Chapter 36: Rural Night Talk (Additional Chapter, Seeking Recommendations)

  Guo Xiaoyu, who slept all the way on the plane, was still yawning when getting off the plane, which made Hong Tao complain: "You've been sleeping all the way, how can you still not get enough sleep? Even pigs aren't as good at sleeping as you."

  "You don't understand." Guo Xiaoyu shook her finger and said, "Man is iron, sleep is steel, one night without sleep makes me dizzy!"

  "What kind of twisted logic is this? You've taken a perfectly good joke and turned it into a mess." Hong Tao looked at Guo Xiaoyu with some exasperation. If anyone else had been as lazy as Guo Xiaoyu, he would have lost his temper long ago. But facing the incredibly talented Guo Xiaoyu in front of him, Hong Tao just couldn't bring himself to get angry. All he felt was regret.

  Facing Hong Tao's complaints, Guo Xiaoyu said carelessly: "Alright, alright, let's hurry to Lingshui Village. If we go early, I can still sleep a bit more."

  "Ah, you..." Hong Tao really didn't know what else to say to him, so he simply instructed his assistant to bring the car over.

  As soon as he got on the bus, Guo Xiaoyu fell asleep and specifically instructed anyone not to wake him up.

  The car drove for a while, and slowly entered the rural road. The bumpy places also increased, and the car became extremely bumpy. When passing over a big pothole, Guo Xiaoyu was brought by inertia, and his head hit the top of the car all at once.

  "Ow..." This one really hurt, a big lump had grown on Guo Xiaoyu's head.

  "Hahaha..." Hong Tao, who was watching from the side, burst out laughing: "You're going to sleep now!"

  "It's none of your business." Guo Xiaoyu said after turning her head to gaze out the window.

  It's already nighttime, the bright moon, the starry sky with countless stars, and the gently swaying rice ears form a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Guo Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim: "How beautiful!"

  "Yes." Hong Tao also said: "The most beautiful scenery is in the countryside!"

  "Wow, Uncle Hong can still recite great poems."

  "Get out." Although Hong Tao didn't know what Guo Xiaoyu meant, he could tell from his sly smile that nothing good was going to come of it.

  "Whatever, I'm out of here." With that, Guo Xiaoyu went back to gazing at the scenery outside the window.

  After a while, Hong Tao asked: "Xiaoyu, how did you come up with this program idea?"

  No answer, Hong Tao asked again.

  Still no response, Hong Tao raised his voice and shouted: "Guo Xiaoyu."

  "It's gone too far, can't hear."

  Hearing Guo Xiaoyu's response, Hong Tao was so angry that he couldn't help but say, "Get back here!"

  "Received." Guo Xiaoyu turned his head, cleared his throat and said: "How did I think of this program? Uncle Hong asked a good question! This question is simply a classic! As for how I thought of it, let's start from Pangu opening the sky...

  "What did you say?"

  Looking at Hong Tao's "you dare to waste words, try it" expression, Guo Xiaoyu wisely said: "As I recall, my dad's show was going to be cancelled back then, so I came up with this show."

  "That's it."

  "It's that simple." Guo Xiaoyu paused and continued, "Uncle Hong, you've worked with my dad for so many years, you also know his abilities. But why is he becoming more and more dissatisfied? I don't think it's just because he's too kind-hearted, right?"

  When Guo Xiaoyu asked this, Hong Tao was stunned for a moment. After a while, he said in a somewhat low voice: "We are all just directors, we are all ordinary employees of the TV station, and we can only do our own things."

  "But my dad is not their sacrifice!" Guo Xiaoyu's angry roar stunned Hongtao and his assistant, who was driving.

  "Hmm..." Hong Tao let out a deep sigh and said, "Xiao Yu, your father and I are both directors, just directors!"

  "Right! It's just a director." After saying this, Guo Xiaoyu felt like he had lost a huge burden, and his tense body relaxed all at once.

  After Guo's father's show was taken off the air, Guo Xiaoyu learned about the current situation of the TV station from various aspects. Although the TV station is now hosted by Lü Bin, in fact, Lü Bin only represents one side. The TV station can be said to have three forces: Lü Bin and his people are one faction; Bai Yan and his people who find fault with Guo Xiaoyu's program are another faction; and finally, there is the neutral faction represented by Zhang Li. However, among these three factions, there is a group of special people who do not belong to any faction. They are the personnel left over from the previous generation of TV station leaders. All three factions in the TV station have excluded them, but they still exist. Most of these people are old men now, so why did Guo's father get involved? This has to start with Guo Xiaoyu's grandfather, Guo's father.

  Guo Xiaoyu's grandfather was one of the representatives of the old generation in the TV station, and at that time, he was also a figure who dominated the TV station. After his retirement, he let his son enter the TV station. Now, such a situation, the old man had also guessed it, so before the previous leader stepped down, the old man asked Guo's father to give Lv Bin a letter of introduction. Originally, the old man thought that with his own face and Lv's support, Guo's father would not have any problems. But who knew that after this generation's leader took office, he cut off most of the people from the previous generation with a big knife, if it weren't for Lv's support, Guo's father would now find it very difficult to work in the TV station.

  In this way, Guo Baba lingered in the TV station for one year after another. He wasn't someone who hadn't thought of jumping ship, but before he achieved any results, changing to a new environment would only make things worse, so Guo Baba is still here today.

  The car fell silent for a moment.

  After a while, Hong Tao asked again: "Xiao Yu, I heard Director Lü say that it was you who wanted me to be the producer of this program, why?"

  "That goes without saying." Guo Xiaoyu also knew that the power struggle at the top of the TV station was not something they could participate in, and earlier he was just venting his own discontent. At this time, hearing Hong Tao ask himself, Guo Xiaoyu naturally said: "With Uncle Hong being so powerful and wise, who else would be chosen?"

  "Stop talking nonsense."

  "Hehe..." Guo Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I thought Uncle Hong was very suitable at the time, and from what my dad told me, Uncle Hong is indeed capable. My dad also thinks that Uncle Hong is the most suitable."

  "Aren't you afraid I won't agree?"

  "I'm not afraid." Guo Xiaoyu said confidently: "I am very confident in my program, and I am also very confident in Uncle Hong's vision."

  "Hey, you little scamp..." Hong Tao pointed at Xiao Yu's head and laughed, saying: "Old Guo and Li Yun are such honest people, how did they give birth to a sly and cunning kid like you?" Li Yun is Xiao Yu's mother.

  "There's no way." Guo Xiaoyu shook his head, with a smug expression, saying: "Intelligence is innate, there's nothing you can do about it. People who are born handsome are just at a disadvantage."

  Looking at Guo Xiaoyu's pitiful appearance, Hong Tao could only try his best not to look at him.

  Time slowly passed by, and at a little past one in the morning, Guo Xiaoyu and his group finally arrived at Lingshui Village.

  Hong Tao got off the car and looked around in a circle, couldn't help but praise: "This is really a good place."

  "What's good, what's good." Guo Xiaoyu rubbed his arm behind Hong Tao and said: "It's dark and gloomy, Uncle Hong, let's hurry up and go to sleep, okay?" As he spoke, Guo Xiaoyu walked towards the village.

  "You little stinker, all you know is sleep." Hong Tao joked and scolded, quickly following up, but Guo Xiaoyu didn't know where he was sleeping.
