“Back in college, you weren’t that good.” Dong Shanshan’s glanced at him charmingly. “That tagline made a woman like me feel my blood rush. You even received the sponsorship of the company to have wide-scale promotions for it. It will at least be on seven or eight video websites. The starting point is already higher than mine!”
Zhang Ye said, “It’s not that different. It’s about the same.”
Dong Shanshan ate a mouthful of Shabu-shabu, “What a pity. Your program is too dangerous.”
“You aren’t optimistic about it, too?” Zhang Ye did not turn upset but laughed instead.
Dong Shanshan said frankly, “I think it’s average. The selling point isn’t clear. There has been no precedent, so I can’t see what’s good about it, no matter what aspect it is. If we were just ordinary colleagues, I would definitely support and cheer you on, but we are old classmates for so many years, so I will definitely suggest that you change programs. But with your personality, you will definitely not heed my advice. Pretend I didn’t say it.”
Zhang Ye laughed, “I’ll not change it even if you killed me. I’m even hoping for the talk show format to go overseas.” The overseas market for talk shows was even bigger than the domestic market. If after his program was released, foreign countries wanted to emulated his program to produce a talk show, they would have to give Zhang Ye royalties. When that happened, he would be truly the founder of talk shows in this world, as well as a pioneer!
How could he not want such a big slice of the pie? Was he an idiot!?
Dong Shanshan curled her lips, “You are even talking about overseas? Keep bragging then.”
Zhang Ye smirked, “You don’t believe? Then let’s have a bet. What happens if my first episode exceeds 500,000 hits? If you lose, what do I get?”
Dong Shanshan leered at him, “You won a bet against me once, and you still want to patronize my business? Hur hur. I won’t fall for it, unless your first episode exceeds a million hits.”
Zhang Ye said without hesitation, “Sure, let’s make it a million.”
Dong Shanshan gazed at him with her watery eyes, “If you can’t exceed it, what happens?”
Zhang Ye blinked, “If I can’t exceed a million, the next time when you need a promotional phrase, I’ll write you one. I’ll ensure that it is of high quality.”
Dong Shanshan ran her fingers through her smooth, wavy hair, “Alright, then if you exceed it, eh… I’ll give you another kiss. Is that fair?”
“Sure. Let’s settle on it.” Zhang Ye agreed to it.
Dong Shanshan laughed, “I didn’t notice it in the first place. When were you so perverted?”
Zhang Ye was speechless, “You were the one who suggested it! You were the first to say it on the plane, too!”
Dong Shanshan was confused, “I was the one who first suggested it?”
“Can that be false?” Zhang Ye said.
“You must have remembered wrongly. Come, let’s tuck in!” Dong Shanshan began scooping the food.
Zhang Ye, “…” Look at your mouth, lying every day with your eyes wide open. When this bro’s talk show succeeds, see how I’ll kiss you so strongly. Right, this time, I must send my tongue in. The last time, your kiss was too damn fast. This bro didn’t even have the time to react. This time I have the experience, alright!?
After the meal.
Dong Shanshan began clearing the dishes.
Zhang Ye knew his place and volunteered, “You’ve been busy all day. Let me do the washing.”
“We’ve agreed on this previously.” Dong Shanshan was adamant on this matter. “I’ll buy the groceries, wash the dishes and do the laundry. It’s in replacement of the rent.”
Zhang Ye said, “Aiyah, it’s fine if I wash every now and then.”
“That won’t do. If not, I can’t stay here with my mind at ease.” Dong Shanshan held the utensils and used her perky hips to push Zhang Ye away, “Leave me alone.”
When Dong Shanshan was wearing slippers, she was shorter than Zhang Ye by a tiny bit. When her hips slammed into Zhang Ye’s thigh, he felt a huge amount of squishy pressure pressing on him. It intoxicated Zhang Ye.
“Alright then.”
“Go online and take a look. See if the promotions have been released.”
“Sure, but it shouldn’t be that fast, right?”
Zhang Ye took out a notebook computer from his room. Flipping it open, he used an internet browser to check every video website. It still wasn’t up, so he constantly had to refresh it.
After washing the dishes, Dong Shanshan dried her hands and walked over, “Is it out?”
“Not yet.” Zhang Ye said.
With a glance, Dong Shanshan said, “It’s useless to refresh the main site. Open any random video. The first ten or so seconds are the commercials. Let me do it.” She took over the mouse and clicked on an updated anime’s video. Then she waited for the commercial.
The first commercial was a shampoo commercial.
The second one was 15-second car commercial.
When the first scene of the third commercial appeared, Zhang Ye suddenly said, “It’s this. Heh, it’s really out. Watch the effect!’
