“That’s perfect,” Ye Zhi smiled faintly. “Have Shi Fan follow you recently to get some experience. You can guide him and let him help you with your tasks.”
Feng Jie looked at Ye Zhi suspiciously. Was she really being this kind? He didn't believe it.
“Shi Fan, I have a few tasks for you. Follow Assistant Feng closely, learn from him, and ask him if you have any questions,” Ye Zhi continued.
Feng Jie: …
This was what he was waiting for! It was still the same thing!
“Alright, Ms. Ye. Please give me your instructions. I will learn well from Assistant Feng,” Shi Fan replied directly.
Feng Jie looked at him resentfully. He hadn’t seen such an innocent person in a long time. Fine then, he would ‘train’ Shi Fan well.
“Firstly, Taoxun plans to collaborate with the Su Corporation on a variety show. The Su Corporation will handle the connections, and Taoxun will be responsible for the live streaming. You can communicate with the Su Corporation about the specific details.”
Shi Fan nodded. Although he hadn’t worked on variety shows before, this was indeed a good opportunity for him to gain experience.
Ye Zhi continued, “Regarding this variety show, I have an idea. Besides the Su Corporation contacting agencies and selecting artists, we can also involve the general public. They can record their own videos to participate in online auditions. Those with high votes and good qualifications in the online auditions can proceed to the offline audition round, and the winners can participate in the variety show competition.”
Shi Fan understood. “This is a good way to increase the popularity of T Live. Ms. Ye, please rest assured, I will handle the online auditions properly!”
“Also, Taoxun’s gaming platform has launched quite a few games recently, hasn’t it? T Live and Taoxun’s gaming platform can collaborate on a game live streaming competition. However, the games participating in the competition should primarily be from Taoxun’s gaming platform.”
Feng Jie secretly glanced at Shi Fan and successfully saw his expression stiffen slightly.
He couldn’t help but let out a sigh. It was time to let this kid see how Ye Zhi made the best use of… no, the best use of people!
Of course, he also admired Ye Zhi greatly.
Ye Zhi’s approach not only increased the popularity of the live streaming application but also boosted the sales of the games on Taoxun’s gaming platform through live streaming. It was a win-win decision.
“Alright,” Shi Fan recovered and agreed.
“In addition…”
Shi Fan felt a bit bewildered. Was there more? He suddenly wondered if he had agreed too hastily before.
Ye Zhi ignored their expressions and continued, “The game ‘Gotcha!’ is about to enter its closed beta. T Live, in conjunction with Taoxun Games, will organize an event with some resource allocation.
Remember to discuss with Bai Xuan and the others to create exclusive in-game skins. Everyone who participates in the event will receive a game gift package, while the top twenty participants will receive physical or cash rewards.”
Shi Fan’s expression immediately turned a little mournful. Was this the life Assistant Feng lived every day?
Ye Zhi waved her hand. “Alright, that’s all for now. You can go and get busy. If you need anything, just ask.”
Shi Fan breathed a sigh of relief, finally done. But what did she mean by ‘just these few things’?!
The two of them walked out of Ye Zhi’s office. Feng Jie asked with a smile, “How was it?”
“Ms. Ye really knows how to seize opportunities and utilize all available resources. It’s just…” Shi Fan said with a hint of melancholy, “Does Ms. Ye have too high an opinion of me? She’s practically treating me like Superman!”
“Have confidence in yourself!” Feng Jie patted his shoulder with emotion. “Vice President Shi, I believe you will not disappoint Ms. Ye’s expectations!”
Shi Fan: ???
Why did he feel like those words were a bit off? Why did he suddenly feel like his future was bleak!

On the weekend, Ye Zhi had lunch at her neighbor’s house. The butler looked at them eagerly. “Young Master, Miss Ye, would you like to go out for a stroll this afternoon? A new amusement park recently opened in Kyoto, and I heard it’s quite fun.”
“Another day,” Ye Zhi sighed. “I’ve been a bit busy lately. On weekends, I don’t want to do anything but watch dramas and videos, just wasting my life away.”
The butler immediately said, “Perfect timing, our home’s audiovisual room recently got a huge screen with excellent sound and picture quality! Do you have any movies you’d like to watch? I can have the Young Master play them for you!”
Ye Zhi heard this and turned to look at Qi Xuan. “Is that convenient?”
“Convenient, let’s go,” Qi Xuan stood up and led the way, Ye Zhi quickly following.
The audiovisual room was on the second basement level. They took the elevator down. Ye Zhi marveled at the luxuriously decorated audiovisual room.
“What movie do you want to watch?” Qi Xuan asked.
Ye Zhi thought for a moment. “Isn’t today the premiere of ‘Beauty Showdown’? Can we watch that?”
Qi Xuan was a little surprised. “Isn’t that from Feilong Live?”
“Yes,” Ye Zhi smiled faintly. “Know your enemy, know yourself, and you will win a hundred battles!”
Qi Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly. “I heard that this program has a lot of discussion. Are you trying to see if it has any merit?”
She nodded. “Kind of. I heard their live stream started in the morning, from picking up the 24 contestants and them moving into the villa. This method is quite new, and the discussion online is quite high.”
Qi Xuan said nothing more. He opened Feilong Live, found the program ‘Beauty Showdown,’ and started playing it.
On the large new screen that had recently been installed, a pointed chin and a torn neckline directly appeared, followed by a high-pitched scream.
Qi Xuan: …
Ye Zhi: …
Ye Zhi felt very awkward. She really hadn’t expected to see such a scene the moment it started. Although her relationship with Qi Xuan was very good, watching such a scene together felt a bit inappropriate.
She needed to say something to ease the atmosphere.
“Oh dear, they’re showing the cleavage,” Ye Zhi gave a forced laugh, then turned to look at Qi Xuan, only to see that Qi Xuan had already consciously averted his gaze and wasn’t looking at the screen at all.
“Uh…” Ye Zhi continued, “The way they’re screaming, it’s like someone’s kettle is boiling!”
“It does sound similar,” Qi Xuan was amused by her comparison.
Ye Zhi picked up the remote control and pressed it. “Let’s turn the volume down a bit, otherwise, the butler might misunderstand that we’re watching something strange.”
Qi Xuan’s ears heated up. He wished for that day to come true.
They continued watching, and Ye Zhi finally understood what had happened earlier.
After the contestants arrived at the villa, a conflict erupted over room and bed assignments.
The previous scene showed one contestant grabbing another contestant’s clothes, causing the latter to accidentally expose herself on camera.
After that, the two of them started arguing, and others joined in, some urging for peace, some wanting to clarify things, some using passive-aggressive language, and some feigning victimhood. In short, it was quite lively.
Qi Xuan frowned throughout. “Do people nowadays… like watching this?”
