The Top-notch Contract

Lu Heng was a narrow-minded and vindictive individual. In the past, students who dared to oppose him were subjected to severe physical punishment.

Tang Qiao smiled and reassured Li Luo, saying, "It's alright."

It would be fine if Lu Heng knew how to control himself. However, if he failed to do that... Tang Qiao's gaze gradually turned icy.

On the internet.

After two days of circulation and discussion, QiaoYou's lullaby began to gain popularity and even became a trending topic. When netizens first encountered this trend, their initial reaction was one of skepticism. A lullaby that can put people to sleep? If it were that effective, there wouldn't be such a widespread use of melatonin and sleeping pills.

Curious and doubtful, netizens clicked on the trending topic, eager to see what the fuss was about. The most popular post was from a blogger who had entered QiaoYou's live stream and captured the lullaby she played during her broadcast. The post read, "QiaoYou has introduced a lullaby into her live stream. A lullaby played by chimes. It can induce relaxation and aid in falling asleep effectively as you listen to it!"

The comments below the post were overwhelmingly positive:

"I've personally tested it, and it really works! This lullaby is magical!"

"I can vouch for its effectiveness too! It helps you sleep when you're tired but can't doze off. Listening to it while awake also relaxes your body and mind, alleviating fatigue!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that this streamer, QiaoYou, has such elegant fingers? The way she strikes those chimes is simply beautiful! I knew the chimes sounded great, but I didn't expect them to be played so gracefully!"

Newcomers to the discussion were taken aback.

So many people were singing its praises. Could it be that someone had paid for these positive reviews? Skeptical, they clicked on the video.

The unique chime sounds rang out softly, ranging from light to deep. The clear, melodious tones of the chimes harmonized with the gentle ringing, creating a soothing atmosphere that touched the soul.

As netizens listened, they felt their bodies and minds gradually relax. Some even let out a sleepy yawn. Oh, it is noon. We can take a nap…

But wait, it is the middle of the day. We shouldn't be feeling like this. A group of people who initially intended to criticize the lullaby as a hoax had a change of heart and joined the chorus of praise.

Consequently, Tang Qiao's livestream gained widespread recognition.

At the Coconut Grove Media branch, within the Ordinary Streaming building. 

Xu Guangyi sat at his desk in a suit, his brow furrowed. "Still no response from QiaoYou's livestream?" Ever since his mother had fallen into a deep slumber after listening to the lullaby that night, he had promptly instructed his staff to send an electronic copy of the contract to QiaoYou backstage of the live stream. However, two days had passed, and there had been no reply whatsoever.

"Yes, Streamer QiaoYou has not responded yet," Secretary Li said, holding the document in his hand with equal anxiety. That night, Manager Xu had seemed to act recklessly, offering the new streamer the best contract available—a platinum contract. Many had thought the manager had lost his mind, but no one expected this swift turn of events. In less than two days, QiaoYou's online popularity had skyrocketed, overshadowing some of the seasoned streamers on ordinary streaming platforms. It was even more remarkable today as it had reached the trending searches on Weibo. QiaoYou hadn't signed with any platform yet, lacking a platform for self-promotion, yet her popularity was already soaring.

What was even more pressing was that QiaoYou had not yet signed a contract with their platform.

Such a talent could easily be poached by other platforms at any moment.

As Secretary Li pondered this, there was a knock on the office door. Nie Chengfei entered, dressed in a suit but with a notable beer belly.

"Director Nie," Secretary Li greeted him respectfully.

Nie Chengfei nodded and approached Xu Guangyi. "How's it going? Has Qiao You responded?"

"No," Xu Guangyi replied with a shake of his head.

Nie Chengfei was known for his impatience. He paced around the office, fiddling with his round stomach, and scratching his ears and cheeks with one hand. "Why hasn't she responded yet?

Could it be that she's not satisfied with our offer? That's it! It must be the case! Xu Guangyi, you've really outdone yourself. The contract terms you offered were subpar. You should give her a top-tier contract, the Star Diamond contract!"

Secretary Li was left dumbfounded. Director Nie, do you recall that day when Manager Xu insisted on offering QiaoYou a platinum contract? You are so furious and even accused him of being irrational, as if he'd been kicked by a donkey.

"Yes, Director Nie, you're absolutely right!" Xu Guangyi suddenly stood up, nodding gravely. "A platinum contract clearly isn't up to par. Get the legal department here. We'll revise it to a Star Diamond contract!"

Secretary Li couldn't believe what he was hearing. Are they going insane?

Suddenly, Nie Chengfei's phone rang. He checked the caller ID and walked toward the door to answer the call. "Yes, alright, I understand. Don't worry, I'll certainly inform you, Director Wang... I'm well aware of the nature of our relationship... Okay... We'll discuss it further when the time comes..."
