Chapter 4 Opportunities Are Won

  Dad, what Mom said, Guo Xiaoyu who left definitely didn't know. But why did he want Dad to hand over the business plan to him first?

  As Guo Mama said, Guo Xiaoyu has this lazy habit of sitting when he can and lying down when he can sit. This kind of self-inflicted trouble is totally not his style.

  Has he changed his ways? How is that possible?!

  Guo Xiaoyu did this for a reason, now he has to do something for his father's future.

  ……

  The next morning.

  Guo Xiaoyu took a document from his father, who had dark circles under his eyes. This document was the plan for "Where is Dad Going" that Guo's father had stayed up all night to prepare.

  Mr. Guo's beard was messy at this moment, and his face looked tired, but his eyes were particularly spirited, filled with something called excitement!

  "Dad, don't worry. We'll go submit it to the TV station's planning department for review later. You hurry up and get a good sleep now, and when you wake up, I'll be back with good news."

  "Hey you!" Mr. Guo scolded with a smile, "You little brat, hurry up and deliver the stuff to the planning department, don't mess it up for me."

  "It's nothing." Guo Xiaoyu rubbed his nose, looking smug, and said: "You can rest assured and sleep soundly now that I've got everything under control." As he spoke, he pushed his dad towards the bedroom.

  Mr. Guo thought for a moment and decided that it was just a matter of handing over something, so Xiaoyu would definitely be fine. He then reminded him once and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

  At this time, Guo Xiaoyu, holding the plan, looked at his father's back and said softly, "Dad, this time I must let everyone see your ability, just wait!" After finishing speaking, Guo Xiaoyu went out.

  Guo Xiaoyu, who had just stepped out, did not head towards the TV station, but instead entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor.

  Guo Xiaoyu lives on the tenth floor of this building. He didn't go to the TV station, what is he doing running back up his own building?

  It turned out that the residential area where Guo Xiaoyu lived was on the outskirts of Mango TV. Due to its proximity to the TV station, good environment, and convenient transportation, with kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, high schools, shopping malls, and entertainment venues all nearby, most employees of the TV station had settled down in this residential area. And now Guo Xiaoyu was heading to an employee's home.

  This employee is now the director of Mango TV - Lü Bin.

  Name: Lü Bin

  Date of birth: August 1960

  Position: Director-General of Mango TV Station

  Tenure: 2004-2

  This station head is the longest-serving station head on Mango TV to date, and has been in office for a full ten years. During his tenure, he carried out drastic reforms, reused young people, and innovated many popular variety shows, making Mango TV the number one local TV station in China within just ten short years!

  Because he and Guo's father graduated from the same university and lived in the same building, their two families had a very good relationship, and Guo Xiaoyu was also quite familiar with him.

  This time, Guo Xiaoyu is going to bypass the TV station's planning department and directly submit it to the director, and lay a solid foundation for his old dad!

  After going up to the 18th floor, Guo Xiaoyu knocked on the door of Lü Taichang's home. The one who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties, wearing a set of home clothes. Although she had reached middle age, her figure could still be considered perfect! This person was none other than Lü Taichang's wife - Zhao Yuyun, currently the head of the Artiste Department at Mango Media, and all the big-name hosts on TV were under her management, a true iron lady!

  Zhao Youyun opened the door and saw that it was Guo Xiaoyu, and exclaimed: "Ah, it's Xiaoyu! How come you're here so early? Xiao Liang isn't home right now."

  Zhao Youyun's Xiao Liang is actually their son, Lü Ming. Guo Xiaoyu and he have been inseparable since childhood, and are absolutely iron brothers. He is currently a sophomore in the Department of Economic Management at Xiangcheng University.

  "Aunt Zhao, I'm not looking for Little Liang, I'm looking for Uncle Lü. Is he at home now?"

  "Your uncle is in the study, what do you want to find him for?" Zhao Yuyun let Guo Xiaoyu into the house, while finding slippers for him, and said: "I don't know what he's busy with, he went into the study early in the morning, wait a minute, I'll go call him."

  "Wait." Guo Xiaoyu stopped Zhao Yuyun and said, "No need, I'll go to the study room to find Uncle Lü instead. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with him."

  "Hey, our little Yu still has something important to discuss? It can't be about how to sleep comfortably, right?"

  "Zhao Yi..." Looking at Zhao Yuyun who was teasing her, Guo Xiaoyu had a helpless expression.

  "Alright, Aunt Zhao won't tease you anymore. You go find him yourself, I'll go help cut some fruit." After saying that, Zhao Yuyun turned around and went to the kitchen.

  "This Aunt Zhao, really gets more and more petty as she ages, always likes to make fun of me. No wonder others always say, 'old and petty, old and petty.'" Guo Xiaoyu secretly composed a few lines, then headed towards the study room.

  "Knock...knock..." Guo Xiaoyu knocked twice on the door, and immediately a steady male voice came from inside:

  "Come in!"

  Guo Xiaoyu pushed open the door, and what entered her eyes was a large bookshelf. In front of the bookshelf sat a slightly balding man, intently writing something. Just sitting there, he gave Guo Xiaoyu a sense of stability, like Mount Tai - this person was none other than our Dean Lu Daitai, Lu Bin.

  "Uncle Lü." Guo Xiaoyu called out tentatively.

  Lü Taichang slowly raised his head after hearing the voice, and saw that it was Guo Xiaoyu, then smiled warmly: "It's Xiao Yu, how come you came so early in the morning? Are you looking for Xiao Liang? He's not at home!"

  "I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you, to talk about something." Guo Xiaoyu had to explain again.

  "Want to talk to me?" Lü Bin asked curiously: "What did you find me for? What's the matter?"

  "Uncle Lü, take a look at this first." Guo Xiaoyu handed the plan in his hand to Lü Bin.

  "Where's Dad?" Lv Bin looked at the words on the plan and whispered, "What thing?" As he said that, he flipped open the plan.

  Guo Xiaoyu stood in front of the desk, quietly watching the expression on Lü Bin's face change from confusion to interest, to surprise, and finally to excitement. The corners of Guo Xiaoyu's mouth also involuntarily curled up slightly.

  Half response...

  Lü Bin slowly put down the manuscript in his hand, looked up at Guo Xiaoyu and asked, "Is this what you did?"

  "No, this was done by my dad overnight. He came back yesterday and thought of this idea, then he made the plan overnight. It was really early in the morning and I was too tired, so I let him take it to the TV station's planning department." Guo Xiaoyu suddenly pushed all the credit onto her old man.

  "Did your dad come up with this?" Lü Bin asked back, "Didn't your dad tell you to hand it over to the planning department? How did it end up here with me?"

  "That's the same thing!" Guo Xiaoyu smiled and continued: "All the copywriting in the planning department, aren't they all handed over to you in the end? If you don't nod your head, who dares to make a decision? Any program that you nod your head at, how can it not be popular?"

  "Flattery can also be crucial!" Guo Xiaoyu had always thought this was a profound saying, and now he gave Lv Bin a not-so-subtle pat on the back.

  "Hey you!" Lü Bin looked at Guo Xiaoyu's flattering appearance and laughed scoldingly, "You little rascal, I still don't understand why you'd come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason."

  "Hehe... then I'll just log in to your Three Treasures Hall." Guo Xiaoyu leaned over and said, "Uncle Lü, what do you think of this program my dad came up with? Is it definitely going to be a hit?"

  "The program is indeed good, and if done well, it will definitely be popular. But what does this have to do with you? You little brat, if you have something to say, just say it, and if you have gas, just let it out, don't give me all these irrelevant nonsense." Despite Lü Bin's age, his temper was still as fiery as ever.

  "Alright, I'll be straightforward then." Guo Xiaoyu's smile disappeared, and his face turned serious. He said, "Uncle Lü, if you think this program is good and are prepared to implement it, I hope Uncle Lü can agree to three conditions from me!"

  "What? You promised me three conditions?"

  "Alright!" Guo Xiaoyu nodded and said: "Three conditions!"

  Guo Xiaoyu finished speaking, and the room suddenly fell silent. Lü Bin leaned back in his chair, staring straight at him with both eyes. Guo Xiaoyu didn't give in either, looking back at him with both eyes, and the two people just stared at each other here, neither of them speaking.

  Just then, the door of the study opened and Lv Bin's wife, Zhao Yuyun, walked in with a plate of fruit. Seeing the situation in the room, she touched Guo Xiaoyu's head, looked at Lv Bin and asked: "What's going on between you two?"

  "Take a look at this." Lv Bin handed the plan in his hand to Zhao Yuyun, and after she finished reading it, he mentioned Guo Xiaoyu's request.

  Zhaoyunyun finished reading and his face first turned serious, then smiled and said: "Old Lü, let's listen to what three requirements this kid has."

  "This..." Lu Bin was originally prepared to refuse, but after seeing his wife give him a subtle wink, he made an effort to suppress the anger in his heart and said to Guo Xiaoyu: "I do want to see what you young man have to ask for." Lu Bin's tone had already become somewhat angry. Since he became the director of the TV station, over the years, when it came to matters related to the station's programs, it was always him making demands on others. Now, someone was actually making demands on him, and this person was a young man who had just turned twenty. How could this not make him angry?

  "Lü Shū, don't be angry, I'm not actually making any demands, just had some thoughts I wanted to share with you." Seeing Lü Bīn gave himself an opportunity, Guō Xiǎoyǔ also lowered his posture and gave him face.

  Seeing Lü Bin's improved complexion, Guo Xiaoyu said: "About this program, Uncle Lü and Aunt Zhao also watched it earlier. I believe that with your professional eyes, you can see the potential and future of this program. My dad's requirement is to hand over this program to the TV station for production. After all, the fat water doesn't flow into someone else's field!"

  Guo Xiaoyu stopped and saw that Lü Bin's face had finally returned to normal. He let out a sigh of relief and continued, "I hope Uncle Lü can help me with a few small favors in the show. Firstly, I hope my dad can be the chief director of this show. My dad's abilities, I believe Uncle Lü and Zhao Auntie are both very aware of, with his abilities, directing this show is absolutely no problem." After finishing speaking, Guo Xiaoyu stopped and looked at Lü Bin.

  Lü Bin heard Guo Xiaoyu's request and thought for a moment before agreeing: "This requirement can be met! The program was originally thought up by your dad, he understands the program best, let him direct it, there is no problem at all. What are your other two requirements?"

  "Secondly, I hope that my old man can hang up the name of this program's producer and let Uncle Hong Tao be the producer of this program."

  "It's understandable that Hong Tao is the producer, after all he has a lot of experience in this area. But for your dad to also be a producer, I don't really get it. Moreover, from what you said, your dad just holds the title of producer, but the important thing is still directing the show. What's the point of having the title of producer then? Your dad doesn't need this title to gain fame."

  "This is related to the third busy thing I mentioned. Since Lü Bin didn't get angry, he gestured for Guo Xiaoyu to continue. Guo Xiaoyu said: 'The third busy thing is that I hope my dad can bring my sister together to participate in this program, and let him join in with the title of producer.'"

  "Oh..." Lü Bin asked in confusion: "Your dad and sister participating in the show together isn't a big deal. But why didn't you participate as the director? Wouldn't that be more proper?"

  "Uh..." Guo Xiaoyu hesitated for half a day, unsure of how to explain. He couldn't very well say that he already had someone in mind for the director position.

  "In any case, this is good for the show, I hope Lü Shifu can help me with these three small favors, which are also helping the show "Dad, where are we going?" with three small favors, and also helping the TV station with three small favors." Now, Guo Xiaoyu could only start being unreasonable.

  "Alright, you've dragged me onto the TV station, I suppose I have no choice but to agree." Lu Bin's agreement left Guo Xiaoyu bewildered. He had thought that Lu Bin would resist in every way possible, yet he agreed so readily.

  "But..." Guo Xiaoyu hadn't yet recovered from his earlier daze when he was made nervous by Lu Bin's two words.

  "Just listen," said Lv Bin, "I agree to your three requirements without any problem. However, the six pairs of fathers and sons, fathers and daughters in your plan must be invited by yourself. As long as you can invite them, I will agree to all your requests and use the best team from the TV station to produce this program. How about it? Will you accept?"

  "What the... What are you trying to do?!" Guo Xiaoyu's heart was screaming, he really couldn't understand what Lü Bin was trying to do, how did it end up involving himself?!

  Before Guo Xiaoyu came back to his senses, Lü Bin continued: "As long as you settle the six family groups, no matter what kind of six family groups they are, I will agree to your request. Otherwise, you can put this plan here, go home and wash up, and this plan has nothing to do with you anymore. How about it?"

  Looking at Lv Bin's expressionless face, Guo Xiaoyu really couldn't understand what he was thinking: "I don't believe it, I can't even handle six families on my own, and I'm not unaware of who those people were originally, damn it!"

  Guo Xiaoyu steeled herself and replied, "Alright! You just wait and see, give me ten days, and in ten days I'll put the consent forms of six families on your desk. Don't try to back out then."

  "Alright! It's settled then."

  "Alright, Uncle Lü, Aunt Zhao, I'll leave first. See you in ten days." After saying that, Guo Xiaoyu left without looking back.

  After Guo Xiaoyu left, Zhao Yuyun, who had been silent all along, asked: "Old Lü, why did you let him be in charge of finding people? Aren't you afraid he'll mess it up?"

  "Are you kidding me?" Lü Bin said with a confident expression: "Didn't you see that he wanted Old Guo to participate in the show as a producer? It means that he already has a director in mind, and since that's the case, he must also have other candidates in mind. Moreover, you don't understand Old Guo, could this program be something he came up with? I think it's 80% likely that this kid thought of it and then pushed all the responsibility onto Old Guo to help him out."

  Listening to Lv Bin say this, Zhao Youyun pointed at him and laughed: "You, you! You old fox, even calculating against little kids!"

  "Of course, if I hadn't calculated it that way, how would I have chased after a big beauty like you back then?" As he spoke, his hand stroked Zhao Yuyun's slender waist.

  "Shameless old man." Although Zhao Youyun cursed in his mouth, he did not refuse Lü Bin.

  And then...
