Chapter 158: Prosperity
The next day, I went to work as usual.
I opened the door, and was greeted by an unusual silence.
The corridor was empty, with only faint echoes coming from time to time, which made me feel a little strange.
I called my colleagues' names softly and walked inside carefully.
At this moment, Lao Mo suddenly jumped out from a corner with a salute in his hand.
With a "bang", colorful confetti flew all over the sky, instantly breaking the tranquility.
I was startled by this sudden surprise, but then I smiled.
"Haha, Momo, you're finally back! We've all been waiting for you!" Lao Mo smiled and patted my shoulder.
At this time, other colleagues also came out from their offices one after another, and everyone had a smile on their face.
They also held an exquisite cake in their hands with the words "Celebrating the great success of Momo's live broadcast" written on it with colorful icing.
"Momo, your live broadcast this time was really great! Not only did it help so many college students, but it also made the news and was singled out for praise!" a colleague said to me excitedly.
I took the cake they handed me and my heart was filled with emotion.
It turned out that everyone prepared this surprise specially to celebrate my achievement.
Lao Mo joked, "Momo, you have become a benchmark in the live broadcast industry this time! Your live broadcast business will surely flourish in the future and become the pride of our company!"
Listening to everyone's blessings and encouragement, my heart feels warm.
"Thank you everyone! I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations!" I said firmly.
Amidst everyone's laughter and chatter, Lin Nan suddenly walked in from outside the door.
Her steady steps and cold eyes instantly froze the originally lively atmosphere.
Colleagues stopped what they were doing, fearing that Lin Nan would criticize the celebration.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Nan seemed to have noticed no sign of the celebration. She walked straight back to her office without saying a word.
Seeing this, Lao Mo winked at everyone and whispered, "Look, even President Lin has agreed. This shows that Momo has really succeeded this time!"
There was a hint of smugness and pride in his tone.
I listened to Lao Mo's words, looked up at Jiang Yichen's office, and a ripple appeared in my heart.
I wondered if he was watching my accomplishments and if he was proud of my successes.
However, Jiang Yichen's office door was closed, and I couldn't see into his heart.
Just then, Lao Mo patted my shoulder and interrupted my thoughts.
"Momo, don't think too much. You are the star of the company now, and everyone looks up to you as a role model! Come on, let's continue celebrating!"
I smiled and nodded, rejoining the celebration.
After the celebration, Zhao Ning and I continued the live broadcast.
The lights were bright and we were free in front of the camera, singing and dancing, conveying happiness with every movement and every expression.
Fans were also infected by our enthusiasm. The barrage was full of laughter and gifts fell like raindrops, almost filling the entire screen.
"Thank you all for your support, you guys are awesome!" I said to the camera with a smile, my heart full of gratitude.
After the broadcast, I walked over to Zhao Ning, patted him on the shoulder, and praised him sincerely: "You are really becoming more and more proficient. I think you will be able to become a master and stand on your own soon."
Zhao Ning seemed a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile, "No, no, I'm still a newcomer and I still have a lot to learn. I still need you to guide me, Sister Momo."
I looked at his humble eyes and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Okay, since you are so humble, I will continue to be your 'mentor'. But remember, true growth depends on your own exploration and practice. Come on, I believe you can become a rising star in the live broadcast industry!" I encouraged.
"I try."
Zhao Ning also said with a smile.
Boom boom boom——
Lao Mo knocked on the door gently and entered. He half leaned against the door, his eyes moving between the two of us: "Mr. Jiang, please come over."
We were all stunned when we heard this, then smiled at each other, feeling puzzled as we tried to guess Jiang Yichen's intentions.
"Let's go and take a look and then you'll know." I stood up first and motioned Zhao Ning to go with me.
The two of us walked into the office, and the atmosphere was a little solemn. Jiang Yichen's eyes swept over us, finally fixed on Zhao Ning, and then threw out a document.
"After yesterday's live broadcast, the company's top management unanimously decided to officially sign you. You will be doing live broadcasts within the company from now on." Jiang Yichen's words were concise and clear.
Zhao Ning took the contract and read every clause carefully, but soon he put the contract down gently with a hesitation look on his face.
I asked in a low voice out of curiosity: "Why not sign?" I wondered in my heart, could it be that Zhao Ning has other plans?
Just when I was full of doubts, Zhao Ning looked up at Jiang Yichen and said firmly: "Mr. Jiang, the contract clearly states that I need to conduct live broadcasts independently, but I don't think I am qualified for this responsibility at the moment."
Upon hearing this, I quickly interrupted and said, "Zhao Ning, your live broadcast performance is already very good, and your fans like you very much. You must bravely take the first step to achieve success!"
However, before I finished my words, I became aware of the subtle change in the atmosphere.
I secretly glanced at Jiang Yichen and saw that his face was as gloomy as water, as if ink could drip out of it.
I suddenly had an idea. I wanted to test Jiang Yichen's true thoughts, so I turned to him and suggested, "Mr. Jiang, why don't we let Zhao Ning work with me for a while longer? This way, he can better adapt to independent live streaming."
When Zhao Ning heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy, and he nodded quickly in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Jiang, give me a little more time."
However, Jiang Yichen's face became increasingly gloomy, and he responded firmly: "If you don't sign the contract, you are not allowed to come to the company from tomorrow!"
Seeing this, I quickly tried to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere: "Mr. Jiang, just think of this as giving Zhao Ning an internship opportunity. Once he can work on his own, it won't be too late to sign the contract."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen refuted mercilessly: "Who has the final say in the company, you or me? Do you think the company is still owned by the surname Gu?"
His tone was full of unquestionable authority, which instantly brought the atmosphere in the entire office to freezing point.
These words were like a sharp knife, deeply hurting my heart. I pursed my lips and looked solemn.
In Jiang Yichen's eyes, the Gu family has already been defeated.
