I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

After listening to Du Ziteng’s analysis, Chen Cong suddenly understood.

“So that’s the situation. What should we do then? We can’t just keep hiring people to set up custom rooms for this game every day.”

Although he didn’t mind spending money to find players, constantly playing in custom rooms felt like it lacked a bit of fun.

“I might have a solution,” Du Ziteng said with a slight smile, catching Chen Cong’s attention. “We can use Tiger Head Live to promote it. We all know how fun this game is. If we have our club members play it live on Tiger Head Live, and I get it featured on the homepage, what do you think?”

“That’s a great idea!” Chen Cong exclaimed with delight. He was well aware of Tiger Head Live’s influence, and more importantly, it was owned by Du Ziteng’s family.

Getting a few homepage features would certainly be no problem.

Moreover, with their club members playing Extreme Survival on Tiger Head Live, the fresh gameplay would undoubtedly attract a large number of players, encouraging them to download and play the game.

This would not only promote Extreme Survival but also help the club members increase their popularity through live streaming.

In the world of live streaming, popularity and traffic translate directly to money!

This approach is a complete win-win!

“I’ll contact the person in charge at Tiger Head Live. You select a few people from the club for live streaming and find players in the game group to open custom rooms during the stream,” Du Ziteng said quickly, then got up and walked outside.

He was doing this not only to promote Extreme Survival and help the club members build their popularity but also for another purpose.

That was to host competitions. He had the exclusive rights to organize events outside of Cangxue Games.

Once Extreme Survival’s reputation was established through live streaming, he could host a competitive event.

The exclusive rights to host events could bring Sky Pavilion Game Club into the public eye.

Only when the club became famous could they leverage it for profit.

The emergence of Extreme Survival gave him hope.

The next day, Chen Mo arrived at the Clothing Factory office, glanced at the office setup, and felt a sense of nostalgia.

Once the office building renovations were complete, he would move directly to the group headquarters’ office.

This time, he had personally planned the group headquarters’ office and had Wang Yang design it.

With panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and a complete set of office furniture for the boss, it was all set.

More importantly, he had designed a lounge there. Apart from lacking a kitchen, it had everything else, so he could even live in the office without any issues.

Once he settled his personal assets of 15 million, he would finally have the appearance of a proper boss.

Chen Mo smiled slightly.

Knock, knock, knock!

The office door was knocked, and soon Li Shen walked in.

“President Chen, I’ve found the place. It’s about 50 meters from the group office building.”

“But I couldn’t find a large area like you wanted. These are two adjacent storefronts. I found out they can be connected, and once they are, they’ll meet your requirements.”

He handed the property details to President Chen.

Chen Mo took the documents and glanced at them.

One of the stores used to be a supermarket, and the other was a noodle shop. Both had two floors, totaling about 600 square meters, which would be more than enough for an employee cafeteria.

“Alright, these two stores will do. Go find Wang Maonian, take him to see how to renovate the place, and contact Wang Yang to handle the interior work.”

Having confirmed there were no issues with the stores, Chen Mo returned the documents to Li Shen.

The rent for these stores wouldn’t cost much, but the renovation would be a major expense.

“Understood, President Chen.”

Li Shen nodded and headed outside the office building. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He got into the business car parked at the entrance, which was a company car from the Clothing Factory. Since he was busy with short videos and office building matters, President Chen had assigned him a car for use.

“How did it go, Brother Shen?”

Wu Yu, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, asked as Li Shen got in.

“President Chen had no objections. We need to go to the cafeteria and bring Brother Wang along.”

Li Shen said as he started the vehicle and headed to the employee cafeteria to find Wang Maonian. After explaining the purpose, Wang Maonian left the cafeteria with Li Shen. Wu Yu, seeing Wang Maonian coming out, got out of the car to make room in the back seat for him.

Regardless of age or tenure at the Clothing Factory, Wang Maonian was his senior, so he naturally showed respect.

Starting the vehicle, Li Shen drove directly to the selected restaurant.

“How’s the boring short video project going?”

In the car, Wang Maonian asked curiously.

Since Li Shen and Wu Yu were reassigned, he had been quite bored, leading the runs all by himself.

When Li Shen was the head of the Procurement Department, he often visited the cafeteria.

Now that he was reassigned, he missed those visits.

“The staff for the boring short video project has been recruited, but since the office building still needs some renovation, everyone’s working from home for now.”

Li Shen replied, then remembered something.

“Oh, and Brother Wang, once the Boring Short Video app is ready, I’d like you to be a host.”

“I’m just a chef, what would I host?”

Wang Maonian quickly shook his head.

“Brother Wang, it’s precisely because you’re a chef and a skilled one at that, that we want you to host.”

Wu Yu chimed in from the back seat.

“Exactly,” Li Shen nodded.

Wang Maonian was even more puzzled. What did being a chef have to do with hosting?

He had watched live streams before. The popular ones were usually beautiful singers and dancers, or game streamers, and sometimes those who did talk shows or stunts.

He had seen chef streamers, but they weren’t very popular!

What were Li Shen and Wu Yu thinking, not hiring some handsome guys or pretty girls to boost popularity, but asking him, a chef, to do it?

Moreover, With his current physique and appearance, there wasn’t much appeal.

Well, His physique had improved quite a bit from leading the runs for a long time.

Seeing Wang Maonian’s puzzled expression, Li Shen gave a wry smile.

Then he explained President Chen’s requirements for recruiting hosts for the Boring Short Video project.

“So, Brother Wang, you completely meet the requirements for the Boring Short Video project. And I’ve thought it through; you could do a teaching live stream, showing the audience how to cook.”

“Attract viewers with your skills and expertise.”

Listening to Li Shen, Wang Maonian suddenly understood.

“If that’s the case, I’d be willing to contribute to the Boring Short Video project.”

Boring Short Videos is President Chen’s company. Since it’s President Chen’s company, if there’s a chance to contribute, of course, we should do our part.
