On the day of Guo Ziyi's confession, Ding Xiang told Guo Ziyi that since the two of them had chosen to be together, then Guo Ziyi could no longer continue to bear the pressure of persuading his parents alone. She would also work hard to bear the pressure together!
Of course, Ding Xiang also worked very hard.
However, when the day came, she finally understood how great the pressure was!
It wasn't just at this moment sitting in the hotel room. Last night, Ding Xiang had been tossing and turning, unable to sleep. While she was thinking hard about what she should say to Guo Ziyi's parents, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild. Some of the terrible consequences of failure tightly gripped her heart.
Ding Xiang was relatively strong, so she wasn't crushed by the heavy pressure. She still pursed her lips and tried hard to hold on. If it were other delicate girls, they would have been scared away, right?
Just as Ding Xiang sat in the corner of the room, holding a cup of hot water that Guo Ziyi had eagerly handed to her, and silently reciting some of the responses that she had "researched" last night, suddenly Guo Ziyi shouted, "Brother Yang, these are my parents!"
Ding Xiang raised her head in surprise and hurriedly got up at the same time. She saw an extraordinary middle-aged man with an equally graceful middle-aged woman walk in.
The middle-aged man's clothes were similar to those of the leaders on TV. Because the weather was slightly cold, he wore an old-fashioned, dark sweater between his shirt and suit jacket. From his appearance, he was slightly fat, but not the kind of fat with a beer belly. His shoulders were broad, and his body was slightly large.
However, compared to Guo Ziyi, who hadn't lost weight yet, he could be said to be much thinner! Perhaps it was because he had been visiting the districts all year round, but his steps were steady and gave people a sense of authenticity!
Of course, Ding Xiang had seen the photos of Guo Ziyi's parents. Even without Guo Ziyi's loud reminder, she knew that they were Guo Ziyi's parents, Guo Zhengyan and Tan Huizhen!
However, compared to the smiling Tan Huizhen standing beside Guo Zhengyan, the serious Guo Zhengyan gave Ding Xiang more pressure!
Guo Zhengyan was just like him in the news. He was serious in speech and manner. Although he had a round face, he did not have Guo Ziyi's sense of humor. He was always serious, as if he was constantly emitting an intimidating aura!
After all, they used to catch corrupt officials. Without any dignity, how could they make the corrupt officials in Jiangnan tremble in fear?
Guo Ziyi had warned Ding Xiang about this, but it was one thing to say. When she saw Guo Zhengyan in person and saw his eyes that were full of vicissitudes but seemed to be able to see through one's heart, Ding Xiang couldn't help but feel nervous.
"He's such a powerful person. Will I be seen through the moment I open my mouth?" Ding Xiang's hands trembled slightly. She could only place the cup of water on the coffee table beside her.
However, Guo Zhengyan's gaze only swept past her body. He was sizing up Yang Yi more.
Guo Ziyi was busy making introductions. He could only secretly comfort his sweetheart with his eyes. However, Ding Xiang had no time to care.
Guo Ziyi introduced Yang Yi, Murphy, and Mo Xiaojuan. Then, he pointed at Ding Xiang. "This is my manager, Ding Xiang. Actually, she's only one year older than me. Because Sister Xiaojuan found her, she joined Huayi Brothers' company! She's now mainly responsible for Yang Huan and my work arrangements. "
Guo Ziyi purposely didn't mention the word 'sister' in his introduction of Ding Xiang.
Guo Zhengyan nodded slightly. However, his habit of being a leader still made him ask in a deep voice, "One year older than you. That means she's only in her fourth year. Has Little Ding already dropped out of school to work? Or did you arrange something else? "
Ding Xiang was asked a question. All the preparations she had made could not stop her mind from going blank at this moment!
One second, two seconds … Ding Xiang was stunned and didn't respond.
Fortunately, Guo Ziyi didn't wait for a problem to arise. He raised his voice slightly and laughed. "It's like this. Ding Xiang hasn't put down her studies. Her manager job can only be considered a part-time job."
"It's an internship. When she graduates, she'll become a full-time manager." Mo Xiaojuan corrected him.
"How can she work and study at the same time?" Guo Zhengyan frowned with a serious expression.
Not to mention Ding Xiang, Guo Zhengyan also had a lot of complaints about Guo Ziyi not attending classes to record shows and shoot movies.
Ding Xiang finally came back to her senses. She tried her best to maintain a calm tone as she explained, "Uncle Guo, it's like this. After we reach our fourth year, we don't have a lot of homework. Moreover, the school and teachers are more demanding on our theses. I'll try my best to find time to write a good thesis. At the same time, I'll allocate my time reasonably and arrange for Guo Ziyi and Yang Huan's work."
Her methodical answer made him feel like he was in an interview …
But it had to be said that Guo Zhengyan quite liked it when others answered his questions clearly. Ding Xiang's answer made his frown slightly loosen.
"Dad, don't worry about Ding Xiang. She's a top student. For the past three years, she's been able to get the national scholarship from our school every year. Unlike me, who only got the first prize last year." Guo Ziyi appropriately bragged for Ding Xiang. "Now, she can even multitask three times without a problem. Two weeks ago, she took the manager's qualification test. She only revised for half a month and passed with full marks. Don't you think she's amazing?"
At this time, before Guo Zhengyan could say anything, Guo Ziyi's mother, Tan Huizhen, said, "Ziyi, she's your senior. How can you call her Ding Xiang? Even if she's your manager, as her junior, you shouldn't forget to respect others! "
Ding Xiang hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No need."
"Of course, this is basic etiquette! Ziyi, you can't look down on others just because you're a celebrity! "Guo Zhengyan's mother was indeed from a big family in Min Province. She was very strict when it came to such matters.
This scared Ding Xiang so much that she didn't dare to speak carelessly, and Guo Ziyi didn't dare to anger his mother either. He obediently called out, "Senior Ding Xiang."
At this time, Tan Huizhen's expression finally softened. She smiled and said to Ding Xiang, "Little Ding, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Ziyi. He's still a young child. If he does something wrong, you can point it out to him."
Tan Huizhen really treated Ding Xiang as Guo Ziyi's manager. But her smile made Ding Xiang feel a little flattered, and she hurriedly agreed.
However, this was just a small interlude. After that, Tan Huizhen nodded and didn't say anything else. Guo Zhengyan wouldn't pay too much attention to Ding Xiang. After all, the person he wanted to meet today was Yang Yi!
After introducing Ding Xiang, they sat down at the table. Ding Xiang sat beside Xi Xi and helped to take care of Xi Xi. She helped to put food in Xi Xi's bowl so that Yang Yi and Murphy could talk to Guo Zhengyan without any interference.
Guo Zhengyan almost didn't look at Ding Xiang again. He and Yang Yi simply talked about other things, and then they got to the main topic.
As the mayor of Jiangcheng City and a member of the leadership team of Jiangnan Province (Jiangcheng City was the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province), even if the director of Jiangnan TV Station didn't find him, Guo Zhengyan still hoped that Jiangnan TV Station could be as popular as Xiangnan TV Station.
"Jiangnan TV Station is a window for Jiangcheng City, and even the entire Jiangnan Province, to the people of the whole country, a showcase! If it's done well, Jiangnan's wonderful side to the people of the whole country can be seen by more people. Let me give you an example. Xiangnan TV Station is the best among the local TV stations in the country. It also tries its best to show Xiangnan's local characteristics, delicacies, and snacks in all its programs. Xiangnan's tourism industry also benefited from Xiangnan TV Station's promotion, which allowed it to develop rapidly!
Although Jiangnan TV Station is still above average among the local TV stations in the country, it still lacks a main program that can be brought out, and it also lacks some good and popular TV dramas. "
Guo Zhengyan was more direct with Yang Yi. He quickly said his request, "The director of Jiangnan TV Station found me. I just found out that you are the most popular program producer in the country, so can I trouble you to design a variety show for Jiangnan TV Station to broadcast on Jiangnan TV Station? Of course, just like your cooperation with Beijing TV Station and Shanghai TV Station, Jiangnan TV Station will do its best to provide you with the resources you need."
