Changing the company's name involves some legal procedures, so it will take some time, but the new CEO, Liu Mingyan, can take office immediately.
Liu Mingyan has served as an executive in a multinational corporation and has rich experience. In less than a day, she has already adapted to her role, working efficiently and decisively.
Before the end of the day, Ning Xingchen called Liu Mingyan to his office to discuss the idea of developing Douyin. After all, three years ago, short videos were not as popular as they are now.
After hearing Ning Xingchen's plan, Liu Mingyan looked incredulous. She felt she needed to reassess Ning Xingchen.
"Honey, don't look at me so admiringly. This is just a preliminary idea. The implementation and execution depend on you," Ning Xingchen enjoyed the feeling of being admired by Liu Mingyan.
"Xingchen, if this music creative video app launches, it will be immensely popular and become a significant source of revenue for the company in the future." Liu Mingyan was very excited. Ning Xingchen's strategy was very forward-thinking and demonstrated a keen market insight.
"Honey, since you're so interested, I'll leave it to you," Ning Xingchen smiled. There were more profitable projects he hadn't mentioned yet, like "King's Duel" and "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner."
"Okay, I'll do my best," Liu Mingyan glanced at Ning Xingchen, a bit shy. She hadn't expected Ning Xingchen to be not only handsome and rich but also highly talented and meticulous in business thinking.
Thinking about her close relationship with Ning Xingchen, Liu Mingyan felt fortunate that she hadn't turned down such an outstanding man.
...
In the following days, with the company managed by Liu Mingyan, Ning Xingchen felt much more relaxed, enjoying some leisure.
During a lunch break, Ning Xingchen noticed An Yuting holding an iPad, smiling happily at something.
"Secretary An, what are you watching?" Ning Xingchen asked curiously.
"Mr. Ning, I'm watching a live stream," An Yuting showed him the iPad.
"You like watching this?" Ning Xingchen was a bit surprised.
It turned out An Yuting was watching a food vlogger eating pork knuckles, braised pork, chicken legs, and other dishes, with a meal consisting of seven or eight courses, likely from a wealthy background.
"Yes, I'm on a diet recently, so I can only watch this to satisfy my cravings," An Yuting smiled sweetly.
"I don't understand you young girls. You're so slim already, why diet?" Ning Xingchen looked at An Yuting. She was not fat at all, even a bit slender.
However, An Yuting's ample bosom must have contributed to her weight, with her full figure being at least a D cup.
Seeing An Yuting watching live streams made Ning Xingchen ponder. This year was the rise of the internet celebrity economy. If he seized this opportunity, he could make a lot of money.
Sitting in his boss chair, Ning Xingchen opened the Apple App Store on his iPhone and downloaded the top-ranking live-streaming app, Koala Live.
After downloading, Ning Xingchen registered an account with the username "Chen Di."
This live-streaming platform mainly featured singing talents, mostly female streamers. Browsing through the official recommendations, Ning Xingchen wasn't interested. These female streamers, although somewhat attractive, were just ordinary in his eyes, far inferior to Lin Xun'er and Liu Mingyan.
...
Just as Ning Xingchen was about to exit the app, he inadvertently noticed a sweet and lovely female streamer. However, she had few viewers, possibly because she dressed conservatively compared to others.
Her ID was Mu Zixuan, and she was streaming a song, "Seven Mile Fragrance." Her voice was melodious and touching, clearly a girl with a story.
Ning Xingchen found Mu Zixuan quite pretty, with a sweet voice and petite, lovely figure.
While Mu Zixuan sang, there were many comments, almost no trolls or negative remarks.
"Sounds great, sounds great, sounds great."
"Zixuan, keep it up."
"Miss, you're beautiful!"
"Goddess, do you have a boyfriend?"
Some were gifting, but mostly with lollipops and roses. Occasionally, there were a couple of rockets, but very few.
Watching Mu Zixuan's talent show, Ning Xingchen found it pleasing. He opened the recharge page and directly topped up ten million.
After successfully recharging, Ning Xingchen immediately opened the gift icon and selected the most expensive super rocket, buying 520 of them in one go, representing "I love you."
"Chen Di sent a super rocket*1."
"Chen Di sent a super rocket*2."
"Chen Di sent a super rocket*3."
...
"Chen Di sent a super rocket*520."
With so many rockets, the screen was flooded, and Mu Zixuan's viewer count soared to 30,000.
The fans watching the live stream were more excited than Mu Zixuan.
The screen was filled with a string of exclamations.
"520 super rockets, that's about a million! Many people can't earn that in a lifetime."
"Begging to hug the rich guy's thigh."
"Captured national husband Wang Sicong's small account."
Mu Zixuan was essentially a laid-back streamer, singing was her hobby, and her main job was as a nurse in a hospital, so she didn't care much about tips.
Seeing the comments, Mu Zixuan was completely stunned, utterly shocked, motionless, making many fans think the stream had frozen.
Mu Zixuan was startled. She even thought she was dreaming. She wasn't a famous streamer, and her online presence wasn't that big. Yet, someone had just tipped her over a million in one go.
"Thank you, Chen Di, for the super rockets. Mwah!" Mu Zixuan, not having time to think, excitedly made a heart gesture.
After tipping, Ning Xingchen sent Mu Zixuan a private message, "Give me your WeChat."
Mu Zixuan saw the private message and was hesitant. She didn't want to mix her private life with the virtual world.
Being simple and kind, Mu Zixuan replied, "Sorry, I never add fans on WeChat. Please understand."
A cold smile flashed at the corner of Ning Xingchen's mouth. He thought Mu Zixuan was making excuses. It was all because the tips weren't enough.
Actually, Mu Zixuan didn't mean that at all.
"Do you have time tonight? I'll take you to dinner in my Ferrari. If you're available, give me a contact." Ning Xingchen didn't give up and sent another private message.
"I want to eat spicy strips, is that okay?"
"Teasing?" Ning Xingchen smiled faintly, thinking Mu Zixuan might not be the type of streamer he imagined, with a chaotic private life earning extra money on the side.
However, the more pure and conservative, and hard-to-get girls, made Ning Xingchen want to conquer them.
Seeing Ning Xingchen leaving her stream, Mu Zixuan couldn't help feeling a bit lost, regretting not giving him her WeChat. She blamed herself for being too reserved.
But the name "Chen Di" was already etched in Mu Zixuan's mind. She knew Chen Di would return.
