Chapter 171 – 171: Platform Event, Celebrity Interactions?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Pushing open the door of the funeral shop, Li Yidao quietly placed the briefcase on the counter.
Inside was one million, a thank-you fee from Wei Wenqiang.
Li Yidao had initially hesitated to accept it, but Wei Wenqiang called the old man on the spot, resulting in him taking the money back.
Reclining on the familiar recliner, reflecting on Qian Qiangyu’s final decision, Li Yidao fell into silence.
Right or wrong, who could guarantee that they wouldn’t make mistakes?
Regardless of whether one’s actions were right or wrong, with this final decision, everything became unimportant.
With his passing, all things would scatter with the wind.
In contemplation, at some point, Li Yidao drifted into a light sleep.
“Ring, ring, ding, ding…”
The sudden ringtone stirred Li Yidao, prompting him to open his eyes. He picked up his phone and saw an unknown number, furrowing his brow.
Answering the call, he said, “Hello?”
“Hello, is it Brother Dao speaking?” came a girl’s voice from the other end. Li Yidao paused for a moment. “I’m Li Yidao. Who is this?”
The voice on the other end seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. “Hello, Brother
Dao. I’m from the platform’s operations department.”
She explained further, “We have a large interactive program coming up on our platform soon. We will be inviting some of the currently popular celebrities as well as some of our top streamers to participate in an interactive mode.”
“Your current fan base on the platform is already quite impressive, so we’d like to invite you to join this event. Would that be possible?” Platform operations department? Joining an event?
Li Yidao subconsciously considered declining.
With so many unresolved matters and a lack of information about his little sister, Li Yinuo, he questioned the sense of participating in any event now.
“I’m sorry, but I…” he began, preparing to decline the offer outright.
But at this moment, the caller hurriedly spoke up. “Brother Dao, please don’t rush to decline.”
She explained further, “The tip amounts from this event, after deducting the streamer’s share, will all be donated directly to a charity organization. Moreover, if the total tip amount reaches a certain level, we will even establish a foundation.
“The tips you receive during the event can also be donated, or you can choose to keep them. If you decide to donate, you’ll receive a charity ambassador badge, which will permanently appear next to your platform account.”
“And it’s precisely because of this that we’ve invited many currently famous celebrities to participate.”
“So, Brother Dao, could you please consider it? This event genuinely needs your support due to your popularity.”
Charity?
Li Yidao had stopped himself from voicing his reservations. To be honest, he wasn’t very thrilled about this somewhat morally coercive approach from the other side.
Nevertheless, if the event had this charitable nature, he could participate to some extent.
“What are the specific details of the event?”
Upon hearing Li Yidao’s inquiry about the event details, Xiaowen’s lips curved into a smile.
Suppressing her inner excitement, she explained, “This event is quite simple, actually. We’ve invited celebrity guests to interact randomly with our streamers. ”
“We’ll have someone managing it, and if Brother Dao really wants to interact with a particular guest, we can make arrangements for that!”
It was a straightforward rule. There would be one or more celebrities each day to interact with a few people.
This format would be maintained for about a week or even half a month, which should help boost the interest of the viewers.
Li Yidao pondered for a moment and then said, “Alright.”
“But I’m not sure when I’ll be able to go live. If I can’t make it, consider me not taking part.”
“No problem, it’s all based on your schedule, Brother Dao,” Xiaowen agreed without hesitation.
After all, they planned to hold this event for two weeks.
They had invited over twenty currently popular celebrities.
Minus any unforeseen events, maintaining the event’s popularity for half a month wouldn’t be an issue.
The platform’s team had already planned everything in advance. The celebrities’ roles and interaction times naturally varied.
Regarding Li Yidao’s role, to be honest, in the eyes of the entire platform community, his influence was even greater than that of many celebrities.
After all, even for some of the most popular celebrities today, they couldn’t guarantee having millions of viewers during a single livestream. However, for Li Yidao, such numbers were just another day at the office.
Li Yidao continued, “Alright, let’s go with that. Contact me when the event begins, and if I’m available at that time, I’ll go live.”
“Okay, Brother Dao. The event is expected to start in three days. I’ll get in touch with you, and if you’re available, you can go live.”
“By the way, our boss mentioned that during the event, the platform won’t charge any fees on your livestream earnings. Whether you want to withdraw them or make donations, or even donate a portion, it’s entirely up to you.”
“I understand, ” Li Yidao’s tone was calm. It was clear that he wasn’t particularly concerned about the revenue sharing.
“Alright, Brother Dao, I won’t bother you further.”
“By the way, Brother Dao, if you have the time, it would be great if you could do a livestream.”
“Truth be told, if you don’t go live soon, our platform’s customer service
hotline will be flooded with calls from your fans.”
Xiaowen sounded somewhat helpless.
She hadn’t been exaggerating at all.
If Li Yidao didn’t do a livestream, his fans were likely to overwhelm the platform’s customer service lines.
Apart from leaving messages on Li Yidao’s homepage, the platform was the only way to contact him, so the customer service team was suffering a lot during this period.
After ending the call, Li Yidao looked outside at the night that had already enveloped everything. He stretched lazily.
“Stomach growls”
His stomach rumbled.
Instinctively, he glanced over at Sister Zhou and the other staff members.
Hmmm… It seemed like the cafeteria was closed today. Ordering takeout was probably the way to go.
Li Yidao ordered a long-missed dish of braised pork trotters rice. Then, after a moment’s thought, he decided to start a livestream.
Having a casual chat with his audience was always a good idea.
Observing the interesting comments from his fans was also a way to relax…
As for Sister Zhou and Li Xinting at this moment, they weren’t around.
In fact, they were currently on a bus heading to the countryside.
The reason for this trip was Li Xinting’s hometown.
The reason for going back was because one of Li Xinting’s best friends, or rather, a friend as close as a sister, was getting married.
Normally, a wedding is a joyous occasion. However, this friend’s wedding was a tragedy.
Li Xinting wasn’t going to offer her blessings. She was going to break up a marriage that shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
She was going to help her friend escape!
The reason she used the word “escape” was because, without exaggeration, her friend had been essentially sold by her parents.
Well, not her biological parents, but her adoptive parents.
Her friend even said it was to repay the kindness of her upbringing. After this wedding, both sides would have no more obligations.
At the time, this made Li Xinting so angry that she stamped her foot.
But her friend remained steadfast in her decision.
Li Xinting even offered her money to repay this so-called kindness, but her friend refused!
It left her speechless!
But she couldn’t stand by and watch her friend destroy her life.
In the end, she had no choice but to go in person.
After all… that was her best friend.
They were like sisters, and more than that, she even saved her life..
