You know your food

"You're too kind Boss Xu!"

"Director Xu is being modest!"

"Boss Xu is still the best!"

"No, no, no, it has to be Director Xu's tough!"

"Let's stop arguing. I wish our production team continued success and strength!"

In the early morning, many staff members were still sleepy and could barely keep their eyes open when they looked up and saw Xu Yi and Boss Xu chatting and laughing. They were instantly startled, thinking that Xu Yi was still asleep.

What's going on?

Is this still the same Boss Xu always had a sour face and would curse even a passing dog? How come he's been treated like a gentle breeze?

Even an iron lion can laugh? Does that mean the sun has risen in the west?

And it wasn't just the staff who were shocked.

[Shock Points +100]

[Negative emotions +100]

"Holy crap, isn't Xu Chu supposed to be Poor Bro? How come they're actually flattering each other?"

"Brothers, this is a high-level game, let's learn from it!"

"No way? No way? Am I the only Poor Bro?"

"College students, this is high-end business communication! What are you waiting for? Start learning it now!"

In the Livestream Room morning, before even the dogs were awake, the college students rushed into the Livestream Room, intending to hurl a few insults at Xu Yi to wake him up. Little did they expect to be shocked by Xu Yi's antics.

Watching the fluctuating Emotion Points, Xu Yi smiled slightly, thinking to himself that it was just micro-management, what was so shocking about?

Are you really so easily satisfied just because the Boss said a few nice words?

These college students are indeed simple-minded and adorably naive; they're already satisfied with just the promises made by the Boss!

"Xiao Xu, I hope you'll keep up the good work. I have other things to attend to..."

Having said his nice words enough, Boss Xu was about to leave when a large hand landed on his shoulder.

"Boss Xu, are you playing dumb with me? At least other people who visit the set bring some lunch, and you're really just going to say a few nice words and leave?"

Xu Yi swiftly moved to block Boss Xu's car, then with a wave of his hand, pulled a group of staff members in front of Boss Xu.

You think you can just show off and run away?

Is it that easy?

"This is the cost of yesterday's dinner, plus the drinks!"

[Negative emotions +100]

"This is the overtime pay for yesterday's extra hours!"

[Negative emotions +200]

"This is a PR fee they're paying me to piggyback on my popularity."

[Negative emotions +500]

With each word Xu Yi spoke, Boss Xu's expression stiffened a little more.

Oh my, you actually dare to have a temper?

Xu Yi pulled out his trump card!

"Boss Xu, if you don't allocate more funding, I think this show might as well not be made!"

[Negative emotions +900]

Boss Xu inwardly groaned, but his legs went weak, and he almost knelt before Xu Yi.

"Director Xu, please stop talking. I'll add more investment, okay? Just tell me how much money you need, and I'll sell everything I own to make it happen!"

Boss Xu was on the verge of tears, wishing he could slap himself twice.

This guy surnamed Xu looks young, but he's not easy to fool!

He thought he could easily flatter this kid with a few nice words and make him work like a slave for him.

Little did he expect that this kid's smooth combo almost blew his life savings out of him.

"Six hundred and sixty-six! I've only ever seen Boss threaten employees, this is the first time I've ever seen Boss kneel down before an employee!"

"This is absolutely reversing the Heavenly Principles!"

"To be fair, Xu Chu's demands aren't unreasonable. This show had practically no presence before. Since Xu Chu took over, whether the impact is good or bad, at least it's gained attention. How can we tolerate not increasing investment now?"

Huh?

Who is this investment guru with such insightful vision, thinking of the same thing as me?

Xu Yi glanced at the comments section briefly and almost cried with emotion.

Everyone else thought he was greedy for money, but only this brother saw through his true intentions.

Money?

He's Rich Bro, after all; would he even care about this little bit of money?

"Director Xu, here's three million yuan, it's truly my most treasured money!"

Three million?

Those rich people who are like that are really powerful!

I shouldn't have been so polite to him!

Xu Yi remained silent and casually put the check away.

"Director Xu, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"

Boss Xu was trembling with fear and didn't want to stay a moment longer.

"Boss Xu, cheer up! The money you invest now will eventually pay off. The show has huge potential. Just look at my Livestream Room; it's full of the most discerning and promising viewers. If they like it, the general public will definitely like it even more!"

You've already invested the money, why are you still looking so long-faced?

Give me a laugh!

Xu Yi remained blocking the car, preventing Boss Xu from leaving.

Just kidding, he's a newcomer to the Entertainment Industry, needing connections more than money. This Boss Xu is a treasure; he won't let him go unless he squeezes out every last drop of value.

Boss Xu was cornered by Xu Yi and dared not say anything harsh, so he could only watch Xu Yi's Livestream Room.

"That damn Xu Yi is actually trying to suck up to us brothers! We have to expose him, we can't let him get away with it!"

"Who said we're brothers? We're all well-mannered college students, like the rising sun at eight or nine in the morning!"

"I think Xu Chu is right, this program has great potential and a very bright future (50 cents per post, please delete the text in parentheses)!"

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Boss Xu's forehead.

Abstract!

That's so abstract!

Are these the most well-mannered audience members?

Can a show by featuring a young person like this really attract advertisers?

"You guys are actually sabotaging me?"

Seeing the commotion in the live chat, Xu Yi snorted coldly.

This little Livestream Viewers dares to undermine him; he's really ignorant of his own limitations!

"So what if I sabotage you? Who told you not to show us the perks before?"

"You won't even give your brothers a single benefit, and you expect them to help you? Xu Yi, you're dreaming!"

The Livestream Viewers chuckled.

This Boss Xu clearly hasn't experienced the internet revolution. Seeing how abstract their approach is, he's unlikely to increase his investment further; in fact, he'll probably ruin his previous investments as well.

The brothers are still suffering, and Xu Yi has actually gone to become a despicable rich man? How can this be allowed?

However, seeing everyone undermining him, Xu Yi smiled slightly and made his move directly!

"Tofu pudding must be sweet, zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) must be savory, spicy soup must have a nutritional supplement added, houttuynia cordata must be grown nationwide, and cilantro must be added to the bowl..."

[Shock Points +100]

[Shock Points +200]

[Shock Points +999]

The comment section fell silent for a moment after that one sentence, then erupted in screams.

"Xu Yi, you bastard! How can tofu pudding be sweet? It has to be savory!"

"Why is tofu pudding savory, but zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) have to be sweet?!"

"Upstairs, are you from the South?"

"The person downstairs must be from the North!"

Boss Xu was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on here?

What was just an abstract discussion has escalated into an argument? If we don't say something to calm things down, are we going to come to blows?
