Chapter 1

After everyone arrived at the store in the afternoon, several agents began to exchange their experiences as agents.

Now Old John has a total of 23 followers. Excluding the 4 agents, there are 19 real people left. According to today's reputation ratio, theoretically, Old John can be upgraded to a star as long as he has 255 real people following him.

"Wanwan performed very well today. If it weren't for Wanwan, the internet army, who took the lead, I'm afraid there wouldn't be so many people in the live broadcast room, and the final live broadcast effect today wouldn't be so good." Jiang Qi first praised the excellent internet army Jiang Wanwan.

Jiang Wanwan raised her head proudly.

Qin Can asked Liu Lan in a low voice: "Lanlan, did you watch the live broadcast this morning?"

Liu Lan raised his head proudly and said loudly, "I am Liu Lan. Once I say something, I can't go back on it! I said yesterday that I would support Teacher John's live broadcast and I would definitely watch it. I set the alarm at 6 o'clock this morning to watch it. Even though I played games until 5 o'clock last night, I got up at 6 o'clock to watch it."

Qin Can: "...Then why didn't you reply when I sent you a message at 8 o'clock asking you what Mr. John's live studio was called?"

Liu Lan: …

“Ah, hahaha, that, haha.” Liu Lan smiled awkwardly when everyone was looking at him. “That may be because I have a little problem. I have wanted to sleep in math class since I was a child.”

"I probably fell asleep again within a minute of listening, and when I woke up my phone was out of battery and turned off."

Liu Lan quickly changed the subject: "But speaking of which, how was Mr. John's live broadcast today? It was already 1 o'clock when I woke up."

"It's pretty good." Jiang Wanwan obviously watched the live broadcast room to the end. "At first I thought that everyone except us in the live broadcast room was a fake person, a robot matched by the system, but I didn't expect that they were all real people. There were also 4 people who gave gifts, and Teacher John even received a rocket."

"Wow." Liu Lan was shocked. "I received rockets on the first day of the live broadcast. Is Mr. John going to be famous?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Are there any guests this afternoon?" Jiang Qi asked.

"No." Liu Lan shook his head. "Originally, there were four people who wanted to share a car, but they all jumped out at 1:30. There is only one car for Uncle Huang's "MasterChef Competition" tonight. Currently, no one wants to share a car in the evening. I guess this is the only show tonight."

"Why are there so few customers today?" Jiang Wanwan was a little surprised.

Business has never been this bad since she came to help in the store.

Even if today is a weekday, there are many students during the summer vacation and students don't have to go to work, so there are still people who don't have time to study.

"Wanwan, don't you know? These few days, JC Detective Museum is celebrating its third anniversary, and the discounts are super big. Recharge 888 and get 555, recharge 2000 and get 1688. Within three days, you can get 50% off as long as you go to their store to play, but you can't deduct your card. I saw the news about their store's game today, and the rooms are all full, with 24 games. I don't think there will be any business in the next few days."

"Wow." Jiang Wanwan almost wanted to go to the game, "Brother Jiang Qi, how about we also do some card recharge discounts?"

Jiang Qi wanted to do it, but he hadn't decided on the extent of the discount or the name of the discount.

There have been a lot of things to do recently, one after another, team building takeaway orders, time-limited tasks, side quests. Jiang Qi originally wanted to take advantage of this time to renovate the small modern house into a horror house and buy some horror books, but he has been delayed until now and has not started.

Jiang Bing also stood up Jiang Qi. She had promised at the beginning that she would ask her friends to help with the design and it would be done in a few days, but now there is no news.

But Jiang Qi doesn’t have the money to do it now.

If I spend a few thousand more dollars decorating the horror room, plus the expenses that must be reserved for the promotion of Old John, the money earned during this period will be basically wiped out.

"No rush." Jiang Qi said.

A group of hard-working people who are used to having things to do every day suddenly have nothing to do at work and can just play with their phones. Everyone is still a little uncomfortable with it.

Old John was quietly working on a PPT upstairs, while Huang Fugui was sitting on the sofa studying a recipe, apparently determined to master the oven food. Liu Lan and Qin Can seemed to be cursed, losing three games in a row, and Qin Can was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.

Jiang Wanwan went outside to buy some fried food, while Jiang Qi was playing with the grilled sausages.

Everybody is bored.

Jiang Qi was so bored that he started watching the videos posted on Fang Jing’s company’s video account.

The videos on Fang Jing's video account are mainly short videos, which are generally less than four minutes long, and the number of views is also high for short videos. The number of views of a few videos that are more than ten minutes long or even half an hour long has been cut in half, but even with the cut in half, there are still more than 50,000 views.

These videos were very boring in the early stages and had low playback volumes. They were all about funny daily office scenes with heavy traces of scripts. Xiao Zhao was a regular actor, and another regular actor that Jiang Qi recognized was the manager who came to play with Fang Jing.

Later, the acting skills of several regular actors were honed, and there was no need for editors to make up stories out of nothing. Nuwa repaired the sky, and the script was not as awkward as before, so the number of views increased.

The main subjects are daily office life, and occasionally some photos of employees' lives after get off work.

Fang Jing made a guest appearance in several videos, and even Gong Ye made an appearance. Jiang Qi even saw Zhou Yuan's back in one video.

Just as Jiang Qi was scrolling through the videos one by one, an update came.

Updated trailer.

A full three-minute trailer.

The editors who know what the audience likes to watch have edited all the funny scenes in the trailer, including the sound effects of blockbuster movies, the capitalized and bold text, the rhythmic soundtrack and the eye-catching clips.

Millionaire editor.

What made Mr. Fang so shocked?

What makes the director love and hate it?

What makes all the employees so obsessed?

What made people scream?

Behind the director's escape, is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?

…

The truth of everything will soon be revealed.

The answer will be given to you at 5:00 pm on July 24th!

Jiang Qi after watching the trailer: …

How can I put it? I can only say that the employees of Fang Jing's company are really stubborn.

Not only was the close-up of Fang Jing's face turning green shot very well, the editor also cut it all into the trailer without missing a second, and even cut it twice.

He is a master.

.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yuan arrived before Yue Ben's guests arrived.

"Raw coconut latte or raw coconut matcha? Or original milk tea, kumquat lemon?" Jiang Qi asked familiarly when he saw Zhou Yuan coming.

Zhou Yuan waved her hand: "No, I have to save room for noodles today. I can't drink milk tea."

"Boss Jiang, can you give me the noodle soup tonight?"

Jiang Qi:?

"Do you want to play "MasterChef Competition" tonight?" Jiang Qi subconsciously felt that it was not a good idea. Although it was not impossible, it was indeed a bit outrageous for Zhou Yuan to get three cars together.

He didn't expect that Zhou Yuan was willing to spend 138 and several hours just for a bowl of noodles.

"Yes, our company is paying salaries today, so I decided to splurge and spend 138 on a bowl of noodles." Zhou Yuan said happily, "We're not going to play around today, Boss Jiang, just ask Uncle Huang to cook noodles for us."

Jiang Qi: ???

"you?"

"Oh, I remember now. Today's event was arranged by my colleague, but she may not have told me." Zhou Yuan suddenly realized, "Aren't there eight people in tonight's Chef Competition? It includes me, Manager Xiao Zhao, and other colleagues."

"Although they have never played the tabletop version of the MasterChef Contest, we all know the plot so we don't want to play it again. Lao Sun is our company's editor. He has been editing videos these days. He is so greedy for the vegetable noodles every day. It happened that everyone got their salary today and had money, so he suggested coming over to eat noodles instead of playing games."

Jiang Qi was speechless at the performance of Zhou Yuan and others.

He originally thought that having one car tonight would not count as zero sales, and the script-killing store was at least open.

In the end, what opened was not a script store, but a noodle restaurant.

“…When will the others arrive?”

"They might be a while."

Jiang Qi hesitated for a while and felt that it was not a good idea to sell a bowl of noodles for 138.

Originally, the 138 yuan was for a script-killing game, and the vegetable noodles were just a free gift during the script-killing session.

Now, customers don’t want products, they just want gifts.

It is indeed a modern version of buying the casket and returning the pearl.

"How about this." Jiang Qi thought for a moment and said, "All eight of you have played this game before. If you don't play this game and just want to have fun, I can't charge you the original price."

"How about..." Jiang Qi said with difficulty under Zhou Yuan's expectant eyes, "You pay half price?"

"Really?" Zhou Yuan looked as if to say, "Boss Jiang, if you just ask me, I will come here to eat noodles at half price every day."

Although both 138 and 69 per bowl are ridiculously expensive, once you accept the price of 138 and are ready to eat, and the boss tells you that the price has been reduced to only 69, you feel like you have made a huge bargain.

“Can this price continue?”

"Wait a moment, I'll go discuss it with Uncle Huang." Jiang Qi was afraid that if he nodded, the script-killing shop would become the employee cafeteria of Fang Jing's company.

At that time, he might really consider buying the noodle shop next door and opening another noodle shop.

After some discussion with Huang Fugui, mainly after Jiang Qi asked Huang Fugui how many extra bowls of noodles he could accept in a day, Jiang Qi gave Zhou Yuan an answer.

"You can continue to play this game as long as you have played the game "Master Chef Contest". If you just want to eat noodles and don't want to play the game like you did this time, you can play it at half price."

"but."

“A maximum of 20 people per day.”

If there are too many people, it will really become a noodle shop.

"Great!" Zhou Yuan cheered, then took out her cell phone and started sending messages frantically.

"Who are you messaging?" Jiang Qi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Of course I sent a message in the company group! Actually, when Lao Sun proposed it today, many people wanted to come, but they all felt that 138 per bowl was too expensive. Now it's only 69 per bowl, there will definitely be a lot of people willing to come and eat!"

Jiang Qi: ...
