A live stream that dramatically transformed a depressed schoolgirl shocked netizens across the count

The comment section fell silent for half a second again.

Immediately afterwards, everyone went crazy, and the whole internet was abuzz with laughter, as if people had smelled a shark with blood on its skin.

[Holy crap? Hongyuan Building Materials?! Isn't that Shen Qingci's dad?! Her own father is watching her livestream?!]

[Oh no, oh no, oh no! My father-in-law is on an incognito visit! Brother Lang, you'd better get your legs off and mind your appearance!!]

[Dad!! If I call you Dad, will you dare answer?! Do you think I'm up to the task?! I'm a graduate from a top-tier university with a master's degree and a yearly salary of 985 yuan. The only downside is that I'm a little poor!]

[Move aside, upstairs! I'm still a PhD student at Tsinghua University. Dad, please wait two more years. I'll bring my research funding and move in with you!]

[Dad! I own a house and a car with no loans! I don't smoke, drink, or play video games! I'm 1.85 meters tall and have eight-pack abs!]

[Hahaha! Hundreds of thousands of people lined up for job interviews in front of their fathers-in-law! This scene is even more intense than the fall recruitment season! It's absolutely sweltering, bro!]

【Dear Father-in-law! Although I don't have Lang Ge's ability to jump from 60 meters, I can cook, mop the floor, wash dishes, and I can even teach Duo Duo how to play games!】

【Qingci, marry me! Dad, I'll serve you tea and water and take care of you for the rest of my life!】

[Boss Shen's inner monologue: I'm just here to see my daughter. You bunch of wolves, line up!]

This must be the biggest "virtual father-in-law recognition" event on the entire internet, hahaha! It's enough to make my CPU burn out!

Another blue verified comment popped up.

[Shen Jianguo (V) of Hongyuan Building Materials: Everyone in line, shut up. My daughter's affairs are none of your business. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters.]

The live stream chat instantly reached a new level of excitement.

The phrase "It's none of your business" is incredibly damaging! Dad, you might as well weld the door shut!

[Full-mark translation for reading comprehension: Someone's already in charge; you bunch of backup options can just leave.]

[Brother Lang, did you see that?! You've got to catch this incredible windfall! Your father-in-law has acknowledged you!!!]

[I bet five cents that Boss Shen is still watching the replay of Chen Lang rescuing people on the cliff in the background on his phone, wiping away tears while watching the live stream.]

Chen Lang leaned back in his chair, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the overwhelming barrage of "recognizing the father-in-law" comments on the floating sphere.

Hundreds of thousands of people were scrambling there to recommend themselves, report their academic qualifications, and show off their property ownership certificates.

Shen Jianguo's statement, "It's not your business," directly broke the backbone of hundreds of thousands of potential candidates.

Chen Lang simply couldn't hold back anymore.

He turned his head, his shoulders trembled slightly, and the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.

Shen Qingci, who was beside him, noticed his unusual behavior.

She turned her head, her clear eyes, which had just regained their starlight, looking at her with a hint of subtle doubt.

"What are you laughing at?"

Her voice was very soft, with a slight hoarseness characteristic of someone who had just cried.

Chen Lang turned his head to the side, his eyebrows curving into an exceptionally irritating arc beneath his tousled hair.

"It's nothing serious." He picked up the juice glass on the table and shook it, his tone full of undisguised schadenfreude.

"It was your dad who just infiltrated the live stream and revealed his identity in front of hundreds of thousands of people."

Shen Qingci was slightly taken aback, her eyes still unfocused.

Chen Lang couldn't suppress the smile on his face any longer. He rested his chin on one hand, leaned forward slightly, and closed the distance between them.

Those deep eyes stared straight at Shen Qingci, their depths filled with barely suppressed laughter and a hint of barely perceptible aggression.

"Then, out of these hundreds of thousands of people, probably more than half lined up in the comments section, frantically calling him 'Dad'."

"As a result, Boss Shen waved his hand and said, 'It's not your business,' and immediately held a round of selections for his son-in-law, only to reject them all on the spot."

Chen Lang sighed, shook his head, and put on a sorrowful expression.

"You know, other girls have to carefully select their partners. But you're different. Your own father sifted through hundreds of thousands of resumes for you and didn't like a single one."

He paused, his gaze slowly sweeping over Shen Qingci's face, his voice lowered, yet possessing a fatal magnetism.

"But that makes sense. Setting the bar at 'jumping from a height of 60 meters' makes it very difficult for anyone to meet the standard."

Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment.

She blinked, and something quietly surfaced beneath that cool exterior.

At a terrifying speed, the tips of her fair ears were stained with a layer of blood-red stains, which burned down her earlobes all the way to her slender neck.

She abruptly turned her head, reached out and picked up the juice glass, bringing it to her lips as if she were drinking something.

But the transparent rim of the cup couldn't hide her eyelashes trembling violently with shame and indignation, nor could it hide the uncontrollable upward curve of her lips as she desperately bit her lower lip.

"...Nonsense."

The sound was muffled, coming from behind the cup, so faint it was almost blown away by the night breeze.

Chen Lang looked at her bright red ear tips, raised an eyebrow, and wisely refrained from pursuing the matter further.

He leaned back in his chair and looked up at the Milky Way above the Cangshan Mountain.

The roguish smile at the corner of his mouth slowly unfolded under the starlight.

Chen Lang nudged her gently with his elbow and nodded his chin toward the floating sphere.

Shen Qingci turned her head away.

This time, she didn't hide from the camera like a wounded hedgehog.

She held the warm juice cup in both hands, her eyes reflecting the starry sky.

His lips parted slightly, his voice was very soft, yet every word was incredibly clear.

"Thank you... for your company these past few days."

As soon as these words were uttered, the live stream chat exploded with a devastating flood of comments.

The barrage of comments sent by hundreds of thousands of people simultaneously completely flooded the screen, and the server's background alarms went off in a frenzy.

On the trending topics lists of major platforms, within just three minutes, the same term swept into the top three spots with overwhelming force.

#Shen Qingci smiled, the pure love god of war has achieved his perfect ending#

#The Most Beautiful Redemption Under the Starry Sky in Dali, Chen Lang's Deification#

The third term caused the entire internet to burst into laughter, and the discussion exploded exponentially.

#Shen Jianguo's live-streamed search for a son-in-law ends in the complete defeat of hundreds of thousands of viewers#

The top comment under the entry is a photoshopped image created by a netizen.

In the picture, Shen Jianguo's verified blue V profile picture has been photoshopped to show him as a father-in-law sitting in a grand chair, wearing sunglasses, and holding a huge sign that reads:

"Anyone under 1.85 meters tall, who hasn't jumped off a 60-meter cliff, can't make Michelin-starred angelica chicken soup, or can't afford to crash a multi-million dollar truck into a mountain, get out of here."

The second most popular comment was even more scathing and hurtful.

"Everyone, you can leave now. Boss Shen's selection criteria for tonight are very clear. Considering all the above abnormal conditions, there is only one candidate left, and he is already on paid leave."

The bottom line is filled with replies about breaking through defenses:

"This isn't a son-in-law recruitment drive, folks! This government job is a complete trap! We don't even qualify to apply!"

"I recommend labor arbitration."

"Arbitration my ass! They've risked their lives for this; what makes you think you can compare?"

Chen Lang stretched as he looked at the barrage of comments on the floating sphere that was almost crashing the server.

He snapped his long, slender fingers in mid-air.

"Alright, we've had enough gossip, we've had our fill of PDA, and we've acknowledged our fathers-in-law."

He had a nonchalant smile on his lips, and his tone was lazy yet crisp.

"Single people, go wash up and go to bed."

"Tomorrow I'll show you some different scenery in Dali. End of broadcast."

Before the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream could cry out in despair and beg him to stay, the indicator light on the floating ball went out.

The screen went black instantly.

The entire internet could only frantically spam the black screen with comments like "short and weak" and "Brother Lang, don't go."

Chen Lang casually retrieved the floating ball and turned to look at Shen Qingci beside him.

The night breeze was slightly cool.

The girl held the juice cup, her eyes, once lifeless, now completely filled with the vibrant energy of everyday life.

Meanwhile, in downtown Dali.

Inside a top-tier suite of a five-star hotel.

Wang Rui, the operations director of Xingyao Interactive Entertainment, who flew to Dali overnight, casually tossed his custom-made suit jacket onto a leather sofa.

He stared intently at Chen Lang's black screen live stream on the tablet, his eyes behind his glasses glued to the data curve that soared into the sky.

"Director, this kid's traffic is terrifying."

The accompanying data manager wiped the sweat from his brow.

"The moment the live stream ended, the number of viewers online exceeded 500,000! He occupied four of the top ten trending topics!"

"This is absolutely a phenomenal IP across the entire internet this year!"

"The greater the traffic, the higher the monetization value."

Wang Rui picked up the glass of red wine on the table and took a small sip.

"Is the performance-based agreement ready?"

"Ready, top-of-the-line S-class specifications."

The supervisor hesitated.

"Judging from Chen Lang's behavior, he's an extremely uncontrollable troublemaker. What if he's unyielding and refuses to be offered amnesty?"

Wang Rui twirled the wine glass in his hand.

"In this industry, no one can resist capital."

He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the night view of Dali.

"If there is, it's only because you've never been hurt."

Wang Rui's gaze fell upon the majestic outline of the Cangshan Mountains in the night.

"Is 'Young Master Long,' the big-name influencer with millions in outdoor sports cars under our company, currently in Dali?"

The supervisor nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! Young Master Long's supercar club is having an event recently, which happens to be held in Dali. The pre-event promotion has been going on for a week, and the fans' expectations are extremely high."

"very good."

A calculating smile curled at the corner of Wang Rui's lips.

"Tomorrow, we'll talk to Chen Lang according to the rules, and then we'll sign a contract and make money together."

"If he refuses to communicate..."

Wang Rui tilted his head back and drank the red wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Then contact Young Master Long and, if necessary, have him go over and take control of the situation."

The glass clattered heavily onto the table.

"Does a beat-up modified truck even dare to compete for attention in front of a top-tier influencer with tens of millions of followers?"
