17: Mission in progress: Set a flag

Mei Hong blinked, feeling a little flustered. It was true that Wu Ya had a connection to her, but she wasn't her husband's relative.

Someone had pulled strings to find her, hoping to get Wu Ya an internal recommendation and guarantee her full-time position. Mei Hong saw the red envelope and readily agreed. Unexpectedly, at the same time, the station hired another new person, whose academic qualifications were even better than Wu Ya's.

She immediately brought that new person, Zhao Yuling, under her wing. As long as Zhao Yuling stayed obediently with her, some materials would naturally not be touched by this newcomer, and the higher-ups wouldn't notice her.

"That's right, I've seen Wu Ya's academic qualifications and major, and they are indeed quite suitable for our station, so I thought of recommending her to join."

Mei Hong replied naturally. She had just figured it out. Although Wu Ya's qualifications were a bit lacking, they still met the station's requirements. Since the station had an internal recommendation channel, it was naturally reasonable. Moreover, from the current perspective, Wu Ya's performance was much better than Zhao Yuling's.

The supervisor nodded, said nothing, and handed the phone in his hand to Mei Hong.

"Hehe, speaking of which, it's my fault. As Little Zhao's mentor, I didn't guide her well. supervisor, please don't be angry. I'll take some time to guide her at noon."

Mei Hong said, glancing towards the livestream room.

The screen was filled with bullet comments, racing back and forth, quickly scrolling by.

Mei Hong had a bad premonition and slowly shifted her gaze to the number of viewers in the upper right corner of the livestream room, her face turning pale.

20000+.

Mei Hong's face was pale for a moment, then quickly flushed, a complete change of expression.

"I really didn't expect Little Zhao to resort to cheating by buying fake popularity. I didn't expect the supervisor to have such keen insight. Although I appreciate Little Zhao, since she violated company regulations, there's nothing I can say."

She initially couldn't believe it, but then she thought, this means that girl Zhao Yuling bought fake viewers to hang in the livestream room.

This was purely asking for trouble. She hadn't expected this girl to be so good at pretending; she was almost fooled before.

The supervisor looked at Mei Hong's face, which kept alternating between pale and red, with a strange expression. Hearing what she said, he truly hadn't expected his subordinate of so many years to be so incredible.

That face was like something out of a play; he was almost ready to call for emergency help earlier.

The supervisor lost the desire to talk to her further, took back his phone, and started looking at it himself.

Staying in the workplace for a long time, you'll find that some people's thought processes are very abnormal. Just avoid interacting with such people. If they're subordinates, find a way to replace them.

Mei Hong looked at the supervisor in front of her and instantly understood.

It seems her guess was correct after all. Zhao Yuling would be sent packing, Wu Ya would get the full-time position, and her 20,000 benefit fee was secure.

Mei Hong took two bottles of water from the car and walked contentedly towards Wu Ya, handing her one, winking at her, and raising an eyebrow.

Wu Ya saw Mei Hong coming from the supervisor and, combined with the wink, immediately understood. It seemed that Zhao Yuling, who was in the same batch as her, had poor results, and her full-time spot was secure.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel happy. The frequency of her cleavage appearing in the camera increased sharply, causing the number of viewers in the livestream room to rise again, starting with nearly a hundred people watching.

At this moment, Gao Xiaofan was standing by the river, holding his rods with a smile, listening to the system prompt in his mind. A mission had arrived again, and it was a daily mission.

"Please, Host, choose a daily mission and complete it."

"Fans can set flags whenever they want, so why are you, as a Streamer, so timid?"

"1. As a Streamer, how can you easily set a flag? Of course, it's about playing it safe. Reward title 'Steady Victory'."

"Steady Victory Title Effect: Patience +10% when fishing."

"2. Perhaps playing it safe will lead you to victory, but how can you test your limits without pushing yourself? Set a flag in the livestream room: you will definitely catch an Alligator Gar within three rods. If you don't, you'll eat excrement on stream. Complete the flag to receive the title 'Adventurer'."

"Adventurer Title Effect: Fishing income +30% (not limited to catches)."

"3. Setting a flag without high risk doesn't mean I'm timid. Rather, a gentleman doesn't stand under a crumbling wall. The first element of fishing is safety. Set a flag in the livestream room: you will definitely catch an Alligator Gar within ten rods. If you don't, you'll wash your hair while standing on your head on stream, and explain the reason after completion. Reward title 'Safety Helmet'."

"Safety Helmet Title Effect: You will never be in life-threatening danger while fishing."

Three choices, three rewards, all titles. But compared to previous miscellaneous titles like (Truly Criminal, Worker), this was a world of difference. Each one was a buff.

He felt for the first time the power of the Reward Prediction function. Without Reward Prediction, he would most likely have chosen between 1 and 2, because from the literal meaning of the mission, 3 seemed the most ordinary, yet he hadn't expected the reward to be so outrageous.

The act of fishing itself isn't dangerous, but the habit of fishing can be. Fishing for a long time means exposure to different environments: mountain reservoirs, the sea, under high-voltage lines, etc., and various extreme weather conditions like storms and thunderstorms are all uncertain risk factors.

But with a Safety Helmet, it's like being in an invincible fishing state.

Zhao Yuling, standing behind him, watched Gao Xiaofan spacing out and couldn't help but lean closer, wanting to see what was happening.

Just then, Gao Xiaofan turned, and the two bumped into each other.

Gao Xiaofan's right arm, holding the rods, firmly pressed against Zhao Yuling's full chest. Feeling the warmth and softness from his arm, he instinctively moved away.

Zhao Yuling blushed and took a step back.

Gao Xiaofan gave an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject.

"How many people are in the livestream room now?"

Zhao Yuling, her face still flushed, looked at her phone and softly said,

"Almost 30,000 people."

Gao Xiaofan nodded and walked behind the Gimbal, looking at the phone screen, but some of the bullet comments made him frown.

"Now anyone who streams gets viewers, what a trash Streamer."

"Yeah, I've never seen anyone do both Taiwan Fishing and Lure Fishing. So bold."

"Brainless fans blindly praise him. So many professional Lure Fishing anglers haven't caught anything, and he can? I think he's just trying to piggyback on the hype."

Gao Xiaofan glanced at Zhao Yuling next to him. Zhao Yuling also understood what he meant and handed over the Gimbal with a worried expression.

These negative comments about Gao Xiaofan had appeared a few minutes ago, but she hadn't told him to avoid affecting his mood.

He took the Gimbal, switched the camera to the front lens, pointed it at himself, waved his hand, and softly said,

"Hello everyone, I'm Brother Wo Zi. Everyone usually loves to set flags, right? This time, I'll set one too, how about it?"

As soon as he said this, the bullet comments quickly flooded the screen.
