At Muyao TV, the head TV director’s angry voice was coming from the conference room.

“What the hell are you guys doing? Why did a talented genius like Li Jianyu resign?! Why is there a new director on the variety show HE submitted?!”

The others looked at each other in dismay, clueless on what to say.

Everyone was clear on what had happened. It was nothing more than a faction dispute. Everyone else had picked sides, but only Li Jianyu refused to choose a side. Hence, he had been rectified and had his variety show given to Director Chen.

But who would have guessed that Li Jianyu would be so cunning that he could actually convince Shi Sui to participate in a variety show!

The head TV director had not bothered to acknowledge Li Jianyu before at all, but all of a sudden, he’s now a ‘talented genius’ in his eyes.

“Ah, head director, this matter has already been resolved. Instead of being entangled in this, we should think about how to bring the spotlight back onto our new variety show.” The bald guy from upper management who had forced Li Jianyu to leave said this with a smile.

The head director frowned. “Speak, what are you planning to do?”

“Li Jianyu made this “Two Under One Roof” variety show with Shi Sui and Xiang Yi being the only resident guests. Although Shi Sui is popular, this Xiang Yi is nothing but an eighteenth-tier idol. In addition, I’ve investigated and found that all the fly-in guests they have scheduled are all B-tier and C-tier artists as well as some washed out people from the industry...”

“Get to the point.”

“Okay, okay.” The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and began to speak in an accelerated tone. “Our show, “Heartbeat”, is totally capable of targeting their new variety show. Isn’t it just a livestream variety show? We can do it, too! And we can release before them as well!”

“Besides, our resources are far more abundant compared to them. We could invite some trending idols or artists with lots of discussion topics.”

“This way, our “Heartbeat” will be impressive throughout, while there is nothing else to look forward to in “Two Under One Roof” except for Shi Sui. Over time, our viewers will go up while theirs decline; we’ll fight fire with fire. In the end, the superior popularity and TV ratings will be ours!”

Director Chen echoed him, “Yes, yes; their small scale web variety show? How can it compare to our network’s prowess in variety shows? We can adopt their mode of livestream, edit the material into a feature film in a later stage, and then play it on the weekend during prime time. We’ll ride the trending wave of livestream variety shows, take advantage of its exposure, and reap benefits!”

The deputy head was a career-oriented woman, dressed in an exquisite functional suit. She frowned at this. “This is not quite appropriate. After all, the livestream variety show format was proposed by them first.”

The bald man retorted. “So what? If they discovered food first, does that mean the rest of us can’t ask to eat?”

The deputy head chuckled coldly. “Begging is more like it.”

“Hey, that’s going overboard, you’re making a personal attack!”

Seeing the two parties erupt into a quarrel, the head director said in a deep steady voice. “That’s enough. We’ll do as you said. The network will give you the green light. You better get the variety show, “Heartbeat”, running as soon as possible!”

The Muyao TV network was notoriously rich and powerful with incredible efficiency. In less than three days, the announcement was posted to Weibo.
