Famous celebrities will be invited to attract audience rating.
As for the high-ranking officials in the government, fear and worry started to build up within them.
“Mr. Field, the Gala Night is about to go live. At that time, will it…” the Director of Lake City TV Station anxiously rubbed his hands. If the audience rating of the show went south, his bonus and other work benefits would be affected as well.
More importantly, reputation would be jeopardized.
Reputation in the media industry is of paramount importance.
Take a not-to-be-named TV station as an example. Last year, there was an unfortunate incident regarding the sudden death of an ailing guest during the recording of a variety show.
The TV station was later referred to by the public as the murder station. The internet army called for boycott over the station and their reputation went down the drain.
Besides, the TV station was even sanctioned by the State.
The director and higher-ups of the station were removed from their position.
Incidents like these caused immense regret and frustration.
It was a human life after all!
The director’s anxiety amplified.
Although he was not worried about matters of life and death, he was concerned with reputation! If Lake City TV station failed to live up to the expected standards again, it would be a laughing stock in the industry.
Furthermore, the viewers would be deeply disappointed and it would affect the audience rating of other shows as well.
The success of the Gala Night was of great pertinence.
If the station managed to rise up from the ashes, then he would not have much to worry about anymore.
On the flip side, if things went downhill, crying would be the least of his problems.
Looking at the confident look of Mr. Field, the director’s heart started beating more rapidly.
“Yes, Director Smith accurately points out that we cannot mess up this time. Let’s invite one or two top idols or actors to support the Gala Night,” one minister suggested.
Mr. Field dismissed his suggestion while letting off a grin, “Small matters like these can be left in the hands of Ashlyn. Don’t worry about it. Your job is to focus and enjoy the show at the front row tonight!”
Everyone was speechless.
How much does Mr. Field trust Ashlyn that amateur?
Ashlyn is involved in everything!
Is she capable of managing it well?
She is merely a woman in her early twenties!
She has only appeared a few times on Twitter’s trending list!
They were even more worried after hearing what Mr. Field said.

The sky grew darker as the night arrived. Aureate lights were switched on.
The practice lasted the whole day in the performing hall.
Janet was tired, the intense training caused her to suffer from aches all over her body and leg cramps.
She stood in front of the door and realized that her family car was not in the parking lot. She frowned and gave her driver a call.
The phone rang multiple times but no one picked up.
She saw the other actors leaving one by one and eventually she was the only one left alone there.
She angrily vented, “Where is the driver? You have the audacity to let me wait this long! I’ll deduct your salary for sure!”
She looked around and wanted to call a cab.
Out of a sudden, a black car approached her, She tried to move away, but the doors opened abruptly and two tall men dressed in black came out of the car.
The men’s faces were covered with black cloth. She didn’t manage to react before they covered her mouth and dragged her into the car.
The door was slammed shut and the car sped off.
Everything happened in a nick of time.
She could only whimper. Her eyes were filled with fear while she struggled to break free.
One of the men gave her a tight slap and warned, “Don’t move or I’ll skin you alive!”
Her eyes widened in horror. She was afraid and stared helplessly in the car.
Who did she offend? Has she been kidnapped?
