14 The Beginning of the Scandal: 14

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Yun had no intention of analyzing the pros and cons of changing times.

In the midst of the waves, she could not turn back and chase after the past. She could only do her best to ride the wind and break the waves.

When she arrived, she got out of the car and met the broadcasting streamer in advance. After exchanging pleasantries, she went to redo her hair and makeup.

The makeup artist was hired by Zhou Lan and invited by the company to wait for her in the waiting room.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately got to work.

Zhou Lan read the script with Zhou Yun and told her about the process of the live broadcast later.

Zhou Yun memorized it silently while thinking about what kind of state the live broadcast would be in later.

Any chance to show her face was a chance for her to face everyone. In this information era, no one knew when it would suddenly hit the pulse of this information era and become popular.

Therefore, she could only be prepared every time and not miss the opportunity when it came.

This was Zhou Yun's attitude when she was studying in the past.

At the beginning of the evening live broadcast, Zhou Yun only needed to read the script and cooperate with the host to answer some questions. The host was very experienced and was one of the most popular hosts at the moment. Zhou Yun was actively chatting and laughing with the host, jokingly introducing products and completing work missions.

The contract was to participate in the live broadcast for 30 minutes.

By the 20th minute, the process on the script had basically been completed.

With the work done, Zhou Yun felt relieved. She only needed to play a few games with the streamer before she could call it a day.

"Xiaoyun, for a beauty like you, there should be a lot of people pursuing you, right?" the host suddenly asked.

This was not a question from the script. Zhou Yun was stunned and did not know what to do.

"I—" The camera of the live broadcast was right in front. Any reaction would be exposed in the live broadcast. Zhou Yun did not dare to speak nonsense. In the blink of an eye, she smiled sweetly. Her eyes were as clear as water ripples as she asked, "What's the matter? Are you asking if I'm single? Do you want to confess to me?"

This time, it was the host's turn to be stunned.

Zhou Yun's answer was obviously not what the host had expected. The host smiled awkwardly and said, "I… Xiaoyun, I don't even know how to take your joke."

Zhou Yun smiled brightly. "Alright, looks like I was overthinking. I thought you fell in love with me at first sight."

The host: "…"

In the end, Zhou Yun ended the live broadcast with a smile.

As soon as the live broadcast ended, Zhou Yun stopped smiling and turned to look for Zhou Lan in the crowd.

Zhou Lan was talking to someone with a serious look on her face, as if they were arguing about something.

"Zhou Yun, the effect of your live broadcast today is very good. My fans in the live broadcast room say that you look better in the live broadcast room than in the photos," the host said to Zhou Yun as he collected the microphone.

Zhou Yun smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."

Her attitude was a little distant.

At this moment, Zhou Lan seemed to have finished arguing with that person. She walked over and immediately frowned when she saw the streamer. However, she didn't say anything. She just said to Zhou Yun, "It's over. We have other work to do. Let's go."

Zhou Yun acknowledged and waved goodbye to everyone with a smile.

After getting into the car and closing the door, Zhou Lan said with a sullen face, "When you were streaming just now, the person asked you a question that was not on the script. He did it freely. I have already talked with the person in charge of his company, but this matter did not violate the terms of the contract. The other party only said that it was normal to do it freely and that it was nothing. It is normal for such a situation to happen during the live broadcast. I will report this matter to the company. I suggest that our company's artists try not to go to this person's live broadcast room in the future."

When Zhou Yun heard this, she smiled gently.

She knew and Zhou Lan also knew that it was impossible.

At the end of the day, this wasn't a problem. Zhou Yun wasn't affected in any way. Even if he didn't follow the script, it wasn't a big deal.

In the current form of entertainment, be it variety shows or live broadcasts, it was all about catching people off guard.

If this matter was exposed, the audience would only say that Zhou Yun was causing trouble. She was not a big shot, yet she acted like one. They wouldn't care that they had already gone against the script before, nor would they care that the other party had already promised to follow the script.

The streamer just now was one of the most popular streamers at the moment. It was also a good platform for celebrities to receive exposure. How could the company blacklist this live-stream because of this?

"It's fine as long as we don't go in the future," Zhou Yun said calmly.

Her entire voice weakened. It was no longer as radiant and moving as it was in the live-stream just now, where her voice was filled with energy and vitality.

Zhou Lan looked down at her phone and said, "The comments about you in the live broadcast just now were quite good. They all praised you for your beauty."

"They're just passersby."

Zhou Lan turned around and looked at her.

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Only passersby praise you for being beautiful. True fans call you Hubby."

Zhou Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I thought you were going to say something, but to be honest, your reaction just now was really good. Many people praised you for being calm in the face of danger."

"Calm in the face of danger? Haha." Zhou Yun nodded, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "I like this compliment."

"I plan to promote this point. I'll say that you reacted quickly and beat the streamer."

When Zhou Yun heard this, she hesitated.

"If I do publicity at this time, won't others think that I've been marketing men? First Song Chi, then this streamer." Zhou Yun shook her head instinctively. "Sister Lan, I don't want to be tied up with other men all the time. This will give the outside world the impression that I'm always entangled with men."

Zhou Lan nodded and agreed. "Yes, there is this disadvantage. However, you are at the peak of your popularity right now. If you don't use this time to strike while the iron is hot, the wind will blow over. You have to know that the remuneration you get these days is comparable to your previous year's income."

Zhou Yun fell silent.

Money was always her weakness. She needed money too much now.

Marketing was popular, and popularity could be exchanged for money.

This was the absolute rule of the entertainment industry. Even big shots could not avoid the word 'data'.

Zhou Yun was silent for a moment before she nodded and said, "Alright, go ahead."

Zhou Lan said, "I will try my best to avoid the relationship between a man and a woman and guide toward your quick-witted reaction."

That night, with Zhou Lan's help, Zhou Yun was trending for the second time. The trending topic was: Zhou Yun asked Xiao Hu, "Do you like me?"

Xiao Hu was the popular streamer in the live-stream. He was a little handsome and had many female fans.

After Zhou Yun finished her work, she soaked in the bathtub for a long time. Her skin turned red before she came out.

There was an unread message on the phone from an unknown number.

—Do you know who I am?
