But Chief Hu’s daughter, Hu Yueran, was Lu Hancheng’s fan, and she also liked a few other “little fresh meats.” So, to get her fill of their delectable figures and faces, she watched the live-stream on her computer in her bedroom.

Chief Hu was still watching the news when he was startled by a loud shriek emitted by Hu Yueran and hurried over with Mrs. Hu to take a look.

He was met halfway by Hu Yueran, who had charged out of her room.

“Dad, Dad!” Hu Yueran rushed over with a stunned expression.

“What is it? Shouting so loudly.” Seeing that Hu Yueran was fine otherwise, Chief Hu relaxed.

“Dad, it’s Lu Man! Come and see!” Hu Yueran dragged Chief Hu to the computer without further ado.

Hu Yueran knew about the conflict between Xing Ke Station and Lu Man.

During that period, Chief Hu had talked about his work regarding Lu Man over dinner.

“What’s with Lu Man?” Chief Hu was unenthused, “I don’t like to look at her. I think she’s irritating.”

“It’s not that!” Hu Yueran pressed. “Come and see, Dad, you’ll regret it if you don’t.”

Chief Hu glared at her before looking towards the screen.

And what greeted his eyes blew his mind.

Lu Man and Han Zhuoli?

“Lu Man has just won the Best Newcomer Award,” Hu Yueran explained at the side.

“People around her started congratulating her, and I was surprised when even Han Zhuoli stood up. I thought, how big is Wang Juhuai’s prestige that even Han Zhuoli’d stand up and personally congratulate Lu Man? But in the next instant, Lu Man was hugging Han Zhuoli, and he never pushed her away.

“The camera didn’t have a close-up shot then, so I only saw Lu Man saying something to Han Zhuoli, and then it became like this...” Hu Yueran pointed at the screen.

Han Zhuoli was holding and kissing Lu Man.

Just then, Chief Hu’s phone rang.

One glance told him it was Assistant Chief Wang calling. “Old Hu, did you watch the award ceremony yet?”

“If you’re referring to the thing about Lu Man and Han Zhuoli, I’ve seen it,” Chief Hu said through gritted teeth. All of a sudden, his chest ached terribly and left him breathless.

“What do we do now?” Assistant Chief Wang was panicking. “Our station picked on Lu Man severely—we have to quickly think of a solution to make amends! I was still wondering why we were failing to invite the artistes under the Han Corporation recently.”

Even though Lu Man and Han Zhuoli did not make their relationship public, Han Zhuoli had already had his revenge privately—he did nothing outwardly—when Xing Ke Station was bullying Lu Man.

Take the artistes, for example. Those under the Han Corporation rarely went for Xing Ke Station’s programs anymore.

Unless Xing Ke Station offered a high price, one so significantly high that the artiste couldn’t refuse. The Han Corporation wouldn’t stop their artistes from earning money, of course.

But if the offered shows were similar to other stations, they would not necessarily choose Xing Ke Station.

The Han Corporation’s condition did not cost the artistes any losses.

Xing Ke Station was not the only one with popular variety shows nowadays, so no one complained.

Moreover, the company also stated that they were allowed to attend if Xing Ke Station offered a high price.

Since the artistes were not stopped from earning income, they were more than willing to comply.

Despite this, Xing Ke Station still suffered.

They couldn’t afford such exorbitant prices either!

Hence, no artistes from the Han Corporation came.

Before that, they did not think that anything was wrong; they thought that it was because the artistes really couldn’t make it because of their schedules. For who would think otherwise?

There were so many things to be busy with every day. No one had the time to wonder about all these coincidences and sort them out to realize the problem.

Now that Han Zhuoli and Lu Man had gone public with their relationship, Assistant Chief Wang suddenly saw things clearly, realizing that not a single artiste managed by the Han Corporation had actually come to Xing Ke Station during this period!
