Chapter 13
Before meeting Chen Fengni, Jiang Zhuoyan had no habit of watching live broadcasts.
Although her own company is involved in the live broadcast industry, there are professionals responsible for everything from recruitment to training and employment, so she doesn't need to worry about anything.
I also went to look at the content of the anchor training out of curiosity. It was hundreds of pages of PPT and thick training materials, which included a lot of rhetoric and routines.
How to attract tourists to stop, how to respond with high emotional intelligence, how to handle emergencies, how to maintain fans, and coax them to spend money willingly...
It's like an assembly line, stuffing different people into pre-set molds to create a pleasing appearance. It's so monotonous and boring.
The anchor is fake from the outside to the inside.
What fans like is just the character played out.
Jiang Zhuoyan thought so for a long time.
According to her previous habits, she would not stay in Shen Fengni's live broadcast room.
But she stopped that day.
Maybe it was because the flowers in the live broadcast room that day happened to be her favorite, maybe it was because the song Shen Fengni was singing was very nice, or maybe it was because they had met before.
In short, she not only stopped, but also listened to Shen Fengni sing several songs in a row.
Chen Fengni would chat with fans in between singing.
It can not only rest your voice, but also build relationships, killing two birds with one stone.
"Well, I used to livestream at the company, but now I've changed places." On the phone screen, Shen Fengni took a sip of water from the cup, her clear eyes curved. "After thinking about it, I think it's more convenient to livestream at home. Now I'm really a stay-at-home kid."
Chen Fengni's cup was a refreshing grass green color, with a chubby little rabbit on it, holding an equally chubby carrot in its arms.
Although her live broadcast room is decorated in ancient style, there are many cute little gadgets like this in it, just like hidden Easter eggs in the game, which make the players who are exploring the map shine.
Jiang Zhuoyan's gaze moved from the little rabbit to the white fingertips holding the cup, and then to the pair of beautiful eyes with a smile. It seemed as if a place in her heart was gently touched.
From the conversation between Shen Fengni and others, she learned that Shen Fengni used to broadcast live at a place provided by the company. Later, because there was enough space at home and he didn't want to go back and forth, he simply moved the live broadcast room home.
The comments were all congratulating him on his new home, and Chen Fengni smiled and thanked them one by one.
After a brief hesitation, Jiang Zhuoyan clicked on the recharge interface and added 100 yuan to his account.
There were a dazzling array of gifts in the mall. Jiang Zhuoyan flipped through them all and finally chose a gift called "Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom".
She clicks Give.
The gift was worth just over thirty yuan, and the money I'd just added to my account was gone by a third. A special effect blossomed on the phone screen, a bouquet of colorful flowers that stayed for two seconds before fading.
"Hey, thank you for Zhezhi's 'Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom'."
Chen Fengni instinctively began to thank him. When she read Jiang Zhuoyan's name, her expression paused for a moment, and then asked, "Zhezhi, this is your first time here, right? Is there any song you want to hear?"
Jiang Zhuoyan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Shen Fengni's reaction was beyond her expectations.
The live streaming section of the "Moments" app has a strict hierarchy, with each person's name labeled with their wealth level. The more they spend, the higher their level. Initially, it's easy to upgrade, costing only a few cents, but at a certain level, it can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions to upgrade to a higher level.
Jiang Zhuoyan's account was registered casually before, with almost no consumption. His wealth level was only level 3. He just raised it to level 8 after sending gifts. He should not be the target group of any anchor.
At that time, Chen Fengni's live broadcast room was already very successful, with the number of people usually maintained at two to three hundred. The required song request gift was "Starry Sky" worth more than 150 yuan, which was five times the value of the gift given by Jiang Zhuoyan.
Practice has proven that this price is reasonable, otherwise Shen Fengni wouldn't have so many song requests. If the price is too low, there will be too many orders, and she won't be able to sing all the songs, and her voice won't be able to bear it.
So according to common sense, Chen Fengni should have thanked her for the gift and then nothing else happened.
"Not a song request." Jiang Zhuoyan typed back, "Congratulations on your new home."
"Huh?" Now it was Shen Fengni's turn to be surprised. She widened her eyes slightly and then smiled, "Thank you Zhezhi, you really thought of that."
Jiang Zhuoyan replied: "You're welcome."
"No, I still want to sing a song for you." Chen Fengni seemed very happy, her tone light and a little cute and proud. "Judging from your level, you don't usually watch live broadcasts, right? Is this a gift because you like me so much?"
Jiang Zhuoyan was stunned.
In the business world, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and always handled all kinds of people with ease. But at that moment, she clearly felt her own helplessness.
Shen Fengni's expectant eyes made her mind go blank. She tried hard to search, but could not find any appropriate and thoughtful words to respond.
But she was reluctant to let this anticipation continue, so she could only awkwardly admit, "I like it very much."
Shen Fengni was content, and the smile in her eyes became even softer. "How could I have deserved this?"
That day, Chen Fengni sang a song "Feng Yue Yu Ni" to her, which was recorded by Jiang Zhuoyan and she listened to it over and over again later.
Until now, it is still one of her recurring songs.
It wasn't just "Feng Yue Yu Ni" that Jiang Zhuoyan developed a habit of screen recording. She edited every song Shen Fengni sang, extracted the audio, uploaded it to her music player, and listened to it for a while every day.
Over time, there are already hundreds of songs in Chen Fengni's exclusive playlist.
Jiang Zhuoyan was slightly distracted by the clear and pleasant female voice in the headphones.
She was clearly aware of her obsession with Shen Fengni, and sometimes she wondered if she was crazy for being so obsessed with someone who was destined to be fruitless.
But Shen Fengni is really good.
It was so good that she thought about it day and night, and was willing to accept it even if there was no result.
After sending her the first gift, Jiang Zhuoyan visited Shen Fengni's livestream several more times, and later became a regular. She watched Shen Fengni's popularity climb day by day, with tons of expensive gifts pouring in every day and the special effects on the screen practically non-stop.
But Chen Fengni was still the same as at the beginning, sincerely thanking every gift, regardless of its value.
Those who know how to cherish others' kindness should also be cherished.
But what if the person who gets her doesn’t know how to cherish her?
After the song finished, Jiang Zhuoyan pressed the pause button and made a phone call.
"Hello?" A gentle male voice came from the other end, his tone respectful. "Mr. Jiang, how can I help you?"
Jiang Zhuoyan said, "Please help me find out about Shen Fengni's financial and asset status."
"Well, this may be a bit difficult." The male voice hesitated, "Mr. Yu has done a good job of keeping this confidential. Miss Shen is his wife, and they probably have a lot of vested interests, so..."
Jiang Zhuoyan interrupted him, "How long will it take?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. "At least a week."
***
"Ms. Shen, the evidence you provided is sufficient to prove that your wife, Yu Qian, has been cheating on you for a long time. According to our country's current laws, even if she does not agree to a divorce, a divorce lawsuit will go smoothly."
The capable voice of a woman came from the other end of the phone, sounding particularly reassuring.
On a cloudy day, the wind on the balcony is cold, but it also makes people clear-headed.
Chen Fengni wrapped her coat tightly around her and took a deep breath. "If I go through the divorce litigation process, how long will it take?"
The woman replied: "About a month."
Shen Fengni murmured, "Faster than I expected."
"But Miss Shen, there's something I need to remind you of." The woman changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat serious. "The house you currently live in and the car you use are all Yu Qian's pre-marital property. The income from her company has also been notarized long ago and has nothing to do with you. In other words, if you divorce, you won't receive any financial compensation. In short, you'll be kicked out of the house."
Shen Fengni listened quietly, without any emotion changing on her face, "I understand."
"Is this really okay? According to the contract you signed with the company, if you want to get your account back, you'll need to pay a hefty penalty. Given your current financial situation, I'm afraid you can't afford it."
"It's okay. I'll find a way to pay for the liquidated damages." Shen Fengni responded and then smiled. "As long as the divorce goes smoothly, that's fine."
She had to get her livestream account back, and she had never thought of taking possession of the car, house, or anything else. She didn't want anything related to Yu Qian, and now she just wanted to get rid of everything related to Yu Qian as soon as possible, and have no connection with her anymore, the sooner the better.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Fengni lit a cigarette and thought quietly.
The person who called was the lawyer introduced to her by Sheng Xinyan, named Guan An, who had rich work experience and a good reputation in the industry.
Because Sheng Xinyan had greeted her in advance and took good care of her, she felt very safe.
A thin puff of smoke rose from his fingertips and quickly dissipated into the cold winter air.
In the pale light of the sky, Shen Fengni stood silently, looking even more frail, as if vulnerable.
She closed her eyes slightly and smoked slowly.
Since there are no obstacles in the process, the only issue left is funding.
Sheng Xinyan has invested in a lot of projects recently and needs to turn over funds. It will take a while before he can lend her the money, but no later than half a month.
Chen Fengni was not in a hurry. She had come this long and didn't mind waiting a little longer.
The cigarette in his hand gradually burned out, and Shen Fengni threw it into the ashtray beside him.
She looked down at the bustling city below, her mind empty.
Once the matter is resolved, she will be free again.
What should we do then?
I will probably get a cat, preferably one like the one in Jiang Zhuoyan's family, lively and clingy.
I will probably take a vacation, travel to a city I like, meet some friends, and change my mood.
That’s right.
A figure suddenly appeared in Shen Fengni's mind, and then the corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a smile.
We have known each other for so long, but I still don’t know which city Zhezhi is in.
After everything is over, she wants to meet Zhezhi.
She and Zhezhi...will definitely become good friends.
