This program really started to become popular when the humorous and well-spoken history professor was hired for the second episode. Although Li Wei was just a host and more often acted as an ordinary audience member in front of the TV, Her step-by-step guidance, coupled with her own poetic temperament and understanding of that dynasty in history, made this program very popular as soon as it was aired.
The popularization of historical knowledge and the concrete presentation of civilization of that era. Understanding of some historical events and cultural contact. It turns out that China once had such splendor and grandeur.
As soon as this episode aired, word-of-mouth about this program exploded on the Internet. Although the ratings are still far behind those of the popular entertainment programs, it is good enough as a cultural talk show. Apart from the history professor, Li Wei is also famous.
Li Wei graduated in 1998, and it has been almost six years since 2004. After six years of hard work in this industry, I finally tasted the taste of red. The Internet calls her a new goddess with both beauty and wisdom. Several major portal websites had their own relevant reports, which made her very embarrassed.
Ning Zhi said to Li Wei privately: "It's not easy for you. After joining our TV station for many years, you have finally made your mark. I hope you can use this shareholder style to completely enter the front-line hosting."
Li smiled and said: "Everyone praises me so much. I can see clearly how much I weigh."
"Don't belittle yourself. Your private efforts are obvious to all. When everyone can only see your glory, only a few of us know how much you have put in behind the scenes. The boss said that we will rush to release a program the day after tomorrow. You can go home for the New Year. How long have you been home for the New Year?”
Li Wei said: "It must have been a few years ago. It was too late to have a show before."
"By the way, I remember you seemed to have hosted the Spring Festival Gala one year back then. Why didn't you become famous then?"
"I took a few months off due to illness, and I didn't have a good time. So sometimes timing is more important."
Ning Zhi smiled and agreed: "That's true."
After the second episode of the program became popular, advertisers also took the initiative to contact the column team. Wu Ming took over this matter, and naturally hoped to implement it satisfactorily. After all, the New Year was coming soon, and if he couldn't do this well, he wouldn't be able to spend the New Year with peace of mind.
"Well, okay, tomorrow night at seven o'clock, the East Restaurant of Joy Hotel..." Wu Ming held the phone in one hand and listened carefully to the location and time set by the other party, and also included a small suggestion. Wu Ming was slightly taken aback by this suggestion. He raised his head and glanced at Li Wei who was busy over there, and then nodded and said, "I assure you, she will definitely attend."
Wu Ming hung up the phone and wrote down something seriously on his work paper.
"Li Wei, come here!"
Li Wei looked up and saw the supervisor waving to her, then put down what he was holding and walked over.
"What's the leader's order?" Li Wei looked respectful and waited quietly for Wu Ming to speak.
"There is a dinner party tomorrow night. You can go with me."
"Is it just us?"
Wu Ming nodded and said: "Yes, an advertiser we are in contact with invites you to dinner and requires you to be present. It is all for work and the future of our column, so it is a necessary social event."
Li Wei said: "I understand, I will definitely prepare well. Do you need to wear formal clothes?"
Wu Ming smiled and said, "It's just a matter of having dinner. You don't have to be so serious. You can make up your own mind."
She has also participated in some social events since joining the industry, so she knows what to do.
Ning Zhi heard the supervisor's arrangements, and when Li Wei came back, she asked her in a low voice: "Are you going to eat?"
"Well, I can't refuse the necessary entertainment."
"Hey, it's like this in any profession. If you can block the wine, just block it. Don't force yourself too much."
Li smiled and said: "I know it well."
The next day came in a blink of an eye. Li Wei left half an hour early. She told her supervisor that she would drive to the hotel.
Women always have to tidy up when they go out, let alone a formal occasion. Wu Ming did not embarrass Li Wei. He nodded and said, "Okay, but everything must be done first. We will try our best to satisfy the other party's requirements."
Li Wei agreed and said yes.
She returned to the rented place, changed her clothes, combed her hair again, and was opening the powder box and taking out the powder puff to touch up her makeup when her cell phone rang. She opened the flip phone and took a look, only to see that it was Li Jianbo calling. Yes, he answered the call without hesitation.
"Are you off work?"
"Well, it's already down."
Li Jianbo then said: "Then let's have a meal together tonight. I'll drive over to find you. You should be there in half an hour."
"Second brother, I'm sorry. I have a party tonight, let's wait for another day." Li Wei said sincerely.
But Li Jianbo sounded like an excuse to refuse. After a few seconds, he said again: "Do you still want to avoid me? Do you really plan to avoid me for the rest of your life?"
Li Wei smiled helplessly and said: "Second brother, I'm really not trying to hide from you, but I do have a social event. Advertisers treat me to dinner. Our boss attaches great importance to this matter. The column still lacks a sponsor and needs a sum of money. Otherwise, I’m afraid it will be shut down due to funding issues within a few episodes of its launch.”
Her tone seemed to be true and not an excuse, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, let's meet up another day. Don't forget that you had a stomach bug before, don't be pushy, don't drink too much, you know? ?”
"I know, second brother."
Li Wei continued to touch up her makeup after hanging up the phone.
After everything was tidied up, it was still forty minutes before the appointed time.
Joy Hotel is a local four-star hotel. Although it is not the most high-end hotel, the catering here is said to be unique, so many business people come here to discuss business and so on. Naturally, this is not the first time Li Wei has come. She pulled into the parking lot. Before he even got out of the car, he called Wu Ming.
"Boss, I'm here. Where are you now?"
Wu Ming arrived before Li Wei. He said to Li Wei: "It's in Yixin Pavilion on the seventh floor of Xiyuan. Come over. The other party has also arrived."
It's still about ten minutes until seven o'clock, but why are these people so active
Li Wei turned off the engine, took her bag, locked the car door, and headed towards the Xiyuan that Wu Ming mentioned on her five-centimeter-high stilettos.
The weather was really cold. Even though she had put on a long down jacket, her hands and feet still felt cold, so she not only sped up her pace a lot.
When she hurried towards Xiyuan, she felt that the air conditioner on this floor was turned on too high. After entering the elevator, two strangers, a man and a woman, came in. She pressed the number 7. The woman next to him couldn't help but look at Li Wei with her peripheral vision, secretly wondering if this person looked familiar, had she seen him somewhere.
When the elevator reached the seventh floor, Li Wei came out. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator door, she couldn't tell north from south and east from east. Fortunately, a hotel staff member came over.
