Almost immediately, all the tech departments of Huo Chenhuan’s companies received an urgent directive – they were outsourced to ban accounts and check IP addresses of water armies for an unknown little livestream host on Onlookers.
“This… This is such an overkill!” A guileless technician murmured.
He may be soft, but in a pin-drop silent room, many heard his murmur.
The atmosphere of the office became really awkward.
From the change of facial expressions, it was clear that many were thinking the same, even though they may not have blurted it out. It was an absolute waste of their talents for them to be ordered to do things like these.
Yu Ziyan heard their hearts’ cries and chuckled. “In our boss’ eyes, anything regarding our lady boss is never an overkill. Do you understand me?”
Like a stone cast into the pond, his words caused a ripple of shock amongst the bunch of technicians who were silently upset. They immediately whispered amongst themselves.
“Lady boss?! Since when is our boss a married man? There’s no news about this at all!”
“I’ve been here for years and I’ve never met our boss before. You probably have no idea what your boss looks like, how would you know if he’s married or not?”
“Does it mean that the livestream host is our lady boss? My goodness, how are people so courageous to beard a lion in its den?!”
Yu Ziyan nodded approvingly from the reaction of everyone he saw. He waited for the commotion to die down before he added, “To be exact, she’s his fiancée. They’re getting married next month.”
“So she’s our future lady boss, then!”
“Yep.”
“Any further objections?”
“No, sir!”
“Good.” The corner of Yu Ziyan’s mouth curled up in a smile. “Those who are involved tonight will receive a raise this month, boss’ orders. Also, our lady boss whips up a mean meal, and she’s also skilled in medicinal cuisines. Those with family members that have difficult ailments can watch the lady boss’ livestream more regularly. If you’re lucky enough for the lady boss to chance upon the ailment of your choice when she’s preparing her medicinal dishes, you can let me know and I’ll grab a portion of it for you – consider it an internal employee benefit.”
The entire office erupted in cheer once Yu Ziyan was done with his speech. They were cheering happily for their pay raise, not knowing that the real treasure was the internal employee benefits that was mentioned in the latter half of his speech.
This internal employee benefit, after being included in future job advertisements, would also be the sole reason many elites in the industry would fight to join their little growing company!
The resentment from technicians gradually evaporated as they hustled extra hard after knowing that their lady boss was the victim of water armies.
After all, they were not doing it in vain. For the pay raise, they would go to infinity and beyond! Watch out, water armies and anti-fans, you do not stand a chance!
“Remember to note their IP addresses and their identity card numbers. If we’re gonna ban them, might as well completely kick them out of Onlookers.”
After hearing what Yu Ziyan had to say, an employee asked timidly, “Wouldn’t a ban of this magnitude cause a significant drop in our website traffic?”
Most livestreaming platforms would allow water armies to roam freely and for their livestream hosts to compete against each other maliciously because both water armies and hosts’ squabbles would cause a surge in website traffic, indirectly benefiting the platform.
No matter how ugly the competition would be, the livestream platform always wins.
Now that so many people were getting kicked out, water armies and passerbys alike, it was like money was being kicked out as well!
