184: contrast

The camera crew knocked on Lu Qingyu's door, and a few seconds later, Lu Qingyu came to open it.

When the door opened, Lu Qingyu appeared in loungewear, looking like he had just woken up not long ago.

Lu Qingyu had gone to sleep at 3:00 AM and gotten up after 7:00 AM.

【Slurp, little brother, you've finally arrived.】

【I've been waiting day and night, finally waiting for little brother to be on the show, I've missed you so much.】

【Is this our baby just waking up? So handsome.】

【Did Lu Qingyu not wash his face? His face looks oily.】

【Where did these haters come from? You think you have glass skin? Who doesn't have a bit of oil on their face when they wake up in the morning?】

The camera crew put on shoe covers and walked in. Lu Qingyu's home was decorated in a black, white, and gray color scheme, with a simple and clean design. Other than being larger than Song Yushuo's home, there was nothing particularly special about it.

Song Yushuo's aunt watched the video content. Lu Qingyu didn't seem to be taking this livestream seriously. Did his company not plan any livestream content for him?

But this was for the best; the rougher Lu Qingyu's side of the livestream was, the better the reviews for Song Yushuo's side would be.

The show's firepower could not be cast at any time; there were three times a day when one could vote: 9:00 AM, 1:00 PM, and 10:00 PM.

The livestream had already been going on for half an hour, and the refinement on Song Yushuo's side and the roughness on Lu Qingyu's side formed a stark contrast.

The show had nearly 80 million viewers, but not every viewer liked to interact. The voter turnout for 80 million people was one-tenth, which meant 8 million in firepower.

Apart from the artists' own fans, winning over these 80 million viewers was also very important.

However, looking at the past, it seemed there were more viewers on Song Yushuo's side.

At 8:50, with ten minutes left until the first vote, Song Yushuo was on his way to the filming set. When he passed a bakery, he specifically went down to buy a lot of bread.

When he came out of the bakery, he was carrying two bags of bread and told everyone, "This bag is for the camera crew, and that bag is for the company's employees."

【Shuo Shuo is really thoughtful and kind.】

【I envy the people at his company for being able to eat Shuo Shuo's bread.】

【The camera teachers following Shuo Shuo are having a good time, unlike the other group, which is really super tired.】

The camera crew, who were being criticized for being "super tired," were indeed quite tired right now.

After Lu Qingyu waited for the camera crew to arrive, he changed his clothes, washed his face, and went out.

"Now, we're going to the company to eat breakfast."

After saying this, Lu Qingyu walked in front, and the camera crew followed behind.

At first, everyone thought there would be a car to pick up Lu Qingyu, or that he would drive himself, but they didn't see a shadow of a car even after walking out of the residential complex.

【No way, is he going to walk to work?】

【He doesn't have to do this just to have a low-carbon, eco-friendly image.】

【Can't our little brother just like walking?】

【Does he really have to go to the company to eat this meal?】

Lu Qingyu's home was relatively close to his workplace. At this time, driving would be stuck in traffic and wouldn't get there even in an hour, so Lu Qingyu chose to walk.

By this time, Song Yushuo had already arrived at the company, and the employees greeted Song Yushuo enthusiastically.

"Boss, you're here."

Song Yushuo handed the bread to his secretary, "Please help me distribute these to our colleagues."

The secretary accepted them with a smile, "Thank you, Boss. This bakery's bread is especially delicious."

Song Yushuo introduced the company to everyone:

"I founded this company a year ago. At the time, my father didn't give me any help; he thought I was just messing around. Who knew it would develop so well."

【Shuo Shuo is being modest; this company's performance is very good.】

【I heard that the employee benefits at Shuo Shuo's company are very good. He is a good boss.】

Song Yushuo glanced at his watch, "Next, we're going to have a meeting. The company has a meeting every morning. I think the morning meeting is very important. I make every employee list out the things they need to do for the day. Only when everyone clearly knows what they need to do can the company develop rapidly."

The audience in the livestream followed Song Yushuo into the morning meeting. The meeting lasted for an hour, and the conference room was full of people.

Song Yushuo listened to what everyone said and made decisions continuously, giving everyone a sense of decisiveness and efficiency.

【Shuo Shuo is too amazing; he's a natural leader.】

【He only came to the entertainment industry to play. If he doesn't do well, he has to go home and inherit the family business. Being a boss is his comfort zone.】

【I really want to work at Shuo Shuo's company. If he were my boss, I would definitely be happy.】

【As a worker, this kind of morning meeting is truly suffocating. Am I the only one who feels this way?】

The sky was clear, and the temperature was high. The camera crew was carrying their equipment and walking behind Lu Qingyu.

Due to the actions of Song Yushuo's aunt, there were a huge number of haters in Lu Qingyu's livestream. People were arguing over every little thing. From morning until now, the bickering had never stopped.

【I wonder if the teachers from the camera crew have eaten breakfast. Carrying such heavy equipment while being exposed to the sun—doesn't Lu Qingyu have money to call a car?】

【What's wrong with little brother walking for a while in the morning? Where did all these haters come from?】

【If you have money, you call a car every time you go out, right? You don't walk a single step, right?】

The camera teacher had been following Lu Qingyu for fifteen minutes. They couldn't speak, and they didn't know what Lu Qingyu was actually going to do.

The camera teacher wasn't actually tired, but because he was a bit overweight, walking made him sound like he was huffing and puffing.

Once it was 9:00, the first round of firepower voting began.

firepower was purchased by netizens on the livestreaming platform. Each round was limited to one firepower, meaning it could only be cast for one person.

Two minutes later, the voting channel closed. On the right side of the livestreaming platform, one could see the firepower data for both sides.

Song Yushuo: 89,890, Lu Qingyu: 76,867.

Song Yushuo glanced and saw that his firepower was higher than Lu Qingyu's. He smiled calmly.

Lu Qingyu was nothing special after all.

Lu Qingyu also saw it, but looking at it was the same as not looking at it; he didn't care about this data at all.

The firepower in the first round wouldn't be too high because many people were at work at this time. The livestream had just begun, and everyone wasn't in a rush to vote. The evening vote was the most important one.

After walking for a while, Lu Qingyu turned his head and said to the cameraman, "Teacher, keep it up, there's only 500 meters left."

The camera teacher wiped the sweat from his forehead. This movement caused his face to go half out of the frame, and when he tried to move back, his head was suddenly pulled out by Lu Qingyu.

"Hey? Big brother, it's you again."

That's right, this cameraman was the one who had accompanied Lu Qingyu when he participated in his first variety show, running madly for a kilometer and almost losing him.

Lu Qingyu's sense of familiarity immediately came up.

"Big brother, we really have fate."

Everyone could see in the footage that Lu Qingyu was moving left and right in the lens. The camera brother protested silently: He also hadn't expected that the person he was filming this time would be Lu Qingyu again!

Lu Qingyu: "Don't worry, I definitely won't run today."

Cameraman: Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors.
