ACIFITFDB – Chapter 13

Chapter 13: If You See Something You Shouldn’t…

Annie, sweating profusely, quickly responded, “Oh my, it seems our student Qin Yi is very thorough! The product selection was our staff’s mistake. We’ll investigate immediately. This item will be taken down and can no longer be filmed.”

As she spoke, she removed the product from the table and out of the camera’s view.

“Please rest assured, everyone. We will absolutely not sell you counterfeit or shoddy products. Babies, look, we’ve discovered it and will immediately remove it from the shelves. We have a conscience, but unfortunately, our product selection control was not strict this time. Annie apologizes to everyone here.”

With that, she bowed solemnly.

It had to be said that her performance this time was much more skillful than the male streamer they had encountered earlier. It not only might retain some viewers but also shaped her persona as someone who corrects mistakes and doesn’t make money with a guilty conscience.

Although she would definitely lose some fans, at least the account was saved.

But selling goods tonight was definitely out of the question.

Annie lost the mood for live selling and smiled, “Then tonight’s live stream will be changed to a chat session. Let’s chat with our handsome student Qin Yi.”

After speaking, she turned and walked away. Before leaving, she glared fiercely at an angle where the camera couldn’t see, “You better broadcast properly, or you’re dead.”

Leaving behind a verbal threat, she strode away in her high heels, leaving the room directly.

The comments in the live stream were actually more numerous than at the beginning. The excitement that had unfolded so far was much more interesting than a sales live stream. Many onlookers stayed and started sending bullet comments, asking Qin Xian and Huang Quxie questions.

【Little brother is so handsome, no beauty filter? I don’t believe it.】

Qin Xian had no intention of broadcasting properly and casually replied, “Oh, yes, fully applied.”

【As expected, it’s on? But why doesn’t it seem like it? If it’s on, why is the person next to you so dark? Is he Black?】

Huang Quxie: “…”

He usually got too much sun, so what if he was dark? But he clearly had a handsome and upright appearance, a tall, muscular build, and his wife even praised him for being incredibly secure!

【Hahaha, Huang Er is speechless. You’re handsome too. I love muscular uncle types like you. Want me to wipe you down?】

Huang Quxie glanced at this bullet comment. “Thank you, Guagua123, for calling me handsome, but what do you mean by ‘wipe’?”

Qin Xian couldn’t help but chuckle.

Huang Quxie immediately became more agitated, turned to Qin Xian, and said, “Hey! You’re laughing at me, aren’t you? Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’re good-looking.”

Qin Xian’s expression instantly became poker-faced, and he didn’t reply.

But his smile was still captured by netizens.

【Wow, so good-looking! Even as a man, I find him quite attractive.】

【Little brother Qin Yi, are you dating?】

【What’s handsome guy’s height? What’s his zodiac sign? How old is he? What are his hobbies? What kind of clothes do you like to see me wear?】

Qin Xian: “…”

【Alas, such a good-looking guy, it’s a shame he doesn’t have a mouth.】

【Don’t try to create a cold, aloof persona. You’re doing live streams, what’s with the aloofness? Useless.】

Qin Xian: “…”

Huang Quxie glanced at Qin Xian, wanting to see how he would handle it. To his surprise, the handsome guy’s attention had already drifted outside the window, seemingly listening to a conversation from outside.

Isn’t he supposed to be learning how to do live streams? This attitude doesn’t seem right.

Seeing that some people in the comment section were starting to get dissatisfied, Huang Quxie had to take on all the burden himself and began to use his eloquence to banter with netizens.

Qin Xian’s attention became increasingly focused on outside the door. He vaguely heard Annie calling Aunt Zhou and complaining to her.

“Aunt Zhou! Where did you find these people? You’ve ruined me!”

“What? What’s all the fuss about? Have you completed this month’s quota? Do you know the consequences if you don’t?”

“I… I know. I’ll complete it… But these two newcomers have almost destroyed my live stream! They started by saying the product had problems, directly causing a live stream accident. I can’t sell anything today, so I have to take it all down…”

“…Is that so? Let me go into the live stream and see what’s going on. After the stream ends, bring them both to my office.”

“Yes, Aunt Zhou. These newcomers are ignorant. You must punish them severely. Uh… I didn’t sell anything today, can you be a little lenient with my quota?”

“Impossible. You can start another live stream at midnight. Just change the product.”

“Aunt Zhou, I’ve already been live for sixteen consecutive hours…”

“Don’t waste my time! Get out!”

…”Damn it, damn it, damn it! If I don’t complete the quota, will I be sent back to the Edge-pushing Group? I finally managed to climb to the E-commerce Streaming Group… Those two scoundrels should be sent to the Beggar Group!”

Qin Xian, listening to Annie’s curses, successfully obtained a piece of useful information.

This live streaming factory seemed to have different groups and hierarchies. The E-commerce Streaming Group seemed to be a group with good treatment, while the Beggar Group was the worst.

The live streaming content of each group was also easy to guess. The Edge-pushing Group was likely responsible for risqué or even pornographic live streams. The Beggar Group… was very likely for those who, whether true or not, were disabled or critically ill, selling their misery to gain sympathy and profit from netizens.

The client’s older brother might be in this group, and this group was definitely the most dangerous place.

Thinking of this, Qin Xian became even more determined to slack off. He leaned back comfortably in his chair, interacting with netizens as he pleased. When he was thirsty, he walked out of the camera’s view to get water, and when he was hungry, he stuffed snacks into his mouth, practically wearing the words “passive resistance” on his forehead.

Huang Quxie’s lips were getting worn out, and his mouth was dry.

When he turned around and saw Qin Xian so leisurely, he also didn’t want to work anymore.

“I want water and snacks too! I want to slack off too!”

He threw a sentence to the audience and also ran out of the screen to bring back two bottles of water and a pile of drinks. He started eating and drinking on camera.

However, all this commotion actually made the live stream more lively.

【Good heavens, slacking streamers, I’m following. This is exactly like my attitude at work.】

【This is so interesting. Will it be you guys tomorrow? If so, I’ll follow.】

【Qin Yi, Qin Yi, I’m sending you a gift. Say something!】

Qin Xian: “…”

What do netizens like now? Why did the number of viewers increase by doing this?

But he didn’t want to help this live stream gain fans.

“You guys chat, I’m going to the restroom. It’ll probably take a long time, more than half an hour.”

After saying that, he stood up under Huang Quxie’s stunned gaze and directly pushed the door open.

Huang Quxie was dumbfounded. This was too much freedom!

But he was also very impressed. The courage to just quit when dissatisfied with work was truly admirable for a working person…

However, it was too boring to do a solo performance in the live stream. Huang Quxie looked at the screen, then at the door, and finally, amidst a string of question marks in the comment section, he directly said goodbye and ended the stream.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Are you sick!” The man guarding the door immediately yelled angrily.

“There are still two hours until the end of the stream, and you’re just turning it off. If the account loses followers, how will you compensate? Damn it! You don’t know the rules, do you? I’ll kill you!!”

The man furiously rolled up his sleeves and lunged directly at Qin Xian’s face.

Qin Xian was about to make a move when Huang Quxie behind him rushed out first, his imposing figure blocking Qin Xian completely.

The opponent’s fist hit his chest, but he didn’t make a sound. Instead, he clenched his fist and pushed the man back two steps with his hand.

Huang Quxie said in a low voice, “What are you doing? Want to fight?”

The man, seeing Huang Quxie who was at least two heads taller than him, cautiously stepped back.

His fist was numb, but the other person was completely fine.

“Damn it, you two remember this. As long as you want to make a living here, I won’t let you have an easy time.” The man muttered viciously, letting them pass with a sense of grievance.

But Annie suddenly appeared at the door, her heavy makeup making her look like a ghost in the dim light.

Her sharp voice rang out, “Heh heh, they won’t have an easy time. Aunt Zhou wants me to take you to her office.”

Seeing this, the man’s face immediately lit up. “You’re in trouble. I wish you a slower death, bye-bye.”

Qin Xian glanced at him sideways, his gaze making the man shiver and swallow all his subsequent curses.

Huang Quxie snorted coldly and followed Qin Xian towards Aunt Zhou’s office.

Led by Annie, the two slowly ascended the stairs.

Starting from the third floor, the villa’s decoration changed, with luxurious decorations and furniture everywhere.

A red carpet was laid out in the middle of the staircase. The owner seemed to want to transform the villa into a European castle, but the villa’s staircase was not as grand as a castle’s. With the carpet, it looked more like a KTV corridor.

However, it directly revealed the owner’s character: a nouveau riche with limited vision and vanity.

This nouveau riche was currently standing on the fourth floor, watching them. He had two more rings on his hands, but they still couldn’t hide the marks left by manual labor.

Annie was very afraid of Aunt Zhou, and after bringing them there, she immediately left.

“Oh my, you two really know how to stir up trouble. Are you here to cause chaos?” Aunt Zhou said with a creepy smile, “For your first live stream, you’ve already offended several bosses for me?”

Qin Xian returned a smile and said calmly, “Isn’t this helping you? Selling counterfeit and shoddy products, what if the audience discovers they’ve been deceived and it causes public outcry online? Wouldn’t your reputation be ruined then?”

“Heh heh.” Aunt Zhou said with a fake smile, “Then the income from this live stream, you two will compensate?”

Qin Xian replied, “I saw that the account’s follower count increased by at least two thousand tonight. With more followers, won’t subsequent sales bring in more? Don’t you know? Netizens nowadays like authentic personas.”

Aunt Zhou’s smile disappeared, and she stared at the two of them menacingly.

After a while, she finally spoke, “Fine, then I’ll see how far you two can go. If you two don’t sell eight million orders this month, I’ll have you try another live streaming job.”

As she spoke, she smiled again, revealing all her yellow teeth.

“Someone, take them to the dormitory. Oh, and don’t wander around the dormitory. Don’t look around or eavesdrop. If you see something you shouldn’t… you might not feel very comfortable…”
