Chapter 395: Attending the Program Team’s Celebration Banquet!

Wang Yun looked at him with a face full of disgust.

This guy had been acting a little off since yesterday. Probably got led astray by that Xiong Sheng.

Just as Wang Yun was rolling his eyes at Brother Hu, the sound of knocking came from the door.

When he opened it, it was Director Zhou.

This was Wang Yun’s first time meeting Director Zhou. Of course, the thing he was most familiar with was his voice, and he also knew him as the executive producer.

Likewise, it was also Director Zhou’s first time meeting Wang Yun in person.

During the initial auditions, even in the final stages, they had only seen his photo.

After all, this was a survival show. Every aspect had to ensure true privacy. Even the director himself wasn’t allowed to meet the participants in advance.

“Mr. Wang, Mr. Xiao Gang, Mr. Hu—this is the chief director of our show, Director Zhou.”

The person speaking was the same staff member who had knocked earlier. His face was full of excitement, and he looked thrilled. He had personally volunteered to guide Director Zhou here, just for a chance to see Wang Yun a few more times.

Now that Wang Yun was dressed in formalwear, he was even more dazzling—making the staffer’s heart pound even harder.

“Director Zhou…?”

After the introduction, there was a full ten-second pause, and Director Zhou still hadn’t said a word.

Looking up, he saw that Director Zhou was staring, eyes wide in shock, as if he were looking at an international superstar.

His gaze was full of amazement—undisguised—as he looked directly at Wang Yun.

Wang Yun, on the other hand, had a faint smile, but seeing Director Zhou’s expression, he was a little confused.

“Ah! Oh oh! Brother Wang! Big Brother, this is our first time meeting, and you’ve really exceeded all my expectations!”

Startled by the staff member’s voice, Director Zhou finally snapped out of it.

He immediately bent over, face full of flattery and intense excitement. He looked like he wanted to bow ninety degrees right there and then.

This made the staff member beside him look completely unsurprised. Even the experienced, seen-it-all Director Zhou of the entertainment world couldn’t stay calm after seeing Wang Yun in person!

Wang Yun had just extended his hand when Director Zhou immediately grabbed it with both of his.

“Director Zhou, you’re too kind. Sorry for causing trouble during this period,” Wang Yun said politely.

Director Zhou quickly shook his head, shaking it like a rattle drum.

“No trouble at all! Not trouble at all! I’m your number one fan now, Big Brother. I just didn’t expect that not only are you incredibly smart, but you’re also this handsome. Even someone like me, who’s been hailed as a pillar of the industry, feels ashamed in front of you.”

After saying this, Director Zhou even adjusted his hair self-consciously.

This made everyone burst into laughter, and the mood instantly became much more relaxed.

Wang Yun waved his hand. Director Zhou truly lived up to being a director.

“Director Zhou, you flatter me. You’re also much younger than I imagined. It’s just your voice—that raspy sound from smoking made me misjudge.”

After speaking, Wang Yun pulled out a Huazi cigarette.

Director Zhou received it with honor, then made a gesture of invitation.

“Big brother, the celebration banquet is about to start soon, so I’ll get straight to the point. The schedule is very simple. Most of the attendees are journalists and media friends. I’ve already spoken with them. The Q&A will only last ten minutes. After that, you can eat and drink as you please at the banquet. Just answer whatever you feel like. If there’s a question you don’t want to answer, just look at Xiao Feng. He’ll handle it for you.”

With just a few sentences, Director Zhou explained the entire process clearly.

When he finished, he let out a breath of relief, looking at Wang Yun nervously. He was afraid that he might refuse to attend the celebration banquet.

Even after watching Wang Yun through the live stream, despite all his experience with people, Director Zhou still couldn’t fully grasp his personality.

Wang Yun might seem unrestrained and ruthless in action, yet when it came to his brothers, he was loyal and would go to great lengths for them.

It was exactly this unpredictable behavior that earned him so many devoted fans.

Wang Yun simply nodded.

Then scooted a bit to the side.

This Director Zhou was sitting way too close to him.

So close, in fact, that he was starting to feel uncomfortable.

Was it his own problem, or had the world changed?

How come in just a month’s time, everyone seemed to look at him with this wolfish glint in their eyes?

Especially that attendee across from him—that look in his eyes, like he wanted to eat him alive.

“No problem. I’ll fully cooperate. After all, it was you who made all of this possible for me.”

Director Zhou was so shocked that he immediately covered his mouth, making an exaggerated face.

“Big Brother actually… thinks so highly of me? No, no, no, we made this happen together. Originally, your prize for surviving this month was 350 million, but due to the global impact you’ve brought, I discussed with the higher-ups. The sponsors also agreed, so we’re rounding it up and giving you a clean 400 million. Also, we’ve selected a home for you in Magic City and a car as well. Once the banquet’s over, we’ll take you there.”

Director Zhou spoke with reddened eyes, and as he did, his body leaned unconsciously closer to Wang Yun.

His cheeks were flushed, and he seemed strangely flustered.

When Wang Yun heard what he said, he was a bit pleasantly surprised.

No denying it—the production team was quite generous.

Four hundred million, plus a home and a car. All in the span of a month.

That was more than enough!
