Popularity squeezed into the top ten, the director came in person!

Early the next morning, not long after dawn, Lin Yuan's live stream exploded.

From a few thousand people overnight, the numbers surged!

20,000!

50,000!

100,000!

200,000!

A large number of viewers, drawn by his reputation, flooded into the live stream.

However, when they entered the live stream, they were all dumbfounded—where was the streamer?

Watching the constantly increasing numbers in the upper right corner, there was nothing on the screen.

Everyone was stunned.

It was the first time they had seen a streamer absent while the live stream's popularity soared.

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1

【Popularity】+1+1+1+1

— — 【What’s going on? Did I enter the wrong live stream? I’ve been waiting for half an hour and haven’t seen anyone. Is this the big shot who bought a house and gave away a girlfriend yesterday? Please tell me?】

— — 【I’m really speechless. I came into the live stream early in the morning to watch the excitement, but what good did that do? I’m about to go to work, and the streamer is still sleeping!】

— — 【What a weirdo. Dude, stop sleeping, you’re famous!】

— — 【I bet other streamers are cursing in their hearts when they see this. They can shout 'dad' in their live streams and still not keep many people, but here, hundreds of thousands of people are watching the streamer sleep, and they can't even see him!】

Lin Yuan was too tired from yesterday’s activities and didn't go to bed until the early hours of the morning.

It was only a little past 7 AM now; they had a long wait!

But the production team, at this moment, was once again in a state of chaos.

In the morning, the staff of the Network Supervision Department had just started work.

They immediately opened the live streams of each contestant to check for any special circumstances.

They checked over a dozen contestant live streams, and all were normal; early in the morning, there weren't many people.

Some had even already gotten up and started working.

But the moment he saw Lin Yuan’s live stream, he was instantly dumbfounded.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously, making sure he wasn’t seeing things.

The result was...

“Manager, it’s incredible! Lin Yuan’s live stream has over 200,000 people watching online!”

“Manager, several of today’s top news headlines are related to Lin Yuan!”

“Manager, Lin Yuan’s popularity ranking has now entered the top ten of the program, and his assets have exceeded 20,000, and it’s only been one day!”

“Manager, Lin Yuan is still sleeping, but the live stream has exploded. What should we do? Should we call him and tell him to get up quickly?”

“Manager...”

At this moment, in the top-floor conference room of the production team building.

The manager, with a group of supervisors, looked at the live stream screen, exchanging bewildered glances!

Everyone’s face was filled with a strange expression.

They had seen outrageous things, but never anything this outrageous.

Over 200,000 people watching a streamer sleep?

And he’s a man!!

Who would believe that if you told them!!

Those who didn’t know might think there was a bug in the data.

But the comment section of the live stream was constantly refreshing, proving that all of this was real!

And to think the show had only been on for one day!!

Which of the top ten contestants wasn't a well-known online celebrity?

They had spent years accumulating a large fan base.

But Lin Yuan? Before participating in the competition, he was an unknown nobody.

And yet, in just one day, he climbed up?

This could no longer be described as a dark horse.

It was simply defying the heavens!

If someone had told the manager before this that a person would break 200,000 popularity in one day.

He would have slapped them without hesitation.

Wake up!

Now, thinking about it, he just wanted to slap himself, because it was too unreal.

The manager took a deep breath, looked at everyone, and said with a solemn expression, “Everyone, you’ve all seen it, right?”

“Calling you all here for a meeting so early in the morning, there’s really no other way. It’s too fast! It’s too incredible!”

“Lin Yuan’s ranking has risen from second to last yesterday to eighth now!”

“This is absolutely the fastest popularity growth miracle in the history of live streaming!!”

“And most importantly, the vast majority of these 200,000 people are not traffic brought by the production team itself.”

“In other words, Lin Yuan brought 200,000 viewers to the production team in just one day.”

“In normal times, how much in advertising fees would we have to spend to attract these people?”

“I saw some of the things he did yesterday, and every single one was quite outrageous.”

“But have you ever thought, this is only one day, just yesterday!”

“What about today? What about tomorrow? The competition has just begun!”

“It’s completely unimaginable how much popularity he can break through then!”

“Because of this, I’m worried that some peers or supporters of other contestants will say that our production team has inside information.”

“After all, this is indeed a bit unbelievable.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the supervisors below instantly erupted.

They all whispered and discussed amongst themselves.

Soon, one of the stout supervisors stood up and said righteously, “What are we afraid of? A clear conscience fears no slander. I’ll just say one thing: buying a house and giving away a girlfriend, can they do that?”

“Matchmaking agencies and real estate agencies have always existed, right? Why did no one think of giving away a girlfriend before? Only he thought of it and did it. I admit I don’t have the ability to write such a script!”

As soon as he finished speaking, another supervisor echoed, “Exactly! Even if they say our production team is a script, can the police cooperate with us in acting? The production team isn’t that capable.”

“The prostitution crackdown was live-streamed the whole time. Even we didn’t know Lin Yuan knew sign language. How difficult that is to believe, I don’t need to say. You can’t just go and learn sign language for a script, can you?”

The two men's speeches instantly resonated with everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Exactly, what are we afraid of? Let them say whatever they want. I believe actions speak louder than words. Even if there are haters, it doesn’t matter.”

“Nothing wrong with that. I watched the video, and it was very touching. My wife even shed tears after watching it.”

“It’s very educational. I think not only do we not need to worry, but we should actually promote Lin Yuan’s deeds from yesterday and let more people see them. It can also help our production team gain some traffic.”

The manager looked at the chattering, one-sided situation below, a faint smile on his lips.

He stood up, pressing his hands down to signal everyone to be quiet: “Very good, since everyone thinks so, there’s nothing more to say.”

“Oh, right!”

“The Network Department should pay more attention to Lin Yuan’s live stream. Yesterday he live-streamed a prostitution crackdown, who knows what he’ll live-stream next? Make sure to keep a close eye on him, and report any irregularities immediately!”

The Network Department supervisor nodded with a wry smile: “Understood!”

“Alright, then the meeting is adjourned.”

The manager had just finished speaking and was about to leave.

The Network Department supervisor stammered, “Uh, Manager, it’s already 8 o’clock. Over 200,000 people are waiting in Lin Yuan’s live stream, and none of them can see the streamer. Should we make a call…?”

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone’s faces froze.

Thinking of the live stream screen, they were all speechless.

Usually, it’s the streamer waiting for the fans, but here, you’re making the fans wait for you.

What kind of situation was this?

The manager shook his head helplessly: “Forget it, let him be. I think he should be getting up soon.”

One could only say he was thinking too much.

Lin Yuan slept straight until 10:30 AM.

And even then, it wasn't a natural awakening, but rather being woken up by a knocking sound at the door.

Knock knock knock~~~

Lin Yuan groggily rubbed his eyes and shouted towards Photographer on the bed inside: “Someone’s knocking, go open the door!”

Photographer had a bewildered expression: “Why me? Aren’t you closer to the door?”

“Hotpot for lunch!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Photographer immediately threw off his blanket, dashed to the door, and opened it.

Standing at the doorway were several police officers, including two familiar faces; Zhang Team was standing behind them.

In front of Zhang Team was a man who looked to be around 50 years old, with an imposing presence.

Zhang Team saw Photographer and greeted him with a smile: “Oh, where’s Lin Yuan? This is Director Yang from our sub-bureau, he’s here specifically to give him a bonus.”
