His words had not yet finished when Chi Gui replied, "Whether or not the Chi Family sponsors ’world’ team, that depends on them—I’m not qualified to decide for them."
Chi Mingkun was taken aback.
He had initially thought that due to Chi Gui’s dislike of the Chi Family, she would definitely reject the offer outright.
But unexpectedly, she separated business from personal grudges so clearly.
With a long sigh, Chi Mingkun picked up his cellphone and stood up, heading toward the study.
After Chi Gui got the live streaming account and password, she clicked on Lu You’s avatar, "Can you do me a favor?"
Lu You and Kyle were having a meal when they saw Chi Gui’s message—one almost dropped his phone into the soup due to a hand tremor.
He could no longer care about his meal, hastily replying, "This is the first time you’re asking me for a favor!! Just say it! For the sake of this memorable first time, I won’t refuse!"
She briefly explained the situation with Weibo.
Besides Lu You, the ’world’ team was composed entirely of foreigners who naturally didn’t follow Huaxia’s Weibo.
Lu You, who was so busy and mainly focused on overseas development, typically didn’t check Weibo either.
Now, hearing Chi Gui’s story, he opened Weibo—and became so angry that he almost sprayed his noodles from his nose!
"What’s the deal with Lucine?" he slapped the table hard, "Who wants to ride on her popularity? Her so-called popularity is so insignificant that I wouldn’t even bother to step on it!"
"What happened?" Kyle, who couldn’t understand Chinese, asked in confusion.
The drivers at the other tables also looked over.
Lu You translated the content of the Weibo posts into English for everyone.
Everyone was full of question marks: "We’ve got international rankings in the top ten and twenty waiting here, and isn’t each of us more popular than someone ranked thirtieth? Does Coach Chi need to leech off that?"
Gustav, who had just joined the team and was ranked fortieth: ...
He sadly closed his mouth.
"I’ll have someone draft a streaming contract right now," Kyle said, finishing his meal in a few bites, "After signing the contract this afternoon, we can officially announce it."
Although they were in intensive training, they would still record little snippets of their daily life to interact with their fans every day.
Switching to live streaming wouldn’t cause any disruptions.
Lu You nodded, replying to Chi Gui: "Of course no problem, we can sign the contract this afternoon!"
Only then did she put down her phone and start eating. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novｅlfire.net
Fu Si had been quietly waiting by her side all the while and only began to pick up his chopsticks when Chi Gui started her meal, casually remarking, "If you need any help, just let me know."
"No need," Chi Gui replied indifferently, "It’s just a small matter."
He paused for a moment: "I can help with small things too."
Chi Gui then looked up at him, "Are you that idle?"
He was having a tough time.
After listening to Chi Yan’s proposition, Chi Changjing rubbed his temples with a headache.
The most urgent need for the Chi Family at the moment was to sponsor a popular show, leveraging the show’s popularity to recuperate the company’s rapidly declining reputation.
Yet he had almost begged all of the previous partners and failed to find a suitable opportunity.
Sponsoring a program of mediocre effect was useless even if they did so, and slightly better programs didn’t lack investors—they didn’t need to cooperate with a company that had just been involved in a scandal.
Now, Chi Yan proposed that her Professor Li might help them get in touch with a health-themed program that was somewhat popular among the elderly demographic.
Sponsoring such a program had hardly any benefits, but for the Chi Family at the present, there was no other choice.
