Chapter 643: Chapter 402: Live Broadcast (Part 1)
That night, in the outskirts of Longhai City, the cold wind howled.
A building stood erect, not only brightly lit but also echoing with music, which was permissible only in these remote suburbs, otherwise, there would have been complaints about disturbing the peace long ago.
The storefront on the first floor sported a business sign, with numerous vehicles parked in front, among them many luxurious cars, indicating it was just an ordinary bar.
“Come on, come on, you’ve come this far, stop playing pure with me, it’s not like I’m asking you to sell yourself!”
A small car arrived, and two people got out, a bleached blonde young man and a pretty young girl.
“Yo!”
“Longhai, you have another deal today?”
“Longhai is awesome, practically the top salesman of the company!”
Seeing this, a few security guards at the bar entrance and parking lot started cracking jokes.
“Naturally!”
Upon hearing this, the blonde youth also boasted with a proud smile, taking the terrified looking girl into the noisy bar, but instead of heading into the crowded, high-volume main hall, they took the stairs to the second floor.
As they arrived on the second floor, the noise subsided, and the bright lights made the frightened young girl slightly more at ease.
“Come on, let’s go meet Zhang Qiang.”
Without further ado, the blonde youth led the girl to the front of an office.
“Zhang Qiang!”
“Enter!”
After knocking on the door and receiving a response, the blonde youth led the girl inside.
In the office sat a middle-aged man with a sinister expression in a boss’s chair.
It was indeed Zhang Qiang!
Zhang Qiang glanced at the blonde and then at the girl behind him: “Is this the job you were talking about?”
“Yeah, Zhang Qiang!”
Immediately, the blonde pushed the girl in front of him, lifting her face and then exhibiting her figure with his hands: “Look at this face, this body, isn’t she fresh? Dressed in a Lolita style, she could definitely become the top earner for our company, making those bosses willingly shell out money for rewards!”
“Act properly, keep your paws to yourself!”
Zhang Qiang shot the blonde a fierce glare, then turned to the panicking girl with a kindly expression, “Little sister, don’t be scared. Our company is legitimate, and we conduct genuine business. You know about live streaming, right? Just singing and dancing, nothing else.”
“I, I know!”
Although he tried to soften his tone, the girl was still visibly terrified.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang didn’t mind and said to the blonde, “Take her to register, complete the hiring process, then have Hong do the training. Aim to have her start within a week, got it?”
“Understood, Zhang Qiang!”
“…”
After meeting with Zhang Qiang, the blonde led the girl to another office on the third floor.
“Hong, we have a newcomer, Zhang Qiang asked you to process her paperwork and do the training for her.”
“Oh?”
As soon as the blonde finished speaking, a curvaceous woman in red, twisting her hips, came forward, eyeing the young girl up and down before pulling her away from the blonde: “Such a spirited young lady, not bad at all, you’re somewhat capable!”
Then, she turned to the girl with a reassuring smile, “Don’t be afraid, sister. We run a legitimate company, I will be your supervisor from now on. You can call me Hong. Come, let’s start with the paperwork and sign a labor contract.”
“Okay, okay!”
Seeing her state, the young girl calmed down and hastily signed several contracts.
“Alright, let me take you to get familiar with the work environment.”
After signing the contracts and completing the formalities, Hong, with an even brighter smile, led the young girl and the blonde out of the office to the hallway on the third floor.
“Each of these rooms is a live-streaming studio; all of our company’s employees work here.”
“This is the makeup room. There are no ugly women, only lazy ones. Our company even has professional makeup artists. Together with beauty filters, plus your natural beauty and lovely demeanor, you are guaranteed to become a top streamer for our Red Book Live, possibly even gaining huge popularity.”
“Once you become a top streamer, you can easily pay off the debts you owe and even earn a big fortune. Designer bags, earrings, necklaces, phones, computers, you can choose anything you like.”
“…”
Hong outlined the girl’s future prospects while showing her several rooms, which, unsurprisingly, all presented various live streaming scenes.
“My dear viewers, this Triangle Ocean Cleansing Moisturizing Milk is just amazing!”
“Thanks to the top gifter for the rocket, sending you a heart, love ya!”
“Not for 998, not for 668, only for 388! My dear viewers, I’ve slashed the price for you on today’s ultra-whitening mask, just 388, take home this super-whitening treat!”
“Eek eek eek, does Xiaoai sing this song well? Thanks to Kuang Tian for sending a rocket.”
“Who are you calling rare, huh? Who?!”
“Just send ten rockets, and this girl will do a Qi cosplay dance for you!”
“…”
Watching the diverse and sometimes bizarre female streamers in the live-streaming rooms, the young girl was lost for words.
“You see, right? It’s very simple, you’ll get used to it and then you can start working!”
Hong smiled, her eyes brimming with triumph.
Even though their type of energetic social group had been a deeply rooted, difficult-to-eliminate blemish for a long time, one that even the Federation could not entirely wipe out, in order to grow and avoid being targeted, they had to keep up with the times and trends.
Forcing good women into prostitution?
Selling flesh?
What era is it, to still be doing such low-end stuff?
Now is the network era, the virtual era, social groups also need to have a business mind, understand how to manage transformation.
The traditional flesh trade was risky, low in income, had high rates of illness, and seriously illegal, constantly being raided and banned by the Federation authorities, and after a few times, one might even end up losing money in the process, truly outdated to the extreme.
Now it’s different, the network era, online industry!
Being a fallen woman, where can you earn as much as being an internet celebrity livestreamer?
As a fallen woman, it’s face-to-face transactions, hard to attract customers with poor quality.
But online…
With makeup sorcery, beauty filters, even a sixty-year-old granny can transform into a youthful beauty queen, skirting the edge of selling flesh for color.
And if all else fails, there’s the tactic of virtual skinsuits. As long as you have a pleasant voice, you can easily rake in a ton of rewards. The money of those second-generation otaku is much easier to earn than that of picky punters.
Beyond that, you can also take on advertisements, live-stream product promotions, and rake in profits from all sides, even doubling up online and offline. Flesh trade remains the same, but the price difference between an internet celebrity livestreamer and an average girl is simply heaven and earth.
Those top-ranking brothers, wealthy bosses, casually throwing thousands or tens of thousands, and meeting up could easily bring in over a hundred thousand more. Moreover, it’s all under the guise of free love, reasonable and more legal.
Even if you end up exposed, with your reputation ruined and popularity lost, you can still take advantage of the situation, diving deep into the flesh trade of Great Ye to earn a fortune on another track.
The entire system, once operated, can generate profits for a livestreamer that are ten to a hundred times, or even a thousand to ten thousand times more than a common girl could earn.
What flesh trade could be better than this industry?
Therefore, their group, no, their company decisively transformed and invested in the livestreaming industry with great prospects. To this day, “Red Book TV” has a stable and mature customer base, earning massive amounts of money each month.
Along with the company’s tangible business dealings in lending, bars, real estate, and vehicles, this vibrant social group could be said to be thriving day by day. If not dominating Longhai, at least they are strong local Dragons and Snakes.
All of this can be attributed to their boss’s powerful business acumen, as well as to the hard work of their employees.
After all, their company’s livestreaming industry still has an “offline” aspect, which ordinary hosts would definitely not want to accept, but they did not want to miss out on this piece of cake.
Therefore, relying on internet loans and advanced consumer spending, young men and women became their host resources, while also promoting consumption and further developing and strengthening the company’s lending business.
Simply perfect!
Thinking this, Hong’s smile deepened, and she suddenly had a brainstorm, saying to the now-settled young girl, “There’s no day like today. I’ll take you on camera today to get familiar with the livestreaming process in advance. Do you have any talents or skills?”
“I…”
Outside the Red Book Bar, the shade of the roadside trees was dense, and black sedans would stop from time to time, acting as lookout points to monitor the surroundings, in case of an emergency.
Just at that moment…
Under the serene moonlight, amidst the chilling night wind, on the busy road, a terrifying shadow descended.
A man approached with large strides, moving with the force of a tiger, his towering figure like a mountain range, his robust physique like granite rock, his dark night clothes taut and bulging, almost splitting, his full muscles twined like Dragons and Snakes, exuding an incomparable sense of powerful force, like a heavy hammer beating on the ears of all who heard it.
Strong!!!
Forceful!!!
An unmatched power brought an immense pressure!
“!!!!”
Inside the sedan, the lookout gang members were instantly startled, chaotically shouting into the walkie-talkie, “We’ve got a situation!”
“What’s the situation?”
“Pfft!!!!”
As the questioning words were transmitted, a dull, heavy sound was heard, followed by silence.
“We’ve got a situation!”
“Quick, go and inform Zhang Qiang!”
At the entrance of the bar, several security guards were startled and hurried to act.
But at that moment, a figure approached with steps that seemed slow but fast, turning his body as if he was instantly the center of the field.
“Who?”
The few security guards’ faces changed, looking at the intruder with undisguised fear in their eyes.
Was this a man?
Or a standing grizzly bear?
Fright lasted but a moment before they snapped back to reality. Some hesitated, while others’ aggression was triggered, taking out stun guns and charging towards the figure head-on.
“I’m gonna f***…”
“Bam!!!!”
A loud bang drowned out all words. Flesh and bones flew like a cannonball, smashing into the bar’s front door, breaking through the solid wood planks and leaving a shocking hole.
“…”
“…”
“…”
“!!!!!!!”
There was a moment of deathly silence, followed by a shock to the heart. The security guards looked at the person before them, at the thick arms and huge fists, and screamed as they scattered like birds.
However…
The intruder swung a massive hand, and suddenly, cold light flashed. The fleeing guards were instantly knocked to the ground, blood rolling out beneath them, quickly forming into a warm pool.
Then, without saying another word, the man, carrying an equally huge carry-on bag, headed straight for the noisy bar.
Finally…
“Clang!”
The rolled-down metal shutter door was forcibly pulled down by a strong arm, followed by a padlock, sealing off the entrance and exit.
