Chapter 3840: Chapter 3828: Provocation

"It’s nothing, just asking casually."

In Zhao Yuhuan’s eyes, the matter had been resolved, so Lin Yi asking such a question seemed odd.

They chatted for a bit, and then it was time to clock out from work.

In the evening, Lin Yi had arranged to have dinner with Yan Ci. The two planned another round, and then headed home.

However, the system task wasn’t completed until the next morning.

After arriving at the office, without waiting to sit down, Lin Yi was called away by Zhao Jing.

Tomorrow was the day of the sponsorship meeting, so today was all about busying with these matters.

After a hectic morning, it wasn’t until after 2 PM when lunch was had, and it was just a boxed meal.

"Director Zhao, how’s your show coming along?"

While a few of them were gathered, discussing the details, Wang Minji walked in.

At the same time, Li Wei was by his side.

"Everything’s good, the sponsorship meeting is tomorrow, if you’re free come take a look."

"It’s your first time as a producer, of course I have to come and support." Wang Minji said with a chuckle:

"Has everyone been contacted in advance? With this scale, it’d be a problem if nobody shows up tomorrow."

Hearing the sarcasm in Wang Minji’s words, Zhao Jing’s face stayed unchanged, still wearing a smile.

"Rest assured, that won’t happen."

Wang Minji laughed heartily, "But I came here today to introduce you to a sponsor."

Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards Wang Minji.

"I feel like there’s something fishy here. How could he be so kind?" Chu Hao commented.

"For sure, let’s see what kind of tricks he’s up to." Ma Guotao said.

Zhao Jing smiled at Wang Minji, "Well then, thanks Producer Wang."

"I have a business card here, their factory makes pig feed, recently they want to advertise pig feed. Get in touch with them. Can’t promise much, but they’ll probably invest at least a million."

Zhao Jing frowned slightly but quickly managed her expression.

"Producer Wang, your network surprises me. You know people even in such fields; have you started pig farming as a sideline?" Zhao Jing joked:

"If you’re not desperate, avoid that. It’s easy to catch swine flu, and it’s hard to get rid of the smell; one can’t even function properly."

Wang Minji’s expression froze instantly, unable to respond to Zhao Jing’s jibes.

"I’ve already given you the contact info, get in touch quickly. Sponsorship opportunities are rare; if you can’t find anyone to support you, it’ll be embarrassing, and the station will lose face."

"I’ll reach out, but you should also be careful. If you do catch a disease, it’s hard to treat."

"That’s none of your concern!"

In terms of wordplay, Wang Minji was no match for Zhao Jing, so he turned around and left with Li Wei.

"That Zhao Jing really has a sharp tongue, doesn’t let up." Li Wei said.

"All she can do is talk big. Tomorrow, when no one shows up for sponsorship, she’ll have to use the pig feed ad."

"In the end, it all comes down to viewership ratings." Li Wei said dismissively:

"With their meager budget, hiring outdated singers, Qingqing alone could outshine them."

"That’s why I said they were naive, thinking they could cross into the variety show field with some achievements in self-media. Do they really think they’re cut out for this?"

"They’re the type that won’t turn back until they hit the concrete wall. Once they suffer losses, they’ll realize that some things are beyond their reach." Li Wei said.

"But this is good, with their attempt, it creates a comparison effect, and my position at the station will be even more unrivaled."

"In popular terms now, they’re just here to lay themselves out." Wang Minji laughed heartily, "You’re right, the station has given me such a boost in resources, and they’re here to die. I just have to show them the vast expanse of the skies."

"Actually, I think the main reason might be Zhang Qingyu. If it weren’t for his secret support, Zhao Jing probably wouldn’t be so bold."

"That’s definitely it, because I’m not one of Zhang Qingyu’s people; he naturally doesn’t want to see me gain more power, so he played this trick." Wang Minji sneered:

"But I want to say, Zhang Qingyu underestimated me and overestimated Zhao Jing. How can she be compared to me in terms of ability?"

"Because they’ve run out of options, Zhang Qingyu has no one else to use, so he can only resort to this method."

"Then I’ll teach him a lesson, let him know my prowess." Wang Minji said to Li Wei:

"But for this matter, we’ll need your strong support. We must put on a good show."

"Don’t worry, I’ll go back and talk to Qingqing, try to have her sing one more song for this price."

"Really? Will Qingqing agree?"

"Now it’s not about contesting for bread, but for face; Qingqing will definitely agree."

"That’s great, coincidentally we’re not busy, let’s go have a drink."

"Let’s go, right now."

Meanwhile, in Studio No. 4.

After Wang Minji and Li Wei left, Zhao Jing turned around and threw the business card into the trash can.

"Ignore them, let’s continue with our own thing, but don’t mention Lingyun Group’s investment outside. We’re either silent or we make a sensation."

"Understood."

After lunch, the liaison from Lingyun Group arrived.

Zhao Jing left to discuss the specific details, while the three stayed behind to continue debating the format and content details of the performance.

But Lin Yi wasn’t familiar with this stuff, it was all Yan Ci telling him beforehand, he just learned and applied on the spot.

Around after five in the evening, Zhao Jing returned, with a triumphant smile on her face.

"Got it done, thirty million secured."

Upon hearing this, Ma Guotao excitedly asked:

"How is it? Are Lingyun Group’s people easy to deal with?"

"Extremely affable, seems like it has to be a big company; the people there are really down-to-earth, and asked lots of professional questions. They didn’t make any excessive demands, the entire conversation was very cooperative; definitely a big company."

"Now with Lingyun Group as our safety net, I’m more confident about tomorrow’s sponsorship meeting. Even if it’s just a dime, we’ll be profiting."

"That’s true, but we should still push ourselves harder, seize every opportunity."

"Got it."

That night, Lin Yi stayed back to work overtime, after wrapping up, Zhao Jing treated him to dinner. By the time he got home, it was already past ten.

After washing up, as he lay in bed ready to sleep, he opened the system panel to find the task progress still at 2/3.

This made Lin Yi feel uneasy.

"It’s been two days, why isn’t the matter settled yet?"

Somewhere deep down, Lin Yi felt something might have gone awry, but the letter of understanding had been signed, what could possibly go wrong?
