Chapter 59 - The Person Behind Jiang Xun Is Qin Mufeng

At 8 pm, Jiang Xun started another livestream, which surprised all the people who were following her.

[I thought I wouldn’t be able to watch Jiangjiang’s livestream again until next Saturday.]

“[Why did Jiangjiang suddenly start a livestream today? There wasn’t even an announcement about it. It’s a good thing I was already on Shanpin when she started, or I would have missed it.]

It had only been a day, yet she apparently already had a nickname amongst her viewers.

The surprise wasn’t limited to her followers, either; Chengnan was also very surprised. He had been ordered by Mufeng to keep an eye on Jiang Xun’s livestreams, but since he was worried about missing any due to his being busy with work, he turned on notifications for Jiang Xun so that he would be informed whenever she started streaming.

Thus, just as Jiang Xun started streaming, Chengnan received a call from the general manager of the livestreams, Wang Yicheng, after which he immediately called Mufeng. “President, Jiang Xun suddenly started streaming just now.”

“Tell Shanpin to promote Jiang Xun’s livestream on the home page,”Mufeng immediately instructed.

Chengnan quickly went to tell Yicheng his orders, but Yicheng couldn’t help but gossip. “Assistant Zhang, are President Qin and Jiang Xun…”

The corner of Chengnan’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself, “Even if you asked me, I wouldn’t know!”

“Who knows what the president is thinking? Since he’s already given the order, hurry up and do it. Let people see Jiang Xun’s live stream as soon as possible,” he urged.

After Yicheng gave the order, he then said to Chengnan, “However, even if Mr. Qin hadn’t said anything, the company plans to focus on promoting Jiang Xun. She’s quite popular, and her fans are growing very fast. To be honest, she’s the fastest growing influencer I’ve seen ever since Shanpin was created.”

“She’s still on probation, though. If her popularity and fan growth can continue, we plan to sign her on.” Yicheng lowered his voice mysteriously, “That’s why I wanted to ask you about Jiang Xun’s relationship with Mr. Qin. Is it suitable for us to sign her on?”

Chengnan thought that Yicheng was really an old fox! He was beating around the bush so much before getting to the point!

“I really don’t know.” Chengnan had no choice but to say. “How about this: I’ll ask the president for his opinion.”

“Yes, please do!” Yicheng agreed decisively. This would be a good opportunity to see Mufeng’s attitude.

With Shanpin promoting Jiang Xun’s livestream behind the scenes, both fans and non-fans knew that she was streaming, so the number of people in the live chat soared to over two million in just a few minutes.

Mufeng was watching her live stream when he received a call from Chengnan.

“Next time, don’t call me when Jiang Xun is streaming,” Mufeng said disdainfully as he picked the phone up.

“…Yes, President.” Chengnan inwardly complained that Mufeng was becoming more and more difficult to please. He then said, “Shanpin’s general manager, Wang Yicheng, just told me that they are interested in signing Jiang Xun on.”

Though Chengnan didn’t have to say anything, Mufeng could guess why Yicheng would tell him about this.

That sly fox.

Mufeng snorted. “Sure, he can sign her on, but he has to personally convince Jiang Xun.”

After a brief pause, he said, “Forget it, I’ll tell Yicheng personally.”

After hanging up the phone, Mufeng took out his tablet and turned on Jiang Xun’s livestream on it. This way, even if he called Yicheng, he wouldn’t miss out on watching it.

In the meantime, Yicheng was anxiously waiting for Chengnan’s reply, but he didn’t expect Mufeng to call him personally.

The hand which he was using to hold his phone trembled lightly before he accepted the call. “President Qin.”

Although Shanpin had its own person in charge, the biggest shareholder of the company was Qin Yang. As a result, Mufeng’s words were more effective than Shanpin’s CEO.

“Shanpin can sign Jiang Xun on,” Mufeng said, “but only if she is willing. If not, then forget it, but if she’s fine with it, then you can be her manager and take care of her personally. Also, her resources must be under my supervision.”

In other words, even if Yicheng were to be a manager, he would just be a figurehead. The real person behind Jiang Xun would be Qin Mufeng himself.

Yicheng couldn’t help but curse in his heart. What was Mufeng playing at?

Wouldn’t it be great if he directly became Jiang Xun’s manager?

Yicheng could even imagine Mufeng as some kind of godlike figure behind Jiang Xun.

Without mentioning the fact that Jiang Xun was already dominating the streamer scene, with Mufeng backing her, if she really wanted to develop herself more in entertainment, she could do whatever she wanted.

“Okay,” Yicheng agreed immediately.

As he hung up the phone, he wondered what the relationship between Jiang Xun and Mufeng was. Although he still couldn’t figure it out, he could tell how much Mufeng valued Jiang Xun.

In which case, he should also value Jiang Xun very much.

Jiang Xun didn’t know what Mufeng had secretly done for her.

The number of viewers in her livestream room had already reached over three million, which was a number not easily attainable even by top internet influencers on Shanpin.

Some netizens scolded her as soon as they tuned into the stream.

[She’s definitely getting the favorite daughter treatment, right? She suddenly started a livestream, and Shanpin media even promoted her. Not even Lin Youyan, who’s a sponsored streamer, has ever received such treatment.]

[Did Jiang Xun sign a contract with Shanpin?”]

[No wonder she’s been posting videos and streams that have no standards at all. Shanpin didn’t even ban her. How disgusting!]

[You still have the nerve to start a live stream? Trash, get lost!]

Jiang Xun looked at these videos and was puzzled. Since when did Shanpin start promoting her?

Jiajia was still a moderator in Jiang Xun’s livechat, so she couldn’t leave for now. Therefore, Daxin left the livechat to see what was going on, then she nodded to Jiang Xun behind her phone.

Jiang Xun temporarily suppressed this matter and continued, “Today’s livestream is to preview the content of next Saturday’s livestream. I will be streaming myself running for 100 km,” Jiang Xun said.

Upon hearing her words, the livechat immediately exploded.

[Are you really going to run 100 km?]

[Going after those haters this time?]

[No wonder that hater was so incompetent and angry for a long time last night. Jiangjiang even marked his ID. It seems that she’s trying to prove that she really can exercise that much!]

[That said, one marathon is already 42 km, so you’re going to run two and a half marathons. Can you really do it?]

[Host, are you sure you’re going to run? Not walk?]

[Yeah, walking 100 km isn’t impossible for some of the current hiking streamers.]

“Yes, I’m going to run. I won’t stop even once,” Jiang Xun said calmly.

[Wow, you’re really daring! You’re not planning to run all the way to Sanshui City, are you?]

[Well you said it. We’ll follow you when the time comes.]

Jiang Xun nodded and said carelessly, “Whatever.”

[Then do you dare to post the route map?]” A netizen asked.[We’ll wait for you on the road to see if you’re really running.]

Jiang Xun nodded again. “After the livestream, I’ll post the route map on Shanpin and Weibo. Everyone can download it as you wish.”
