My Wife is Obviously a Queen but She is too Virtuous

Chapter 18 - Assistant to the Master Planner

As soon as Lin Yao and the other five left, she immediately dialed Fang Xiaole's number.

At the moment, Fang Xiaole was studying some beginner's courses on variety show planning and directing that he had downloaded online.

Although it was easy to rely on his Earth memories to write the new planning for the three successive episodes of Super Challenge, Fang Xiaole still wanted to have the expertise about this line of work.

Unable to sing, he needed to set a new goal for himself.

That new goal was to become the head director of a big fire variety show and use that as a stepping stone to climb higher up the mountain.

Or how about finding a cure for his voice once he's higher up the ladder and has a wider network of contacts?

Fang Xiaole made up his mind, whether this new planning would work or not, he would continue to work towards this goal.

Ding Ding Ding.

The phone rang, Fang Xiaole picked up the phone, it was Li Guan.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this Director Li was also a workaholic, twice calling himself so late.

"Director Li, hello."

"Xiao Fang, your planning is approved, and tomorrow we will start the preparations for the second phase of the program recording."

Li Guan routinely did not have any hospitality and got straight to the point: "Come to the meeting in the station tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, oh, it's on the fifth floor, the conference room next to my office."

"I see, thank you Director Li."

Although he was prepared for it, Fang Xiaole was still a bit surprised, not expecting Li Guan to be so efficient.

"Oh right, you're now the assistant to the chief planner of Super Challenge."

Li Guan paused and added with a slight apology.

"Sorry, Fang, but you don't have the credentials for this, and even I can't make you chief planner all at once.

But don't worry, the signatures of these plans are all yours alone, which will become your seniority for future promotions."

"It's okay, I understand, thank you Director Li." Fang Xiaole was busy expressing his gratitude, he sensed that Li Guan's apology was not pretend.

The reality was also true, although Li Dongguan was the chief director, she had a director, assistant director and even a station director above her, it was already good enough to help him make the leap from temporary worker to assistant chief planner.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time and walk the road step by step.

What's more, Fang Xiaole's mind only remembered this variety show, and he still needed to find a method that could further pry open the treasure trove of memories.

Not long after the call with Li Guan ended, Hong Sanshi also called over, he had just learned that Fang Xiaole's planning had successfully passed and immediately called to congratulate him.

After a few words, Hong Sanshi still had a big night to shoot, so they agreed to meet again in a few days when the program was recorded.

Putting down the phone, Fang Xiaole found some books on variety show planning, scene setting and recording on the internet, and after a while, he found that most of them were floating in theory, without much practical significance.

Ding, continuous WeChat beeps sounded, it was from Hong Sanshi.

Fang Xiaole picked up the phone and took a look, startled for a moment, then somewhat moved.

What Hong Sanshi sent over was a video of lectures by several famous planners and directors in the variety circle, with a total of more than ten lessons.

Fang Xiaole had seen the introduction of these people on the internet, all of them were big names in the circle, I didn't expect that they actually made lecture videos specifically for this.

To the current Fang Xiaole, this was like a gift in snow.

"Brother Hong, thank you!!!"

"Saying thank you doesn't count, you have to buy dinner, and you're getting a promotion and a raise anyway, so it's not a bad deal."

"Okay, no problem!"

After meeting up with Fang Xiaole for dinner the next day of the recording, Hong Sanshi suddenly sent another message.

"By the way, your planning went through this time, and besides Li Guan and I, there's someone else to thank."

"Who?"

"Lin Yao, if it wasn't for her supporting your planning, you wouldn't have been able to pass the guest hurdle."

Hong Sanshi seemed to be bored as he was waiting for his scene on the set and sent a long voice, graphically recounting the thrilling process of voting for the five guests.

"I don't think she's helping me, but rather giving face to Hong and Director Li, right? Or maybe it's because my planning was really wonderful and moved her."

"Fuck Fang Xiaole, I usually see you as a serious person, but it turns out you're even shameless than me! No more, it's my turn to shine, bye!"

"........"

The next day, Fang Xiaole came to the Apple Terrace early in the morning.

"Fang is here, Xiao Su, you take Fang to the conference room first, I'll be right over."

Li Guan arrived before him and was looking at the details of the preparations, seeing Fang Xiaole arrive so early, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes and instructed Su Yu to take him to the conference room.

"Assistant Fang, this way please, your honour!"

Su Yu bounced over and mischievously made a gesture of invitation to Fang Xiaole.

"Then it's troublesome for you." Fang Xiaole smiled and followed behind her.

When she was farther away from Li Guan's office, Su Yu turned her head and smiled at Fang Xiaole, "It's the first time I've seen someone who was promoted as fast as you, sure enough my eyes were right!"

"Uh, I still have to thank you, Assistant Su, if it wasn't for your help on the day of the interview, maybe I wouldn't have been able to get into the show."

Fang Xiaole pretended not to understand certain meanings in Su Yu's words and sincerely expressed his gratitude.

"This is the end?"

Su Yu stared at her, looking very unsatisfied: "You're too stingy, not even buying a meal?"

"Of course you're invited, depending on when you're free, Assistant Su?"

"Well, I have to prepare for a major change in the content of the show in the next few days, so I'll definitely have to work overtime, or else..."

Su Yu tilted her head, her small index finger dotted in the air, "Just tentatively record the first night of the show?"

"Well, you're in charge!" Fang Xiaole readily agreed, just a little distressed about the precious study time.

The first day and night of the recording invited Su Yu to dinner, the second day of the recording invited Hong Sanshi to dinner, two days and nights no way to study ah.

See Fang Xiaole promised himself, Su Yu was very happy, humming a song along the way, the two soon came to the conference room.

After waiting for a while, people came in one after another, thinking that they were all people from the Super Challenge program.

Some of them were known to Fang Xiaole, such as Zhong Power and Luo Hui, who both came over to congratulate Fang Xiaole and chatted a little.

There were also some people that Fang Xiaole didn't know, such as a man who looked young but had white hair, who stared at Fang Xiaole without blinking his eyes as soon as he came in.

Is it because he had risen too fast and unintentionally blocked the way of others, so he was hated by others?

"His name is Zhang Zhi Qin, also from the planning team, and I heard that he was supposed to be the assistant to the chief planner, and..."

When Su Yu saw Fang Xiaole looking towards the white-haired youth, she suddenly looked excited and whispered in his ear.

"He's actually the deputy station manager's nephew."

At this moment, Li Guan walked into the conference room.

"We're pressed for time, let's get started here, we've called you all here today about the second phase of the program recording, before that, let me introduce a new colleague from the planning team to you."
