On the Show

Lin Qi left after 9 p. m. Wo Delike should have shown the noble qualities of a host who considers the needs of his guest; he should have tried to invite Lin Qi to stay overnight in his house.

It was getting late, and leaving at this time wouldn't be in accordance with social etiquette.

In the past, transportation was inconvenient and society was not as stable as it is now. Walking at night was a very dangerous activity, whether by horse-drawn carriage, driving a car, or on foot. Therefore, as soon as it got dark, the hosts would ask the guests to stay in their houses overnight to avoid danger.

Although these dangers do not exist in modern society, this etiquette has remained. It is basically a symbolic inquiry, and guests may not be willing to stay in the host's house.

But Wo Delike didn't offer any polite attempts to persuade him to stay. He was a little unsure of Lin Qi's intentions. What if Lin Qi actually decided to stay? He had just turned down his precious daughter, and if the two met again tomorrow morning, something else might happen.

So he smiled and watched Lin Qi leave with a "you'd better hurry up and go" look, without saying a word to stop him. Only after watching Lin Qi's car drive away did he turn around and go back to his room, and then went to Sai Weiruila's room.

At this moment, he also complained to the housekeeper, "Our building should have an elevator. I know some people think that a building like this shouldn't have an elevator, but look, I'm getting old, and climbing stairs is really too tiring!"

The housekeeper said they would arrange for someone to do these things as soon as possible, including designing a new renovation plan and installing the elevator.

When he got to the fourth floor and saw her in Sai Weiruila's room, she looked like she had just been crying, and as a father, he certainly wanted to comfort his precious daughter.

"You shouldn't be sad for someone who doesn't like you. No one else will be sad for you except me and your mother." Wo Delike, though a big man, was quite adept at such "family" talk.

Sai Weiruila shook her head and looked at her father. "No, I'm not sad because Lin Qi rejected me. What saddens me is that good people are willing to tarnish their reputations to stay away from me, while those who just want to get me pregnant and become your son-in-law are lining up outside like stray dogs looking for opportunities."

"I'm sad for myself. The good people don't even look at me. The only people who would want me are stray dogs!"

This statement successfully silenced Wo Delike for a moment. "When people are sad, they are very emotional and their perspective on things is also very strange. You don't need to belittle yourself like this."

"It's his loss if he doesn't choose you, not yours!" Wo Delike had no intention of discussing this issue with the emotional Little Girl.

However, Sai Weiruila's counterattack was swift and at a tricky angle. "I only saw him leave with a smile on his face, while I could only sit here and cry. I'm not sure whose loss this is!"

"Uh... okay, looks like you need to calm down now..." He raised his hands in surrender. Only after Sai Weiruila calmed down could he continue to talk to her about this issue, otherwise he would be driven crazy!

To prevent Sai Weiruila from doing anything unimaginable, Wo Delike left the room, leaving the Head Maid in the room.

On their way back to their rooms, both of them were filled with emotion.

As the lady of the room, Wo Delike's wife said softly, "Actually, Lin Qi did quite well..."

In this circle, only a very few people can remain clean; most are extremely complicated. For example, her brothers are beyond complicated—they are utterly chaotic.

Compared to those chaotic individuals who have no redeeming qualities, Lin Qi actually scored very high.

Wo Delike shook his head. "It's not that simple. Lin Qi will have his own group of people, and so will we. You're oversimplifying some complicated things. Have you forgotten what happened when we first got married?"

At this point, his wife recalled, "I'm sorry, I did oversimplify things. It was just that seeing her crying over there made me, as a mother, very sad."

"She will be alright, because she is my daughter!"

In the early days of Wo Delike and his wife's marriage, the two families behind them argued and even attacked each other over who should lead the new family.

Of course, Wo Delike remains the leader, but what about the Board of Directors members and the Chairman of the Board for those companies?

How should the heads of each industry be arranged? If one team becomes two teams, how should those redundant people be dealt with?

One wrong move could lead to very troublesome changes, shaking the foundation of this new family. Fortunately, Wo Delike has excellent means to solve these problems, but if they still choose to form a powerful alliance for Sai Weiruila, such a thing will surely happen in the end.

Lin Qi's domineering nature would never allow anyone who wasn't his to enter the core of his inner circle. In other words, those trustworthy people around Wo Delike Sai Weiruila are likely to be ostracized and suppressed by Lin Qi's faction, and this could even lead to fierce conflicts.

If these people can't beat Lin Qi's men, then Sai Weiruila can't bring them "justice," and it's quite obvious that their daughter is no match for Lin Qi.

Therefore, the business empire that Wo Delike built up over his lifetime could very well collapse in a very short time.

Those who possess the group's core secrets will leave in droves, joining the camps of their former rivals or starting their own businesses. Wo Delike's brand will eventually disappear, which is exactly what Wo Delike least wants to see.

So he had thought from the beginning that Sai Weiruila's husband could come from a prominent family, but he couldn't be too outstanding or too domineering in suppressing Sai Weiruila. Only in this way could the part that belonged to him and her continue to be passed down.

Actually, what Sai Weiruila said earlier was quite right. Excellent people should stay away from her, otherwise they will only be suppressed by Wo Delike and trained to be docile, like Du Lin.

Only those who think about living a life of leisure, being rich and idle without having to do anything, yet possessing a prestigious surname, are her best destiny.

His wife wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.

Wo Delike can be quite stubborn at times. He has been successful countless times over the years, which has made him stubborn, because he is always right and he has a mysterious confidence in his own judgment.

The following day, Lin Qi's photo appeared on the front page of major newspapers. A young man had amassed a fortune of 10 billion Galil in just two years, enough to shake the entire Federal.

Even if 10 billion Galil is only worth around 80 to 90 million Federal Sol, frankly speaking, who has ever seen so much money piled up together? Five shipping containers filled to the brim with money that's practically overflowing!

It's money!

The media frenzy was predictable, with some outlets digging up every single thing Lin Qi had ever done in the past, starting with his all-or-nothing gamble that the relationship between the Federal and Gefra would undergo a radical change, which led to his successful purchase of War Bonds at rock-bottom prices.

Each of his business plans possesses an incredible magical power, like God's illegitimate child. Although there are times when he loses money, the number of times he loses money is so small that it can be completely ignored compared to his profits.

Major media outlets, Television Station, and program planning teams are all frantically inviting Lin Qi, hoping Lin Qi can appear on their shows.

The most popular talk show on the largest Television Station in the Federal offered Lin Qi a fee of 600,000 to appear on the less than two-hour talk show.

Of course, this is also related to the crazy spending of some Naming Rights and advertisers. As long as they can invite Lin Qi to participate in the program, some advertisers who have cooperation with the Television Station are willing to cover a large part of the cost! After selection, Lin Qi decided to participate in some programs and interviews, such as the most authoritative magazine in all fields, "The Tidal Wave", and the most famous talk show in the Federal, "Oula Ninety Minutes".

Based on proximity and time, Lin Qi first participated in the program "Oula Ninety Minutes".

The host is a presenter known by the stage name "Oula," who is said to have a powerful background, coming from a Political Family.

Because she has a strong background and is not afraid of anyone's dissatisfaction with her, she never considered "letting go" of the guests when she started preparing for the show.

She would ask some very tricky questions, some very embarrassing questions, to expose the masks of big names or tear open their scars.

The male guest throwing down his microphone and storming off the set, and the female guest breaking down in tears, have become the biggest highlights of the show.

With her powerful connections, she wasn't afraid of being targeted. Her connections also made it impossible for people to refuse her invitations. In just six months, the show became the most popular program in the Federal. People loved watching these big shots show their vulnerable side on the show.

At 8:45 p. m., Lin Qi arrived at the studio. He would be on the show in about 20 minutes.

Nine to eleven o'clock is the prime time for programming, and most of the major programs are scheduled during this time slot to compete with other Television Station for viewership.

To maximize the show's impact, the program Lin Qi participated in was Live Broadcast. If a Live Broadcast mishap occurred, commercials might be inserted, but there would be absolutely no opportunity to make changes.

Showing viewers the most authentic side of people is one of the characteristics of this program. Compared to pre-recorded crying and angry walkouts, what happens Live Broadcast is much more credible.

Just before going on stage, the show's Director approached Lin Qi and said, "Mr. Lin Qi, I must tell you again that we have no script, no plan, no teleprompter; it's all a very natural interview."

"If you encounter a question you can't answer, you can refuse to answer..." He paused, seemingly a little worried, "Sometimes the host will try to provoke you, don't fall for it!"
