56 I Canst Speak The Truth? (1/2)

”I just wanted to squander.”

Hearing Hong Dali, the host started to sweat profusely. Fortunately, the host was quick-witted and was able to respond quickly. ”Ah ha ha. Mr. Hong Dali must be joking. Oh yes, I forgot to inform you, we're broadcasting live now. Mr. Hong Dali's words are currently being transmitted to the world.”

Hong Dali: ”Live broadcast? Wait a minute. What channel is this?”

The host wiped his sweat away. ”This is Tianjing Variety Channel.”

Hong Dali: ”Xiaoyi, change the channel to Tianjing Variety Channel.” A short moment later, Hong Dali started speaking. ”Hello, can you hear me? Can you hear what I'm saying? Aye? It seems like this is really broadcasting live. Whatever I'm saying can be heard from the television. This is fun!”

The host was on the verge of breaking down. ”Mr. Hong Dali, do you believe me now?”

Hong Dali: ”Ah yes, I believe you. What were you asking me? What plan? I was not planning anything.”

Host: ”How could that be? Miss Li Nianwei's concert was so successful that her net worth shot up to the skies within days. We would like to find out, where did you get the inspiration for this god-level plan?”

Hong Dali: ”Oh, the concert. What did I do then? I really had no plans. I only wanted to squander. I was bored, and there was nothing to do anyway…”

Live broadcast and yet his response was so insipid! The host decisively ended the call. ”My apologies everyone. We must have got the wrong person. Please hold on for a moment. We must have gotten the number wrong.” While speaking, he winked at the people in the backstage, attempting to get their attention to call someone else more accommodating. If this continued, the program was sure to crumble.

Hong Dali was cursing at the phone on the other end. ”Heck, why is this person so lacking in quality. Can't I speak the truth? Don't tell me I have to lie to accommodate you? Ridiculous. Completely ridiculous!”

Xiaoyi stood in the corner wiping her sweat. This young master really dared to speak his mind. But he really didn't have to care too much about this. With his background and status, he couldn't care less about this TV program.

Hong Dali continued grumbling for a while, and later threw Ling Xiaoyi's phone out.

Ling Xiaoyi was aggrieved. ”Young Master, that phone… belongs to me…”

Hong Dali: ”It's alright. I'll give mine to you.” Hong Dali gave away a limited edition smartphone that cost 125,000 yuan just like that…

It went quiet in the room for a while. Hong Dali suddenly rubbed his chin and said, ”Oh yes, Xiaoyi, how is the Zhong Dian website? When will the recruitment drive be held?”

Ling Xiaoyi replied, ”Young Master, about forty people have signed up. The interview is set on this coming Saturday at 9 AM. Does Young Master intend to take a look then?”

”This coming Saturday at 9 AM?” Hong Dali rubbed his chin. ”It is 8 PM now. There is nothing much to do, and the streets are crowded and noisy. Let's arrange for the interview to happen now. Give them a call. Say that I will hold the interview at 9 PM. We will interview whoever can make it.”

”Okay, Young Master.”

9 PM. Chenhui Building, level 8.

Since Hong Dali bought Chenhui Building, his varied collection of things had been moved over. Caiwei Entertainment was situated at level 9. Zhong Dian website was situated at level 8. More than ten plus levels were vacant. Hong Dali did not lack money; hence, he kept them for use later—the way Hong Dali was squandering, the building would be filled up in no time.
