And stood behind them with an imposing aura.
Caught off-guard by the sudden shadow and the oppressive feeling, Li Xingwan and Little Momo both straightened their spines, their movements becoming much more subdued.
"Pfft! I'm dying, they're acting like elementary school kids who just got caught by their teacher."
What should have been a scene of a stepmother abusing her child became more and more comical to the audience. No one really felt any abuse was happening.
Not only that, but the number of people in the live broadcast room kept surging.
Not far away, Jiang Song pulled out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her face. Three years ago, when Li Xingwan had first started in the entertainment industry, she had been her assistant. But after Li Xingwan suddenly got married, they lost contact.
A few days ago, she suddenly received a phone call from Li Xingwan asking if she wanted to take on a job as her temporary assistant. Although Jiang Song had still been in the entertainment industry for all these years, she had never managed a celebrity who really made it big.
She had taken the job simply for a living, thinking that it would be nothing noteworthy, without any major excitement or splash.
But who could have expected that not only did she have an adorable son, but also a top-tier tycoon for a husband.
What was irritating was that when Li Xingwan had called her, she told her that her husband was just an ordinary miner.
This was some miner indeed!
Their house was full of mines!
"Director, Ms. Li's live broadcast room seems to have exploded," a staff member nearby reminded. "It's about to break a million."
"What?"
This news startled the director on set and the agent, Jiang Song. "About to... about to break a million?"
Their family show had run for four seasons, and the highest number of live viewers for any family was just six hundred thousand.
That family of three, where the parents were a Best Actor and Actress and the son became famous at a young age, had amassed a large number of dedicated fans, all top-tier celebrities. Only then had they reached that peak number.
But who would have thought that today... today...
Li Xingwan, a relatively unknown talent, would reach it?
"Maybe everyone just wants to see what being part of the top elite is like?" Jiang Song could only think that way.
"Plus, everyone has always thought that Li Xingwan married just an ordinary guy, but then there were consecutive surprises that shocked everyone, so that's probably what attracted so many viewers."
No matter the reason, the director was absolutely thrilled.
"Get some technicians to carefully maintain the live broadcast room—don't let any incidents happen."
"Also, shift some more traffic this way and promote it again on Weibo!"
"Okay."
"I think we can heat things up even more," Jiang Song then took the opportunity to suggest. "Look, Li Xingwan and her husband are obviously not familiar with each other. How about we add something spicy on the fly to push the show's popularity even higher?"
"That's a great suggestion! That's a great suggestion!" The show's director was covered in sweat from excitement. Never before had he experienced such a thrill from producing a show.
The expected heat from the planned guests hadn't picked up, but the unexpected ones were making the numbers skyrocket.
While engrossed in her mahjong game, Li Xingwan's eyelids twitched and she had a chilling premonition that she was about to be schemed against.
She couldn't help but shiver.
That shiver drew Fu Chengzhou's gaze toward her.
"I've won," said Fu Xiaomo's voice.
