Pan Xiaoqi and Yuan Xiaomin were overjoyed, thinking that Chen Zhe wanted them to become live streamers. They both fantasized about becoming as famous as He Xiaoli.
I heard that Linglong Club offers very high commissions to its live streamers. Popular ones usually earn tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, while super popular ones can earn millions. This kind of income can be life-changing for them.
If I could get that money, I wouldn't have to bother trying to please those old, greasy men.
However, Chen Zhe's arrangement disappointed them again. Instead of making them live streamers, Chen Zhe arranged for them to be background figures, the kind of people who stand behind the live streamers.
Both of them felt a little wronged after hearing this.
Yuan Xiaomin came over, hugged Chen Zhe's arm and shook it, saying in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Chen, I don't want to do this kind of work, can we find another one?"
“Yes, Mr. Chen, this doesn’t look high-class at all. He Xiaoli can be a live streamer, so why are the two of us just background figures?”
Pan Xiaoqi also joined them.
Chen Zhe was getting a little overwhelmed by the two of them, and Wu Yuanyuan next to him spoke up to stop them: "What are you doing? Don't you have any manners?"
Wu Yuanyuan's voice brought the two of them back to their senses. Chen Zhe had been speaking to them politely, making them almost forget that he was a high-ranking leader.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen..."
The two took a step back.
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "It's okay, neither of you wants to do this kind of work?"
The two nodded.
Yuan Xiaomin said aggrievedly, "Even being a background prop won't make you famous."
Chen Zhe shook his head; "I don't think so. I think anything can become a hit, it just depends on how it's arranged."
"Mr. Chen, the background is just a supporting role. How can a supporting role become popular?"
Pan Xiaoqi said dejectedly.
"You're saying supporting actors can't become famous? Didn't you see how even a cockroach became famous in the movie? If a cockroach can become famous, why can't you two? Are you even less famous than a cockroach?"
"this……"
One sentence left the two speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and obeyed Chen Zhe's arrangement.
Since the Paradise Club didn't have a live-streaming studio set up, Chen Zhe took them to the Linglong Club in the North District, as this club was very close to the one in the North District, only one street away.
Chen Zhe arranged a private room with an ancient style, and then had Pan Xiaoqi and Yuan Xiaomin wear two sets of gauze dresses. These two gauze dresses were a little revealing, but not too revealing, highlighting the beauty while controlling the scale well.
He had the two girls remove their makeup and asked the Linglong Club's professional makeup artists to do their makeup. The makeup artists hired by the Linglong Club were all very high-level; they had previously worked in TV dramas or movies. They were able to hire them because of Lin Meiyu's connections.
After the makeup artist finished doing their makeup, Chen Zhe was much more satisfied. Although the two still had that worldly air about them, they looked much more classical and comfortable.
He had someone find a livestreamer, whose focus was on literature and history. There were many livestreamers selling goods at Linglong Club, but Chen Zhe still prepared several livestreamers who talked about history, culture, literature, and geography. Why did he do this? Because when Linglong Club was reforming, it raised the banner of promoting traditional culture.
Promoting traditional culture definitely requires some solid capabilities. If all you do is sell products, how can you promote traditional culture?
We definitely need to find a few people who can share practical information.
These literary anchors were not the technicians from their club before. Those technicians were okay at massage, singing, and playing instruments, but their literary skills were really not impressive. These anchors were all brought over by Wu Qingli at Chen Zhe's request. The one who came over now used to give lectures on television.
The streamer is a 45-year-old male who holds an honorary position at Tunghai University and occasionally streams here as a side job.
He was dressed in a scholar's robe, holding a long ruler in his hand, and his beard was pasted on, since modern people rarely grow such long beards.
He dressed up like an old scholar. He was slightly taken aback when he saw that Chen Zhe had specially prepared two backdrops for him to assist with the broadcast, because he usually spoke by himself.
"Mr. Chen, what is the meaning of this arrangement?"
"Professor Lu, today we're going to talk about a famous courtesan. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to describe her well, so I specially found two models for you. The clothes they're wearing have been carefully examined and passed. Please check them."
Lu Guoan nodded and circled around Pan Xiaoqi and Yuan Xiaomin.
Their eyes lingered on certain sensitive areas of the two people's bodies.
Yuan Xiaomin swayed her voluptuous body.
She said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Professor Lu, stop looking. It's not like you haven't seen it before."
Lu Guoan coughed after hearing Yuan Xiaomin's voice.
He had just felt that she looked familiar. It turned out that this woman was from the Paradise Club next door. He used to go there often and remembered Yuan Xiaomin.
What are the masseuses from Paradise Club doing here?
"Mr. Chen, this isn't our club, is it?"
"Professor Lu, this is indeed not one of our Linglong Club's technicians, but it's close enough. You should prepare for the lecture later."
"Okay, sure."
Lu Guoan's face turned slightly red. He hadn't expected that a technician he used to know would appear here. Fearing that Chen Zhe would notice something was amiss, he seriously prepared what he was going to say.
Yuan Xiaomin and Pan Xiaoqi both chuckled when they saw this.
Yuan Xiaomin whispered in Pan Xiaoqi's ear, "That old man really knows how to pretend to be righteous. When he came to our area before, his hands were never still."
"Who says otherwise? He looks respectable, but in reality, he's just like those stinky men, unable to walk past women."
Chen Zhe didn't hear what the two were talking about, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared; he only cared about the outcome.
He wanted to try a different path, so he personally oversaw the process.
With the addition of two beautiful female assistants, the viewership did indeed improve, but Chen Zhe always felt something was off. Their interactions always seemed a bit secretive.
How can I describe this feeling?
To put it simply, if he turned off the cameras and his phone right now, he felt that Lu Guoan would be unable to resist lying on top of these two women.
Sleazy.
Yes, it's a bit sleazy.
Since it's about historical literature, it can't be too vulgar. It can attract traffic, but Chen Zhe doesn't want that kind of traffic. He wants something more positive.
He stopped the live stream after sensing something was wrong.
After he called a halt, Lu Guoan, Pan Xiaoqi, and Yuan Xiaomin were all puzzled, especially Lu Guoan. He had just gotten to the exciting part, and now he was being asked to stop. How could he bear it?
"Mr. Chen, why are you stopping my live stream? Was I not good enough?"
Chen Zhe shook his head; "What you said is very good."
"Is it because my data usage is bad?"
"Professor Lu has a lot of viewers! I just saw it; the number of viewers in the live stream was skyrocketing."
Yuan Xiaomin chimed in.
These two people had been keeping an eye on the number of viewers in the live stream since it started. They were very happy to see the number of viewers increase because people were starting to talk about them, which made them feel that they were about to become famous.
So when Chen Zhe stopped the live stream, they were a little unhappy.
"Your traffic is also very good."
Chen Zhe said.
Lu Guoan was even more puzzled; "Why is that?"
Chen Zhe couldn't directly say that he was a bit sleazy, so he just made up an excuse, saying that today's topic might be a bit too far-fetched and he needed to revise it.
Hearing that this was the reason, Lu Guoan was a little disappointed. He had just felt that he had cooperated quite well, with two beautiful female anchors assisting him, making the work very enjoyable.
I don't want to change it.
Chen Zhe returned to his office. The manager's office at the Linglong Club in the North District was now empty. Wu Yuanyuan had gone to the Paradise Club to take on the role of general manager, and there was no manager for the North District at the moment.
Chen Zhe searched through the list, but couldn't find a suitable one after a long time.
Those few literary broadcasters are either too old and lack energy, or they can't manage their time. Most of these literary broadcasters are doing it part-time; they have better jobs and wouldn't leave their own workplaces to come here.
Therefore, Chen Zhe was not satisfied with the several people he had selected.
Just as he was about to give up on the topic, there was a knock on the office door.
Mo Xiaohong walked in.
"Mr. Chen, your father is here to see you."
The reason Mo Xiaohong appeared in the North District is because, as mentioned earlier, the manager position here is vacant. Chen Zhe thinks Mo Xiaohong is quite good, and since the two of them have had a bit of a relationship, it would be good to give her a boost. So he called her over to serve as acting manager and let's see how she performs in the meantime.
"My father?"
Chen Zhe was somewhat surprised.
He was stunned for a short while when his father, Chen Yishou, swaggered in, followed by a man about his age.
Seeing his father approach with a strange man, Chen Zhe became even more puzzled.
"Dad, is there something you need from me?"
Chen Yishou smiled and nodded, then introduced the other men beside him.
"Xiao Zhe, I called you here today to ask you to help him find a job."
"Um?"
When Chen Zhe heard that he was asked to help this person arrange a job, he felt a little uneasy. He was not very willing to do things that involved using connections, but he did not refuse outright. Instead, he inquired about the relationship first.
"Dad, who is this? I've never seen him before."
"Oh, he is..."
Chen Yishou was thinking about it for a while and then forgot about it himself.
The man stepped forward and said, "Mr. Chen, hello. I am the substitute teacher of your father's aunt's classmate's son. My surname is Xu and my name is Xu Renshan."
Chen Zhe was stunned after hearing his explanation.
"What?! Could you please say that again? What kind of relationship is this?"
