Chapter 124 Design Competition Celebration Banquet (2)
"The live TV broadcast had very high ratings, far exceeding those of the same time slot in the past, and even on par with the prime-time evening broadcast."
Shen Wancheng was a little surprised.
"Did Zhou Heng promote it beforehand? How come the ratings are so high?"
"No, the ratings were normal at the beginning, but they only increased after the dispute broke out on set."
"It seems this is truly living up to its name; it's even more exciting than a TV drama, and everyone is watching it like a TV series."
"Yes, tomorrow's newspapers and magazines should report on it extensively. I've already asked several mainstream magazines to pay attention to the direction of public opinion."
Shen Wancheng had also considered controlling the media's public opinion, and planned to instruct Li Su to do so after the celebration banquet. Shen Wancheng did not expect that Gu Jinxing would arrange it for her first.
She sincerely thanked her, "Thank you."
There's no need for us to stand on ceremony.
Both of them deliberately lowered their voices, not wanting anyone else present to hear them.
To others, their behavior appeared very intimate.
Immediately, everyone's eyes were filled with teasing.
Feeling a little embarrassed under everyone's gaze, Shen Wancheng cleared her throat and changed the subject.
They are still in the clubhouse, but the dining room has been moved to the tea room.
Shen Wancheng stood up and poured Liang Muchao a cup of tea.
She expressed her sincere gratitude.
"Thank you for today, Young Master Liang. Without you, things would not have gone so smoothly and wonderfully."
Lan Qin also stood up.
"Wan Cheng is right. Wan Cheng is the biggest contributor today, but Young Master Liang's contribution is also undeniable. Thank you very much."
Liang Muchao stood up to return the greeting.
"I'm happy to contribute to the works I love. Let me make this clear in advance: when I get married, you will be the ones to give me and my wife our wedding attire."
Shen Wancheng readily agreed.
"no problem."
After they sat down again, Shen Yao asked.
"So, did you arrange everything today, sister? How did you know Li Gang's design would have problems?"
This was something that the others present were also curious about.
Everyone present except Gu Jinxing was there and had participated, but none of them knew beforehand that things would turn out this way.
Shen Wancheng explained to everyone.
"It's all improvisation; apart from the live television broadcast, nothing else was arranged before the match."
Shen Wancheng looked at Lan Qin and smiled, saying, "Arranging a live TV broadcast shows that we have 100% confidence in Grandma Lan's work, and now it seems that we were right. Everyone has a good eye."
Lan Qin smiled and urged, "I didn't ask you to praise me. Tell me what you've done. I'm curious too."
Shen Wancheng continued.
"When Li Gang first came to provoke us, I noticed the kimono his mannequin was wearing, and I happened to remember the pattern on it. So I went out and called Gu Jinxing, asking him to arrange for Zhou Heng to broadcast a video about the pattern in the Taiwan Museum on TV."
"At the same time, he should find a history professor at the University of Hong Kong."
At this point, Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing and said, "Professor Zhou's arrival was unexpected. I didn't expect him to invite such an authoritative professor as Professor Zhou."
"I originally planned to wait until after the match and have the professor point it out."
"The idea of bribing the organizers to let the kimono team win first place was Liang Shao's idea."
After Shen Wancheng said that, everyone looked at Liang Muchao again.
Liang Muchao puffed out his chest, looking like he was really smart.
Shen Yao chuckled and snorted, "You're just good at playing pranks."
Shen Wancheng continued, "Actually, that's all I did. What happened afterward was all improvised and went with the flow."
Lan Qin immediately continued.
"That's not all. Your arrangements are truly comprehensive. When you first went out to make a phone call, you thought that protecting our personal safety was the most important thing. You went to the front audience area yourself, but you arranged for two bodyguards to protect Ning Shuang, Yun Qing, and me backstage."
"Also, when you're in the audience seats, there are always people around you, whether it's you or Young Master Liang. I definitely couldn't arrange things so meticulously."
Zhou Yunqing also expressed her gratitude.
“My mom is right, your arrangements are very meticulous, and I am especially grateful to you for arranging for people to protect my mom.”
"Please don't be so polite, everyone. This is all I should do. Fortunately, everything went smoothly today. Li Gang has been publicly disgraced, and the people of Japan probably won't hire him again. Grandma Lan can finally let go of her worries now."
Lan Qin sighed.
"I've let it go. From now on, I'll act as if this person never existed."
"It's good that you can let it go. It's very late today, so let's not talk about business. Let's schedule a time tomorrow to discuss the company's future."
"well."
Shen Wancheng then asked, "Are you going home today? Since you're coming back tomorrow anyway, I suggest you don't go back and forth. I'll arrange a hotel for you."
"I don't need your arrangements, I'll stay at a friend's house."
"Okay, give me an address later, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."
Lan Qin refused again, "No need, I'll have Jin Xing send someone to take me. Aren't you and him family?"
Shen Wancheng immediately understood that Lan Qin and Zhou Yunqing were probably going to find Wen Nan.
Shen Wancheng, after all, has not yet married into the Gu family. Although she and Wen Nan did not have any conflicts at the Lan family last time, from Lan Qin's perspective as an outsider, there was some friction.
That's why Lan Qin has never mentioned Wen Nan.
This was meant to avoid suspicion, and also to tell Shen Wancheng that her relationship with Shen Wancheng was solely theirs, and any cooperation was unrelated to Wen Nan.
Shen Wancheng really liked Lan Qin's sense of boundaries.
Shen Wancheng nodded and smiled, "Alright, I'll have him pick you up tomorrow."
The celebration banquet ended at 8 p.m., and they chatted in the tea room for a while, and before they knew it, it was 9 p.m.
Shen Wancheng suppressed a few yawns.
After Lan Qin noticed this, she used the excuse that she was too old to handle it and asked everyone to leave.
Gu Jinxing sent a car to take Lan Qin away, while Ye Ningshuang and Zhou Heng left when Professor Zhou left.
Liang Muchao drove away by himself, and as he left, he told Shen Yao that he would take her for a drive, and very tactfully took Shen Yao with him.
Within minutes, everyone had dispersed, leaving only Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing at the foot of the club building.
Cheng Ming stopped his car in front of them. Before Cheng Ming could get out and help Gu Jinxing, Shen Wancheng took the initiative to put Gu Jinxing's hand on her shoulder.
Let Gu Jinxing get on the bus with his help.
Cora wanted to help, but Gu Jinxing waved his hand and refused.
Gu Jinxing's leg had long since healed, and Shen Wancheng knew this, so at this moment Gu Jinxing was just putting on an act and did not actually put his body weight on Shen Wancheng.
After they settled into their seats in the back of the train...
Gu Jinxing suddenly grabbed Shen Wancheng's hand.
Shen Wancheng glanced involuntarily at their clasped hands, but did not pull them apart.
Seeing that Shen Wancheng made no attempt to break free, Gu Jinxing smiled faintly.
"If you're sleepy, take a nap first."
Shen Wancheng shook her head.
"It won't make a difference if we wait a little longer."
Shen Wancheng paused for a moment, then continued.
Thank you for today.
