480: My heart is burning with pain

However, their own fan groups, having learned of the “battle news,” fanned the flames everywhere, forcing them to come and see for themselves.

At first, they only intended to sneak a peek and then retreat, but who knew they would run into a large group of people they knew.

So, they no longer hid, all of them openly chatted and joined the discussion!

Ultimately, this live stream became a hot spot where various Streamers gathered!

Many Streamers found their popularity soaring as soon as they arrived, with their fan numbers skyrocketing—they practically hit the jackpot!

Just as the two were at a tense, explosive moment, Yu Waner’s mind was already in a complete mess… Plus, at this moment, she wasn't in the game screen, so for a while, she actually forgot she was still live streaming.

In her eyes, Yu Yunqiu was simply looking for trouble!

And Yu Yunqiu's next sentence completely shattered her psychological defenses!

He said that all of this was done with Xu Lian's approval!

On the surface, it looked like Yu Yunqiu was assigning work to Yu Waner, but in reality, the true mastermind behind everything was Xu Lian!

“These tasks are really too many, Sister Yun, cut them in half, I also need to slowly adapt to the business content, right?”

Seeing that a head-on approach wouldn't work with 317, Yu Waner quickly switched to a gentle tone, and her attitude softened considerably.

But with every little action she made, the audience in the live stream was once again stunned!

Those who bet on her winning now felt a burning pain in their hearts!

“Sister Yu, didn’t you confidently declare earlier that a true man would rather die than yield?!”

Before a few rounds of confrontation, as soon as she heard Xu Lian was behind it, Yu Waner instantly wilted.

On the other side, the group who favored the older sister winning was overjoyed.

“Hahaha, what did I tell you, Sister Yu is actually just a paper tiger.”

“You've all been deceived by her! She's currently a monkey reigning as king when the tiger is away; from now on, the only tiger in this place will be Old Thief Xu.”

“Ever since she met Old Thief Xu, Sister Yu has lost all her Domineering (dominance), what a pity.”

“She must have been given some treasure by Old Thief Xu, otherwise, how could she be so obedient to him!”

“It must have been something incredibly good!”

“It shouldn't be money; I send tens of thousands of yuan in gifts every day, and she doesn't even glance at them, even telling me to get lost, boo hoo hoo~”

“I heard she hasn't even opened those gifts; a friend from inside our company revealed it.”

The direction of the bullet comments quickly changed.

Everyone began to wonder what secret weapon Xu Lian had shown Yu Waner.

One reason they enjoyed watching Yu Waner's live streams was that she represented the rebellious image they fantasized about during adolescence—daring to act and take responsibility, doing many things that others wanted to do but dared not.

Coupled with her straightforward and uninhibited personality, it made people feel closer and more authentic to her.

Even if she was a bit sharp-tongued, cursing people directly was better than secretly gossiping behind their backs.

Even with Yu Waner's gentle, almost coquettish attitude at this moment, Yu Yunqiu remained unmoved.

Do you know what kind of person she is?

She was a tough character who once went two days and two nights without eating or sleeping just to meet performance targets, and she endured it!

Any target Yu Yunqiu set her sights on, she had never failed to achieve.

This time, Yu Waner was no exception.

Moreover, Xu Lian had specifically instructed her earlier to take good care of Yu Waner, no matter the method.

“But I really don’t have time to play games, you know I’m a game Streamer, I can’t even find time to play myself, how can I set an example for new employees?”

Yu Waner was still unwilling and continued to argue.

“I’m just asking you to be busy during work hours; I didn’t say you couldn’t stream after work.

And this phase is inherently a preparation period, so it's bound to be a bit tough.

Once the department gets on track later, you'll have a much easier time.”

Yu Yunqiu explained calmly.

After a long silence, Yu Waner sighed and said, feeling wronged, “Alas, heaven’s justice is clear, and retribution is swift.”

“I will periodically come to check your progress. If it doesn't meet the standards by then, we'll just have to sit down and discuss it with President Xu.”

After saying this, Yu Yunqiu turned and left the office.

Thump thump thump!

Not long after she left, Yu Waner could no longer suppress her anger and slammed the table several times with a “bang bang bang.”

She only stopped when a faint pain came from her palm.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she could only pick up the stack of documents on the table.

Yu Waner, sitting back in front of the screen, then noticed that the live stream hadn't been turned off!

She almost forgot about it!

This meant… all those arguments and moments of weakness had been seen clearly by the audience!

It was utterly humiliating!

Watching the fluctuating expressions on her face, the audience in the live stream filled the comments with teasing remarks.

Some people simply recharged and changed their names, all with sarcastic new IDs, such as “Got lectured by Dad today, huh,” “Workplace newbie's first day, a crushing defeat,” and similar names appeared endlessly.

“Stop arguing, I’m ending the stream, brothers, we’ll talk tonight.”

With that, Yu Waner directly cut off the live stream.

Now, she truly couldn't clear her name—she actually feared Xu Lian!

She certainly couldn't tell anyone that she was working because she stayed for a limited edition figurine; the key was that no one would believe such an excuse if she made it!

Meanwhile, in Xu Lian's office.

Qin Feixu was dressed unusually casually today, not wearing high heels, but instead a short-sleeved top, hot pants, and white canvas shoes.

“President Xu, guess what I just saw?”

She said mysteriously.

Ever since Yu Waner joined Ouyou World, Qin Feixu would often secretly visit this new internet celebrity every now and then.

In the past, what she usually saw was Yu Waner frantically playing games.

But just now was completely different; she was actually seriously making phone calls to notify interviewees!

Although this was her actual job, this contrast made Qin Feixu feel extremely refreshed.

“Saw what?”

Xu Lian asked cooperatively.

“It was Yu Waner!” Qin Feixu recounted the entire process from beginning to end.

Xu Lian merely smiled faintly after listening, completely unsurprised by Yu Waner's change.

Everyone who entered Ouyou World, not a single one was truly “slacking off.”

After finishing with Yu Waner's matter, Qin Feixu turned to the main topic.

This time, pyke's new skin showed extremely hot data performance in the first ten minutes after its launch, just 1% shy of breaking the historical record, closely following KaiSa's debut popularity back then!

When KaiSa's first skin was released, it was an unprecedented spectacle, and it remains a classic case to this day!

So, pyke's performance this time was also quite good.

Of course, the first ten minutes were just the beginning; detailed data analysis was still being compiled in the backend.

“It doesn't matter how many people buy it.”

Xu Lian said with a calm expression.

These words, however, struck Qin Feixu like a thunderclap—when did Xu Lian become so unconcerned about profits?
