Chapter 406 Why are you shouting so loudly?

As the light and shadow on this half of the screen lit up.

In the image, the familiar spacious office was well-lit.

The already boiling public screen of the livestream room was now like a heavy bomb had been dropped into it.

Hundreds of thousands of online viewers watched Director Liu, Liu Jianguo, and their emotions instantly reached a climax.

As Liu Jianguo's image appeared on the screen.

At this moment, the bullet chat went wild again.

It covered the entire screen like a torrential downpour.

Netizens, never ones to shy away from a spectacle, commented: "Hahaha, Director Liu definitely can't stand it anymore."

"(Facepalm) Didn't they say that Director Liu was the one who asked the Streamer to produce this fire-fighting equipment? But now... I don't even know what to say."

"Haha, the classic scene we've all been waiting for is about to start. The Streamer is finally going to find out the truth."

Besides these, countless schadenfreude comments were scrolling rapidly across the public screen.

"Selling melon seeds and mineral water in the front row, waiting for the Main Streamer's mental breakdown!"

"The officials are personally stepping in to close the net. Let's see how he tries to spin this one!"

...

Sitting in the spacious and sturdy cockpit of the armored vehicle.

Li Jiajun's gaze swept over the dense text on the screen.

The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Li Jiajun was quite happy to see Uncle Liu, Liu Jianguo, connecting with him via voice link.

He completely ignored the Netizens' mockery and instead played his traditional role.

He pretended not to see those pessimistic comments.

Along with that, his carefree nature unconsciously surfaced again.

He directly turned his inner thoughts into a livestream narration, muttering into the microphone:

"See, it's useless to ask. Netizens are usually quite capable of arguing in the livestream room."

"But at a critical moment like this, they rely entirely on their imaginations, hoping all day for me to fail."

"Uncle Liu is a high-ranking official who is busy with a myriad of affairs every day. How could he have time to put on some 'classic scene' with me?"

"He clearly saw that the fire-fighting equipment I just showed has such superior performance and such affordable prices, so he thought Uncle Liu was here to endorse and promote them for him."

This blatant self-praise was transmitted through the internet.

The audience in the livestream room was instantly amused.

"Main Streamer, wake up already!!"

"What the hell do you mean by 'endorsement and promotion'!"

...

Li Jiajun remained unmoved.

He leaned his face closer to the phone camera mounted on the console.

His face was instantly filled with a bright and sincere smile.

He was just about to greet Uncle Liu.

"Unc—"

Before he could finish his sentence.

In the image on the other end of the video.

Liu Jianguo's face, which had been relatively calm, was now visibly flushed.

The veins on the old comrade's forehead were throbbing.

The nameless fire suppressed in his chest was completely ignited after seeing Li Jiajun's 'seeking praise' expression.

Before Li Jiajun could finish his pleasantries.

He saw Uncle Liu, Liu Jianguo, roaring with a red face on the screen:

"You brat, I told you to produce fire-fighting equipment. What on earth did you produce?"

This sentence was mixed with endless bitterness and fury.

The thunderous voice directly penetrated the microphone's pickup, making the eardrums of hundreds of thousands of people buzz.

Seeing this, the Netizens were all overjoyed.

"Hahaha, official fury!"

"Buy a fire extinguisher and get a Thermobaric Bomb for free. How do you expect Director Liu to praise you?"

...

Roared at like that, Li Jiajun suddenly felt a bit aggrieved.

He blinked blankly.

The slightly cracking roar was still echoing in his ears.

'Wait, this isn't how the script is supposed to go.'

'Where did Uncle Liu's anger come from?'

The stomach full of pleasantries he had prepared was forced back down.

He was speechless to the extreme.

He had stayed up late working hard on drawings, racking his brains for the safety of firefighters.

Whether it was the exoskeleton to solve physical stamina issues, the fully armored vehicle for harsh environments, or finally, that Thermobaric Bomb to eliminate the fire source.

Every single one was created with an attitude of striving for perfection. Even if there was no credit, there was at least the hard work, right?

He pursed his lips at the camera:

"Uncle Liu, why are you shouting so loudly? I did produce fire-fighting equipment. Besides, you should have been watching my livestream just now; so many fire-fighting equipment buyers were scrambling for them."

These words were spoken with absolute confidence.

...

Hearing these words that still showed a lack of awareness of the situation, Liu Jianguo almost laughed out of anger.

The old comrade's chest heaved violently.

He felt his vision go dark for a moment.

The enamel tea cup with red characters in his hand was trembling slightly.

Recalling the Old General's questioning on the phone, the mocking comfort from his old friends in the military, and then looking at the innocent face of the young man on the screen.

'What the hell do you mean by fire-fighting equipment buyers!'

'You made an RPG with a ten-kilometer range! You created a tracked chassis with armor thickness that crushes active service models! You even used Thermobaric Bombs as fire extinguishers to start a price war!'

'Those guys who were tearing each other apart in the bullet chat for equipment, throwing away all their dignity—you call them fire-fighting buyers?!'

This feeling of talking past each other made Liu Jianguo feel deeply powerless.

Li Jiajun is truly someone who won't admit defeat until he's faced with the grim reality.

Just talking wasn't going to wake up this stubborn young man.

...

Liu Jianguo closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath of the cool air in the room.

He tried to calm his emotions to avoid having a heart attack on the spot.

When he opened his eyes again.

Then, Liu Jianguo looked at the stubborn young man and took a deep breath.

He spoke in a tone tinged with a slight chill.

He said, "You said fire-fighting equipment buyers are scrambling for them, right?"

Li Jiajun sat in the armored vehicle's cockpit.

He nodded with great certainty.

"Yeah, a Thermobaric Fire Extinguishing Bomb for five thousand yuan—it's cheap and effective. Who wouldn't want it?"

"I saw that the connection requests in the backend were almost overflowing just now."

He even tilted his chin up proudly.

On the other end of the video.

Then, Liu Jianguo sneered and said, "I've already invited them. Go ahead and approve all their connection requests."

...

Facing such a request.

Li Jiajun wasn't afraid at all.

'I'll approve them. It's the perfect chance for Uncle Liu to see for himself how popular my products are.'

He reached out his finger.

He tapped quickly on the phone's backend interface.

Looking at the rows of digital IDs waiting to be connected, he felt delighted.

'This one called Northwest Tiger must be from the Northwest Frontier Fire Brigade.'

'That one called Eastern Sword is probably from the Coastal Chemical Plant Procurement Office.'

'They're all big customers!' This thought popped into his head.

He couldn't help but voice his inner thoughts as narration again:

"Since Uncle Liu wants to see our hot sales, I'll fulfill that request."

"family, this is what they call 'true gold fears no fire.' A good product naturally gets official endorsement."

While speaking cheerfully, he followed Uncle Liu's words and approved the connection requests in the backend one by one.

Beep—

Beep—

Several crisp system notification sounds rang out in succession.

The livestream room screen, which was originally split in two.

With the screen splitting, it instantly divided into several small square windows.

Countless eyes stared intently at the newly appearing images.

Then, one by one, big shots from the Military Regions appeared in the livestream room.

Those sets of crisp, dark military uniforms and the glittering gold general stars on their shoulders were particularly eye-catching under the high-definition lens.
