Chapter 115 Live broadcast success

Qi Nian's phone vibrated, and he clicked it and found that it was a Weibo reminder that the live broadcast he had scheduled was about to begin.

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and couldn't remember when he had made an appointment for the live broadcast.

He opened it puzzled and saw the words "paparazzi company". Then he remembered that it was a live broadcast from Cheng Yelei's company.

The host in the picture had already started to warm up the audience, and Qi Nian immediately started to watch with great interest.

It seemed that many people had been looking forward to this "melon-eating ceremony" for a long time. The barrage of comments was refreshing so fast that Qi Nian couldn't even see what they were saying.

But they were probably urging the paparazzi to break the news as soon as possible.

However, this paparazzi, who was carefully selected by Cheng Yelei and specialized in live broadcasting, is an expert in how to entice people.

The other party was talking about the name of a young actress, but when he got to the most crucial part, he suddenly stopped and started introducing the product at hand.

"Look at this bucket of hot and sour noodles. It's sour and spicy, and tastes great..."

The barrage paused for a moment, then refreshed faster.

"Who the hell wants to eat hot and sour noodles? Keep talking!"

"I give in. I'll buy it. Is it okay for me to buy it?"

"I've already placed the order, tell me quickly."

"Please, tell me, the child has been bitten."

Seeing this, Qi Nian couldn't help but place an order for a box of hot and sour noodles.

After watching the paparazzi introduce the hot and sour noodles for a long time, the other party probably saw that the sales volume was almost enough and directly revealed the first explosive news of the day.

Instantly, the live broadcast room exploded.

Logically speaking, the number of people watching a live broadcast will gradually decrease as the show goes on. Of course, there are also some with more people watching, but for the most part, the number will only increase slowly as the show goes on.

However, the paparazzi’s live broadcast room is completely different. After the first piece of explosive news was released, perhaps because the crowd thought that the paparazzi did have something, the number of people in the live broadcast room began to grow rapidly in an instant.

On the other hand, many people who just want to listen to the gossip are also placing orders crazily.

The people hired by Cheng Yelei do a good job in quality control, and these foods are products that everyone is familiar with, so there is no need to worry about not being able to eat them after buying them home.

Moreover, they are all cheap snacks or fast food products, and the prices are very cheap. It is really a good deal to spend a few dozen yuan to eat a melon and get food in return.

As a result, many people began to place orders enthusiastically.

Later on, I don’t know if it was my imagination, but I felt that the paparazzi’s voices became much more cheerful when they spoke.

He was indeed right. The paparazzi is extremely happy now. He was originally afraid that the audience would not buy his stories and the products would not sell. Now it seems that he was wrong. Eating melons is indeed the primary productivity!

Moreover, a portion of the money earned from the sales will be given to him. Rounding it off, it is equivalent to seeing himself making more and more money. How can he not be happy?

But happy as it is, the paparazzi are still very professional. Apart from the fact that their voices seem to be a little lighter, nothing else can be seen.

For the first time in a long time, Qi Nian stayed up all night to watch the live broadcast of eating melons. After the live broadcast was over, he yawned with a look of sudden realization.

I just placed an order for snacks and thought I didn't spend much money, but when I looked at it, I found that I spent hundreds of dollars and bought almost all the snacks recommended by the paparazzi.

Qi Nian turned off his phone and sighed. He estimated that many people were like him tonight and their wallets were hurting.

——

Early in the morning, Qi Nian received Cheng Yelei's excited sharing.

A video popped up directly from the other party, and Qi Nian clicked on it to answer it.

"Qinian! Guess how my company's live broadcast went yesterday!" As soon as the video was connected, Cheng Yelei's excited voice came out.

Qi Nian raised his eyebrows slightly. Hmm, maybe because he had been with Chu Rongshi for a long time, he had unconsciously picked up some of his habits. "A complete victory, right?"

Cheng Yelei couldn't help but chuckle and asked happily, "How did you know?"

Qi Nian: "Because I also watched the live broadcast last night, and I also placed orders for a lot of things in your live broadcast room. By the way, when will you ship the goods?"

He secretly inquired about it and found out that he really wanted to eat the snacks ordered last night. He had never known before that there were so many snacks he had never eaten before, so he quickly bought them back to try them.

"Too many people placed orders last night, but luckily I was prepared. It will arrive in two days at the fastest, and three to five days at the slowest." Cheng Yelei said happily, and while speaking, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up to the sky.

Judging from the expression on his face when he asked the question just now, even if Qi Nian didn't watch the live broadcast last night, he could guess how the live broadcast was going to be.

"Hahaha, guess how much my turnover was yesterday?" Cheng Yelei started to show off unconsciously again.

Qi Nian heard this and felt that this was a very private question, just like asking about someone's salary. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but is it okay to talk about this?"

"Oh, there's nothing to hide." Cheng Yelei was still as naive as ever: "You are my best friend, there is nothing to hide from you."

Qi Nian blinked. This was the first time Cheng Yelei told him that he considered him his best friend.

Cheng Yelei rubbed his hands, as if he was a little shy, and then coughed lightly: "Yesterday's turnover was more than 500 million, but after deducting the price of the products themselves, it was only about 200 million."

Qi Nian's eyes widened instantly when he heard this, and he was so shocked: "Oh my God, there are so many?"

In fact, he was mentally prepared, knowing that Cheng Yelei's live broadcast room would have a lot of traffic last night, but he really didn't expect it to be so high.

You know, last night was the first live broadcast of Cheng Yelei’s company. At that time, the other party’s fame had not yet been established, but it already had such a terrifying sales volume.

Qi Nian couldn't help but sigh, no wonder so many investors want to get involved in the entertainment industry, it is simply a huge gold mine, and so much money can be made easily.

Moreover, after the various revelations from Cheng Yelei’s company last night, when we all thought about it this morning, we found that many of the hot searches on Weibo were discussing the various revelations from last night.

Based on these revelations, many people got access to the paparazzi company's Weibo and paid attention to it.

Even now many people say that the entertainment industry has finally found someone to clean up its mess.

You know, according to Cheng Yelei, only one of the hot searches here was bought by the other party, and the others were added by themselves.

Therefore, the number of fans of the paparazzi company accounts is also growing at a terrifying rate.

Seeing Qi Nian's reaction, Cheng Yelei couldn't help but brag: "Oh, actually I didn't expect the effect yesterday to be so good."

Qi Nian couldn't help but laugh and said sincerely, "Congratulations."

Cheng Yelei was so excited when he heard this that he couldn't help but share with Qi Nian: "Do you know? Just now, my dad suddenly came to me."

Moreover, the reason he went to see him was not to scold him, but to praise him for the first time. You know, Cheng Yelei was often scolded in the past, but he was almost never praised from childhood to adulthood.

The moment his father praised him, Cheng Yelei almost thought he had misheard or there was something wrong with his father's brain.

Cheng Yelei sometimes speaks without thinking and unconsciously says what he wants to say.

Then, he saw his father’s face turned black. Actually, it was not Cheng’s fault. How could he be in a good mood when he was happily praising his son and then his son said that he had a problem with his brain?

However, this time, Cheng's father did not beat his son for the first time. He just glared at Cheng Yelei and said some words of encouragement.

Cheng Yelei was shocked, and realized that it wasn't that his father had a problem with his brain, but that the other party really wanted to praise him!

Cheng Yelei never said that he really envied those children who were praised by their parents, but since he was a child, he was not good at studying and was not good at anything. His father had a strict personality. When the father and son were together, he could always see his father's expression of disappointment.

As for compliments, he never received any. He sometimes felt confused, wondering if he could only be a second-generation rich kid who lived a life of idleness and waiting to die.

He could only comfort himself that it was good like this, as there were so many people who wanted to be second-generation rich but couldn't yet.

But Cheng Yelei is the kind of person who can't even lie still. After lying down for a while, he can't help but jump up. Then he starts a business, then loses money again, and the cycle repeats like crazy, doing sit-ups like crazy.

Those second-generation rich people who have nothing to lose laugh at him, and those who have been trained to be elites also look down on him. He is one of those people who can't fit in with either side.

Therefore, Cheng Yelei was very confused for quite a long time.

Although he described this business venture as one of great challenges, only he knew how nervous he was inside. He even suffered from insomnia for the first time in his life.

Knowing that this live broadcast was a complete success meant that he did not make a wrong judgment and he succeeded the first time.

"Hahaha, it turns out I just haven't found the direction that suits me!" Cheng Yelei couldn't help but grinning.

Father Cheng felt a headache when he saw his son's stupid look.

"You know what? This is the first time my dad has praised me like this." Cheng Yelei's tail was puffed up in the air as he happily shared it with Qi Nian.

Seeing Cheng Yelei's happy look, Qi Nian also praised him a few words, making Cheng Yelei feel so happy that he almost floated up.

"Stop bragging, stop bragging. I'm feeling dizzy from excitement." Cheng Yelei said in a fake tone, but in fact he was expecting Qi Nian to brag more.

"Is it possible that you feel dizzy because you stayed up late?" Qi Nian glanced at the dark circles under Cheng Yelei's eyes, and said with worry: "You should go to bed quickly, or you will die suddenly."

Cheng Yelei realized that his head was indeed aching, and said quickly, "Yes. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I have to go to sleep now. I don't want to die."

He has finally taken a step towards success. If he dies suddenly, he will have no place to cry.

For the sake of his own life, Cheng Yelei had to reluctantly bid farewell to Qi Nian's boasting and went to sleep: "I'll tell you when I wake up."

Qi Nian nodded and urged, "Go quickly."

Cheng Yelei had two big dark circles under his eyes. He hung up the phone reluctantly, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep almost without any pause.

——

Yan Jiru wore sunglasses and followed the signs all the way out of the airport. He looked at the Beijing city outside, which no longer had any familiar feeling. He began to hesitate to move forward. He didn't know whether it was because he was homesick or for some other reason, but he was slow to move.

There were people hurrying around everywhere, but Yan Jiru seemed out of place.

Yan Jiru was walking aimlessly when his cell phone rang. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was Yan Yuchuan who opened the phone.

When the call was connected, Yan Yuchuan's voice came with surprise: "Dad! You are back home?"

Yan Jiru nodded: "Well, come back and take a look."

As for what he was looking at, he didn't say.

Yan Yuchuan never thought that his father had really come to his senses and had already returned to China. He immediately said, "Dad, where are you now? I'll pick you up! You haven't been back to China for 20 years, so you must not know the way at all. Be careful not to get lost."

Yan Yuchuan still speaks in such a straightforward way, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Yan Jiru snorted coldly: "Nonsense, no matter what, I have stayed here for a long time, how could I not recognize him! But you, don't come to pick me up and get yourself lost."

"You don't have to worry about that." Yan Yuchuan said proudly, "I have a girlfriend, Tianyan is familiar with this place, but Dad, you don't seem to have a girlfriend to help you."

Yan Jiru felt a pang in his heart. Who on earth educated this son? He couldn't keep this son anymore!

On the other side, Chu Tianyan was completely speechless after listening to what Yan Yuchuan said. She probably heard Yan Yuchuan talk about Yan Jiru's situation. What's the difference between what the other party said and stabbing Yan Jiru in the chest?

Chu Tianyan whispered: "You are really bad at speaking."

Yan Yuchuan shrank his neck in fear and said unconvincedly: "I am telling the truth."

Chu Tianyan was speechless. She asked Yan Yuchuan to give her the phone so that she could talk to Yan Jiru.

Yan Yuchuan obediently handed her the phone. Chu Tianyan smiled and said a few words of concern to Yan Jiru before saying, "Uncle, Beijing has really changed a lot in recent years. How about Yuchuan and I go pick you up and show you around? Wherever you want to go, we'll take you there."

Yan Jiru's mood, which was originally filled with anger at his son, was instantly soothed and he felt much better. Look at that girl, how good at talking!

However, Yan Jiru still refused: "No need, I'm going around by myself, I have a big mouth under my nose, I can ask for directions if I don't know them, don't worry about it, if I want you to take me, I will call you naturally."

Chu Tianyan heard this and could tell that Yan Yuchuan really wanted to go around alone, so she didn't say anything else: "Okay, uncle, you can call me anytime if you have anything."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianyan felt helpless. Yan Yuchuan was still whispering beside her: "My dad is like this, very stubborn. I guess it's because of his character that his wife didn't want him at the beginning."

Chu Tianyan glared at Yan Yuchuan speechlessly and said, "Does anyone talk about their own father like that?"

Yan Yuchuan didn't think he had done anything wrong and explained, "I was telling the truth. After all these years, I know a little bit about what happened back then."

Chu Tianyan coughed lightly and asked curiously, "What happened back then?"

"It's nothing. My dad's favorite person went to the United States with him, but for some reason, they had a big fight. The person my dad liked said they wanted to break up, and then went straight back to China from the United States." Yan Yuchuan roughly said what he knew: "Later, my dad came back to look for the person he liked, but found out that the person he liked was actually with someone else."

Chu Tianyan: "It's normal to find someone else after breaking up."

Yan Yuchuan continued, "But my dad has a very strong personality. He couldn't accept it, so he questioned the other party, but the other party also had a strong personality. At that time, the other party said that she was with someone else, and told my dad to get out and leave China, saying that she never wanted to see my dad again."

Chu Tianyan was stunned: "What on earth is the reason for such a quarrel?"

Yan Yuchuan shook his head. He didn't know the specific content. Anyway, Yan Jiru was young and energetic at that time. After being treated like this by the other party, he really left China immediately.

In the United States, he was depressed for a while, but he still couldn't let go of her, so he sent her a message, thinking that as long as she replied, he would return to China immediately and they would pretend nothing had happened.

However, all the messages Yan Jiru sent fell on deaf ears and received no response.

In this way, Yan Jiru never returned to China, but he also did not get married over the years and only adopted Yan Yuchuan.

Chu Tianyan sighed after hearing this, and wondered if Yan Jiru would come back just to find the other party.

On the other side, Yan Jiru was still walking aimlessly. He didn't know where he was going. Suddenly he smelled a fragrance. He turned his head and saw fried rice being sold on the roadside. A hint of nostalgia appeared in his eyes.

He walked over and asked the boss for a serving of fried rice. When the boss finished cooking it, he felt around his chest but found nothing. He frowned, because he had accidentally lost his wallet at some point!

At this time, the boss had already packed the fried rice and said with a smile, "Hello, there are twelve in total."

Yan Jiru was extremely embarrassed. It was already done, so he couldn't just reject it.

But his wallet...

He said embarrassedly: "Um...I lost my wallet."

The boss glanced at him, reached out to pick up the fallen payment code, and continued with a smile: "You can scan the code to pay."

Yan Jiru was even more embarrassed. He knew that everyone in the country now paid by scanning codes, but he made impromptu decisions when he returned to China and had not applied for many things, so he had no way to pay.

"Sorry, I just returned home." Yan Jiru said awkwardly.

"You don't know how to pay with your phone?" The boss frowned, looked Yan Jiru up and down, and said puzzledly: "I see you are not very old."

He looked to be in his early 40s at most, and the people he met who used cash were all in their 70s or 80s.

"I don't want this fried rice, sorry." Yan Jiru could only say.

The boss was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "There are so few people buying food at this time, and no one is coming to buy it. You can't give this to others. What should I do?"

That's true. Not many people come here to buy fried rice now. Yan Jiru hesitated whether to call Yan Yuchuan. Oh, if he called, he would definitely be laughed at by that guy!

He sighed, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number. As Yan Yuchuan asked, he coughed awkwardly and said, "Well, come over and give me some money."

When Yan Yuchuan heard about his father's embarrassing situation, he immediately laughed and slapped his thigh. Yan Jiru frowned and asked, "Are you coming or not?"

Yan Yuchuan: "I'm coming right now, you have to tell me where it is, right?"

The boss opposite me frowned and muttered, "Are you trying to cheat me?"

Yan Jiru: “…” It’s just twelve dollars, is it that important to him?

But now he really can't come up with the money.

Yan Jiru was about to ask the boss where this place was when he heard a voice from the side: "Boss, let me pay for him."

Yan Yuchuan: "Dad, why are you silent? Where are you? Why don't you send me your location? Sorry, it seems you haven't registered on WeChat."

Yan Jiru snorted coldly, still thinking about the ridicule he had just received, and said, "No need, a classmate paid for me!"

Yan Yuchuan: “?”

Yan Jiru: "Hang up, hang up."

Yan Yuchuan: “…”

Yan Jiru hung up the phone without any courtesy. Before he could thank the kind classmate, he was stunned when he saw the other person's face clearly.

It's nothing, this face is too familiar, and it's too similar to the face he has been thinking about day and night. If it weren't for the gender and age difference, he really would have mistaken her.

Qi Nian just noticed the awkward situation of the handsome uncle in front of the fried rice stall. For some reason, he felt familiar with him and simply walked over to help him out.

As a result, after he paid, he turned around and found that the handsome uncle was staring at his face. Qi Nian felt a little uncomfortable: "Uncle, your fried rice."

Yan Jiru came back to his senses and saw Qi Nian frowning. He realized that he had lost his composure and wiped his eyes quickly, saying embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, you really look too much like me... an old friend."

Qi Nian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately became alert. From this speech, could it be that he had been scammed?

But judging from Yan Jiru's attire, he didn't think he was a liar.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen her for twenty years, and I don't know how she's doing." Yan Jiru's past memories were triggered, and his expression was a little melancholy.

Qi Nian pursed his lips, still feeling that the other party didn't seem like a liar. He didn't know what to say, but he didn't leave.

"She took me to eat fried rice on the roadside before. The first time I ate it, I thought it was unclean, and she scolded me, saying that I had a bad temper." Yan Jiru couldn't help laughing when he said this.

Qi Nian: “…” I scold you and you still laugh.

Yan Jiru talked for a long time, then came to his senses and found that Qi Nian had not left. He was stunned for a moment: "Thank you for listening to me."

"But you and she have completely different personalities. If I say so much, she will definitely get impatient."

Qi Nian couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you seen each other for twenty years?"

Yan Jiru nodded and sighed, "Yes, it's been twenty years."

Qi Nian: "But... you seem to want to see her very much."

A person's eyes cannot hide too strong emotions, let alone Yan Jiru who didn't want to hide them.

Yan Jiru suddenly smiled and said, "My little classmate, you are still too young to understand."

Qi Nian was not convinced. Why was there age discrimination? "Why don't I understand?"

Strangely enough, Qi Nian seldom talked so much to a stranger, but he couldn't help but say a few more words to this handsome uncle whom he met for the first time.

Yan Jiru was silent for a moment, then said, "She doesn't want to see me."

Qi Nian: “…”Okay, I really don’t understand.

Qi Nian: "But it's been twenty years. Maybe she wants to see you again."

Yes, it has been twenty years. No matter what the other party thinks now, no matter how angry you are, you should calm down...

Yan Jiru suddenly laughed, feeling enlightened: "My dear classmate, you are right. It has been 20 years. Why should I still dwell on the past? I should go find her... Thank you for your enlightenment."

Qi Nian smiled and said, "You're welcome."
