Chapter 1824 The End of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room
After tearing off the white tape on the health products, Fang Qiu directly showed the brands of these products to the camera without any scruples.
Then, he continued with the show.
Just like in the first and second episodes, Fang Qiu roasted all kinds of health products that had been prepared in advance. The only difference was that in this episode, Fang Qiu was not as obscure as before. Instead, he exposed everything about those products, including all the false publicity as he introduced the products to the public.
Although the third episode was not as peaceful and funny as the first and second episodes, Fang Qiu’s letter at the beginning of the show touched everyone, so Fang Qiu was very agitated and the audience listened attentively.
Those healthcare product promotion companies that were shameless and harmful to the people, and harboring evil intentions deserved to be stuck to the moral shame pillar forever and despised by everyone.
As Fang Qiu began to openly roast those companies on TV, the ratings of the third episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room were also soaring.
The ratings of the third episode exceeded 5% after the highest ratings, 4.5%, of the second episode.
When the show was over, the news that the ratings exceeded 5% soon spread throughout Zhongzhou TV Station.
At this moment, Mr. Wang, the head of Zhongzhou TV Station, was in his office, frowning and thinking about how to explain it to the higher-ups.
After all, the person he couldn’t afford to offend personally called him and clearly asked him to take down the show first.
Over the past few days, he had been thinking about how to explain it to those higher-ups.
He had promised Fang Qiu that he would never stop Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room from airing.
But now, a week had passed, and it was time for Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room to broadcast again. The person who called him personally was watching.
The show was broadcast normally, so the one who had called him would definitely be displeased.
“What should I do to deal with it?”
Because of this problem, Mr. Wang didn’t even pay attention to the ratings of the third episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room. Instead, he had been sitting in the office and waiting for the blame call from the higher-ups.
It was obviously impossible for him to take the initiative to call the higher-ups to solve this matter. He could only wait for punishment.
Strangely, he waited until the end of the show, but the phone on his desk did not ring. But even so, he did not dare to be careless. He continued to stay in front of the desk and wait for the call.
At this moment-
“Knock, knock, knock…”
There was a knock on the door.
The head of the TV station tightened his body and immediately asked, “Who is it?”
“Mr. Wang, it’s me.”
Outside the door, a familiar voice came. The one who had arrived said, “There’s good news.”
As the staff member spoke, he pushed the door open and came in.
He didn’t care about the worried look on Mr. Wang’s face at all. Instead, he ran over excitedly and said, “5%. The ratings of the third episode have exceeded 5%!”
“Got it.”
Mr. Wang, who was annoyed, raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and asked the staff member to leave.
The staff member took a look and found that Mr. Wang didn’t seem to be as passionate as he was in the past two weeks.
“There seems to be something wrong with him.”
Not daring to disturb Mr. Wang, the staff member quickly turned around and left.
But when he reached the door-
“5%. 5%…”
Mr. Wang, who was sitting in front of the desk, suddenly came to his senses. Then, he stood up and said, “What did you say? Say it again!”
The staff member turned around and said, “The ratings of the third episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room have exceeded 5%!”
“The show is over?”
The top leader of the TV station was confused.
“It’s been ten minutes since it was over.”
The staff was stunned.
“In the first two episodes, Mr. Wang paid the most attention to this show. Every time, he seized the right time to greet Fang Qiu and took the initiative to invite everyone to a dinner to celebrate. But today, it seems that something’s wrong with him.”
“Ten minutes?”
The head of the TV station looked at the telephone on the desk. He then immediately bypassed the desk, rushed to the door of the office, and looked out.
He heard cheers everywhere in the whole building.
Apparently, everyone was cheering for the rise of the ratings.
“Is it really over 5%?”
Mr. Wang grabbed the shoulder of the staff beside him. The sadness on his face gradually disappeared and was replaced by excitement.
“Yes, really!”
The staff immediately nodded with a smile and said, “The ratings of this episode are higher than this year’s Young Chinese Medicine Doctor!”
“5%!”
Mr. Wang laughed excitedly.
He knew that more than ten minutes had passed since the show was over, but the higher-ups had not called yet, so probably, no one would hold him accountable. Moreover, the ratings were definitely the best at the moment.
Even the higher-ups found it difficult to overlook this kind of achievement.
That was to say, it was very likely that the higher-ups were also shocked by this rating.
“Send me the recording of this episode. I want to watch it now.”
Mr. Wang gave an order and then couldn’t wait to go back to his desk and sit down. After receiving the recording, he immediately clicked on it to watch it.
As soon as he started watching, his expression changed.
He figured out why the ratings were so high.
It was because Fang Qiu got serious in this episode.
If this went on, the ratings would definitely be higher.
There were three more episodes to go.
After watching this episode, Mr. Wang decided that no matter whether the higher-ups would continue to target this show or not, even if he had to risk his current position, he must keep this show going. He must let more audience see this show and assist Fang Qiu to make more people realize the scam and harm of healthcare product promotion.
In the following week, the legal team set up by Fang Qiu began to take action, helping many people who were incapable but were scammed by healthcare product promotion to seek justice.
All the major healthcare product promotion companies were also deeply troubled by this legal team.
However, this group of people was still discussing how to deal with Fang Qiu and completely solve this problem.
Unfortunately, before they could come to a conclusion, the National Medical Products Administration had already taken action, and health products all over the country had been strictly cracked down.
In the blink of an eye, the businessmen who had been deeply troubled by Fang Qiu’s legal team were even more embarrassed by the severe striking. They hid everywhere, looking for various ways to get through this period of severe striking.
Therefore, their plan to target Fang Qiu was set aside.
The whole country was in turmoil.
However, Fang Qiu didn’t care about any of the ongoing events.
He continued to prepare for his show.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
The fourth episode officially began.
Because of the effort of the third episode, the whole show received a lot of discussion and attention from netizens.
The fourth episode received more viewers.
Fang Qiu still openly targeted the major healthcare products without covering the brand names on the show.
Whether it was the original audience or the new ones who were affected by the third episode, after seeing the performance of Fang Qiu on the show, they all applauded.
On the Internet.
Under the siege of the netizens, those companies that conducted healthcare product promotion were exposed and targeted by everyone.
At the same time, the ratings of the fourth episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room had also reached 5.6%.
This rating caused a huge sensation all over the country.
No one could expect that after the record made by the third episode, the ratings of the fourth episode could be even higher.
The leaders of Zhongzhou TV Station were very excited.
The higher-ups never called again, as if the previous request to take down Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room had never happened.
Of course, those healthcare product promotion companies didn’t have time to pay attention to the show at all.
A week later, the fifth episode was on air.
The ratings increased slightly, and the highest ratings reached 5.8%, which was unprecedented.
Although the rise in the ratings for this episode was not high, this kind of achievement was enough to make everyone at the TV station excited.
After all, this was record-breaking.
At the end of the fifth episode, there was only one episode left.
Not just the members of the TV station but also countless netizens were very expectant. They were very eager to see if the last episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room would break the record again and have ratings of 6%.
Under the expectation of everyone, the sixth episode of Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room was aired smoothly without any hindrance.
With the support of the public, including all Fang Qiu’s fans and the netizens who supported him, the ratings for the last episode of the show successfully exceeded 6% and reached 6.2%.
“At last, I want to thank the leaders of Zhongzhou TV Station for giving me a free hand and such a good platform. Secondly, I want to thank all the viewers and thank you for your support. It is your support that allows more people to watch this show and realize the harm of healthcare product promotion.”
At the end of the sixth episode, Fang Qiu stood in front of the livestream camera and made a speech.
“Thank you, everyone. At the same time, I also want to give those healthcare product promotion companies a special warning. Although this is the last episode of the show, the end of the show doesn’t mean that this matter is over. If there are more scams, I WILL be back!”
His words were met with cheers from the crowd.
With the applause of the netizens online, Xiao Fang’s Lecture Room officially came to an end.
Early the next morning.
A bombshell showed that the bosses of several notorious healthcare product promotion companies had been arrested, and some other healthcare product companies suspected of violating the rules and false advertisements had also been closed down.
The news made everyone in the country clap and cheer.
“I’ve done a good deed.”
Seeing the news, Fang Qiu also sighed with a smile and began to pack up his luggage, ready to leave the capital.
But at that moment, his phone rang.
