Chapter 157: Black Box Operation
The rainy days are finally over. With the sunshine, the temperature rises rapidly, and everything seems to be warm and busy in the early summer.
When Dai Jialang gradually adapted to his nine-to-five life, Ji Wenlan suddenly appeared in an unexpected way.
Although Dai Jialang already has the title of "Chairman Administrative Assistant", his overall work content still cannot be separated from the category of driver and bodyguard. The rest is to run errands for Zhou Jiyao.
As Yu Houhong said, his "Chairman Administrative Assistant" is nothing more than Zhou Jiyao's life secretary, and he does not have much technical content. It is far inferior to Yu Houhong, the big assistant.
Despite this, his role should not be underestimated. After all, he became a person around the chairman, and could freely go to the chairman's office and go to the chairman's home at any time. Even the deputy general manager of the company had no right to call him, let alone colleagues from the security department before.
The most important thing is that Zhou Jiyao seemed to trust him as a male life assistant and even obeyed his advice. For example, he just casually mentioned that Mei Xiangyue came to serve Ouyang Juan. In a few days, Mei Xiangyue became Ouyang Juan's full-time nanny, creating conditions for her to get closer to Zhou Jiyao.
That morning, Dai Jialang saw Zhou Jiyao's face was a little bad when he came to the office, and even became angry. So he found an excuse to come to his office and asked carefully: "Did the chairman not have a good rest last night? Should he call a doctor to take a look?"
Zhou Jiyao sat there for a while and said, "This girl is so ignorant. She even wants to participate in a talent show with her child. Isn't this a nonsense?"
Dai Jialang understood what was going on as soon as he heard that Ouyang Juan had signed up for a music talent show, but she was not pregnant at that time. Zhou Jiyao naturally agreed to make her lover happy.
But the situation is different now. Since Ouyang Juan is pregnant, Zhou Jiyao naturally would not agree to her going for safety reasons.
But Ouyang Juan's mother is now noble because of her son, so she naturally has a temper. No need to ask, she must have had a quarrel with Zhou Jiyao over this matter last night.
"Chairman, this is not a bad thing. I heard that it is beneficial for women to exercise regularly after they are pregnant. It is not good to stay at home all day. The most important thing is to be in a good mood." Dai Jialang said cautiously.
Zhou Jiyao lit a big cigar and said angrily: "What do you know? Have you ever been pregnant? What if something happens?"
Dai Jialang smiled and said, "I also heard from the wives in my hometown. Singing is not a big deal anyway. What can happen? At worst, I can just ask a few more people to follow her at that time."
Zhou Jiyao said with a embarrassed look: "The problem is that my goddaughter Xianling also participated in this talent show, and asked my wife to secretly find judges to help her get her joints. If Xiaojuan also participates, who do you want me to help?"
Although Zhu Xianling is a rare beauty, Dai Jialang has no good feelings for her since he first met her. Moreover, he later designed to frame her, so he naturally won’t talk to her now.
"What's the problem with this? You might as well not help anyone, just let them rely on their own strength." Dai Jialang said as if he was fair.
Zhou Jiyao said thoughtfully: "If you really rely on your strength, Xianling will definitely not be Xiaojuan's opponent, but Xiaojuan may not be able to get a ranking. At that time, I will still ask me to find someone to help her unblock it."
Dai Jialang thought for a while and said, "This kind of talent show will be selected through several levels. You can let Ouyang Juan participate. If she was eliminated in the first few times, she would not have confidence. If she could enter the rematch or the final, it would not be too late for you to come forward to help her again."
Zhou Jiyao still said with a worried look: "I'm worried that those reporters will make up a mistake. Who knows what scandal will be made up by then? If they are eliminated, they will be in the spotlight if they enter the finals."
Dai Jialang understood Zhou Jiyao's concerns and thought to himself that he still cared about others knowing that he was raising his little wife. Which of those celebrities and singers is not behind a rich man? On the surface, they all hide it, but secretly they are proud that they have such a mistress.
"Chairman, if Ouyang Juan can stand in the spotlight, won't you have a bright face?" Dai Jialang said boldly.
Zhou Jiyao was stunned for a moment, then cursed: "Damn, you kid are getting more and more presumptuous."
He paused, waved his hand and said, "Then let her go, so that she can save herself from making trouble with me again. However, you have to arrange this matter yourself. If something happens to her, I will not peel you off. Remember, don't use my banner first. If I can't choose, I will feel embarrassed."
Dai Jialang didn't expect that Zhou Jiyao asked Ouyang Juan to participate in the talent show in just a few words, and also appointed himself to be responsible for arranging this matter. He felt a little regretful for a while.
In fact, he had no clear purpose in instigating Zhou Jiyao to let Ouyang Juan participate in the talent show, but he was simply a little cautious in his mind and wanted Ouyang Juan to replace Zhu Xianling.
And he concluded that Zhu Xianling was not Ouyang Juan's opponent. When he saw Zhu Xianling being eliminated by Ouyang Juan, he would feel a sense of revenge, but he didn't expect that he would have to bear all the consequences brought about.
However, surprisingly, after several games, Ouyang Juan and Zhu Xianling were not eliminated and all entered the quarterfinals.
However, Ouyang Juan relies on strength and Zhu Xianling relies on hype. The main driving force is Zhou Lin. She has been helping Zhu Xianling operate during the competition. Not only did she hire the navy troops who looked at it, but she might even bribe the judges.
Now the relationship between Zhu Xianling and Ouyang Juan is a little wrong, because the two suddenly became competitors, and Zhou Lin also started to be in a dilemma and didn't know who to help.
As Zhou Jiyao expected, when Ouyang Juan became famous, someone immediately began to dig out her background materials. Although he did not name Zhou Jiyao's name, rumors about her began to fly all over the Internet, and even the news of her pregnancy was exposed.
Fortunately, the program team did not stipulate that pregnant contestants were not allowed to participate in the competition. Instead, a director simply followed the situation and gave Ouyang Juan the title of "the most beautiful mother".
Not long after, Ouyang Juan basically became a famous person. Although public opinion mixed, her reputation far exceeded that of Zhu Xianling.
Not only Ouyang Juan became famous, but even Dai Jialang also benefited from it because he had become Ouyang Juan's agent. Once, a reporter actually asked him if he was the father of the child in Ouyang Juan's belly. He was so scared that he didn't know how to answer. Finally, he ordered two security guards to drive the reporter out.
Zhou Jiyao was obviously not mentally prepared. He originally just asked his little lover to go out for fun and relax, but unexpectedly, he was scored into the quarterfinals of the country by Ouyang Juan, and now he couldn't sit still.
He called Dai Jialang to the office and said, "It's okay to see this posture entering the finals. Since it has reached this point, I might as well spend some money. If we can win the championship, we won't have to spend a lot of money to hire a spokesperson in the future."
Dai Jialang said cautiously: "But the more time comes, the more fierce the competition will be, and this kind of competition is not necessarily on the stage, but behind the scenes."
Zhou Jiyao nodded and said, "I understand what you mean. It seems that Xianling and Xiaojuan must give up one. Judging from the current form, Xiaojuan is obviously more popular than Xianling."
Dai Jialang reminded: "Popularity is only one aspect, and the most important thing is to look at the final ruling of the judges."
Zhou Jiyao nodded, pondered for a while and said, "Don't worry about other things. Organize your team to prepare for the final sprint. If you need funds, please contact Assistant Yu directly. However, I can remind you that Xiaojuan is pregnant with a child in her belly, so don't let her be too tired."
Dai Jialang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chairman, I have prepared a lounge for Ouyang Juan wherever I am, and hired a doctor to accompany her throughout the journey. The only thing I worry about is that she should not be too excited after winning the championship."
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and muttered, "What's the point of singing on the stage with a big belly?"
He said this, but after Dai Jialang left, he asked Yu Houhong to meet with Li Tang, the main judge of the talent show in the guild. As soon as he met, he asked: "Which one do you like, Zhu Xianling and Ouyang Juan?"
Li Tang is a professor at the Conservatory of Music and a senior musician. As the main judge of this talent show, there are more celebrities coming to him. However, he obviously did not expect Zhou Jiyao to come forward in person.
"Your wife seems to like Zhu Xianling." Li Tang was a little confused because Jiang Biyun had already found Zhu Xianling for the competition.
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about my wife, I raised this question from a professional perspective."
Li Tang hesitated: "From a professional perspective, Zhu Xianling naturally has a slight advantage."
Zhou Jiyao was stunned and said in surprise: "What do you mean is that Ouyang Juan is not as good as Zhu Xianling?"
Li Tang smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. Professionals may not be able to sing well. Obviously, Zhu Xianling has received special training, and Ouyang Juan can be said to be a wild path. However, in terms of innate conditions such as tone, Ouyang Juan is obviously better than Zhu Xianling."
Zhou Jiyao waved his hand and said, "That's Ouyang Juan, but Zhu Yunlu should be very familiar with you, so don't let Xianling be too embarrassed. At least you have to give it to the semi-finals."
Li Tang said in confusion: "Isn't Zhu Xianling your goddaughter? Why are you..."
Zhou Jiyao stood up and said, "I am going to train Ouyang Juan to be the spokesperson of our company. After this competition, I will let her be your student, and she will develop in the music industry in the future."
He paused for a moment, pointed at Yu Houhong who was standing behind him and said, "You can just look for my assistant about business matters. She will arrange it properly. I will not accompany me if I have some things." After that, he left.
