On the eighth floor of “If You Are the One” program venue.
“Brother Hao, you’re simply amazing!” Xia Xueqi showed a face full of admiration and praised, “It’s like magic, just in such a short time we’ve already got about twenty calls. We can surely select five or six qualified ones from these, hehe!”

“Why even ask,” Wang Hao smiled and took a sip of water, “When people start arriving later, we really need to scrutinize carefully this time. Male guests are very important, the levels need to be high and low, they must be more or less appropriate.”
As they were speaking, the first man to apply had already arrived, and as soon as he entered he said, “Hello, teachers, my name is Jiang Shiming, and I’m here to apply for the male guest!”
“Alright, please take a seat first,” Wang Hao had Jiang Shiming sit down and then took a brief look at him. Overall, his appearance was quite acceptable and he seemed well-dressed, probably meeting the necessary criteria, potentially even exceeding expectations. He immediately smiled and asked, “Where are you from? Can you tell us about your job and age?”
“I’m a local from Zhonghang,” mentioning this made Jiang Shiming quite proud, he laughed and said, “I own two companies myself, with an annual income of about three million. I’m twenty-seven, thinking it’s about time to find a partner, so when I heard the broadcast, I rushed over here.”
“Not bad at all,” Wang Hao nodded with a smile, and then pointed to a large billboard nearby, “There are thirty-six female guests over there. The first twenty-four are ready to appear in this episode. Take a look and see if you like any of them. If there are no problems, go register with my assistant.”
Hearing that all the female guests were over there, Jiang Shiming hurried over to take a look.
He hadn’t seen the promotional vehicle clearly before, but this time he definitely wanted a good look!
“Let me see, let me see!” Jiang Shiming carefully looked them over from top to bottom, his eyes sparkling, “The conditions of these ladies are very good, and they’re all very attractive. Okay, I like some! So, teacher, I officially want to sign up for the show. When does the recording start?”
“Go back and wait for notification. Also, in the next couple of days, I will assign someone to contact you to shoot some short videos to be played during the show,” Wang Hao stood up and stretched out his hand, “I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation.”
“No problem at all,” Jiang Shiming hurriedly extended his hand, “Then I’ll go back and get ready.”
After Jiang Shiming successfully registered and left to prepare, Wang Hao started to interview the next candidate.
After all, for a two-hour program, at least six to eight male guests were needed. So this time, Wang Hao directly selected twelve people to avoid the situation of someone being unavailable at the last minute.
The interview process went very smoothly. Wang Hao selected those with decent looks and acceptable conditions from various industries. Once everyone was selected, Xia Xueqi began to report the basic data to Wang Hao—
“Brother Hao, there are twelve people, and all their basic data is here.”
“Jiang Shiming, profession: company owner, age: twenty-seven. Xia Bo, profession: doctor, age: thirty-two. Jia Hao, profession: sports teacher, age: twenty-nine…”
After Xia Xueqi listed the data of all the selected male guests, Wang Hao listened and nodded in satisfaction, “Well, these people are fine. We have a variety of professions, which should meet the requirements of most female guests.”
Now that the selection was completed, the next steps were mainly about the venue and shooting videos for the male guests.
…
TV station building, the director’s office.
Meng Fei stood in front of Director Liu Qisheng’s desk, his face full of nervousness.
“Little Meng, this time I’ve arranged for you to join the ‘If You Are the One’ program team. Do your best and don’t embarrass me.” Liu Qisheng instructed carefully, “The concept of this program is very good, I can almost guarantee the ratings will not be low! When they mentioned needing a host, I thought of you immediately, as we’re all comrades from the station, we should look out for each other. I think if you perform well this time, your popularity will see a significant boost.”
Hearing Liu Qisheng’s words, Meng Fei was moved to tears. His previous program had low ratings and was canceled, and he had thought he might be out of a job. Who would have thought that there would be a light at the end of the tunnel? He immediately expressed his stance, “I promise not to let you down, Director!”
“Good, as long as you understand.” Liu Qisheng patted Meng Fei vigorously on the shoulder and smiled, “Go for it!”
As they were speaking, suddenly, someone knocked on the office door.
Then, a young man burst into the room, drenched in sweat and exclaimed as soon as he entered, “Director Liu, there’s a problem!”
“What’s with the panic?” Liu Qisheng frowned, “Didn’t you see I was in the middle of something?”
“It’s like this,” the young man said anxiously, “Professor Wei Chengtian from the ‘Talk About the Three Kingdoms’ program has been hospitalized with appendicitis! Now the program has no host, what should we do?!”
“What did you say?!” Liu Qisheng stood up with a swoosh and said, “Appendicitis? This program is being broadcast live, isn’t it?”
“Yes!” The young man said, “Mr. Liu, please think of something quickly!”
Liu Qisheng paced anxiously around the room, saying as he paced, “How am I supposed to think of something now? Where can I find the right person?!”
No wonder he was so anxious. With the host out with an emergency, and the program being a live broadcast, handling it poorly could cause big problems for the audience present and the television program’s schedule!
This program was supposed to last an hour, and you couldn’t just fill it with commercials—you couldn’t possibly play commercials for an entire hour, could you?
“Mr. Liu,” Meng Fei asked cautiously, “How about I take over?”
“No way,” Liu Qisheng shook his head decisively, “There are guests in the audience who will tear you apart. If you go up, they will grill you with a few questions. What do we do now?”
For a moment, the three of them were like headless flies, completely at a loss.
Suddenly, Meng Fei’s eyes lit up and he said, “Right, Mr. Liu, I’ve heard that Wang Hao is really incredible. ‘Domestic Agent’ had a viewership break six hundred million. Why don’t you ask him if he has any ideas? At the very least, it would be one more person helping us think of a solution, right?”
“Wang Hao…” Liu Qisheng stroked his chin, then nodded fiercely, “A drowning man will clutch at a straw.”
Having thought it, Liu Qisheng immediately called Wang Hao, “Is this Wang Hao? Where are you right now… at our station? Oh, that’s great. Come to my office quick. Yes, yes, yes, I need a little favor, it’s urgent!”
After hanging up, Liu Qisheng turned to Meng Fei and the staff member, smiling and saying, “He said he’ll be here soon.”
Wang Hao arrived quickly, and as he entered he smiled and said, “Mr. Liu, what’s the situation?”
“It’s like this,” Liu Qisheng pulled Wang Hao to sit down first and said, “There’s a program at the station, a live broadcast, but the problem is the host has appendicitis and is hospitalized, and we don’t have a good solution for the moment, we can’t find a suitable person to replace. Brother Hao, I know you are resourceful. Do you think there’s any good way to cover this program?”
“Missing a host?” Wang Hao scratched his head, “What program is it?”
“Talk About the Three Kingdoms!” Liu Qisheng said anxiously, “The instructor can’t make it, and we are worried. Either we find a powerful instructor to temporarily step in and we’ll replace him next week, or we simply cancel this program and switch to another one.”
“Well,” Wang Hao thought for a moment, “It’s just a program talking about the Three Kingdoms, right? This is simple. I have nothing else today, so helping you out a bit should be no problem.”
When Wang Hao had finished speaking, Liu Qisheng and Meng Fei looked at each other.
Brother Hao knows about the Three Kingdoms?
“Wang Hao, are you sure you won’t have any problems?” Liu Qisheng asked cautiously, “There are quite a few professors in the audience, if you slip up and they catch you off guard, that would be embarrassing…”
What a joke, having been strengthened by the Dust bead after going through Cao Cao’s Tomb, not to mention being able to completely remember what Yi Zhongtian talked about in the Three Kingdoms, now I could even recite a lot of unofficial history!
“How could I,” Wang Hao said with a grin, “Don’t worry. Where’s the studio? I’ll go take a look now. I have nothing else to do with my kung fu right now, might as well go chat a bit.”
Liu Qisheng: “…”
Meng Fei: “…”
Is this really okay?
“I’ll also go,” Meng Fei bit his teeth, “It’s our first collaboration, and I did study history in university after all. I know quite a bit about the history of the Three Kingdoms. If we do it together, I think it should work out fine.”
“This…” Liu Qisheng pondered for a moment, then immediately nodded, “Alright, just remember, strive for no faults rather than merits, and somehow cover this one hour!!”
“Alright, we are going now!”
