Chapter 741: The Mermaid (4)

Wen Wan didn't mind. Whether she signed a contract or not was unimportant. The main thing was that she didn't want to be restricted. After all, she was just doing live streaming for fun and making money on the side. As for popularizing food, that was just a side thing. Moreover, her identity was quite sensitive. If she were discovered, who knew what kind of problems would arise.

In the following days, other live streaming platforms also extended olive branches to Wen Wan.

After all, her popularity and future prospects are immeasurable.

So the platform that was previously considering it quickly agreed, otherwise the person would have run away.

This platform is called Panda Platform.

It is a large live streaming platform, one of the three major live streaming platforms. However, in terms of popularity, it is slightly lower than the other two major live streaming platforms, Banana and Mango. Moreover, it does not have top streamers. Although Buddha is very good, he is only a top streamer. He originally had the opportunity to become a top streamer, but Buddha is too lazy and focuses on food. His business is very irregular. In addition, he is a top-tier rich second-generation, and the platform cannot force him.

The emergence of Wen Wan gave Panda TV hope of having top-tier streamers, and even hope of defeating the other two major platforms.

The signing was all done on the AI.

Wen Wan used her own identity, the name Wen Wan. The identity was fabricated by the system. She could not reveal her identity as a mermaid, nor could she reveal that she was the general's blind date.

Even though so much time has passed, she hasn't even seen a glimpse of the general. This male lead is incredibly busy, and she can't leave the water herself. It's really annoying.

After signing the contract.

As soon as Wen Wan's live stream started, it was featured on the platform's homepage with a huge advertising slot.

It also attracts the most traffic. As soon as Wen Wan started her live stream, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded one million in less than five minutes.

Wen Wan was genuinely flattered.

Then they quickly got down to business and started the mukbang (eating broadcast).

This time, hot pot was served directly. The aunt prepared the ingredients for Wen Wan, and Wen Wan ate hot pot in front of the entire live broadcast audience. It was a nine-compartment hot pot.

All the side dishes, meats, meatballs, and other ingredients are the freshest, and the names of the dishes are written on the plates.

Once the audience's five senses were opened, everyone in the live stream went crazy. The smell of hot pot is extremely irresistible to a foodie; no one can resist its aroma.

Viewers in the live stream even ordered the food they wanted to eat.

—Please, Ah Yuan, I beg you, beef balls, my child wants to eat beef balls.

—Shrimp paste, what is shrimp paste? Is it made from shrimp? It looks delicious.

—Tofu, the child wants to eat tofu.

The barrage of comments even caused Wen Wan's live stream to lag because there were too many people. She didn't set any entry requirements; anyone who entered the live stream could experience it for free. Her boss had originally asked her to set entry requirements, which would have made her a lot of money, but Wen Wan refused. She had already earned enough and didn't need to earn any more.

Furthermore, donations from minors are not accepted; any donations made by minors will be returned without any change.

Wen Wan swallowed hard; she was craving it too, and at the fans' request, she started adding various side dishes.

However, this time, Wen Wan also discovered that a lot of online trolls were spamming her with insults. Her presence on the platform clearly affected the interests of many people, so the live stream was naturally not going to go smoothly.

Wen Wan expressed her understanding.

However, before Wen Wan could complain, the insults were immediately blocked.

The Buddha sent a sea of ​​fireworks.

—Buddha: Ah Yuan, you can continue your live stream with peace of mind.

Spending a certain amount in a live stream automatically makes you an administrator of that live stream. It's clear that Buddha has reached that level, as has Yuan Qi, and the two are vying for the top spot in Wen Wan's live stream.

Wen Wan was also worried about the two of them and advised them to spend wisely.

It turned out that these two were not short of money at all; they were both second-generation rich kids from top-tier wealthy families.

Wen Wan is the only poor one, fine.

After Wen Wan finished eating, she started serving dishes to the audience while sharing the recipes for the dishes she had eaten the day before for free.

Then he emphasized the rules.

In fact, Wen Wan received countless phone calls in private, all from people wanting to buy recipes and monopolize the business to make money, but Wen Wan rejected them all.

Anyone can make her recipes, but whether they taste good or not depends on skill.

The audience quickly reached a terrifying number.

In just two hours, the number of viewers had reached 50 million.

Keep in mind that she's a new streamer who's only broadcast a few times, and this is her first time being featured on the homepage, yet she already has popularity comparable to the platform's top streamers.

Most importantly, her live stream generated over 100 million Star Coins in revenue. On the Panda TV platform, only two or three streamers can achieve this level of revenue, and many top streamers find it difficult to reach. Moreover, her live stream has extremely high engagement; once viewers enter, they basically don't leave, with a retention rate of over 90%, which is an astonishing figure.

Moreover, she did not show her face; she wore a mask that covered most of her face, leaving only her mouth visible as she ate.

Wen Wan was shocked when she received the message from her boss.

Before the broadcast ended, the number of viewers reached 80 million, and Wen Wan's account had more than 30 million followers. Moreover, this was not a false boom, but a real number of viewers. The boss did not buy any fake followers or fake trolls.

After the broadcast ended, Wen Wan received a message from Yuan Qi, who said he wanted to visit her, but Wen Wan refused.

Please, her current identity is that of a mermaid paired with an admiral. This is the admiral's residence. If it's exposed, there will be a lot of trouble.

However, there is one thing that Yuan Qi might be able to help with.

Upon hearing Wen Wan's plan, Yuan Qi immediately agreed, "I will definitely find the most suitable processing plant for you, but can I join your company?"

Wen Wan: "Of course, and I'm not suited to be in the public eye. I need your help with many things, and I certainly won't be stingy with my salary. But I think you probably don't care about the company. What you care about more is what I'm going to do. You can contact me and even get involved anytime, anywhere."

Yuan Qi's breathing became heavy.

"Sure, I'll definitely handle it perfectly. You just need to provide the production method, and I'll take care of the rest."

"OK."

Wen Wan wants to open a snack processing factory. Surprisingly, there aren't many kinds of snacks in this world, and the few that exist are particularly unpalatable, tasting like nothing more than nutrient solution.

Who eats snacks purely for nutrition? Isn't it for enjoyment and pleasure?

In the following days, Wen Wan would develop a new dish every day, perhaps four or five dishes, with no two dishes being the same, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room remained at around 100 million.

If her live stream hadn't been so short, the number of viewers would have been even higher.

Countless viewers asked her to add more episodes, and some even begged the boss, but the boss couldn't do anything about it, since he couldn't control the other party either.

Because Wen Wan's rise was too rapid, no one may have realized it at first, but it affected the interests of many people, especially other food streamers. They all came to Wen Wan's channel, and the other streamers were in a gloomy situation, with their numbers plummeting. Apart from a few die-hard fans who persisted, the loss of fans was extremely serious.

Soon enough, countless smear articles about Wen Wan appeared on the StarNet.

It's just that people say she doesn't show her face, but actually it's because she's too ugly to show her face.

Wen Wan was powerless to do anything about it. She couldn't very well show her face to prove it, could she? Anyway, these scandals didn't really hurt Wen Wan. Her fans weren't in the live stream for her face; they were there for the food and drinks.

Days passed by like this, and Wen Wan was very busy every day.

After the live stream ended that day, Wen Wan swam a few laps in the pool, then lay down on the waterbed her aunt had prepared for her and fell asleep.

What she didn't know was that her blind date actually came back that night.

"General, Miss Wen Wan has been waiting for your return."

Gu Chuan frowned. "Who is Wen Wan? Is she another woman my father sent? Send her back."

"The Marshal said that you should test the compatibility first, and then decide on Miss Wen Wan's fate."

Gu Chuan: "I'll go talk to him."

He didn't think that compatibility meant anything, and why should people's feelings be determined by compatibility? He wasn't the kind of person who would be swayed by spiritual affinity.

"What about Wen Wan?"

"Miss Wen Wan is resting by the pool."

"Take good care of her."

After Gu Chuan finished speaking, he returned to his room. He looked very tired. After all, he had barely slept for the past month, spending all his time fighting the Zerg.

...

The next morning, Wen Wan woke up on her waterbed and heard good news from her nanny.

"He's back? You said the general is back? Where is he?"

"The general went to the palace to report on his duties this morning, but he should be back soon."

Wen Wan: "Finally back! I was practically turning into mold here."

The male lead is finally back, and she can start her mission now. Hopefully, the mission goes smoothly.

Gu Chuan posted a leave request in the live broadcast room today.

Good heavens, this leave request has attracted a flood of wailing and lamenting fans.

--What? ? ? ? ?

—What terrible news did I see? Am I blind? Ah Yuan, you only stream for three or four hours a day, and now you're asking for leave with no return date in sight. Do you want me to die?

—I had a nightmare. I'm going to go back to sleep and hopefully it was just a dream when I wake up.

Wen Wan couldn't care less; after all, the male lead was the most important person in the world, and he was the one she was tasked with in this world.

Almost a month has passed, and she is finally about to see the male lead in person.

Wen Wan waited and waited, until noon, but he didn't come. She waited until dusk, but he still hadn't returned. Wen Wan had asked her aunt for the ninety-ninth time when Gu Chuan would come back, but her aunt didn't know either.

Wen Wan is so annoyed.

"Was he doing this on purpose? I'm such a beautiful woman waiting at home, and all he thinks about is work. Is he impotent? No wonder we've been on blind dates for so long, he probably has some kind of hidden problem, right?"

The aunt looked nervous, then shook her head at Wen Wan. Wen Wan didn't realize it and kept muttering complaints.

"General, you're back." The aunt couldn't bear to let Wen Wan continue, so she quickly said.

Wen Wan turned around and, sure enough, saw someone standing behind her.

Wen Yan: "..."

Her expression changed instantly, and she put on what she thought was a sweet smile. "General, you're back! Have you eaten? Are you hungry? How was your work?"

Gu Chuan: "It seems you really don't like being here."

As Gu Chuan approached, Wen Wan was both shocked by the male lead's face and terrified by her earlier ramblings. Would the male lead kick her out because she had insulted him? Or even kill her? The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became, and Wen Wan had already imagined a hundred ways she could die.
