Chapter 12
"Yimeng" Game Media Company, which belongs to the Jiang family, has always been at the forefront of the industry.
In the internet age, information is exploding. Someone obsessed with a trending topic one moment might be drawn to something else the next, making innovation crucial. While others were struggling with traffic and revenue bottlenecks, Yimeng pioneered the virtual anchor program.
Four virtual hosts were launched. Their appearances, crafted using cutting-edge technology, are more refined than real people, flawless works of art, a difference that cannot be compensated by standard beauty filters. Based on audience preferences, they incorporated popular elements like silver hair, wings, and tails to create distinct personas. On the first day of the trial livestream, the number of viewers in the livestream room exceeded 10,000.
Each virtual anchor is controlled and played by a talented anchor behind the scenes. They not only have beautiful appearances, but also strong professional skills that can stand the test of time. Nearly a month has passed, and the popularity has not only not declined, but has steadily increased.
The most popular virtual anchor is called "Yun Yao", who is a fox dancer with silver hair and blue eyes. She has a slightly hoarse voice and dances in a charming manner. She is popular with both men and women and has fascinated a large number of fans. The number of people in the live broadcast room is generally stable at 230,000.
It is said that the person behind Yun Yao is a top dancer in the industry, who was poached from the troupe by Jiang Zhuoyan for a large sum of money just to achieve the best audio-visual effects.
It would be great if I could establish a relationship with Yunyao, and it would be even better if we could have long-term cooperation.
Many people in the venue today had this thought, and Yu Qian was no exception.
Although she was busy all night, she kept an eye on Jiang Zhuoyan's movements, trying to find a suitable opportunity to chat with him.
The dinner was coming to an end and Jiang Zhuoyan finally had some free time.
Yu Qian hurried over and said, "Mr. Jiang, can I have five minutes of your time?"
Jiang Zhuoyan didn't look surprised. "What?"
Yu Qian's eyes lit up, and she immediately began to talk non-stop. She first praised the "Yi Meng" virtual anchor program, and then began to recommend the anchors of her own company.
Chen Fengni followed behind Yu Qian, absent-minded.
She had no interest in Yu Qian's career, and the success or failure of this cooperation had nothing to do with her.
So Shen Fengni just kept smiling, seemingly listening carefully to the conversation between the two, but in fact she was already distracted.
My thoughts were wandering, from the origin of the universe to what to eat for supper when I got home tonight. They were so wild and unorganized.
At a certain moment, she suddenly remembered to break the branches.
I don’t know how Zhezhi is doing now, and whether he has seen the person he wanted to see.
No matter what, she hoped Zhezhi could have a pleasant night.
"Feng Ni." Someone touched her arm gently.
Shen Fengni came back to her senses and saw Yu Qian's slightly reproachful look, "Boss Jiang is talking to you."
I thought I was just an accessory, but I didn't expect I would have so many roles.
Shen Fengni responded calmly: "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly."
"It's okay." Jiang Zhuoyan said gently, "I just want to ask, is Ms. Shen interested in cooperating with Yun Yao?"
Chen Fengni's expression was a little out of control. "Me?"
Her fan base and data are indeed good, but there are many competitors on the platform who are better than her. She is aware of her shortcomings and knows that she is definitely not the best candidate, so she has never considered it.
Now Jiang Zhuoyan suddenly extended an olive branch, which really surprised her.
Jiang Zhuoyan replied, "Yes, I wonder if Miss Shen is willing?"
Shen Fengni's heartbeat accelerated for a moment, and her subconscious told her that this was not a bad thing, but when she thought of her own situation, she immediately hesitated.
The things that tied her down were too heavy, making it difficult for her to make a decision immediately.
"Mr. Jiang, you don't understand. Feng Ni isn't very ambitious. I'm afraid she won't be able to do well."
Just as he was hesitating, Yu Qian spoke up. She put her arm around Shen Fengni's shoulders, as if the two were very intimate. "Our company has many excellent talent anchors. Why don't we choose someone else?"
To be fair, there is nothing wrong with Shen Fengni's ability. She usually sings ancient style songs, which matches Yun Yao's style.
However, Shen Fengni had been under her suppression for so long that she inevitably harbored resentment. Collaborating with Yun Yao was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she wasn't confident leaving it to Shen Fengni. If she retaliated and deliberately caused trouble for her, it would be a real hassle.
Shen Fengni saw through Yu Qian's thoughts at a glance, but in fact she did not deny the excuse given by the other party.
Firstly, she really doesn't like competing and just wants to make a living doing what she likes; secondly, she is under Yu Qian's control, and her efforts are only to increase the GDP of Yu Qian's company.
If hard work can't change anything, then what's the point of hard work?
“I like people with a relaxed feel, and Miss Shen is a good fit.”
She was thinking about how to reply when Jiang Zhuoyan's voice rang out, "Besides, Miss Shen's business ability is very strong. She and Yun Yao are both Chinese style anchors. If it is Miss Shen, we can consider long-term cooperation."
Everything that happened tonight was unexpected, and Shen Fengni felt that the world was becoming more and more magical.
Jiang Zhuoyan had said this, and there was no room for refusal.
If you don't agree, you will be offending the other person.
Even Yu Qian, who was reluctant at first, immediately chose to compromise and kept winking at Shen Fengni, asking her to agree quickly.
After Shen Fengni agreed, the three of them chatted briefly and agreed to pick a time in the future to discuss the details of the cooperation in detail.
Although the ending is not quite the same as expected, the goal has been achieved after all.
"It's interesting. There are so many excellent anchors, why did Mr. Jiang choose you? But since things have come to this, you should just cooperate with the work honestly and don't do anything unnecessary. It won't benefit either you or me."
Yu Qian was indeed worried, and she warned him as soon as she got in the car. However, she was obviously in a good mood because they had reached a cooperation, and she even talked a lot on the way back.
"Watch Yunyao's live broadcasts more often these days, and think about the content of the cooperation yourself. The effect of the first connection is very important..."
Shen Fengni listened indifferently, occasionally responding casually.
She lowered her head and saw the chat software interface on her phone screen.
Habits are really scary. Chen Fengni suddenly discovered that whenever something happened, she would be the first one who wanted to share it with Zhezhi.
Lately, I seem to be chatting with Zhezhi more and more.
However, it is necessary to protect the financial backers.
Shen Fengni paralyzed herself again.
She moved her fingers and sent a message to Zhezhi, "How was your night?"
Zhezhi probably finished his social engagements and replied quickly.
Zhezhi: Not bad.
Feng Ni: Have you seen her?
Zhezhi: Yeah.
Followed by a cute expression of joy.
Zhezhi rarely sends emojis when chatting, which shows that the other person is in a good mood at the time.
Perhaps it was the night that made people sentimental, but Shen Fengni felt a little envious when she saw that expression. It was like eating an unripe grape, the sour taste made her heart tighten slightly.
I don’t know whether I envy Zhezhi for being able to see the person he wants to see, or I envy someone for being loved by Zhezhi like this.
Or maybe, it's both.
Zhezhi: How about you, is everything going well?
Shen Fengni's expression paused.
It is difficult to summarize her experience tonight as "smooth" or "unsmooth". A more appropriate word would be "unbelievable".
Feng Ni: There was a bit of an emergency.
Feng Ni: But it’s nothing, everything has been resolved.
Zhezhi: That’s good.
Zhezhi: It’s a bit late today, let’s play together another day.
Shen Fengni glanced at the time, 23:05.
She and Zhezhi would probably get home late at night, and since they both had work tomorrow, it was definitely not a good time to play games.
"I want to ask you something."
Yu Qian's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence in the car.
Chen Fengni subconsciously moved her phone away from Yu Qian, and after realizing that she wasn't paying attention to the content on her phone screen, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that I feel guilty, I just simply hate the person in front of me, so I don't want her to know anything about me.
Shen Fengni said, "What's wrong?"
Yu Qian looked over, her narrow eyes filled with scrutiny. "Do you know Mr. Jiang?"
She just reviewed what happened tonight in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.
Jiang Zhuoyan's attitude towards Shen Fengni seemed a little too special, taking her to change clothes and actively inviting her to cooperate. But she couldn't ask Jiang Zhuoyan for confirmation. After much hesitation, she couldn't help but ask Shen Fengni.
Although Shen Fengni also had doubts about this, she was too lazy to tell Yu Qian, "I don't know him."
She lowered her head and replied to Zhezhi's message: "Okay, see you in the game tomorrow."
Yu Qian was still not giving up and asked, "Then why does she take care of you so much?"
Shen Fengni said calmly: "Mr. Xiao Jiang is a good person."
She remembered something and said, "By the way, do you have Ms. Jiang's contact information? I want to thank her."
Shen Fengni didn't like owing others anything. She and Jiang Zhuoyan had just met by chance, so it wouldn't be right to take someone's couture dress for free. Furthermore, she would be collaborating with Jiang Zhuoyan's staff, so asking for their contact information wasn't presumptuous.
"No, there's no need." Yu Qian laughed and refused on the spot. "Mr. Jiang is a good person. Helping you is like giving a sausage to a stray cat. If you keep pestering it, it will be annoying. Just do your own job well and don't always think about climbing up the social ladder."
The car turned a corner, and the light from the headlights illuminated the remaining snow at the corner of the street, reflecting a faint light.
Chen Fengni suddenly thought of the calico cat picked up by Jiang Zhuoyan.
Jiang Zhuoyan must have been very good to it, so good that it could let go of its instincts and the wariness it had developed while wandering, trust humans wholeheartedly, and learn to act coquettishly and throw tantrums.
"Chen Fengni, you should have some self-awareness." Yu Qian continued, "For people like you, not bothering them is the best way to show your gratitude."
"That's just your idea." Shen Fengni raised her head and looked at her coldly, "Mr. Jiang is different from you."
