Chapter 38: Listen to Me Sing in Ten Minutes

Very soon, viewers from Yuan Yuan’s livestream began appearing beneath Ling Xiaoli’s Weibo post.

【I’m in Little Yuanyuan’s livestream right now. Little Yuanyuan just showed her copyright registration information, along with her original drafts as proof. The ugly face of someone trying to ride the hype is truly disgusting.】

【Hahaha, didn’t expect that, did you? She registered it long ago, precisely to guard against brain-dead attention-seekers like you.】

【SBLXL, riding hot searches all day long. So this is what they mean by “even infamy is fame,” huh?】

…

For a time, the uproar grew louder and louder.

Ling Xiaoli’s Weibo comment section was filled with insults. The few scattered fans who supported her were completely drowned out by the negative comments and could not make even the slightest ripple.

It could be said that, at this moment, no other Weibo account had gathered so many haters.

As Ling Xiaoli scrolled through the comments, she could only be grateful that she had turned off all notification alerts in advance. Otherwise, her phone would probably have exploded by now.

The atmosphere was currently very “enthusiastic,” and the netizens were extremely “passionate.”

Ling Xiaoli nodded in satisfaction.

Then she posted a second Weibo update.

—【Ling Xiaoli: Want to hear the original version? Come to my livestream. I’ll be waiting for you on Dou Beast, room 10086111, in ten minutes.】

As soon as the post went up, the insults became even more vicious.

【I’m shocked! Is she really riding the hype this shamelessly?】

【Ugh. Her behavior is so disgusting that it’s causing a strong physical reaction.】

【So she switched to Dou Beast. She’s stepping on her former colleague to promote her new company? I didn’t think much of LXL before, but now I genuinely feel that there’s something wrong with her character.】

【A streamer like this, and Dou Beast still wants her? Are they really so desperate that they’ll take anyone?】

…

Although the comments were full of colorful abuse, some people did not mind going over to take a look.

After all, they would not give her even a single free gift. They would just freeload!

Not only would they refuse to give anything themselves, but they would also tell everyone who accidentally entered the livestream not to give her anything either.

Hey, I have gifts, but I’m not sending them. I’m just here to play around.

Are you angry? Tell me, are you angry?

……

“President Liu, room 10086111, which hasn’t started streaming yet, suddenly showed abnormal activity. A large number of viewers have poured in!

“According to the viewers in the room, the livestream will begin in ten minutes.

“We’ve already checked the registration information. She isn’t one of our veteran streamers. She’s a newcomer who just registered.”

As Liu Wenchu opened the room, he asked, “Who is it?”

“Ling Xiaoli.”

“Ling Xiaoli?” Liu Wenchu stopped what he was doing, his expression becoming strange. “Is it that Ling Xiaoli?”

The operations staff member, A, who was reporting the news, froze. “Which Ling Xiaoli?”

“The Mengmengmengya Pear from Maoya—the one everyone calls Lili. Are you telling me you just started working at a livestreaming company? How do you not know this?”

Operations A immediately understood.

“Oh, oh, oh! We rarely call her by her full name, so I didn’t react at first. If she isn’t just someone with the same name, then it’s definitely her.”

Liu Wenchu nodded. After thinking for a moment, he picked up his phone and opened a certain person’s contact information.

He was just about to make the call when he glanced at Operations A standing in front of him. He then closed the contacts app, opened WeChat instead, and sent a message.

After waiting for a while without receiving a reply, Liu Wenchu had no choice but to turn his attention back to the livestream room.

There were already plenty of comments flying across the screen. After reading just a few, he understood what was happening.

“Have the people below keep a close eye on things. If anything goes wrong, stop the stream immediately.

“Also, prepare to push it to the homepage at any time.”

Although it seemed that their own boss had a tiny bit of interest in Ling Xiaoli, until the boss gave an instruction, Liu Wenchu could only handle the matter according to normal procedures.

As for Ling Xiaoli being surrounded by scandals?

Everyone in this industry knew that most news about internet celebrities was a mixture of truth and falsehood. Sometimes, there could even be ten false claims and not a single true one.

“You can never truly understand a person through the internet. You have to interact with them in real life.”

That was the greatest lesson in life that people in the livestreaming industry had learned.
