"I've been waiting for you for a long time..." In the chilling, bone-deep darkness of the night, Jiang Yichen, with bloodshot eyes, took from me.
He was my driver, and also my liv...
Chapter 21 Interesting Punishment
As soon as she saw me coming, Xiao Tiantian's face became even uglier.
I don't know what happened, so I can only try carefully.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Tiantian snorted coldly and spoke in dissatisfaction.
"Gu Mo, I told you to rest, but you secretly broadcast live?"
Without waiting for me to explain, she continued, "Since you are not afraid of hard work, why don't you just stop resting and continue working. After all, those who are more capable should do more work."
I don't understand why she is like this, but she is always moody and I can't talk back to her.
Seeing that I didn’t refuse, Xiao Tiantian didn’t continue to attack me.
Then I immediately went to find Lao Mo.
"What happened to Sweetie?"
Lao Mo handed the data on the live broadcast platform to me.
"Look, now your data on the platform has surpassed Xiao Tiantian. She will definitely be dissatisfied with you."
I didn’t expect that playing a clown would bring me so much traffic.
I lowered my eyes and couldn't help but feel a headache.
I worked so hard to gain favor with Xiao Tiantian, but I’m afraid it’s going to be ruined again?
Sure enough, when Xiao Tiantian was doing a live broadcast, she mentioned it seemingly casually.
"Gu Mo, you are as popular as me now. Do you feel wronged to be my assistant?"
She looked at me expressionlessly, but it made me feel uneasy.
After a few seconds of pause, I blurted out, "I am so popular now, thanks to your guidance. If I hadn't been your assistant, how could I have learned all this?"
This is what I really think. Although it is hard to follow Xiao Tiantian, she has indeed taught me some things.
Hearing this, Xiao Tiantian's attitude relaxed a lot and she raised her head proudly.
"In that case, you should just stay by my side and be my assistant."
I lowered my head, feeling mixed emotions.
Being her assistant was the task Jiang Yichen gave me, and I couldn't refuse.
When I looked up again, I said, "Thanks to you for supporting me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to build up my popularity."
Xiao Tiantian was immediately in a good mood, and she didn’t make things difficult for me during the subsequent live broadcasts.
Although getting along with Xiao Tiantian is not as painful as before, I am still very busy every day and have no time for live streaming.
As the end of the month approaches, I see the performance declining and I feel anxious but helpless.
I asked Xiao Tiantian for leave several times, but she refused without hesitation.
Soon the company held a meeting.
Lao Mo, who was sitting next to me, said with regret: "If you had maintained your momentum in the last few days, you wouldn't be at the bottom."
He looked up at Xiao Tiantian not far away and sighed.
I know he feels sorry for me, but what can I do?
I can't offend Xiao Tiantian, and I can't offend Jiang Yichen even more.
The crowd began to stir, and at this moment, Jiang Yichen arrived.
He sat in the front row, casually looking at the rankings on the screen, his expression as indifferent as ever.
Sitting next to him was Lin Nan.
I didn't expect Lin Nan to show up. After all, this is just a small live broadcast company, which is nothing compared to Jiang's.
But she is Jiang Yichen's secretary and his fiancée, so it is reasonable for her to come here.
I closed my eyes and prayed that my ranking wouldn't be too bad, but the opposite happened.
The result was not as expected.
There are thirty or forty anchors in the company, and I am at the bottom of the list.
The data is even more horrific.
The anchors of the same period are much better than me.
I had boasted to Jiang Yichen before that I could do it, but now I have been slapped in the face.
The host came on stage only after all the rankings were announced.
"Everyone's performance this month is on the screen. According to company practice, the top three anchors will be rewarded."
Following the host’s introduction, the performance of the top three anchors were released separately.
The one who ranked first this month was Xiao Tiantian, whose performance was the sum of the other two.
The host then announced the bottom three.
Of course I am one of them.
"At the same time, the anchors at the bottom of our ranking will also be punished. The punishment will be announced by President Jiang."
After saying that, he handed the microphone to Jiang Yichen.
Jiang Yichen stood up from his seat, walked calmly onto the stage, and looked down at the audience.
He cleared his throat and focused his eyes on me.
"Let's try something new this time."
His gaze was not friendly, and I felt vaguely uneasy.
I knew Jiang Yichen was coming for me, so he wouldn't let me get away with it.
"The three people ranked last this time will have a PK match, and the person at the bottom will draw lots to receive three punishments."
After the punishment rules were announced, our countdown anchor was invited to the stage.
The faces of the three people were projected onto the big screen, and they competed online for everyone to watch.
I don't want to punish anyone, so I can only put a lot of effort into the PK match.
I did attract some attention a few days ago because of my ugly appearance, but after Xiao Tiantian found out, she directly deprived me of my live broadcast time, causing my popularity to drop again and again.
Nowadays, when I’m online with the other two people, there are very few people in my live broadcast room.
I performed with all my might, hoping that the few people who showed up could support me a little.
But even if I tried my best, they would not be moved.
Fans helped to sell votes for the other two candidates.
My PK score has always been zero.
I was so anxious that I broke out in cold sweats. I wanted to gain some popularity by continuing to make a fool of myself, but it was of no avail.
The hosts in the audience all looked at me with contempt.
After several rounds of competition, I couldn't even match a fraction of the second place and lost miserably.
I can only accept my fate and the punishment.
The first punishment was to sit on a chair and turn around twenty times while applying lipstick.
The difficulty was so high that I prayed silently in my heart that I wouldn’t be too embarrassed.
I held the chair handle with one hand and applied lipstick with the other.
I tried my best to keep my balance, but my hands were totally out of control and the paint went all over my face.
After a few turns, my face was covered with lipstick.
After turning twenty times, I felt dizzy, my legs went weak and I fell to the ground.
At this moment, everyone laughed out loud.
I was like an animal locked in a cage, a plaything in everyone's eyes.
I struggled to get up from the ground and continued with the second punishment.
It is singing with water.
Then the host handed me a glass of water.
When I was performing, my voice was unclear and water spurted out whenever I moved my mouth the slightest.
The clothes were quickly soaked.
Like a human fountain.
After singing a few simple lines, the punishment was over.
I didn't dare to look at other people's eyes and quickly took out the last punishment.
Eat lemon with water glass on top.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it can be over as long as it goes fast enough.
I put the cup of water on my head and picked up the lemon and put it in my mouth.
The moment it took a sip, I was shaking all over from the sourness, and the cup of water on my head was shaking even more.
Before it was over, the glass of water fell over and spilled all over my head.
The people in the audience laughed heartily.
Jiang Yichen spoke again after all the punishments were over.
“I hope everyone will do well next month.”
He glanced at me calmly, as if he was saying this on purpose, "Next month's punishment will be more interesting."
