Chapter 29: Dragon Dani, Addicted; Liu Tao Gives Up the Good Wife Persona! [Data Request]
The next day, the press conference for "Secrets of the Wife" was held at Mango TV.
Although this project wasn't considered a top priority at Mango TV, the male lead, Liu Wei, had gone viral with his videos, making it a project that received much attention.
Many leaders were present!
As per the agreement with Dragon Dani, Liu Wei still helped with the promotional activities for the show!
However, Liu Wei was not optimistic about the broadcast effect of "Secrets of the Wife."
The script was simply too average!
But his promotional tactics were jaw-dropping.
A very cheesy dance routine!
Everyone thought he would pull off some extreme challenge, but this was it?
Dragon Dani had been prepped beforehand, but she was still slightly embarrassed!
This dance was, amongst the plethora of candidates she had selected, the epitome of cliché, lacking any fashionable or avant-garde elements!
In a nutshell, it wasn't particularly innovative!
But it was brainwashing!
In Liu Wei's words, the more cheesy and smooth a dance is to learn, the easier it is to spread!
It was precisely this statement that swayed Dragon Dani!
Therefore, she agreed!
...
"Wei Ge, I feel like a clown!"
After the performance, Ying Bao whispered to Liu Wei and Wang Zhi as they exited the stage.
"You have a very earthy vibe, it suits you well."
Liu Wei replied.
"Wei Ge, you're annoying!"
Ying Bao nudged him with her shoulder.
"Wei Ge, didn't you say you didn't want to perform such cheesy stuff? You'd be treated like a clown, you even rejected Zhang Dao when he passed the message."
Wang Zhi said.
"Well, there's nothing I can do, their offer was just too good. From now on, they can come to Mango TV whenever they want, jump the queue, any variety show guest from Wei Mi Media will get priority… they have to eat and support their families, so me losing some face is nothing."
Liu Wei spoke with a righteous tone.
"Ha, I'm such a fool, I actually believed your attitude towards Zhang Dao. You were just using that to drive up the price, as long as the price is right, anything is negotiable."
Zhao Li Ying said.
"Let's go, we don't need to care how they edit and release it."
Liu Wei said.
"Wei Ge, this dance is undeniably addictive, but can it really drive traffic?"
Wang Zhi asked.
"Who knows?"
Liu Wei replied.
...
Eight o'clock at night.
Hotel bar.
Two women with undeniable charm were drinking.
One was alluring, with fiery red lips, sipping her drink slowly; the other was dressed more conservatively, with a simple makeup look, the epitome of a plain housewife style!
But at this moment, she was chugging her drink, showing an impressive level of boldness!
"You should savor your drinks, it's about the ambiance. You're being too wild with all that chugging, be careful of your health."
Xu Qing looked at Liu Tao with concern.
"Qing Jie, Wang Ke is such a beast. I admit, I initially chose him to fulfill my dream. But after marrying into a wealthy family, I jumped into a bottomless abyss!"
"But even though it was a bottomless abyss, I gritted my teeth and climbed up! I’ve almost cleared all his debts, little by little!"
"We were almost ready to clear the bank debt, just needed to pay it off in installments, we’d be free soon!"
"But I never expected that he, who I thought had finally turned over a new leaf and would act responsibly, would borrow a huge sum of money to gamble on stocks. Counting the newly added debt, I’ll have to work another two years!"
"You call him a human? How can he be so cruel?"
...
The good wife Tao cried as she spoke, drinking her drink.
She was wronged!
"You only have yourself to blame."
Xu Qing said.
"I'm to blame?"
Liu Tao was astonished. "Am I not good enough? I've paid off so much for him, I've done my part."
"You haven't gotten it yet. I'll say it straight, you care too much about what others think, you’re too obsessed with the good wife persona. This persona can now drag you into a bottomless abyss. I say, you need to drop this good wife persona as soon as possible, remove this shackle, then find a lawyer and divorce Wang Ke, escape that bottomless pit. Otherwise, you'll be dragged to death!"
Xu Qing said.
"Giving up the good wife persona, finding a lawyer for divorce…"
Liu Tao murmured to herself.
"You're on the verge of suffocation, what good wife persona are you still clinging to? Staying alive is the most important!"
Xu Qing said.
"Then should I use the variety show fee Mango paid me to pay off the debt?"
"Pay off what? Can you even pay it off? You pay this off and there's another one coming. You think you're a money printing machine?"
"…"
...
Dragon Dani's penthouse.
"I promised my artist that I’d take her shopping today. We’re in the middle of it, and you call me now? Is this appropriate?"
Liu Wei complained to Dragon Dani after he arrived.
"Wei Di, I miss you."
Dragon Dani said.
"Can you be more fake? We're just partners, benefiting from each other, there's no such thing as feelings."
Liu Wei frowned.
"I know, but even if I want to find a man, it will only be you. I can't forget yesterday."
Dragon Dani started to loosen her clothes.
"This is asking me to provide services for you."
"Does it matter? You don't have to take any responsibility anyway, I’m taking my medicine!"
…
After experiencing that ultimate beauty again, Dragon Dani felt she might get addicted.
"Help me pack, I need to leave, I have a flight tomorrow."
Liu Wei said.
"Why not stay here for the night? I'll take you to the airport early morning."
Dragon Dani said, while helping Liu Wei pack, she was incredibly attentive.
No one would imagine that the beautiful CEO of a large entertainment company would be so humble.
Seeing Dragon Dani’s performance, Liu Wei began to regret it!
He played too hard, and his masochistic tendencies were activated.
"The Level 3 dance is done, you've been marketing it for hours, how are the results?"
Liu Wei said.
"Based on the current feedback, it's very good, it has the potential to go viral. Wei Di, you're amazing, you actually created this addictive dance."
Dragon Dani said: "If it goes viral, it’ll definitely help Mango TV attract more viewers. My position will be even more secure then."
"Ha, you're so optimistic. I suggest you make preparations and have a backup plan."
"I will."
…
Liu Wei returned to the hotel, Yang Mi video called him.
Liu Wei immediately answered.
"Ah, hubby, why are you still in the hotel lobby?"
"Went out to stroll around the Xingcheng Night Market, just got back."
"Didn’t you go with Ying Bao and Wang Zhi?"
"We went in the afternoon, then we separated."
"Oh, hubby, when did you learn that dance? I have no memory of it. There are many bloggers online now who are following suit, it’s so addictive."
"Forgot to tell you, it was for Mango TV’s traffic, we discussed some collaboration…"
"Hubby, you're amazing, you can just throw something together and make a profit. I’ll treat you well when you get back!"
"I can’t tomorrow, I’m flying to Heilongjiang to visit the set of the "Taking Tiger Mountain" crew."
"I almost forgot, Xu Lao Gui’s invitation, you have to go, I'll wait for you to come back then."
"Okay."
…
After returning to his room, Liu Wei went to the bathroom to wash up.
Dragon Dani wanted to help him wash up, then change his clothes, but Liu Wei refused.
Yang Mi helped him prepare his clothes when he came, and if he brought another set back, he'd have to come up with an excuse, it's unnecessary.
Dong~
Dong~
Dong~
Liu Wei finished washing up and was about to rest when he suddenly heard rhythmic knocking on the door...
