Chapter 1040: Time for a Dinner Party
Somehow, the one that was unlucky at the end was still The Performer.
Ge Guangzhen was about to go crazy. Something that had originally been attacking Lu Man became The Performer’s problem in the end.
This was too much.
Originally, when Lu Dongliu saw that, he had really thought that it was some netizen who had said something not beneficial to Classic X Files. Lu Dongliu had been about to ask Lu Man when he remembered what Lu Man had said and stopped himself with much difficulty.
And now that he was looking at it, heh!
The one who was unlucky in the end was still The Performer, and he instantly felt better.
So then, it was probable that the Weibo post just now was also done by Lu Man.
Classic X Files’s third episode that had stopped being talked about began trending again.
Lu Man 500 to 0 against Qiao Luna.
Qiao Luna: “…”
Who did she provoke? This situation had passed with much difficulty, yet it turned back to her again!
And the news about The Performer did not manage to exceed that about Classic X Files.
The Performer’s second episode had yet to air, but it was about to die in terms of publicity.
“Since the publicity for the second episode is not good enough, while there is still a bit of time until the second episode’s broadcast, Director Ge, how about we contact a few more celebrities and see if they can come and film?” Team Leader Wu suggested.
“Let’s try it.” Ge Guangzhen sighed. He could only do it like that. “I’ll personally contact them.”
“You’ll personally do it?” Team Leader Wu asked in shock.
“Now that the reputation of The Performer is not good, the only way I can express my sincerity is by personally inviting them,” Ge Guangzhen said.
But after inviting a few, everyone rejected him.
Finally, there was someone who laughed bitterly and said, “Director Ge, it’s not that I don’t want to agree, but our company has sent down a strict order: no one is allowed to accept. I’m telling you the truth, please don’t sell me out later on.”
Ge Guangzhen hurriedly said, “Of course not, of course not. I’m very thankful that you told me the truth.”
“This is something the Han Corporation said. The celebrities under them won’t accept The Performer. As for other companies, they did not directly give out the order, but a lot of companies that want to work with the Han Corporation have already followed in its footsteps.”
Furthermore, there were so many variety shows now. There was really no need to go for a show that was so controversial.
Even if they did not accept The Performer, no one felt that it was a big loss.
Jiang Yuhan and the others had hurriedly pulled out after recording for one episode, and the celebrities who’d participated in the first episode were affected to varying degrees.
At this time, even if the company did not interfere, there would be very few people who’d be willing to accept an invitation.
Using a strong lineup to maintain the second episode’s viewership ratings was not possible anymore.

In a blink of an eye, it was Friday.
On Friday night, aside for Classic X Files and The Performer being aired, Wang Juhuai was also bringing Xia Qingwei to the Municipal Dinner.
The day they went to get their marriage certificate, he had originally wanted to follow Xia Qingwei to buy a dress for the Municipal Dinner, but in the end, they did not manage to.
But later on, Wang Juhuai and Xia Qingwei went together to get a dress.
Almost seven at night, Wang Juhuai followed Xia Qingwei to the Sheng Yue Banquet Hall where the dinner party was taking place.
As this was the first time she was participating in this sort of event, Xia Qingwei was a bit nervous.
Before this, before she had divorced Lu Qiyuan, she had never participated in this sort of activity with him.
At that time, it was because Lu Qiyuan did not have a high enough standing to participate in this sort of event. Later on, when he had the standing to participate, they had already divorced, and the person Lu Qiyuan brought had long become Xia Qingyang.
She had never participated in this sort of event, and she did not know if she could fit in. She was scared to embarrass Wang Juhuai.
Xia Qingwei knew very well that not everyone was like the Han Family.
