Lu Dongjie exchanged a few pleasantries and then went in with a smile.

TVB opened the second and third video studios in the building at the same time and temporarily used them as the reception venue for tonight's 10th anniversary reception.

When Lu Dongjie entered, the huge video studio seemed a bit deserted.

They were scattered everywhere, all holding a drink in their hands, laughing, flirting, or whispering.

Lu Dongjie looked around at the people here. Except for one or two familiar faces, almost no one else he knew.

He came early tonight, but anyone with a certain status would definitely like to put on airs and arrive later.

Only in this way can you enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.

"Lu Sheng, please wait a moment!"

Lu Dongjie saw that the reception hadn't even started yet and wanted to find a place to sit, but at this moment, someone called him from behind.

He turned around and saw a smartly dressed woman. Her face seemed familiar, but she didn't quite recognize her.

She smiled and stepped forward to hand over her business card and introduced herself, "I am Luo Youmei, a reporter from Hong Kong Economic Daily. Can I do a small interview?"

Lu Dongjie was slightly startled, then reached out to take it and said with a smile, "Oh, it turns out to be Mrs. Lin. You almost deceived me."

Luo Youmei smoothed her hair and said with a smile: "Lu Sheng is really amazing. I really can't hide it from your golden eyes."

Lu Dongjie made an invitation gesture, "The interview is not necessary. We can just chat casually as friends."

After all, he is also the president of Tiantian Daily, so he has some background knowledge about his colleagues in these newspapers.

Luo Youmei is the wife of Lin Xingzhi, the founder of the Hong Kong Economic Journal, and is a well-known strong woman in the Hong Kong media industry.

She was a reporter at Lai Ying Sing (the predecessor of Lai TV), and later worked as a reporter and host in the TV department of Radio Television Hong Kong.

After leaving Radio Television Hong Kong, she helped her husband run the Hong Kong Economic Journal and also worked as a program promotion manager at TVB.

Although Lu Dongjie had never met her in person before, when he mentioned her name, he could immediately match the information.

It's just that he is not a person from the financial industry, so asking him to do an interview might seem a bit irrelevant.

But the cocktail party hasn’t started yet, so it’s just a recreational time.

When Luo Youmei saw Lu Dongjie alone, she inevitably suffered from occupational diseases, and at the same time she also had some small calculations in her heart.

From the perspective of her career as a journalist, Lu Dongjie's rise to fame and rise to the upper echelons of society is naturally unique.

She attended tonight's cocktail party, hoping to get to know some successful people in society, so that she could gain a reputation as an "information newspaper" in the future.

Lu Dongjie didn't know her intention and started chatting casually. The topic was relatively light and not in-depth.

His Daily Daily is a comprehensive daily newspaper and has no direct competition with Luo Youmei's "Xinbao".

However, we can take this opportunity to build a good relationship, and there may be business cooperation in the future.

After all, the Hong Kong Economic Journal, as a financial tabloid, is both professional and niche, so it is bound to be difficult to operate.

It was almost half past seven, and the venue became lively.

The head of the government, members of the two councils, the New Territories Heung Yee Kuk, the media, various sports associations, and people from all walks of life attended the event.

They are all people and institutions with close ties to the TV station, so naturally they came to celebrate TVB's 10th anniversary.

But the strange thing is that none of the TVB artists can be seen. Is it because they are not qualified to appear or there are special arrangements.

Although the host has not arrived yet, the laughter and laughter of the social occasion have already filled the entire video studio.

Lu Dongjie was laughing and chatting with a foreign Japanese. Seeing that the two were chatting happily, it was obvious that they had a close relationship.

Most people can't guess who he is, but if a reporter is present, like Luo Youmei just now, they will know his identity.

He is the Chief Superintendent of the Public Relations Division of the Hong Kong Police Force, Ling Ji-li, and it was natural for him to attend TVB's reception.

He was wearing a gray suit and a red bow tie tonight, looking very gentlemanly.

Ling Jili narrowed his eyes and said with a pun: "After such a turmoil, the police force's image can be quickly reversed, and you have a lot of credit for it."

Lu Dongjie felt no complacency and smiled faintly, "I just tried my best. After all, I was once a cop."

He paused, "But we have to thank the police force for their strong support. Otherwise, no matter how good the script is, we won't be able to make a good film."

Ling Jili picked up the cocktail and cleared his throat, "Here, let me toast you and wish you a prosperous business."

Lu Dongjie suppressed a smile on his face when he heard that unspeakable Cantonese sentence and clinked glasses with him.

He looked at Ling Jili's leaving figure, smiled and shook his head. This foreign devil also knew how to do as the Romans do in his hometown.

"Hey, we are actually hiding here and drinking secretly."

Suddenly, someone behind him laughed and started teasing him. Judging from his tone and voice, it seemed that he was not a stranger.

Lu Dongjie turned around and looked at the person who came, joking, "Huang Sheng, we are weak in our strength, but we are not as powerful as you in numbers."

Huang Xizhao came over with a glass of wine and laughed heartily, "That can't be said like that. The so-called loser does not lose the battle."

Compared with Jiayi TV where Lu Dongjie attended the meeting alone, it can be said that at Li TV, almost all the top management came to attend the meeting.

The team is led by General Manager Huang Xizhao, Deputy General Manager Zhong Jinghui, Deputy Program Director Mo He Minyi, Chief Engineer Feng Hanxiang, and Chief Editor of the News Department Shi Zhaocheng.

After all, they had worked at TVB and had a friendship like host and guest, so there was no need to avoid any suspicion.

Even now each is his own master and each other's rival.

But as a person, you should drink water and think about the source. They came together tonight to celebrate the 10th anniversary reception of TVB, and they did not lose their grace.

Huang Xizhao clinked glasses with him and said with emotion: "Thank you Jiashi for your strong support, thank you very much!"

Lu Dongjie smiled and said meaningfully: "At this time, we will both benefit from cooperation, and we will both lose from fighting."

Jiayi TV and Li's TV are competitors, but there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests.

The actions of Jiashi TV are enough to illustrate.

First, Lu Dongjie took his leading artists to personally participate in the "Million Dance" hosted by Li's TV.

Director Lin Xiufeng even visited Li's TV in person and handed over a check of 10,000 yuan for charity in person to Huang Xizhao.

According to external observations, the two leaders of Jiayi TV have taken such a low profile, which is a sign of proactive goodwill.

Huang Xizhao is also a sophisticated person, and naturally knows how to reciprocate kindness in other aspects.

Half a month ago, Li's deputy TV program director Xu Yingchun submitted his resignation letter. According to the provisions of the senior staff contract, he refused to let him go.

But when Jiashi director Lin Xiufeng came to discuss the matter, Huang Xizhao agreed to unconditionally terminate the contract in advance.

Xu Yingchun was freed, and then officially signed a contract to join Jiayi TV and was appointed as the program broadcast director.

Huang Xizhao accepted the olive branch offered by Jiayi TV without any grudges. Of course, she also had her own plans.

Jiayi TV is having a hard time this year, and Li TV is also having a bleak year. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two families are like brothers in distress.

Nowadays, TVB is the dominant one in terms of ratings, taking over all the top 20 most watched programs in Hong Kong.

If this situation continues to develop, even if the board of directors doesn't fire him, he won't have the shame to stay there.

Most of the people attending the cocktail party tonight were advertisers, and many of them knew Huang Xizhao.

They not only place advertisements on TVB, but also on Li's TV and Jiayi TV.

Nowadays, advertisers are rushing to send money to TVB, and they are worried that they will not be able to get a spot. This situation makes him really worried.

Moreover, Li TV itself is not monolithic, and the struggle between the young and mature factions is equally fierce.

Xu Yingchun was not his, and since he was leaving, he couldn't keep him, so he just took advantage of the situation and sold his favor to Lin Xiufeng.

Of course, Li TV is also happy to see it. Jiayi TV recruits troops to compete with TVB.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so letting the two Lin brothers fight with TVB can also reduce their own pressure.

Lu Dongjie looked at such a grand reception and looked at Huang Xizhao, and couldn't help but smile.
