Chapter 34 - Failure and Returning to Inherit the Family Business

Jiang Hao looked helpless, "There's nothing I can do. I'm bankrupt, penniless and homeless now. I'm afraid I'll have to sleep on the street tonight. Beauty, can you lend me some money so I can stay in a hotel?"

She couldn't bear to give few thousand yuan. Her monthly salary was only more than 6,000 yuan.

Zhen Xiaoqiu hesitated and said, "How about you go to my house for one night?"

"Okay."

Jiang Hao agreed immediately.

Seeing Jiang Hao agree so quickly, Zhen Xiaoqiu suddenly regretted it. Was she inviting a wolf into the house?

"I'm telling you, don't have any other ideas. I just feel sorry for you, and for the new show. If this show doesn't work, hum, I'll kick you out immediately, understand." Zhen Xiaoqiu said angrily.

"Also, my place is not big, there is only one bedroom, you can only sleep on the sofa." Zhen Xiaoqiu said.

"OK, no problem."

The two came to Zhen Xiaoqiu's home, a relatively new accommodation building, about 30 to 40 square feet, and the decoration is pretty good. Hong Kong houses are generally small, 300 to 400 square feet can accommodate a family or one person, it seems that this girl is in good condition.

Jiang Hao looked around, "Your place is not bad."

Zhen Xiaoqiu pointed to the sofa, "You sleep here, I warn you, don't have any unreasonable thoughts, if you dare to sneak in at night," as she picked up a baseball bat from the side, swung it twice, and said viciously: "I am very fierce."

"Don't worry, beauty, I am not interested in girls with glasses." Jiang Hao said.

"Humph!"

Zhen Xiaoqiu snorted angrily, turned back to the room, slammed the door, and locked it with a click.

Jiang Hao shook his head and smiled.

It seems that this female reporter is quite cute and simple. She actually took him home. Lying on the sofa, Jiang Hao thought about his own things.

Stephen Zhou's current situation can be said to be very difficult. His company went bankrupt and his reputation was rotten. It is basically impossible for him to turn over. Apart from third-rate cooking skills, he can't do anything.

As for Jiang Hao, although he has 20 years of experience beyond this era, it is also very difficult for him to rise quickly.

Just when this silly female reporter was chasing him, he suddenly thought of that idea.

Make a show!

In his time, all kinds of shows were rampant. He could use the title of "God of Cookery" to attract attention. A bad reputation is not necessarily a disadvantage. In modern society, all kinds of ugly things are emerging in an endless stream. There is still a market. The most important thing is to be topical.

The next morning, the girl with glasses quietly opened the door and looked outside. She found that there was no one on the sofa.

"Hey, where is he? Did he leave?"

Zhen Xiaoqiu scratched her fluffy hair, walked to the bedroom in slippers and pajamas, took a shower in the bathroom, and just came out to change clothes when she heard the door open.

It turned out to be Jiang Hao who opened the door .

"Hey, where have you been?" Zhen Xiaoqiu asked.

Jiang Hao lifted the bag in his hand, "I went going to buy breakfast, rice porridge, barbecued pork buns, and siu mai."

At the dining table in the living room, the two of them were eating breakfast. Zhen Xiaoqiu couldn't help but glance at Jiang Hao. Now it seems that this guy is not so bad.

After breakfast, Zhen Xiaoqiu picked up her bag and prepared to go out. She stopped halfway and said to Jiang Hao:

"Hey, you wait here. I'll go to the TV station to ask my boss for advice. But I warn you, don't touch anything, understand? Also, you can't enter my room, let alone touch my underwear."

"Hmph, who knows if the program will be successful, it's your luck. If it's not, you can sleep on the street afterwards." Zhen Xiaoqiu slammed the door and left.

Zhen Xiaoqiu came to ATV and didn't go to her supervisor. She was a reporter in the news department. It would be useless to talk to her supervisor. Food Roast was a variety show. She knocked on the deputy director's door directly.

"Come in." A deep male voice sounded.

Zhen Xiaoqiu pushed the door open and went in. A slightly fat man in his forties was sitting in the main seat. He was wearing a pair of glasses and was looking down at a document.

"Deputy Director Liu, I have something to report to you." Zhen Xiaoqiu said as he stood in front of the table.

Deputy Director Liu looked up at Zhen Xiaoqiu, then lowered his head, "What's the matter?"

"I thought of a variety show, a food variety show, it will definitely be a big hit, I hope to be able to do this show." Zhen Xiaoqiu said excitedly.

Deputy Director Liu said without even looking up, "We have food variety shows on our TV station, but they are all broadcasted at the worst time as a supplementary program. What confidence do you have that your program will be a hit?"

Zhen Xiaoqiu took two steps forward and said, "You don't know who I found, the God of Cookery, Stephen Chow. I want to make a food satire variety show and let Stephen Chow host the show. The former God of Cookery will be sharp-tongued and will have a fight with the chef of a big hotel. It will definitely be entertaining. The dishes will be photographed beautifully, so it's worth watching. Stephen Chow just went bankrupt and was pulled down from the altar, so it's worth talking about."

"It's worth watching, entertaining, and worth talking about. This show will definitely be a hit."

Deputy Director Liu finally looked up and looked at Zhen Xiaoqiu, "Stephen Chow, is that the God of Cookery whose restaurant was closed down because he used inferior beef? He has a very bad reputation now."

"Topicality, as long as there is topicality, it can attract audiences. This is one of the successful elements for a show to be popular." Zhen Xiaoqiu said excitedly.

Deputy Director Liu looked at her and poured a basin of cold water on her. "A food program may not be popular. Besides, if we complain about the major restaurants, those restaurants will hate our TV station. It's better not to do such a program."

"Okay, go out and get this idea out of ur mind." Deputy Director Liu waved his hand.

Zhen Xiaoqiu looked at Deputy Director Liu angrily, puffing up her face.

"Uncle~~"

Deputy Director Liu took off his glasses and rubbed his forehead. As long as Xiaoqiu calls him uncle, he becomes helpless.

"Xiaoqiu, it's not that uncle doesn't help you. Your mother has told you several times to work in your own company, but you just like to hang out in the TV station. Isn't it good to accept the family business? You are the only daughter in your family. Those businesses will be yours sooner or later. You have to get involved earlier." Deputy Director Liu said earnestly.

"I studied media and I like this industry." Zhen Xiaoqiu said with a pout.

"Uncle, I promise this show will be a hit, just believe me." Zhen Xiaoqiu walked to Deputy Director Liu and shook his arm.

Deputy Director Liu was helpless, "Okay, okay, stop shaking me. I'll give you one chance, but there are conditions. If you fail this time, you'll just go back to work at your company and stop thinking about making any TV shows, okay?"

"Uncle, how could you do this?" The girl with glasses was angry.
