Chapter 241: The Weight of a Single Sentence
Chapter 241: The Weight of a Single Sentence
Dong Muchuan stayed behind with Su Ping and Ye Zhou, learning from them with wide eyes.
Meanwhile, Dong Muchun had already gotten to work.
On her way back, she had obtained all the information about the girl from Su Ping's mouth.
After all, it was a matter that Young Master Su had entrusted to her, so she couldn't help but take it seriously.
Despite his initial nonchalance, Young Master Su himself didn't seem to care much about it.
However, the promotion of the Dream Heart was indeed a top priority.
Aside from reputation, the Dream Heart needed these promotional efforts to break into the high-end market.
Most importantly, Dong Muchun had ambition.
The Ping Yun Corporation, of course, would continue its lower-level business of selling alchemical potions, while the higher-end products like the Dream Heart, despite their low production and debatable profitability, served a crucial function.
They could create an ecosystem of connections and relationships.
Through this, Dong Muchun could get to know many influential people.
After all, only those with means could afford such a product, and using the Dream Heart as an opportunity could significantly expand one's network.
There was no need to elaborate on the Dong family's heyday, as they were an exceptional Mirror Sage Clan.
But after so many years, with the family's decline and the Dragon Nation's suppression of the clan, they no longer held influence in Jianghai Province.
Now, Dong Muchun had an opportunity to achieve what the Dong family couldn't.
Once the Dream Heart, this groundbreaking product, gained traction, it would sweep across the nation.
Whether it could expand overseas depended on the product's strength, not just its own merits.
With these thoughts, Dong Muchun glanced at her phone again.
The person on the screen had a pleasant appearance, but it was not particularly sweet or cute. Instead, she exuded a pure and gentle aura.
Of course, her temperament was average, and even someone like Dong Muchun could tell at a glance that the girl's confidence did not match her looks.
Thus, she lacked the genuine elegance of a true lady.
Hmm, just like Dong Muchun herself.
Beauty and appearance were the most useless things in the world of beastmasters.
So, it was what it was.
After flipping through the information, Dong Muchun expressed her thoughts.
She no longer had any worries, as it was clear that Young Master Su had only mentioned the girl due to their school connection.
With this in mind, Dong Muchun searched again and scanned the girl's live stream before making a call:
"Find someone for me. It's Yin Yin, a graduate of the sixth Beastmaster School in Linzhou, currently a live streamer on the Webeye Live Platform. I want to see her in my office before 3 PM this afternoon."
"Yes..."
...
In a room themed in blue and white, Yin Yin faced the live-streaming camera, answering some questions from the chat:
"The streamer doesn't have a boyfriend, she's a homebody who streams for fun during her free time."
"Yeah, no one paid attention to me in school."
"Hmm, what about the streamer's talent? Does singing count? If it doesn't scare people to death, haha..."
"..."
Looking at the few fleeting messages in the chat, Yin Yin felt incredibly disappointed, but she couldn't show any other expressions, maintaining her online persona.
However, it was only after leaving the campus that Yin Yin truly realized that she had been the moon among the stars in school.
But after leaving campus and shedding the halo of being a school flower, she, from an ordinary family, found it incredibly challenging to survive in this harsh society.
Unless she compromised her principles.
Even if she did, the heights she could reach were not impressive.
What she dreamed of was a higher realm.
So, she understood that maintaining her principles at this time might give her a glimmer of hope. If she devalued herself, she would indeed become worthless.
But in this situation, how could she rise without compromising?
This thought left her in despair.
She wasn't unaware of the hints from the greasy and sleazy agents at the live-streaming company, who suggested she sign a contract.
Only by signing could she truly stand out in the streaming world, where success often depended on the platform's promotion. Even with good looks, one might not succeed without the platform's support.
Moreover, in the streaming world, appearance was merely the most basic requirement.
As for streaming popular games, she had no experience and wouldn't dare to play them, as this community wouldn't go easy on her just because of her looks. They would criticize without hesitation.
She couldn't bring herself to do something as bold as streaming in a revealing outfit.
Furthermore, more high-end knowledge, even in pet cultivation, was beyond her expertise.
The confusion she felt after leaving school was unprecedented.
At this moment, even the future of her class monitor, Zhou Shuchen, whom she hadn't paid much attention to before, made her envious.
Huo Wang Corporation was one of the top companies in Jianghai Province.
Getting into such a company, even with a few million in loans for a pet, meant a promising future.
As for the other person, she didn't think about it anymore. After all, they were too far apart.
However, her not thinking about it didn't mean someone else wouldn't remind her.
At this moment, a message slowly scrolled across the chat:
"Streamer, since you're a graduate of Linzhou Sixth Middle School, are you from the same batch as Su Ping? Do you know him?"
Yin Yin was taken aback. Before she could respond, another message appeared:
"Huh? Can we type 'Su Ping' now? Previously, many entertainment platforms didn't allow discussions about him, tsk tsk."
"Understandable, since this person forced a domestic top-tier celebrity into a relationship! Otherwise, he would've been many people's new husband."
"Hahaha, I guess that's..."
As she watched the chat stream, with only a handful of people chatting, Yin Yin lightly bit her lip, but didn't say anything on the topic.
Su Ping's achievements were indeed beyond her wildest dreams.
However, she didn't have any regrets either.
Regret what? During her school days, she didn't have the foresight to recognize talent like Li Shu and seize the opportunity to get close to him. Who could have predicted that? Moreover, given her understanding of Su Ping, even if she had tried to get close to him, it would have been useless, and she might have even been disliked by him.
Just as she was thinking of changing the topic, suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Yin Yin was startled.
She lived alone.
She couldn't imagine who would visit her at this time.
After saying goodbye to the viewers in front of the camera, Yin Yin opened the door and was even more surprised by what she saw.
A woman with a professional demeanor, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a short, sleek hairstyle, revealed a calm yet smiling face.
However, whether it was the limited-edition mechanical wristwatch on her wrist or the obviously tailored luxury suit she was wearing, her background seemed extraordinary.
"Hello, who are you?"
"Are you Miss Yin Yin?"
"Yes, it's me..."
"Hello, I'm Luo Yunxia, the assistant of Miss Dong Muyun, the General Manager of Ping Yun Corporation. Miss Dong would like to discuss a private collaboration with you. Do you have time to visit our company?"
Ping Yun Corporation?
Yin Yin's mind went blank for a moment. The name sounded familiar, but she couldn't recall where she had heard it before.
However, she was very familiar with the other name.
Tianyun Corporation?
That was one of the top companies in the entire Linzhou Province.
Moreover, she had heard that the Webeye Live Platform, which was backed by Mirror Void Entertainment, belonged to Tianyun Corporation.
The company's chairman was looking for her? Was this a joke?
After Yin Yin realized this, her first thought was that this woman must be from a scam group. However, the woman in front of her had already guessed her thoughts and smiled:
"Miss Yin, you can turn off your live stream first. I will prove it to you later."
Even the viewers in the live stream knew about this? Yin Yin remained vigilant and became even more suspicious: "Just tell me directly. If there's something, the viewers in the live stream will also know about it."
The woman smiled slightly: "Here's my ID. You can search for it online..."
Three minutes later, Yin Yin returned to the camera.
In the few minutes she was gone, the number of viewers, which was already in the single digits, had disappeared, leaving only a few."
However, Yin Yin still spoke to the camera: "Everyone, I have something to attend to and will have to end the live stream early. See you all tomorrow."
She decisively ended the live stream and followed the assistant named Luo out the door: "Miss Luo, may I ask what Miss Dong is looking for me about?"
After searching online for information about Ping Yun Corporation and reviewing the documents provided by the woman in front of her, Yin Yin decided to trust her.
At the same time, she became even more suspicious.
What could this woman want from her? Assistant Luo smiled slightly: "The chairman mentioned that she wants to collaborate with you personally. You'll know once you arrive."
The error-free version is available at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar First Release.
Although the car took a winding route out of the central urban area, Yin Yin felt a bit nervous.
However, they soon arrived at a relatively remote location on the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, and after seeing the Ping Yun logo, Yin Yin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing this place, Yin Yin finally remembered where she had heard about Ping Yun Corporation before.
Previously, in the alumni group, Li Shu seemed to have shared this picture.
And it was related to Su Ping?
With doubts in her mind, Yin Yin arrived at the upper floors of the Park Building and followed Luo Yunxia as she knocked on the door and entered the office, which was twice as large as her entire house.
At the same time, she also saw a woman.
The woman was also wearing a tailored suit, with no makeup or decorations on her face, yet she didn't need any adornments. Her appearance was captivating, and her cold and flawless demeanor made Yin Yin's heart skip a beat.
The woman looked up and smiled: "You're here? Please take a seat. I invited you here to ask if you're interested in joining Ping Yun Corporation as a signed employee and taking responsibility for promoting the company's main strategic products."
"Huh?"
Dong Muyun's words left Yin Yin completely stunned.
What was all this about?
"Um, I don't know what I'm supposed to do..."
"Promotional work involves collaborating with the company on various tasks, including but not limited to shooting different types of advertisements, maintaining your physique and appearance, and promoting our new products through live streams..."
Yin Yin blinked: "Um, Miss Dong, I think there's been a mistake. I'm just a small live streamer with a few dozen followers. I..."
Dong Muyun seemed a bit impatient and waved her hand: "Remember this for next time. I don't like being interrupted when I'm talking. As for your fans and followers, you don't need to worry about that. Now, let's talk about the benefits.
The base salary is 50,000 per month, and the commission for shooting an advertisement is about 300,000. Additionally, the company will provide you with promotional resources, live stream gifts, hot traffic, and even the income from private jobs you take on will all belong to you."
"Huh?" Yin Yin widened her eyes.
Dong Muyun glanced at this young girl and took out a draft contract, along with a list of notes, and handed them to Yin Yin: "Here's the contract and the points to note. Please review them carefully."
Yin Yin took the contract and notes with a confused look and, as she read through them, they indeed matched what Dong Muyun had said.
However, Yin Yin still felt a sense of disbelief. She wasn't foolish, and she clearly understood the advantages of the offer she had just heard. For a fresh graduate like her, the treatment was unimaginable.
Under such circumstances, it was like a pie falling from the sky.
"Ms. Dong, I'd like to ask, what exactly is this new product for live streaming?"
"It's a brand-new gaming device. You will be the only live streamer for this game, and note that the contract states that you are not allowed to damage the gaming device. Otherwise, we have the right to dismiss you."
Dong Muyun didn't understand why someone would hesitate when presented with such a fantastic opportunity.
In fact, it was indeed the case. Yin Yin hardly hesitated at all. After reading through the contract, she signed it, feeling as if she were in a dream. Suddenly, she shivered, as if realizing something, and turned to look at Dong Muyun. After a moment's thought, she asked,
"Ms. Dong, I'd like to ask, is it Su Ping...?"
Dong Muyun glanced at her, "Don't overthink it. Even if someone recommended you with a single word, it won't help if you're not qualified."
Yin Yin's spirit was instantly invigorated. She stood up abruptly and bowed to Dong Muyun, who was sitting behind the desk, "Thank you, Ms. Dong, or should I say, Chairman."
Dong Muyun didn't mind the young girl's dramatic reaction. She paused for a moment and said, "Alright, the contract is signed. Go home with Yunxia now. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, come back here. As for the new product, it will take a few more days. But remember, from the moment you join the company, we will start nurturing you. Don't let the company or me down, and even more so, don't let him down."
"Yes, please rest assured."
Yin Yin respectfully left the office, and Assistant Luo was already waiting outside.
Even this assistant, who had been by Dong Muyun's side for several years, couldn't hide a hint of envy in her eyes as she looked at Yin Yin.
Sometimes, having a powerful connection can make things so simple.
That one sentence from the Chairman was worth more than her years of hard work, perhaps even more.
Because she knew about the company's upcoming arrangements and plans.
Advertising, which meant appearing in front of the public, and that too in high-end venues, naturally carried significant implications.
The allocation of resources for live streaming, and most importantly, the billion-dollar new product mentioned by the Chairman, were all beyond her reach. Yet, under the company's welfare, this young girl was allowed to use it in the name of work.
Although it was only borrowing, being able to use it continuously meant that borrowing was as good as owning, and it all depended on a single word from those two.
Moreover, there was the task assigned by the Chairman.
After sending the still-dazed Yin Yin back home, Assistant Luo made a phone call, "Hello, is this Manager Li from Mirror Void Entertainment? I'm Assistant Luo Yunxia, by the Chairman's side. Do you have time to chat? Also, please bring the manager and operations director of the Webeye platform under Mirror Void Entertainment. Yes, this is the Chairman's instruction. In half an hour, at the Tianyun Building's cafe."
At the Tianyun cafe, two people from Mirror Void Entertainment were already waiting.
Although Mirror Void Entertainment was now managed by Dong Muyun, Dong Muyun's position as Chairman remained unshaken.
Few dared to openly defy the Chairman's right-hand person.
Even the branch managers.
"Assistant Luo, you're here. What instructions does the Chairman have for us?"
Manager Li's tone was very respectful.
After taking a sip of coffee, Luo Yunxia said, "On the Webeye Live Platform, there's a streamer named Yin Yin. She's a newcomer that the Chairman is strongly promoting at Ping Yun. Use the platform's resources for this newcomer! Either give her the best recommendation spot, or have a top streamer mentor her. In any case, within a week, this little girl's popularity must reach over a million."
"Hmm?"
The two were stunned, never expecting that the Chairman had sought them out for such a trivial matter.
"Is there something suspicious about this, Assistant Luo?"
"Nothing suspicious. I'm just telling you this because it's related to Ping Yun's upcoming promotional product. However, I also want to inform you that this person was specifically recommended by another shareholder of Ping Yun.
If anyone has any ill intentions, you can tell them directly to investigate Ping Yun's matters and Yin Yin's background."
After speaking, Luo Yunxia put down her coffee and stood up, "Alright, the Chairman has other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave..."
For a moment, only the Mirror Void Entertainment's Manager Li and the live streaming director were left, looking at each other in surprise, still unable to fully process the situation.
After a moment of confusion, they began searching for information about Yin Yin, wondering who she was.
And on that very evening, Yin Yin was astonished to find her live streaming room featured in the top recommendation spot on the Webeye platform.
At the same time, wealthy viewers showered her with generous donations and rankings.
Famous streamers she had once admired played games with her, games she couldn't understand at all. In just one live streaming session, she gained over ten thousand new followers.
All of this, just a few hours ago, was beyond her wildest imagination.
But within just an afternoon, it had become a reality.
What surprised her even more was that in her backend, the platform director, known for his meticulousness, was asking her,
'Are you satisfied with this arrangement?'
'If there's anything you need, just ask him directly.'
At this moment, Yin Yin finally gained a deeper understanding of this world.
She finally understood what that old man meant and the weight of his words.
