The number of fans in Xia Xue's livestream was skyrocketing, already reaching an astonishing 500,000 and still climbing wildly.

Its popularity erupted like an avalanche, and the livestream had already appeared on the trending list.

Based on the advantages Zhao Min had described, it meant the phone system performed better than other mobile operating systems.

If it was true, this was absolutely huge news.

Mobile operating systems had always been a weakness for domestic phones. The systems currently used by domestic phones were mainly Android, while YUN OS was barely hanging on in the mobile phone market.

Now that a domestic system had emerged, it was exciting news.

Some reporters had already thought up their headlines.

"Strongest Domestic Mobile Phone System?" "Shocking! Domestic Mobile Phone Systems Have These Advantages."

Any one of those headlines would surely draw plenty of clicks.

Li Tiejun was frantically writing his article. Ant Army Company's phone was simply too powerful. He regretted not preparing properly earlier. Once this news was released, it would definitely make headlines.

Suddenly, his phone's vibration interrupted him. Putting on his headset, Li Tiejun answered the call. "Editor-in-Chief, what is it?"

"Tiejun, are you at Ant Army Company's launch event?"

"Yeah."

"Send the article back immediately. I'll notify Wang Qi and have him send the video footage back."

"Did something happen?" Li Tiejun asked quietly, covering his headset.

"Don't you know? Someone at the launch event is livestreaming on Weibo. It's trending on Weibo now. Hurry and send it back so we can publish first and ride the wave."

"It's trending already?" Li Tiejun's heart skipped a beat.

"Hurry up."

After hanging up, Li Tiejun hurriedly organized his nearly finished article and sent it back to the Editor-in-Chief.

Then he immediately took out his phone and opened Weibo.

Sure enough, keywords related to domestic mobile phone systems had already made the trending list. Though they had only just appeared, their popularity was still rising.

"Who the hell was clever enough to livestream on Weibo?" Li Tiejun craned his neck and began looking around.

It was not just Li Tiejun. Other reporters and media workers were also being urged to submit their articles and update the news immediately.

Xia Xue glanced at her livestream page and jumped when she saw the number of followers. The number of viewers was already nearing 800,000, and it was still rising.

The number of people sending tips was changing as well. When Xia Xue saw the amount of donations, she was nearly moved to tears. Those tips would probably cover half a year of her living expenses.

She had never seen numbers this insane before. For the first time, she truly experienced it firsthand.

When she turned the camera back to herself, the comments instantly went crazy, with 666 flooding the screen.

"I want to see Yujie."

"Give me back the domineering female CEO..."

"I want that phone! Can someone tell me when it goes on sale? My hands have been hungry for it for ages."

"Pretty streamer, hurry up and show us the long-legged CEO."

Xia Xue looked at the comments with laughter and tears. Before she could even read many of them carefully, they had already been swallowed up by the flood.

Zhao Min had no idea that a small livestream had already pushed the launch event onto the trending list. The introduction to the phone's features was nearing its end, and next came the most important part: the price.

"The first batch of phones will go on sale tomorrow at ten o'clock, all through online sales. Specific pricing will be announced on the official website."

After introducing the phone's pricing, Zhao Min paused and swept her gaze across the room. "That concludes the product introduction for this launch event. Next is the Q&A session. If anyone has any questions, you may ask me."

The moment Zhao Min finished speaking, more than half of the media personnel raised their hands.

"The gentleman in the front row wearing black-framed glasses." Zhao Min pointed at Li Tiejun below the stage.

Li Tiejun took the microphone and stood up from his seat, smiling at Zhao Min. "Hello, Ms. Zhao. I'm a reporter from the Global Times."

After organizing his thoughts, Li Tiejun spoke.

"May I ask how much your company spent on R&D for this phone system? Will your company license the waterproof port technology to others? The domestic mobile phone market is full of competitors. What do you believe is your company's advantage?"

"Thank you for your question. It's a very sharp one," Zhao Min said.

"As for R&D funding, that is confidential for now. Regarding the waterproof port, we will license it externally. Any interested companies are welcome to discuss cooperation with us. Our core technology, along with our technology and hardworking employees, are our greatest advantages."

As Zhao Min answered, the reporters below frantically wrote their articles. This was firsthand news, and none of them dared to slack off.

"Next, the second gentleman from the right in the third row."

"Hello, I'm a reporter from IT Home. Based on the performance you just introduced, do you mean that the Army Ant System is superior to both Android and the Apple System?"

"That's quite an interesting question. It's like placing three beautiful women in front of you, one of whom is your girlfriend, then asking which one is the prettiest. Which one would you say is the prettiest?"

Zhao Min's counterquestion drew soft laughter from the audience.

Question after question was asked, and everything the reporters wanted to know—and could know—was contained in Zhao Min's answers.

Xia Xue stared at the livestream screen on her phone and blinked.

"If I had the chance to ask a question, what would you want to ask?"

The moment she said that, the bullet comments in the livestream exploded.

"Measurements!"

"Leg length!"

"Bullshit, ask for her contact info."

"You bunch of wolves, get lost. Ask what her standards are for choosing a boyfriend. Keep the formation—I'll tip ten thousand for this question."

Insanely rich.

Money to burn.

A bold declaration from a tycoon.

As soon as one fan posted that comment, a flood of "insanely rich" and 666s filled the screen, drowning out all other messages.

The screen full of questions about boyfriend standards left Xia Xue conflicted. Asking that in this setting would definitely be too abrupt. But after hesitating for a while, Xia Xue raised her hand high and waved it several times in the air.

"The last question goes to the lady in the back row who's waving." Xia Xue's waving arm immediately caught Zhao Min's attention.

"She actually picked me." Xia Xue beamed. "Give me some courage to ask about her standards for a boyfriend."

The instant Xia Xue said that, the screen was flooded with luxury yachts, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris, along with flowers and all sorts of gifts.

"Insanely rich" was instantly spammed across the screen.

The microphone quickly made its way into Xia Xue's hands. After taking it, she aimed her phone's livestream at Zhao Min and stood up from her seat.

Everyone turned to look at Xia Xue. Seeing the phone in her hand, some people who had received the news finally realized that this was the woman livestreaming the press conference on Weibo.

"Hello, President Zhao. I'm a self-media creator. I'm currently livestreaming this press conference on Weibo. The senior reporters before me have already asked most of the professional questions. My livestream viewers asked me to ask one on their behalf. Do you currently have a boyfriend or someone you like? What are your standards for choosing a boyfriend?"

After asking, Xia Xue mischievously stuck out her tongue and looked toward Zhao Min. The others chuckled and all turned their attention to Zhao Min.

Many of them had already asked some pointless questions earlier, because they already knew what they were supposed to know, while Zhao Min would not reveal what they were not supposed to know.

This question instantly lightened the atmosphere at the press conference.

Onstage, Zhao Min's eyelid twitched before she smiled and casually glanced toward the corner where Chen Mo sat.

"That's a personal question unrelated to the press conference, but I can answer it. Everyone knows about that handsome guy in Bin Hai City who saved a baby some time ago, right?

I was there at the time, and I ran into him again afterward. Unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend. I hope my future boyfriend will be a man like that—upright, brave, and ambitious."

Sitting in the corner, Chen Mo covered his face with a wry smile. She was obviously teasing him.

The livestream chat erupted at that answer.

"She's talking about me. I'm straight."

"It's me. I helped an old lady cross the street last time. My dream is to go from bricklayer to contractor. That's absolutely ambition."

"She's my future wife! None of you are allowed to fight me for her."

"Pay attention to the prerequisite: first, you have to be handsome..."
