Chapter 126 Seizing the Opportunity
Although Zhou Heran's words contained an element of exaggeration, Yu Li could even imagine Qi Chenyan's expression when he said those words in a serious tone.
She blushed and coughed, saying, "Actually, he was just joking. We're overjoyed that Mr. Zhou wants to be our child's godfather."
"Then it's settled, no backing out, okay? Is there a spare room? I'll start a live stream right now. I'm full of energy for my future goddaughter. From now on, your business is my business!"
This excitement made Yu Li feel like she had found a savior for her child.
Zhou Heran came alone, and he needed someone to help him during the live stream. Yu Li immediately introduced Qi Xi: "Let Xi Xi help out."
As she spoke, Yu Li gave Qi Xi a look that said, "I've found you all the opportunities, so you must seize them."
But Qi Xi was very nervous and asked in a low voice, "Am I not good enough to be Zhou Zhou's assistant?"
"You dared to jump up and hit him just now, what else wouldn't a little fan like you dare to do? Keep it up, you can do it!"
Qi Xi: "..."
A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories, thank you.
They found the room next door, and Qi Xi helped them with some simple tidying up.
To avoid any mistakes, the sofa was moved to the wall, so only the sofa and the white wall were visible in the shot.
Zhou Heran then handed his phone to Qi Xi.
"Then I'll leave it to my little assistant today."
My little helper!
Ahhh!
A million screaming chickens were roaring in Qi Xi's heart.
Zhou Heran has a Douyin account. Although there is no promotion during the live stream, his fans seem to be constantly waiting on his account.
As soon as he started his live stream, the number of viewers in the live stream room had already reached tens of thousands.
As news of Zhou Heran's live stream spread rapidly online, Qi Xi, as his assistant, watched for the first time from a first-person perspective as the live stream's popularity soared to the million-level.
This shows just how incredibly popular Zhou Heran is.
Because she arrived in a hurry, Zhou Heran didn't even bother with any styling today; she was just wearing her usual casual outfit.
But with this handsome face that can be easily washed with water and then appear on camera without makeup, in the words of fans, their Zhou Zhou would still stand out from the crowd even if he were wearing a burlap sack.
Zhou Heran first greeted the camera, and then got straight to the point.
"I started a live stream today without prior notice, just for a rumor that seems and sounds absolutely outrageous."
"I don't know some of the rumors that only insiders at Blue Sky TV know, rumors that even they haven't verified."
"How could something be maliciously manipulated by marketing accounts and then posted online, and still be believed by so many people? I was also incredulous when I was told about this trending topic."
The comments section was still full of praise for Zhou Zhou's handsomeness, and some people were even asking why Zhou Zhou suddenly started a live stream to give away freebies today.
Of course, many fans also advised Zhou Heran to quickly sever ties with Yu Li and refuse to watch the second episode, otherwise he would be dragged down by this young host, because of today's trending topic.
It wasn't until Zhou Heran went live to address this issue and personally debunked the claims online that things came to light.
"First, I want to clarify that there are two reasons why I was invited to participate in the celebrity interview."
"Firstly, it's because the first episode was so popular that I watched it and thought both the interview content and the program's effects were outstanding."
"I didn't expect the production team to invite me for the second episode. Faced with such an excellent program, I naturally had no reason to refuse. After all, who doesn't want to be famous? I also want to be even more famous."
While recounting the facts, Zhou Heran also used a playful joke.
Qi Xi, who was filming behind the camera, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although her laughter was not loud, it was even a very short sound.
But because there were only the two of them in the room, the sound was very clear. She was so frightened that she opened her eyes wide and immediately covered her mouth.
Zhou Heran raised an eyebrow and defused Qi Xi's laughter with a single sentence: "Look, even my assistant thinks this is too outrageous and couldn't help but laugh."
Although Qi Xi knew that Zhou Heran was just saying it casually, the phrase "my assistant" still made her heart race and her brain feel congested.
"As for the second reason, it is naturally because of the host's husband. Yes, that's right, the so-called coal boss who is rumored to be rich but has no money, who buys fake diamond rings for his wife, is pot-bellied and balding in middle age."
"I really don't know whether my good brother, who grew up with me wearing open-crotch pants and has never been ugly, should cry or laugh when he finds out that he has been falsely portrayed as such online."
Qi Xi couldn't help but give Zhou Heran a thumbs up; his linguistic skills were truly amazing.
In just a few words, it was proven that Yu Li was indeed married, but her husband was a tall, rich, and handsome man on par with her, not the short, ugly, and poor man rumored online.
As he spoke, Zhou Heran sighed again: "To be honest, I didn't even know I was being used. No wonder he, such a busy man, suddenly called me before and asked me where I could buy a unique diamond."
"I happened to know about an auction recently, so I gave him the address. I never expected that he would go there specifically to buy a wedding ring for his wife to create a romantic surprise. I'm really fed up with this dog food."
"But I never expected that such a small matter could be taken out of context, embellished, and turned into a completely different story."
Zhou Heran shrugged and said helplessly, "I used to think that the entertainment industry was the most competitive, but I never expected that the TV station was the real place of deceit and treachery."
"The people down here get envious when a program becomes popular. It's understandable that other TV stations would start offering similar programs to compete with it."
"But within the same TV station, another one came along that was exactly the same, and they didn't even bother to change the name. Whether it was the segments or the content, it was all copied one-to-one."
Zhou Heran asked with a sincere expression: "So these days, as long as you work in the same company and are colleagues, it's legal and compliant to simply copy someone else's achievements?"
"So, in that case, when I read online novels and see works that are 1:1 copies of the original work on the same website, it's not plagiarism, but rather mutual help among colleagues?"
Zhou Heran's words were practically a direct attack on Qi Jianyue and the celebrity interview she hosted.
