Free Web NovelChapter 598: Chapter 617: Jiang Qiuqiu, What a Perfect Product
Back then, in order to get more resources, Qian Song had demanded all sorts of things and pulled all kinds of stunts, secretly working to suppress Qian Xingxing. And no one stopped him.
Since no one stopped him, his actions became more and more blatant, more and more over the top, as he tested Qian Duoduo’s limits to see if he really favored Qian Xingxing that much.
The result was him being summoned to the office.
The man in the chair didn’t even stand up or raise his head. He said just two sentences: "Know your place."
"And don’t go too far."
The blunt words drained the color from Qian Song’s face.
He became insanely jealous. Why did Qian Xingxing get to receive Qian Duoduo’s perfect, utterly biased love?
Why couldn’t he receive that kind of love—
At this moment, Qian Song had apparently forgotten how Qian Duoduo used to humiliate Qian Xingxing. Or perhaps he knew but didn’t care. After all, in his eyes, money and fame were all that mattered.
However, this jealousy didn’t last long. Qian Xingxing tried to stage his own rebellion, but he lacked the ability, failed, and thoroughly enraged Qian Duoduo. He was thrown out of the Qian Family directly.
It was from that moment on that Qian Song found he was being groomed as the new successor.
It was an unexpected windfall.
He had inwardly mocked him more than once. ’Qian Xingxing must have rocks in his head.’
He swore to himself he would never do something so stupid. ’What kind of man is Dad? Could an ordinary person possibly out-scheme him?’
’I will definitely play it safe and lie low in my position as heir. I’ll never even think about trying to usurp him.’
Heh heh.
And sure enough, because he was so well-behaved and clever, Qian Duoduo had made him the general manager of the livestreaming company’s food division, justified by his previous experience managing some rather outstanding food streamers.
After getting the title, he came to check on the division every day.
He would check the division’s overall traffic and see how the streamers he favored were performing.
Then, he would observe the livestream performance of Master Huang, who had been brought in from the Federation’s rotating restaurant.
The "Master Huang" plan was a new proposal he had put forward. He had previously noticed that Qian Duoduo and Qian Xingxing often disagreed on how to manage food streamers.
He couldn’t understand what there was to disagree about, so he used their squabble as an opportunity to propose a new plan.
The plan was to hand-pick and cultivate a food streamer who was famous, highly skilled, and had a respectable background. They would then build hype around him. Once the hype was successful, they could sell his services on a one-off basis for a high price. Besides selling his culinary skills, they could also sell tutorials.
’So many people have become interested in cooking lately. They can buy a moderately priced tutorial—not too expensive, not too cheap. As long as the customer base is large enough, it will still bring in a fortune.’
It had to be said that Qian Song, in his own way, had a real head for business.
After Qian Xingxing was gone, he showcased his business acumen to Qian Duoduo with even greater zeal.
Qian Duoduo’s response to this was: "Not bad. We’re of one mind." freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Qian Song felt deeply honored.
’Alright, enough reminiscing. Time to look at the data.’
’The basic daytime data hasn’t changed, but... why are so many people not streaming this afternoon?’
’Damn it, why have so many people taken the day off?’
’If it were up to me, the contracts would be ironclad. The company pays them, but is it so they can just take days off whenever they want?’
’They should have to clock in daily and be required to stream two hundred hours a month.’
After ranting about the damned contracts, he looked again and noticed something else. ’Wait, even with so many people not streaming today, why is the user activity in the food section so high?’
It broke ten billion!
He took a closer look and realized that more than half of those ten billion views were coming from a single streamer.
When he saw the name, he suddenly remembered. ’Isn’t this the number one food streamer Qian Xingxing was cultivating before? A beautiful, young, female streamer who’s supposedly a Spirit Healing Master (but definitely isn’t).’
’When I was cleaning house at his branch company, this person wasn’t on the list. Did she somehow not get purged?’
’No.’
’I have to get her out of there!’
’How can such a talent be left to rot in Qian Xingxing’s company?’
He felt this person would be an even better asset to manage than Master Huang. Handled correctly, she represented a massive fortune.
Youth and beauty are, in themselves, a delicacy that easily satisfies the powerful.
A wide grin spreading across his face, Qian Song clicked on Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream.
The more he watched, the more satisfied he became.
’A perfect product.’
