After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 447 The Woman's Guide

"Everyone's Artistic Achievements" is on track.

Preparations began in multiple areas, including organizing contestants and starting the recording of the first episode.

The two main sponsors need to follow suit immediately.

Antarctic and Narcissus Electric Appliances.

Narcissus Electric Appliances is easy to deal with; it's already one of Zhou Haoran's major clients.

The Antarctic people are different...

This was a local sponsor that Yi Changping, the director of the entertainment channel, had finally managed to secure for Red Star TV using many different strategies... but unexpectedly, instead of landing on the entertainment channel, it ended up hooking up with that kid Zhou Haoran.

How does this work?
His wife, Lin Guiyan, was the first to step forward.

Zhou Haoran had been intentionally avoiding her.

However, she persisted relentlessly.

"Haoran! Wait a minute, Haoran!"

"I still have something to do."

"I know, just the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee."

"Let's talk about it next time."

Zhou Haoran was on his way to school. He had two projects in hand, which he usually handed over to several graduate and undergraduate students. He would occasionally go over and give them some pointers.

Lin Guiyan was very anxious and rushed up to him, whispering, "I saw it all that time. You went to the dance hall with He Jin."

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran's eyes were sharp.

Lin Guiyan pursed her lips and gave a seductive wink, "Have you forgotten about me now that you have a new love? Don't worry, I won't say anything."

"Just a cup of coffee."

Zhou Haoran had no choice but to accept it.

Lin Guiyan swiped her card and bought two cups of coffee. She said with great emotion, "Haoran, it's been a long time since we sat down and talked like this since what happened last time."

Zhou Haoran said calmly, "Just say what's on your mind."

Are you still angry?

Lin Guiyan looked at him pitifully.

Zhou Haoran was very displeased. "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Lin Guiyan whispered, "I told you before, what happened with Teacher Tang was my fault, and I really couldn't do anything about it. If you're still angry, I'll sleep with you a few times to help you cool down."

"No thanks."

Zhou Haoran wouldn't fall for the trap so easily.

Lin Guiyan sighed, "We can't get past this hurdle yet."

"Get to the point."

Zhou Haoran knew that things weren't going well for "Family Matters" lately either. The previous incident had ruined the program's reputation, and it wouldn't be easy to salvage it.

She wouldn't come here for no reason.

"Hmm..." Lin Guiyan hesitated for a while before slowly saying, "Haoran, I heard that 'Everyone's Art Up' is on track. Congratulations!"

"Ah."

"I heard there's a large sponsorship fee?"

"Correct."

"There's a sponsor called Antarctic, right?"

Lin Guiyan asked cautiously.

Zhou Haoran looked up at her and couldn't help but chuckle, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, why are you suddenly interested in 'Everyone's Art'? Don't tell me you think 'Family Matters' has no future and want to switch over here?"

“No…” Lin Guiyan waved her hands repeatedly and lowered her voice, “The schedule for ‘Everyone’s Art Up’ is mid-November, right?”

"This is the initial plan."

Zhou Haoran doesn't need to hide anything; he needs to apply to the channel in advance for his schedule and then adjust the times for other programs.

Lin Guiyan said, "What a coincidence! On the entertainment channel, a new program also launched at the same time. It's also an entertainment and performance-based program called 'Happy Family'."

"Oh."

Zhou Haoran's reaction was indifferent; he didn't take it seriously.

Lin Guiyan said with great concern, "When you're negotiating cooperation with business owners outside, you must pay attention to your approach. Those who have been in the business world for a long time are all very shrewd, so you must be careful."

Zhou Haoran chuckled: "Editor-in-Chief Lin, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Beware of attempts to sow discord!

Lin Guiyan began to admonish.

Zhou Haoran immediately understood what was going on and said with amusement, "How is this sowing discord?"

Lin Guiyan said solemnly, "Originally, the entertainment channel had already reached an agreement with Nanji Ren to sponsor 'Happy Family.' But for some reason, they changed their minds and decided to sponsor 'Everyone's Art' instead."

"It's normal for sponsors to find better projects and change their sponsorship decisions, right?"

Zhou Haoran asked back.

"From this perspective, it's normal, but I'm afraid..."

Lin Guiyan looked solemn.

Zhou Haoran asked: "What's wrong?"

Lin Guiyan whispered, "Haoran, there are some things you may not know. The power struggle within the station has been fierce lately, and it's in the process of redistributing power. I'm afraid that someone is orchestrating this, using Nanji Ren to sow discord between the Lifestyle Channel and the Entertainment Channel."

“It’s not that bad.” Zhou Haoran waved his hand. “I’ll just focus on doing a good job with the program, contacting sponsors normally, and not getting involved in anything else.” Lin Guiyan frowned and said, “But now that you’ve gotten involved, it won’t be easy for you to get out.”

Zhou Haoran said nonchalantly, "I have nothing to fear if I am upright."

Lin Guiyan suggested, "Don't get involved in a power struggle just because you're angry; it won't be good for you."

"Getting angry?" Zhou Haoran was puzzled. "What do I have to be angry about?"

Lin Guiyan rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think I don't know you? You're probably still angry about what happened with Teacher Tang. I already told you, if you're still angry, I'll sleep with you a few times. That should calm you down."

"The sponsorship fee from Antarctic is 100 million yuan. Are you going to give up this sponsor after sleeping with him a few times?" Zhou Haoran shook his head repeatedly. "You're adorned with diamonds. I can't afford to sleep with you."

"But……"

"Oh, by the way, Editor-in-Chief Lin, does Director Yi know that you wanted to sleep with me?"

"What do you think?" Lin Guiyan said reproachfully, "This is a promise I made to you privately, how can I let others know?"

Zhou Haoran said "Oh" and then said, "I've heard that big shots treat women like clothes and wives and daughters like gifts. I thought Director Yi was such a heroic figure."

"I can give you a gift privately," Lin Guiyan said, her eyes sparkling. "I'm in great shape, would you like to see?"

Zhou Haoran replied decisively, "I won't look!"

Lin Guiyan advised, "Why don't you take a look? You won't lose anything. Or should I book a hotel room?"

"Stop trying to seduce me, that trick won't work on me." Zhou Haoran stood up and said definitively, "Editor-in-Chief Lin, the sponsorship deal is finalized. I've already signed the contract with Nanji Ren. If you had told me a month earlier, I might have had a way to back out, but now it's too late."

Zhou Haoran is currently unaware of what exactly is going on with the higher-ups at Red Star TV.

Let's just watch the show for now.

First, let's make "Everyone's Art" a success.

I used to think that the reformists would be invincible, but now it seems that the conservatives are not pushovers either.

Arrived at school.

Go to the computer building.

In the coffee shop on the first floor, I saw Dongfang Lang and Zheng Shuangwen, Zhou Haoran's lab tutor.

The two chatted and laughed...

The sweet charm emanating from Zheng Shuangwen's eyes immediately alerted the experienced Zhou Haoran that something was amiss.

"Dr. Zhou!"

Upon seeing him, Zheng Shuangwen quickly composed herself.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "Teacher Zheng, are you here to buy coffee?"

"Yes, I bought these for my classmates. I'm going upstairs now."

Zheng Shuangwen carried two bags containing about a dozen cups of coffee upstairs.

Zhou Haoran glared at him and cursed, "Damn it! What are you doing?"

Dongfang Lang said smugly, "You figured it out?"

"Who taught you all this? How did you get like this?" Zhou Haoran was furious. "Do you even know that this Teacher Zheng is... You're really messing around!"

“I know, Qiao Hai told me.”

"Ok?"

"Qiao Hai said he'd fallen for Teacher Zheng. But after pursuing her for months, he still couldn't win her over. He also said that her relationship with her boyfriend from out of town was unbreakable, so he gave up. I told him that love is all nonsense, and human nature can't withstand the test. He didn't believe me, so we made a bet."

Dongfang Lang spoke with conviction.

Zhou Haoran smirked, "You two made a bet? A bet on whether Teacher Zheng will give in?"

"Yeah, easy win."

Dongfang Lang proudly raised his chin.

Zhou Haoran was surprised, "You slept with him?"

"How many times has this happened! We even went to a hotel together last night!"

Dongfang Lang shook his head, looking very smug.

Zhou Haoran then asked, "Does Qiao Hai know?"

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "I know, he lost the bet and even treated me to a meal. He... he's just too honest and lacks shrewdness... do you understand? Or should I teach you?"

"No need!"

Zhou Haoran thought to himself that this kid's skills had improved; a college student had actually managed to win over a college professor.

"She even knows about Ye Zi's affair, but she doesn't care." Dongfang Lang said, his eyebrows dancing with excitement. "How about that?"

Zhou Haoran knew that Ye Zi was his girlfriend, so he was very curious, "Teacher Zheng would agree to this? You didn't pay someone to keep her as a mistress, did you?"

Dongfang Lang curled his lip and said, "That level is too low. The secret to dealing with women is to let them know that you have money and create a long-term sense of anticipation, rather than spending a lot of money on her."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "How did you do it?"

Dongfang Lang laughed and said, "Tiger's internet cafe is opening soon!"

"Ah."

"I helped him set up this internet cafe, and I often invited Teacher Zheng Shuangwen to go with me. Over time, we became familiar with each other, and she was also captivated by my charm. That night, we went to a bar, had some drinks, and then went to a hotel."

Zhou Haoran said angrily, "You got him drunk and took advantage of him, didn't you?"

Dongfang Lang snorted, "Didn't you see it just now? She's completely devoted to me. When it comes to women, you have to..."

"Fine, fine!" Zhou Haoran wasn't interested in listening to his womanizing. "How much money did you invest in the internet cafe?"

"78, less than 80. With 80 machines in total, it should be the largest internet cafe in the whole harbor." Dongfang Lang didn't care about it. "It's just a small business. It's to give Hu Zi something to do, so he won't just idle around all day and go to massage parlors to find prostitutes. Now that he's the manager, those girls at the front desk of the internet cafe will eventually be able to find wives."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "I'll go check it out on opening day. You contact Sun Xinghuo and ask him to send a few more of his men over to prevent anyone from causing trouble."
