Chapter 263 -263 What’s Happening?
Upon hearing Wang Hao’s words, the reporters suddenly exclaimed, “Holy shit, that’s wild!” “Quick, get it all on camera!” “It’s been such a long time since we’ve had such big news!” “He doesn’t even know the ratings of other stations and dares claim his show will have a 2.5% viewership rating!”
Liu Qisheng broke into a sweat as the entire program team was flabbergasted!
For goodness’ sake, we never spotted this habit of bragging before. If we had known, we would never have let you meet the reporters, oh heavens!
The reporters wanted to continue questioning, but at that moment, the bell tolled ten times, and the show “If You Are the One,” which had grabbed countless people’s attention—or rather, had been eagerly anticipated—finally premiered!
At the same time, Liu Gang smiled and said, “Ok, Mr. Wang Hao, the show has started. Remember, I am Liu Gang, a reporter from Eastern Times. I’d like to have an exclusive interview with you after the program ends!”
Wang Hao replied, “No problem!”
“It’s starting! It’s starting!”
Finally, it was time. Everyone quieted down to watch the show.
Meanwhile, on the big screen of the ratings monitoring equipment located at the very front of the broadcasting hall, a row of data appeared—
[Dream Home Makeover, Zhonghu TV, Start time 21:45, End time 23:45, Ratings: 2.231%]
[Open Sesame, Eastern TV, Start time 21:16, End time 23:18, Ratings: 2.093%]
[Eastern Melodrama, Tianjing TV, Start time 20:58, End time 23:16, Ratings: 1.862%]
[Humor Observer, Liao Bei TV, Start time 20:36, End time 22:32, Ratings: 1.635%]
[Transforming Star Residence, Dongnan TV, Start time 21:05, End time 22:51, Ratings: 1.358%]
[Culinary Quest for Truth…]
[If You Are the One, Zhenan TV, Start time 22:02, End time 23:56, Ratings: 0%]
“What’s going on?” Many reporters were confused by the situation, glancing at the numbers on the monitoring equipment they whispered to the TV station staff present, “The show’s rating can’t actually be zero, right?”
“Ratings are calculated every ten minutes,” answered a staff member, looking at them as if they were aliens. “What did you think, that it’s calculated every second? Do you realize how much data that would involve? Those numbers are the ratings for programs from various stations at the same time, which can serve as a reference.”
“Oh, I see!” The reporters nodded, swiftly positioning their cameras.
As the show had officially begun, the music started playing, and everyone’s eyes were drawn to the large screen broadcasting live. When the twenty-four female guests made their entrance, people in the audience exclaimed, “The quality of these female guests is really high!”
The reporters were also very surprised since this was their first time seeing the “If You Are the One” program.
In a blink, ten minutes passed, and the numbers on the monitoring equipment finally changed—
[Dream Home Makeover… Ratings: 2.314%]
[Open Sesame… Ratings: 2.075%]
[Eastern Melodrama… Ratings: 1.851%]
[Humor Observer… Ratings: 1.603%]
[Transforming Star Residence… Ratings: 1.321%]
[If You Are the One… Ratings: 0.635%]
Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief!
The ratings for “If You Are the One” in its first ten minutes were only 0.635%, putting it in just the sixty-eighth place!
Meng Fei, sitting among the crowd, covered his face—It was over; this was a complete disaster!
After a brief silence, all the reporters burst into laughter—
“Hahahaha! A 0.635% viewership rating!”
“Just a moment ago he said a 2.5% would do fine, but it looks like that was talking big!”
“No kidding, wow, the bragging really blew up this time, hahaha! 0.635%!”
“Ranked sixty-eighth! Such a pain to even look for it!”
Wei Ming was also in the corner, holding his stomach and laughing uproarously, laughing and slapping his thigh, “Hahaha! A rating of 0.635, now that’s truly ‘astonishing’! Looks like these two bosses won’t be able to escape this time!”
All the TV station members had exceptionally grim faces, with quite a few staff burying their heads outright—today really was a monumental embarrassment!
Liu Qisheng was neither sitting nor standing comfortably as he wiped the sweat from his brow. Stealthily, he found an employee and asked, “Where’s Wang Hao? What’s he doing?! Those journalists are about to die laughing!”
At that moment, the journalists also started looking for him, wanting to see Wang Hao’s expression. That’s when Liu Gang called out loudly, “Wang Hao is here!”
The reporters all followed the direction and then the entire studio suddenly fell silent.
From nowhere came the faint sound of Wang Hao’s snoring, “hoo… hoo…”
The guy was actually resting his head on his agent Xia Xueqi’s thigh!
This time Liu Qisheng completely lost it, “This… this…”
Suddenly, all the journalists burst into hysterical laughter, many unable to even straighten their waists, and the entire studio echoed with almost sky-splitting laughter, “Hahahahaha—!!!”
The executives at the front were also smiling ear to ear, Li Mingnan chuckled, “Zheng, looks like you can be blindsided too, haha.” The executives beside him also laughed, “Yeah, luckily you didn’t seal the deal yesterday, otherwise you’d have suffered a huge loss!”
Wang Hao: “Hoo… hoo…”
Liu Qisheng: “It’s… over…” He had already mentally prepared himself that after this show ended, the journalists would definitely hound him to death!
The program continued, and soon the ratings for the second ten-minute segment were being tallied. The numbers on the ratings tracking device began to change.
[Dream Renovators… Rating: 2.264%]
[Open Sesame… Rating: 2.023%]
[Eastern TV Drama Watch… Rating: 1.765%]
[If You Are the One… Rating: 0.762%] Ranked fifty-second!
Everybody’s eyes bulged, and the staff at Zhenan TV Station exclaimed in surprise, “The rating is actually rising! Up to fifty-second place!” “Just ten minutes and it’s already risen by 0.13 percentage points?! Hahaha! Awesome!”
After all, they were the show’s staff, and naturally they were thrilled about the rising rating.
But hearing their cheers, Liu Gang let out a snide chuckle, “A 0.13 point increase in ten minutes, heh, that’s slow going!”
The journalists also quickly aimed their cameras at the screen, laughing while filming, “Oh, it’s gone up, gotta congratulate them, haha!” “Yeah, up by 0.13 points, well, I estimate by eleven it might reach 1%!”
Wei Ming also laughed uproariously, “Haha, ranking first is still our TV station, 2.26%, look at our data!”
Wang Hao lay on Xia Xueqi’s thigh, sleeping ever so sweetly, “hoo… hoo…”
As time ticked by, before long, the third ten-minute ratings count came out!
[If You Are the One… Rating: 0.996%] Ranked twenty-eighth!

If before people were just a bit surprised, this time they were absolutely delighted!
“Damn! Damn! Keep it up! Nearly breaking through 1%!”
“This ten minutes it actually went up by 0.23 points! Amazing! Such an impressive increase!”
The staff at Zhenan TV grew even more expectant, while Liu Gang was beaming, “At ten-thirty, the ratings were less than 1%, haha, many audience members are getting ready for bed by this time. Next count, I’ll give a generous estimate, 1.1%, and that’ll be it.”
Liu Qisheng kept wiping his sweat, praying ceaselessly in his heart, “It has to break 1%! It has to break 1%!”
Soon, the fourth ten minutes passed, and this time the ratings statistics had everyone dumbstruck—
[If You Are the One… Rating: 1.366%] Ranked twelfth!
When the number came out, the entire place went quiet in an instant.
What’s going on? Isn’t this the time when everyone should be getting ready for bed? But why are the ratings starting to soar?!
