98: Chapter 98, Part 1

Winnie Bear sat in the passenger seat of the Bugatti, looking at Zhang Shan with stars in her eyes.

"Brother, where are we going?"

Winnie Bear spoke in a cutesy voice, that little tone almost as if she were trying to squeeze the life out of herself.

Brother Qingshan was almost exactly as she had imagined.

Young, tall, handsome, rich...

A male god like this actually liked her, and most importantly, he was willing to spend money on her.

Zhang Shan looked Winnie Bear up and down. A button on her shirt had popped open at some point, revealing the lace trim underneath.

Even her black bodycon skirt had ridden up into a micro-skirt due to the friction against the sports seat.

Winnie Bear didn't shy away from Zhang Shan's gaze; instead, she cooperatively puffed out her chest and even relaxed her crossed legs.

"Your outfit looks a bit like a certain life mentor I've seen."

Hearing Zhang Shan mention a life mentor, Winnie Bear immediately thought of the study materials she had watched today, and her legs relaxed even further unconsciously.

"Brother..."

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

A flurry of operations as fierce as a tiger...

"Little Bear... Little Bear?"

"Brother."

"You really lack exercise; you're like this after only running two kilometers?"

"I can't run anymore."

Looking at Winnie Bear, Zhang Shan shook his head.

Sigh, not a single one can go the distance.

It seems holding a villa party is imperative.

Zhang Shan leaned against the headboard to rest his eyes, but in reality, he was checking the system panel.

[Ding, the favorability of your bound streamer has reached 100 points. Reward: Super Battery Technology Team.]

[The technical team will arrive in 4 days. Please keep your phone accessible.]

Hmm, okay.

That works.

The robots have no weaknesses now; they have brains (super AI) and strength (super battery).

A perfect closed loop.

Leave professional matters to professional people.

Zhang Shan transferred 10 million to Mu Qingwan, telling her to rent another floor of office space.

The technical team is getting bigger and bigger, so they can't keep cramming into the same office.

For technical personnel, one must provide the best treatment and working environment.

Currently, the funds in his hands are limited, so he can only take it one step at a time.

Mu Qingwan was very happy upon receiving the transfer from Zhang Shan and reported the company's progress over the past two days.

Actually, there wasn't much progress. The renovation team was working overtime, and all the equipment for the Livestream Room had been ordered; as soon as the renovation was finished, they could be installed immediately.

The backend staff had basically all been recruited, but not a single streamer had been hired yet.

There were many resumes submitted, but almost none met the requirements.

Either their appearance wasn't up to par, or their hard requirements for height and weight didn't meet the standards.

For group streaming, being too short isn't okay, and being too fat isn't okay either.

These are all hard requirements.

Mu Qingwan had already sent people to various art colleges to recruit on-site; passive waiting wouldn't work, so they had to take the initiative.

The progress on the AI team was equally smooth; the technical staff just needed to type out the code from their minds.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Zhang Shan turned to look at Winnie Bear, who was still sprawled on the bed and didn't want to move, and said, "You rest for a while, I'm going to take a shower."

"Hmm... okay, Brother."

Winnie Bear lay on the bed with her head buried in the pillow; she felt a bit annoyed.

Was her performance too poor?

She had clearly learned so many tricks, but when the critical moment came, she hadn't used a single one.

Useless thing.

Feeling light.

After Zhang Shan finished washing up, he didn't return to the bedroom.

Let Little Bear get some good rest.

Sometimes being too sensitive isn't good; she gets easily excited and easily agitated.

Zhang Shan instructed the housekeeper to deliver a meal in an hour, then replied to WeChat messages from several women.

Peach said she missed Brother, Yuyuan said she had prepared the ingredients, Duorou said she had been rehearsing all day, and Rou Rou said her plane had taken off.

Miaomiao also sent a message saying their Guild Competition was about to end.

Zhang Shan opened Douyin and clicked into the Livestream Room; he wanted to see what was going on.

In the Cuican Guild Competition Livestream Room, after Zhang Shan dropped 42 million votes, the point-stacking phase ended quickly.

With Miaomiao in first place with 30 million votes, second place with 18 million, and third place with 10 million.

The others saw that competing for the top three was hopeless, so the subsequent elimination phase proceeded very quickly.

The big bosses of each side acted as if they were completing a mission; they dumped the votes they had agreed upon and then didn't care anymore.

Any pulling, any playing hard to get, any "god of soft hearts"—in the face of tens of millions of votes, it was all a joke.

When Zhang Shan entered, the fourth place had just been eliminated.

Host Dazhuang: "Alright, let us congratulate Hu Hu on taking fourth place... What? Welcome back, Emperor Shan..."

When Da Zhuang saw Zhang Shan enter, he immediately roared, and then played the welcome animation for Emperor Shan.

Originally, he hadn't prepared it, but after Emperor Shan gifted 42 million votes, the head of the operations department had come over to talk to him.

So, he took the opportunity while going to the restroom to copy the welcome animation.

The animation finished playing, and the chat sent "Welcome Emperor Shan" in unison.

Damn.

Zhang Shan looked closely and realized the room moderator had sent a 10,000 diamond lucky bag.

As long as you sent "Welcome Emperor Shan", you could participate.

This... isn't that a bit too... painstaking?

After the fourth place was eliminated, only the top three remained, and Miaomiao also went up on stage.

Fufu held the microphone and first thanked Zhang Shan, then thanked Brother Yuanzhang and the other fans, and finally was regretfully eliminated with 10 million votes.

When it was Ming Kai's turn to solicit votes, the young man had red eyes. He thanked all the fans who supported him and specifically thanked Sister Weiyi.

While Ming Kai was off-stage just now, he had communicated with Sister Weiyi.

He expressed his willingness to return the extra votes Sister Weiyi had gifted him, but Sister Weiyi only replied with two words: "One month."

Seeing these two words, Ming Kai felt incomparably desperate.

My life is over.

Two lines of hot tears couldn't help but flow down.

His teammate next to him thought he was crying from being moved and quickly comforted him: "Kaizi, don't be like this. A real man bleeds but doesn't cry. Sister Weiyi is so good to you, you have to repay her well..."

"Wuu... wuu... wuu..."

"Why are you crowing like a rooster..."

Ming Kai, with tears in his eyes, was regretfully eliminated with 18 million votes, and all the streamers backstage were congratulating him.

Only he knew that for the next month, he would have to work his life away...

Ming Kai was eliminated, and Miaomiao successfully took first place in the Guild Competition with 30 million votes.

Zhang Shan opened the gift interface and lit up "All-Encompassing Fireworks" for Miaomiao.

The fireworks in the Livestream Room hadn't even finished by the time the stream ended.

After the stream ended, Miaomiao sent a message to Zhang Shan immediately.

"Thank you, Brother Shan, I love you."
