Qin Lang was just joking around. Wasn’t he supposed to speak freely?
How come he suddenly got made the chief planner and chief director?
What’s going on here!
Qin Lang suddenly felt like he had shot himself in the foot and created a troublesome situation for himself.
“Really? That’s wonderful!”
Before Qin Lang could react, Zhao Qinghui shouted with joy.
As if she were the chief director herself!
Qin Lang quickly stopped the overjoyed Zhao Qinghui and gave a wry smile.
“Director Zhao, I really appreciate your high regard, but isn’t giving me such an important task a bit too heavy? I’m just a singer. I…”
Hearing the reluctance in Qin Lang’s voice, Director Zhao wasn’t surprised.
Any young singer hearing what he just said probably wouldn’t accept it easily.
“Yun Xuan, you are a singer, but you can’t just see yourself as only a singer. If you do, the qualities you have that are different from other singers won’t get a chance to shine.”
Director Zhao said calmly, “Don’t let your identity as a singer limit your potential. Who says a singer can’t become a director or planner? Having that kind of thought is narrow-minded. You should try your best to unleash the energy within you.”
“But… I have no experience in this area,” Qin Lang hesitated, then said.
He truly had no experience. Not to mention planning a large-scale show, even back in school, he had never planned a class party.
Suddenly being made a chief planner and chief director—this pie was too big and would choke him!
Although Qin Lang took pride in being a transmigrator, he also knew his own limitations well.
Copying songs, writing ancient poems—those were still within his ability.
But planning a show, directing a TV series, starring in a movie…
That would be like a pig trying to eat the stars—having no idea how high the sky is.
But Director Zhao didn’t think so.
“Don’t worry about that. Our Jiuyang TV station has a mature system and skilled employees. I’ll also assign you several assistant directors. All you need to do is bring your creative ideas to life. As for the specific work, they will handle it.”
After a pause, Director Zhao’s expression turned serious. “Yun Xuan, you need to understand that this world doesn’t lack people who get things done. What it lacks is the person who can provide genius ideas. And you… you are that second kind of person.”
Qin Lang was stunned. He didn’t expect Director Zhao to think so highly of him. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
“Since you have no objections, then it’s settled. I’ll contact your agent about the specifics,” Director Zhao said with a smile.
Qin Lang felt conflicted. He didn’t really want to take this on, but since Director Zhao had already put it that way, he couldn’t afford to lose face for him.
After all… he had just recently stood Director Zhao up. Refusing again now would be a bit inappropriate.
And besides, Zhao Qinghui’s admiring gaze was practically melting Qin Lang.
“Ah, who am I to be so softhearted? If worst comes to worst, the next time we swap bodies, I’ll cram on the content of a poetry conference.”
“Today is a family dinner, stop talking about work!”
Director Zhao’s wife said with a soft laugh. “Xuanxuan, don’t be so formal. Just call him Uncle Zhao, and call me Auntie. ‘Director Zhao’ sounds way too distant.”
Qin Lang gave a dry laugh. “Okay, Auntie, got it.”
But inside, Qin Lang was full of doubts.
Even though they kept calling it a family dinner, he had a feeling they had invited him specifically.
Saying it was to welcome Zhao Qinghui back felt more like an excuse.
“Are they trying to set me up with someone?”
Suddenly, this thought popped into Qin Lang’s mind, and even he couldn’t help but be startled.
Zhao Yunfeng had mentioned before… his older brother liked him, right?
And Sister Lin had said that the older brother Zhao Yunfeng referred to should be Zhao Yunkong?
Wasn’t that Director Zhao’s sister-in-law’s son?
Adding in the way she had looked at him earlier, like a daughter-in-law…
It was confirmed!
He never expected someone to be eyeing him like this.
“No wonder they kept calling it a family dinner. No wonder they wanted me to be chief director and chief planner. This is clearly a way to win me over!”
The more Qin Lang thought about it, the more he felt this was the case.
“If they really bring it up, how should I refuse? Besides, where is this Zhao Yunkong? Is he going to make a grand entrance later?”
“And besides, other than a charming and talented guy like me, who else deserves Qin Yunxuan?”
Qin Lang’s mind started wandering. Whenever he imagined Qin Yunxuan herself cuddled up to some other man in the future, a wave of intense jealousy rose in his heart.
Sure enough… a man’s possessiveness is completely unreasonable.
If Qin Yunxuan ever found out Qin Lang was thinking like this, she’d probably roll up her sleeves and beat him senseless!
Too bad—how could she ever know what Qin Lang was thinking?
Even if she did… she couldn’t reach him.
And to Director Zhao, Qin Lang’s absent-mindedness looked like he was seriously thinking about how to plan that poetry show.
Such a responsible young person was so rare. It seemed the station could appropriately promote Qin Yunxuan in the future.
After all, Jiuyang TV Station had a good relationship with Starlight Entertainment. Promoting Qin Yunxuan was perfectly reasonable.
Soon, everyone had eaten their fill and put down their chopsticks.
“Ahem, Yun Xuan, before we started eating, I mentioned there was one more favor I wanted to ask.”
Putting down his chopsticks, Director Zhao wiped his mouth and said calmly.
Qin Lang took a deep breath.
Here it comes. It’s finally here.
No matter who you are or what benefits you give me, if you’re trying to play matchmaker, I will never agree.
But on the surface, Qin Lang still wore a pleasant smile.
“Uncle Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Director Zhao glanced at his sister-in-law. “Sister-in-law, should you tell her, or should I?”
“I’d better. Xuanxuan, actually, the one who needs a favor is me. I have a son named Zhao Yunkong.”
Qin Lang’s mouth twitched. He had been right.
“But his situation is a bit unusual. Two years ago, he developed depression. Since then, he’s tried to harm himself multiple times. However, he really likes you. So I’m hoping…”
Depression and suicidal? They want Qin Yunxuan to date someone like that?
Are you kidding me?
“Auntie, I think… matters of the heart should be left to fate. And besides, I’m currently in the early stages of my career. For the next three years… oh no, eight years, I won’t be considering any personal romantic relationships.”
