This was an era where looks mattered. In the live stream industry, if one was not good-looking, it was impossible to survive.
Therefore, as long as he continued to make an issue out of his looks, he would definitely be able to defeat Lin Yi!
This was a way to eliminate the root of the problem.
Thinking of this, Guo Shibo’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“You probably didn’t expect that you would end up like this!”
At the same time, on Lin Yi’s side, Zhang Xiaoyu was still desperately introducing the goods.
However, the sales were not good.
This was because the heat of the live stream was soaring. It was even more serious than when they first started.
“I can now confirm that he started this live stream to make money. You people are actually being toyed by an ugly man. How impressive.”
“I’m sure that the woman from before must have been hired by him. She’s a brainless person who placed an order. You were all deceived.”
“The Internet nowadays is really scary. Anyone can come out and do a live stream. I’ll wear a mask and sunglasses tomorrow and say that I’m a rich second-generation heir. I can probably cheat everyone of a sum of money.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. I really don’t have a good impression of the ugly man. Moreover, the things are sold at such an expensive price. Who’s going to buy them?!”
“Damn it, I’m already regretting it. I actually bought something from an ugly man. I was careless.”
Seeing that the comments in the live-stream were filled with a large number of personal attacks, Zhang Xiaoyu could not stand it anymore.
“Don’t be led astray by the Internet trolls.” Zhang Xiaoyu said, “I, Zhang Xiaoyu, swear on my reputation that Brother Mask is better-looking than any man you’ve ever seen!”
“Stop bragging. If he’s really that good-looking, why didn’t he show his face? Why is he making out to be so mysterious?”
“You actually say that he’s prettier than any man you’ve ever seen? Do you think those young hunks are just decorations?”
“All I can say is that Brother Mask has his own reasons for not showing his face. This is also his personal style. It has nothing to do with the quality of the goods. I hope everyone can view this calmly.”
“We’ve been watching the live stream for so long. Actually, we’re quite curious about what Brother Mask looks like too.”
“Brother Mask, it’s such a big day today. Please do us a favor and show your face.”
“I swear to the gods, I’m definitely not one to worship looks. No matter what you look like, we’ll continue to support you.”
“Aren’t you people despicable? Why are you supporting an ugly man?”
Seeing these personal attacks, Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth in anger.
If she had a submachine gun in her hands, she would shoot these people.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t do so, nor could she do anything to stop them.
Damn it, it was too infuriating!
Seeing this predicament, Li Lin frowned.
She thought that the issue of Lin Yi’s looks wouldn’t pop up again. She didn’t expect it to happen at this point.
Moreover, it had caused such a huge commotion.
The hardcore fans had already bought the goods, and the remaining passers-by were not convinced due to the influence of the trolls. What should they do now?
Ring ring ring!
Li Lin’s phone rang at this moment.
It was a call from his direct superior, Chen Tianjiao.
“What’s going on? Not only have you never sold anything to anyone, but the live stream is also turning sour. What’s wrong with you?!”
“Boss Chen, calm down first,” Li Lin explained. “I didn’t expect things to turn out this way. They’re trying so hard to change the tempo, we can’t fight back at this moment.”
“You’re a veteran in the company. You should have expected such a business tactic. Didn’t you consider it before?!”
“I’ve already thought of it, but I didn’t expect them to use so much force to press the matter,” Li Lin said in embarrassment.
“Boss Chen, don’t be angry. Brother Mask has already paid for the goods for the live stream. Even if it doesn’t sell, he will pay for it himself.”
However, in order to appease Boss Chen’s anger, this was the only solution for the time being.
“It’s not a matter of whether he can pay for it or not. This is a test of our three platforms. If the results are not good, Douyu will become a joke. By then, we can forget about getting other investments.” Chen Tianjiao was furious. “If I had known this would happen, I would have changed the host back then. Now it’s all over!”
“Boss Chen, speaking of investing, I just remembered something.”
“What is it?”
“Didn’t we always speculate that Brother Mask is related to Lingyun Group? During the day, I’ve already confirmed that he’s the president of Lingyun Group. He was the one who decided on the investment of more than 200 million yuan.”
“Um…”
Chen Tianjiao paused for a moment. “If you look at it that way, the effect of the live stream is actually not bad. It’s not as bad as I imagined.”
“Indeed.”
“Then your mission is to suppress the influence of the troll army and let President Lin livestream in peace, understand?!”
“Got it. I’ll do it right away.”
After hanging up Chen Tianjiao’s call, Li Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she had reacted quickly and thought of his identity. Otherwise, she would have been scolded badly.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyu was no longer in the mood to sell goods. She kept explaining this matter.
...
“Why don’t you listen to what I say? Why do you believe others when they are spouting nonsense?”
“Because he wears a mask all the time. That’s suspicious enough.”
“If you have the confidence, take off your mask and sunglasses. This is the first time I’ve seen a streamer who doesn’t show his face. Could he be a wanted criminal who is afraid of being arrested?”
“I’m going to return the goods. Ugly people are expensive. How did I fall for it just now?”
“What are these people doing?! Seriously!”
Ji Qingyan was so angry that she slammed her phone on the floor. Her stern expression made her look like a female leopard.
He Yuanyuan and Tian Yan sat at the side in a daze.
This was the first time they had seen the lady boss so angry.
“The girl who’s streaming with the boss is called Zhang Xiaoyu, right?” He Yuanyuan asked quietly, “Do you have her contact information?”
“Yes.” Gao Zongyuan nodded. “If you mind, I’ll delete her info now.”
“I didn’t ask you to delete her contact info.” He Yuanyuan said.
...
“Send her a message and ask her to take off the boss’s mask. I’m really impressed by these retards. They believe everything others say. If they don’t take out some hard evidence, they’ll remain convinced that the boss is ugly.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Sister-in-law hasn’t spoken yet.”
“It’s fine. There aren’t so many taboos between us. Just do as I say.”
“Alright, I’ll tell her now.”
Gao Zongyuan took out his phone and sent Zhang Xiaoyu a WeChat message.
However, Zhang Xiaoyu, who was busy with the live stream, did not notice the message from Gao Zongyuan.
It was not until Gao Zongyuan called her that she saw the message on WeChat.
Zhang Xiaoyu, “Brother Gao, is this alright?”
Gao Zongyuan, “There’s nothing bad about it. Just do as I say.”
Zhang Xiaoyu, “Damn, I’m so looking forward to it!”
After saying a few simple words, Zhang Xiaoyu put her phone aside and said to the people in the live stream,
“You trolls always talk about Brother Mask’s appearance. I’ll let you see his true colors today!”
“Huh?”
Lin Yi paused and turned to look at Zhang Xiaoyu.
At that moment, Zhang Xiaoyu pulled down Lin Yi’s mask and sunglasses without another word!
