60 The Sudden Mission, Unlock! (1/2)
He sported a small tuft of beard, walked over smiling with shades on.
Li Tai went up to welcome him eagerly, ”Boss Zheng, how's the audience measurement?”
The audience measurement statistics after screening could be checked on any phone, but Li Tai grew impatient and went directly to the TV station to get the real-time data instead.
”Hahaha, Old Li, you've struck gold this time!” Zheng Bing laughed, ”Just before I came out, the audience measurement had just passed 2!”
”It passed 2!?”
Li Tai was stunned, his face glowing, ”Really?”
”Absolutely! Furthermore, it's going up relatively quickly! Even now it's still climbing!” Zheng Bing nodded in confirmation.
”Old Li, congratulations on making a big step forward!”
Huff—
Li Tai let out a deep long breath of relief. Now that the anxiety had passed, it was replaced with a sense of uncontainable excitement.
In this era where the internet is readily available, everyone was on their computers and phones. Those who would still watch TV were declining, hence an audience measurement of 2 was already a commendable achievement.
Li Tai's record was only 1.6!
'Ye… Y didn't let me down! Yesterday the audience measurement was only at 1.2. It's obvious that most of the viewers are here to watch him!' Li Tai thought to himself.
The main factor in their popularity boost was because of that video of him fighting a wolf with his bare hands. Next were his acting skills that maintained the popularity of the show. It could be said that he carried the entire TV series by himself!
”Old Li, this… Y. Just what kind of a person is he? You should know right?” Zheng Bing tried to find out more information.
”He prefers to stay anonymous. It's not convenient for me to expose him.”
”Not even to me?” Zheng Bing frowned slightly, ”Old Li, you know I'm not a blabbermouth. Now that his audience measurements are somewhat guaranteed, our station's plans to invite him to join our variety show.”
Li Tai laughed bitterly as he shook his head, ”Boss Zheng, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't have the guts to.”
”You're scared? He has some big shots backing him?” Zheng Bing was surprised.
Li Tai's expression was serious as he pointed at the sky, muttering, ”As big as the sky!”
…
Ring, ring, ring!
In the male dormitory, Ye Lingchen picked up his phone.
”Hello, Sister Feifei.”
”Lingchen, how does being a celebrity feel?” Xiao Feifei's voice could be heard over the phone, carrying with it a tiny hint of envy. ”You're even more popular than me now.”
”Sister Feifei, please don't make fun of me. I'm nothing compared to you.” Ye Lingchen replied with a smile.
Xiao Feifei continued, ”Are you sure you're not going to join the entertainment industry? If you reveal your identity now, your value will skyrocket. Using this current hype and a few good scripts, you will reach the top with ease.”
”Currently I have no such intention.”
”Then would you like me to introduce you to some beauties in the entertainment field? They are all pestering me about Y in all desperateness,” Xiao Feifei laughed.
”Please don't.”
”Oh right, I have to thank you for that past incident.” Xiao Feifei paused, then hesitated for a moment before asking, ”In the future… will you still come give me a massage?”
”Sister Feifei, rest assured. I'll be right there when you call.”
On the other side of the phone, Xiao Feifei finally relaxed. An intoxicating smile appeared on her face, ”Are you free this weekend?”
Ye Lingchen thought about it, then quickly agreed as he was rather free for the time being.
The next day, Ye Lingchen started his first ever class since he entered university.
He majored in Chinese literature, and the first class was China's contemporary literature.
An almost middle-aged female teacher.
