711 Why Donât You Work at the Circus?
âIs there a problem with this? The requirements shouldnât be too harsh, right?â Li Lin changed her posture and looked at Lin Yi.
âThis duration requirement is already the lowest in the industry. Many new streamers are 150 or 200 hours.â
âI work as a streamer mainly for my own entertainment. Itâs impossible for me to sit in front of a camera every day,â Lin Yi said.
âAs for the other conditions, theyâre not too harsh. I can reluctantly agree to them.â
âUmâ¦â
This stumped Li Lin.
The most important thing about being a streamer was the length of the live broadcast.
No matter how popular you were, if you did not stream more than a few times a month, you would be forgotten by the audience.
The Internet had no memory.
âIs there no room for discussion regarding the frequency of live streams?â Li Lin probed.
She really didnât want to give up on Lin Yi.
âUnfortunately not, but if nothing goes wrong, I should be streaming for the next half a month to a month. Thatâll convert to more than three hours a day for now, but I canât guarantee my availability in the future.â
âBut our contract fee is five million. Arenât you going to properly consider it?â
Lin Yi shrugged. âDo I look like someone who needs that bit of money?â
âHehâ¦â
Guo Shibo snorted in disdain.
âIf you didnât lack that bit of money, why would you be a streamer?â
âWhat kind of logic is that? Canât I be a streamer if I have money?â Lin Yi said.
âYour face is so funny, yet you arenât working in a circus.â
âYou!â
âWhat?â Lin Yi looked at Li Lin and said, âGet this idiot away from me. Just looking at him is annoying me.â
âWho are you calling an idiot?â
âIâm talking about you. Do I need to spell it out? Youâre really stupid.â
âThereâs really no way to communicate with people like you.â Guo Shibo stood up and looked at Li Lin.
âLetâs go. Weâre done here. Thereâs no need to waste time on him.â
âItâs not over yet. Letâs talk about this later,â Li Lin said awkwardly.
Compared to Lin Yi, Li Lin had a better relationship with Guo Shibo.
Even so, she didnât want to give up on Lin Yi so easily.
Li Lin sincerely believed that as long as Lin Yi continued to stream well, he would definitely become an A-list streamer in the future. Thus, she had to fight for this contract.
âWhatâs there to talk about with him?â Guo Shibo snorted.
âWeâve already discussed the investment. Heâs just a side mission. Since he doesnât respect us, thereâs no need to bother with him.â
âWell â¦â
Li Lin was in a difficult position. She didnât know what to do.
âForget about the investment. It wonât happen,â Lin Yi said as he fiddled with his phone.
âWonât happen?â Guo Shibo looked at Lin Yi coldly.
âWhat do you know? Our investment negotiations have already ended. Moreover, the other party has already agreed to invest 678 million. Who do you think you are? Are you trying to scare me with so much bullsh*t?â
âYes, but the money hasnât reached your account yet. Life is unpredictable, wouldnât you agree?â
âDo you think this is childâs play?â Guo Shibo sneered.
âDo you think a big company like Lingyun Group would so freely go back on their word?â
Guo Shibo shook his head in disdain. âLow-class people like you shouldnât try to figure out the workings of the upper class. This is not something you should try to get involved in.â
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly. âI was right to say that youâre an idiot. Do you really think this is a harmonious society? Do I have to do what I promised you?â
Ring!
Just as Guo Shibo was about to retaliate, Li Linâs phone rang.
âStop arguing. Director Tian is calling.â
âThen quickly answer it.â Guo Shibo controlled his expression and didnât say anything else.
The other party was the vice president of the investment arm of Lingyun Group. She must have something important to say.
âWhy is she calling us? Havenât we already discussed it thoroughly?â
âDid something go wrong? Iâm nearby now. I can answer all your questions.â
âThen can we arrange a time to meet again? I think there must be a misunderstanding.â
âOh, okay.â
Li Lin sat on the chair in frustration like a deflated balloon.
She really could not understand. Everything had been progressing smoothly. Did they notice a mistake at this time?
âWhat happened?â Guo Shibo asked when he saw Li Linâs expression.
âDirector Tian called me just now and said that sheâs preparing to withdraw her investment. She doesnât want to invest anymore.â
...
âHow could that be possible? Didnât the negotiations go very smoothly? Did she give a reason?â
âShe didnât give me any reason. She just said that she didnât want to invest anymore.â
Guo Shiboâs expression also collapsed.
The company was already aware about this. If he told them now that Lingyun Group had withdrawn their investment, they would definitely think that it was his fault. How could he explain this to President Chen then?
âDidnât you hear what I said. If the money isnât transferred, thereâs a chance that it will fail. You should have did as I said,â Lin Yi said calmly.
âShut the f*ck up. You cursed me.â
âWhy donât you just admit that youâre too stupid? If it werenât for you, this project might have been completed.â
âWhat the f*ck does that have to do with me?â
âIf you had left when I told you to get out of my sight, this investment might have succeeded.â
Li Lin looked at Lin Yi suspiciously.
She felt that this matter was too coincidental to believe.
...
Could it be that this matter had something to do with the man in front of her?
âThatâs unlikely.
âHow could a streamer like him have the ability to obstruct an investment worth 678 million yuan?â
âWho the hell do you think you are, the boss of Lingyun Group?â
âThatâs not something you should worry about.â Lin Yi smiled.
âIf you do as I say, this investment can still go through. Otherwise, forget about receiving the money.â
Guo Shibo scoffed angrily.
âAlright, if youâre really capable of getting this investment, so Iâll resign now. If you donât have the ability, get out of here obediently! Listen clearly, I said get lost.â
âOld Guo, what are you saying? Be mindful of your image. This is a public place.â
Li Lin looked around and realized that everyone in the restaurant was looking at her. She immediately felt embarrassed.
There was no need to eat this meal anymore.
âMr. Lin, letâs go. Letâs not eat here and go somewhere else instead.â
âSince weâre already here, why should we change location?â Lin Yi said.
âBut with so many people watching, this place is no longer suitable for us to hang around.â
âItâs fine. Heâll be leaving soon.â
âLeaving?â
Ring!
Just as Li Lin was confused, the phone beside her rang again.
What surprised her even more was that the person who called was Tian Yan.
âHello, Ms. Tian.â
âYou are planning to continue with the investment?â
