416: Zhou Wenhao: In order to deal with my 'lifelong enemy,' I can continue to endure all of this.

"Damn it, damn it, how can Xu Lu still be so arrogant? Does he really think he's better than my Green Lotus Layman?

Impossible! Although that Green Lotus Layman isn't good at social graces, he's the most talented person I've ever met. How could anyone else compare to him!"

Zhou Wenhao muttered to himself, gritting his teeth:

"So that kid Xu Lu must be panicking now, that's why he's so eager to come out and respond, just to try and salvage a bit of his reputation.

Because once the live broadcast of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering officially begins, he won't have any chance. Green Lotus Layman will absolutely crush him to dust!"

Thinking this, Zhou Wenhao finally recovered his composure.

And a smile gradually appeared on his face. This time, it was the best opportunity for him to lead the Modern Poetry Association to glory.

All the past embarrassments would vanish with the unfolding of this Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering live broadcast.

That's right!

To maximize the benefits this time, Zhou Wenhao almost mobilized all his and the Modern Poetry Association's resources to specially create a grand live broadcast.

It would even link up with several TV stations, meaning the final 'poetry duel' segment of the live broadcast would be aired at the end of these TV stations' galas.

He had put no small amount of effort into achieving this goal.

But thinking of the great boost in reputation the Modern Poetry Association would gain 'after this battle', Zhou Wenhao felt it was all worth it.

As long as the association's fame grew, more people would naturally join, and the more people he, as chairman, managed, the benefits would be self-evident.

Previously, Zhou Wenhao had such an idea, but he never thought it could become a reality.

Because there was no suitable opportunity, but unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing, and such an opportunity arose.

And the most coincidental thing was that he also held an ace like 'Green Lotus Layman'.

If not for 'Green Lotus Layman', Zhou Wenhao felt he certainly wouldn't have this confidence.

But a Modern Poetry Competition actually brought him such a talent.

Although this talent wasn't very good at social graces and didn't give him, the chairman of the Modern Poetry Association, much face.

At this stage, however, Zhou Wenhao could tolerate this minor flaw of his.

As long as the other party could help him get rid of that 'lifelong enemy', Chairman Zhou could continue to endure.

As for settling scores later, that would depend on whether 'Green Lotus Layman' could correct his attitude then.

As the saying goes, 'use people when you need them, discard them when you don't'. Although this saying isn't pleasant, it is indeed the truth!

...Time flew by, and soon it was evening.

Due to Our CEO Xu's inherent fame and the Modern Poetry Association's active promotion.

The number of people across the entire network paying attention to this live broadcast has actually reached an exaggerated figure.

In fact, the post 'New Genius poet Green Lotus Layman and Famous Director Xu Lu...' had long been trending.

The alias 'Genius poet Green Lotus Layman' had been trending repeatedly recently, making countless netizens aware of such a person's existence.

And Our CEO Xu's 'main persona', as the hottest and highest-grossing director in the industry, was also a strong contender for trending topics.

The combination of the two brought more than just double the popularity.

So, upon learning the news, the media and self-media had already gone wild.

This is the era of traffic, and media are creatures that chase traffic. Whoever brings their own traffic, the media favors them..."Dear fans and friends, it is my honor to receive the invitation from the Modern Poetry Association. I have arrived at the live broadcast venue!

Tonight, the long-awaited 'duel' between Green Lotus Layman and Director Xu Lu will unfold here..."

"Babies, take a look, how is the venue carefully prepared by the Modern Poetry Association today? It's pretty good, right?

It's just a pity we haven't seen the legendary mysterious Green Lotus Layman, and of course, we haven't seen the famous Director Xu either."

"The large electronic screen at the very front, it's said, will be divided into two areas, left and right.

That's right, the two great poets in the duel will display their works separately..."

I have to say.

The Modern Poetry Association's live broadcast venue was very lively. In addition to many association members, many Streamers were also invited to join the fun.

These Streamers, holding various live broadcast equipment, were now wandering around the venue, introducing the situation to their fans.

As eight o'clock in the evening approached, the warm-up program for the live broadcast venue had begun.

It was just a pity that neither the live audience nor the viewers watching the broadcast were very interested in these programs.

Everyone was patiently waiting here just to see the final 'poetry duel' segment.

On Chairman Zhou's side, to avoid any mishaps, he immediately called Green Lotus Layman.

Buzz... buzz... buzz..."Our CEO Xu, Zhou Wenhao called Green Lotus Layman. Do you have any instructions?"

On the other side, the thoughtful Artificial Intelligence butler, jervis, immediately reported the situation to Xu Lu.

Xu Lu thought for a moment and said:

"Nothing else. If he asks about today's Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering, just say it's ready.

Anyway, this guy probably won't have much use in the future, so don't be too polite to him.

Oh, right, tell him to send over the split-screen signal from the live broadcast. You can then set up a virtual background for the stream.

Then transmit the signal to my computer.

Do the same for the other split-screen signal, but use my real-world background for that one..."

After receiving instructions from Our CEO Xu, jervis then answered the phone.

And Zhou Wenhao, who had been waiting for a while, finally heard that familiar voice, which he couldn't distinguish as male or female.

He quickly took a deep breath and said:

"Green Lotus, the live broadcast of the Mid-Autumn Poetry Gathering has begun. Are you ready?"

"Ready. Send me the split-screen signal!"

jervis said.

Hearing this, Zhou Wenhao's mouth twitched, but he still forced himself to say:

"Okay, Green Lotus, I'll have someone send you the signal right away.

By the way, this matter is very important, so you absolutely mustn't mess up. The honor of the entire association rests on your..."

Before he could finish, jervis interrupted:

"Understood. Are you done talking? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up!"

Uh... jervis's impolite words left Zhou Wenhao stunned.

But thinking that he indeed had nothing else to say, he could only hang up the phone with a bewildered expression.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

"What's wrong with this Green Lotus Layman today? Talking to me, the chairman, so rudely?

Never mind, maybe he's a bit nervous about the poetry duel with that kid surnamed Xu!"

Zhou Wenhao finally found an excuse for the other party in his heart, and his mood finally lightened.
