This director is vindictive.

The live stream of the 814 Welfare Festival continued amidst a lively atmosphere.

Chen Mo didn't play anything too flashy tonight.

Just one word: "Praise!"

Praise yourself, praise your opponents, praise your enemies, praise your relatives and friends.

In short, it's all about talking big, chatting with netizens, and giving out perks. Apart from its unprecedented scale, it's almost no different from ordinary live streams.

As time went by, the live broadcast gradually came to an end.

Chen Mo glanced at the time; to be honest, he was also a little dazed.

Before we knew it, more than three hours had passed.

"Time flies!" Chen Mo suddenly exclaimed.

The viewers in the live stream were immediately jolted awake.

"Holy crap, that fast?"

"You wouldn't believe it until you hear it. It feels like we didn't do anything fancy tonight, but how did time fly by? It's already been more than three hours."

"Yeah, time just flies by when you're praising someone!"

"So, the welfare festival is ending soon?"

"No way! I only got a few perks, I only managed to squeeze out a tiny bit of profit, and now you're telling me it's over? Don't go! Let's fight until dawn!"

In an instant, countless netizens were wailing.

In fact, the benefits are one aspect, but another aspect is that such a large number of people, such a huge scale, and such an unprecedented event can be said to be unique.

So, when it was suddenly announced that it was ending, everyone found it hard to accept.

Although everyone already knew beforehand that this year would most likely be the last one.

But even at this moment, I am still extremely reluctant to part.

"I know everyone is reluctant to see me go, so before we part, please praise me!" Chen Motian said shamelessly.

Although everyone was quite reluctant to part with Chen Mo, it was a bit too much for Chen Mo to shamelessly ask everyone to praise him!

The live chat exploded immediately.

"No one can, or at least shouldn't, be this shameless!"

"Chen Gou, where's your shame? You just praised your own harem and now you want us to praise you?"

"Have some shame! You need praise? Aren't you enjoying being surrounded by female celebrities every day?"

"What am I praising you for? That your time management is even better than Wei Xiaobao's?"

"I'll go first: Mr. Chen's hairline is indeed excellent; you can tell at a glance that he hasn't been exploited by capital!"

"You're like my husky? Your house-destroying abilities are top-notch! I'm backing out now!"

"Are you sure you want us to 'praise' you? Whose face was turned green from all the insults in the live chat just now?"

Chen Mo looked at the barrage of sarcastic and sarcastic comments from netizens, but instead of getting angry, he grinned cheekily, revealing an infuriating expression: "Oh my god—no way? No way? Are there really people these days who would turn down money? They wouldn't even take a million-dollar cash prize? Tsk tsk tsk, this level of dedication, I, Chen Mo, am completely impressed!"

"You guys are awesome, you're so high and mighty. As expected of an era where everyone is a billionaire, a million dollars is nothing to you millionaires!"

As he spoke, he deliberately shook his head and swayed his body, his face practically screaming "sarcastic."

The next second, his expression suddenly changed, and he pulled out his ultimate trump card: "Originally, I was planning to go all out one last time and randomly select a hundred millionaires on the spot—"

He deliberately drew out his words and gestured with his fingers to indicate the number, "One hundred! One million in cash for each person! Transferred on the spot! But judging from this, it seems like no one is really interested in the money?"

"Okay! I'll save that money! Thanks everyone for helping me save money!"

As he spoke, he even cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards the camera!

Sure enough, the world isn't like the world on TikTok where everyone is a billionaire, and not everyone is like Jack Ma, who isn't interested in money!

The next moment, the live chat exploded, with countless netizens instantly changing their tune: "Dad! You're my biological father, even though we're not from the same father! Hit me! Hit me!"

"Who just cursed Chen Gou? Drag him out and execute him! This is clearly my long-lost godfather!"

"Mr. Chen's receding hairline is the radiance of wisdom! A million in cash is the best hair regrowth agent!"

"I admit I spoke a bit too loudly just now, so I'll perform a sliding knee slide for you now!"

"What Wei Xiaobao? This is clearly Song Jiang, the Timely Rain of Our Time! The way he throws money around is so cool!"

The barrage of comments was exploding at a rate of tens of thousands per second, the screen filled with nothing but praise:

"Chen Mo's good looks are the result of trading emotional intelligence? Wrong! They're a free gift with a top-up!"

"Praise! You absolutely have to praise him! Even Mr. Chen's breathing is shaped like his love for you!"

"Does anyone in the family understand this? Suddenly, a sponsor appeared while watching a live stream!"

Some people even started writing short essays on the spot:

"I was immediately struck by Mr. Chen's talent when I first met him—for example, he could portray 'shamelessness' in such a refreshing and unconventional way!"

"He retired from the entertainment industry not because he had run out of talent, but because he was afraid that other celebrities wouldn't be able to survive!"

Then the screen was filled with compliments, those long strings of praise were all sincere, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

The only problem is that this year's netizens are using some strange words.

For example: "Mr. Chen's eyes—even when he looks at a dog, they're full of affection! Last time during the live stream, he glanced at my Golden Retriever, and now that silly dog ​​sits in front of the TV every day waiting for the replay!"

Chen Mo was speechless. This guy has gone too far!
Although Chen Mo said that his stunning looks are indeed universally appealing, they are not to the point of being indiscriminate in their appeal, right?

"I suggest checking if Chen Mo is Nuwa's graduation project! With that look, that talent, that speed at which he spends money—did he max out all the VIP features when creating babies?"

"Praise his acting skills? My grandma even shed tears watching the scene where he cried in 'Dying to Survive'! Praise his singing? 'The Lone Warrior' is still my nephew's alarm clock! Praise his character? Last time he was trending on social media for being attacked by haters, he turned around and donated a primary school to the other party's hometown—this kind of magnanimity is something even Qin Shi Huang couldn't win by touching a telephone pole!"

Chen Mo was completely bewildered: ? ? ? ? ?

No way, when the hell did I ever act in "Dying to Survive"? I was the director, okay?

And what's that, I didn't sing "The Lone Warrior" either!

It seems the allure of becoming a millionaire is still strong!
They're blatantly lying through their teeth.

"Mr. Chen's retirement is definitely the biggest loss to the Chinese music scene! Without him writing songs, I'd have to use children's songs to fill in the gaps when I'm DJing in nightclubs!"

"Brother, you've gone too far. I, Chen Mo, am the director, the director, the director. I'll say it three times because it's important. You can praise me all you want, but don't go overboard!" Chen Mo finally couldn't help but speak up. These people were really going too far, praising him to the point that he was a little dumbfounded.

He can make up anything that didn't happen. But clearly, at this point, he was no longer important.

"Chen Mo, shut up. What does it have to do with you if we praise you?"

"Yeah, were we praising you? We were praising the million-dollar prize, okay?"

"Don't flatter yourself. Right now, praising you is no different than praising a dog!"

Immediately, netizens jumped on the bandwagon and started making the meme:
"The mathematics world has lost a genius! Chen Mo's formula remains unsolved to this day—'Good looks + talent = unlimited cheat codes'!"

"A biological miracle! How did he manage to possess both a charmingly roguish quality and an innocent, boyish voice at the same time? I suggest a biopsy!"

Even more outrageous was the appearance of an "academic" comment:
"Scientific evidence shows that Chen Mo's smile can stimulate dopamine secretion—it is recommended that he be included in medical insurance as an alternative to antidepressants." Even his haters have begun to "betray" him.
"I used to criticize him for being a time management master, but now I've discovered that this guy can actually handle eight movies, three albums, and live streams every day at the same time—with that kind of energy, I suggest sending him to study perpetual motion machines!"

The barrage of comments gradually evolved into a large-scale wishing event:
"Please, Mr. Chen, publish a book called 'The Art of Praising People.' I'll buy ten copies to give to my supervisor as a birthday gift!"

"I want a Chen Mo-brand praise robot to listen to for half an hour every morning to prevent emo!"

Finally, it even alarmed the official account, who then joined in the meme:
@FirefighterBlueV: "Comrade Chen Mo deserves praise for his fire prevention awareness—every live stream gets netizens fired up, but he never messes up!"

The entire screen was flooded with compliments until Chen Mo interrupted with a laugh: "Stop! If you keep praising me like this, I'll float out of the atmosphere—now we'll do the prize draw!"

"100 million in cash, 100 prizes of 1 million each. The bad news is, there are a lot of people in the live stream right now, so the odds of winning are questionable. The good news is, personal income tax is covered, and if I say I'm a millionaire, I mean I'm a millionaire!"

The screen immediately filled with comments: "Chen Mo is so generous!"

Isn't that grand?

In the past, other lotteries, especially those giving away cars, would always find a reason, saying that giving away something worth more than 50,000 was too troublesome, so they would usually just draw the right to use something.

However, Chen Mo never played any tricks when it came to the lottery.

It is indeed a bit of a hassle, but it's not unsolvable.

He has always felt that holding a lottery and then making the winner pay for their own taxes is utterly dishonest.

You've already won such a big prize, can't you just solve the tax problem once and for all?
Therefore, Chen Mo's lottery winnings are always exactly what he says he will receive, and he will cover any additional taxes and fees.

This is why he can master this free economy, while others who try to learn it end up getting lost in it.

"3.2.1 Link up... oops, I mean, let's start the giveaway!"

Soon, countless netizens began to participate in the lottery.

One hundred million in cash may sound like a lot, but in reality, it's nothing compared to the 10 mobile phones or numerous cars that were given away.

In fact, this cash was the least valuable item in this live-streamed giveaway.

But sometimes, cash is just so tempting!
Moreover, Chen Mo himself paid for the cash out of his own pocket.

Soon, a dense list of winners' nicknames and the last four digits of their phone numbers appeared on the screen.

Chen Mo never plays games in this regard.

"Ahhhhh! It's me, it's me, hahaha! Godfather above! Thank you!"

Someone with sharp eyes noticed their nickname and the last four digits of their phone number and immediately went crazy.

"I saw it too, hahaha, Chen Mo, YYDS!"

"Ahhh! I won!!! I love Chen Mo, Daddy!!"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! It really is me! Brother with the last four digits of my number 6638, pinch me! Is this a dream?"

"Hilarious! The ID that was cursing Chen the most just now, 'Specialist in Criticizing Capitalists,' has now quickly changed its ID to 'Chen's Lackey'!"

"Help! My mom asked me why I'm kneeling and crying! I said my godfather sent me money!"

"Everyone upstairs, make way! This African guy never even gets the guaranteed pull in gacha games, but today Mr. Chen miraculously changed my fate! I suggest Chen Mo start a metaphysics class!"

"Now the pressure is on those netizens who didn't win the prize—who just said they were going to send Chen Mo razor blades? The razor blade factory's stock must hit the daily limit today!" (The screen instantly filled with comments like "Ordered razor blades, hoping godfather will check them")
At the same time, Chen Mo's welfare festival, which directly gave away 100 millionaires, also became a trending topic.

There's nothing you can do; no matter how many gifts or perks you give, they're still just products.

But the term "millionaire" is completely different.

[Weibo Trending Topic] #ChenMoSpends100MillionYuanToGive1Millionaires#

#Chen Mo spends 100 million to create 1 millionaires#
The ultimate surprise of the 814 Welfare Festival! At the end of his live stream, Chen Mo suddenly announced a draw to give away 100 million RMB in cash to 100 lucky viewers, with all personal income tax covered. The winners list was published in real-time. Netizens commented: "One second I was cursing Chen Mo, the next I was calling him my godfather!"

Popular comments in the comment section:
@EatingGossipFirstLine: "Just screenshotted the winners list, my hand is shaking so much it's blurry! I suggest Chen Mo change careers and become a God of Wealth!"

@Anti-pretentious expert: "Hats deleted posts overnight: What's a million dollars more appealing than posts criticizing Chen Mo?"

@FinancialObserver: "A post-tax donation of 1 million yuan is the ceiling for charity in the Chinese entertainment industry."

@Observer: "That's the power of money. The 100 million yuan in cash that Chen Mo gave away is really insignificant compared to the more than 10 billion yuan in welfare benefits during the entire welfare festival. However, the fact that it was real cash, one million yuan at a time, made him spend it in the same way as more than 10 billion yuan!"

Industry insiders remarked, "Chen Mo turned live-streaming giveaways into a Nobel Prize-worthy gesture—while others give away phones, he directly gives away financial freedom."

Chen Mo himself didn't expect that the 100 million yuan in cash benefits were really not enough compared to the welfare festival.

During this period, the total value of the benefits sponsored by businesses exceeded 10 billion.

For example, the phones given away when the show started cost several hundred million yuan.

However, it didn't generate as much buzz, but the 100 million yuan spent on it caused a stir across the entire internet.

Of course, some people made sarcastic remarks, but they were immediately countered by netizens.

"Mr. Chen is so generous! I suggest next time you draw a 'million-dollar debt' experience card, so we can all taste what it's like to be in debt."

A netizen quipped: "Don't worry, your Alipay bill has already given you a preview."

"One hundred millionaires? My math is bad, but that's just one hundred million. I suggest Mr. Chen change his name to 'Chen with a Small Goal'."

Someone immediately retorted: "This is a scene of sour grapes jumping up and down! Your bank balance isn't even enough to cover a fraction of the interest on your 'small goal' (a Chinese idiom for a small financial goal)!"

"Heh, are all the winners shills? I've been participating in giveaways for three years in a row, and I haven't even won a pack of tissues."

A grumpy guy went online: "Don't blame your bad luck on superstition! I suggest restarting!"

"What kind of skill is it to throw money around? If you're so capable, throw away property deeds! (doge)"

A fan replied instantly: "Haha, the person upstairs doesn't even have internet yet, but they already gave out property certificates last year. Property certificate.JPG, that's what the guy from last year drew!"

What's most interesting is that sometimes money really can turn haters into fans.

A long-time hater with the ID "Chen Mo Bi Fan Che" (meaning "Chen Mo will definitely fail") was suddenly drawn to win a million-yuan cash prize, and immediately deleted his posts and changed his ID at lightning speed.

New ID: "Chen's Rebellious Son is Here," with the comment: "I was young and ignorant when I scolded you before, but now I just want to ask, Dad, should I use Alipay or a bank card to transfer money?" (End of Chapter)
