However, President Yang refused to believe it, “Do we really need Lu Man for this?”
He looked at Manager Lin, then cast his gaze at the publicity team.
At that moment, there was a pin-drop silence as everyone lowered their heads.
“Besides Lu Man, we can’t find anyone else. You could very well see the plan enacted by the public relations team we hired earlier,” Manager Lin said helplessly, “It was all futile.”
“Then increase the offer given to Lu Man, compared to how much Rich Princess pays her, we can offer 50 percent more,” President Yang gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t believe that she doesn’t want to earn money.”
“But what if Lu Man still doesn’t agree?” Manager Lin asked, “President Yang, tell me your maximum limit.”
He couldn’t just keep calling and hanging up over and over again with offers, right?
President Yang’s lips twitched and he then said in a low voice, “We’ll increase it by a maximum of two times.”
“Alright,” Manager Lin pondered for a while, and called Lu Man again.
“Manager Lin,” Lu Man picked up the call and greeted him. She had just saved Manager Lin’s contact in her phone.
“Lu Man, I will be straightforward with you now,” Manager Lin said directly, “We will offer you 50 percent more of what Rich Princess pays you.”
After being silent for a while, Lu Man rejected him once again. “Manager Lin, it’s really not possible. I’m someone who sticks to her morals no matter what. I have already signed a contract with Rich Princess , I can’t breach it.”
“We’ll double your pay and also pay the penalty for breaching the contract.” After Manager Lin offered this, he looked towards President Yang for approval.
He saw President Yang nodding in agreement right away.
“It’s really not possible, this has nothing to do with money,” Lu Man said humbly.
“We’ll increase it by two times!” Manager Lin raised the offer.
This was already the maximum limit given by President Yang.
“Manager Lin, it’s really nothing to do with money. I have already agreed to Rich Princess , and I won’t break the contract. If I break the contract for money, then in the future, who would dare to hire me?” Lu Man said helplessly, “I’m very sorry, I really can’t help with your show, we can work together again if we have the chance next time.”
In the end, no matter what Manager Lin said, Lu Man refused to agree.
Seeing that Lu Man wasn’t pretending, Manager Lin could only give up.
Hanging up, Manager Lin’s face was somber as he looked at President Yang. “President Yang, no matter what I said, Lu Man refused to agree.”
“Then let it be.” Disheartened, President Yang looked at Great Desert’s ranking. “This time, we’ll admit defeat.”
“Are you planning on giving up on Great Desert ?”
“What else can we do? It’s already good enough that the broadcasting company did not cut it. Just let it air like that, and let things flow naturally, May after the Red Tiger craze is over, Great Desert can rise a bit,” President Yang said.

The Red Tiger’s box office earnings settled at 300 million on weekdays and at around 500 million on weekends.
Gradually, as the number of netizens who had seen Red Tiger increased, the intensity of the advertising decreased.
Finally, Great Desert’s viewership increased a bit and reached 0.3011 percent.
Even though it was still horrible, at least it was better than before.
Moreover, President Yang did not have any hopes for this show anymore, and just planned on letting it hang in there and finish broadcasting.
Very quickly, the holidays ended just like that, and the school reopened for Lu Man. She officially started her second year of school.
Based on the calendar, even though it could be said that it was the start of autumn when school reopened, the truth was that it was still as hot as summer.
Since Lu Man needed to report to school a day before it started, Han Zhuoli was standing downstairs of Lu Man’s building, planning on sending Lu Man to school.
Sitting in the car, he saw Lu Man come out from the main entrance wearing a T-shirt and shorts.
Since it was quite hot, she had tied a high ponytail.
Walking towards him, her ponytail was swishing from side to side.
