Chapter 254 -254 The Four Books and Five Classics

Yeah, we’re filming the show right now, so I’ll give you some face.

“All right, we can discuss the academic questions offstage,” Meng Fei quickly smoothed things over, saying, “Or maybe we can discuss them properly after the blind date section is over. Let’s first watch the first clip, the basic information.”

Soon, a short clip started playing on the big screen on stage.

Gao Qiming appeared on the big screen, waving to everyone, “Hello everyone, my name is Gao Qiming, I’m thirty-two years old. My hobby is the study of our nation’s traditional culture. I believe that as a person from the Heavenly People’s Republic, one must read extensively about our ancient culture. Therefore, my standard for seeking a partner is to find a woman who is very knowledgeable about traditional culture, well-read and sensible.”

“Bang, bang, bang,” three lights went out directly below.

Wei Ming grinned and said jokingly, “This guy’s act is full marks, perfect score!”

Gao Qiming continued, “I run my own company,” the camera zoomed in on his wrist, and Wang Hao suddenly widened his eyes—that watch looked familiar… Gao Qiming smiled and said, “The scale of my company isn’t very big, just assets worth tens of millions. The performance is quite okay; to be modest, I’d say my financial status is decent. I have three apartments in Zhonghang City, each around a hundred square meters. Of course, I don’t have a villa; I find those kinds of houses too big and uncomfortable to live in.”

Then the scene switched, and he appeared in an underground parking lot, patting a BMW 5 series car, “Since I often need to discuss business, it’s essential to have a good car. BMW, I think, is a car men dream of, so I bought two, one white and one black. After all, presence is very important when conducting business,” he said, pointing to a Volkswagen beside him, “Like if someone comes to meet me for business in a Passat, I can hardly be bothered to talk to them.”

Watching the satisfied Gao Qiming on the big screen, Wang Hao, who was drinking water, spat it out with a “pfft.”

The audience below exclaimed, “Oh——”

Sun Miaoyun pursed her lips and chuckled, “Mr. Zheng, seems like your status isn’t high enough, huh?”

Zheng Qitian sighed helplessly, “Indeed, he’s pretty showy… ”

Wei Ming laughed and slapped his thigh wildly—this Gao Qiming was simply too full of himself, boasting and showing off his wealth, who knows where he borrowed all these things from, the fun is sure to increase later on, curious to see how the show will wrap up!

“I also like Tang poetry and Song Ci, like Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi; I often read them. Additionally, I’m very fond of some traditional ethnic musical instruments, like the guzheng, flute, xiao, and so on,” Gao Qiming continued, “Generally, when the weather is nice, I’ll go out and practice my voice, which is straightforward, just by calling out someone’s name—Wu~~Ah~~Yi~~~”

The entire audience burst into laughter, “Hahaha!”

Zheng Qitian couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Is he here to be funny?”

Then on the women guests’ side, “Bang, bang, bang, bang…” four more lights went out!

The clip ended, and Wang Hao looked around the room, satisfied, he nodded to himself, “Nine lights left! Not bad, quite amiable!” Yeah, let’s give this guy some face for now, let’s see how he performs later! Hope he doesn’t force me to act!

At this moment, quite a few female guests raised their hands, and Meng Fei said, “Okay, let’s see what questions the women guests have, number seven.”

Female guest number seven, “Mr. Gao, I think you’re quite a successful person, so why haven’t you found a partner up to now? Is it because you insist that the other person must also be knowledgeable in traditional culture?”

“Yes,” Gao Qiming nodded and said, “I believe if someone doesn’t know traditional culture, they’re simply not fit to be a person from the Heavenly People’s Republic. I have very high standards for a girlfriend; she must be understanding, tolerant and indulgent, modest and respectful, gentle and elegant. She must be delicate, gentle, modest, and at the same time, passionate, profound, pure-hearted, and enthusiastic. And of course, she must come from a matching family background; I think it would be pretty hard to get along with a woman who comes from poor background conditions.”

“Bang, bang, bang!” As soon as he finished speaking, another five lights went out!

Now it got a bit awkward, Gao Qiming’s requirements were indeed too high…

Wei Ming, smiling and teasing below, fanned the flames with Zheng Qitian, “Mr. Zheng, look at this lousy show, they don’t know how to pick the guests, they brought up such a joker, eh, it’s not very entertaining.”

Mr. Zheng Qitian smiled and shook his head, “I actually find it quite interesting. Let’s not rush, we’re here now, so let’s see how it goes.”

At that moment, Meng Fei pointed at number eleven, “Number eleven, please go ahead.”

Number eleven, the female guest, asked, “So, Mr. Gao, what exactly are the ‘Four Books and Five Classics’?

“The ‘Four Books’ refer to ‘University,’ ‘Doctrine of the Mean,’ ‘Analects,’ and ‘Mengzi,'” Gao Qiming answered with a smile, “and the ‘Five Classics’ refer to ‘Book of Poetry,’ ‘Chief of Staff,’ ‘Ritual Records,’ ‘Zhou Yi,’ and ‘Spring and Autumn Annals.’ Are you satisfied with my answer?”

Number eleven nodded, “Satisfied.”

The entire audience let out an “Oh” sound.

“That’s some substance,” Mr. Zheng Qitian said from the audience, “No wonder this guy is showing off—he does have some skills.”

Wei Ming thought to himself, “Isn’t that obvious? If Gao Qiming is sent here to cause trouble, he definitely needs to have these basic pieces of knowledge.”

Meng Fei then pointed at the twenty-fourth female guest, “Number twenty-four.”

Number twenty-four asked, “Mr. Gao, you said your ideal partner should at least be understanding, tolerant, modest and respectful, gently elegant. Not only does she need to have a delicate, submissive, and reserved side, but also a lingering, profound, pure, and passionate side, and moreover, she must be your equal in social standing. Do you think such a woman exists?”

After hearing the question, Gao Qiming laughed and said, “Why wouldn’t she exist? I think Ice Princess Bai Yaning perfectly meets all my criteria.”

Wang Hao nearly choked on a mouthful of water—so this old man is also my rival in love?

By acting like this on stage and in the video, is he aiming to confess to our Ice Princess?

Of course, he couldn’t say that out loud—he decided to wait and see.

“Alright,” seeing that the questions were almost done, Meng Fei pointed to the big screen, “Let’s watch the next video clip.”

The second video clip was about his romantic history. They heard Gao Qiming say in the video, “My partner must have an appreciation for classical literature, but it’s a pity that my last one just couldn’t get into it, and we had to break up in the end. In fact, there are quite a few girls in real life who pursue me, but either their cultural level isn’t high enough, or their background isn’t right, I haven’t been willing to accept them. So, I’ve come to ‘If You Are the One’ this time, hoping to find a girl that’s right for me…”

While the video was playing on stage, Liu Qisheng, who was watching the program’s recording backstage, suddenly exclaimed, “Stop! Stop!”

An assistant asked, “Mr. Liu, what’s happening?”

“Rewind the camera footage,” Liu Qisheng ordered urgently, “Yes, yes, slow down, slow down… Good, stop!” When the camera stopped, Liu Qisheng looked at the three people sitting in the frame and was surprised, “Zheng Qitian! He’s also here! And Wei Ming! Damn!”

The secretary asked quietly, “Mr. Liu, do you know these three people?”

“Duh!” Liu Qisheng said excitedly, “Do you know who Zheng Qitian is? The CEO of Duobao Herbal Tea! His presence here—don’t you see why I’m excited?!”

The secretary was also astonished, “Ah? CEO of Duobao Herbal Tea! I heard their company spends tens of millions on advertising every year!”

“Exactly,” Liu Qisheng said, stroking his chin and pondering carefully, “What does it mean for him to come here today? And he’s accompanied by that Wei Ming?! That Wei Ming is the sales director of our biggest rival TV station! His presence here… could it be…”

Liu Qisheng quickly thought for a moment and then his eyes lit up, “He must be here to talk about advertising business! Definitely! To put it simply, Zheng Qitian’s ads at Wei Ming’s TV station have expired, and now Wei Ming has come to him asking to sign for the next year. But Zheng Qitian mustn’t have agreed, which is why they are appearing here…”

As an experienced player in the industry, Liu Qisheng quickly made sense of the situation, “What to do, how can we keep him at our TV station? Tens of millions in advertising revenue a year! That damned Wei Ming, he’s poached clients many times before, and now he’s in touch with Zheng Qitian again, damn it!”
