31: Xinghui makes a high-profile debut

"Next!"

Jiang Chuan supported his forehead in pain; the quality of the interviewees was simply too uneven.

He would only encounter someone with decent professional skills once every ten or even twenty people.

The rest weren't necessarily there to cause trouble, but they were certainly there just for the fun of it—each one more eccentric than the last!

If they were going to be that eccentric, they might as well consider becoming a Streamer; they might actually become popular.

But these people were eccentric yet somehow serious, and their wild, unrestrained ideas gave Jiang Chuan an immense headache.

The interview time passed quickly, and at 5:30 PM, the interviews finally all concluded.

Jiang Chuan flipped through the recruitment list handed over by Du Shaohui; a total of forty-three people had been hired.

Most of them had been snatched up in advance by Tang Ke and the others. Since they were all from the same school, they knew everyone's professional abilities all too well.

One second into an interview, before the interviewee even sat down, Tang Ke and Xu Huaze would start arguing over them.

Xu Huaze was the most shameless, snatching the most; he and Tang Ke had taken twenty-five people right at the start of the interviews.

Fortunately, Lin Qingning stepped in to stop them and kicked them out; otherwise, the other departments wouldn't have been able to get a single person.

Chu Jiaqi was thin-skinned and more reserved. Feeling that she had enough people, she didn't continue selecting, appearing completely out of place next to those two shameless individuals.

Jiang Chuan's eyes twitched, but it wasn't unexpected. Those two still had some sense of proportion.

He stood up, stretched, and took out his phone to find over ten missed calls, all from tech companies.

"Everyone, organize your materials and then gather at the cafeteria!"

Jiang Chuan dialed back as he walked out. Someone answered even though it was past working hours; they were clearly waiting for him.

"President Jiang, the issues with your project have been resolved. I guarantee there won't be any more problems. You can start the trial run tomorrow."

Jiang Chuan gave a couple of perfunctory replies and hung up. Now that the child was lost, they knew to look for it? Where were they earlier?

He took the department heads to the cafeteria to have a small meeting while eating.

Everyone reached a consensus to release the video at 8:00 PM sharp; the Starlight platform was about to face the world!

8:00 PM Sharp, in a residential complex in Shanghai

Xiao Shan, a female college student wearing a JK uniform, was lying on her bed scrolling through Weibo. She was a loyal fan of Xiao Yi and watched every live stream.

She was also a fan of the 'yi-ma-ping-chuan' ship. Before she could wait for the two of them to announce what happened next, Xiao Yi actually stopped streaming.

Left with nothing to do, she scrolled through beauty bloggers on Weibo and looked for the cosmetics they recommended on shopping platforms.

When she found something she particularly liked, she would send the link to her best friend; spending money together made it feel less painful.

As she scrolled, a notification from her 'Close Friends' list popped up.

"Xiao Yi posted on Weibo? Is she about to start streaming!"

Xiao Shan excitedly clicked the pop-up and found a video along with a simple text post.

【So happy to join the Starlight family! The APP is about to go live. I'll be waiting for you in Room 001!】

Xiao Shan didn't have much of a reaction to a Streamer changing platforms; it was just downloading another APP, not a big deal. She curiously clicked on the video.

As a shipper, just one look was enough to give her a mental climax.

Jiang Chuan was wearing formal wear, his short hair slightly tousled to reveal his full forehead. His 'bad boy' handsome face was just too lethal.

Lin Shuyi was wearing a yellow polka-dot puff dress, making her look even more adorable and full of energy.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! They match so well! Is this an official announcement?"

Xiao Shan continued watching with great anticipation, her little feet swinging slightly, reflecting the young girl's current mood.

The video was very short, less than two minutes. Aside from announcing that the two were joining Xinghui Live Streaming, there wasn't much else. It was a very formal video and did not announce a relationship.

But shippers will find their own 'sugar' to eat. She felt this matter was definitely not simple. After watching the video twice, she exited Weibo and searched for the word 'Starlight' on Baidu.

"As expected, things aren't simple. I'm so good!"

Xiao Shan looked proudly at the search results. Above the title of Chairman of Starlight, there was impressively the name Jiang Chuan!

She felt a bit dizzy from the sweetness; this 'Overbearing CEO' plot was too addictive.

"Jiang Chuan opened a live streaming company for Xiao Yi! This is too much spoiling!"

Xiao Shan did the 'Like, Comment, Forward' triple threat and shared the news with her best friend, recounting how her 'little detective' self discovered this shocking secret.

Satisfied with the praise from her best friend, she returned to Weibo intending to watch it one more time.

She was surprised to find that this Weibo post had already broken into the top ten trending topics, and the comments had surpassed ten thousand.

She didn't know what had happened in such a short time. Scrolling through the comments below, the top-liked comment had clearly discovered the same information as her.

【Starlight is a live streaming company Jiang Chuan opened for Xiao Yi!】

【Real or fake? This is too much spoiling, I'm dying of envy~】

【Excuse me, where can I find such an excellent boyfriend? Waiting online! It's urgent!】

【Just a passerby, what happened? Can someone big explain?】

Xiao Shan looked at the comments below and felt a sense that she wasn't alone. It turned out there were so many shippers; she had finally found her tribe!

After scrolling through the comments for a long time, she finally got a bit tired. She opened a video app intending to refresh her mind and check back later.

But as soon as she opened it, she saw those same two familiar faces. Scrolling down, it was a handsome guy she had never seen before announcing he was joining Starlight. Further down, it was still... "My god! How much did Jiang Chuan spend on advertising!"

But this was only the beginning. At 9:00 PM, the well-known first-tier female singer Song Yuexi posted a video on Weibo.

She was wearing a blue formal dress, holding her phone which displayed the Xinghui APP, and introduced it with a smile:

【I tried out Xinghui Live Streaming today. The features are very rich, and there are many activities. Everyone is welcome to use Starlight with me. Watch live streams, use Starlight!】

When Xiao Shan scrolled to this video, she let out a sharp scream and rolled around on her large bed. This was her favorite singer!

【Song Yuexi actually promoted Starlight! Jiang Chuan is my god!】

Xiao Shan was no longer just a shipper; she had become a fanatic fan of Jiang Chuan. This man was too capable, and so handsome!

She suddenly remembered something, stopped her rolling, and typed 'Starlight' into the search bar.

Her little hand kept clicking refresh, and sure enough, before long, more and more celebrities posted promotional videos.

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty!

A total of twenty celebrities posted videos! The lowest status among them was a top second-tier celebrity, and the rest were all first-tier stars.

The entire internet had been completely taken over by Starlight—over sixty Streamers and more than twenty celebrities.

Xiao Yi's Weibo post shot up from tenth place to second on the trending list. Terms related to Jiang Chuan and Starlight occupied three spots on the trending list!

In the top ten Weibo trends, there were a full four related to Starlight!

The number one trending topic was impressively:

【Jiang Chuan Created Xinghui Live Streaming for Female Anchor Xiao Yi!】

No company had ever had such promotional intensity right upon its creation.

Xiao Shan became numb as she watched more and more promotional videos... It wasn't just her who was numb; the entire live streaming industry was numb as they watched one message after another...
