Ch61 - Planting Trees

The director was now regretting it, regretting it. If he had known that the guest Lu Hao wanted to recommend was Li Zhao then he wouldn’t have changed even if 10 Xu Bei was given to him. Ah, he should look on the bright side. Perhaps Li Zhao’s performance wouldn’t be so good in the next issue.

After comforting himself, the director stood up. “Please inform Xu Bei to hurry and go to do the shooting. Don’t think he can’t follow the rules just because there is the support of Zijia.” 

There were all insiders who had friends. It wasn’t good for anyone to tear at him. He was a well-known producer and director. It wasn’t necessary for him to look after a new person. In the past, he tolerated Xu Bei for the sake of Zijia Entertainment but once he saw Li Zhao’s wonderful performance in Seclusion Mountain Forest, tolerance became complaints.

Love was the show created by him. For this show, he drank until there was a hole in his stomach and acted like a turtle inside its shell in front of the leaders of the TV station. He made the show successfully so how could he want it to decline in the second season?

Xu Bei watched Seclusion Mountain Forest. The villa that Li Zhao stayed in caused a lot of discussions so he also wanted to show off his villa. However, the program group ignored his proposal and kept pushing him to shoot. 

In his memory, a program like Seclusion Mountain Forest didn’t exist. Why did it become so hot after Li Zhao took part in it?

He just had to open an online media platform and he would see videos of Li Zhao from the show. Netizens kept boasting about how cute or upright he was, attracting many passersby.

The streets, bus stations, subway stations and shopping malls were covered with posters of Li Zhao’s Cangshi endorsement. If he opened a TV station casually, Li Zhao’s advertisements would pop up.

Cangshi’s advertisements also appeared on the opening screens of a variety of social software and even newspapers. It could be see how much they valued Li Zhao as their spokesperson.

If Yan Ting wasn’t the big boss of Cangshi, Xu Bei would’ve suspected that the big boss liked Li Zhao and was willing to spend so much energy pushing him.

Everyone in the world could do such a thing but only Yan Ting was impossible. How could a person who had no awe for life know how to like a person?

Still, Xu Bei clearly stole the opportunities belonging to Li Zhao. Why was this person so popular in the end? All his efforts were like a joke in front of Li Zhao’s popularity. He wasn’t willing.

On the wide highway, there were few vehicles. Li Zhao looked at the yellow land outside the car window and hummed a song called Loess’ High Slopes so that the staff members were jealous.

“Zhao Zhao, we’re almost there.” A staff member handed the task card to Li Zhao. “Today at noon, you need to go to the villagers’ houses to borrow ingredients and cook lunch for yourself.”

“I’m not going for a meal??” Li Zhao had some regrets.

The staff member replied, “No.” 

He was afraid that Li Zhao would eat too much and eat all the food in the villagers’ houses.

“I know, you won’t treat me kindly.” Li Zhao took out his phone, took a few photos of Loess Plateau and after getting off the vehicle, he would find an opportunity to send it to Ting Ting.
