I'm A Baller

Chapter 308: Stop Fooling Around, Miss He!

The scale of today’s competition was beyond anyone’s imagination.

The platform, sponsors, fans, models, and even Miss He, who came to join in the fun, were all shocked by it.

Starting at 4 pm, all kinds of unexpected guests kept arriving.

Vice President of Beauty Ko, Mr Li; Vice President of Haidilao; General Manager of Shanghai Kerry Hotel; Vice President of General Mill China, which owned the Haagen-Dazs; head of the East China region of the Mengniu; General Manager of Yili Shanghai Branch; Director of the Advertising Department of Qing Dao Beer; President of Douyu Operations; Vice President of Weibo Operations; President Shi of Panda TV; General Manager of Hong Rong…

The heavyweight guests arrived one after another, and soon the reserved special section was filled up.

The special section had not been opened before because they were waiting for the guests to arrive.

According to their wealth, the above-mentioned guests might not be rich enough to beat a real leader.

However, in terms of social status, they were all higher than Wang Yan.

Although the senior workers did not seem to earn much. With a yearly salary of a million or so, plus some stock options, their wealth was at most tens of millions or billions.

However, their connections, resources, relationships, and background were not what today’s Wang Yan could compare to.

Just for the sake of such a live broadcast of the Big Eater Competition on the Internet platform, attending a serious event like this was already far beyond the standard of the event itself.

After all, the organizer was just an unknown small company.

Who had heard of Wangting Entertainment before?

And the organizer was even a little kid who had no cards.

The same event organized by different organizers would have completely different effect.

If today’s competition was hosted by President Ma from Ali, it was needless to say that half of the internet could be pulled over.

However, if today’s Douyu were to host it, it might not be able to achieve the current effect.

Not to mention the new Wangting Entertainment.

He Miaomiao was especially familiar with the tricks in it and couldn’t help but be astonished, “Wang Yan, you’re so amazing. You can actually organize such a big scene!”

Initially, she thought that it was just an offline gathering of a few internet celebrities. They would have an emcee go up and chat with each other, and then they would start to eat and chew. Whoever won would get the cash.

Who would have thought that it would be so formal?

Just looking at it made people excited!

There were many outsiders around Wang Yan, so there was no way to be cheeky. Therefore, she said modestly in a serious manner, “It’s not all because of me. Brother Xizi and the others worked very hard.”

Wang Yunxi did not dare to snatch the credit. He hurriedly waved his hand, “It was all your idea. I’m just an errand boy. How hard can it be?”

President Li from Beauty Ko looked at Wang Yan suspiciously. In his heart, he was muttering to himself: this devilish brat is acting really well today?! It actually made people have a good impression of him…

In the end, Wang Yan turned around and smiled at him, “President Li, today is my home game. Let’s get drunk before going home?”

Just a polite sentence gave President Li a shock.

“I really can’t do it today. I just finished eating my cephalosporin!”

…

President Ai pulled Wang Yan around and introduced him to everyone.

Wang Yan restrained his youthful spirit and calmly greeted the distinguished guests one by one.

The process was fixed and simple —

When shaking hands, he used a little more force, looked directly at the other party, and said “Hello” in a deep voice. Then, he listened quietly, and then gave a simple reply.

He smiled without slick, his expression was not pompous, and his manner of speech was not ostentatious. To sum it up, there were only eight words –

He was well-mannered and could deal with the situation with ease.

Everywhere he passed, there were discussions.

“I originally thought that he was from a grassroots team, but in the end, the child unexpectedly turned out okay?”

“Looking at his clothes, I think that he might be the second Young Master Wang, but in the end, he is much more stable than that person. He looks like he is doing things well.”

“Isn’t that right? That elder Mr Wang isn’t much, but this younger Mr Wang is quite methodical. Whose child is that?”

“It’s really lively today. It’s rare! I wanted to leave after meeting him, but it seems like I have to stay and take a look…”

“Don’t go, let’s have a drink later!”

“It’s not the time to drink today. I just want to see how big of a commotion they can make in the end.”

“Hey, how’s the preparation for the thing you mentioned last time?”

“It’s still a little lacking, but I didn’t come in vain today. Young Mr Wang gave me some inspiration. Let’s see the final effect later. If it’s possible, maybe we can hand it over to Wangting Entertainment.”

“Look at those fans. They’re all on steroids. It would be weird if the effect is bad!”

“Tsk tsk, the younger generations will surpass us in time…”

“Why are you lamenting so much? We’re going to be slapped to death by the younger generation sooner or later anyway, haha!”

“You don’t say. Today’s competition is really interesting. Who can eat as much ice cream as the spicy hotpot?”

“It doesn’t matter how much they eat. We spent so much money. We have to come and see.”

“What to see? Isn’t it easy to fake things on the Internet?”

“Data can be faked, but people can’t. It’s okay to come and see people, right?”

“Haha, Right! Then did you see anything?”

“That little Wang is quite amazing. Today’s scene is big but not messy. It’s very rare!”

“That’s true… and those miss etiquette are really good. They have everything, figure and ability. One person at each table, arranged in an orderly manner. I’m thinking that Director Li shouldn’t have that skill. How does little Wang train?”

“I’m not sure. Let’s go ask Director Li about it?”

The Beauty Ko Director Li was stunned by the questions. He braced himself and bragged, “Our Beauty Ko’s models are famous for their high quality! What’s so strange about that?”

Nonsense!

If Director Li were to pick a person, those miss etiquette would definitely be flirting with him.

The secret of Wang Yan’s selection was very simple — the special score was high, the interview performance was generous and decent, and willing to work for him. However, there were not many job opportunities.

It sounded simple, but unfortunately, in the whole world, only Wang Yan could do it.

The special score was the prerequisite for everything. The comments in the score could directly distinguish between the real white lotus and the white lotus b*tch, so that the best actress could not hide. Could anyone do it?

It was impossible. Just showing it to you, you wouldn’t even understand it.

…

Many of the guests today had mingled in Shanghai. They were all familiar with each other and could chat together.

But no matter how they chatted, the topic would eventually change back to activities and Wang Yan.

Freshness was the greatest weapon.

And Wang Yan’s outstanding performance had left a very deep first impression on them. Everyone’s gaze couldn’t help but chase after the young master.

No matter how they observed, they felt that his bearing was impeccable. Not only was he capable, but he was also well-educated.

Just like that, the favorability was accumulating bit by bit, causing the balance in their hearts to gradually tilt.

As for the activity area, it was orderly, and the atmosphere was gradually filled with tension.

There were many movable tables and chairs in the middle of Haidilao lobby, which could be arranged at will.

Today, the entire lobby was arranged into a semi-circular performance hall.

The six chairs were lined up with the wall behind and six small square tables on the front.

A live broadcast device and a mobile phone were fixed on the table, which was used to watch bullet comments and chat.

Apart from the live broadcast room where the six contestants were separated, there was another panoramic live broadcast room on the platform’s home page. Two parallel devices could change the scene at will.

The fans at the scene had already been divided into four zones and were seated.

The core members of each fan club were trying their best to mobilize.

In other words… they were on steroids.

Usually, most people were very naughty in the live broadcast room and spent money according to their mood. However, they had a lot of fighting spirit at the moment.

Ling Ya’s fan club leader [O Bing o Feng O] was probably a big shot who had worked in a multi-level marketing before. His steroids was being poured out like it was free.

“Everyone has seen what happened today. It’s not just about me, and it’s also not about any of you. It’s about the entire fan club!

Ling Ya could lose on eating. Ice cream plus hotpot. Wang, that b*stard, played too much, so losing the match was nothing.

However, Ling Ya’s list could not be lost!

There are no more people from other families than ours. There were just fifteen or sixteen. Who would be afraid of whom?

Just now, we had met each other, and everyone had bragged a lot. Now, it was time to see the truth!

Ling Ya and the other four were friends, and they were from the same guild. That was right!

However, there was only one big sister on the platform!

If she did not fight for it, it would not work. We have to fight for it!

Not fighting for anything. We play on a thin and furry platform, and all we do is yell and check on a thin and furry room?!

Two days ago, the platform had just poached the legendary top lady of the live broadcast world, Xiao Cang. You all saw that scene. Later, Xiao Cang would host the public live broadcast room. There would probably be a lot of men chasing after her.

What a great opportunity!

Right?!

Today, Ling Ya would be the top lady of the live broadcast world if she stepped on all the mukbang!

Today, the public live broadcast room would be arranged again and Ling Ya would be the top lady of the entire platform!

Everyone should know how much traffic there would be when the time came, right?

There was no need to be afraid of offending someone — Ling Ya would be reimbursed for the round trip expenses. The five-star hotel she stayed in was paid for by Wang Yan personally. She had fun eating, slept well, and if she couldn’t win today’s battle, then it would be a waste of time for us!

Anyway, I’m too ashamed to ask the host to pay me money.

Later, I’ll definitely be at the forefront. Let’s just say these words: Let’s just do it and be done with it!”

Everyone shouted and wanted to start a war.

Similar scenes took place in every area.

This was the difference between offline and online. When Young Master Wang decided to use free means to invite fans over, he happened to be reading “The Rabble”. There was a famous saying in it —

Once a person in a group, their IQ would be severely lowered. In order to gain recognition, an individual was willing to abandon right and wrong and used their IQ to exchange for a sense of belonging that made people feel safe.

In today’s situation, speaking of IQ was a bit excessive, but once that impulse was ignited, it was difficult to extinguish it.

What was a sense of belonging?

The host sitting there as well as the fan club named after her was the sense of belonging of everyone present.

So, it was still the same saying — just do it and you’re done!

..

He Miaomiao listened to the various fanatical slogans in the fan section and whispered in Wang Yan’s ear, “You’re really deep…”

The young miss had also read “The Rabble”, so she was unexpectedly clear-headed in certain aspects.

Wang Yan shook his head, “There are indeed tricks, but do you think they don’t understand it at all?”

“Oh?”

“Actually, it’s not that many people don’t know about it, but they are willing to take the initiative to fall for it because I have given them a rare stage.”

Wang Yan stared at the fan section with an unusually deep gaze.

“How many times can one have a hot-blooded, passionate, and exhilarating experience in life?

Everyone lives for happiness. I provide the stage, and they stand on it happily. Then, they will have an unforgettable memory for the rest of their lives. Isn’t that beautiful?

Compared to that, what is money?

Is there any difference from spending it on travel, shopping, or playing games?”

Four consecutive questions made He Miaomiao pondered for a long time.

After a long time, she slowly nodded, “That’s true. My father always said that as long as there’s an opportunity to buy satisfaction with money, you must be bold to spend it, because too often, it’s difficult to buy satisfaction directly.”

“Your father said again…”

Wang Yan glanced sideways at her and teased, “Come, call me uncle!”

“Crawl away!”

The young lady rolled her eyes and took out her phone from her handbag, “Come, teach me how to register an account and how to top up. Today, I’ll take you flying!”

Wang Yan was stunned, then shook his head and laughed, “Aiyo, I thank you. Then I’ll just wait to fly?”

“Hurry Up!”

The registration was completed very quickly. When it was time to top up, Wang Yan randomly found a platform staff.

“If my female partner wants to top up, just pay according to our company’s discount. Also, charge it to Wangting Entertainment.”

What the heck!? The staff looked at He miaomiao and seemed to be in a difficult position. He bowed and said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go call Mr Wang!”

Huh, who was he looking down on?!

Miss He did not understand and asked Wang Yan, “Why didn’t he just charge me directly?”

“I guess he didn’t want to give me such a high discount…”

Wang Yan was very helpless.

Wangting Entertainment’s recharging points were quite high. An ordinary tycoon would not be able to get such a high discount even if he charged 1,000,000 yuan in one go.

Miss He did not quite understand, but with her sharp intuition, she realized that she had been underestimated.

Wang Jianhao arrived very quickly and chatted enthusiastically with Wang Yan.

“My subordinate is insensible, please don’t take offense, Director Wang! Just pay according to your company’s rebate points, and you can transfer the money directly!”

He Miaomiao lowered her head and took out her bag, “Do you accept checks?”

“Uh… Yes, we accept…”

Wang Jianhao was a little confused and looked at Wang Yan in confusion.

The meaning was very obvious: Director Wang, aren’t you paying for your female partner? Why is she paying for it herself?

Wang Yan smiled and shook his head, “She’s playing around on her own. I won’t interfere.”

Wang Jianhao didn’t understand the relationship between the two of them. He asked He miaomiao casually, “Miss, how much do you intend to top up?”

Miss He turned to Wang Yan and asked, “Will all the money I spent today fall into your pocket?”

These words couldn’t be repeated in front of Wang Jianhao. Wang Yan whispered into her ear, “85% will fall into my hands.”

He Miaomiao was sprayed by the hot air on her ear. Her whole body was numb and itchy like electricity.

In an instant, her collarbone was burning red.

“Oh…”

She answered in a daze and suppressed her awkwardness and shyness. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked, “How much money will be spent today? The most.”

She asked without thinking, but Wang Yan understood what she meant.

He smiled and replied, “I’ve prepared 10 million. Other rich people will only spend 2 million at most. They were here for entertainment, different from me. You just need to spend 500,000 to play with them.”

“That much? You guys really are not taking money as money…”

Miss He widened her eyes and stuck out her tongue.

Wang Jianhao suddenly understood. So it was really the little girl who paid for entertainment?

His heart was bitter.

Young Master Wang, it was fine if you were young and rich. I could tolerate that your girlfriend was as beautiful as a fairy. But in the end, she was a fair, rich, and beautiful woman?!

How come all the good things in the world had been taken by you?

It was obvious that his heart was overflowing with lemons, but Mr Wang still had to continue smiling. It couldn’t be any more bitter.

Miss He took out a pen and lowered her head to sign the check.

As she signed, she muttered.

“Then I’ll put in 10 million as well… Aiya, it’s so annoying. I only have a dowry of a few tens of millions. I’ll have to spend one-third of it in one go… My heart aches…”

Clang!

There was a loud sound beside the two of them. It was Wang Jianhao’s knee that hit the table leg. He was in so much pain that tears were about to fall out.

However, he did not bother to wipe it off. He supported himself with one hand on the table and struggled to stand up. He cried out in an extremely rude manner, “How much?! How much do you want to put in?!”

The VIP area was originally small, so Wang Jianhao’s shout immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
