74: Chapter 74 Basic Skills

"Are you really Brother Qingshan?"

On the way back to the hotel, Duorou asked this question at least ten times.

After receiving repeated confirmation from Zhang Shan, she finally believed that the young, handsome man she saw was indeed Brother Qingshan.

"Oh my god, this is so different from what I imagined."

"What kind of Brother Qingshan did you imagine? A big belly, greasy face, short legs, chubby face? Or a handsome middle-aged uncle, or perhaps a stern, elderly man in his sixties?"

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Duorou raised her hand and slapped his arm, pouting, "What are you saying? It's getting more and more ridiculous."

She immediately realized that this gesture might be a bit inappropriate, and then said in a shy, quiet voice, "I didn't imagine you that badly."

Seeing Duorou's shy demeanor, Zhang Shan secretly found it funny: Seriously, why are you acting all ladylike for me?

Although he thought this, Zhang Shan didn't say it out loud, instead changing the subject, "Have you been to Shengtian before?"

Seeing Zhang Shan change the subject, Duorou also relaxed and said, "I came once when I was a child."

"Hmm, then you can have a good time in Shengtian for a couple of days."

Zhang Shan suddenly felt like a local tour guide; he had just taken Miaomiao around Shengtian City these past two days, and now he had to take another one around.

"Okay."

Having passed the initial excitement, Duorou became noticeably shy and reserved.

Zhang Shan didn't say anything else. She was likely in a period of social awkwardness, and a moment of silence might be better.

Once they got to know each other better, things would become more familiar.

The car stopped smoothly at the hotel entrance, and Zhang Shan brought Duorou to his room.

He had originally only intended to stay for one night, but he hadn't expected people to keep showing up one after another.

Zhang Shan decided to just stay here for the long term.

After entering the room, Duorou put down her luggage and took a look around the entire room.

Then she said in a slightly embarrassed, quiet voice, "Um, Brother Qingshan, am I supposed to stay here?"

Zhang Shan, who was about to change his shoes, heard this, turned around, and slowly leaned in, pinning Duorou against the wall.

Then he braced his hands against the wall, stared into Duorou's eyes, and asked, "What do you think?"

Feeling the breath from Zhang Shan, the sound of Duorou's own heartbeat made her head spin.

"I... woo..."

She was about to speak, but Zhang Shan didn't give her another chance and directly covered her mouth.

[Ding, Duorou's favorability towards you + 8.]

[Ding, the favorability of the streamer you bound has reached 100 points. Reward obtained: Super Robot Technology Team.]

[The technical team will arrive in 7 days, please keep your phone accessible.]

An hour later, Zhang Shan appeared in the hotel restaurant with Duorou.

After ordering a seafood feast, the two chatted while eating.

Zhang Shan dutifully resumed his role as a tour guide: "Do you want to go for a stroll this afternoon?"

Hearing that Zhang Shan wanted to take her shopping, Duorou's calves suddenly trembled.

She had taken a flight today and was already a bit tired.

She hadn't expected Brother Qingshan to make her hold the Splits for almost an hour.

Her calves and hips were still sore.

If she had known, she wouldn't have shown off her dance skills to Brother Qingshan.

Duorou shot Zhang Shan an annoyed look and said, "Brother Shan, I'm a bit tired. I don't want to go anywhere; let's just rest at the hotel."

Zhang Shan nodded, then peeled a crab leg and handed the meat to Duorou.

"This leg meat is delicious. You should eat more to nourish your legs, hehe."

Seeing Zhang Shan's playful smile, Duorou immediately protested, "Aiya~ stop saying that, it's all your fault..."

"My fault? Who told you to show off to me? I had to test your basic skills."

"As a dance streamer, if your basic dance skills aren't up to par, how can you dance? After my test, your basic skills are excellent."

Zhang Shan said seriously, then gave Duorou a thumbs up to show his praise.

"Then I suppose I have to thank Brother Shan." Duorou took a big bite of the crab meat, found it really delicious, and then took another bite.

Seeing that Duorou liked it, Zhang Shan peeled another one for her and said, "No need to thank me; I plan to test you much more."

"Huh?"

Duorou opened her mouth in shock, and the crab meat in her mouth fell out.

"What are you 'huh'-ing at? I'm teasing you. Hurry up and eat. You're an adult, how are you still dropping food while eating?"

Duorou was half-believing, half-doubting. She quickly swallowed the meat in her mouth, then begged for mercy, "Good brother, please let me off, okay? My legs are still trembling; I really can't practice the Splits anymore."

Practicing the Splits was profound and stimulating, but it was too tiring.

She really couldn't practice anymore.

"Alright, alright, I promise you. You can rest this afternoon; I have something to deal with in a while."

"Mm-hmm, Brother Shan, you're the best."

"Hurry up and eat."

After they finished eating, Zhang Shan sent Duorou back to her room to rest, then prepared to head to the company to hear Mu Qingwan's report.

On the way, Zhang Shan opened the system panel.

[Streamer: Duorou] [Age: 24] [Height: 165cm] [Weight: 102 jin] [Appearance: 84] [Figure: 94 (D)] [Charm: 89] [Status: Healthy] [Favorability: 100 (max)]

He took a look at the reward he got for Duorou's favorability reaching 100 points.

[Super Robot Technology Team: Master future super robot technology, allowing you to grasp core competitiveness...]

The super AI technical team hadn't arrived yet, and now here came a future super robot technology team.

The system was becoming increasingly abstract. Why make me master so many awesome technologies? To rule the world?

24th floor of the building.

After two days, Doubao Entertainment Media Company and Qingshan Technology Company were almost fully prepared.

Mu Qingwan had directly rented the 24th floor of the building as the company's headquarters.

Everyone from the Wealth Team was temporarily arranged to be with Doubao Entertainment.

Looking at the well-organized company environment, Zhang Shan couldn't help but praise Mu Qingwan's abilities in his heart.

"Boss, the registration for both companies has passed the review, and the licenses will be processed soon."

"The MCN entry application for Douyin has also been submitted and is expected to be approved by tomorrow."

"The Super AI technical team will also arrive tonight."

"However, the funds you provided have been mostly spent, and company funds are a bit tight. For the entertainment company, building the Livestream Room is the biggest expense; renting the venue and various equipment will still require a lot of investment."

"Also, for the technology company, after the technical team arrives, we need to purchase a batch of high-performance computers and servers, which is also a significant expense."

"In addition, the Super Robot Technology Team will arrive in seven days, and more funds will be needed then. Therefore, Boss, you need to invest more capital."

After listening to Mu Qingwan's report, Zhang Shan fell into deep thought.

According to the budget provided by Mu Qingwan, building a group Livestream Room would require an investment of at least over a million.

He only had 4 million left in his hands. After deducting company operating expenses, he could scrape together at most 2 million.

That would only be enough for one Livestream Room. But that was enough.

As long as he got the setup running, he could get the company operating.

Actually... Zhang Shan turned his gaze to Mu Qingwan and suddenly had a good idea.

Actually, livestreaming doesn't necessarily require building some Livestream Room, and you don't even need to recruit streamers from outside.

For livestreaming, isn't having a mobile phone enough?

Mu Qingwan could handle this.

"Ahem, Mu Qingwan..." Zhang Shan explained his idea to Mu Qingwan, but he didn't expect her to refuse.

And the answer Mu Qingwan gave left Zhang Shan feeling very shocked.

"Boss, you cannot send gifts to yourself."

"I didn't send gifts to myself... Huh? You..."

"Yes, all team members belong to you and are equivalent to yourself, so you cannot send me gifts."

"Then you all..."

"Don't worry, we are all living human beings. They are unaware of your situation. Although I know, after finishing my communication with you, I will also lose this memory and it will only be activated again after the next keyword trigger."

"Okay, I understand."

Simply put, she's the system's spokesperson.

Zhang Shan quickly accepted the setting for Mu Qingwan and the others; after all, he already had a system, so what else was impossible?

Since Mu Qingwan wouldn't work, he would have to recruit other streamers.

As long as the conditions offered are good enough, recruiting streamers is quite easy.

These days, there are countless people who want to make a living off the internet.

As for Miaomiao, Duorou, and the others, Zhang Shan didn't want them to join his company for the time being.
