Chapter 791: Birth Of A Retirement Lifestyle Streamer! (4)
Translator: Lordbluefire
Chu Cichen immediately spoke through the phone, ‘Someone has come, I’ll be hanging up.’
The furious cursing of Dugu Xiao came through, ‘What the hell, I was looking for 518, and you…’
Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Cichen interrupted him.
Chu Cichen walked to the door, opened it, and saw Xiao Yi standing at the entrance. When Chu Cichen saw this male streamer, his gaze slightly darkened. ‘What, are you here to chase Jingjing again?’
Every time this male streamer came to see Shen Ruojing, Chu Cichen had to say a few words that left a very bad impression of him.
Xiao Yi choked for a moment.
Then he coughed and smiled. ‘No, no, I was just joking with everyone earlier. Please don’t mind.’
Chu Cichen continued to look at him.
Xiao Yi didn’t understand why he felt so nervous facing two ordinary people when he was a popular internet celebrity. However, he quickly organized his words, explained the bet he made with the people in the live broadcast room, and tentatively said, ‘I didn’t expect the live broadcast to be so successful today, so I wanted to invite you both to join me in the live stream. You can open a separate account, and the profit from the account can be split fifty-fifty… or seventy-thirty with the company. Is that okay?’
As he spoke about business, Xiao Yi became more lively.
He smiled and said, ‘You’ve spent quite a bit on medical expenses, right? You can’t just rely on sitting idle. We can give it a try, and if it takes off, it can also provide some extra income for your household… and besides…’
Xiao Yi had prepared a lot to say, but he heard Chu Cichen speak up, ‘Okay.’
Xiao Yi,”?”
He wanted to say something more, but Chu Cichen continued, ‘However, our account won’t involve selling products or doing promotions. We’ll only share daily life. If you agree, we can proceed.’
Chu Cichen only wanted to show off his unbreakable bond with Shen Ruojing to the world. He didn’t care about the little money from the live stream.
But he understood that having Xiao Yi help with the broadcasting would attract more initial fans.
And by signing with Xiao Yi’s studio, even though he wouldn’t earn any money, it would bring popularity to Xiao Yi’s studio.
It was a win-win situation.
As a businessman, Chu Cichen had thought it through.
Xiao Yi was at a loss, ‘If you don’t earn money, how will you have income?’
Chu Cichen was about to say something, but Xiao Yi understood, ‘I see. Selling products is indeed too tiring and not suitable for your recovery. In that case, let’s do this, our studio will give you a fixed salary. This way, it won’t affect your retirement.’
Chu Cichen wanted to decline, thinking that he couldn’t care less about Xiao Yi’s meager salary.
However, he didn’t expect Xiao Yi to say directly, ‘That’s settled then. We’ll give you twenty thousand per month. Is that alright? I’ll go back now and create an account for you. We’ll start the live stream tonight!’
After shouting, Xiao Yi ran back to his room.
Chu Cichen, “…”
Shen Ruojing walked out from behind him and looked at Chu Cichen, asking, “Why suddenly think of doing a live stream?”
Chu Cichen coughed, “I have nothing else to do anyway, so let’s give it a try.”
Shen Ruojing had no objections to this decision as long as it didn’t affect her retirement.
Moreover, during their free time, they could simply set up a support stand and put up a phone. There wouldn’t be any subsequent work, which was great.
On the other side, Xiao Yi returned to his room and called the people in his studio, informing them about the agreement with the neighbor.
“The members of the studio immediately said, ‘Xiao Yi, isn’t the monthly salary of twenty thousand too high? What if their popularity is just temporary and quickly declines? Besides, it’s difficult to start a new account now as the live streaming industry is already saturated.’
However, Xiao Yi replied, ‘It’s fine. They’ve been through a lot, so let’s consider it as helping them.’
In reality, twenty thousand viewers occasionally entering the live stream room wasn’t considered a large number.
The studio members continued, ‘But in that case, we’ll be at a huge loss. Xiao Yi, they don’t promote products or accept advertisements, so there’s hardly any income. Although there’s some initial popularity in the morning, where can you find such broadcasters now? Moreover, as you’ve seen in the past few months, live streams about retirement life don’t have much future because the repetitive daily life is boring… and the traffic is poor…’
Xiao Yi interrupted them directly, ‘Alright, they’re a couple facing medical expenses, so let’s consider it as my sponsorship. The salary we give them can be deducted from my income. Is that fine?’
Only then did the studio members close their mouths.
Xiao Yi rubbed his temples with a headache.
The fact that he had a team was well-known on the internet. The reason he came here to shoot a retirement live stream was due to a disagreement with the retirement team members.
The team had always focused on money, always talking about traffic and earnings. However, Xiao Yi actually wanted to do something meaningful, but he hadn’t figured out what yet.
The studio’s efficiency was high, and they quickly set up a new account.
Xiao Yi gave Chu Cichen the privilege to choose the account name.
Shen Ruojing wasn’t interested in such matters, so Chu Cichen took care of the name selection.
Chu Cichen chose a mysterious name and prepared to start the live stream in the evening.
Time quickly passed, and it was now evening.
The members of Xiao Yi’s team stared at the live stream data, each of them feeling a bit sigh-worthy.
They didn’t understand why Xiao Yi valued his neighbors across the hall like this. The topic of retirement was simply not popular, right?
They exchanged glances, and a hint of mocking smile flashed in their eyes. “Forget it, let’s consider it as Xiao Yi doing charity.”
Then, they started the live stream….
