29: 2nd

That's right! The song Cao Mo chose was exactly "anyway".

There's nothing particularly special about the song "anyway"; it's just a great song. However, it's not normal for it to be played in this Livestream Room; it will definitely make all the old 798 fans sensitive.

Because the person this song represents is Ms. Cheng.

A female influencer that the old 798 fans could never get over.

Even now, there are still remnants of the Shuang-Cheng CP.

Tong Jingchen glanced at the bullet comments again and said, "Look at the bullet comments yourself. The intro is barely playing, and the drama is already starting."

"What's the big deal! Can't I even sing a song? If there's any drama, bring it to me; I'll shoulder it," Cao Mo said.

"You'll shoulder it? What can you shoulder? This drama has nothing to do with you!" Tong Jingchen retorted.

"How does it have nothing to do with me? I'm the one singing it! The song itself isn't guilty of anything," Cao Mo argued.

"The song isn't guilty, but playing it in my Livestream Room is a crime!" Tong Jingchen said.

"It's fine. We're being open about it, what's there to be afraid of? You being this sensitive just makes it more suspicious," Cao Mo said.

"Fine, fine, fine, go ahead and sing! You handle the drama if it arises," Tong Jingchen agreed.

"Don't worry, there won't be any drama, it's just a song. We're all in the same circle; if I ever happen to meet her one day, wouldn't that be even more explosive?" Cao Mo said.

"You're so badass. If you can actually become friends with her, then I'll hand it to you. I'll call you Master Mo every time I see you from now on," Tong Jingchen said.

"Then Brother won't mind, right?" Cao Mo asked in a 'green tea' tone.

"Why would I mind? It's all water under the bridge. If you can really get to know her, you're truly badass, and I'll help you handle the drama," Tong Jingchen replied.

Cao Mo didn't reply, because the bullet comments in the Livestream Room were scrolling wildly:

"Brother Mo, since Liu-zi said so, why be polite!"

"With my looks as the 798 Brother Yi, isn't it simple to win over a little Ms. Cheng?"

"Brother Mo, don't let your surname down."

"The highest praise for a man: 'I'll hand it to you!'"

"You have to go for it just to earn that title of Master Mo!"

"My Brother Yi is still brave, daring to bring it up in the Livestream Room."

"Brother Mo, if you can really become friends with Ms. Cheng, that would be legendary."

"Don't say that, Brother Mo really has the potential."

...

Cao Mo watched the bullet comments for a while, then turned to Tong Jingchen and said, "Brother, the atmosphere is already here, should I still sing it?"

"You said it yourself, the atmosphere is already here, so sing it! I don't care either way," Tong Jingchen said.

Upon hearing this, Cao Mo played the intro to Zhang Qishan's "anyway" again.

Without details, how can one build up specifics?

The traces you left in my heart are rarer than a passerby's.

Only I am digging for thin, shared topics.

Gathering or parting, thick or thin, it's not up to me, only you, as you please and at random.

Actually, I had long foreseen the ending, but was blinded by the plot.

Foolishly staying in the same place, replicating memories.

Still unwilling to wake up.

anyway, both loving you and hating you take effort.

It's better to retreat completely and then forget you.

anyway, your world is full of figures catering to you.

There is no lack of my obsession.

anyway, pleasing you or mocking you is meaningless.

It's better to leave a sliver of room for dignity.

Those misplaced heartbeats.

Are all just the past...

When the audience in the Livestream Room heard Cao Mo singing this song, the drama in the bullet comments immediately intensified:

"Cry! Everyone cry for me!"

"（Crying emoji） （Crying emoji） （Crying emoji）"

"What year is it now?"

"It stirred up memories in an instant."

"Has the seal started to loosen?"

"Remnants of the previous dynasty reporting in!"

"Actually, this song fits many of Old Liu's love interest heroines."

"That woman, sigh!"

"Remnants of the previous dynasty, assemble!"

"Are you too scared to even mention her name? Let me @Cheng Youyou."

"It has to be Brother Yi! It was worth risking my job to watch the livestream."

"Suddenly, an old friend comes to mind."

...

After Cao Mo finished singing, he looked at the Livestream Room and immediately took credit, saying, "Look, I brought you two 'Dog Tooth No. 1' gifts by singing this! The viewership increased by ten thousand."

"Get lost! Who cares about that!" Tong Jingchen shouted.

"If you don't care, then pay me back with two Douyin No. 1s tonight!" Cao Mo said.

Tong Jingchen looked at Cao Mo upon hearing this and said, "Alright! You're not like you were a few days ago when you just signed, all timid and submissive."

"Since you all call me Brother Yi, I have to act like Brother Yi," Cao Mo replied.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Tong Jingchen nodded with a smile, not knowing how else to respond.

"Oh! You're going to PK with Zhilong, Brother Jie, and the others today, right?" Tong Jingchen asked.

"Yes!" Cao Mo nodded.

"The battle for Brother Yi, huh!" Wen Bin, sitting in the back, chimed in.

"Tripod, don't speak. Who gave you permission to speak?" Tong Jingchen immediately scolded.

Cao Mo said at this time, "What battle for Brother Yi? Don't stir up drama! It's just a normal PK, to let me get familiar with how PKs work and their rhythm."

"What are you afraid of? Your Livestream Room viewership crushes theirs, and you have plenty of wealthy women. Today, let them see that Brother Yi is worthy of the title," Tong Jingchen said, fanning the flames.

"What's the use of high viewership? It depends on whether you have big-time donors. One 'god-tier' donor is worth a hundred thousand, small tips can't compete at all," Cao Mo replied.

"That's true. In a Livestream Room with only a few dozen people, as long as there's a big donor, PK streamers with thousands of viewers have to kneel," Tong Jingchen agreed.

"Look at Zhilong, Brother Jie, Zisheng, and Lu Bu. They've been Livestreaming for so long, they've cultivated their big donors, and even Tian Jiu is doing better now," Cao Mo said.

"It's all just show. With your looks, it should be easy for you to suck up to some wealthy women," Tong Jingchen said.

"PK is really hard to say, and I don't know how to suck up to them," Cao Mo replied.

"Isn't that private kitchen thing you're doing pretty good? Knowing how to use your own advantages is much better than others who only know how to suck up blindly," Tong Jingchen said.

"I need to hurry and find a place, do a simple renovation, and get it started," Cao Mo said.

"Don't worry! I fully support you. I'll find the place for you. You want to use the people in the company as waiters, right? Just ask for whoever you want, including me," Tong Jingchen promised.

"Thanks, Brother Tong!" Cao Mo thanked him sincerely.

"You are Brother Yi, the top salesperson, essentially. If you do well, I do well, and the company does well. Everyone makes money," Tong Jingchen said.

"But, are you sure your cooking is okay? Can you handle it?" Tong Jingchen asked.

"Guaranteed, don't worry! I can assure you the dishes I make won't lose to those master chefs, and I'm proficient in all cuisines," Cao Mo answered confidently.

"Cook for us sometime; I'll try the dishes first on behalf of the big donors in your Livestream Room," Tong Jingchen said.

"Then let's do it during the group livestream! Everyone can taste it together," Cao Mo said.

"Sure, then cook us a meal when we go to Guizhou Province," Tong Jingchen agreed.

"As for the place, let me see... how about you rent a villa? It can serve as both your residence and the private kitchen," Tong Jingchen continued.

"Rent a villa just for a private kitchen? Forget it! It's better to just rent a small courtyard," Cao Mo said.
