The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

The previous speculations about Ding Xin's identity in the newspapers were not unfounded.

How did this small conglomerate shareholder, who is suspected of having a black background, get involved with the daughter of that media tycoon?

It was clear that Han Zhengtai was very curious.

Ding Xin certainly couldn't tell the truth about this, that they were running buddies, right?

That's why he acted very mysteriously.

They only vaguely mentioned that they were old friends of many years.

Whether the TV station's minister believes it or not is none of his business.

Of course, the two kept their conversation very discreet, using only pronouns and neither of them actually mentioned Mou Xianmin's name.

In fact, Ding Xin didn't need to make this trip in person.

The head of the variety show department only needs to be brought over by Wu Xiuyan, the vice president in charge of specific affairs.

Although MBC is a high-level television station, given Ding Xin's status, he should at least be talking to someone at the level of deputy director or higher.

He came in person this time.

Firstly, it's to show that you value it, since it's the first meeting after being introduced by someone.

Out of respect for Mu Xianmin.

As the de facto head of Kinmen Film and Television, it's a bit unreasonable that Ding Xin doesn't even show his face.

Secondly, it was to support Liu Shi on the platform and show his respect and care for him.

He had high hopes for Liu Shi.

If Yoo Seok can perform well and succeed in MBC variety shows, it will undoubtedly have a profound and positive impact on the development of Kinmen Film and Television.

......

After returning from retrieving the schedule, the female assistant, at Han Zhengtai's prompting, handed the schedule to Ding Xin and the others.

The female assistant was very thoughtful; she brought over several schedules, one for each person.

Even Anhemao had it, which left him somewhat at a loss.

Fortunately, he had been following Ding Xin for quite some time, so he had developed a thick skin.

He was inwardly panicking, but outwardly remained calm.

They even pretended to look through it.

"Executive Director Ding, these are our variety show production plans for next year. Take a look, and if they are suitable, I can try my best to arrange them for you."

Han Zhengtai said with a smile.

His words were polite and at first glance seemed innocuous, but upon closer examination, something seemed amiss.

What does "appropriate" mean? And what does "as much as possible" mean?

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Ding Xin nodded noncommittally and said with a smile, "Then I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Then, he began to carefully review the schedule in his hand.

however.

His expression quickly turned strange.

The document in my hand is supposed to be a plan, but it's more like a table of contents, with maybe a brief introduction added.

No wonder this minister is so generous.

This is something that probably no one can truly understand.

It's probably impossible for a normal person to identify which variety shows are the most popular based on this information alone.

Unfortunately, Ding Xin was no ordinary person.

All he needs is a name, as long as it matches any popular variety show from his past life memories.

"Infinite Challenge!"

Ding Xin's gaze lingered on the name.

At the same time, long-dormant memories began to awaken.

Ding Xin was very familiar with this variety show; it was a program that was popular throughout Asia in his previous life.

This program can be considered to have pioneered a new genre of variety shows, with each episode having a different theme and format, and is basically filmed outdoors on real locations.

The categories are also diverse, including music, comedy, sports, role-playing, team battles, and individual battles...

It was truly a lot of fun.

After the show aired, its regular guests became incredibly popular.

In his previous life, Liu Shi was the host of this program.

With that thought in mind, Ding Xin immediately made a decision: there was no need to look at the others, this was the one!

"Minister Han, I think this show called 'Infinite Challenge' is pretty good. Our Seok Jae-ssi would be perfect as a host..."

"Infinite Challenge?"

Han Zhengtai looked somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, this is a great name, it's sure to be a hit!"

no...

He really thinks highly of this program, but how did Executive Director Ding come to that conclusion?

Just based on a name?

"Hey, Executive Director Ding, this show is still in its early stages, and nobody can say for sure what its future holds. Why don't you try this show called 'Love Connection'? The last episode was quite popular, and it seems like it would suit Seok Jae-ssi well..."

Han Zhengtai politely declined and suggested another program instead.

Ding Xin had never even heard of it.

"No need, let's just go with Infinite Challenge. A startup program is the best. Kinmen Films is also a startup company, and our motto is to bravely accept challenges!"

Ding Xin analyzed with an air of importance, and said with a smile, "A newcomer to a new company, a new host on a new show, is facing challenges everywhere. And the name of the show is Infinite Challenge. Minister Han, don't you think it's very fitting?"

What a load of nonsense!

Han Zhengtai was about to curse.

This Director Ding in front of us is really ungrateful!

Can't you understand good or bad words?

Because he has high hopes for the Infinite Challenge program, he is even less willing to let Liu Shi, a newcomer to variety shows, host it.

A new person hosting a new show? You really came up with that idea...

However, out of consideration for Mu Xianmin, he couldn't directly lash out.

Han Zhengtai's thoughts shifted, and he feigned difficulty: "Executive Director Ding, to tell you the truth, the host for Infinite Challenge has already been decided, there are really no vacancies. I think another show..."

"Is everything settled?"

Ding Xin interrupted Han Zhengtai directly, saying he didn't care about any other damn program...

All he wants now is endless challenges!

"Yes, it's already booked..."

"I only see five names on the schedule. Weren't there supposed to be six hosts?"

"Um, we just finalized the deal for the other one, and we haven't had time to fill in the name yet..."

"who is it?"

"He's a member of an idol boy group..."

"name?"

"Park Jaejoong..."

Ding Xin asked the questions very quickly, and perhaps due to inertia, Han Zhengtai answered very quickly as well.

"Park Jaejoong, who is that?"

This time, Ding Xin asked Wu Xiuyan, who was standing next to him.

Oh Soo-yeon recently did some research on the South Korean entertainment industry in order to recruit artists.

She thought for a moment and then answered directly, "A newcomer who has only been in the industry for half a year."

"Newbie?"

Ding Xin raised an eyebrow, then turned his gaze back to Han Zhengtai, saying with a half-smile, "Minister Han, I think he's no match for our Shi Zai..."

Chapter 141 This is how we do things in Kinmen.

At this point in the conversation, Han Zhengtai was starting to get a little annoyed.
