Zhang Yijun cheerful laughter for a long time, Liu Chengren’s expression darkened. “Have you become dumb?”
As soon as he had finished speaking, Xia Xi’s pleasant and crisp voice read out, “The ratings for the first broadcast of ‘Delicacy Wins The World’ is 4.8% nationwide, 5.5% city-based which sets the highest premiere rating out of all the national variety shows!”
It was not only the best in Ning City’s broadcasting station, it was also the highest among all the variety shows in the country in the last ten years!
Hearing Xia Xi reading out the ratings, Liu Chengren and Nan Yao were dumbfounded.
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Even in the world, few could even hope to achieve this kind of rating.
Nan Yao’s face took on a ghastly complexion and she stammered, “T-This must be fake. Nan Zhi, did you make Young Master Mu buy TV ratings for you? This is outrageously fake!”
The head of the broadcasting station slammed the table once and said in a low voice, no longer caring about respecting Nan Yao, “Don’t talk rubbish. Our broadcasting station never fakes our ratings. Besides, the National Radio and Television Administration is checking everything very strictly now, if the ratings can’t be bought, how can it be faked?”
Nan Yao’s body swayed and her face paled in an instant as she staggered back.
She thought she would surely win and kick Nan Zhi out of the broadcasting station but…
How could this happen?
Why did she still lose to Nan Zhi when she had invited Daley to support ‘Dreams’?
It was impossible!
“I don’t believe it!” Nan Yao stood up and s.n.a.t.c.hed the ratings sheet from Xia Xi. She looked at it carefully with wide eyes several times. She muttered with an ashen face, “How could the ratings be so good? It’s not normal!”
Nan Zhi looked at the shocked Nan Yao and she smirked coldly. “Must it be worse than your program for it to be normal? Nan Yao, it’s clear from a glance who won and who lost. You should know what to do next, right?”
Nan Yao glared at Nan Zhi with red rimmed eyes and she gritted her teeth with anger. “Yes, I lost. You don’t have to chase me out, I know how to leave by myself.”
Everything cloud has a silver lining.
Having lost to Nan Zhi countless times in the past, Nan Yao understood something very clearly and this was now her only consolation. There might be better opportunities for her, leaving the broadcasting station.
Only by constantly strengthening herself would she be able to trample on Nan Zhi.
She would not be so impulsive in the future, framing Nan Zhi rashly without a backup. She must learn how to hit the nail on the head so that Nan Zhi could never rise again!
