Chapter 353: The Ratings Have Finally Been Calculated
Nan Yao’s expression suddenly changed.
As Nan Zhi’s voice was not soft, many people in the conference room gave her a strange look, bordering on disdain.
Nan Yao knew that she could not wash away the stain of her miscarriage.
But time is a good thing, it allowed peoples’ memories to fade away.
But Nan Zhi had brought it to the light again, exposing her wounds and reminding everyone of what she was trying so hard to bury.
Nan Yao bit her lip, her hands clenched tightly into fists, holding down the urge to slap Nan Zhi. Gritting her teeth, she almost spat out the words, “I don’t believe your appeal can be stronger than Daley’s? I heard that the data network crashed last night when your program was on the air. Ha, you can’t win over me even if it didn’t crash. Just be prepared to leave when the ratings come out later! Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance to back out!”
Ever since she was being criticized by the netizens, Nan Yao did not go into Weibo anymore. Last night she went to a bar with some of her girl friends to celebrate her program receiving top ratings and so she really hadn’t paid attention to anything else. She could hardly wait for Nan Zhi to get kicked out of the broadcasting station.
Nan Yao sat beside Liu Chengren and Lin Wanyue with a proud look. If it was not for her, would Daley have even supported their program and made it a success? Both Liu Chengren and Lin Wanyue should be grateful for her.
“Director Liu, Sister Wanyue, don’t worry. ‘Dreams’ will be the trump card of variety programs in the broadcasting station in the future. It’s impossible for ‘Delicacy’ to surpass it!”
Lin Wanyue looked at the confident Nan Yao with a complex expression and said nothing.
Liu Chengren’s heart was thumping. The publicity and attention for ‘Delicacy’ were too fierce last night that before the final ratings come out, he was not so sure he could win.
After nearly half an hour’s meeting, Xia Xi hurried in with the latest TV ratings sheet in her hand. “Head of Broadcasting, Director Zhang, Sister Zhi, the viewer ratings are out.”
Xia Xi’s shocked face was unusually serious and Nan Zhi’s heart jolted. Were the viewer ratings very bad?
When Liu Chengren saw Xia Xi’s expression, he was suddenly delighted. “Assistant Xia, the ratings weren’t ideal? Well, after our program was aired, the sponsors personally called us the next day to thank us. My hands are tired from answering calls from morning to noon. Look at your Director Zhang, he didn’t get any calls today right? Obviously the audience has not responded well and the sponsors are disappointed with your program.”
Nan Yao looked at Nan Zhi proudly with a delighted face and commented snidely, “According to the bet, Nan Zhi can’t work in the broadcasting station anymore. I know you liked this job. What a pity.
“But it doesn’t matter. You’re beautiful and have a financier to back you up. As long as you spread your legs, you’ll have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life.”
Nan Yao’s words were mean and spiteful, but no one else dared to say a word to her, including the head.
Nan Zhi retorted mockingly, “Isn’t this more suitable for you? After all, it seems you can eat anything. Shall I show you a photo of that pimpled face man? How… open-minded you are.”
Nan Yao slammed her fist onto the conference table and shrieked, “Nan Zhi, stop uncovering my scars! If your ratings can’t make it, then pack your bags and scram!”
Xia Xi handed the sheet of TV ratings to Zhang Yijun. Zhang Yijun looked at the paper and his hands shook, his face so tense that he could hardly speak.
Nan Zhi did not want to argue with Nan Yao anymore and she asked Zhang Yijun softly, “Director Zhang, how is it?”
Zhang Yijun, sweating in his palm, handed the paper to Nan Zhi. “Have a look yourself.”
Everyone in the conference room was confused, how bad were the ratings to make Zhang Yijun so nervous that he was sweating?
Nan Zhi took the paper and looked at it.
This one glance startled her and her fingers tightened noticeably.
