The poor Miss Xue, still dealing with the matter of the aptitude assessment stone, now has to add the cultivation technique pavilion to her plate.
Chairman’s office of Wei Hua Technology Company.
Xue Changkong is Xue Qianwei’s father and also the chairman of Wei Hua Technology.
He had been talking with his daughter for quite some time. For the past two days, he hadn't done anything else but watch Chu Yang's live stream.
As the chairman of a technology company that dealt with chips, Xue Changkong was naturally an unwavering materialist.
It wasn't easy for Xue Qianwei to convince her father.
However, after watching Chu Yang's live stream here for the past couple of days, he was thoroughly frightened.
He felt his worldview collapsing.
Cultivation? Wasn't that something from novels? How could it have entered reality?
If you were to talk about wuxia, President Xue might have accepted it a little better.
But to upgrade this scientific era to an immortal cultivation era, he found it a bit difficult to accept.
“Dad? How is it? Do you believe it now?”
Xue Changkong scratched his thinning hair and said with a conflicted expression, “Could this be some kind of con or perhaps 3D special effects…”
“Oh, Dad! Why don’t you just ask Wang Teng directly and you’ll know!”
“And look…” Xue Qianwei extended her right hand, palm facing up, and began to circulate the "Fire Crow Record."
Instantly, a stream of crimson flame spread from her arm, gathering in her palm, and then a small fire crow emerged from her palm.
Xue Changkong’s eyes widened: “Holy crap! You can do that too? Why didn’t you show me yesterday?”
Xue Qianwei said triumphantly, “I told you, cultivation techniques are real! And I’ve only been practicing for less than a week. For the first few days, I could only act as a lighter, and only today have I reached this level!”
The red fire crow was just a nascent form. It trembled in Xue Qianwei’s palm before dissipating into the air as specks of fire elemental energy.
Xue Changkong swallowed his saliva, then cautiously reached out a finger to tap Xue Qianwei’s palm.
“Are you hiding some 3D projection device?”
Xue Qianwei’s face darkened, and she directly reached out and vigorously ruffled Xue Changkong’s hair: “You stubborn old man! See if there is or isn’t…”
Xue Changkong quickly shook off Xue Qianwei’s hand and tenderly touched his head, “You disobedient daughter, don’t you know your dad has little hair? What if the fire from your palm burns my hair?”
“Heh, what use are these few strands of hair? Wouldn’t a shaved head look much better than this?”
“Nonsense! What do you mean a few strands? This is my defiance against the years!”
“Never mind all this irrelevant talk, just tell me whether you’ll agree or not! I need a good location to place the aptitude assessment stone and the cultivation technique pavilion.”
Xue Changkong lit a cigarette, but Xue Qianwei snatched it away and extinguished it, glaring at him.
“Cough… cough…” Xue Changkong glared back resentfully, then coughed twice and said, “Actually, you only need twenty acres of land, but why must it be placed on a busy street? Such a large stone, it takes up so much space. The land utilization rate is too poor!”
“Didn’t I tell you? The economic benefits this thing brings are terrifying!”
“Little Wei, you’ve misunderstood one thing.”
“What?”
“It’s not because you put it in a prosperous location that it generates value; it’s because it has value that it makes the location prosperous.”
Xue Qianwei said indignantly, “You’re just quibbling!”
“You also need to consider us. Beijing is too crowded. If you want to clear a space to place such a large stone, and it also attracts such a huge flow of people, putting it in the urban area would hinder urban development!”
Xue Qianwei was speechless. She didn’t understand these things anyway.
The reason she said Chu Yang’s aptitude assessment stone and cultivation technique pavilion should be placed in the most prosperous area was her desire for more people to learn about cultivation.
“Then where do you suggest we put it?”
Xue Changkong stood up and said, “Leave this matter to me. You go attend to your business first. If his cultivation techniques can truly bring about any changes to the world, then the people in power will definitely not stand by and do nothing.”
“Ah? What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? Of course, it’s to provide a protective shield for the top streamer you signed. You don’t need to worry about this. Go and cultivate well. How much combat power you can achieve in a short period is also a very important part of the project.”
Although Xue Qianwei didn’t know what her father was up to, since he said he would handle it, she figured she didn’t need to worry about it anymore.
…
Shark Live Headquarters.
As a super moderator, Qiao Tong actually had more power than ordinary super moderators.
This was because the president of Shark Company was his brother-in-law, allowing him to participate in many matters.
However, Qiao Tong himself lacked any real ability, so his brother-in-law couldn’t give him too much authority.
Qiao Tong personally liked the job of a super moderator very much.
His usual work involved watching those beautiful female streamers to see if they were crossing any lines.
Generally, when he encountered anything borderline, after satisfying his own visual pleasure, he would use his authority to block them directly.
If these female streamers were willing to pay a small price afterward, he would also turn a blind eye.
However, he hadn't been doing too well recently, especially with Chu Yang’s explosive popularity on Xiong Miao Live.
Some things were simply impossible to hide.
The fact that he had blocked Chu Yang's live stream had, of course, been exposed.
A mere super moderator actually had the authority to finalize contracts with streamers. Within Shark Live, Qiao Tong felt as if he were being watched by a hundred eyes, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Zhang Daming, the president of Shark Live, angrily slammed Chu Yang's live stream data in Qiao Tong's face: “Take a good look at this! There are fewer than five streamers with this kind of top-tier revenue across the entire network, and you personally sent them to a competitor!”
Qiao Tong’s face turned red. He wanted to quibble, “He’s promoting feudal superstition. Content of this type is already a violation of regulations…”
“Violation of regulations? For a streamer who can generate this kind of revenue, we have a million ways to make him compliant!”
Qiao Tong said aggrievedly, “I talked to him, and he refused to change…”
Zhang Daming sneered, “I won’t listen to your explanations, because I’ve already received quite a few impeachments due to your mistakes. Everyone in the company says I’m abusing my authority. If you can bring Chu Yang back to Shark, you can keep your current position. If not, then pack your bags and get out!”
“Brother-in-law, I…”
“If you keep calling me that, you won’t even have the last chance to redeem yourself!”
