After confirming the cooperation with the Central Television Station, the official Weibo of the Central Television Station, Star Brilliance and The Return of the Crimson Child began to promote it.

Even publicity efforts about “The Return of the Crimson Child” was added into the variety show produced by Star Brilliance.

Many netizens were impressed by Star Brilliance’s boldness after seeing the promotional efforts of The Return of the Crimson Child. However, they were finally surprised when they saw the TV station they were working with.

[If I’m not wrong, ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ is going to be broadcasted on the Central Television Station! Oh my god! Is this true?! That’s the Central Television Station!]

[Previously, there were even people who said that ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ could not be broadcasted. No television station was willing to broadcast it. Ha! I’m really dying of laughter. Look at the appearance of ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’! The Central Television Station is already willing to broadcast ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’, so what need is there to care if it would go on-screen or not!]

[I wonder if those people’s faces are swollen this time! I love to watch such a large-scale face-slapping scene! Hahahaha! I actually saw people who had been slandering “The Return of the Crimson Child” and Star Brilliance deleting their previous posts!]

[How could it be the Central Television Station! Is there capital behind this Star Brilliance that we don’t know about? Although “The Return of the Crimson Child” looks good, it’s just a melodramatic plot. How can the Central Television Station want such a television drama!]

Some people looked forward to The Return of the Crimson Child even more because of the Central Television Station, but there were also many people who doubted the Central Television Station’s decision.

However, the Central Television Station was different from other local stations. No matter how many doubts there were online, they still continued to promote it gradually.

While Gu Xiao received countless congratulatory calls, Ji Gao saw the news online and smashed everything in the office again.

When the secretary outside heard the banging sounds in Ji Gao’s office, he couldn’t help but lower his head and shrink his neck. Ji Gao’s secretary exchanged looks with the others for a while but still had no intention of going in to ask.

And no matter how angry Ji Gao was in the office, no matter how messy the office was, he could not stop the broadcast of “The Return of the Crimson Child”.

After all, no matter how capable he was, he could not casually change the decision made by the Central Television Station.

He had also thought about scheming and lay down traps for the actors and director in ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’, but he did not know what Gu Xiao had done, but the actors who acted in ‘The Return of the Crimson Child’ stayed at home obediently?.

Especially after knowing that this television drama was scheduled on Central Television Station, he became even more careful.

Even if he wanted to deliberately cause some horrendous artiste to be exposed, he could not seize a feasible opportunity. He could only watch as the airing time for “The Return of the Crimson Child” was approaching.

After knowing that Ji Gao had smashed the office, Ji Chen called Gu Xiao in a good mood to share the joy he got from Ji Gao at this moment.

Finally, under the anticipation of the netizens, Gu Xiao, and the others, the first episode of “The Return of the Crimson Child” was finally broadcasted on the national channel.

Central Television Station had a basic guaranteed viewership rating. In the first episode of “The Return of the Crimson Child”, the viewership ratings reached 1.6. At the end of the first episode, it was infinitely close to 2.0.

Those who were originally against the broadcast of “The Return of the Crimson Child” on the national television station stopped opposing it when they saw the viewership ratings.

There was not much off in the first and second episodes and the promotion and trailers released by Star Brilliance. However, as more and more episodes of “The Return of the Crimson Child” were broadcasted, some netizens finally began to react.

[Could the female protagonist in “The Return of the Crimson Child” be Gu Xiao?]

[The person above is really shameless! He actually said that the female lead in “The Return of the Crimson Child” is Gu Xiao! Could the person above be Gu Xiao’s fan? I really vomited. Why is he so confident?! ]

[To be honest, some plot details are really similar. If not for some specific details, it would not be too different from Gu Xiao’s experience!]

Originally, it was just a casual comment posted by one of the netizens online. However, in the subsequent discussion, more and more people paid attention to this matter.

There were even many netizens who began to re-collect the experiences that Gu Xiao had exposed online to compare with the experiences of the female lead in “The Return of the Crimson Child.”

More and more people were discussing these things. The popularity of “The Return of the Crimson Child” was getting higher and higher, and more and more people sensed that there was something off about this drama.
