How to Tame a God and the Lucky Beasts-Chapter 137 - 138: Livestream

Chapter 137: Chapter 138: Livestream
"It seems our Xiaoqi also has quite a potential!"
Zhang He teased.
Ruan Xingwen held back a laugh and retorted:
"What potential? The potential of a little lecher?"
After saying that, he shook his head helplessly.
"Alright, we’re almost set up here. Xingxing, how are you preparing?"
Ruan Xingwen took a deep breath, "Phew~"
Then, with a determined look, he said, "Sister He, I’m ready!"
Although not a newcomer making his debut for the first time, Ruan Xingwen’s previous bad luck meant he never had a proper debut signing ceremony. At that time, his agency, Tianyu Entertainment, only posted a celebratory Weibo on the company’s official blog, and that was it.
Now, having such a grand scale again for a signing, even with Ruan Xingwen’s strong heart, there’s still some sense of nervousness.
Zhang He examined Ruan Xingwen’s face and thought that his natural look was quite nice, not needing further embellishment.
So she just called over the makeup artist to tidy up Ruan Xingwen’s eyebrows, and that was it.
"Xiao Xu, it’s almost time. How’s the live stream room doing?" Zhang He called out to the young man operating the computer behind a pile of live stream equipment.
So he’s Xiao Xu, huh? Seems normal enough. So what exactly caused his drastic change in character? According to Zhang He, Xiao Xu’s previous Weibo style was brief and straightforward.
Ruan Xingwen scrutinized Xiao Xu, thinking this to himself.
Indeed, other people’s gossip is more distracting and relaxing.
No wonder young people nowadays love surfing Weibo and such.
"It’s still not the scheduled live time yet, but the live stream room already has over two hundred thousand viewers, and it’s still trending upwards." Xiao Xu faithfully ed the current status of the live stream room.
Zhang He frowned and thought for a moment, then said to another young man beside Xiao Xu:
"Xiao Liu, talk to the staff at Feiyu Live and ask them to beef up the maintenance work in the live stream room. I estimate that when it’s the scheduled live time, the traffic will definitely increase, and suddenly. To prevent the live stream room from crashing, it’s better to prepare early for this kind of situation."
Xiao Liu nodded in agreement and immediately got in touch with the staff at Feiyu Live, who readily agreed.
But actually, the Feiyu staff were a bit dismissive of Xiao Liu’s suggestion. They thought that for the announcement of a minor celebrity, even riding on the coattails of Yu Xiaozhe, there wouldn’t be enough people tuning in to crash the live stream room.
However, adhering to the principle that the customer is king, and considering that if this collaboration went well, they could potentially partner again with Yu Xiaozhe’s studio in the future, the Feiyu staff reinforced the protection strength of the live stream room as per Zhang He’s request.
This also made them feel incredibly thankful later on—if they hadn’t listened to Zhang He’s advice, they would have not only lost audience traffic but also missed the chance to collaborate again with Yu Xiaozhe’s studio.
11:08 AM
Ruan Xingwen sat on the small sofa prepared in front of the camera. Right in front of him were the newly set up live stream equipment, which appeared to be used for the first time from their pristine condition.
"Xingxing, just stick to what we planned to say earlier, as it’s all true, just be honest, no need to be nervous."
Zhang He reminded him uneasily:
"Additionally, you can see the audience’s comments on the screen in front of you. If there are questions you think you can answer, just answer honestly. If you don’t want to answer, just pretend you didn’t see them. As for those negative comments, just let them fart... pretend you didn’t see them."
Luckily, she corrected herself in time; otherwise, her ladylike image would have been ruined.
Little did they know that in the eyes of everyone present, Zhang He’s image was never associated with ladylike qualities.
"Alright, Sister He, I got it."
Then he glanced at the time, took a deep breath: "Sister, let’s start."
11:11 AM
Ruan Xingwen’s live stream feed was connected on time.
Facing the camera and streaming for the first time was somewhat uncomfortable.
Ruan Xingwen waved at the camera and smiled to greet the audience in the live stream room: "Hi, everyone. I’m Ruan Xingwen."
Suddenly, the amount of scrolling comments in the live stream room surged.
Mostly "Aahh creatures."
[Aahhhhh, this guy’s looks are absolutely perfect!]
[Yes, yes! He totally blew me away!]
[Aren’t you curious about what kind of relationship he and Yu Xiaozhe have, given the rumors?]
[Brother or Sister above, if you think there’s no connection, why would Yu Xiaozhe’s studio prepare this live stream for him? They’re definitely covering something up here!]
[Some people are way too pessimistic and judgmental. Nothing’s been said, yet you’re already jumping to conclusions...]
[So, handsome guy, what exactly is your relationship with Yu Xiaozhe?]
The comments were rolling so fast that Ruan Xingwen didn’t catch many of them, but he just managed to see the last question.
This comment’s question was easy to answer, without much thought, Ruan Xingwen immediately said:
"Oh, I’m actually a new artist signed by Sister He, and as for my relationship with Mr. Yu, well, it’s definitely just boss and employee."
Seeing him answer the question so calmly and quickly, most people felt he must be telling the truth; otherwise, he wouldn’t look so natural.
But there are always some very suspicious and pessimistic people who wouldn’t give up questioning.
[Then what’s with the photo? Whose child is it? What’s your actual relationship with Yu Xiaozhe? Don’t say it’s just superior and subordinate, who are you fooling!]
Ruan Xingwen read this comment aloud, animatedly, as if he were the one making the remarks.
"Pfft, the child isn’t mine, and it’s certainly not Mr. Yu’s either."
[Then what’s actually going on?]
This comment was much more gentle in tone.
"I used to live in the same neighborhood as Grandpa Yu, and I guess that tabloid entertainment has probably exposed most of my affairs."
[Indeed, you’re quite a fascinating individual.]
"Heh~ not really. As he said, my luck before was indeed... hard to describe. The specific encounters you’ve probably seen."
Ruan Xingwen’s demeanor didn’t change at all when mentioning the hardships of the past; he remained calm.
"As for that salesgirl, I thank her here; I’m grateful for her candid remarks."
"During the lottery, I was bound by management contracts, so I couldn’t take photos with the public casually. I also need to apologize to the young lady for refusing at that time, sorry."
The comments were full of envy towards that young lady.
Noticing the topic drifting away, Ruan Xingwen timely brought it back on track.
"Alright, alright, back to the main point. I live close to Grandpa Yu, and I quite like taking walks in the park near the neighborhood; that’s how I got to know Grandpa Yu while he played chess in the park."
[Boo hoo hoo, I also want to go chat with grandpas and grandmas in the square of my neighborhood! What if their grandson is a domineering CEO!]
[Not all grandpas and grandmas have a grandson like Yu Xiaozhe, for example, my grandma.../exhausted]
