Luo Ying and Xie Yun exchanged knowing glances and warm grins. Assured that Su Li was back on track, they returned to the live broadcast.
Not many people visited the live broadcast room, but the hosts made an effort to engage with viewers. Cheng Zhen did a great job as host, keeping the show feeling like a live broadcast the whole time.
They tried to avoid being caught on film, but their efforts were futile.
[What are Sister Ying and Xie Yun whispering about?!]
[That’s such a great shot.]
[There’s a lot of chemistry between Xie Yun and Sister Ying, too. They really look like siblings.]
[What did he say? I want to hear it too, I want to hear it too!]
[They’ve won me over. I hope the drama captures this chemistry!]
[What is a ship?] In the meeting room, Secretary Li, who was sitting beside him, suddenly received a message from President Lu. He thought it was something important and was speechless when he opened it.
Secretary Li’s gaze quietly drifted to his boss’s computer screen. Sure enough, there was a small window in the lower-left corner.
While the head of the subsidiary company nervously reported from the stage, Secretary Li patiently explained the internet lingo to his superior.
[If two people have a particularly warm and friendly rapport, like you and Miss Luo Ying do, then it’s safe to assume that they’re romantically involved, thus a ship.] Secretary Li replied. Perhaps someone in the live broadcast room had mentioned it.
Suddenly, Lu Zhao’s eyes became menacing. The head of the subsidiary company shuddered when he was lasered by his gaze.
Even Secretary Li sensed that something was off. Someone had started a ship concerning Miss Luo Ying!
He made an attempt to shift the conversation. [I just noticed that both Miss Luo Ying and Miss Su Ran’s production teams began their live streams simultaneously. The two live streaming rooms drew a lot of comparisons from viewers. Do you want to control and delete the posts?]
Lu Zhao’s eyes were dark as he typed something on his laptop. He did not reply to him immediately.
[Yes.] After a while, Lu Zhao replied.
Cheng Zhen, who had been hosting for nearly an hour, asked for water, and the others eagerly took over.
“There are so many action scenes. On our first day alone…” Xie Yun was sharing his experiences.
Suddenly, a huge special effect of a gift floated across the live broadcast room.
“Thank you, user 36748… Eh?” Xie Yun was just about to thank the audience for the gift when took a closer look at the amount.
“Wow, this…” Even the veteran Du Tian was taken aback by this. Several five-figure gifts had been sent in a row. The special effects almost flooded the live broadcast room.
In addition, the livestream platform would announce the massive gift to the entire platform, and the livestream room’s audience would be automatically entered to win a portion of the gift. Therefore, in the brief time that the screen was flooded, the livestream room’s viewership skyrocketed!
“Thank you, user 36748, for your support.” Luo Ying beamed and gave him a heartfelt thank you.
But a flicker of suspicion crossed her eyes as she viewed the user profile picture.
It appears that this user had just only signed up. He had not even changed his username and had carelessly tossed a profile picture in to complete the registration. Although Luo Ying did not recognize the person in the profile picture, the lobby of the Luya Group, which she had just visited that day, appeared in the background.
No way! This took Luo Ying by surprise. Could it be…
“What?” On the other side, Su Ran was so taken aback by Luo Ying’s live stream that she almost lost her composure and yelled.
Why? After starting at the bottom of the popularity rankings, Luo Ying’s live broadcast room quickly rose to the top five. It was still rising. While biting her lower lip, Su Ran reached for the staff and pushed. “Our lucky draw…”
“We’ve already drawn all the money,” the staff member said awkwardly. “The budget for the live broadcast is limited. If we draw more, we’ll overspend.”
The production team had plenty of money, but they couldn’t afford to waste it like this. A lot of work remained after principal photography wrapped.
“Then we’ll also give tips to buy popularity from the platform,” Su Ran snapped angrily.
However, her manager glanced at her. “Su Ran, calm down. It was just a live broadcast. It’s not that important.”
The manager could see clearly that such a generous reward must have been backed by a very rich backer. Su Ran was just an ordinary actress. How could she compete with others in terms of financial resources?
Yes, it was just a live broadcast.
Even so, she was unwilling to accept it. Why was it Luo Ying again? The role, variety show, and lover, why did Luo Ying always win? Her carefully crafted drafts were all for naught..
