Huayu: Live a carefree life

Why was Ma Fanshu chosen to host? Because Lu Jie was using public funds to chase after celebrities!

He's a football fan, the kind who simply loves watching football but doesn't idolize any teams. He started watching the Bundesliga and later the Premier League. His favorite team is Manchester United, and his favorite player is Cristiano Ronaldo.

On November 24, 2014, nineteen-year-old Lu Jie was at a crucial stage in starting Lingmeng Mobility, and he was busy every day.

But after dinner, I still made time to turn on the TV as usual and wait for the opening theme of "Football Safety" to start.

Then he met Ma Fanshu. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight, that would be too much of an exaggeration, but I did think that the female host was very pleasing to the eye and had really beautiful legs.

From then on, Lu Jie had another reason to keep watching Natural Feet…

So when the program planners at Weishi mentioned that they needed to find a host for the live broadcast, Lu Jie immediately thought of Ma Fanshu, and then contacted him and sent an invitation.

Fortunately, although Ma Fanshu gained some fans this summer through the World Cup-themed program "Grand Feast," male fans didn't really help increase her popularity...

Although Xiao Ma later hosted the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, he was still a relatively unknown and inexperienced host overall.

Ma Fanshu looks much the same in person as on camera. Today she was dressed casually in a bright green short-sleeved top, khaki high-waisted shorts, and silver sequined stilettos.

She's the kind of beauty that grows on you; at least Lu Jie has been looking at her on screen for so many years and he's gotten tired of it...

She took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Lu Jie to greet him. Her long, dark brown hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, her makeup was exquisite and elegant, and her smile was sweet and charming.

"Hello Mr. Lu, it's an honor to host this live broadcast. Thank you for inviting me!"

Lu Jie did not take advantage of the handshake; he politely parted ways after a brief touch.

"Haha, Mr. Ma, you're too kind. I'm a big fan of yours!"

"Ah...ah?" Ma Fanshu was clearly surprised by Lu Jie's words and was a little confused.

Lu Jie wasn't just talking; he immediately told Xiao Wu to bring over two framed German national team jerseys from the 14 World Cup.

One is a Kroos jersey, and the other is a Klose jersey; both are autographed jerseys he acquired from a proxy buyer.

"I heard you like Kroos, what a coincidence, I like Kroos too~" Lu Jie showed off and then gave Kroos's jersey to Ma Fanshu.

"This Cross is for you."

Ma Fanshu quickly declined, "President Lu, this gift is too valuable, I..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ma, it's not a jersey from the game; I bought it from a proxy buyer."

Lu Jie chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Actually, I really wanted a jersey from the stadium, but I was quite busy during the 14 World Cup."

"Also, Teacher Ma, you can just call me A-Jie. Calling me President Lu is too formal."

Hearing that it was bought from a proxy bidder, Ma Fanshu didn't refuse anymore. As a sports host, this kind of autographed jersey from a proxy bidder is just a regular souvenir for her.

At most, one could say that this young CEO Lu was quite thoughtful in giving gifts, knowing how to cater to his preferences. Thinking of this, Ma Fanshu secretly felt smug, thinking that he was quite charming after all.

She smiled brightly, "Okay, Mr. Lu. Um, A-Jie. Please don't call me Teacher Ma anymore, my friends all call me Fanfan."

"Okay, Fanfan."

…………

At 3:30, the live broadcast started on time, and Ma Fanshu quickly got into work mode.

"Hello, everyone, good afternoon. Welcome to the live broadcast room of 'Someday or One Day'. I am your host, Ma Fanshu."

She followed the script step by step, calmly controlling the pace of the conversation, and her topic transitions were always natural.

After seeing her performance, Lu Jie could only say that this top student from the Communication University of China was quite something; her entry into CCTV was definitely not due to connections or luck alone.

The live stream ended at 4:30 PM, and judging from the data alone, it was a success.

However, Lu Jie was paying attention to the chat area, and he discovered that most of the SP netizens were there because of Ma Fanshu...

Among the main actors, only during the interview with Juliet did the comments section receive praise such as "This girl is quite pretty."

The other three male actors basically received no comments at all; everyone turned their attention to Ma Fanshu's every move.

Earlier, Lu Jie was saying that male fans weren't helpful in increasing Ma Fanshu's popularity, but he was proven wrong. Everyone came to her live stream because of her!

"Xiao Wu, who came up with the idea of ​​live streaming again?" Lu Jie asked his assistant calmly, already realizing that this live stream had been a complete waste.

Xiao Wu flipped through the tablet. "It's Liu Guangqi, the vice president of the planning department."

So it was this scoundrel who suggested it. Very well, Boss Lu will remember this.

"Oh, do you remember how he convinced me to agree to the live stream?"

Xiao Wu recalled for a moment, "Oh? You agreed as soon as he mentioned it, and you were so excited that you asked him to invite Teacher Ma to host the event."

"Oh..." Lu Jie pinched the bridge of his nose. It seemed that the problem wasn't with Liu Guangqi, that scoundrel, but with his own lustful desires...

Ma Fanshu removed his in-ear monitor and microphone, and walked over with a smile. "Ah Jie, the chat room seems quite lively. The response must be pretty good, right?"

"Hehe, yes, the data feedback is pretty good~" Lu Jie laughed awkwardly, "Fanfan, what do you think of Weishi?"

"Uh, do you want to hear the truth?" Ma Fanshu tilted his head playfully.

Lu Jie shrugged. "Fanfan, just say what you want. Accepting criticism helps us improve."

"Hehe, you're quite open-minded. To be honest, the user interface isn't very user-friendly; for example, the chat window is too small."

"Users are using mobile phones to view the chat window, which is so small and the messages scroll so fast that it's hard to see what they're talking about."

Lu Jie gestured for Xiao Wu to take notes, then smiled and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, this is indeed a big problem. I had the same feeling just now."

"Anything else? Fanfan, don't hold back. Just criticize from the user's perspective."

"There is one more thing I'd like to complain about, for example..."

Ma Fanshu didn't hold back with Lu Jie, and harshly criticized all the shortcomings of the Weishi interface that she felt were lacking.

Xiao Wu nodded as he took notes, clearly agreeing with the flaws pointed out by Ma Fanshu.

He, the head of the technical department, who came upon hearing the news, was also wiping his sweat frequently. Although they were all "insignificant" shortcomings, shortcomings are shortcomings.

"Uh... that's about it. They're all minor issues, and these are just my subjective complaints."

Ma Fanshu suddenly realized that he might have been too harsh in his criticism and quickly tried to take it back.

"It's alright, Fanfan." Lu Jie waved his hand dismissively. "The problems you raised are all objectively real and do indeed need to be upgraded and improved."

When Lao He from the technical department saw Lu Jie looking at him, he quickly said, "I understand, Mr. Lu. I'll arrange for overtime work to be done right away and solve it overnight."

Lu Jie pursed his lips. "This week is a two-day weekend, why are we working overtime today, Saturday? Besides, I remember saying more than once that I hate pointless overtime."

"It's not some serious bug, why are we working overtime all night to fix it? Are your people on some kind of slave contract?"

Seeing that Old He's face turned pale and then red as he was being talked to, Lu Jie didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Xiao Wu, send the shortcomings that Teacher Ma pointed out to General Manager He via internal email in a bit."

"Old He, get this sorted out as soon as you start work on Monday. Don't keep making me work overtime; just get it done during normal working hours."

"Then... Fang Jing, I have an idea. You can issue a bounty notice within Tencent and let all employees in the group come up with suggestions and criticisms about Weishi."

"If a flaw is found, Weishi will reward the person with cash ranging from two thousand to ten thousand yuan. If an improvement suggestion is adopted, the reward will range from eight thousand to one hundred thousand yuan."

Fang Jing from the planning department paused for a moment, then agreed with the suggestion. "Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll send the email right away. No one else needs to work overtime; I can handle it myself."

"Who cares about you if you don't stamp it with the official seal of Weishi? What are you thinking? Don't rush, let's talk about it on Monday!" Lu Jie said irritably.

He waved his hand to stop her explanation, "That's it, just get it done as soon as possible."

After handing over the work on Weishi, Lu Jie asked them to wrap up the live broadcast, while he invited Ma Fanshu and the short drama crew to have dinner together.
