Anyway, the little bit of heat that General Manager Zhang casually spills is enough to support two groups. Zhao Xinyue has been personally selected by His Majesty to participate in the program, so she should work even harder to repay His Majesty!
Zhao Xinyue, who is already sick of listening to "Locking Five Dragons" and whose singing is almost off-key: Do you want this blessing?
The protests were relayed back to the company's top management, eventually reaching the highest levels of authority—even if Xiao Zhang pretended to be dead, he couldn't escape this calamity. The project manager strongly demanded that Xiao Zhang personally step in to quell the incident!
After all, in the "Shining Stage" super topic, the "[Xiao Zhang Zong's Talent Show Girl Appreciation Building]" has actually reached more than 200,000 floors!
Your Majesty, I beg you, either hold a grand selection for the harem, or quickly send all the selected women out of the palace!
There's really no room left in the palace!
What's most despicable about this thread is that it was actually forwarded to him by Cheng Jixue!
He was so embarrassed that he dug his toes out of an office building—he said that his employees' expressions had been strange lately!
Is your mind filled with nothing but work?!
Of course, General Manager Zhang hasn't been idle lately either. He instructed Assistant Jiang to recruit and scout out talent for various positions.
Previously, he only targeted those directly involved in the company's business, swiftly eliminating the cancerous figures Du Ze and Xu Shen. This time, he has extended his reach even further to other members of the company's management.
For example, the project team leader who had launched into a scathing attack in front of General Manager Zhang a few days ago was dismissed.
However, there were also some outrageous things, such as the fact that the newly recruited department head in charge of the company's investment and operations was actually He Guangyin?!
Zhang Chaohe was greatly shocked at the time, but after seeing the other party's excellent resume and business achievements, he couldn't help but fall silent.
As expected, all the outstanding CEOs are destined to experience a moment of intellectual decline.
He Guangyin looked much more mature and composed after just a few days apart. His once chubby face had lost some of its cute baby fat due to extreme weight loss, and now had more of the sharp features of a mature man.
He said he had forgiven Bai Chen and taken back all the preferential treatment and resources Bai Chen had given him. He said that once the filming of this drama was finished, He Guangyin would completely blacklist him.
It might even strip the Peking Opera stage from Bai Chen's life as well.
In a short time, the company's parasites who had previously been slacking off and messing around were all fired, and new talents entered Jiasheng. After the old and damaged machine was completely updated and upgraded, it was finally put back into operation with a brand new look!
Zhang Chaohe kept his achievements and fame hidden, as if he could see countless glittering coins flowing into his pocket.
This feels so good—who doesn't love the pleasant sound of money?
Zhang Chaohe, you must always remember this! A wise person doesn't fall in love, lest a victim repeat the same mistakes; I raise my geese to build a beautiful motherland!

After the low-budget self-produced variety show "Shining Stage" became a hit, it quickly rose from being able to dominate the top three of the trending charts to being able to consistently hold the number one spot.
Moreover, it must be said that Jiasheng officials were quite cunning – they removed the recruitment and talent show tags from the label and quietly extended the live broadcast duration. After all, after Zhao Xinyue raised a protest, the guest seats were changed from fixed to rotating.
Capitalist Xiao Zhang: Nobody's getting away! Everyone, get to work!
With this added advantage, "Shining Stage" crushed other variety shows on the same channel, and the Jiasheng team made a killing, raking in a huge sum of money – after all, why not ride on their boss's popularity!
Of course, the grand petition event also received the approval of Mr. Zhang. In order to repay the enthusiastic support of the audience who spent money, Mr. Zhang personally sold his precious soul and chose to compromise and go on stage to perform.
There was no prior notice from Gain Capital when Mr. Zhang made his personal visit.
So when contestant number 1 walked onto the stage unremarkably, picked up the microphone, and prepared to start his stunt performance, he loudly proclaimed, "Esteemed judges—uh??"
Zhao Xinyue wasn't the only judge on the panel today! There was a man sitting next to her, a cool and aloof man in his signature suit with slicked-back hair and sharp eyes... He was currently looking at her expressionlessly with his arms crossed.
The contestant, in a daze, pinched his thigh.
Zhang Chaohe found his reaction amusing, but in order to maintain his CEO persona, he gracefully and calmly turned the microphone over and asked, "What is 'old uh'?"
Since you're forcing me to work, then let's all just give up!
Let's make sure no one survives today!
The live stream chat exploded!
Am I still half asleep?
[Mr. Zhang has suddenly appeared without a shirt? The official channels didn't even give a heads-up?!]
[Help! My match is tomorrow! The athletes today are so lucky! (uses oxygen)]
[Someone in the group, please call for more people!!]
In an instant, millions of wives and mothers flocked to the live stream, even causing network congestion!
It's hilarious, so hilarious! Ever since Mr. Zhang started raising the goose, Caiye, his style has gone completely off track. He's gone from being the universally recognized aloof and wild national alpha male lead to a sharp-tongued, vengeful, silly little wolfish male lead!
"Don't sing love songs to me if you're not good-looking."
"No one under 1.8 meters tall is allowed to confess their feelings to me."
"I don't like men, and I don't like women either."
"Next."
In the blink of an eye, countless suitors were ruthlessly crushed by Zhang Chaohe, leaving them all defeated. However, a few, undeterred by setbacks, cunningly lured Zhang Chaohe in with the guise of a legitimate election campaign—
"Next, I will perform a traditional Peking Opera piece called 'Locking the Five Dragons' - Cursing Xu Shen... Ah, no! I mean cursing Luo Cheng!"
Then, shamelessly adding a dramatic line at the very end: "The body has nowhere to be buried... but I'm willing to be buried in Mr. Zhang's arms!"
Xiao Zhang sneered—strangely, although he was sneering, no one sensed any malice in him: "You have to pay to bury yourself in my arms!"
【ah??】
"I have money, let me go first!"
[Zhang Da'e, hurry up and send the QR code, don't force me to beg you!!]
Zhao Xinyue finally understood why she still had to rely on online trolls and data workers to barely maintain her status as a top influencer...
There's a real barrier between her and mental illness.
She and a top-tier psychopath who is occasionally kind and upright are separated by a barrier as thick as a galaxy!
While Zhang Chaohe was outwitting the contestants, he also secretly kept an eye on Caiye's natural growth. Through the monitoring, he could see that Caiye was in good spirits and was happily munching on the legs of his sofa...
I'm so annoyed, but I can't really stew the vegetable leaves...
He was distracted down there, and the contestant on stage, who had genuinely wanted to compete, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and started singing "The Boatman's Love" with great gusto, despite the accompaniment of a sentimental English song!
"Young Master Zhang, you sit at the bow of the boat, and your younger brother walks on the shore!"
"Love and affection sway gently on the rope!"
Zhang Chaohe looked up from his anger as his goose gnawed at the sofa leg: ...
Bullet comments:
[I saw it! I'm reporting it! Zhang Baiwan is secretly using his phone!]
[This contestant successfully sang a love song; she's definitely going to be chosen!]
[One concubine will be appointed!]
Zhao Xinyue, who was actually secretly playing on her phone downstairs, thought: He was just watching his goose!
A note from the author:
Zhang Da'e: You're not allowed to sing love songs to me if you're not good-looking, and you're not allowed to confess your feelings to me if you're not 1.8 meters tall. I don't like men, and I don't like women either.

Let me see who's persecuting me this time!
Are you guys devils?! [Gritting teeth, cat emoji]
Chapter 33
Under Mr. Zhang's relentless bombardment, today's "Shining Stage" competition achieved a complete victory with no survivors.
Weibo was filled with lamentations, with many strongly demanding that Mr. Zhang stay away from his fans' lives and never come to the audition site again.
Zhang Chaohe: ?
Didn't you send me?
Driven by revenge, Zhang Chaohe deliberately posted candid photos of himself at an event today on Weibo—he was sitting there like a salted fish spitting out bones, while Zhao Xinyue next to him looked utterly hopeless, like a Tibetan fox who had given up on life.
[Haha, a world-famous painting, "The Goose and the Tibetan Fox"!]
[You came very well today, but could you please not come tomorrow?]
[(Dancing) Back! (Dancing) Back!]
Zhang Chaohe thought to himself, "I haven't had time to come these past few days, even if you begged me." The costume fitting photo shoot schedule for the TV series "Zan Ying" is here. Recently, after careful consideration, Mr. Zhang, who decided to take on the role of "General Gu," also has a filming assignment.
Chen Xingting now practically worships Cheng Jixue—what kind of deity is this? Not only did he manage to win over the TV King to play the male lead, but he also managed to persuade Boss Zhang!
Is this the power of the Empress?
Of course, he didn't consider that this might be due to the power of Mr. Zhang's money...
Zhang Chaohe also fulfilled his dream and made an appointment with Cheng Jixue to walk geese together!
The combination of "kitchen waste" is surprisingly harmonious, perhaps because the melon rind is more docile and the vegetable leaves have no reason to be pecked at.
However, there is also a very troublesome thing - Zhang Chaohe became an unexpected internet sensation for his act of bravery in leading a goose some time ago. Everyone knows that Mr. Zhang loves geese, so when Caiye appeared, Mr. Zhang's identity was immediately exposed!
Fortunately, most of the fans were young people. They were very aggressive online, but relatively shy in real life. Most of them just said hello, took a picture, and then left.
Only one young man stood not far away, solemnly clasping his hands together and respectfully bowing to Zhang Chaohe.
Cheng Jixue: "Pfft."
Zhang Chaohe: Young man, you won't get rich by worshipping me, but you might get rich by worshipping Mr. Zhang Fulin.
Unable to bear the harassment any longer, Zhang Chaohe looked down at the vegetable leaves and melon rinds that were prying at the grass by the roadside and enthusiastically suggested, "Why don't you walk the vegetable leaves and I'll walk the melon rinds? That way they'll just think you're an ordinary person who's following the trend of raising geese."
Cheng Jixue let him do as he pleased, and said with a half-smile, "I'll do whatever you say."
Zhang Chaohe also forbade Cheng Jixue from wearing a mask, deliberately throwing him out to attract attention.
Cheng Jixue swaggered along, holding Caiye's hand. Before she had taken two steps, a little girl carrying an ice cream suddenly came up in front of her: "Wow, isn't this Xiao Cheng?"
Then she glanced at the goose on the ground, and then at the handsome guy in a black mask who was dressed quite like a motorcycle today, and naturally greeted him, "Hey, Mr. Zhang, why are you wearing a mask?"
