After walking through the studio, Chu Tian had a rough idea in mind.

It must be said that although Li Chunhua was just an agent with no experience in business, she had interacted with many entertainment companies, both large and small, over the years. Especially when she was at Baise Entertainment, she might have learned quite a bit, so she was very clear about what a studio needed. Thus, her preparations were thorough. They had everything that was necessary and even included some of her own ideas. She had made some slight innovations, and it could be said that though small, the setup was complete in every aspect.

The new singers were still in training, getting used to the new company's atmosphere, and Chu Tian wasn't in a hurry to start teaching them.

When he returned to the office, Xu Qingqiu had not awakened yet. It seemed the sofa was too small, and she didn't look very comfortable sleeping on it.

It was a good time for Li Chunhua and the rest to go home. They had recorded a show late into the night, until 2 a.m., and then had to catch a plane at 4 a.m. They had barely rested at all and returned to the studio only to deal with some urgent matters. Now that these issues were largely resolved, there wasn't much point in staying around.

"Wake her up. I'll ask Yiyi to get the car."

Chu Tian nodded and didn't refuse.

"Okay. Why don't you go down first, Sister Hua? I'll bring her down, and we can go back together."

"Forget it. If you go back with us, she won't get any rest either."

Seeing Sister Hua's teasing look, Chu Tian's face, unusually, turned red, and he could only smile without saying anything.

Since she said so, he let it go and decided to take the opportunity to check on the company.

After waking up the drowsy Xu Qingqiu and seeing her bewildered, kitten-like expression, Chu Tian suddenly felt his throat dry.

Seizing the moment when no one was in the office, he gave her a swift, smacking kiss.

"Hey, what are you doing? Stop it~"

Suddenly ambushed, Xu Qingqiu was stunned for a moment before she realized what had happened. She rolled her eyes at him suggestively, finally waking up completely.

"This is my wake-up service. How is it? Awake yet?"

"Hmph~ Naughty hooligan..."

She chided him, but the blush on her face couldn't hide her inner shyness. After all, they were in the office, and the walls were made of transparent glass. It would be terribly embarrassing if someone were to see.

"Alright, now that you're awake, let's go downstairs. Yiyi and Sister Hua have already gone to get the car. Go home and rest well."

"Mm~ Hmm? Aren't you coming back with me?"

"I need to check on some things at the company. I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."

"Alright then. Come home early tonight, and don't overwork yourself."

"Right. Don't worry about me; you should focus on resting. I have it much easier than you do."

"Hmph!"

Watching Chu Tian's smug face, Xu Qingqiu gave him a wide eye-roll, her face full of helplessness.

This straightforward man really lacked any sense of romance, always hitting where it hurt.

After escorting Xu Qingqiu to the car, Chu Tian stood in the parking lot for a while, watching the vehicle drive away. Then, he turned, found his own car, and drove towards the company.

"President Chu!"

"President Chu."

He greeted employees as he walked. Having come to the company frequently recently, he had become quite familiar with many of the staff members. Finally, he was no longer the boss who was stopped at the door.

No sooner had he arrived at his office than Hou Yichuan came running over.

"Eh? You're here? I didn't believe it when others said you'd returned. You finally managed to sneak some leisure time; how could you bear to come back already?"

"I'm the boss. Am I not allowed to come back?"

Because Xu Qingqiu was home resting, Chu Tian, without his love nearby, was already in a bad mood. Encountering Hou Yichuan, who was always so unreliable and now seemed to be prodding at his sore spots, only made his mood worse.

"What's wrong? Heartbroken or something? You seem pretty irritable today."

"TCH, TCH, TCH! Don't talk nonsense. What's up? Did you come looking for me for something?"

"Not really, just came to check on you. Oh, and by the way, the online version of our show, 'King of Mask Singer,' is going live tonight. Remember to watch it."

"The show? 'King of Mask Singer'? What time is it?"

"Eight o'clock tonight, it goes live across the entire web. What do you think the viewership numbers will be?"

As for its performance, Chu Tian really couldn't make a wild guess. However, judging from the ratings of the initial broadcast, it realistically shouldn't be too low.

"Is the operations team prepared?"

"Everything's ready, not just on our side. Lemon TV will be promoting it as well, especially since the second episode airs tomorrow. They care even more than we do, as it directly affects their ratings."

"Well then, if everything's set, let's just wait. What's the rush?"

"I'm just a bit unsure, you know? Besides, I figured I'd find a bit of fun amidst the busy schedule. Take a guess, what do you think the numbers will be?"

Seeing Hou Yichuan's expectant expression, Chu Tian thought for a moment and ventured a figure.

"Maybe around 20 to 25 million. How's that? Are you satisfied with that number?"

"That much? You're really bold with your guess. I didn't expect you to have such confidence in the show. Now that you've said that, I feel reassured."

"What do you mean, you're reassured? I just threw out a number. Do you take me for some kind of oracle whose words magically come true?"

"Not exactly, but since you mentioned that number, you must have some basis for it, right? I certainly don't believe you just said it randomly."

"That might be true."

The number was Chu Tian's estimate, calculated based on viewership rates. Although there wasn't an exact formula, those in this business generally had their own methods for estimation. His figure might not be precisely accurate, but it would likely not be far off.
