‘When everyone heard Wei Zhiqian’s words, they all fell silent.
Their faces were filled with shock.
‘When did Wei Zhiqian become so manipulative!
How must have studied how to manipulate people thoroughly.
How long did study the art of manipulation?
Tan Jinsheng thought of the scene described by Wei Zhiqian to get Li Ruhan to stay away from him. He said to say that it was for Li Ruhan’s good. It didn’t matter if he suffered a little. The main thing was that he couldn’t let Li Ruhan be misunderstood.
It was so cringey that Tan Jinsheng did not know what to say.
Tan Mo became even more serious.
Many years ago, Wei Zhiqian didn’t even know what manipulating meant. He even needed her to explain it to him.
However, Wei Zhiqian understood it very quickly.
‘When he was at Jixia Academy, he called many girls manipulative.
According to Tan Mo’s, he didn’t even use the term correctly.
She didn’t expect Wei Zhiqian to advance from calling people manipulative to actually being manipulative himself.
How did this happen!
Tan Mo was shocked.
She was with Wei Zhiqian every day, but she didn’t notice.
Tan Mo felt bad that she didn’t notice. It must have been because she hadn’t been paying him enough attention.
Tan Jinsheng nodded with a blank expression.
He couldn’t help but try to recall if Wei Zhiqian had used his manipulation skills on their family before, and it went unnoticed.
Aman who knows how to manipulate others is dangerous.
How would he use his manipulation skills moving forward?
In the future, would he use his manipulation skills on everyone all the time?
On the night of the broadcast, the voting channel opened at 12 o’clock sharp.
The voting page showed the real-time increase in the number of votes.
The rule was that every netizen who signed in to the voting page could get a vote for free.
They could get another vote for free if they shared the page.
‘These were the only two ways to get votes for free.
In order to get more votes, one had to spend money.
The official flagship store of the Tanyue household had set up an “I Sing” event page.
Depending on how much one was willing to spend, one could get a different number of votes. One could get up to five votes.
The items on the event page ranged from small items that were affordable for netizens who were not very financially wealthy, to slightly more expensive furnishings.
The cheapest items included a 20-yuan refrigerator sticker, a 39-yuan car fragrance, a 99-yuan mug, a 150-yuan scented candle and non-burning incense, silk eye masks, and a 300-400-yuan nightgown.
The most expensive items on the event page were a 599-yuan nightgown and four-piece cotton bed set.
They were all very practical items.
Even the most expensive product that cost 599 yuan was not ridiculously expensive. It was not so expensive that people would be reluctant to buy it.
If you spent a total of 100 yuan, you would get a ticket.
If you spent a total of 500 yuan, you would get a maximum of five tickets.
At the top of the event page, there were two lines of particularly eye-catching big words: “Please spend rationally. Don’t buy things specifically for voting.”
‘What Tanyue meant was very simple. If people wanted to vote, and happened to like certain products, or needed them, they could buy it.
But if they just wanted to get votes, but didn’t need or want anything on the page, they should not buy anything.
Of course, fans didn’t care about the disclaimer.
They were willing to spend money to support their idols.
The reason why votes were so expensive was that it was 100 yuan per ticket.
Tanyue, being a famous brand was also able to use this an advertising opportunity.
Shi Shulei pondered whether he should find some food products for the next season.
At least it was cheap.
Tanyue’s items were still considered a little more expensive.
In order to prevent malicious scalping, products that were bought from the event page were not allowed to be returned for seven days without valid reason.
It also prevented some netizens from deliberately buying, obtaining votes, and then returning the products.
This would make the program team’s efforts to garner revenue be in vain.
At the same time, it would prevent minors from spending money without parental consent.
Although there was no age restriction for the buying of items,
But to vote on the voting page, it was necessary to upload their ID card for real-name registration.
Although there would still be some minors who would use their parents’ ID cards to vote, at least majority of them would not want to go to the trouble.
And through buying products, each person could only get five votes each episode.
That is to say, during each voting period of five days, one could only vote a maximum of five times.
They could not cast five votes every day.
If the fans wanted to vote again, they would have to buy more products.
As for how the program’s guests’ companies would think of ways to find get more ID cards and accounts to purchase Tanyue’s products for voting, the program team really could not control it so comprehensively.
The program team had already tried their best to think of a way to deal with the situation, but it was impossible to completely eliminate all acts of taking advantage of loopholes in the rules.
Tan Mo did not hesitate to go to the voting page to sign in, share, and get two votes. Both votes were used to vote for Tan Jinsheng.
Then, she went to the flagship store’s page to place an order for a nightgown.
Only after the receipt was confirmed did she get the five votes.
The others also quickly did the same.
If they didn’t do it, other guests would also think of ways to increase their votes.
‘Wei Zhiqian didn’t care that it was already past midnight.
It was Friday anyway. Since he didn’t have to go to the office tomorrow, Zhou Jingan didn’t have to go either.
Zhou Jingan must be staying up to play games now.
Wei Zhiqian didn’t care that him calling Zhou Jingan would disrupt his game and may cause his team to lose the game.
Sure enough, Wei Zhigian knew Zhou Jingan very well.
‘When Wei Zhigian called him, Zhou Jingan was playing a game.
However, he still had to answer his boss’s call.
No matter how close they were, he still couldn’t reject his boss’s call.
‘At most, he would pick up the phone and scold him.
After picking up his phone, Zhou Jingan criticized Wei Zhiqian immediately. “Do you know what time it is? I’ve already gotten off work!”
Hearing Zhou Jingan’s irritable tone, Wei Zhiqian knew that he was playing a game.
“Tl make it short. Hopefully before your game ends,” said Wei Zhiqian.
Hearing Wei Zhiqian’s words, Zhou Jingan began to grind his teeth.
Sure enough, Wei Zhigian knew that he was playing a game, yet he still insisted on making a phone call at this time.
Hearing the grinding sound coming from the other end of the phone, Wei Zhiqian ignored it completely. He said, “Tomorrow, contact the company’s finance department to discuss the purchasing of products from the “I Sing” event page on Tanyue’s flagship store. Every single person in the company is to
purchase at least 500 yuan worth of products.”
