Chapter 52: Ratings are up for grabs if you want them

All the guests participating in the “Journey Together” Program Team showed their support by flocking to Tang Shu’s Weibo.

It was truly beyond the netizens’ expectations.

After many passersby were confused, a strong sense of curiosity suddenly rose in their hearts.

“Why do I feel like this Tang Shu is quite likable, or is it just my imagination?”

“There could be two reasons why so many guests are standing up for her. One is that her background is truly impressive, to the point that even celebrities have to show respect. The other possibility… could it be that she really has the prowess?”

“Folks above, I have to say, compared to the second point, I’d rather believe she has a powerful backer.”

“If it’s the latter, then that’s really scary because she’s still a newcomer!”

However, at this time, whether people chose to believe the first or the second reason, they were filled with interest for this episode of “Journey Together.”

“Stop guessing, someone experienced already told you, you can never fully understand a girl’s mind no matter how much you speculate. Just watch ‘Journey Together’ tonight and call it a day!”

“I’ve got to say, the guy above is right on the money. If Tang Shu really does have some big shot behind her, I’m even more curious about how Director Lin and the other guests will act all cautious around her, hehehe~~~”

“Whoa, dude above, your thoughts are kind of pervy, man. I can even visualize it!”

“Must watch, I’ve got to contribute a little bit to the viewership ratings for ‘Journey Together’ tonight!”

…

On Saturday evening, the news about the upcoming broadcast of “Journey Together” spread like wildfire, pushing the trending boycott of “Heroes in Troubled Times” down to second place.

Even Director Xie surprisingly retweeted that Weibo post but didn’t comment a single word.

Netizens love watching the spectacle unfold and started teasing in the comments section of the latest post.

“Director Xie, it’s about time, can you secretly tell us what Tang Shu’s background is?”

“Right, just tell us secretly. We won’t spread it around!”

Not spread it around?

I trust you for nothing!

Director Xie, who was busy preparing for the movie’s opening ceremony, casually handed his phone to his assistant and went on with his own business.

Meanwhile, Director Zhang of “Happy Together” and the three hosts looked at the trending searches with a bitter smile, their hearts a mix of emotions.

“What should we do? ‘Journey Together’s broadcast time is the same as ours.”

These two different variety shows have one airing on Saturday night at eight o’clock, and the other on the same night at nine o’clock, each lasting an hour and a half.

This means that there will be a half-hour overlap.

It’s a competition for viewership ratings.

Director Zhang pulled a wry face, feeling speechless, yet he didn’t let his guard down.

“Don’t be afraid! Our editing this episode is also very good. Even if ‘Journey Together’ is trending high, they’ll need to rely on real strength to snatch viewers away from us!”

So what if they’re trending high? Their program team isn’t to be underestimated either. Did they think viewership ratings are so easy to snatch away?

Having mixed it up in the industry for so many years, he had absolute confidence in himself!

However… uncontrollably, Director Zhang’s mind was suddenly flooded with the image of Tang Shu’s unflappable little face, making his expression even more conflicted.

“Alright, perhaps you’re right, Director Zhang. We should have confidence.”

Teacher Pan nodded solemnly, not sure whether he was comforting himself or the other, then turned to pull out his script and began to memorize it urgently.

Hopefully, the viewership ratings tonight wouldn’t fail.

This was the first time that the “Happy Together” Program Team doubted their ratings so much!

Ancient village, sunset in the west.

Since the arrival of the two groups of people at the destination, the plan had been to split into two teams.

Jing Yu led the legal affairs group, with Mayor Min accompanying, to discuss the cooperation agreement with the village chief.

Meanwhile, Tang Shu and the extremely curious Xie Yunzhen went directly to an area with “wild grass” on the outskirts of the village to start processing the Exquisite Plant.

As for the Exquisite Plants inside the village, before an agreement of cooperation was made, the two did not intervene.

“If you ask me, even if we harvest these medicinal herbs without considering the villagers’ opinions, it wouldn’t be a big deal! These Exquisite Plants are just weeds in their eyes anyway!”

Xie Yunzhen failed to comprehend Jing Yu’s “unnecessary” actions, “Legally speaking, these Exquisite Plants aren’t even the villagers’ property.”

Tang Shu, who was focused on handling the medicinal materials, glanced at him indifferently.

“Do you even know the medicinal properties of the Exquisite Plant?”

“I’ve heard my grandfather mention it, so I know a bit. Please, although I’m not a professional in Chinese medicine, I do have common sense.”

“Is that so?”

Tang Shu cast a doubtful look at his clumsy efforts to help,

It was clearly the technique of an Outer Sect Member handling medicinal herbs.

Even a novice on their first day at Tang Sect would handle them better than he did.

“Since you know about the medicinal properties of the Exquisite Plant, you should understand its importance. According to you, legally we could harvest at will, but have you considered how the villagers would view us?”

“But they can’t do anything about it, can they?”

And it wasn’t like they were resorting to robbery or plunder.

Having finished his task, Xie Yunzhen slumped to the ground.

He truly wasn’t adept at processing medicinal materials, but… the way this overly young girl worked was really familiar!

It’s said that she was an expert invited by his grandfather from Imperial Capital Medical University, could she really be a first-year student?

After a day together, her impression on him deepened with each interaction, and Xie Yunzhen had received more than one shock.

Tang Shu plucked an Exquisite Plant, twisted its leaves with her hands, and after processing, placed it in the cloth bag she carried.

“Haven’t you considered that Cloudscape Group might have competitors? Only by having things in our possession can we be most secure.”

Tang Shu had been raised as an heir since she came of age, and by the age of fifteen she could manage Tang Sect’s affairs in good order.

In this matter, she strongly agreed with Jing Yu’s approach.

If this era cared so much about legal constraints, then it truly was a weapon worth using.

At her words, Xie Yunzhen paused, his right hand smeared with dirt as he scratched his nest-like black hair, his expression revealing a flash of understanding.

“So that’s how it is… I just hadn’t thought that someone else would discover this remote ancient village.”

Tang Shu picked up her cloth bag and stood up, “Let’s go, they’re back.”

Not far away, a team of elite individuals dressed in suits approached, accompanied by several familiar villagers.

With one look, Tang Shu recognized the old village chief who had hosted the Program Team last time.

Both parties were talking and laughing, seeming to have reached an agreement satisfactory to both sides.
