Chapter 84: Battle for No. 1
From beginning to end, Zhao Muyan never asked for Du Ran 's opinion. When she heard him say this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Du Ran's face, but she quickly covered it up.
Du Ran was unwilling to be ignored like this, so he took a step forward and took Zhao Muyan's arm, "Sister Nanzhu, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I know the dim sum at the tea restaurant on the 16th floor here is very good. Do you want to go and try some together?"
This time Qin Qi did not act on his own, but turned around to look at Kong Nanzhu, waiting for her opinion.
Even if there were outsiders present, he wanted to have the opportunity to spend more time with Kong Nanzhu.
Kong Nanzhu declined. "I have to start a live broadcast at nine o'clock. There are two promotions tonight. You should go and enjoy your dinner quickly. The view of the night view here is very good."
Zhao Muyan expressed his regret, Du Ran clung to him like a little bird, and the two walked towards the restaurant together. Their seats were indeed at the same table as Qin Qi and Kong Nanzhu, and Du Ran happily looked at the dazzling neon lights outside the window, with a happy look on his face.
"You shouldn't have held my hand just now."
Zhao Muyan's cold words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Du Ran's enthusiasm.
This was the date she had been looking forward to for a long time. Zhao Muyan hadn't had time to accompany her for nearly two months.
Du Ranqiang smiled, "Teacher Qin knew about our relationship long ago. Miss Kong and Lin Yuan are so familiar with each other, I don't think it's necessary to hide it from them..."
"This is outside." Zhao Muyan took off his glasses and took the menu from the waiter without even raising his eyelids. "Where's your sense of propriety?"
Du Ran's eyes dimmed. Zhao Muyan always reminded her of his identity mercilessly. He was a passionate person behind closed doors, but as soon as he went out, he became a superior as cold as an iceberg.
"I understand." Du Ran comforted himself and also tested Zhao Muyan, "After you get divorced next month, we can be together openly."
Hearing this, Zhao Muyan finally raised his head and looked at her. He seemed to find what she said a little funny, but also felt that laughing was a bit abrupt, so his expression became a little funny.
Du Ran's heart fell into a deep well of ice three feet thick.
After all, she had fantasies that she shouldn't have.
From the day Du Ran learned that Zhao Muyan wanted to agree to a divorce, her suppressed desires were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, no longer bound by reason.
Today she finally saw the reality clearly.
Zhao Muyan pulled up an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth, " Your sister seems to be a bit restless recently."
Du Ran was stunned, "When have you seen her?"
"Two days ago, when I went to Linyuan Company , I happened to see the two of them hugging each other."
The color drained away from Du Ran's face in an instant.
Zhao Muyan warned, "I don't care about any conflicts between you two sisters, but remember, don't involve me and Lin Yuan. I suspect she wants to instigate the relationship between me and Lin Yuan."
Du Ran clenched the knife and fork in his hand. "There is no conflict between us. Xiaoying has no reason to do this. When did you start to care about your brother so much?"
Zhao Muyan looked up at her, as if he had heard another funny joke. "Then why did you snatch the role from her? Wasn't it because you were afraid that your resources would be replaced by her?"
Du Ran looked at the man in front of her in astonishment. She never expected that even Zhao Muyan thought that she had prevented the company from packaging Du Ying for her debut because she was greedy for profit.
Everyone who knew about this called her a heartless person for even blocking her own sister's path.
But Du Ran did this just to protect Du Ying so that her sister could have more brighter paths to choose from. She herself had suffered so much, and she didn't want Du Ying to be tainted by this bloodless circle again.
When she wanted to replace Du Ying's role, Zhao Muyan agreed without hesitation without asking any questions.
She thought that Zhao Muyan was her brother, so he could understand her thoughts. Now it seems that she was just being too sentimental.
Zhao Muyan looked at Du Ran's strange expression and reminded him in a businesslike manner: "Even if she really has feelings for Lin Yuan, someone like her can never enter our Zhao family. You'd better persuade her as soon as possible."
Du Ran slammed the knife in his hand on the table with a "bang", stood up, and in front of Zhao Muyan's astonished gaze, poured the red wine in the glass directly on his face.
"Is Song Linyuan's last name Zhao? He doesn't want to be included in your family tree at all. The threshold of your Zhao family is really high. You can cross it by yourself."
Du Ran left immediately, leaving Zhao Muyan furious, covered in red wine, and the table in a mess.
After Kong Nanzhu returned to the apartment, she washed, removed her makeup, and turned on the live broadcast as usual. Tonight she would broadcast her skin care process live and also promote and try out two new products.
Everything was going smoothly until a stranger named "Piao" entered the live broadcast room and gave gifts worth 100,000 yuan in a row.
Affected by this wave of popularity, Kong Nanzhu's live broadcast room was directly pushed to the top of the recommendation list, and the number of online viewers increased exponentially.
It was another out-of-control incident. Fortunately, Kong Nanzhu already had experience in dealing with it. After completing the promotion trial during the peak traffic period, she immediately sent a message to the operator on duty, asking if it was the studio's own operation.
The operation manager was also confused, and then sent a series of ecstatic expressions.
[You made a lot of money, sister! His reward is as much as the promotion fee for our two products this quarter! ]
Kong Nanzhu looked at the avatar ranked first on the list. It was an ordinary landscape photo that did not contain any personal information of the user.
"Hey, someone has taken your number one spot."
While playing Kong Nanzhu's live broadcast, Song Linyuan was playing Lego in his office. Du Ying watched the situation in the live broadcast room and teased with a gloating look.
Song Linyuan threw away the half-assembled parts in his hand and asked, "Who?"
He has always occupied the number one position in Kong Nanzhu's live broadcast room. Kong Nanzhu has never encouraged fans to give gifts in the live broadcast room, so for such a long time, he has been hanging on the high position relying on the tens of thousands of yuan he gave when he first met Kong Nanzhu.
"Fuck, where the hell did this idiot come from? He stole my seat."
Song Linyuan got excited and spent 100,000 in one breath.
Kong Nanzhu in front of the camera: "..."
Song Linyuan's avatar returned to the top of the list.
This time, Kong Nanzhu didn't think twice and spoke directly, "Boss Chuang, do you have money to burn? What gift do you have for me?"
As a result, before the comments of [Chuang Zong Awesome] in the live broadcast room were finished, that 'Piao' sent 99 floating flower carriages in a row and instantly regained the top spot.
The comment section of the live broadcast room was completely crazy.
Passersby who had just entered the live broadcast room were confused. As soon as they came in, they witnessed the rich people spending money and were very excited. In addition to watching the fun, the fans also came up with many strange discussions.
[I discovered that our sister has a gold-attracting physique]
[He has successfully attracted your sister's attention]
[Is this a studio hype trick? No, I hate this the most]
In order to prevent things from evolving in a weirder direction, Kong Nanzhu simply turned off the reward function in the live broadcast room.
After the studio was officially established, she made adjustments to her account and handed over all the backend data to operations management. In order to make a profit, she would occasionally connect with other anchors to PK and canvass for votes. Some fans were not used to her changes and left quietly, but most people chose to stay and continue to support her career.
It’s just that what happened tonight was a bit sudden. If it was just a rich man who came to spend money, it would be fine, but why did Song Linyuan join in the commotion!
Kong Nanzhu opened Piao's private message chat box: "Hello, are you there?"
The other party replied almost immediately: Yes.
Kong Nanzhu: "No need to give so many gifts. I am a beauty live broadcaster, only doing makeup tutorials and product recommendations. I haven't started competing with others yet, so I don't need to give so many gifts."
Since Piao is number one on the list, his message has the highest weight and is directly pinned to the most conspicuous position in the comment section.
Piao: Why can’t I send gifts anymore?
Kong Nanzhu: "...I temporarily turned off the reward function because my friend was jokingly competing with you in giving gifts."
Piao: So he can’t send it now, right?
Kong Nanzhu thought that this person seemed to be arriving in the Internet world on his first day.
Kong Nanzhu patiently explained: "Yes, now no one can send gifts. If you like my live broadcast, just follow me and support me every day. You don't need to spend so much money."
Piao: Okay.
On the other side, Song Linyuan was furious because he could not return to the top position on the list.
"This guy did this on purpose, didn't he? He just wanted to be number one on the list, and he even asked me if I could give him a pass. He's definitely here to steal my spot. It's fucking disgusting. Damn it!"
Du Ying watched him as he swept the Lego blocks that he had worked so hard to build to the ground, leaving the broken pieces all over the floor.
"If you have money but nowhere to spend it, you can come to my live broadcast room and give it to me. I don't mind getting more benefits from you in this way."
Song Linyuan jumped onto the windowsill frantically. Not only did he behave erratically, but he also looked at Du Ying with a strange look in his eyes. "Are you worth it? You are willing to pay for me, so why should I waste money on you?"
