Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 28 Did I actually give too much?
Today's live stream went exceptionally smoothly.

Besides Xia Qiyue being a live audience member, the cats participating in the live stream were very active, and their interactions with their owners warmed the hearts of busy workers after a long day.

"Cuteness is justice, and cats are a blessing!"

"See you tomorrow at 6:30! Bye-bye!"

After ending the live stream, Chen Nian let out a sigh of relief, as is her custom.

I have varying degrees of discomfort in my shoulders and throat, especially my throat, which feels like it's on fire.

"Give."

Just then, a glass of water was handed to Chen Nian. As if she had seen a lifeline, Chen Nian took it and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ha! We're saved!"

Chen Nian collapsed contentedly.

Then, when he looked up, he saw Xia Qiyue smiling at him.

"You must be tired from the live stream."

Xia Qiyue stood ramrod straight.

Following the example of the 'celebrity assistant' he had seen during his internship, he crossed his hands in front of him and spoke gently to Chen Nian.

Like a virtuous wife welcoming her husband home after a hard day's work.

She is like a young lady from a prestigious family who, by chance, becomes a maid in another family.

At that moment, Chen Nian suddenly felt that hiring this assistant was absolutely worthwhile!
This has amazing emotional value!

"Thank you."

Chen Nian didn't feel comfortable enjoying this extra service, so she sat up straight and thanked them.

Xia Qiyue's smile became even gentler.

Thanks to Xia Qiyue's thoughtful greetings, Chen Nian was fully rejuvenated from her exhaustion!

He was organizing the replay of today's live stream while asking his assistant questions.

How was my live stream today?

"Very good, but there are a few things to note. Let me tell you."

Under Chen Nian's slightly stunned gaze, Xia Qiyue pulled out a small notebook from somewhere, then pushed up her non-existent glasses and spoke in an extremely professional voice.

"First, your science popularization segment is too rigid. While it may not matter to those who are interested, most people don't want to have to attend a class while watching a live stream. This segment needs to be made more lively."

"Um"

After listening to Xia Qiyue's words, Chen Nian nodded thoughtfully.

He felt the same way.

Especially as the number of viewers in the live stream increases, the dropout rate during the science popularization segment becomes more and more obvious.

Chen Nian made a note of this.

"and then?"

Second, your expression.

"Is there still a problem with your expression?" Chen Nian rubbed her stiff face.

"Of course! Facial expressions also need to be managed."

Xia Qiyue explained earnestly, "You may not have noticed it yourself, but when you got to the second half of your live stream, your expression became somewhat numb."

"Of course, this is a problem that every streamer has."

Chen Nian's face is indeed very stiff now.

He frowned slightly. "Then how do we solve this problem?"

"No need to solve it."

Xia Qiyue crossed her arms and leaned against the table, like a teacher tutoring a student, tapping her fingers on a small notebook.

"You just need to show your most genuine expression."

"For example, when you see a cat, you feel happy, and your eyes become gentle. This is the most genuine expression of emotion."

"Only such emotions can truly move people."

"There's no need to deliberately change anything; just follow your heart and act spontaneously."

"During the second half of your live stream, you were consciously trying to maintain your facial expressions, which made you look stiff. This was an unconscious behavior of yours."

"The most genuine emotions?"

Chen Nian glanced at the group photo on the table, made eye contact with the little Ragdoll cat in the photo, and fond memories flooded his mind. His previously stiff expression immediately relaxed.

"That's it."

Xia Qiyue offered a timely reminder.

"I understand." Chen Nian nodded.

He remembered his current state, relaxed in his chair, and continued to ask questions.

"anything else?"

"Third, and most importantly!"

Xia Qiyue put down her notebook and blinked her big eyes as she looked at Chen Nian.

"Your physical strength."

"Live streaming not only requires mental effort, but also puts a great strain on physical strength!"

“I’ve seen some streamers stand and broadcast live for seven or eight hours straight without sitting down to rest.”

"Therefore, the anchor's stamina must keep up."

"I think you need to work out more. Your performance noticeably declined in the latter half of the live stream." "Work out?"

Chen Nian looked at Xia Qiyue's long, toned, and powerful legs, and then recalled the scene of her carrying a bag of vegetables and Xiao Lan on her shoulder.

Compared to her, Chen Nian suddenly had no reason to refute.

At the same time, Xiaomi's voice rang in Chen Nian's heart.

"This woman is right, meow. Your stamina is indeed much worse than mine, which is something you need to improve, meow. Otherwise, you might not have enough stamina to complete some daily tasks later."

"it is good!"

Since Xiaomi had said so, Chen Nian gritted her teeth and straightened up.

"Practice! Start practicing tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Xia Qiyue nodded with satisfaction.

"Then practice with me tomorrow."

"no problem."

In order to be able to do better live streaming, Chen Nian felt it was time for her to make a change.

Xia Qiyue's suggestions were all very pertinent!
Indeed, those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives, while bystanders see things more clearly; it's always necessary to have someone constantly keeping an eye on you.

"Alright, there aren't any major problems left." Xia Qiyue closed her notebook.

He looked like he could finally leave work.

Her ability to make effective analyses after observations made Chen Nian curious about her previous work.

"What did you do before?"

It was after get off work hours, so Xia Qiyue became much more relaxed.

She snatched Xiao Lan from Chen Nian's arms, then leaned against the desk and spoke slowly.

"What I want to do most is become a travel blogger, and go to all sorts of beautiful places to see different cats and scenery from different regions!"

"Then write down their stories and share them with more people."

"But I have no experience, so I thought I'd go and gain some experience from others first."

"So, right after I graduated, I entered the self-media industry and eventually got the same job as now: a live streaming assistant, and a top streamer!"

"The pace of life there is completely different from here."

"Everyone is scrambling to get it; they're practically risking their lives for the sake of the show!"

Recalling those days, Xia Qiyue's gaze became slightly lost in thought.

"Then why didn't you continue?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

It would have been better if she hadn't asked; once she did, Xia Qiyue's face immediately fell.

"Because that streamer doesn't treat anyone like a human being at all!"

She angrily tugged at the clever hair on Xiao Lan's head.

"You have no idea, she not only ordered me to serve her tea and water, but also made me fan her manually during the hottest part of summer!"

"Most importantly, the salary is incredibly low!"

"Only three thousand yuan a month!"

“I went there to learn a skill, not to be her nanny. They won’t let me have any real involvement in her work.”

"Tell me, who could possibly do this? Seriously!"

Xia Qiyue and Chen Nian were ranting and raving, and by the end, Xia Qiyue's back teeth were clenched tightly.

"It's definitely not human."

Chen Nian was also a little angry after hearing this.

"Turns out I gave too much!"

"?"

As Xia Qiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, Chen Nian felt a chill run down her spine and hurriedly expressed her opinion.

"But don't worry, I'm definitely not that kind of person!"

"I hope so."

Xia Qiyue rolled her eyes at him.

Then I glanced at the time.

"I'm going back now. You can leave Xiao Lan here for now. I think it's more comfortable here with you than with me."

"Of course! Little Blue is my hostage!"

Chen Nian took Xiao Lan and hugged her.

Xia Qiyue proved her professionalism in just one afternoon; such a convenient and suitable assistant can't be let go!

"gone."

"Go to bed early, and don't forget you're supposed to start exercising tomorrow. I'll come and wake you up."

"it is good!"

Chen Nian's number of fans: 17104.

We're still eight cloud cats away from our goal of 100,000!

(I'll bite you, you dog!)
