Lu Zhenqiu's name was not on the promotional picture, but she didn't rush to question him. Instead, she waited for almost an hour until the official Weibo account of Sanshui Live forwarded the Weibo posts of other contracted streamers before she sent the message to the person in charge.
The person in charge has just finished a meeting, and they have discussed several plans for the activities to be carried out to promote the newcomers, including support plans and shows. Among the newly signed streamers, Lou Yifeng is the most well-known, and she was also recommended by Lu Yan. During her first stream they can PK[1] several times to increase her popularity. The person in charge of the entertainment sections had just begun to contact Lu Yan to make preparations.
They will start broadcasting tonight.
The person in charge was sitting in front of the computer. As soon as he opened the screen, he saw a flashing profile picture. He clicked on it, and it was a message from Lu Zhenqiu: [Hello, am I not in the ongoing promotional event?]
What does it mean? The person in charge frowned. The publicity work was done by the planning department, and he was not responsible. He had just gone to a meeting and hadn't had time to see the official Weibo for publicity. When he clicked on it, he frowned.
How could someone be missed?
How did they make such a low-level mistake? Fortunately, Lu Zhenqiu is not a famous streamer. If it had been someone else who was somewhat famous, the fans alone would have scolded the platform to death!
However, he could not push the responsibility yet. The person in charge thought for a moment and then replied to Lu Zhenqiu: [Miss Lu, please wait a moment. I'll go ask what's going on.]
Lu Zhenqiu pursed her lips after receiving the news: [Okay.]
As soon as she sent it, she received a message from Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu: [These people are playing with snakeskin! Did they miss you out on purpose? Lu Yan must have known that you are in the new streamer list and caused trouble on purpose!]
She can feel Xiaoyu's anger through the screen. Lu Zhenqiu typed: [I have contacted the person in charge. ]
Xiaoyu: [What did he say?]
Lu Zhenqiu: [He said that he went to find the person in charge. ]
Xiaoyu: [Let’s hope they don’t kick the responsibility around and apologise and let it go. If they ask you to let it go, make sure you attitude is tough and let them know it is impossible, okay?]
This wasn’t Lu Zhenqiu first time working, so she naturally understood. However, Xiaoyu's words still warmed her heart. Lu Zhenqiu said: [I know what to do.]
Xiaoyu: [It’s good to know because, I am afraid that you will be so silly that when you get deceive into giving others money and still count the money for them. Let me tell you for sure, it is done by Lu Yan for sure!]
Lu Zhenqiu pursed her lips. She and Lu Yan didn't know each other, but the last time they met at dinner, she choked herself, seemingly because of Yu Wen. Maybe Xiaoyu was right.
After sending the message, Xiaoyu gritted her teeth.
She 100% believes that it was done by Lu Yan!
The reason why she left the voice acting circle in the first place was because she was disgusted by Lu Yan. She didn't expect that after two years, she would still be disgusted. She was so angry that she had already gone to ask the person in charge of the entertainment section for questioning.
Sanshui originally promoted games. Although she has more fans than Lu Yan, she can't compete with Lu Yan in receiving gifts. After all, Lu Yan is in the entertainment section and relies on receiving gifts to make a living. The game sector is different. There are almost no gifts, but in terms of popularity, Lu Yan is not as popular as her, and she also knows a lot of gaming streamers, all of whom are well-known in Sanshui and have their own fanbase. She has just sent a message to the person in charge of the entertainment section. If it is not settled by today, she will squat at the door of the head office to ask for an explanation!
The person in charge of the entertainment section surname is Zhou and receiving messages from Xiaoyu just like receiving a hot potato. Lu Yan had indeed approached him before the promotion. At the beginning, she asked him to help take care of Lou Yifeng. He readily agreed, and the entertainment section only had those two or three pillars, Lu Yan is one of them, she has jokes and knows how to stream. She has lots of fans can climb to first place in terms of receiving gifts, which makes her his signature streamer. When his signature streamer asks him for help, there is no reason to reject her. But later, he didn't know where Lu Yan knew there was Lu Zhenqiu amongst the newcomers.
He didn't know what was wrong with the two of them, but he saw that Lu Zhenqiu had no backer, so he planned to suppress her a little. He could explain why he missed it when he originally announced this matter, and he will personally apologize to Lu Zhenqiu at that time. Even after this matter is over, after all, Lu Zhenqiu can't do anything to him. He is the person in charge of the entertainment section. Offending him means that she would not get any recommendation it in the future. He believes that Lu Zhenqiu will not be so stupid, and he is able to give Lu Yan an explanation. Killing two birds with one stone.
No one thought that Lu Zhenqiu knew Xiaoyu!
Xiaoyu is more active among the game streeamer. She is not only active in her stream but also have great relationship with many famous streamers. She used to sing and is good-looking. Not long after she came to Sanshui, he thought to recruit Xiaoyu to be an entertainment streamer but was rejected by Xiaoyu. In the past two years, Xiaoyu has also flourished among the gaming streamers. She also had not a large number of fans. The key is that none of the people she knows can be afforded to offend, which makes him feel aggrieved.
Before he replied to Xiaoyu, the person in charge called him again. He was shocked, thinking that Xiaoyu had complained to the leader, and answered the phone quickly: "Hello, boss."
"What's going on with your promotional picture? The planning department said you gave only one photo?"
He blinked, and he had already decided on his excuse just now, and explained: "Yes, Miss Lu she——we are going to post it separately."
"Post it seprately?" The man was puzzled: "Why?"
"We read the information. Although Ms. Lu didn't have many fans in the past two years, she was quite popular in live streaming before..." It was nonsense, but it got to the point, in the past, Lu Zhenqiu live stream statistics was good, and her voice was so special that it was difficult for someone to replace her. That is when she went over to a small platform and there was no word about her afterwards, If she was in Sanshui, she would have been popular long ago!
He said this to the main person in charge, and the main person in charge nodded: "Okay, then you can figure it out. Anyway, I’m leaving her to you."
The person in charge relaxed: "Okay, no problem." He sent him Lu Zhenqiu's contact information, Zhou Ye stared at the phone, suppressed the aggrieved feeling, and added Lu Zhenqiu as a friend, and only after the application was sent, Lu Yan's message popped up: [Zhou Ge[2], good afternoon! ]
Zhou Ye sighed and sent her an emoji back, and Lu Yan asked: [What's wrong, Zhou Ge, are you in a bad mood? ]
Still asking.
Zhou Ye told Lu Yan about the message sent by Xiaoyu. There was no reply for a few minutes. Zhou Ye was feeling unhappy. Lu Yan said: [I'm sorry, Zhou Ge, I didn't think it through properly and made you feel wronged. ]
She said a few soft words and let Zhou Ye step down the ladder.[3]
[Zhou Ge, let Lu Zhenqiu announce it separately, just say that our entertainment section values her, Zhou Ge, don’t be angry, drink some red tea [Transfer 2888]]
Zhou Ye accepted the transfer, and his face improved a lot. He replied: [It is ready to send it individually.]
Lu Yan gritted her teeth and sneered, but the words she typed were delicate: [Thank you, Zhou Ge.]
Zhou Ye contacted Lu Zhenqiu and explained to her about the solo announcement. His attitude was quite polite. Lu Zhenqiu was chatting with Xiaoyu and Hualuo. Xiaoyu felt much better after hearing what she said about the solo announcement. "It's okay, but Lu Yan is probably going to die of anger with regards to your solo announcement."
Hua Luo said: "Let her be angry. It's inexplicable. They hadn’t told Qiuqiu about the announcement in advance. I suspect there was no intention to announce it at all. They were forced to agree because of your lustful power."
Xiaoyu snorted: "What lustful power?"
Hua Luo laughed. Lu Zhenqiu listened to their fuss and saw @ appearing on Weibo, and soon her solo promotion was sent. Lu Zhenqiu reposted it with a love emoticon.
Fans were also very happy, some said they didn’t expect to sign Sanshui, Sanshui is great, Lu Zhenqiu selected a few fans to reply and quit Weibo.
Xiaoyu asked: "Will there be a stream in the afternoon?"
Lu Zhenqiu said: "Trial stream at two o'clock." The trial stream is to enter the live stream room, adjust all the equipment, and communicate with the moderators. If there is no problem, she could start streaming. Hua Luo has been looking at the Sanshui and she muttered: "Is this Lu Yan live streaming? So early?"
The entertainment section usually has the largest traffic from night to midnight, and people rarely stream during the day. Xiaoyu rolled her eyes: "She probably needed to supplement[4] her streaming time.
Lu Zhenqiu said: " I will go to the stream room to prepare." She logged in to the room number given by the administrator. Probably due to the fact the room was just promoted, many fans clicked the Weibo link and entered the room. After a while, the number of fans exceeded 100. Before the stream started, many fans were starting to comment.
Although Lu Zhenqiu's room has not yet been fully decorated, it has already taken a rough shape. There are two rag dolls placed on the bay window. It looks very cosy. Eagle-eyed fans have noticed that the place where she broadcasts her live broadcast is different from before.
[Has Qiuqiu moved?]
[Qiuqiu, this bay window is so beautiful! ]
[The new room looks great!]
Lu Zhenqiu looked behind and said, "I haven’t pack finish yet. Yes, I moved, I just moved in two days ago. Singing? You may need to wait a while. I'll change some settings in the equipment first."
After setting up, many viewers had already entered the room, many were new viewers. They came in and marvelled at how beautiful the streamer looked. Lu Zhenqiu smiled gently: "Thank you for liking, you can follow if you like."
[Ah ah ah, I like the voice too! ]
[I'm in love with this voice! Are you new? You have a very good aura. ]
[She is not a newcomer, but our Qiuqiu aura is super invincible! ]
After Lu Zhenqiu finished her work, she saw the bullet screen chatting. Some of her old fans were chatting with new fans who had just joined the room, and they were having a good time.
Xiaoyu also sent a message from the live stream room: [Are you there?]
Lu Zhenqiu replied to her: [Yes.]
Xiaoyu: [Let's have a PK later, and I increase your popularity.]
Lu Zhenqiu knew that there were PK activities on the Sanshui platform. There were two forms. One was random matching. Enter the PK and then arrange it through the system. The other was to invite people you knew to participate in the PK.
She had just started streaming and Xiaoyu was an old streamer with over one million fans. PK is to help her increase her popularity, She typed: [Okay.]
Just after sending the message, a PK message popped up on the page, She clicked to accept, and the page jumped, it turned out to be Lu Yan.
Lu Yan looked surprised in front of the computer. She blinked: "Oh, sorry, I connected to the wrong person. I wanted to connect with Fengfeng[5] and accidentally connected to you. Are you a new streamer too?"
Lu Zhenqiu looked at her fake smile. She smiled in greeting: "Yes, new streamer."
"Zhenqiu, your name is so nice. Since we are connected, it is fate, let's have a PK?" Lu Yan smiled, hiding the anger and annoyance just caused by Lu Zhenqiu in her heart.
Her fans also quickly came to Lu Zhenqiu's room and typed: [She looks pretty! Followed! ]
[Sister you are so beautiful.]
[Let the PK begiin]
Lu Zhenqiu's phone placed next to the computer desk lit up, followed by Xiaoyu's message: 【Fuck! Why is Lu Yan such a dog? She didn't come here with good intentions to raise your popularity, she wanted to wait for you to lose to make you look ugly! 】
The end of PK determines the winner or loser. The winning side can ask the losing side to designate a thing or a punishment. Generally, everyone does not mean it, but this Lu Yan is intentional!
Lu Zhenqiu had just finished reading Xiaoyu's news. Lu Yan had already turned on the PK mode. She tensed up and her eyes darkened, but she didn't see a new number coming in at the bottom of the room.
The ID of the account is – [My dream top, Zhenqiu]
The name of the account is quite hard to translate as I don't know how to phrase it so it retains its meaning therefore I chose this.
In Chinese, this is the meaning of the id with direct translation 梦中（dream）情(love)一(top)枕秋 (Zhenqiu)
[1] Player Killing = battling out, in this context, it meant connecting to streams together and the person who has the most amount of gifts in a certain amount of time wins
[2] Ge has the meaning of older brother in Chinese (short form) but could be used to call some one that is higher up in an informal way
[3] Make one feel less embaressed
[4] streaming just to meet the required hours. Streamers need to stream a certain number of hours when they sign the contract. When some streamers do not stream enough hours, they will stream longer or outside their schedule.
[5] Lou Yifeng
