The Variety Department Manager sneered.

"Hey, Lao Li, this is not your first day in this business. KuKu Music is a long-standing sponsor of our company, and it has invested in more than just the show "Tomorrow's Son".

Many of our programs require his continued investment, and new programs also need their support.

Director Jiang had to talk to Director Qiu yesterday and he finally agreed not to withdraw funding for the remaining programs.

Do you think the company would offend major sponsors for a show like yours?"

He and Li You have never gotten along.

From the very beginning, he couldn't stand Li You's sloppy appearance, but his leader didn't blame him.

He is the manager of the variety show department, but Li You is an employee of the company and repeatedly questions the orders he gives.

During this period, the ratings of "The Next Generation of Idols" have been high, and Li You has become less and less interested in his manager.

Of course he would not let go of this opportunity to warn Li You.

Li You's face looked ugly.

Can't Cool Music see the current ratings of "Tomorrow's Son"?

I don’t believe they would be willing to throw away such a big piece of cake.

He just saw that our program is currently the only title sponsor and we have no competitors, so he deliberately used this method to threaten us.

If our program had other sponsors, do you think he would dare to speak up?

Lao Li, what you said is a bit naive. It’s true that the ratings of "The Next Generation of Idols" this season are high. Not only high, but also ridiculously high. That’s why they want to sign Zhang Che!

But look at the ratings for the previous two seasons?

Zhang Che can't stay in this show forever, right?

Why should others continue to invest in you just because you did a good job this season? Besides, Cool Music is not short of money.

Maybe they don't care about the money and just want to vent their anger.

He's just Zhang Che. In my opinion, we should eliminate him if necessary, and then call Lu Chenyi back. He has enough traffic, and there are sponsors willing to support him, so we can make some quick money.

You are the one who is short-sighted when you bet everything on Zhang Che.

Director Ding, I didn’t lie to you before, I guess, it’s very difficult to be the manager of the variety show department.”

The manager of the variety show department spread his hands and looked helpless.

Li You placed his hands under the table and clenched his fists in frustration.

"Okay, just say less." Director Jiang glared at the manager of the variety show department.

"Old Li, I actually have the same idea as you, I don't want to eliminate Zhang Che at all.

Think about it from the company's perspective. Zhang Che has brought us such high traffic now. Would the company be willing to abandon him?

But the problem is that KuKu Music is our partner, and we have to pay attention to it.

Think about it, if there are no sponsors, how will the program be funded?

I called you here today because I want to discuss a win-win solution together.

Now the ratings of "The Next Generation of Idols" are the highest in the world!

I don't think Cool Music will really withdraw its investment. The most likely reason is that they want to use this trick to threaten us to work with Zhang Che.

We must at least save our face, keep Zhang Che, and give an explanation to KuKu Music."

"How can I save face by pretending to persuade them?"

"That's definitely not possible. In the next live broadcast, you should find a way to make Zhang Che face the risk of elimination. If Zhang Che still doesn't agree, I will go and negotiate with KuKu Music."

Li You gritted his teeth and said, "I understand now. Even if the negotiation is successful, Zhang Che can't be the champion of this season's "The Coming One", right?"

The manager of the variety show department laughed. "Isn't that nonsense? He has offended the sponsor, so it's good enough that he can stay. He still wants to be the champion? Do you really think you are an endangered species of the country?"

Director Jiang patted Li You on the shoulder.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Go and do his work first. Maybe there will be a turnaround. I will continue to negotiate with Cool Music."

Li You took a deep breath and nodded silently.

He is very clear that he treats "The Next Generation of Idols" as his own child and values ​​the show's ratings more than anything else.

But the company doesn't think so.

As long as "The Coming One" can make money for the company, the company is willing to support it.

But once "The Next Top Banger" poses a threat to the company, the company will abandon the show immediately.

Besides, he was just a contestant, so what could Zhang Che do? Even if the king of heaven came, he couldn't pass this level.

After leaving the conference room.

The manager of the variety show department looked at Li You sideways.

"Old Li, I say, just do as the director says. Even if Zhang Che doesn't win the championship, what does that matter?

As long as we keep him until the last period, we can make a fortune. Wouldn't it be easy for you, Mr. Li, to get promoted and get a raise?

As for netizens, let them curse. This show has lasted for four episodes anyway.

At least the last season was in your hands, and it created a historical record, enough for you to brag about for the rest of your life!

Unless you go find other sponsors.

However, your next live broadcast has caused quite a stir in the industry, and it’s a bit of a stretch at this juncture.”

Li You glanced at him indifferently, turned and left.

This place is really disappointing...

......

7 p.m.

As soon as Zhang Che came out of the practice room, he headed straight to Lao Li's barbecue restaurant nearby.

"Old Four! Over here!"

"Old Four!"

As soon as he entered the store, Yan Bo and Li Shaojun appeared from behind a screen and called him with a smile.

Zhang Che's eyes lit up slightly, and he walked over quickly.

There was no screen in the store before. I guess Mr. Li added one temporarily for his convenience.

Behind the screen was a table for two. In addition to Yan Bo and Li Shaojun, Chen Ming and Zhong Lei were sitting at the table.

"Xiao Zhang, long time no see." Chen Ming said with a smile.

Zhong Lei grinned and raised his glass towards Zhang Che: "You're late, drink a glass as punishment!"

"Hahaha, Brother Lei, I have a recording session the day after tomorrow, so I won't drink. Make me pay for today!"

After saying that, Zhang Che took off his coat and sat down with a smile.

In the afternoon, he was in his personal practice room, video chatting with Cheng Xi, studying his courses.

As soon as the video call ended, he saw the message from Li Shaojun saying that Chen Ming and others had arrived. He didn't even have time to change his clothes and rushed over directly.

Chen Minggang clinked glasses with Li Shaojun, grinning: "Okay, then let's kill some rich dogs today!"

Zhang Che took a sip of water and said with a smile, "What a tycoon! It's enough to make some money to support yourself. It's not that easy to make a fortune!

I should have treated you guys to a meal a long time ago, Brother Chen, Brother Lei, why are only the two of you here this time?"

"Tianxin and Xiaofeng went to buy some liquor. They'll be here soon." Zhonglei chewed a skewer of beef and looked outside the screen. "Look, they're coming."

After standing successfully, he turned his head and saw Qi Tianxin and a man in his early thirties walking towards him.
