Chapter 172 Interviewing Streamers
Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing about the interview for new streamers, as it would significantly reduce Liu Ran's workload.
Chen Yang followed Liu Ran toward another office.
Liu Ran looked at Chen Yang with some surprise and asked with a smile, "What? Chen Yang, are you really going to be an interviewer?"
Chen Yang rolled his eyes and replied, "Wife, I'm one of the four founding members of this startup. Even though my position is driver, I'm still very important, okay?"
Liu Ran quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, you are indeed very important. Alright, come, come, come, how about you take the middle seat?"
Liu Ran smiled and pressed Chen Yang into the middle seat of the office. Su Ya and Liu Xiaomei both laughed at the scene.
The materials were already prepared on the table, and the resumes of the twenty streamers waiting outside were clearly laid out.
Chen Yang picked up the documents and looked. This time, Yangyangyang Company had invested heavily to poach established streamers, so all twenty of these individuals had over three years of experience and already had their own fan bases.
Furthermore, all twenty female streamers were chosen for their looks. The only differences were in their personalities and educational backgrounds.
As Chen Yang browsed through the streamers' profiles, he noticed that they all looked basically the same. It seemed that those who became popular on video were generally of a similar type. This kind of sharpened jawline was very advantageous on screen.
While flipping through, Chen Yang suddenly stopped. He let out a soft "Hmm" and stared at one streamer's profile, his brow furrowed.
Liu Ran, hearing Chen Yang's sound, turned to look and then said, "Oh, you mean this streamer? Her name is Lin Xiaoli. She was the streamer I valued the most before."
"Look at her, she graduated from a key Project 985 university. After graduation, she started her own studio and became a streamer. In one year, she garnered three million followers and her reputation was excellent. I've watched her previous streams; she always won over fans with her talent, never relying on vulgar jokes or revealing attire to attract followers."
"Her fans are the most loyal. High education, high颜值, high emotional intelligence, high IQ, and impeccable character. This Lin Xiaoli was truly the perfect candidate in my eyes before."
"It's a shame that a year ago, her face was scratched by falling plaster, leaving a large scar. From then on, her career as a streamer became bumpy."
"In fact, she must have interviewed with many companies before. This time, I let her pass the first two screening rounds. It's partly due to empathy. After all, I was disfigured before. Seeing her face marred and still striving to be a streamer, to be in this industry, I truly admire her."
"So, I gave her this opportunity, letting her advance to this final interview along with the other nineteen streamers."
Chen Yang rubbed his chin as he listened to Liu Ran's explanation. An idea instantly sparked in his mind. Chen Yang nodded and said, "Then it seems this Lin Xiaoli is exceptionally suitable!"
Liu Ran was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Alas! I actually want to choose her, but the streaming industry is very demanding in terms of appearance, especially since our product is cosmetics, which further emphasizes the need for good looks."
Chen Yang merely smiled, noncommittally.
At this moment, the twenty flamboyant female streamers outside the office lined up. They were all somewhat well-known individuals. Even if they weren't looking for a job, relying solely on their fans, they could earn at least a hundred thousand yuan a month.
The reason they were applying to Yangyangyang Company this time was not just the money; they were more interested in the promotional budget promised by the Yangyangyang brand company.
In addition to guaranteeing streamers a base salary of one million yuan, Yangyangyang Company also offered high commissions and at least ten million yuan in promotional and advertising expenses annually.
For many streamers, reaching the next level was incredibly difficult and required external support. The present Yangyangyang Company undoubtedly presented a great opportunity.
The twenty streamers sat in a row, engaging in superficial conversations with each other.
At this moment, the eyes of the other streamers occasionally drifted toward Lin Xiaoli, who was seated at the far east end.
They naturally recognized Lin Xiaoli.
Lin Xiaoli could be considered an early established, well-known streamer. She was once an idol to many of these women, even an insurmountable mountain.
However, after Lin Xiaoli's face was scratched by falling plaster, her streaming career plummeted, which in turn provided opportunities for others to surpass her.
"This Lin Xiaoli really doesn't give up! She's disfigured and turned into an ugly monster, yet she still wants to be in the streaming industry!"
"This woman, frankly speaking, wants to have her cake and eat it too. Look at her demeanor when she streams, so serious and proper. She even always scolds current streamers in her live broadcasts for wearing revealing clothes and speaking obscenely, as if she's the only virtuous one."
"I know. Before, she could attract perverted men with her pure face. But now? Her face is gone, her career has declined, and she still refuses to admit her mistakes!"
"This woman is truly arrogant. With such tempting conditions offered by Yangyangyang Company this time, how could they possibly let her succeed?"
The surrounding women whispered, chattering, and mocking. The streaming industry was inherently a superficial profession, and many hadn't even graduated from high school.
Lin Xiaoli sat at the far east end, listening to the sarcastic remarks of her peers. Her heart felt as if it were bleeding.
She loved the streaming industry and had always wanted to make a living from it. Even in her darkest moments, right after her face was disfigured, she had not given up on this dream.
She believed that even if she was no longer beautiful, she could still conquer her audience with her talent, her conversation, and her knowledge.
However, she was wrong. The other streamers, already beautiful with the aid of beauty filters, wore revealing clothes and adopted provocative poses.
Lin Xiaoli found herself unable to compete with them.
This was Lin Xiaoli's last chance. If she didn't get hired by Yangyangyang Company this time, she might truly never work as a streamer again.
Just then, Su Ya spoke from inside the room, "Please, streamer number one, enter the interview room. The interview begins."
Lin Xiaoli took a deep breath. She glanced at her number plate, twenty.
She clenched her fist, prepared for one last gamble.
Hopefully, there would be a good outcome.
