Chapter 549: Sky High Reward!

Unknowingly, everyone in the production team was leaning toward Qin Shuang and Xue Xi.

There was no other way!

The two of them, who occupied 90% of the show’s popularity, had no choice but to become the new favorites of the production team. Moreover, Cen Bai was protecting Qin Shuang. Everyone had been discussing how to get in touch with Xu Xinyao’s management company from the start.

After all, it would be unacceptable if Xu Xinyao got first place this year.

The assistant directors said to the staff and cameraman, “Stay in the lounge and liven up the atmosphere.”

…

The director’s request came from the earpiece he carried with him, so the staff said, “Qin Shuang, Xue Xi, do the two of you know each other?”

Xue Xi did not stop flipping the book, but Qin Shuang said, “Yes, we were high school classmates. She’s my Sister Xi! However, shush. Since Sister Xi is reading, let’s talk less.”

The staff: “…”

The corners of his lips twitched, indicating that it was difficult. He could only speak the truth. “We can’t. Your live-stream’s popularity has always been high. If you don’t continue to talk, your popularity will drop.”

When he said this, Qin Shuang raised her eyebrows and tilted her head. She looked at the camera. “Will you guys leave?”

The comments went crazy:

“—No! I can watch the two of you for an entire day!”

“—Ah ah ah, definitely not! Even if you guys don’t say anything, as long as you show your faces, I will always be by your side!”

Qin Shuang asked, “What did the commenters say?”

The staff: “They said they won’t leave.”

All the directors in the production team said, “The fans are just saying it verbally. They won’t really stay. If you really don’t say anything, in less than half an hour, everyone will definitely leave!”

Although the directors were worried, they could not interfere with their decision.

After all, no one had expected that even though the questions were so difficult, someone could actually finish all the tests in just one morning.

There was nothing set for the entire afternoon. Could Sister Xi and Qin Shuang really just be doing questions here?

The directors immediately called for an emergency meeting to discuss how to increase Qin Shuang’s popularity.

While everyone was discussing fervently, they suddenly heard someone weakly say, “Director, ever since just now, Sister Xi’s live-stream has gained another 300,000 viewers.”

Director: “??”

What happened?

Everyone looked over and saw that in the live-stream, Xue Xi was still reading with her head lowered. Qin Shuang was taking a nap out of boredom while the staff sat awkwardly beside her.

However, the comments were heated.

“Brother Cameraman, please move closer to Sister Xi’s book. Let us see what book she’s reading.”

“——Eh? Is that ‘Undercover Knowledge’? Damn, it’s true! I want to see it too!”

“—What is that? A novel? A romance novel? Is the female protagonist called Weiwei?”

“—???”

“????”

[What kind of weird idea is this? It’s a physics book about quantum science! Have you read too many web novels?]

“?????”

“Xue Xi, I’m the director of the Physics Department of Huazhong University. I see that you’re studying quantum science. Are you planning to enter the Physics Department? Our Physics Department welcomes you!”

“Old Li, get lost. Does our Huaxia University not have a Physics Department? Xue Xi, come if you want to attend class! Also, are you interested in my recent physics project?”

The rest of them were speechless.

There were commenters asking weakly:

“—Was that a real professor?”

“——I’m from Huazhong University. Our Physics Department’s dean is indeed surnamed Li, and the person who just posted on the bullet screen has the same profile picture.”

Everyone: “…”

Even stranger comments flooded in:

“———Mom said I didn’t have to do my homework anymore. She wanted me to watch the live broadcast of ‘Most Beautiful Girls.’ I was so excited, but when I came in, I saw this??? Wuwuwu, I suddenly felt that the phone in my hand doesn’t smell good anymore. I want to do my homework! But Mom said I should just watch the live broadcast and not do my homework.”

“I’m a student. To be honest, I don’t know why, but I’m filled with fighting spirit when I see Sis Xi studying! I’ve already opened a set of mock questions for the college entrance examination. Want to create a team to do the questions?”

“—I’ll do it!”

“—Me, me, me!”

“—I keep feeling like I’ve entered a weird live-stream room, but what’s even stranger is that I don’t want to leave anymore. I don’t know why, but when I look at the two people in the live-stream room, my heart suddenly quietens.”

…

…

All kinds of weird comments and reasons for coming to watch the live-stream gradually increased the number of people in the live-stream room.

At its peak, it even reached 10 million people!

The directors fell silent. After a while, someone said, “I suddenly feel that as long as it involves Sister Xi, the direction of things will be different.”

The others nodded.

At this time, Xu Xinyao’s agency called as well. “What’s wrong with you guys? It’s just an insignificant trainee, but her popularity has already surpassed Xu Xinyao’s! We agreed that Xu Xinyao would come in first!”

The director replied firmly, “Back then, we said that we would try our best to ensure that she gets first place. Now that a dark horse has appeared out of nowhere, we can’t control it. We can’t just ban Qin Shuang, can we? If you guys beat her with your own abilities, you will definitely bring the first place back to Xu Xinyao!”

The agency was furious and hung up.

After a while…

The assistant director looked at the director with an ugly expression. “Just now, a big shot gave Xu Xinyao’s live-stream 10 million yuan as a tip. Xu Xinyao’s live-stream’s popularity soared to more than 10 million yuan, surpassing Qin Shuang’s live-stream!”

Director: “???”

The assistant director said, “Isn’t it too obvious that their management company is doing this!?”

The director frowned. “Xu Xinyao is finally on the top search.”

On Weibo, the topic #Sky-high-priced gifts landing in a live-stream room# finally started to rise.

At this moment, in Xu Xinyao’s live-stream, Zhan Busi was still calculating all sorts of questions. Xu Xinyao smiled and said, “Thank you, Big Brother, for your gift. Thank you for your support. I’ll make sure to repay it!”

The comments were also full of praises:

“—Big brother is awesome!”

“—Ah ah ah ah, my Yaoyao’s popularity has finally surpassed Qin Shuang’s!”

“Look, the truly rich big shots have good taste! Some people only attract some primary school students. We are the real big shots!”

‘I feel like Xu Xinyao is really pretty. Her face looks like that of an international superstar. No wonder she received so much money!’

“—That’s right, a certain someone looks like someone from a small family and couldn’t compare at all!”

“In terms of popularity, Xu Xinyao has won!”

Qin Shuang’s fans were furious.

“—Is it a big deal to get a tip?”

“Do you have to attack other people’s looks like this? What’s wrong with my Qin Shuang? Are you guys blind? She looks high-class, and it’s clearly our Qin Shuang who looks international! People who look like Xu Xinyao are all over the streets, alright?”

Xu Xinyao’s fans:

“It’s great to be rewarded by people! If you have the ability, find a big shot to reward Qin Shuang’s live-stream! What’s the use of being a straight-A student? Qin Shuang can’t compare to Xu Xinyao!”

“Qin Shuang had relied on Sister Xi to attract attention. In the past, she had never been more popular than Xu Xinyao. Is some tycoon angry now?”

“I heard that Xu Xinyao was born into a rich family, so it’s normal for her to know a rich second-generation heir. Not like a certain someone.”

“Qin Shuang and that straight-A student, Sister Xi, are good friends, right? The people that Sister Xi knows seem to be very impressive too. Since they’re so impressive, why don’t I see her friends giving gifts?”
