Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 92 - 90: Preparing to Start an Influencer Company
Li Qinqin was feeling helpless. Perhaps because the car had stopped, she felt a bit hot and unzipped her sun protection jacket, revealing the sports top underneath.
Comments:
"Damn, this car has a major flaw, the streamer is too hot to handle it." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Hahaha... really? You’re actually feeling hot!"
"You say you’re proper and won’t get hot like other girls, but your body is pretty honest."
"It’s clear that the big shot doesn’t lack women, even if you strip down, it’s useless. Better leave quickly and avoid embarrassment."
...
Li Qinqin noticed the comments were getting weird, and quickly explained, "Ah, don’t talk nonsense, guys. I’m really hot. It’s a convertible, no air conditioning. You dog men, can’t you watch your words?"
Yang Chen, eager to go home and sleep, said, "Junior sister, can you get out and chat with them? I want to go home and sleep."
Li Qinqin, feeling awkward, hurriedly nodded, got out of the car.
Yang Chen moved to the driver’s seat, started the car, and drove to the Lake Heart Island villa.
Comments:
"Wow, this environment is amazing. A standalone villa on Lake Heart Island, it’s like a paradise."
"I just looked it up, the Lake Heart Island is Villa No. 1, sold last month for 450 million."
"Who is this rich boy anyway? Driving a car worth more than 40 million, living in a villa over 400 million. Tsk tsk tsk... My whole family working since the monkey age couldn’t make that much money."
"Now everyone can understand why the streamer won’t give out her WeChat? A rich second generation at this level couldn’t possibly be interested in a small streamer."
...
Li Qinqin looked on as the Bugatti’s lights went out, then said with grievance, "What an unreasonable guy, can’t even help a bit. Hmph!"
Comments:
"Hahaha... a big boss of this level, how could he break principles for a small streamer like you?"
"Dog woman, does it feel awful getting repeatedly brushed off?"
"Forget it, stop looking, a boss like that, no matter how long you stare, he’s not yours. Look at us? Say ’good brother,’ and we’ll actually give you gifts."
...
Li Qinqin retracted her gaze and said to her fans, "Rare chance to be in such a high-end villa area, I’ll show you around. Click like, give me some little hearts."
At that moment, a patrolling security guard approached.
"What are you doing?" the guard asked.
Li Qinqin quickly replied, "I’m a substitute driver, just dropped off a guest at Villa No. 1."
Guard: "Oh, then you’d better leave quickly."
Li Qinqin: "Sure, sure. I’ll leave in a bit."
Guard: "No, you must leave immediately. If the owners find out unauthorized people got in, they’ll definitely complain about us. This is a high-end villa area, the owners value their privacy highly, won’t tolerate outsiders coming in. Leave quickly, not a second longer."
Li Qinqin wanted to plead with the security uncle, but he wouldn’t listen, stepping forward to push her to leave.
No choice, she had to leave the villa area quickly.
Outside the community, Li Qinqin complained to her fans, "Hmph! What’s so impressive, just a security guard? If they were the owners here, they wouldn’t come down to earth."
Comments:
"Hahaha... dog woman, don’t underestimate security guards. Even ordinary community guards are arrogant, let alone those in high-end villa areas."
"High-end community guards are so arrogant, better work hard and earn money, or even the guards will look down on you."
"This place doesn’t belong to you, just leave. Staying longer is just asking for trouble."
...
Li Qinqin snorted, said, "Nothing impressive, not letting me stay, I’m not keen on going in anyway."
At this moment, her other phone rang.
She quickly answered, it was a call from union operations.
"Li Qinqin, the union has decided to give you one last chance. A PK with Mei Xiaona has been scheduled for eleven o’clock. As long as you win two rounds, the union will renew your contract. If you can’t complete the task, the contract will not be renewed when it expires next week," the operator said.
"Oh, got it." Li Qinqin said disappointedly.
Li Qinqin signed a two-year contract with the union.
In these two years, the union did spend a lot of money to promote her.
Li Qinqin also returned some money to the union through gifts and advertising.
But this was far from covering the union’s investment.
The union had talked to her before, suggesting she only take a base salary of 2,000 yuan, and all live broadcast revenue goes to the union.
Only after the union recouped their investment in her, would they give her a share according to the contract.
Of course, Li Qinqin wouldn’t agree.
If the union loses money, they let the streamer take a base salary, but if the union makes big money, would they give more share to the streamer?
Of course not!
Who does business guaranteeing a profit anyway?
Such a small loss can’t be borne; why continue the union?
Because both sides couldn’t come to an agreement, the contract will expire next week, and the relationship is becoming increasingly tense.
Now the union has arranged for her to PK against Mei Xiaona, a big streamer in the same union with 10 million followers on Douyin, requiring her to win two matches to renew her contract, which essentially means they are giving up on her.
How can a small streamer with over 800,000 followers PK against a big streamer with 10 million followers?
The two are not at the same level at all; there is simply no comparison.
However, Li Qinqin still takes this PK very seriously.
Even if she can’t win, it’s still a good opportunity to increase her popularity.
Li Qinqin hurriedly caught a cab home, quickly did her hair and makeup, and then entered the live room to warm up for the eleven o’clock stream.
Perhaps because of the hot bath, Yang Chen’s metabolism sped up, and he felt much more awake now.
It was still early, and Yang Chen couldn’t fall asleep, so he took out his phone to browse Douyin.
Just after swiping a few videos, Li Qinqin’s live stream appeared.
"Wow! Is this the legendary big data? How could this be pushed to me?" Yang Chen marveled.
Sometimes he even wondered if his phone was being monitored by Douyin.
He said he wanted to buy rice, and swiping Douyin landed on a live stream selling rice.
A while back, he thought about buying chocolate for Zhao Feifei, but just stood in front of the supermarket shelf for a moment and didn’t buy it because it was too expensive, yet went home and swiped onto a live stream selling chocolate on Douyin.
No matter how impressive big data is, can it really be this impressive?
Since it appeared, it must be fate.
Yang Chen clicked into Li Qinqin’s live stream.
Li Qinqin: "Brothers, at eleven o’clock I have to PK against Mei Xiaona. If I don’t win two matches, my contract with the union will expire next week, and they won’t renew it. So, I’m begging you all to help me win two matches."
Barrage:
"Wow, PK against Mei Xiaona? Are you kidding? She has over ten million followers; how can you compete with her?"
"Is this the task assigned by your union? Isn’t this obviously setting you up?"
"If it were me, I’d just tell the union leader directly, if you don’t want to renew, that’s fine, but why use this method to humiliate people."
"Be tougher, Little Qinqin, just leave."
...
Li Qinqin pouted and said: "How should I put it? I have over 800,000 followers now. Honestly, I don’t want to give up this path. I never thought of getting super rich; as long as I can support myself, it’s enough. If the union doesn’t renew my contract, I’ll just fight alone. I know I can’t PK against her, but this is my chance to make a mark. So, I still have to take it seriously. I hope everyone can help, even if I lose in the end, I’ll accept it."
Yang Chen suddenly had an idea.
Internet celebrity economy is booming; some big influencers earn more than second or third-tier celebrities.
On Douyin, the top influencers have luxury houses and cars, but that popular female celebrity Yang Mouyue can’t even afford a house.
Since influencers make so much money, why not start an influencer company?
Now many celebrities don’t act anymore; they engage in live-stream selling every day.
This shows the industry still has potential.
Yang Chen made up his mind; later, he would watch Li Qinqin get defeated, and after her contract expired with the union, he would discuss a partnership with her.
Soon, it was eleven o’clock.
The union operator privately messaged Li Qinqin to request connecting with Mei Xiaona.
Li Qinqin complied, but after applying three times, each was rejected.
Meanwhile, Mei Xiaona told her fans: "What the heck? An 800,000 follower streamer wants to PK me? Brothers, she must be underestimating you all."
Barrage:
"Wow! Are small streamers nowadays this brave? 800,000 followers dare to PK against a 10 million follower big streamer?"
"Little Na, accept her request, teach her a lesson!"
"Yes! Connect and show her what it means to be a streamer."
...
Mei Xiaona giggled and said: "Isn’t this a bit too much? Wouldn’t it be too bullying?"
Li Qinqin sent another connection request at this point.
Mei Xiaona: "She sure is persistent! Brothers, I’ll accept it, but don’t go too hard on her, or people might think we’re bullying the little guy."
With that, she accepted the request.
Li Qinqin, a bit frustrated, asked: "Why didn’t you accept earlier?"
Mei Xiaona sneered and replied: "Do I have to accept just because you sent it? If I PK, it should be with a 10 million follower streamer. Winning against someone with 800,000 followers makes people say I’m bullying the small, and losing would be embarrassing. So why should I accept?"
This is obviously the union’s task; why act innocent.
Li Qinqin impatiently said: "Alright, alright, let’s hurry and start."
Mei Xiaona still had a slightly mocking tone and said: "Haha... Not many followers, but quite a temper. What are we competing in? Talent show?"
Li Qinqin’s mindset had collapsed, and she said recklessly: "I have no talent. Can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t even brag. I can only sit here. Let’s start."
The PK immediately began...
