Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 998: Chapter 585: Persuasion

Approximately 1.77 meters tall, with a slightly plump figure, wearing thin-framed glasses on a fair face, smiling while speaking... Looking at the refined man sitting opposite her, Nu’an was truly having a headache.

While she was blow-drying her hair after showering, she received a call from Li Qingqi saying that the CCTV host, judge Zhou Anbang, wanted to talk to her.

As a result, it’s been an hour and a half, and the other party just kept talking non-stop, a host is indeed a host, his eloquence is truly remarkable. If Zhou Anbang competed in a debate competition, who could rival him? Oh... Actually, no, talking too much can exceed the time limit, and not expressing his point clearly would also cost him points...

"...Luo Ye, after saying so much, are you still not interested?" Mr. Zhou Anbang finally stopped his lengthy speech.

Luo Ye smiled gently: "Mr. Zhou, my point was already expressed very clearly earlier, it’s definitely not feasible. The school absolutely won’t allow it."

Zhou Anbang leaned forward slightly: "As long as you nod, I’ll take care of the school. Little sister, having such an opportunity at your age is something that you won’t find even with a lantern.

Moreover, I’m not bragging, there are plenty of female celebrities wanting to partner with me, but why didn’t I choose them? The reason is simple—too tacky.

Your performance on stage is excellent, your stage presence is great, and your small palm-sized face with well-defined features will look very good on camera.

I can assure you, not much time is needed, one month, within one month your fans will grow beyond your imagination, your name will be known to all households..."

Seeing the other party’s mouth open and close again starting a lengthy speech, Luo Ye helplessly held her forehead: "Mr. Zhou, please stop, my answer is just two words, not feasible!"

It’s not that she was impolite, she was genuinely worried that if she didn’t interrupt him, he might prattle on for another hour and a half.

She’s discovered that people who are good at speaking all have one flaw, which is repetitive speaking. So far, summarizing what he’s said are just a few points:

One, among domestic male hosts, Zhou Anbang dares to claim he’s the best, no one dares claim second, countless female celebrities and hosts want to work with him, but being noticed by Luo Ye is her blessing, such pretentiousness is not right.

Two, partnering with him as a host, the speed of becoming famous is almost like riding a rocket. For young girls, not utilizing their youthful assets would be foolish, getting such an opportunity is like great ancestral luck.

Three,... uh, there’s no third, the previous two points completely summarize Mr. Zhou’s meaning, thus it seems he’s treating her as a gullible girl aiming for fame.

Actually, she doesn’t completely reject the glamorous life under the spotlight, but her identity makes it utterly impossible.

Specifically, she can’t say to Zhou Anbang, so she’s patiently listened to him for nearly two hours, but if this keeps going, she doesn’t have the patience anymore.

It seems Mr. Zhou has never been refused like this before, after Luo Ye interrupted him, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, awkwardly smiling: "Miss Luo, I suggest you reconsider carefully, missing out on this kind of opportunity means it’s gone."

Dear, he finally said a brief sentence. Ye, classmate really wanted to clap in celebration.

"Not reconsidering, really, my personality is just like this, if it’s possible it’s possible, if not then it’s not, won’t pretend to be coy."

"Forgive me for being direct, but aren’t you really envious..." Zhou Anbang paused, gesturing with his hands, "Not envious of the beautifully dressed celebrities standing under the spotlight, recognized by everyone?"

"Not envious." Luo Ye smiled, spreading her hands, "I can roam freely when going out, can you all?"

"But don’t all girls like that feeling of being adored?" Zhou Anbang was still unwilling to give up.

"I don’t like it." Luo Ye repeated, "Really don’t like it."

Zhou Anbang extended his hand, his eyes sincere: "Miss Luo, honestly speaking, until now, you’re the only girl I’ve seen not tempted by fame and fortune."

Luo Ye politely shook his hand: "Sorry for not being able to help you."

"No worries, hosting by myself is quite alright..." said Zhou Anbang scratching his brow, "Of course, if a girl like Miss Luo, so talented yet pure without a trace of impurity, were to host with me, it would be ideal."

"You’re too kind." Luo Ye laughed, "Being praised like this by you makes me feel really embarrassed."

"I speak honestly, not deliberately complimenting." Zhou Anbang became serious, "Although I occasionally like to boast a bit, I never exaggerate the looks and qualities of girls rashly, just afraid of encountering those with poor discernment who might take my words seriously."

Luo Ye chuckled lightly: "I understand what you mean, worried that others might take it seriously, leading to overrated self-esteem, consequently affecting partner choices and a series of life matters?"

"Exactly, that’s what I mean, you’re quite clever." Zhou Anbang looked pained, "The more it is like this, the more I feel it’s a pity for you not to partner with me.

Actually, the program I host is very high-level, very orthodox, Luo Ye, if not, reconsider, don’t rush to give me an answer, discuss with your parents before deciding, okay?"

"No, really." Luo Ye waved her hand, "Knowing it’s impossible, I won’t keep you hanging, further consideration will yield the same result, it’s better to clear things up early so you can make other plans."

"Other plans? You mean picking from other contestants?" Zhou Li sighed, "If there were suitable ones, why would I be so earnest in persuading you?

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a unique charisma? You’re not a conventional beauty, but there’s something about you that makes people want to get closer, to trust you...an aura."

"You’re the first to say that." Luo Ye’s lips curled up, "But hearing you say so, I’m quite happy."

Zhou Anbang hesitated for a moment: "Since we’re on this topic, I might as well tell you the truth. I mentioned earlier that if you agree, I can handle the school matter. Do you think I’m bluffing you?"

"No...just a little bit." Luo Ye laughed embarrassedly, "I won’t lie, I’ll answer honestly."

"I like straightforward girls." Zhou Anbang quickly explained, "Don’t get me wrong, I have strong moral boundaries, and I don’t have inappropriate thoughts towards young girls. When I say ’like,’ it’s just a general evaluation."

"I understand." Luo Ye smiled playfully, "I didn’t expect Mr. Zhou to be so meticulous. Don’t misunderstand me either, I’m referring to how eagerly you explained."

"Haha... I didn’t expect you to have such a lively side. From your previous behavior, I thought you didn’t joke around." Zhou Anbang straightened his expression and continued, "With my capabilities, there’s no way I could demand anything from your school. This matter is a promise from Minister Wen.

Judge Yi Yuqing is Minister Wen’s daughter-in-law. When I requested permission from the station about having Miss Luo as my partner, she overheard. I suppose she informed Minister Wen, who then asked her to relay the promise to me.

I wasn’t planning to tell Miss Luo about this at first, but your honesty moved me, so I didn’t want to hide it."

Luo Ye looked at him seriously: "Thank you."

Minister Wen, also known as Wen An Country, is the second son of Grandpa’s Wen Family in Beijing. He is Wen Antong from the National Security Bureau, whom she met last time with Yu Wenze.

What is the Beijing Wen Family planning?

To stir her vanity and lure her into the entertainment industry, thereby destroying Grandpa’s hopes?

If her guess is right, then Grandpa’s family would truly be narrow-minded, not worthy of being her elders, let alone being part of the Wen Family.

"You still have a competition tomorrow, so I won’t disturb you." Zhou Anbang stood up, thought for a moment, and added, "Do you have any plans after the competition tomorrow?"

"Our team leader plans to take everyone out to sing and relieve some of the stress we’ve been under." Luo Ye answered truthfully.

"Have you decided on a location for the gathering?"

Luo Ye nodded: "Yes, Jiale."

"The place isn’t very classy, and the sound system is average." Zhou Anbang thought for a moment, "Never mind, I’ll discuss this with your team leader later. See you, Luo Ye."

"Goodbye."

"Ah!"

"What happened?" Luo Ye quickly followed and saw Zhou Anbang and Qiao Aimin holding their noses in pain—there’s no need to ask, they must have bumped into each other.

"Uncle Qiao, when did you arrive?"

"Just now, I heard from Director Li that you were in the small meeting room, so I rushed over." Qiao Aimin looked apologetically at Zhou Anbang, "I’m sorry, really sorry. I was too anxious. Are you alright?"

Zhou Anbang laughed while rubbing his nose: "Secretary Qiao, to get knocked by you is my good fortune. If I told others, they’d be envious. How could I be hurt?"

Qiao Aimin also laughed: "You really know how to talk. Never mind, for your interview, make an appointment with my secretary later as an apology."

"Thank you, thank you very much." Zhou Anbang bowed twice to Luo Ye, "Miss Luo, I’ve realized you’re my lucky star."

Qiao Aimin gave him a push, "Alright, stop acting up. I have matters to discuss with Luo Ye, so I won’t keep you company."

"You’re busy, you’re busy, I’ll go find Director Li." Zhou Anbang turned and ran after speaking.

Qiao Aimin rubbed his forehead, "He’s so impatient, sigh!"

"With you, the big secretary, around, how could he not be impatient?" Luo Ye giggled and bowed, "Congratulations, Uncle Qiao, on your promotion."

Qiao Aimin shook his head helplessly, "Alright, stop teasing Uncle Qiao. I have urgent business to discuss with you, let’s go inside and talk."
