Chapter 322: Urban Card-Drawing System (28)

By the time the fire trucks pushed through the crowded night market and arrived at the scene, the fire, while not yet completely extinguished, had at least been contained to the first floor and was not spreading further upward.

Once the firefighters arrived, they took over the scene in an orderly division of labor.

This time, because Xie Yang had put out the fire in time, the flames were extinguished quickly, and the firefighters had not been delayed for a single moment in entering the building to save people, so naturally, there were no casualties.

Even though the Wang Family's granddaughter hadn't escaped the building in time and had inhaled thick smoke, fortunately, her trachea wasn't burned, and she would be fine after a few days of oxygen therapy in the hospital.

In any disaster, having no casualties is the greatest stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

As for property damage, the first and second floors were the most severely affected; seeking compensation from the residents who caused the fire by indiscriminately connecting wires to charge their electric scooters was their own business.

Xie Yang retired after her success; after returning the fire hoses, nozzles, and extinguishers she had taken from the shop, she took Wu Jie back to the flat to sleep.

She turned off her phone and slept until daybreak; only after waking up did she hear from Wu Jie that local news was reporting on last night's fire.

The newspapers were primarily text-based, and if there were photos, they were of the residential building that had caught fire.

But the news online had not only text reports but also videos.

One of the videos was a GIF of her holding the fire hose and lifting the nozzle to fight the fire, her hair plastered to her cheeks by sweat, her face glowing white-to-red in the firelight, her expression focused and serious.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: put out the fire!

Netizens commented below:

【The young lady is so cool! She totally killed it!】

【This hose is very heavy; I lifted one during a school fire drill, and my arms were completely wrecked.】

【How is the popularity only this much? Go for it, everyone! Can news full of positive energy really be overshadowed by entertainment industry gossip and drama?】

Xie Yang: "..."

I thank you all!

Wu Jie came out of the kitchen with the prepared breakfast: "The fire station, in conjunction with the community, wants to hold a commendation meeting for you, and television reporters want to schedule an interview. They couldn't reach you before, so they all called me."

"Turn them down; if my dad finds out, he'll start nagging me."

"How is your arm?" Wu Jie asked with concern, "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Xie Yang: "..."

If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't even feel it, okay?

But since she asked... she put down her phone and rubbed her arm: "I didn't feel anything yesterday, but today after waking up, my arm is a bit sore."

While serving her porridge, Wu Jie said: "Of course it is. I couldn't handle carrying that hose for a quarter of an hour, let alone you. You exerted yourself too much; it would be strange if it weren't sore. I know a technician with excellent massage skills; I'll take you after we finish eating."

Xie Yang nodded; with matters here settled, she should also go back to oversee the company.

Since the response to "I'm Searching for Treasures in Variety Shows" was so good, she naturally had to strike while the iron was hot and continue recording the second season.

Before leaving, she went to the fire station and left a cash check for one million, along with a truckload of fruit, milk, and snacks, to provide the firefighters with extra meals and late-night snacks.

After donating, she urged them not to publicize her firefighting deeds anymore and told them not to mention her name when reporters came to interview, then waved her hand and left.

The group of fire officers and soldiers: "..."

They had seen humble good Samaritans who didn't leave their names, but they had never seen a unique good Samaritan who, after doing a good deed, donated money and goods just to ensure they didn't leave their name.

Speaking of Xie Yang, having traversed so many planes and experienced so many professions, this was her first time acting as the head of an entertainment company.

And let's just say, an entertainment company that looks glamorous on the outside actually has quite a lot to busy itself with if one truly wants to manage it well and support the dozens of people under its banner.

It felt even less relaxing than those bottom-tier artists.

But if you asked her if she regretted buying this little broken company for fifty million on a whim just to slap Feng Xuanxuan in the face? That, she did not.

To her, this was a brand-new experience.

Although tiring, it was very fulfilling.

The first season of "I'm Searching for Treasures in Variety Shows" had already ended, but the buzz had never diminished.

And because two episodes were arranged for treasure hunting in Northern Europe, a French television station reached out seeking cooperation; they not only purchased the overseas broadcast rights but also proactively proposed participating in the recording of the second season for one or two stops, which could be considered opening up the overseas market.

At the same time, peers also threw out olive branches one after another, wanting to invest in the second season.

Xie Yang had never intended to use all the guests from the first season, otherwise, it would be easy to leave the audience with a stereotypical impression.

As if this program were created for those few guests; if they wanted to change people when filming the third or fourth season later, it wouldn't be easy for the audience to accept.

The fans of these guests might even think that the new guests drove their idols away and start a scene...

As it happened, Star Sea Entertainment, which had reached out, was currently negotiating a new, rather significant music variety show, and Xie Yang proposed an exchange.

Thus, Han Yu went to the new music variety show, and an artist whom Star Sea Entertainment had been pushing hard recently came to the second season of "I'm Searching for Treasures in Variety Shows".

Chen Mu was completely relieved now: "It seems the new boss still understands you very well, knowing what you are better at. Let's go, let's go! Let's go up and thank the new boss."

He dragged Han Yu straight to Xie Yang's office floor.

Just as they exited the Elevator, they saw Xie Yang being surrounded by a crowd as she entered the president's private elevator next door.

Upon seeing Xie Yang's face clearly and hearing how everyone addressed her, Chen Mu dropped his phone with a "slap."

"Damn! Is she, she, she not that warm-hearted little fan?"

Han Yu and he looked at each other in dismay: "..."

Unfortunately, the elevator doors had already closed.

Chen Mu pinched his own thigh hard.

"Hiss—it's not a dream! I was wondering why the company was so generous in giving you that music show contract this time; turns out the new boss is your fan! Hahaha! Han Yu, your good days are here!"

"..."

Han Yu looked at his manager speechlessly.

Who was the one who kept cursing the company for being heartless, sending him, a musician, to participate in some Appraising Treasures show?

Now he was singing the company's praises...

Other entertainment companies also heard the news about Galaxy and Star Ocean exchanging seats, and they could no longer sit still, contacting Xie Yang one after another to seek cooperation.

After considering it, Xie Yang chose to cooperate with Hurricane Entertainment and Anqing Entertainment.

One of them had a supporting lead role slot in a historical drama that had recently started filming, and the other had a guest star slot for a long-running variety show.

Trading the second season seats with them was not a loss.

Just like that, three of the six artist seats were traded away, leaving three for her own company.

Of course, the people sent from her own company were also newcomers.

As for the guests from the first season, excluding Han Yu, the other five drew lots fairly to decide who would take the two exchanged slots.

Those who were not chosen should not be discouraged; they could go to the film crew to play bit parts first, and arrangements would be made when there were opportunities in the future.

The six guests for the second season, which would extremely test professional knowledge, were of course given to her university classmates, as she would not let outsiders benefit from her own resources.

Although quite a few people also wanted to squeeze people in through various channels.

The other parties' professional knowledge might not be worse than her university classmates'.

But when she first organized this program, one of the original intentions was to help her university classmates relieve employment pressure; her own people hadn't even finished their turns yet, so how could there be vacancies for outsiders?
