Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 348 Hundreds of millions in expenditures per year!
Lu Yu asked the cameraman to take close-up shots of the food, and at the same time enthusiastically introduced, "Look everyone, this breakfast is extremely sumptuous, with porridge, pizza, and steamed buns. It's a fusion of Chinese and Western flavors, which is quite unique. It seems that our Zhou Yang is truly a virtuous person."

"Haha, please try a few bites first. I don't know your taste," Zhou Yang said with a smile.

Lu Yu picked up the bowl with satisfaction, savored the porridge, and smiled broadly: "This is absolutely amazing! The taste is refreshing and pleasant, sweet but not cloying, it's so delicious!"

Then, without hesitation, Lu Yu drank the porridge in the bowl in one gulp.

Viewers watching this scene couldn't help but drool and feel envious of Lu Yu.

"Sigh, I really wish I could taste a bowl of porridge cooked by Brother Yang himself."

"Being Yang Ge's other half will definitely make me incredibly happy!"

"I would give up ten years of my idol's life for a bowl of porridge cooked by Brother Yang himself!"

"That's too harsh. The person upstairs, who is your idol? If you have a fan like that, you're really unlucky."

"Kun Kun".

"Ah, sorry to bother you, even a hundred years wouldn't be a problem..."

"..."

After breakfast, Zhou Yang drove to the company, accompanied by Lu Yu.

Inside the car, in an attempt to boost the live stream's popularity, Lu Yu suddenly asked, "Zhou Yang, looking back at the previous controversies, how did they change your career? Do you think being universally criticized online was unfair to you?"

This topic is absolutely explosive!

The live stream chat froze instantly, and the viewers all held their breath, eagerly awaiting Zhou Yang's answer.

Zhou Yang smiled slightly and said frankly, "To be honest, it had a very serious impact on my career at the time. The whole internet was attacking me, but in fact, I think it was justified."

"It's only natural?"

Lu Yu was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting Zhou Yang to make such a response.

Zhou Yang added, "Because celebrities represent the public image, they must pay attention to the impact of their behavior on society. I did say some extreme things. I can criticize others, and others can criticize me, so I think as long as it doesn't involve my parents, as a public figure, it's okay if others criticize me."

Lu Yu nodded earnestly and said, "Every celebrity may encounter these things, but there are very few people like you who dare to face everything that fame brings and actively give back to society!"

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also deeply moved by Zhou Yang's sincere words.

"Brother Yang's honesty is admirable!"

"Compared to other celebrities who always shirk responsibility when they make mistakes, or even refuse to admit it, Brother Yang is like a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry."

"Brother Yang wasn't actually wrong; it's just a difference in perspective."

"This stands in stark contrast to those celebrities who have numerous illegitimate children, who clean up their act after cheating and then make a comeback, and who continue to live a carefree life even after making mistakes."

"It can only be said that not all idols are as tolerant and kind as Zhou Yang."

"Alas, a kind person who makes a single mistake will suffer lifelong condemnation; while a wicked person who suddenly performs a good deed can receive praise from the whole world."

"I admire Brother Yang's sincerity and straightforwardness!"

Although fans felt sorry for him, Zhou Yang showed tolerance and generosity, and did not mind the topic at all.

This made Lu Yu realize that Zhou Yang was different from other celebrities.

Once other celebrities become famous, they often avoid admitting their past mistakes and scandals, or even distort the truth and shift the blame to others.

But Zhou Yang is different.

Even if you are not wrong, you can accept criticism with equanimity.

While the two were talking, the car had already arrived at the company building.

Zhou Yang, along with Lu Yu and the program crew, entered the elevator of the Shanghai World Financial Center and pressed the button for the floor where their company was located.

In the elevator, Lu Yu suddenly asked, "Zhou Yang, your company is actually in the Shanghai World Financial Center. Did you rent a small space for your office?"

It's common knowledge that the Shanghai World Financial Center is a prime location, and most companies only rent a small portion of the space for their offices. "No, that's not true," Zhou Yang casually remarked. "Our company's office space is very spacious and luxurious, occupying an entire floor, over a thousand square meters."

An entire floor?

Lu Yu's expression froze instantly. After a while, she recovered and said somewhat awkwardly, "That must cost several million."

Zhou Yang gently shook his head: "It's far more than that, with annual expenses reaching tens of millions."

"So huge!"

Lu Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and Zhou Yang led Lu Yu out of the elevator and into the company.

Inside the spacious and luxurious office space, hundreds of employees were busy at their computers, a truly impressive sight.

Wow, that's amazing!

"Brother Yang's company is so big! It's amazing!"

"This... the daily wage must be tens of thousands, right?"

"Tens of thousands? Working in the Shanghai World Financial Center, do you think you can only earn a hundred yuan a day?"

"A day's wages are at least hundreds of thousands! Tens of millions a year!"

"Holy crap, Brother Yang is amazing!"

"..."

Upon seeing Zhou Yang, passing staff members greeted him.

"Hi boss!"

"Hi boss."

"..."

Looking at the busy employees, Lu Yu asked Zhou Yang, "How much does your company spend each month? It must be quite a lot."

Zhou Yang nodded and said with a wry smile, "Yes, our monthly salary expenses are very high. In addition, we have signed more than ten artists under our management. The total expenditure is at least tens of millions every month, and hundreds of millions a year."

Lu Yu couldn't help but gasp. The annual expenditure of hundreds of millions was comparable to that of some smaller listed companies.

She had previously thought Zhou Yang's company was small, but she never expected it to be so huge!
This huge expense truly surprised Lu Yu. She frowned and asked, "With such a huge expenditure, can you still make a profit? Or is the company as a whole relying on you alone to make money and stay profitable?"

The question immediately piqued the audience's interest.

Zhou Yang smiled and pointed to the employees who were working, saying, "Don't underestimate them. The movie 'Ne Zha,' which was released this year, is their masterpiece, bringing in 11 billion yuan in profit for the company!"

"That's amazing!"

Lu Yu opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Are you talking about net profit?"

"Yes, that's net profit," Zhou Yang explained with a smile and a nod.

"This company's net profit is in the billions! It's absolutely astonishing!"

"It turns out that 'Ne Zha' was produced by the company founded by Brother Yang. That's truly admirable!"

"Billions! Even if I lived a hundred more lifetimes, I could never reach that!"

"Brother Yang earned this wealth through his abilities. If you can also promote the simultaneous prosperity of science fiction, historical war, and domestic animation, then you will also have the opportunity to obtain this wealth."

"Indeed, this is the result of Brother Yang's hard work..."

"Brother Yang is truly amazing!"

"..."
