Chapter 320: Air-dropped Livestream Room, Su Yu's Gaze

July 21, 2023, Friday, Cloudy to Thunderstorm, 23~29c.

After being roasted by high temperatures for consecutive days, Yanjing finally welcomed rare cool weather.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Gao Mengting blurred her eyes, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and turned off the alarm skillfully.

Lazily scratching her somewhat messy long hair, she yawned and sat up.

The summer quilt on her body slid down naturally, revealing her bare body.

The firm chest, which could be held in one's hand, was in an upward posture, rising and falling with her breathing, drawing a tempting arc.

The smooth and delicate skin exuded a slight luster.

Her shoulders were round, her waist was slender, and the lines were soft and beautiful.

Her figure was very well-proportioned, well-proportioned from top to bottom, from inside to outside.

Exuding the unique charm of women.

Pulling the pillow over and leaning against it, Gao Mengting kicked off the quilt, picked up the book on the bedside, and continued reading.

Everything we experience has actually been experienced by someone else long ago.

Re-reading this "Love in the Time of Cholera," she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

"In the world of men, physical love is below the waist, and spiritual love is above the waist." Gao Mengting muttered to herself, "Then gentle and handsome partner, are you also like this?"

Although she was a decisive personality in work, she was unusually hesitant and fearful when facing feelings.

The main reason was that everything Tang Song showed gave her a great sense of distance.

Intuition told her that the other party might not be an ideal partner, and she should discard her selfish desires.

Just treat the other party as a partner in business, strive to make herself financially free, and then find her own other half.

But reality couldn't always be as one wished; just not seeing him for a week, the longing in her heart started to spread like weeds.

In the last two days, she occasionally used work and reading as excuses to chat with him.

Unknowingly, her brain was filled with him again.

Scratching her thick long hair, Gao Mengting put down the book and picked up the phone.

Gao Mengting opened the phone album and clicked on a video.

Inside was something she shot casually in the CEO's office; at that time, the company's organizational structure adjustment was completed, and both were very happy.

She held the phone and asked Tang Song what his thoughts were, but what she got in return was a big hug.

At that time, the partner was very happy, and even hugged her and spun around a few times.

In the picture, Tang Song walked over with a smile.

Tall, straight, confident, and calm, especially the smile with red lips and white teeth on his face, full of charm.

Gao Mengting's face flushed red, and she watched it several times.

Feeling her body start to get hot.

Fortunately, she also knew some water magic, and happened to be sleeping naked, so she could calm down quickly.

The phone was put aside.

Kindness was completely extinguished, and evil was born in her heart.

In the small room, the sound of chanting magic echoed, sometimes high, sometimes low, winding and long.

Gao Mengting's body tightened, her face flushed red like blood.

The magic was about to be cast.

"Knock-knock-knock—" A gentle knock sounded suddenly.

Outside the door came the voice of junior Cheng Qiuqiu: "Senior, I bought breakfast, let's eat together."

After saying that, she turned and left.

"Woo—" Gao Mengting quickly turned over and buried her head in the soft pillow.

The breath of surging tides appeared in the air.

Casting completed.

Gao Mengting lay on her back on the bed, breathing rapidly for a while, then stood up slowly and started tidying up.

A few minutes later, the bedroom door was slowly opened.

Gao Mengting, who had dressed well, walked out and greeted the junior who was eating.

As if nothing had happened, she drilled into the bathroom.

After another while, she finally came to the dining table calmly.

Rock sugar lotus leaf porridge, small steamed buns, chili vinegar dish, were her favorite combination.

"Thank you, Qiuqiu."

"It's okay, anyway I have to buy it, it'

While eating, she said with great interest, "Senior, have you watched that hit drama lately? I only found out about it yesterday, and I stayed up all night watching 5 episodes. I have to say, Bei Yuwei is absolutely killing it.

That sense of brokenness from being crushed as a nobody, combined with her resilience in going against the current, is so much more charming than the female lead!

I think it has a lot to do with her upbringing. I heard that at her previous agency, she encountered unspoken rules and was put on ice..."

As a die-hard fan of Su Yu, she felt a sense of pride that Bei Yuwei had become an internet sensation just one year after joining Tang Zong Entertainment.

Her idol was truly perfect; even the entertainment company she managed was this good.

"I don't know," Gao Mengting shook her head calmly. "I've been busy as hell lately. Our company's IP streamer is holding an event at Yunsheng Plaza today, and we've been preparing for a week."

"Oh, oh, tomorrow happens to be the weekend. I'll watch the update first, and then I'll accompany you, Senior, to binge it again."

"Mm, sure," Gao Mengting smiled, not taking it too seriously.

At 8:20 in the morning, the two of them went downstairs together.

The spirited Wuling Hongguang S slowly started up.

They first went to the Chengjing Business Building to drop off Cheng Qiuqiu, then drove toward the Yunxi Building.

As their relationship grew closer, there was less calculation between them and more warmth.

For instance, Cheng Qiuqiu took the initiative to buy breakfast in the morning, and Gao Mengting drove her to work.

Songmei Apparel.

"Good morning, President Gao."

"Morning."

"Morning, President Gao."

"Morning. Oh, right, Momo, have Yiyi come to my office in a bit."

"You got it!"

Walking into the spacious and bright "Executive Vice President's Office," Gao Mengting hung up her bag.

She brewed a pot of hot tea, sat behind her desk, opened her computer, and began to enter work mode.

She first logged into the OA system to take a look; all the work that required Tang Song's review had been completely processed.

Furthermore, for every review comment, he had provided the most reasonable and feasible suggestions.

Moreover, his thinking in their chats was clear and agile; whenever she raised doubts or questions, he could always provide results quickly.

Although he had been away for a week, his control over the company was clearer and more evident than ever before.

This made her refresh her perception of this partner and boss once again.

He was too outstanding!

"Knock, knock, knock—" A knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in!" Gao Mengting sat up straight and looked up.

The office door was gently pushed open, and He Liting stepped in, beaming, "President Gao, did you want to see me?"

"Sit down, Yiyi." Gao Mengting stood up and led her to sit on the sofa in the lounge area.

She personally poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her.

He Liting quickly took it with both hands, "Thank you."

"No need to be so formal," Gao Mengting smiled, affectionately taking her hand, "Yiyi, you were among the first batch of employees at the company and the first to become a permanent staff member. Both Tang Zong and I like you very much."

He Liting's eyes curved into crescents, "Mm-hmm, thank you for the leadership's appreciation for giving me such a great platform! I love the company, I love Tang Zong, and I love President Gao!"

When she said the words "love Tang Zong," He Liting's face felt a bit hot.

Saying this in front of Gao Mengting felt a bit like a provocation.

However, having spent so much time together, she knew this President Gao's character; she actually treated people as friends and also respected Gao Mengting very much.

She hoped that in the future, Qian Qian could get along well with her.

Gao Mengting reached out a hand and patted He Liting's head.

After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Yiyi, your account has been performing very well lately, and you have a fan base now. The future talent plan should go very smoothly.

I know the effort and heart you've put in, and now that it's just the two of us, I can state this clearly to you.

As long as your daily live-streaming GMV steadily exceeds 200,000 and you form an influential IP, the company will grant you a certain amount of equity incentive."

Hearing her promise, He Liting was shaken to her core; she quickly put down her teacup and stood up.

Her voice trembled slightly, "Thank you, President Gao! I... thank you!"

Equity incentive—becoming a shareholder of Songmei Apparel.

This news caused He Liting to lose control of her emotions instantly, her face flushed with excitement.

"Alright, alright, no need for that, Yiyi. Tang Zong and I reached a consensus on this long ago, and this portion of equity will also come out of my 25%. Good luck with tonight's live stream! Reach your goal soon!"

Gao Mengting stood up as well and gave her a light hug.

The matter of giving equity had indeed been discussed long ago; for a live-streaming e-commerce company, in the early to mid-stages of development, one must launch a top-tier streamer.

To ensure aligned interests and retain talent, equity incentives were a must.

Now that He Liting had become the company's flagship streamer, her results were getting better and better.

To avoid any unpleasantness, she had decided to give the promise in advance.

Back then, she had obtained 25% of Songmei Apparel with over 300,000 in inventory plus her personal ability, and she had always felt guilty about it.

As the company expanded and Tang Song invested more resources, this shame became increasingly apparent.

She actually didn't have much ambition; working hard to earn money was just for a better life.

Doing this now was also from the bottom of her heart.

On the open ground outside Yunsheng Plaza, a temporary creative display house had been constructed.

The exterior was simple and elegant, with transparent glass windows embedded on all sides.

Key information such as "He Yiyi," "Songmei Apparel," and "Live Stream" was written on it in beautiful, clear fonts.

The display house was brightly lit, and inside were pieces of beautiful, fashionable clothing.

Pedestrians passing by the plaza would stop from time to time to take a curious look.

As the time neared 6:00 PM, the sky gradually darkened.

"The lighting has been calibrated."

"The camera and microphone are also fine."

"The Wi-Fi is very smooth; we can start the live stream at any time."

"Get ready to start!"

Wearing a blue half-skirt and a pink T-shirt, with exquisite makeup, He Liting stood up.

This live stream today was of extraordinary significance to her.

In addition to spending money on traffic and pre-heating, she had also invited two internet celebrities with millions of followers, who would participate in the Q&A activity as passersby in a moment.

Later, they would also use live-stream clips for promotion and hype.

To build her IP, the company had truly spent a lot of money.

She didn't dare to let down Tang Song's expectations for her; she was truly under immense pressure.

"Tang Zong, bless me!" He Liting took a deep breath to ease her nervous mood, a brilliant smile appearing on her face.

The camera moved, capturing the night view outside the window.

A clear and gentle voice sounded: "Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Yiyi's outdoor live-streaming site. This is also my first time streaming outdoors..."

Because they had started pre-heating the live stream a week in advance, and the team was still constantly spending money to push traffic.

After an opening statement.

The number of people in the live-streaming room had already exceeded 500.

After interacting with the audience's comments for a while, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

He Liting held her phone, her eyes bright, "Today's live stream is not ordinary! Not only will I show you various fashionable women's clothing, but I will also interact with passersby friends on-site for a knowledge Q&A, and I have also prepared tons of surprises and benefits for everyone..."

After showing clothes for a while, bringing a few waves of high-value goods, and sending out some lucky bags, the heat was quickly stirred up.

The live-streaming team walked out of the activity shed and came to the outside of Yunsheng Plaza to start the interactive Q&A session.

The rules of the activity were very simple: after answering 5 questions, one could go into the activity house in the plaza to pick out a set of clothing they liked and take it away.

On a Friday night, the plaza was bustling with people coming and going.

He Liting was a quick-witted person; the passersby she randomly selected were basically confident, beautiful young girls.

Such girls were more likely to accept challenges, were open to chatting, and the live-streaming effect was better.

After interviewing 8 passersby in a row and giving away 4 sets of clothes, the two big internet celebrities with millions of followers who had been arranged in advance finally appeared.

Both were beauties with slim waists and long legs, dressed fashionably and beautifully, wearing full makeup.

Standing on the plaza with He Liting, plus the fill lights and beauty filters, they looked very eye-catching.

Operations immediately increased the intensity of traffic pushing.

The two big internet celebrities performed very relaxedly, taking the initiative to interact with the streamer and the bullet comments, answering questions in a witty and interesting way.

Because they had rehearsed in advance, the effect was very good.

The heat of the live-streaming room instantly reached a small climax, with the number of online viewers breaking 5,000.

It reached the highest peak in history.

The number of fans for the "He Yiyi" account was also growing rapidly.

The live-streaming team was instantly energized.

After bringing a wave of goods while the heat was high, He Liting bid farewell to the two big internet celebrities, her gaze sweeping toward the passing crowd again.

Immediately after, her eyes lit up.

From one side of the plaza, a woman dressed very uniquely happened to walk over.

Wearing a beautiful baseball cap and a mask, her hair was highlighted in pink and blue.

Her slender, straight legs looked exceptionally long and beautiful against the backdrop of her shorts.

Her base shirt was tight and soft, outlining her exquisite and graceful body curves.

Her delicate collarbones were faintly visible, and her shoulder lines were smooth and soft, exuding a kind of youthful vitality and confidence.

Although she didn't know what she looked like specifically, just looking at this figure, temperament, and outfit, she felt dazzling.

She was much more outstanding than the previous two internet celebrities.

He Liting's eyebrows twitched, and she walked over quickly.

She had a faint intuition in her heart.

What if this was really some wild big internet celebrity!

Another wave of traffic!

Get her!

Zhuxi Residential Quarter.

On the living room TV, the drama "Leisurely Listening to the Falling Rain" was being cast.

"Qiuqiu, pause for a second!"

Cheng Qiuqiu quickly operated the tablet, looked at the beaming Gao Mengting, and asked in surprise, "Senior, is there some good news? You're not even watching the drama."

"The live-streaming effect of our company's streamer tonight is very good. I'm sending a red envelope in the group to encourage them."

Gao Mengting opened the company group and sent a medium-sized random-amount red envelope.

Although she was now the Executive Vice President, her salary was not high, only 20,000.

Plus, she owed a lot of money from a failed business venture before, so her finances were still very tight; otherwise, she wouldn't be sharing a rental here with Cheng Qiuqiu.

Of course, this was something she had requested herself; after all, Tang Song had the same salary.

"Wait a bit, let me watch the live stream. I heard the number of online viewers has exceeded 5,000!"

As she spoke, Gao Mengting opened the Douyin app and entered He Yiyi's live-streaming room.

"Let me see too." Qiuqiu curiously leaned over, hugged the senior's arm, and looked at the phone screen.

The first thing she saw was a beautiful woman with a gentle and beautiful appearance; it should be the streamer He Yiyi.

Immediately after, the camera moved backward.

He Yiyi took a few steps forward and stopped a sexy girl wearing a hat and a mask.

"Hello, miss, do you have time to participate in our live-streaming activity? Complete the Q&A challenge and you can get a set of clothes. It's in the display house behind me, feel free to pick whatever you like."

The girl was silent for a moment, seeming a bit hesitant.

He Yiyi wasn't in a hurry, gently and peacefully introducing the game rules.

Her attitude seemed to have gained the girl's favor, and she nodded in agreement.

After chatting and laughing for a few sentences, He Yiyi held the phone and began to ask questions.

"May I ask, which is the largest detoxification organ in the human body?"

"The liver."

Wearing a mask, her voice was a bit hoarse, but it was still very pleasant to hear, and the heat in the live-streaming room was still increasing.

"In the phrase 'distinguishing right from wrong' (literally 'distinguishing black from white'), what color does 'zao' refer to? Friendly hint, you have one chance to get a hint."

"Black."

"Nice, miss, you're too amazing! Here is the last question! What are the world's four major fashion weeks?"

The girl didn't hesitate at all and replied, "New York, London, Paris, Milan."

"That's great!" He Yiyi cheered, reached out to point at the temporary display house behind her, and said enthusiastically, "Miss, please come inside. Let's go pick out some clothes. These are all high-quality apparel I've carefully selected. There's also a separate fitting room inside, feel free to pick to your heart's content."

Immediately after, the two walked toward the house.

Looking at the back view on the phone screen, Cheng Qiuqiu suddenly pinched the senior's arm and said in surprise, "Senior, why do I feel like this passerby miss's back view looks familiar?"

Gao Mengting turned her face and asked in surprise, "Really? Do you know her?"

After thinking about it seriously for a while, Cheng Qiuqiu shook her head, "I just feel like she looks a lot like a certain star; it seems like I've seen her on the internet."

"Haha." Gao Mengting tapped her on the forehead, "How is that possible? If this were a star, how could she possibly appear on camera without being paid, and even participate in a Q&A interaction for a set of clothes worth a few hundred?"

◆￠o

"Mm-hmm, I must have seen it wrong." Cheng Qiuqiu looked up and happened to see a slim figure in a purple dress on the TV screen, "I remember now, it's like Bei Yuwei! It seems I'm really obsessed with watching dramas."

"Alright, let's continue watching the live stream."

After entering the clothing selection segment, the bullet comments in the live-streaming room instantly became lively.

Because the audience was mostly female, their sense of immersion was very strong.

They kept providing some outfit suggestions.

And the girl was also very willing to listen to advice, finally picking out a lazy-style outfit based on the suggestions.

She took the clothes and went into the fitting room in the corner.

While waiting, He Yiyi gently interacted with the audience, and the atmosphere was very good.

Cheng Qiuqiu smiled and said, "Senior, your streamer is really good. She has a kind of lazy, relaxed gentleness, and it doesn't look boring at all. If I were buying clothes, I would also like this kind of streamer."

"She is indeed very good. Yiyi's figure, appearance, and temperament are all very suitable for women's clothing e-commerce, and she attracts female fans very well."

The two chatted while watching the live stream.

After waiting for a few minutes, the door of the fitting room was slowly pushed open.

The girl who had changed her clothes walked out.

A soft, tight-fitting white short-sleeved T-shirt and dark gray loose wide-leg pants.

Against the backdrop of her graceful and varied figure, she looked exceptionally beautiful.

The audience in the live-streaming room became lively again.

He Yiyi quickly came to the girl's side, held the mini microphone, and said, "Miss, you are really beautiful. Can you take off your mask and let us see the full picture? Everyone is super curious, satisfy our wish, okay?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, nodded gently, and said, "Alright."

Immediately after, the girl gently pinched the edge of the mask with her left hand and took it off from her ears.

Her silky, smooth long hair swayed slightly, revealing a fresh and moving face.

Like a flower that had just bloomed, her fair skin glowed slightly under the lights, as delicate as mutton-fat jade.

Her lips were red without lipstick, and the slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a hint of a faint smile.

After taking off the mask, she seemed to have had her seal broken, and she no longer had the awkwardness and introversion from just before.

She took the initiative to wave toward the camera and smiled like a flower, "Hello, thank you all for helping me pick out the clothes. I like them very much, mua~"

Her voice was no longer hoarse, like the sound of a clear spring, very pleasant to hear.

The live-streaming site was quiet for a split second.

Immediately after, a series of exclamations and screams rang out.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Chu Ruolin!? Ah no! Bei Yuwei! Ahhhhh!"

"I'm crazy, am I seeing things? This is Bei Yuwei!"

Many staff members in the activity shed stood up one after another, the expressions on their faces very spectacular.

At the same time, the live-streaming room was like a violent storm.

It was all a series of "ahhh" or "f***."

It was completely meaningless monosyllabic words; it seemed that only in this way could they express the shock in their hearts.

Cheng Qiuqiu looked at her phone and then at the TV screen.

She plunged her hands into her hair and rubbed her head hard, "Ahhhhh! Bei Yuwei! It really is Bei Yuwei! I heard before that Bei Yuwei's schedule is already booked until next year. Senior, what kind of path is your company taking..."

"This..." Gao Mengting swallowed, her hands trembling with excitement.

Something big happened! A huge opportunity had fallen from the sky!

The current top idol in the country suddenly appeared in He Yiyi's live-streaming room.

This was even more explosive than PK-ing with a ten-million-follower internet celebrity!

She didn't even dare to imagine how much traffic and heat this would bring.

A heaven-sent fortune!

He Yiyi, Songmei Apparel, is about to take off!

Yunsheng Plaza.

He Liting stared blankly at the girl in front of her, her voice trembling and stammering, "Are... are you... Chu Ruolin from 'Leisurely Listening to the Falling Rain'?"

Her job was to operate accounts and live stream, so naturally, she would pay close attention to hot news.

She had a very deep impression of this top internet celebrity on Douyin recently.

Her lines, memes, and high-energy clips were currently visible everywhere on the internet.

Bei Yuwei raised her eyebrows and said generously, "Hello Yiyi, I'm very happy to be chosen by you as a lucky passerby. The clothes are very beautiful, and the quality is also very good, so I'll just wear them away like this. No objections, right?"

"Of course, of course, no objections!" He Liting suppressed her excitement and said cautiously, "Can you sign an autograph? Just on the clothes over there, we'll give them away to fans when we do activities later."

"No problem."

Bei Yuwei took a marker and signed her name with a "swish, swish, swish."

Then she waved at the camera with a smile and put on her mask.

Her slender legs alternated forward, her pace unhurried, yet it had a unique rhythm of its own; she had a lot of style.

He Liting glanced at the live-streaming room; the number of online viewers was 20,000+.

Carnivals, Douyin No. 1s...

Various gift effects were non-stop, and the bullet comments were like crazy.

Bei Yuwei had only appeared for a few minutes, but she had directly ignited the live-streaming room.

She didn't dare to imagine what kind of terrifying influence it would bring after this live-stream recording clip was pushed.

It wouldn't be long before this face of hers would appear on the hot search, and appearing along with it would be the "He Yiyi" account.

At the same time, she also realized that a brand-new life belonging to her was about to begin.

Walking out of the temporary activity house, Bei Yuwei's figure disappeared directly into the crowd.

After wandering around the plaza for a good while, she finally slipped into a black Toyota Alphard on the side of the road.

Leaning on the soft seat, her whole person appeared very relaxed.

The manager beside her, Sister Bing, whispered, "Yuwei, you were too enthusiastic in the live-streaming room just now; I'm afraid it might be counterproductive."

Bei Yuwei gently bit her red lips, her voice firm, "Since I've done it, I might as well do it to the best of my ability. Even if the company wants to punish me, I'll accept it."

Sister Bing frowned slightly, looking worried, "Can you really be sure that this company has a relationship with Chairman Su? I've checked the shareholder information, and there's no connection at all."

"I'm very sure." Bei Yuwei clenched her fists hard, "Before I came to Yancheng, I accidentally heard a phone call made by Chairman Su's assistant."

Bei Yuwei let out a breath, lowered her head, and didn't say the content of the call.

The sudden explosion of popularity, in addition to the huge fame and fortune it brought, also brought countless covetousness and prying eyes.

She had already received countless hints, many of which were big shots she couldn't afford to offend, and even company leaders.

Coming from an ordinary background with shallow qualifications, she had no backing and was just a rootless duckweed in the vast entertainment industry.

If no one protected her, the ending would be very tragic.

She just wanted to get Su Yu's attention.
