Chapter 17

On November 9th, Wang Zixuan finally ended his life as a homebody and went out accompanied by eight bodyguards.

In the past, only Wang Liangming had eight bodyguards, while Yu Suting, Wang Zihao, Wang Zixuan, and Liu Lin each had four. However, Wang Zixuan had been making quite a splash recently, so Wang Liangming decided to let him take eight bodyguards to avoid any unforeseen incidents.

(Wang Zixuan: How can I make a splash when I stay at home every day? Author: Who is the one posting on Weibo every day and attracting over a million followers?)

The Wang family, seeing Wang Zixuan's daily confidence, were all very curious about how he would turn things around.

What if he loses money?

The Wang family didn't really care.

To them, the value of entrepreneurship lies in the experience, not in profit or loss.

Therefore, no one in the Wang family tried to stop Wang Zixuan's extravagant behavior.

Although the press conference was in the afternoon, many media reporters and fans were already waiting near the Huaxia Grand Hotel early in the morning.

However, the Huaxia Grand Hotel knew that there would be a large number of celebrities attending, so they deployed a large number of security personnel to maintain order. Reporters and fans without invitations were kept outside the hotel.

As Wang Zixuan's Lamborghini Reventon approached the Huaxia Grand Hotel, it was immediately recognized, and a group of young girls started screaming.

"Husband, I love you."

"Husband, I love you."

...

Hearing the screams outside, Wang Zixuan was a bit stunned.

He thought that the fans outside should mostly be fans of stars like Zhang Xueyou. Although his Weibo followers had exceeded a million, he had only walked the red carpet once at the Basha Charity Night, so he didn't expect many people to come for him.

To his surprise, it seemed that a good portion of the crowd was there for him.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the girls outside, Wang Zixuan didn't dare to stop. He just rolled down the window, waved to the crowd, and drove inside.

"Husband, you're so handsome."

"Husband, you waved at me."

"Really like a prince!"

The reporters outside also started taking photos, capturing the girls' frenzied fangirl moments.

It was crazy. Just one red carpet walk and a show about extravagance had attracted so many fans.

...

At the hotel, the two Mercedes carrying the bodyguards hadn't even stopped when the doors opened, and six bodyguards quickly got out, forming a protective circle around Wang Zixuan's Lamborghini.

A few reporters who had been waiting for a long time tried to rush to Wang Zixuan's car to ask a few questions, but seeing the bodyguards' intimidating presence, they could only take photos from a distance.

Only a staff member from Evolution Media, with a work pass, approached and greeted Wang Zixuan respectfully: "President, good day!"

Tyrant President!

Isn't that cool?

Wang Zixuan got out of the car, feeling refreshed by the title. He smiled, nodded, and waved to the reporters held back by the bodyguards. Then, he left under the guidance of the company staff.

The six bodyguards escorted Wang Zixuan away, and the two bodyguards who had been driving also got out, preventing anyone from approaching Wang Zixuan's car.

Inside the hotel, Wang Zixuan encountered some reporters who had arrived early. However, with the bodyguards' protection, he didn't stop. He was directly led to the company's reserved lounge by the staff.

"President Wang."

Chen Zuming and a few stars who were already in Beijing or had arrived early were chatting. Seeing Wang Zixuan, they quickly stood up to greet him, changing their address from "Xiaoshao" to "President Wang."

"President Wang, good day."

Stars like Han Hong also stood up to greet the boss who was paying.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you."

Wang Zixuan smiled and shook hands with the familiar singers.

After a few pleasantries, Wang Zixuan sat in the main seat and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming to support me. If you're free tonight, let's go sing."

"No problem."

The straightforward Han Hong was the first to speak.

Yang Kun and others also agreed.

Wang Zixuan took out his phone and said with a smile, "Sister Han, let's take a selfie. I'll post it on Weibo?"

Han Hong laughed, "You post beautiful pictures. If you're not afraid of me ruining the shot, let's do it."

Wang Zixuan walked up to Han Hong and said with a smile, "Absolutely not afraid."

Wang Zixuan took a selfie with Han Hong and posted it on Weibo: "Envious? Here's a photo of me and Han Hong."

Han Hong, seeing Wang Zixuan's playful caption, laughed, "I'll post one too. Envious? Here's a photo of me and my husband."

"Ha ha."

Everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Zuming laughed, "Sister Han, be careful not to get attacked by the wife's club."

Han Hong, with a boss-like attitude, said, "I'll take them all down one by one."

Wang Zixuan then took selfies with Yang Kun and others, posting them on Weibo.

Seeing that Wang Zixuan had no airs, everyone chatted happily.

Stars from other cities also arrived one after another, guided to the lounge by the reception staff arranged by Chen Zuming.

At noon, Chen Zuming invited Wang Zixuan and the stars to a private room that had been arranged in advance for lunch.

To avoid the trouble of separate tables, Chen Zuming arranged a large table that could seat twenty people, just enough for the four mentors and the dozen or so judges who had come to support the show.

Wang Zixuan naturally sat in the main seat. The stars, after some polite exchanges, all sat down. Chen Zuming took the menu from the waiter and asked, "Does anyone have dietary restrictions?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Chen Zuming, holding the menu, walked to Wang Zixuan and said with a smile, "Please, President Wang, you choose first."

Wang Zixuan took the menu and ordered the two most expensive dishes, saying with a smile, "Everyone has come from far away, so we must show our utmost sincerity. In the future, we will provide the best conditions for everyone. When you're comfortable, work is easier. To put it bluntly, as long as it can be solved with money, please don't hesitate to ask."

Wang Zixuan's words put no pressure on anyone.

However, Chen Zuming felt a bit uneasy.

To show sincerity, all the stars' fees had been paid in advance.

His annual salary was ten million, the four mentors' fees totaled forty million, Hong Tao's was twenty million, and Hua Shao's five-year contract was twenty-five million. The thirty-plus judges and some behind-the-scenes staff found by Hong Tao also received twenty million.

The company's office and shooting locations were rented from the Hengshi Group, but the rent had to be paid in advance, costing ten million.

Wang Zixuan had provided Chen Zuming with a Rolls-Royce, and the company had bought five Mercedes-Benz vans and a few other vehicles. The costs for buying cars, office decoration, and other miscellaneous expenses totaled fifteen million.

Since Wang Zixuan planned to broadcast the show soon, Hong Tao had already taken fifty million to the United States to purchase stage equipment.

The company's account now had less than ten million left.

This was before even signing a deal with a TV station, which would cost another fourteen million for ten episodes.

The rule set by the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television was that a show could not exceed ten episodes, and each episode could not exceed ninety minutes. Of course, CCTV was an exception, like the Star Avenue.

In other words, the company's two hundred million had not only been spent but also resulted in a few million deficit.

This was just the preparation for announcing the show's launch.

There were still many things to do, such as organizing the auditions in various cities.

Fortunately, he was friends with many of the stars, and others would not make things difficult for him out of respect for his father.

However, hearing Wang Zixuan's big talk, Chen Zuming was worried. The stars' demands would certainly increase.

The stars, seeing Wang Zixuan's openness, were very impressed.

Han Hong laughed, "President Wang is truly generous."

Wang Zixuan ordered a few dishes and passed the menu to the mentor, saying, "Mentor, what would you like?"

Terry Tao, being the senior, didn't refuse. He looked at the menu, ordered a dish, and passed it to the next person, Zhang Xueyou.

The menu went around the table.

Wang Zixuan then said, "Since everyone has come to support me, I should toast you all. However, we have a press conference later, so we won't drink white wine. Let's have some red wine now, and we can drink more tonight."

Everyone naturally agreed.

Chen Zuming, however, was sweating. Seeing Wang Zixuan's style, he knew that after tonight's reception, the company's account would be empty.

This wasn't how things should be done.

Announcing the project's launch today, and the company running out of money tomorrow!

Wang Zixuan thought two hundred million should last for a while. He hadn't been checking the company's finances recently. After asking the waiter about the best red wine, which was 1982 Château Lafite, he ordered five bottles.

During the meal, Chen Zuming again demonstrated his social skills, always finding topics of interest to everyone, and the atmosphere in the room was very good.

After a lively conversation, it was already past 2 PM. Chen Zuming said, "It's getting late. Everyone can go back to their rooms to rest. I'll have the staff come to invite you later. Please bear with us for any inconvenience."

Some of the stars had flown for hours and needed to rest, while others needed to touch up their makeup. They all left with their assistants.

After seeing off the stars, Chen Zuming finally had time to speak to Wang Zixuan, "Xiaoshao, there's only a few million left in the company's account. After tonight's reception, the company might have to shut down tomorrow."

Wang Zixuan was a bit surprised, "It's spent so quickly?"

Chen Zuming was about to give Wang Zixuan a detailed account.

Wang Zixuan, however, put his arm around Chen Zuming's shoulder, "We're not short of money. I'll transfer another hundred million to the company account tomorrow. Don't worry about the money. Everyone needs to be happy to work better in the future!"

Good boss.

Good friend.

Spender!

Chen Zuming was completely in awe of Wang Zixuan.
