Chapter 176: One Person Acts, One Person Bears the Consequences
Meng Zeming put the potato chips outside the camera's view and stopped eating them.
He was afraid that Meng Ke would make him angry again in a moment.
Meng Ke took a deep breath, calming her mood.
She thought that perhaps Meng Zeming had bought them casually and had not placed an order in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.
She could only comfort herself this way.
"If you want to eat them, I'll send you some."
"Haha... Aunt, how old am I now? I don't like eating these things."
Meng Zeming wiped his mouth, feeling very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that Meng Ke held shares in the Company and was also a relative, he wouldn't be this humble.
Don't look at how her company is doing poorly now; the small snacks it produced back in the day were popular all over the country and were the rage in schools of all sizes.
But her shareholding in the Company is not high.
This is the point that makes Meng Zeming the most uncomfortable.
A middle-aged person who has loved to struggle all his life, she likes to point fingers at his Company just because she has a few shares.
He wants to buy them back, but out of consideration for the fact that she is a relative, he feels too embarrassed to bring it up.
Sigh... when will these days ever end?
"I have already asked someone to send some new products to your Company," Meng Ke said, ignoring Meng Zeming's words and speaking to herself.
Meng Zeming came back to his senses and caught a whiff of an unusual scent, "New products? For me to taste test, or...?"
He felt there was a conspiracy.
Sure enough, the next second he heard Meng Ke say: "It's enough if you just want to taste them; let the big Live Streamers at your Company promote the goods for me with the rest."
Meng Zeming: "..."
"Ji Mo is sick recently and is in the hospital; he has already asked for leave," he made an excuse, hoping the other party could understand his refusal.
Who would have expected Meng Ke to say dismissively: "I don't want Ji Mo, find a prettier female Live Streamer. I heard that the so-called 'Number One Sister' of your Company has returned? Just let her do it!"
Meng Zeming: "... She is more expensive than Ji Mo."
Meng Ke: "I can afford the money!"
Meng Zeming: "..."
This isn't a matter of whether one can afford the money or not.
Meng Ke: "I haven't even settled the score with you for leaking secrets to Lin Sui! Consider this a task to be done!"
"... Fine." Looking at her expression, Meng Zeming had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
After the other party hung up the video call, he looked at the potato chips by the table and thought about how this stuff was bought by A Fu from Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.
He seemed to realize something.
Has the commercial war begun in such a simple way?
The next evening, Yu Qingyu successfully started selling goods.
Lin Sui had only sold them for one day, and the factory was already out of stock.
Tonight, she was preparing to find some new fun to play with during the Live Streaming, and accidentally swiped onto Yu Qingyu's Live Streaming.
Seeing such a great beauty holding nostalgic small snacks in the Live Streaming Room to introduce them, and taking a bite from time to time.
Lin Sui suddenly felt a bit of pity.
Especially when she was eating small spicy strips with her mouth full of oil.
An elegant-looking beauty eating cheap spicy strips—it didn't look like the same style at all.
Sure enough, one shouldn't set up a persona that is too serious, otherwise doing something slightly out of character will make the persona seem particularly shattered.
But thinking that Meng Ke might have given Yu Qingyu a lot of slotting fees, Lin Sui couldn't feel pity anymore.
For the sake of money, one always has to lose something...
For example, reputation; for example, fans.
Lin Sui only stayed at the entrance of Yu Qingyu's Live Streaming Room for a while before swiping away.
Yu Qingyu had only returned for two days before she couldn't wait to start selling goods to make money; the fans who had waited for her for so long would mostly feel very disappointed.
If she had just streamed for a while longer before selling goods, there would have been much less controversy.
Sometimes when people want to court disaster, you can't stop them even if you try.
Lin Sui swiped to a few more Live Streaming Rooms to watch.
Suddenly, she swiped onto a variety show that was being broadcast in its entirety.
It claimed to be the first talent show variety program on the Yinfu Platform.
On the screen, there happened to be a handsome girl with a wolf-tail haircut introducing herself.
The voice sounded like Ke Ai Gui.
"Huh? My sister Ke Ai's trainee career won't end just like that, right?" Lin Sui asked.
It seemed she really hadn't seen Ke Ai Gui come to her Live Streaming Room tonight.
LV47 Feng Liu: "It's her."
Lin Sui was a bit surprised, "You've met her?"
After asking, she felt she was being too talkative.
There probably isn't a celebrity that Feng Liu Ge doesn't know.
LV47 Feng Liu: "Do you want to follow my main account?"
Anyone who follows him knows that he has already gone to Ke Ai Gui's training camp for an interview.
There was no helping it; their boss, Xiangcai Jie, paid way too much.
He was actually willing to help promote it.
That's how marketing accounts work; they can be scolding someone in the last video and then praising them to the skies in the next.
As long as there is money, having one's left brain fight the right brain is the norm.
LV28 April Sky: "@Feng Liu, what? You have a main account? You have other women behind the Live Streamer's back?"
LV63 Sui Feng San Fu: "Oh?"
A Fu had always thought Feng Liu was very "devoted"; he hadn't expected him to have main and alt accounts too.
LV47 Feng Liu: "What are you all surprised about? I have a proper job too! Work accounts and private accounts must be kept separate!"
LV46 Yan Yu: "His proper job is being an internet troll."
LV28 April Sky: "... That fits our stereotype of him perfectly."
LV47 Feng Liu: "? Get lost!"
It had also been a long time since Yan Yushu had used an alt account to come to Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.
Appearing suddenly while Ke Ai Gui was not around meant he most likely had something to do.
Everyone was so familiar with each other that he didn't stand on ceremony at all and stated his purpose directly.
LV46 Yan Yu: "Stop watching from the doorway, click in, and hurry up and vote for my little sister!"
Ke Ai Gui had spent so much money "voting" for Lin Sui; it was time for Lin Sui to return the favor!
There was no need for him to say it; Lin Sui took the initiative to click into the Live Streaming Room.
It wasn't any formal competition inside, just the daily routine of the training camp.
Filming what these trainees usually do and how they practice to give the audience a first impression of them.
It was probably to build up some popularity for the future broadcast.
And there was already a popularity ranking list.
You vote for whichever trainee you like, and it is said that the top ten get extra rewards.
Yan Yushu had come specifically to canvass for votes for Ke Ai Gui.
For the next month, Ke Ai Gui would have even less time to play with her phone.
Because it would be live-streamed the entire time until the competition officially began.
She couldn't come to promote it herself, so only he, as her brother, could come.
Lin Sui clicked into the ranking list and took a look.
She had just heard Ke Ai Gui's self-introduction; her real name was Yan Xing'ai, a very pleasant name.
It was a pity that her ranking was not high.
There were one hundred trainees in total, and she was ranked outside the top sixty.
Yan Yushu must not have promoted it on his official blog, otherwise, her ranking wouldn't be this low.
"This ranking..." Lin Sui hesitated for a moment and cast ten votes for Yan Xing'ai.
"My individual vote won't be enough..."
LV20 Please Call Me to Study: "Ahhhhhhh!!! Voted, voted! Sister Ke Ai should have said earlier that she looked like this; you say this whole thing is a mess..."
Lin Sui: "You all need to be more composed!"
LV15 Ai Chi La Tiao: "With such a handsome sister, I can't be composed at all!"
Lin Sui: "Little Ai Chi La Tiao, you didn't secretly go to the neighboring Live Streaming Room to place two orders just now, did you?"
LV15 Ai Chi La Tiao: "... Did you find out?"
Lin Sui: "Traitor!"
LV46 Yan Yu: "Stop worrying about these trivial things for now; audience in the Live Streaming Room, hurry up and go vote!"
"Wait a second, wait a second..." Lin Sui suddenly stopped the audience who wanted to go vote.
"Brother Yan Yu, I hope you understand that one must be responsible for one's own actions."
LV46 Yan Yu: "?"
