Ding Yaxin was dumbfounded. This scene was completely different from what she had imagined.
According to the original plan, shouldn’t Cheng Youyou be banned by the platform right now? Shouldn’t the livestream room be in chaos, with everyone panicking and not knowing what to do?
And she, Ding Ya Xin, was supposed to be the hero who would save the live stream room. She was there to rescue it, to replace Cheng Youyou and ensure the smooth progress of the live stream.
Cheng Youyou’s skirt had fallen off, so why were the people inside so calm?
Ding Yaxin quickly opened the live broadcast room, only to see that the live broadcast room was not banned. Cheng Youyou was standing in front of the camera in good condition. Not only did she not expose herself, but she also had a pair of black shorts underneath for cover, revealing a pair of tender, slender legs underneath.
When Cheng Youyou pulled her leg, it turned out she was actually pulling up an extra layer of fabric.
Cheng Youyou: “Looks like you found out, my leg-revealing gadget1I frequently used this term throughout the chapter coz idk i guess it’s much better than repeatedly using “flesh-colored stockings/tights” couldn’t stay hidden anymore.”
GuoGuo was nervous just now, but she didn’t expect that Cheng Youyou was actually wearing a flesh-colored tights under her skirt.
【Oh my, what is this?】
【If Cheng Youyou hadn’t pulled a layer over it, I would have thought it was bare legs.】
【It looks so real, no flaws can be seen.】
GuoGuo suddenly realized, finally understanding the clever trick female celebrities use to withstand the cold. “So, you’re wearing flesh-colored stockings?”
Cheng Youyou nodded. “Yes.”
She wore a proud expression on her face.
GuoGuo said, “I was wondering earlier, with the temperature in this room barely reaching 20 degrees, aren’t you cold with just a skirt on?”
In contrast to Cheng Youyou’s thin summer outfit, GuoGuo was wearing long pants and a jacket.
Cheng Youyou said, “Come on, feel it.”
She turned her back, GuoGuo leaned in beside her.
【What’s something that we, as online viewers, can’t see?】
【What should I feel? Tell me quickly.】
When GuoGuo turned back, her face was full of astonishment. “There’s fleece inside? But I can’t see it at all!”
【There’s fleece inside? How thick is it?】
【Can’t tell at all.】
Cheng YouYou beamed with pride. “Isn’t it amazing? This is a leg-revealing gadget that can withstand temperatures as low as 10 degrees, but it’s so thin that you can’t even tell.”
Then she chuckled mischievously. “From now on, I won’t be afraid to walk the red carpet. I even have one that can handle temperatures below 0 degrees.”
【I want these stockings.】
【I’ve never seen such effective ones!】
【I want to wear skirts in the winter too.】
【I’ve seen many leg-revealing gadgets, but none as convincingly realistic as this one.】
【Even celebrities approve, it must really be good.】
But now, chaos erupted in the livestream room. Cheng YouYou’s leg-revealing gadget suddenly appeared out of nowhere, completely disrupting their rhythm. This particular item wasn’t even on their inventory list.
The staff were in a dilemma. The celebrity they had paid a hefty sum to endorse their supermarket was now inadvertently promoting other products to the online audience during the livestream.
【Three seconds, I want all the information about this leg-revealing gadget.】
【Tell me the brand, I’ll buy it right away.】
【Its skin-like texture is even better than other brands.】
【No wrinkles at all, it looks exactly like real legs.】
GuoGuo’s attempt to regain control failed miserably. Despite her efforts to divert attention, the barrage of comments in the livestream chat was all about the flesh-colored stockings.
GuoGuo was on the verge of collapsing. Cheng Youyou leaned over to glance at the chat: “Are they asking about the brand of my leg-revealing gadget?”
【Yes, please tell us quickly.】
【I want to buy it.】
Cheng Youyou was about to speak up, but GuoGuo, in a panic, wanted to rush over to cover her mouth. She couldn’t allow their livestream room to promote products from other brands.
But it was too late. Cheng Youyou blurted out, “The brand is Mani.”
GuoGuo was regretting her delay when she suddenly perked up upon hearing the brand. “Mani’s leg-revealing gadget? The one exclusively for S Supermarket by Mani?”
Cheng You You couldn’t help but applaud. “Wow, your business acumen is truly remarkable. You figured it out in an instant.”
【Mani also makes leg-revealing gadgets?】
【Exclusive to S Supermarket?】
【I had no idea, and yet the results are this good?】
【It even makes legs look better than other leg-revealing gadgets.】
【It’s even better than those brands specialized in making stockings!】
Mani is a home goods brand that, in response to market demand, developed a leg beautifier this year. However, without any stocking by stocking distributors, it was ultimately decided by the CEO, Mr. Yu, to set up a special shelf specifically for Mani’s leg-revealing gadget and other products at Supermarket S.
In order to increase sales, the marketing department even labeled the shelf with “Exclusive to S Supermarket,” intending to attract more customers with this gimmick.
However, even with these efforts, the sales of this leg-revealing gadget remained mediocre.
Both Supermarket S and Mani had given up on this product, but who would have thought it would be brought into the public eye by Cheng Youyou?
S Supermarket’s CEO, Mr. Yu was also monitoring the live stream. As soon as he saw this, he immediately contacted the staff in the live stream room: “Quickly check the inventory, and put up the link immediately. We can’t afford to miss this opportunity.”
The staff got to work immediately upon receiving the order. As a result, the live stream suddenly featured this item, which wasn’t originally on the inventory list but was now air-dropped.
With 1000 units of the leg-revealing gadget flying off the shelves within seconds, the enthusiasm among netizens was at its peak. Even though Guoguo explained multiple times that the inventory was sold out, people kept flooding the chat with requests.
In the end, spurred by this buying frenzy, CEO Yu contacted Mani and arranged for a pre-sale link to be provided to the livestream room.
Despite this, the leg-revealing gadget sold out within seconds once again.
No one expected that the best-selling item at Supermarket S throughout the entire evening would turn out to be the leg-revealing gadget, a product that wasn’t even planned for.
Until the end of the livestream, Ding Yaxin didn’t even have a chance to appear. Not at all.
Cheng Youyou successfully completed the entire livestream.
Ding Yaxin felt frustrated. Her leg injury hadn’t healed yet, and this live stream lasted until 11 o’clock at night. With her leg in a cast, Ding Yaxin spent the entire autumn night squatting in a corner.
She was already exhausted from all the commotion, but she hadn’t seen Cheng Youyou encounter any more accidents.
As the livestream ended, the staff opened the door, and as soon as they pushed it, they accidentally knocked down Ding Yaxin who was standing at the entrance.
Their eyes met, and Ding Yaxin was dumbfounded. Now she was both embarrassed and injured. It couldn’t get any more embarrassing than this.
When she opened the door, she ran into her staff member, who happened to be a 5G internet surfing champion. She was familiar with most celebrities in the entertainment industry, even the lesser-known ones.
Upon seeing Ding Yaxin, she was quite excited. Trembling, she pointed at Ding Yaxin and said, “You, you, you! You’re a celebrity, right? Your name is…”
She thought for a moment, then said each word slowly and clearly, “Ding! Ya! Xin! Am I right?!”
Ding Yaxin felt embarrassed and wished she could find a hole to hide in.
The next moment, the staff member suddenly screamed, “Ah! Ah! Ah! Look, I’ve caught a celebrity, a live celebrity, named Ding Yaxin! Come and see, don’t let her escape!”
The livestream had already ended, and the staff were about to leave. But upon hearing the shout, everyone rushed over.
With a rush of people, Ding Yaxin felt everything go black for a moment. Suddenly surrounded by a crowd while squatting on the ground, she couldn’t help but feel extremely embarrassed.
It couldn’t get more awkward than this—it was pure social death.
The staff who first recognized Ding Yaxin were ecstatic. “How come you’re here? Could it be that you also want to be a guest on our livestream?”
It was just a casual guess, but this time, it turned out to be right.
Ding Yaxin felt even more socially awkward.
People started murmuring along with the staff’s guess.
“How could that be? We already have a guest in our livestream, it’s Cheng Youyou.”
“There’s no one more suitable than Cheng Youyou.”
“What’s all the excitement about? I want to see too,” came Cheng Youyou’s voice.
Her work was finished, and she was about to leave when she was suddenly drawn in by the crowd.
Upon hearing Cheng Youyou’s appearance, Ding Yaxin was startled and fled in a panic.
When Cheng Youyou approached, all she could see was Ding Yaxin’s back, leaning on crutches and hopping away on one leg.
Cheng Youyou was curious. “What’s going on?”
The staff enthusiastically explained, “It’s Ding Yaxin, but we don’t know why she’s here.”
Cheng Youyou watched Ding Yaxin’s figure thoughtfully for a moment. Then, after just a second of contemplation, she became excited. “Well, it’s time to clock out, bye-bye! I’m going home to unpack my deliveries!”
Cheng Youyou left, leaving behind no trace of trouble.
She had no intention of bothering to guess Ding Yaxin’s motives. Right now, she was delighted to go home and unpack the products the livestream room had just bought.
After the livestream ended, she had used her employee discount to buy quite a few items. She heard that the first batch of goods had already been delivered to her home.
Ding Yaxin returned home and it took her a few big cups of hot water to feel warm again.
Then, she opened S Supermarket’s online store and ordered a pair of leg-revealing gadgets.
After placing the order, she suddenly threw her phone in anger. “How could I be influenced by Cheng Youyou?! Why did I let her influence me?!”
She was on the verge of losing her mind, but in the end, she didn’t cancel the order.
Ding Yaxin began to reflect on herself. She realized one thing: she couldn’t just sit around and wait for things to happen anymore. She couldn’t wait for Cheng Youyou to secure a job before taking action herself.
She wants to take the initiative.
She has already figured out that she needs to seize the opportunity before Cheng Youyou gets into work.
Ding Yaxin summoned the system: 【What is Cheng Youyou’s next job?】
System: 【Once Cheng Youyou receives a job offer, I will notify you immediately.】
Ding Yaxin: 【Useless.】
The system remained quiet for a moment before adding:【If you want to know Cheng Youyou’s job in advance, that’s also possible.】
Ding Yaxin: 【What should I do?】
System: 【You’ll have to pay extra.】
Ding Yaxin couldn’t wait any longer. Her past experiences had taught her that last-minute job snatching wouldn’t work. She had to intercept Cheng Youyou before she got the job.
Ding Yaxin: 【How much? I’ll pay.】
System: 【5000 yuan.】
After Ding Yaxin transferred the money, she immediately received the firsthand information from the system.
The company behind the leg-revealing gadget, Mani, had prepared a contract and was ready to invite Cheng Youyou as their spokesperson.
And furthermore, the contract had already been sent to Cheng Youyou’s agent, Liu Meng.
On the other hand, Cheng Youyou spent the entire day at home after finishing the livestream.
She didn’t go to the supermarket, the restaurant, or the beauty salon. She didn’t spend a single penny that day.
The number of packages to unpack was indeed overwhelming.
Cheng Youyou deliberately set aside an entire day to unpack the deliveries. In between unpacking, she also received a transfer from CEO Yu of S Supermarket.
With varying amounts, totaling 175,300 yuan, with the note: commission after deducting taxes based on sales.
As Cheng Youyou unpacked the deliveries, she pondered the feasibility of continuing as a livestream host promoting products.
She realized that the quantity of products for one livestream wasn’t enough for her to purchase, especially after seeing the over 150,000 yuan she had just received as compensation. This made her feel even more convinced that she needed to do another round as a product promoter.
This was quite miraculous: despite Cheng Youyou’s relentless spending spree, her bank balance not only didn’t decrease but continued to rise.
Cheng Youyou found it equally baffling. How was it possible that she was spending more and yet her money kept increasing?
Despite Cheng Youyou staying indoors all day, she was just as exhausted as if she had gone out shopping.
The sheer volume of packages was overwhelming, and no matter how much she unpacked, there always seemed to be more.
While Cheng Youyou was immersed in the joy of unpacking her deliveries, Ding Yaxin made her move.
Ding Yaxin, using the system to learn about the endorsement fee offered to Cheng Youyou by the leg-revealing gadget company Mani, took the initiative.
She contacted the business manager of Mani through her agent and proposed a price that was only half of what Cheng Youyou was offered for the endorsement.
In order to ensure she secured the job, Ding Yaxin even personally video called the head of the business department at the leg-revealing gadget company. She appealed to them emotionally and logically, using every means to convince the Mani team.
Ding Yaxin emphasized repeatedly that the sudden popularity of the Mani leg-revealing gadget was not solely due to Cheng Youyou’s ability to promote it but rather because of the excellent quality of the product itself.
With such excellent quality, the product would perform equally well regardless of who promoted it.
While belittling Cheng Youyou, Ding Yaxin didn’t forget to praise the quality of the leg-revealing gadget. This complimentary approach immediately struck a chord with the head of the Mani business department. Combined with Ding Yaxin’s offer of an extremely low endorsement fee, this time, Ding Yaxin managed to snatch the job that Cheng Youyou was supposed to have.
Ding Yaxin felt proud of herself.
After experiencing two consecutive failures, she finally found a breakthrough.
Ding Yaxin’s contract had been signed, and she was just waiting a few days to go and shoot the advertisement for the leg-revealing gadget.
On the other side, Cheng Youyou had no idea what was happening. While she was unpacking her deliveries, she received a call from Liu Meng.
Liu Meng said, “Your job just flew away again.”
