Chapter 413 - 413 52 Cheng Daqi Punches Sun Dongxin

413: Chapter 52: Cheng Daqi Punches Sun Dongxin 413: Chapter 52: Cheng Daqi Punches Sun Dongxin The morning practice went very smoothly.

It was Sun Dongxin’s first time participating in this kind of ‘reality show’ with a performance aspect, and he felt quite exhilarated.

This live broadcast, to put it simply, was an event where Xiao Cheng took Brother Sun to trend on social media.

If Sun Dongxin himself did something, and if he wanted, media from all over Fujian would be willing to give him a push—it’s all about giving face to someone from the same hometown.

But a live broadcast with Cheng Daqi was different.

CEO Cheng had recently become the hot search prince of Zhou China’s internet, trending every other day.

Elder Li mixed with CEO Cheng and took a beating nine times in three days; speaking of it even sounded a bit tragic.

Brother Sun mixed with CEO Cheng, and before the live broadcast even started, he was already blazing beyond his circle.

In conclusion, Elder Li should look for reasons within himself, his miserable experiences had nothing to do with Cheng Daqi or CEO Cheng.

——————

At 7 in the evening, the pitiable working folks had mostly finished work, and those who hadn’t weren’t going to for another hour or two.

Shanhaiguan’s recruitment live broadcast was starting in half an hour.

“Xiao Cao, let’s check the network issue one last time.

This time, there will definitely be more viewers than the last signing live broadcast.

If our performance is affected by unstable networks it’s going to be super embarrassing.”

“CEO Cheng, you’re focusing on the wrong thing.

Don’t worry about these details.

I will make sure it’s handled properly.

You and the other two judges should go over the procedure again,” replied Xiao Cao, with a chorus of ten thousand inner curses.

She rarely responded directly using voice message to CEO Cheng’s urging.

As the executive director for the evening, Xiao Cao was under so much pressure she was about to collapse.

She really couldn’t explain to CEO Cheng that there was no such thing as a network issue with the live broadcast.

The live broadcast traffic model of Trending Video was different from other platforms; its comments system had a protection mechanism, preventing lags when comments flooded in.

The so-called network lag was solely due to a spike in viewer interactions which the backend couldn’t handle fast enough.

“Xiao Cheng, should I wear glasses?

This might make me look more cultured and dignified.”

Subordinate’s overstepping aside, Brother Sun’s request was quite off-script too.

A man in his fifties still seeks to look sharp on camera; Sun is a man of aspirations; he wanted to look his best on screen.

“Mr.

Sun, I’ll get the makeup artist to touch up your makeup right now.

You already have a great aura; under the camera, the effect of makeup will be better than wearing glasses.”

What could be done?

Sun Dongxin was the top dog, and Cheng Daqi had to accommodate Big Brother’s needs.

“Forget it, what man wears makeup?

Ridiculous!”

Sun Dongxin’s head shook like a rattle drum; wearing light makeup was already at his limit, and he couldn’t accept putting even a little more on his face.

“Makeup is a very normal thing.

Many politicians in America wear makeup before appearing in public, Mr.

Sun.

Let me call the makeup artist for you.”

CEO Cheng’s suggestion was spurned by Sun Dongxin.

Xiao Cheng, oh Xiao Cheng, you’re good everywhere but just a tad too effeminate—that was the bias of Sun Dongxin as a fifty-year-old man.

Of course, he wouldn’t say that directly but instead changed the subject.

“Where’s Zhao Hongjin?

Why hasn’t she arrived yet?”

Cheng Daqi looked at his phone; Zhao Hongjin’s live room was already broadcasting, and she was interacting with her audience.

“She’s next door, currently interacting with fans in her live broadcast, also to funnel viewers to our main live room later.”

Having a friend like Zhao was Cheng Daqi’s luck, and he explained this smilingly to Mr.

Sun.

“Why doesn’t she broadcast here?

We’ve made such a big deal of this live room, and she’s broadcasting in a small office next door; what does that mean?”

“Mr.

Sun, you are the big BOSS tonight.

Zhao and I are, frankly, just two young people who’ve recently gained some fame.

You are a respected predecessor in the industry, a unique legend in the Fujian business world.

If Zhao introduces you on camera now, the stunning impact of your entrance will be lost,” Cheng Daqi replied with flattery.

“Xiao Cheng, you, you…

you’ve already got me wrapped around your finger, and you’re still speaking so…

haha.”

Cheng Daqi indeed marketed Mr.

Sun like a delicacy, but CEO Cheng’s clever words made Sun Dongxin very happy.

‘A respected predecessor in the industry!’

‘A unique legend in the Fujian business world!’

Who wouldn’t like to hear such things?

In fact, what CEO Cheng said was all true.

Tonight’s live broadcast had three explosive elements, among which the most irreplaceable and unique was having a mogul like Sun Dongxin directly step into the ring to endorse Cheng Daqi—a feat impossible for any other team to replicate.

Put in more understandable terms, it was like CEO Cheng had thrown a combination punch, the core of which was Sun Dongxin, whose presence had greatly reinforced viewers’ perception and helped the live broadcast create a breakthrough in the pre-heating stage, thus achieving a breakthrough in spreading influence.

Put even simpler: Cheng Daqi punches, viewers’ anticipation maxes out.

“Mr.

Sun, CEO Cheng, it’s time to switch the camera to the main live room, which is here.

Interact with the comments first, and then the Trending platform will ramp up the stream.”

Cheng Daqi and Sun Dongxin were sitting on one side of a long table; opposite them was a live broadcast team of about a dozen people.

From the main camera to side camera shots, from the lighting to central control, Shanhaiguan had pulled out all the stops in preparation for this live broadcast.

“Wait a second!” Cheng Daqi first halted the immediate camera switch, then turned to Sun Dongxin.

“Brother Sun, do you remember the procedure I explained to you over lunch?”

Sun Dongxin gave a response that was part laugh, part sigh.
