Chapter 813 - 813 How is He Ugly?
813 How is He Ugly?
“Hmm? What’s the problem?”
“Your face?” Li Lin said, “There are no outsiders here. Why are you still hiding it?”
“I’m afraid I’d be too charming for you guys to resist.”
Li Lin took a step to the side. “Do you see the person behind me?”
Lin Yi looked up and saw that there were more than twenty men and women in total, all busy setting up the scene.
Strangely enough, many people would still glance at him from time to time despite being busy with work.
They seemed to be sizing up something.
“Why are these people peeking at me instead of working hard?” Lin Yi said, “It’s fine if they’re women, but why are men like this too?”
“To tell you the truth, these people are already divided into three factions. Do you know what they are split about?”
“Just tell me.”
“One group of them said that you were disfigured. The other claim that you were splashed with sulfuric acid,” Li Lin said.
“The rest simply think that you’re ugly. They’ve been discussing it since we got out of the car.”
“And?”
“Then, the loser will have to treat everyone to a meal.”
“Damn, you people are too nosy.”
Li Lin shrugged. “Your matter has indeed blown up. It’s already trending on Douyin and Kuaishou. I think these two platforms are promoting similar videos. Otherwise, it’s impossible for the matter to ferment to this extent overnight.”
“I can understand why Quick Hand did this, but why is Douyin involved?”
“In terms of ability to carry goods, Douyin is not as good as Fast Hands. They are also prepared to come in second place, but they are unwilling to lose to you, so they might as well join in.”
“It’s just a small live stream. All sorts of people are involved.”
“Certain people will definitely show their true colors under the influence of benefits.” Li Lin looked at Lin Yi, “So, do you want to show your face now?”
“No, my girlfriend won’t let me. Let me continue to be mysterious.”
“Are you such an obedient person?”
“Of course. I listen to my girlfriend the most.”
Seeing that Lin Yi was doubtful and refused, Li Lin didn’t force him anymore.
She could only leave tonight’s live stream to fate.
She hoped that Lin Yi’s fans were all there for his strength and not his looks.
Otherwise, it would really be over.
Lin Yi spent the entire morning discussing the details of the live stream with Li Lin.
In this aspect, Lin Yi realized that Li Lin was much more professional than Zhang Xiaoyu.
She considered many details. She could be said to be responsible for everything.
If he couldn’t sell the goods, he would be letting her down.
Even so, Lin Yi didn’t think there would be a problem. Douyu was relying on Taobao for this stream.
His own fans, combined with Taobao’s traffic, would ensure that they would achieve a good effect.
“Let’s go. It’s already noon. Let’s go eat something,” Li Lin said.
Lin Yi looked at his watch. It was almost one in the afternoon. Even if he wasn’t hungry, the staff had to eat.
“Let’s go.”
Li Lin called out to her colleagues at the scene and prepared to eat.
“What are you guys doing?”
Seeing Li Lin and the others walking towards the door, Lin Yi called out from behind.
“Let’s go out for dinner.”
“Isn’t this a hotel? Why are we going out to eat?”
“There are rules for our business trip. The Peninsula Hotel’s prices are too high. It’s over budget.”
For an executive like Li Lin, her travel allowance was enough to support her spending at the Peninsula Hotel.
However, the remaining ordinary employees did not receive such high treatment.
Naturally, they could not eat here.
“The Peninsula Hotel is mine. Don’t go too far. This meal is on me.”
“Huh?”
Hearing this, the Douyu staff were all stunned, including Li Lin.
“You… you said the Peninsula Hotel is yours?”
“What else did you think I said?”
Staring at the magnificent Peninsula Hotel around them, Li Lin and the accompanying staff were speechless for a long time.
Putting everything else aside, this hotel alone was worth hundreds of millions.
Li Lin quietly stood in front of Lin Yi and asked softly,
“As far as I know, the president of Lingyun Group is also called Lin Yi. That is you, isn’t it?”
Lin Yi smiled. “What do you think?”
Li Lin understood.
It couldn’t be a mistake. No wonder he had the ability to influence that investment. It turned out that he was the president of Lingyun Group.
In other words, he was now her boss.
Guo Shibo was really unlucky.
After learning of Lin Yi’s identity, the female staff who came with her all looked at Lin Yi.
“Did you guys notice that although he has some flaws in his appearance, his temperament is quite good?”
“I got the same feeling. I didn’t notice it just now, but the more I look at him, the more pleasing he appears.”
“Actually, with the lights off, everyone’s more or less the same.”
Unknowingly, the wheels had started turning.
“Let’s go. Don’t just stand here. Let’s head up and eat first.”
Under Lin Yi’s lead, the group arrived at the buffet restaurant on the second floor.
Li Lin naturally sat with Lin Yi and discussed the live stream.
At around two in the afternoon, a four-meter-long truck stopped at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel.
The things in the car were meant to be displayed during the live stream. They were also part of the setting.
“Brother Lin, we brought the goods back intact. There shouldn’t be anything else to prepare.”
“Well done.”
“It’s no big deal,” Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
…
At the same time, in the Four Seasons Hotel, Li Weiqiang, Guo Shibo, and the others were also busy.
Even though they had a 70% chance of winning first place in this live stream event, they were still very cautious.
“The popularity of the discussion surrounding Brother Mask should have risen, right?”
“I can guarantee that anyone who watches short videos should know about this. Moreover, I’ve prepared a lot of fake reviewers. Once the live stream starts, they’ll go to his live stream room to set the pace. The effect will definitely not be bad. Don’t worry.”
“Alright, I’m relieved to hear that.”
Guo Shibo nodded. “Other than that, the goods we choose also have a huge advantage. The maximum price is 20 yuan, and many of them are 9.9 yuan. Meanwhile, the goods on Brother Mask’s side are not cheap, and some of them are even more expensive than the market price. They definitely can’t compete with us.”
“I feel more confident when you say that.”
Li Weiqiang took a deep breath. “This guy called Brother Mask was still acting like a big shot in front of me previously. Today, I’ll let him know what the power of capital is!”
…
At seven o’clock in the evening, everyone except Lin Yi became nervous.
That was because the live streams from the three platforms were held at the same time. It was like a PVP fight. Everyone was full of energy. No one wanted to lose.
Just as Lin Yi was adjusting the equipment, he suddenly saw a slender figure standing in front of him.
“Are you hungry? Have you eaten?”
