Chapter 7

Ning Zhi cast a glance at Hao Bing and said, "While traffic is certainly important, we cannot solely pursue it without restraint. The audience's aesthetic and interests also need to be guided. A live broadcast that is both profound and meaningful is also a form of wealth; if crafted well, it becomes the face of our platform. Such programs are not easily replicable, do you understand?"

Hao Bingxin thought that the promising talent had left, and besides, this "Xie Shuo" was not a long-term anchor of the platform, with a rather aloof style that was not very likable. To put it bluntly, they were not good at being charming to solicit tips, and to have achieved such traffic today was already a special favor from heaven.

Since the big boss has spoken, Hao Bing must respond, "Her popularity is average and is gradually declining, and her personal style is rather cold"

So far, there has not been a single miss; every piece has been completed perfectly.

The difficulty of each song increases progressively, and the dance machine has very high demands on reaction time. Although the duration is not long, the physical exertion is immense. After following four songs, Mi Mi clearly began to struggle for breath, and the rhythm had long since become a complete mess

While Mi was interacting with the live audience to garner votes, Zhen Li stood aside, twisting his neck and wrists, seemingly preparing for a fight, which elicited uproarious laughter in the comments.

Unfortunately, although Zhen Li was completely defeated by Mi Mi on the dance machine, she garnered a lot of sympathy votes from her fans online, who praised her for being magnanimous in applauding Zhen Li, demonstrating such grace even in defeat

The dance machine was quickly transported to the venue by the equipment

In the final piece, Zhen Li achieved a perfect clearance once again, winning resounding applause. Although she was drenched in sweat, she did not dare to remove her hat, fearing that acquaintances might recognize her

The staff quickly retrieved Zhen Li's information and previous live broadcast video clips

As soon as the music started playing, it seemed as if Zhen Li, whose body was barely exposed, transformed into a different person.

Wearing the same white T-shirt, paired with black sporty casual pants and a black baseball cap, the legs look truly long. The smoky makeup brings out a lazy and androgynous charm, exuding a distinctive coolness, indicating that this person is quite a formidable opponent

The outcome of a dance machine game is not determined by who achieves a perfect clearance; rather, the true winner in life is the one who receives the most "gifts" online

Zhen Li poked the brim of her hat with her index finger, took a sip from the mineral water bottle, and said, "Yao Ge, I’m sorry, I won’t make things difficult for you later." She truly did not expect Mi Mi's dancing skills to be so limited; wasn’t it supposed to be her "strong suit"?

To be honest, this competition is not fair to Mi; her physical stamina is significantly inferior to that of Zhen Li, who wakes up at five every day to run. Zhen Li's warm-up seems to have just been completed, her movements becoming increasingly free and graceful, as if she were radiating a dazzling light.

Hao Bing nodded, but inwardly he was scoffing. He spoke with such righteous fervor, yet deep down he probably wanted to change girlfriends again

"Such a good seedling, why hasn't our platform promoted it?" Ning Zhi asked his assistant Hao Bing beside him

The comments scrolling by are all "I am stunned." Those familiar with dance machines know that there are a few legendary songs that most people would never dare to choose, but today watching Zhen Li dance, it was truly effortless.

Mi | Although Mi claps loudly, the expression when facing away from the camera is quite unattractive, and the results of the competition will take a while to be announced. Mi | Mi and Zhen Li have both exited to change.

What is most surprising is that Zhen Li does not exhibit the kind of tension that Mi does; it seems that he is not at all concerned about the signals from the dance machine. Yet, every step he takes perfectly aligns with the rhythm, occurring almost simultaneously with the signals displayed on the screen. It even gives the impression that it is difficult to discern whether Zhen Li is dancing to the beat or if the beat is responding to Zhen Li.

Ning Zhi is the nephew of Ning Bancheng and also the major owner of the live streaming platform where Zhen Li works, so he will certainly pay attention to the platform's grand event

Throughout history, talented women have been more sought after by men than beautiful women, such as the talented Lin

Zhang Ziyao's face was also quite unattractive. When he walked over to Zhen Li's side, he awkwardly said: "The platform has requested that when you give your speech later, you pay attention to Mi Mi's feelings."

Zhang Ziyao let out a sigh of relief; he indeed liked Zhen Li. This girl could be quite proud, yet she was well-versed in the ways of the world. Conversations with her were very easy, and she would never put someone in an awkward position unless absolutely necessary

However, she is indeed a strong female anchor. In the end, Mi Mi simply set up a dance machine beside her and applauded for Zhen Li, which can be considered a graceful way to accept defeat.

As expected of a popular female host, she truly knows how to speak

Due to her full commitment, she was completely immersed in her own emotional release. Zhen Li danced with great vigor, her hands and feet moving gracefully, exuding a strong sense of infectious energy. Although she did not reveal any skin, the gazes that were initially drawn to the fair skin of Mi Mi quickly shifted to Zhen Li after a moment of aesthetic fatigue.

Moreover, the bullet screen is truly a remarkable place, as there are already inquiries about the eyeliner and mascara brands used by Zhen Li. The fact that one can sweat so much without smudging their makeup is also a testament to their skill

Mi has a good figure and a solid foundation in dance. Wearing a short skirt, she stands out when she dances. Just her smooth, slender thighs attract quite a few gazes, and her chest bounces rhythmically, which is also quite captivating.

However, public figures often attract controversy. After this incident, someone quickly leaked information on the forum about Mi Mi not graduating from middle school and coming to City A to work, which caused an uproar among the public. After all, the prevailing attitude in the country places significant importance on academic credentials. Some universities even require accountants handling financial accounts to possess a doctor's degree, and security personnel are typically all master's degree holders.

Alongside the dancing Mi, Mi was also influenced by Zhen Li's energy, gradually relaxing her limbs, and then her accuracy began to decline sharply

Do not misunderstand Ning Zhihua as being fickle; in fact, he is quite devoted, devoted solely to internet celebrities, particularly those who engage in live streaming. He balances his romantic relationships while simultaneously promoting female streamers on his platform, managing both work and life seamlessly

Ning touched his chin with great interest and said, "Such an obscure topic? So you are actually a talented woman."

Sitting in front of the large screen, Ning Zhi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of water, "Who is this female streamer? Why have I never seen her before?"

As for Zhen Li, he has become the opposite representative of "victory without mercy"; in short, without the backing of wealthy fans, everything he does is wrong

However, the dance machine, once the movements become lackluster, can easily resemble a spasm of the limbs. Additionally, due to the need for quick reaction times, the limbs cannot be extended too far; otherwise, there will not be enough time to execute the next beat's action. As a result, individuals tend to become highly tense, and the movements displayed will also appear constrained

Zhen Li was left neglected, after all, no one wants to interview a loser and ask her what it feels like to lose

The dance machine of Mi can only be considered average, but every step can hit the beat, with an accuracy rate of up to 98 percent

Zhen Li ignored the request from Brother Xiang and the spectators below to take off her hat. However, due to the impressive rhythm and style of her dance moves just moments ago, everyone felt that she must possess an extraordinary personality. Not taking off her hat transformed what could have been seen as impolite into a display of individuality

In contrast, Mi was not so composed; she cared too much about winning and losing, occasionally glancing at Zhen Li, resulting in many missed opportunities. Her confidence dwindled, and her jumps became increasingly lackluster. If she hadn't been holding a microphone, she probably would have followed the example of the scoundrels and thrown it away.

Su Gege in the audience felt a cold sweat for Zhen Li. Although Su Gege had once spent some time as a delinquent during her second year of middle school, the allowance given to her by her family made playing dance machines in arcades a rather lowbrow choice. Naturally, she had never seen Zhen Li play on a dance machine.

There is a chorus of voices on the bullet screen demanding the removal of the hat

However, this tactic successfully led Mi and her onlooking audience to underestimate the situation

Mi Mi gracefully descended from the throne. Today, she wore a white T-shirt paired with a white ultra-short pleated skirt, embodying a tennis style that appeared youthful and lively. However, upon closer inspection, Zhen Li noticed that Mi Mi's unfiltered appearance was less than ideal; it could be said that if she had chosen the option to go without makeup, Mi Mi would have undoubtedly lost.

In the first round, Zhen Li selected a piece, choosing a simple one, which, in contrast to her earlier serious warm-up, sparked a wave of laughter in the bullet comments.

The movements are clean, the limbs are strong, and the gaze is focused

The camera shifts to Mi. During the interview for her victory speech, she tearfully said: "I did not expect everyone to support and embrace me like this, it has given me a tremendous surprise. I will work even harder and more diligently in my live broadcasts, and I will make sure not to disappoint everyone. At the same time, I would like to thank my challenger, as she has made me aware of my many shortcomings, and I will strive to improve twice as much."

Xiang Ge took the opportunity to present a script he had prepared in advance, revealing Mi Mi's background. He crafted an inspirational image of her as someone who emerged from a small town, working hard to support her family, taking care of her elderly parents and younger brother, hoping to elicit a few tears. Unfortunately, Xiang Ge's ability to evoke emotion fell far short of that of CCTV, leaving only an awkward scene.

One can only regret the narrow defeat

She has a strong foundation in dance, but it may not necessarily be true passion; rather, it was one of the few outlets for her to express herself before the age of fifteen

Mi is also sizing up Zhen Li

Mi began to throw a tantrum as soon as she arrived backstage, questioning how the platform selected its participants, accusing it of deliberately making things difficult for her, and loudly declaring her intention to withdraw

Mi's live streaming room enjoys high popularity, especially since she has the support of the platform's board of directors as a backing. Therefore, the platform hosts can only smile and appease her, and then they go to find Zhang Ziyao for a discussion
