Chapter 256: Am I That Charming?

Dig one every ten minutes, wouldn't that be three in thirty minutes?

A self-fulfilling prophecy!

Lin Sui sent one MM away, then connected to a GG.

Guan Miao: "..."

She would not let these people terminate their contracts, she would not!

She had terminated Chen Yangxing's contract before because she felt he was a troublemaker who would make a scene over the smallest thing, so she simply let him go.

The others shouldn't even think about following in Chen Yangxing's footsteps!

That damn Lin Sui, now she has made the employees in her Company lose their focus.

Just as she was trembling with rage, a pleasant male voice rang out above her head, "Do I look okay now?"

Guan Miao took a deep breath to calm her mood, looked up toward the source of the voice, and saw a handsome man whose face was slightly swollen.

She scrutinized the other person's face, finding it both familiar and somewhat strange.

It was Yong Xi, who had just finished plastic surgery and come to have his bandages removed today.

Young people really do recover quickly.

What Guan Miao liked most was Yong Xi's eyes; they looked very much like her first love's.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have had such a high tolerance for him.

But now that the surgery was done, they didn't seem to look as much alike anymore.

Guan Miao put her phone away, stood up from the hospital chair, and didn't look at him again.

"Still a bit swollen, it shouldn't be a problem if you turn the beauty filter up, go back and prepare, you'll start Live Streaming tomorrow."

She was going to get back everything she had lost!

Yong Xi: "..."

He had become handsome, so why was she suddenly cold?

Does this boss have a fetish for ugly people?

Ah... well, one couldn't exactly say that about his former self.

ˉ

Lin Sui wasn't sure if the people at GM Company would try hard to jump ship, but her Company had recently received quite a few applications from people wanting to be Live Streamers.

It could be considered that the recruitment advertisement had been put out.

With the way she was "multi-level marketing" everywhere every day, it was hard for people not to take notice, and they all wanted to come and try to see if it was really as good as she said.

During this period, in her Live Streaming content, if Lin Sui encountered a Live Streamer without a company, she would directly offer an olive branch; if she encountered a Live Streamer from another company, she wouldn't bring it up.

If she encountered a Live Streamer from GM Company, then it got interesting.

Lin Sui would have to act a bit before tricking them into jumping ship; it was truly heartfelt, enough to make the listener sad and bring tears to their eyes.

However, ever since she connected with a few people in front of Guan Miao that day, she might have held a meeting back at the company, and recently these GGs and MMs would hang up as soon as they connected to her.

The fun of Lin Sui poaching people during Live Streaming was cut in half.

During the Live Streaming this day, she was hung up on again by a Live Streamer with a GG prefix, and Lin Sui couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Miao'er is still angry at me; before, she would secretly send Live Streamers to leech off my popularity, but now she doesn't even send me Live Streamers anymore."

Not even leeching off the popularity, how boring is that.

Everyone: "..."

They've all been scared off by your poaching!

She probably didn't know what the situation inside GM Company was like right now.

According to some anonymous staff members at GM Company, half of the regular staff had already run off.

Live Streamers with contracts were also preparing not to renew when they expired.

If this company couldn't recruit anyone else, it was estimated that there wouldn't be many people left after the New Year.

Ever since Guan Miao kicked out her ex-husband, who had been managing the company, and Yang Xing, the company's popular Live Streamer, the morale had already scattered.

If even those who had accompanied the company for so long and had even brought the company significant profit could be kicked out just like that, how could they, as ordinary people, possibly expect better treatment?

It was better to cut losses and run early.

Many people at GM Company thought this way; now that Guan Miao wouldn't let any of them go, she naturally had to be on guard against Lin Sui.

Lin Sui glanced at the time and didn't continue connecting to others, instead watching the Live Streaming of the talent show.

It was the finale tonight, time to see who the champion was.

If there were no surprises, it would definitely be Yan Xing'ai.

But if there were no surprises, there would definitely be a surprise.

After all, she hadn't heard of any counter-moves from Xiangcai Jie's company recently.

Yan Xing'ai's scandals had been hanging there for a few days; although some people were cursing, most of the onlookers eating melons didn't think it was a big deal.

Bad at studying?

It's not like everyone has a talent for studying.

Having talent in singing and dancing is also a skill.

Retaliating against a scamming female Live Streamer?

Calling it retaliation is more like "showing off."

Through this method, telling the other party: I have now found a female Live Streamer better-looking than you, and you are no longer on the list here, that kind of feeling.

After all, she only found another Live Streamer to PK with the other party; she didn't even make the other party pay back the money.

That was hundreds of thousands!

Besides, was that female Live Streamer not in the wrong?

PK lost and she still hasn't paid the penalty money to Lin Sui; what is there to sympathize with about such a person?

As for the question of Yan Xing'ai's sexual orientation?

There's nothing black to dig up, so they find this kind of topic to talk about.

She hasn't gotten in anyone's way, hasn't taken a fancy to you, hasn't dated, was even scammed out of money the one time she tried online dating, and hasn't harmed any young girls; isn't she better than a bunch of scum celebrities in the industry?

Most of the onlookers kept this attitude, and with Lin Sui's support, it didn't affect Yan Xing'ai's ranking.

As it turned out, the champion announced at the end of the show was—

Fu Baihui!

This result left everyone at the scene stunned.

The scene was silent for about five seconds, then a cry of "Rigged!" pierced the sky.

This was the third-place contestant on the voting leaderboard.

She performed exceptionally well tonight and received unanimous high scores from the mentor group.

But if getting high scores from the mentor group is enough to take first place, then what was the point of the fans' voting for so long?

The public screen in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room was also full of the words "Rigged."

Lin Sui was quite calm; although she didn't know who would win the championship, she knew it definitely wouldn't be Yan Xing'ai tonight.

After all, Xiangcai Jie hadn't reacted at all, which gave people the feeling that they were easy to bully.

Next were the acceptance speeches for the top three.

Yan Xing'ai was pushed down to second place, and she looked exceptionally calm as well.

On the show, she wasn't as enthusiastic as she had been in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room.

But she was still very lively tonight, being able to smile even in the face of such a situation.

After the third-place winner gave her speech, she took the microphone and said with a grin, "Actually, I had already anticipated this result, but I thought second place would surpass me; I didn't expect third place to surpass both of us, it's quite funny."

"Regarding this, my boss should have something to say."

The climax of this Live Streaming arrived!

Without any warning, Xiangcai Jie walked onto the stage with a powerful aura, accompanied by her legal team and bodyguards, pushing past the host and other contestants on stage.

She exposed the events of this recent period and the rigging scheme between the show production team and a certain investment Company.

She hadn't failed to prepare a counterattack; she had intended to strike a fatal blow during the show.

Debuting by stepping on others' hard work?

Then don't debut at all!

Yan Xing'ai wasn't the champion, but she still had the Company to support her after the show.

As for Fu Baihui, now that everyone knows she is a "rigged royal" contestant, is there anyone still willing to invite her onto a show?

Perhaps there might be some ordinary rigging.

But on the show, Xiangcai Jie laid out every single one of the shady operations of the company behind Fu Baihui, and added that Fu Baihui had also spent plenty of money on Yan Xing'ai's recent smear campaign.

After this wave, she collapsed completely, and the reputation of the company behind her plummeted.

Who would still dare to hire her?

The show production team saw that things were going poorly and prepared to cut the Live Streaming halfway through.

But after all the cameras were cut, one machine was still lit, unable to be turned off, and the scene was still being broadcasted.

The show production team hurriedly sent people to find the cameraman for that machine and told him to turn off the camera.

The scene was in chaos.

When the staff went over, they were blocked by a group of bodyguards.

Xiangcai Jie was also an investor in the show, and could even be called the organizer.

It was she who proposed holding this show.

As if she didn't know this would happen!

They wanted to rig the show right under her nose and then not let her finish speaking?

Dream on!

The cameraman was protected in the middle, filming the stage with peace of mind, broadcasting to the audience.

Until someone shouted, "Jiang Fengliu?"

The cameraman moved slightly.

Lin Sui and the people in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room: "..."

LV35 April Day: "Feng Liu Ge is still putting in the work!"

LV56 Lin Dan Da: "How is this guy taking private jobs everywhere? Can no one manage him? Sui-zi, what about you as his boss?"

Lin Sui sighed, "The kid likes doing this kind of work where he might get beaten up at any time, so let him do it."

Just now, watching those staff members aggressively go after the cameraman, it was nerve-wracking.

It's a good thing Xiangcai Jie sent bodyguards to protect him.

I didn't expect them to end up finding Feng Liu Ge after all.

It's time to make him split the money!

"Achoo—"

Feng Liu, who was recording, suddenly sneezed, feeling like someone was thinking of him.

ˉ

This Live Streaming of the show, under the persistence of Feng Liu Ge, was broadcast successfully.

However, it was no longer a talent show, but rather a one-sided output from Xiangcai Jie.

The bosses of other companies hurriedly came out to distance themselves, saying they knew nothing about these matters.

She couldn't let them get implicated.

Sending their own artists to debut, only to fail to get a ranking, and then having their Company get scolded—wouldn't that be a huge loss?

After pointing these things out, Xiangcai Jie didn't forget to ask the boss on the other side.

"Boss Guan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Feng Liu lived up to his professional reputation; he immediately locked the camera onto Boss Guan sitting in the audience, zoomed in, and shoved the lens into his face to admire his micro-expressions.

The man called Boss Guan said nothing, let out a cold snort, stood up, and walked away, giving no response at all.

No response is the best response.

He tacitly admitted that these things were done by their Company, and he hadn't expected Xiangcai Jie to point it out during the Live Streaming of the show, leaving him with no face at all.

The incident was too sudden; he had no strategy to deal with it now and could only leave.

Once he left, the only ones left to suffer were the artists from his Company.

They were surrounded by major media outlets, packed tight, asking them for their opinions.

Especially Fu Baihui, who felt like she was being pierced by eyes on stage and wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

She just had a bit of money and wanted to buy a debut spot, so she asked the Company for a favor.

The Company insisted on pushing her to first place...

Well, actually, she also wanted to be the champion.

But she didn't expect it to backfire.

"Boss Guan? Did I hear that right? Xiangcai Jie just called him Boss Guan, right?"

Lin Sui listened to Xiangcai Jie's recent statement and grasped the key point in her words.

The surname Guan made Lin Sui feel somewhat concerned.

LV70 Fenghua Meng Zeming: "You didn't hear wrong, this Boss Guan is Guan Miao's father."

Meng Zeming suddenly appeared in her Live Streaming Room.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, instead of being a backseat driver now?" Lin Sui took a deep breath.

No wonder Guan Miao appeared in her Live Streaming Room the day she expressed support for Yan Xing'ai, asking her why she was always working against her.

It seems Guan Miao knew about her father's shady dealings, so Lin Sui supporting Yan Xing'ai really did count as working against her.

It all connects, it all connects!

LV70 Fenghua Meng Zeming: "I only just found out about this too, let's talk privately."

He dropped this line and called Lin Sui.

Gossiping about this kind of thing in the Live Streaming Room is very likely to cause trouble.

Lin Sui hesitated for a moment; Xiangcai Jie was still on a roll, so she shouldn't lose.

She didn't worry about it anymore, said a quick greeting, and went off-air to talk to Meng Zeming on the phone.

Everyone in the Live Streaming Room: "..."

What kind of gossip is there that they aren't allowed to hear?!

After answering the phone, Meng Zeming got straight to the point: "GM Company was a wedding gift from that Boss Guan to Guan Miao. Their whole family is in the entertainment company business, and furthermore, they are very familiar with your former boss, so Guan Miao targeting you like this might not just be because you poached Yang Xing."

"Hey, be precise!" Lin Sui interrupted him, "It was Yang Xing who jumped ship to me; I never poached him."

Meng Zeming: "..."

Every time you ask, she says she didn't poach anyone, but in reality, she's dying to pry everyone away from GM Company!

Lin Sui: "I really didn't poach this one."

She wouldn't explain if she were accused of poaching others, but for this one, she really didn't.

Meng Zeming: "Let's not talk about that. So, what do you plan to do? She's so angry lately, it's possible her dad will take action."

Lin Sui was puzzled, "What if her dad takes action? Every move he makes is a disaster; if he doesn't urgently handle public relations for this incident, let alone the entertainment company, even GM Company won't be able to be saved."

A total collapse.

A company that likes to engage in shady dealings—which platform would still dare to invite their artists to participate in a show?

It can be considered as being on the verge of following in the footsteps of GM Company.

"You have a point." Meng Zeming thought for a moment, "I'm just worried she'll go complain to her dad."

Lin Sui: "If she complains, I'll complain to Xiangcai Jie too! I think Xiangcai Jie would be very happy to deal with her dad."

After all, solving that would mean one less entertainment company as a competitor.

"... Your connections are truly vast." Meng Zeming couldn't help but exclaim.

She has connections in the entertainment industry, the business world, and even the political circle!

How can Guan Miao not think it through and keep provoking her?

Does she just see that her Company is relatively small and think she's easy to bully?

Just because the Company is small only means she doesn't have enough money yet to expand, it doesn't mean she has no one behind her.

"Eh." Lin Sui said modestly: "Actually, I'm not that close with them."

She isn't very close with these big shots, it's just that the sons and daughters of these big shots happen to be in her hands.

"By the way, there's one more thing to tell you." Meng Zeming said: "Recently, another handsome Live Streamer has emerged on the Sha Shou Platform, and his popularity is fierce."

"You want me to poach him?" Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "No, if it's such a good thing, you would have poached him yourself."

"Could it be from GM Company?"

Other than that, Lin Sui couldn't figure out why he would bring this up to her.

Meng Zeming warned: "No prefix, but I suspect it is; it's likely someone they're cultivating to suppress you."

Lin Sui: "……Have I become this charming?"
