Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 804 Mr. Li, she bullied me
Seeing Yan Zhusheng sticking her butt out at him, Li Luo slapped her butt in annoyance: "Stop fooling around, hurry up and pack your things and go home."

"I'm not kidding, I'm serious." Yan Zhusheng remained obediently lying on the desk, turning her head to look at Li Luo. "Don't you like this?"

It's impossible for me to say I don't like it.

Yan Zhusheng stood with her long legs straight, but her upper body was bent over the desk. When she turned her head to look at him, her entire figure and tension were full of allure.

Any normal man would find it hard to resist such a wonderful scene.

However, now is clearly not the right time.

Before Li Luo could respond again, the sound of a doorknob being turned came from the doorway of the live broadcast room.

After trying to open the door twice and finding it wouldn't budge, the person outside immediately started banging on the door. Then, Ying Chanxi's puzzled voice came through: "Why are you locking the door? The live stream is over, come out now!"

Li Luo shrugged and chuckled at Yan Zhusheng, then walked straight towards the door. As he passed Yan Zhusheng, he didn't forget to pat her pert bottom again: "Let's go home."

"Oh." Yan Zhusheng stood up with some disappointment and obediently followed Li Luo toward the door.

When Li Luo opened the door to the live broadcast room, Ying Chanxi immediately poked his head in, looking around suspiciously. Even after confirming that Yan Zhusheng was following behind, the suspicion on his face did not subside.

She guessed that Yan Zhusheng must have secretly done something naughty with Li Luo after the live stream ended.

However, given the short time all that had passed, it was unlikely that he would have done anything particularly outrageous… Thinking this, Ying Chanxi subconsciously glanced down at Li Luo's crotch, then immediately looked away, letting out a snort and saying:
"Don't rush home yet, let's have another short debriefing meeting."

Unfortunately, Ying Chanxi probably never imagined that Yan Zhusheng would be so bold as to crawl under the desk during a live broadcast.

Without giving it any further thought, Ying Chanxi beckoned the two of them to walk toward her office.

Inside sat an employee from the Ministry of Commerce, who currently also serves as Ying Chanxi's assistant, helping her with some daily chores.

Upon seeing Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng walk in, the assistant immediately stood up to greet them.

Ying Chanxi waved for her to sit down, then beckoned Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng to the computer on the desk and said to them, "The live stream went quite well today."

"The peak number of viewers during the live stream once reached 80,000, but most of the time it remained around 10,000 to 20,000."

"This data is already very impressive."

"However, Douyin has not yet enabled the tipping function. I feel that the income from live streaming will not be small once it is enabled in the future."

"Sister really knows how to exploit people, she's already thinking about tipping revenue." Yan Zhusheng glanced at the various backend live streaming data displayed on the computer screen, and then said, "If the tipping function is enabled in the future, you won't make me live stream every day to make money for the company, will you?"

"Say less," Ying Chanxi rolled her eyes at her, then waved to her assistant, indicating, "You can go back to work now."

After the assistant left the office, Ying Chanxi glared at Yan Zhusheng and whispered a reminder: "Try not to call me 'sister' in the company. Don't let the employees know about our relationship."

"Okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently. "Then I'll call you President Ying from now on."

"Alright then...it's better than 'older sister'." Ying Chanxi reluctantly agreed, then pondered the address in her mind several times, becoming more and more satisfied. "Then call me that?"

"President Li." Yan Zhusheng ignored her, turned to look at Li Luo, and reached out to hug Li Luo's arm. "She bullied me, you should do something about her."

Li Luo smiled helplessly, while Ying Chanxi glared at her irritably and then pouted.

"Let's try to maintain a frequency of one live stream every weekend from now on," Ying Chanxi said, bringing the topic back on track. "We need to cultivate the fans' habits so that the number of viewers will be more stable."

"It's not that I really intend to make money through live streaming donations, but rather that I see this channel as a window for future promotion and display."

"Letting everyone know about you in advance will make it easier to promote and publicize things like albums in the future."

"Including anything Li Luo needs to promote, he can make his voice heard through you."

"This is our own primary channel for communication, allowing us to directly reach our fans and audience without going through external channels."

Li Luo listened to Ying Chanxi's logical analysis and felt quite pleased.

Yan Zhusheng didn't understand this kind of thing, so she could only listen obediently, nodding occasionally to show that she understood.

After saying all this, Ying Chanxi crossed her arms, squinted her eyes, and her tone suddenly became a little chilly.

"Now that we've covered the main points, it's time to talk about some of the details."

"During the live stream just now, someone suddenly claimed that he and Li Luo were in a romantic relationship."

"We didn't approve this step during our meeting this afternoon, did we?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhusheng immediately felt guilty and avoided Ying Chanxi's direct gaze, quietly hiding behind Li Luo, only peeking out her head.

“You also said in the meeting that I could make some changes,” Yan Zhusheng retorted softly. “You didn’t say that I had to do everything in the meeting, and I broadcast everything that was mentioned in the meeting.”

"You call this 'appropriate performance'?" Ying Chanxi said irritably. "If handled poorly, it could lead to rumors! Someone might have already edited the video and released it!"

"That's all fake." Yan Zhusheng blinked, her mind a little confused. "No, it's actually real... no, the fans definitely know it's fake..."

"Ahem... never mind, just remember not to do it next time." Li Luo smoothed things over from the side. "Zhu Sheng's performance this time was quite good, but the same trick should definitely not be used repeatedly."

"Okay." Yan Zhusheng nodded obediently, "Just this once."

"Hmph!" Ying Chanxi gave a barely satisfied hum, letting her off the hook. "Then let's go home."

……

When they got home from the company and were in the elevator, Ying Chanxi hugged Li Luo's other arm, turned to him and said, "I think your live-streaming of writing is quite interesting. Do you want to consider it?"

"Once we move to the villa, we'll install a live streaming setup in your study as well."

"Then you'll be able to write and stream at the same time."

"It's not that it's impossible," Li Luo glanced at her, "but aren't you afraid of including Sister Yu in the film?"

“Oh right…” Ying Chanxi pouted, “Then it would be better if your desks were further apart.”

“That might be a bit difficult… Didn’t she specifically order two long desks?” Li Luo said with a chuckle. “One of them is the writing desk that she and I share.”

"What about the other one?" Yan Zhusheng asked curiously from the other end.

"It's for the two of you," Li Luo said. "But you don't use the computer much, so it'll be placed at the other end of the study."

"Then why don't you two each use one?" Ying Chanxi snorted.

"Sister is so mean," Yan Zhusheng said, peeking out. "Senior sister definitely wants to sit at the same table as Li Luo, and you're trying to break them up." "Shut up," Ying Chanxi said irritably. "All you do is try to sabotage me and go against me."

The two sisters bicker all the time, and Li Luo has gotten used to it now, even enjoying their little squabbles.

After returning home, Li Luo continued writing.

Ying Chanxi wandered around the house, taking stock of the furniture and luggage she would take to the villa.

When it was time for bed that night, Ying Chanxi suggested, "Let's go to the villa again when we have some free time and see what we need to take with us."

"Okay." Li Luo nodded in agreement. "Then let's go next weekend. Anyway, there are still two weeks, so there's no rush."

"Most of the furniture is new, so there's no need to move the furniture from here over."

"Just bring the clothes and other things from here, nothing else."

……

After entering December, everything went very smoothly, whether in life, studies, or career.

After the filming of "The Beginning" officially started, Li Luo would visit the set whenever he had free time to check on the filming progress.

Director Wang Jun and Li Luo are already very familiar with each other, the female lead Ruan Lin is also an old friend, and the male lead is also signed to Li Luo's Reign Culture, so there are no major problems in directing them.

After about a week of adjustment, the entire crew was running smoothly and efficiently under Wang Jun's guidance.

On the other hand, Yuan Wanqing's joining Douyin has indeed caused a sensation on the internet.

The number of new users directly and indirectly attracted to Douyin is countless.

Li Luo previously thought that Douyin was a bit too extravagant to spend 30 to 40 million yuan, but now it seems that the results are indeed outstanding.

Yan Zhusheng and Li Luo also benefited from this, and their fan counts gradually exceeded four million.

Yuan Wanqing, on the other hand, had already surpassed 20 million followers long ago, and is still climbing towards 30 million at a rapid pace, feeling that she will break through that number within this year.

Aside from these two major events, in the realm of online novels, both Li Luo's "Da Qian Patrol Night Division" and Xu Youyu's "Gu Dao Chang Qing" have entered the final stages of completion and will likely be finished in about three or four months.

Among them, the average subscription of "The Great Qian Night Patrol" has been steadily increasing, making it one of the few super hits that Qidian has successfully broken into the mainstream this year.

It has remained number one on both the monthly ticket chart and the bestseller chart since the day it was first released and started charging a fee.

Judging from this, it will probably stay on the charts for a full year.

Meanwhile, Xu Youyu has reached the most crucial stage in selecting the top experts.

Editor Qianzhou has already reported the early-to-bed association president Gao.

With the average subscription rate of her book gradually climbing to around 25,000, coupled with Li Luo's previous efforts to curry favor with other editors and her good relationship with the editor-in-chief, Xu Youyu's chances of winning the "Top Author" award this time are practically guaranteed.

We'll just have to wait for the results to be announced at this year's annual meeting.

Besides.

The financial aid for impoverished students donated by Li Luo to Qianjiang University through Reigniting Culture has also had teachers assigned to each stage of the process.

As recommended by Xu Rongsheng, Jian Chun successfully became one of the three teachers who held the final approval authority.

Zhao Rongjun's team has completed the software design and is now in contact with the teachers in the Information Technology Office. They are currently testing the software and expect it to be completed before the next semester.

Xu Yinghuan's Douyin account is thriving.

Li Luo's two roommates' self-media plans have also developed quite well, contrary to Li Luo's expectations.

Since Cheng Xin accepted Li Luo's advice, he really put his mind to it, focusing on current international hot news, sorting out the content, summarizing and analyzing it, and then making it into videos and releasing them.

Unfortunately, Douyin doesn't allow long videos yet, and his videos are often ten or twenty minutes long, so on Li Luo's recommendation, he posted them on Bilibili, and the response was quite good.

One of his videos happened to touch on a recent hot news topic, and it quickly surpassed one million views, bringing him tens of thousands of followers.

This allowed Cheng Xin to quickly reap the benefits, and he has become increasingly involved in it recently, spending almost all his time outside of class making videos.

As for Wen Zexuan, they were at a loss.

Li Luo's suggestion sounds quite feasible, but filming the date and uploading it to Douyin requires meeting certain conditions.

The simplest thing is, you have to get the girl to agree first, right?

But if you're just aiming to build a following and aren't really dating, why would a girl want to make videos with you?
This left Wen Zexuan completely embarrassed.

However, Li Luo quickly gave him new advice, telling him not to actually film the real dating process for his fans.

This kind of thing is definitely done by talking to the girl first, and then acting out a rough script.

Otherwise, there are too many uncontrollable factors, and it's easy to get yourself into trouble.

After being enlightened, Wen Zexuan was about to give up, since picking up girls was still more fun.

But after discovering that Cheng Xin's Bilibili account was doing quite well, he suddenly became unwilling to be outdone and began looking for potential partners.

To Li Luo's surprise, the final business partner Wen Zexuan found was someone he knew.

It was Jiang Lai, who had previously dated Wen Zexuan, and who was also Ying Chanxi's college roommate.

This greatly shocked Li Luo.

After learning more, he found out that Jiang Lai was also trying to operate a Douyin account and wanted to become a beauty blogger, but her traffic was limited.

After hearing Wen Zexuan's idea, the two sides hit it off immediately and decided to give it a try.

The first video was a great success, and the collaboration between the two was officially established.

Seeing this, Li Luo asked Ying Chanxi to talk to them and offered a good contract proposal, saying that he could provide them with advertising contacts.

So after some negotiations and discussions, the group that rekindled the culture grew stronger and stronger.

Meanwhile, time was gradually approaching Li Luo's birthday.
