Chapter 123 - Jiang Xun Is Such a Troublemaker

In the livestream room of “Unfulfilled lovers,” the bullet screen was filled with dissatisfaction. “Aren’t you going to show Jiang Xun the footage?”

[I’d rather watch Jiang Xun eat than watch them speak ill of others.]

[Your family runs the show? You can watch whoever you want to watch? I want to watch these four.]

At this moment, Jiang Xun’s words from the livestream room came from outside the screen.

At the same time, someone said on the bullet screen, [If you want to watch Jiang Xun, go directly to her Shanpin channel. No need to wait for the production team to cut the livestream.]

[I’m going to watch Jiang Xun’s livestream. Bye bye!]

[Jiang Xun suddenly started her own livestream at this time? Awesome!]

[Hehe, this Jiang is completely disrespecting the production team. Is she planning to leave after filming one episode?]

[No matter what, she’s being too disrespectful.]

However, even though some people were still badmouthing Jiang Xun, it didn’t change the fact that the number of viewers watching the livestream was decreasing.

The more Zhisheng watched the number, the more his head hurt. “Director, the number of viewers watching our livestream has decreased by 10,000.”

Two seconds after that, he said, “30,000 less…50,000 less...100,000 less...”

Zhisheng was so anxious that he was sweating. Thanks to their own livestream, the number of viewers watching Jiang Xun’s livestream had already exceeded a million in just five minutes.

......

“Stop talking...” Shuli held his throbbing forehead. “Hurry up and cut the livestream to Jiang Xun. If the audience wants to watch, let them watch.” To be honest, Shuli really didn’t understand. What was so good about watching someone eating in silence?

The production team cut the livestream to Jiang Xun, and Tianqing and the others lost the focus on them. However, the netizens who had gone to watch Jiang Xun’s livestream couldn’t be bothered to return to the program’s livestream room.

[I’ll go back after watching Jiang Xun’s livestream.]

Yicheng was in his office when he suddenly received a message from his assistant. “President Wang, Jiang Xun suddenly started a livestream. The number of people in the livestream room is about to surpass two million.”

Immediately after that, he sent him a screenshot of Jiang Xun’s livestream room.

“Huh?” Yicheng muttered strangely. “Isn’t she supposed to be filming a variety show? Why does she have time to livestream?”

He shook his head. “Never mind. Promote her channel with the usual specifications we use for her,” Yicheng instructed his assistant.

“Okay,” the assistant answered. He’d come here specifically to ask Yicheng about what to do in this scenario. After all, Jiang Xun was still supposed to be filming her reality show episode, but she ended up starting a livestream in the middle of filming. The assistant hadn’t been sure if it would be appropriate for Shanpin to promote Jiang Xun in this kind of scenario; if they weren’t careful, he might end up going against the production team.

In the meantime, Shuli was currently texting Guanglin on Wechat.

Shuli: [Old Hou, why didn’t you tell me that Jiang Xun is such a troublemaker?]

Guanglin: [??? Jiang Xun stirred up trouble? She was very good on my show. She cooperated with the filming and did things in a straightforward manner. Look at how high the viewership was for the episode involving her.]

Shuli: [...Are we talking about the same person?”

He then told Guanglin about the trouble Jiang Xun caused.

Guanglin: [It’s not Jiang Xun’s fault... aren’t the other guests causing trouble to provoke her?]

Guanglin: [That said,, Jiang Xun is indeed not the kind of person who is willing to suffer in silence. Although I haven’t had much contact with her, I could more or less tell from the episode in which I worked with her. If you didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t provoke you, but if you did, then she would retaliate. No matter what your status is, she can make you suffer the consequences of your actions.]

Shuli: [...]

Shuli: [I also know that Jiang Xun alone can’t be blamed for this matter. Those two girls just felt that Jiang Xun had completely overshadowed them, so they got angry. If they had gone against anyone else, they might have succeeded in bullying them, but they were faced with a tough person like Jiang Xun instead, so…]

Guanglin: [Don’t provoke Jiang Xun. I’m saying this because I have a good relationship with you. Although I don’t have any evidence, I just feel that her relationship with Qin Mufeng isn’t ordinary. What did you say to him when you invited him onto the show?]

Shuli: [I’ll accept. Jiang Xun will come too.]

Guanglin: [Then did he agree?]

Shuli: [...He really agreed, but I’m not sure whether or not it’s because of Jiang Xun.]

Guanglin: [What do you think?]

Shuli: [I got it. Thank you, Brother.]

“Director Shu, Shanpin has even promoted Jiang Xun.” While Zhisheng was paying attention to the production team’s recording, he also went over to Jiang Xun’s livestream room to keep an eye on her.

Even though Jiang Xun had suddenly decided to livestream, Shanpin media was quick to react and promote her stream on their website.

Was Jiang Xun treated so well in Shanpin media?

Shuli wiped his face, feeling utterly drained. “I’ll go talk to her manager.”

Jiang Xun’s manager happened to be Shanpin Media’s general manager, so he didn’t need to go through the usual procedures for reporting to the company’s leadership. From the looks of it, once Jiang Xun signed the contract, the general manager of Shanpin Media would personally lead her. This was a very clear indication of the problem!

Shuli walked to the end of the room and called Wang Yicheng.

“Director Shi.” Yicheng could guess the purpose of Shuli’s call and greeted him with a smile.

Shuli could only try his best to remain civil and polite. “Director Wang, can you tell Jiang Xun to end the livestream as soon as possible?” He felt that he was being too courteous by not asking Jiang Xun to end it immediately. “The number of viewers of our livestream dropped like a brick, you see,” Shuli said helplessly.

Yicheng was in a difficult position. “This…We have a contract with her, so we cannot just stop promoting her so suddenly or our viewers will also kick up a fuss. But don’t worry; Jiang Xun eats very quickly. She’ll finish her meal and end the livestream in an hour at most.”

Shuli: “...”

As the general manager and thus a representative of Shanpin Media, was Wang Yicheng trying to say that they were going up against their production team?

Fortunately, Shuli had no intention of going up against Yicheng, or he’d definitely be miffed at his words.

He couldn’t help but think that if it were another production team, would Shanpin media use the entire platform’s strength to support Jiang Xun if her backer really went up against Wang Yicheng?

Yicheng, however, wasn’t too afraid of Feng Videos’ retaliation. If they really went up against him, he still had Qin Mufeng behind him.

However, Yicheng still said, “Jiang Xun is livestreaming right now, so I can’t call her, but how about I send her aWechat message instead? She can see the message on her phone.”

“...Okay.” Shuli was unusually polite. “I’ll leave it to Jiang Xun.”

Yicheng was quite puzzled. Why was Shuli acting so subdued?

But he didn’t have time to think too much. He hung up the phone and immediately sent Jiang Xun a wechat message as promised.

As soon as Jiang Xun saw the message, she said to her viewers, “I have to speed up. All of you came to my livestream, so now there are fewer viewers in the reality show’s livestream. Everyone, go back there once I’m done.”
