Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 446 The station director personally assigned the task
Cao Sheng entered the room and immediately felt a warmth on his body. It wasn't because Asa hugged him, but because the room was warm and cozy.

It was a bit hot for him, having just come in from outside.

He subconsciously unbuttoned his coat, and then unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.

Otherwise, he would be sweating profusely within minutes.

Seeing this, Asa, who was walking next to him, quickly suggested, "Mr. Cao! Why don't you take off your coat? The air conditioning here is a bit too hot. Shall I help you?"

She wasn't wearing a coat either; she was only wearing a fitted white wool sweater on top and light gray fitted jeans on the bottom, showing off her graceful figure.

To be honest, when Cao Sheng saw her dressed like this, the first thing that flashed through his mind was her appearance in a swimsuit when she participated in a variety show in the original timeline.

He happened to see her in a swimsuit on the variety show and was deeply impressed. He was amazed by her figure, especially her leg curves.

Because it's unexpectedly beautiful.

"it is good!"

Cao Sheng did not refuse. He raised his hand to take off his suit jacket, and Asa, her cheeks flushed, stepped forward and reached out to help him.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit ambiguous.

Up close, Cao Sheng could even see the fine hairs on her face.

She has very delicate skin.

They are not afraid of close-up examination or close-up shooting by cameras.

This is an advantage that many beautiful women do not possess. Some beautiful women look stunning from afar, but upon closer inspection, all sorts of skin imperfections are exposed.

Cao Sheng felt that they should find a topic to talk about, otherwise, the atmosphere would be too strange as they remained silent, one taking off his clothes and the other helping him take them off.

He glanced around her room, not seeing anyone else, and asked, "You didn't come alone this time, did you?"

Asa helped him take the suit he had taken off to the sofa not far away. Hearing this, he turned around, smiled, and nodded in agreement.

She placed his suit jacket on the armrest of the sofa, gestured for him to sit down, and then sat on the single sofa to the side, picked up the teapot from the coffee table, and poured him tea.

While pouring tea, he introduced, "Mr. Cao! This is Dongding Oolong tea that I brought from Hong Kong. Please try it. If you like it, I'll bring you more next time I come."

Dongding Oolong?

Cao Sheng had heard of this tea name before; he remembered it was from Taiwan.

The name "Dongding Oolong" sounds impressive, but the name "Dongding" simply means that this tea is grown on the top of a high mountain where the temperature is very low and cold. "Dongding" means a very cold mountaintop.

In fact, this tea should be the high mountain cloud and mist tea from inland China.

Of course, high mountain cloud and mist tea is indeed quite delicious.

Among the various types of tea that Cao Sheng always kept on hand was high mountain cloud and mist tea.

"Oh, okay! Thank you."

Cao Sheng took the teacup she handed him, smelled the aroma of the tea, and took a sip. He felt it was just so-so, not even as good as his can of high mountain cloud and mist tea that cost 500 yuan per kilogram!

It's nothing compared to his several cans of tea that cost thousands of yuan per kilogram.

Of course, there's no need to say these things aloud.

He smiled and praised, "Great! It's really excellent."

Upon hearing this, Asa beamed with joy and exclaimed, "Really? I spent 3000 Hong Kong dollars on this can of tea! If you like it, I'll keep it all for you."

Cao Sheng: "No need to be so polite! This tea is so expensive, you should keep it for yourself!"

Asa shook her head, "No! No! I prefer flower tea. I can't really appreciate this Dong Ding Oolong, so I'll leave it for you! Besides, I bought this can of tea especially for you. I heard from your fans online that you really like drinking tea, so I really bought it especially for you."

Cao Sheng was a little surprised. "Oh? You found my fans online? How did you find them?"

Asa smiled brightly, "It's very simple! Just go to your book review section and chat with everyone, and you'll see. Aren't all your fans there? Right?"

Cao Sheng smiled.

He sometimes dedicates a chapter in his works to talking about his life, and it seems he did mention in one of those chapters that he enjoys drinking tea.

I never expected that she would be able to find out about this little hobby of his.

"You have a heart."

After a pause, Cao Sheng changed the subject, "Have you eaten? If not, I'll go with you to get something to eat?"

Asa glanced at his watch and chuckled, "Wait a minute! It's not lunchtime yet! Shall we have some tea first, and then chat about something else?"

Cao Sheng smiled and nodded, "Okay! How have you been lately? Is your career picking up?"

Asa smiled shyly, her face turning slightly red. She bit her thin lips and said, "It's alright! The company gave us two albums last year, and the sales were decent."

What she didn't say was that the production quality of these two albums was average, and the outside world's evaluation of their singing skills was also average. However, their advantage as a group was their youth and good looks, which could satisfy some otaku's imagination of their first love. Therefore, their album sales were quite good, and their number of fans was growing rapidly.

She didn't want to talk about her shortcomings in front of Cao Sheng.

They only want to show their best side.

Cao Sheng nodded. An album?

As far as he could remember, he only remembered the titles of two songs from their group: "Next Stop, Superstar" and "Love Is Greater Than Heaven".

Of all the songs he can sing, only "Next Stop, Superstar" has a few lines.

He had no recollection of the song "Love Is Greater Than Heaven" except for the title; he had no memory of the lyrics or melody whatsoever.

And now, it seems they haven't sung "Next Stop, Superstar" yet.

At least in the last two years, he hadn't heard this song online.

Given how catchy and popular this song is, he believes he would have heard it long ago if it had actually been released.

"Great job! Keep it up! I have high hopes for your future."

Cao Sheng smiled encouragingly.

In his memory, after the release of "Next Stop, Superstar", the two of them became incredibly famous. They held one concert after another, and many popular movies released in Hong Kong cast them as the lead actors.

She once became a representative figure among the new generation of female stars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Until the release of Guan Xi's groundbreaking work, their group was suddenly broken up.

"Really? Mr. Cao, you really think our group has potential?"

Asa was pleasantly surprised.

Cao Sheng nodded with a smile.

For the next hour or so, Asa was very talkative, asking him about his writing, such as what time he usually wrote each day, and how he came up with so many character names and martial arts names in his book.

A little while later, I asked him about screenwriting.

For example: He was doing very well writing novels, and he had made a lot of money and fame. Why did he suddenly decide to write screenplays?

For example: Does he have any secrets to writing screenplays? Why has none of his screenplays been a failure so far?

Wait a minute. With her being so enthusiastic, it was hard for Cao Sheng to keep quiet.

All I could do was smile and chat with her.

……

About the same time.

Huizhou TV Station.

The station director's secretary found Jiang Xiaoshuang and told her to go to the station director's office, saying that the station director wanted to see her.

Having returned from her vacation, Jiang Xiaoshuang, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, knocked on the door of the station director's office.

She guessed that the station director probably wanted to talk to her about the scandal between her and Cao Sheng that their station had reported on on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It's actually quite an interesting story.

Someone leaked information to their station that Zhongyuan Yidianhui and a certain beautiful woman were seen holding hands and walking on the street on New Year's Eve, and even provided them with photos.

However, because the woman's face in the photo was very blurry, the reporter at their station who received the tip didn't recognize that the beautiful woman in the photo was Jiang Xiaoshuang.

Even the staff who produced the news later didn't recognize the beautiful woman in the photo as her.

Even after their station reported the scandal, no one at the station recognized that the woman in the scandal was Jiang Xiaoshuang.

It wasn't until someone online revealed her identity that her colleagues and superiors at the station were surprised to discover that their station was not only hyping up the scandal involving "Zhongyuan Yidianhui," but also their station's female reporter.

It's outrageous that their own TV station exposed their own reporter's scandal.

After Jiang Xiaoshuang's identity was exposed online, Huizhou TV quickly became popular and was remembered by countless people across the country.

This immediately put Huizhou TV in the spotlight.

Industry peers seemed to be casting mocking glances their way.

City leaders called one after another to inquire about the details of the matter.

Netizens made fun of it.

Some people say, "This TV station is really going all out to become popular! Is it trying to seduce some nobody in the Central Plains with its own station's most beautiful girl?"

Some people say, "If you can't find news, you make it up yourself. The leaders of this TV station are really something!"

Some people said, "Actually, Huizhou TV station is quite dedicated. With their equipment, they must have put a lot of thought into making the female reporter in the photo look blurry."

……

and many more.

Their TV station also did crisis management, issuing a statement on its official website, declaring that the news material was provided by enthusiastic citizens and was not fabricated by their station.

but……

How many viewers in this era would actually visit their channel's official website?
Even if people see such a statement, how many would believe it?

In fact, not only has the station been severely affected by this scandal, but Jiang Xiaoshuang's personal life has also been seriously impacted.

A classmate called to inquire about her relationship with Cao Sheng, trying to get her to admit that she was dating Cao Sheng.

A teacher called, jokingly asking her to bring Cao Sheng and her blessings to visit the teacher's home when she had time.

Some relatives called, excitedly asking if she was really with Zhongyuan Yidianhui and if she was going to bring him home to meet her parents.

and many more.

Her colleagues at the station have been much more polite to her lately. Although they gossip about her behind her back and she sometimes overhears a few words, they all behave very politely and respectfully in front of her, as if she has become a phoenix after rising to prominence.

Even some of the station's leaders have recently started to smile and chat with her when they see her.

and so……

What did the station director want to say to me today?
Are they offering me a promotion and a raise? Or are they advising me to quit?

When Jiang Xiaoshuang entered the station director's office, she had the illusion that she was walking into a courtroom and waiting for the verdict.

Station Director Zhao Zongshi was reviewing documents when he noticed Jiang Xiaoshuang entering the room. He immediately stopped writing, looked up at her, and put the pen cap back on.

With a smile, he pointed to the chair in front of his desk, "Little Jiang, right? Sit down! Sit down and let's talk!"

Jiang Xiaoshuang thanked him and sat down in front of his desk, looking slightly nervous.

"Director, who are you looking for?"

With the mindset that she'd be in trouble no matter what, she wanted to figure out the station director's purpose in contacting her as soon as possible.

Zhao Zongshi chuckled, looking at her face, and exclaimed, "Little Jiang, you have a really good face! Excellent bone structure! I've heard that there are two kinds of beauties: one is beautiful skin, and the other is beautiful bone structure! Your skin is good, but your bone structure is even more beautiful! If this were ancient times, someone with your looks would be the ideal daughter-in-law for many wealthy families. You have the air of a principal wife!"

Jiang Xiaoshuang: "???"

She never dreamed that the first time the station director called her to his office alone, the first thing he would say was about her appearance and bone structure.

And what's with this talk about the demeanor of a legal wife?

What's wrong with the station director? Is he usually like this?

She forced a smile and said awkwardly, "Director, you flatter me. I'm actually quite average-looking, I know that myself."

The station director shook his head. "No! No! Even if you don't trust my judgment, you should trust Zhongyuan Yidianhui's judgment, right? He's a renowned talent! How could he not be very selective when choosing a girlfriend? Isn't that right?"

Jiang Xiaoshuang smiled wryly, "You've misunderstood. I'm not his girlfriend, really."

The station director nodded. "I know, his ex-girlfriend's surname was Huang, right? She was on the news, I know."

Jiang Xiaoshuang was speechless when she saw that he was still looking at her with admiration.

Station Director Zhao Zongshi got up, walked to the water dispenser, reached for a disposable paper cup, turned to her with a smile and asked, "Xiao Jiang, would you like some tea?"

Jiang Xiaoshuang was startled and quickly stood up, waving her hand. "Director! I'm not thirsty! Really, please don't bother. How can I let you pour me water?"

Zhao Zongshi didn't take it seriously. While pouring her some water, he said, "It's nothing! It's just pouring you a glass of water, what's the big deal? As long as you do the work I give you later seriously, that's fine."

Jiang Xiaoshuang asked in surprise, "Director? You have work to give me?"

To her surprise, the station director was going to personally assign her work tasks? Did her work really need to be assigned by the station director himself?

Zhao Zongshi filled a glass with water, walked over, placed it in front of her, and said with a smile, "Little Jiang! I believe you may not be Zhongyuan Yidianhui's official girlfriend yet, but since you can hold hands with him while shopping, your relationship must be pretty good, right?"

Jiang Xiaoshuang remained silent.

He had no words to argue his point.

Yes! She and he were seen holding hands and walking on the street on New Year's Eve, and there are photos to prove it. Who would believe that their relationship is just ordinary?
She wouldn't believe it if the woman in the rumored affair wasn't her.

Moreover, she knew in her heart that her relationship with Cao Sheng was indeed special; they had kissed.

Seeing that she was speechless, Zhao Zongshi chuckled and subconsciously raised his hand to pat her shoulder. But as soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly remembered her relationship with Cao Sheng and withdrew it. He smiled and said, "I hope you can represent our station to do an exclusive interview with him! You should also know that this scandal between you two has had a significant impact on our station's image and reputation. You are also a member of the station, and you have a responsibility to help the station salvage some of its image, right?"
