Although it wasn't early anymore, faced with such a generous boss, working overtime was not a big deal at all.
Huang Rushi picked up his phone and sent an apologetic look to his roommate, saying, "The boss is calling me; I'll be right back."
"Sure, work is important."
He opened his phone and saw several messages from someone labelled as "Boss Yang."
There were a few pictures and a location pin.
"After a professional assessment by the company's team, we believe the most suitable time for your live broadcast is from 10 PM to 2 AM, and I've sent you the location. Can you accept this?"
With an 8000 monthly salary and a 4-hour work shift, what couldn't he accept? It was just a bit late, and the location was a bit unusual. Adjusting to the time difference, using a bit of coffee, and it was nothing too troublesome.
Compared to his roommates struggling to make ends meet, and his own experiences of multiple rejections, Huang Rushi treasured this job that had come his way. As long as the boss didn't implement any inhuman operations, he wouldn't easily resign.
Moreover, the company offered excellent benefits. Yang Ruoqian, the boss, wouldn't be that kind of person.
As for the company's arrangements, Huang Rushi had no objections.
To turn a nobody like "Yu Nai" into an internet sensation with more than 100,100, nearly 200,000 fans in just a few days showed how professional and meticulous Xplendi Group's operation team was. In a time when the livestreaming industry was so competitive and the environment was deteriorating, it was impressive to achieve such rapid success. The company's professional team had to be filled with industry experts who could accurately understand the market trends and audience demands, always staying at the forefront of the trend.
With their professional insights, how could he, a newcomer, compare to them?
Huang Rushi immediately replied, "Boss, I have no issues on my end!"
After sending this message, Yang Ruoqian didn't respond for several minutes. He was probably busy with some big projects worth millions or even hundreds of millions, not having time to deal with a new employee like him.
Although he had received the job offer with a contract stating an "non-response" 8000 base salary, Huang Rushi knew that " non-response" wasn't genuinely without consequences. If his livestream numbers didn't improve, he would surely be let go.
What's the big deal for a big company to lose a few thousand dollars? Wait, it was Xplendi Group, so it was probably 2n+1, showing how well-off they were.
Roommate: "How did it go? Did your boss give you any scary tasks?"
Huang Rushi: "It's not that exaggerated. The only thing is that I have to work late at night."
Roommate: "Is that all? Are there no other requirements? What does this company really want? Offering you an 8000 base salary with your looks, you can't even attract steel wool!"
Huang Rushi, a bit angry: "I can tell you've got a problem with me."
Roommate: "You know what, I'm a bit tempted too. Can you help me network and maybe get me into this company? I don't ask for much, just 1000 as a base salary, and I'm willing to accept a 20% commission rate."
"The company's address is right there; you can apply yourself," Huang Rushi knew his roommate was joking, but he still said it seriously, "I'm just a low-level employee at the company; I can't help you network."
Going to the company for a day, you could easily see two beautiful women. Huang Rushi was well aware of his position within the company.
"Let it go. I'm very clear about my own capabilities; I can't possibly create 8000 worth of value in a month. Work hard, and if you become successful, remember to help your friends."
After this, the roommate climbed back to his upper bunk and continued watching the livestream.
Since he had to work the night shift, Huang Rushi didn't rush to sleep. He stayed awake until dawn, and as his roommates left one by one, fatigue overcame his willpower, and he finally fell into a deep sleep.
He woke up with a jolt when the alarm rang, his heart racing.
He had slept for over ten hours, completely missing the day!
"It's been so long; it's almost the time…"
Huang Rushi folded his blanket, washed his face quickly, put on a shirt and shorts, and hurried to the parking lot, where his beloved little van was parked.
Vroom, vroom...
He revved the engine a couple of times. This well-worn van produced a loud noise, but it managed to start.
Huang Rushi didn't roll down the windows for ventilation as he usually did; he flicked a switch on the side and said to himself, "I'm splurging a bit today; let's use the air conditioning."
When he arrived at the destination, it was 9:30 PM, half an hour before the scheduled start time.
However, he found that Yang Ruoqian had already set up various recording equipment and was casually swatting away mosquitoes on the roadside.
This was bad!
The boss was here in person?
And he came so early?
Huang Rushi quickly parked his car on the side of the road and almost rushed to Yang Ruoqian, "Boss, I'm sorry; I'm late!"
Was this the reason for his success at such a young age? To personally oversee everything and even come to supervise a new employee in the field, even in the heat of summer and surrounded by mosquitoes?
This boss was really something.
"No, you're not late; I arrived early," Yang Ruoqian waved his hand, indicating that he wasn't concerned.
Joking aside, this was a project worth tens of millions. How could he not be concerned?
As long as Huang Rushi, this "project," failed, next month would bring in 50 million. Just thinking about it was exhilarating.
Yang Ruoqian was determined to make up for the loss he had incurred with Gao Naiyun through Huang Rushi!
Time ticked away second by second, and it quickly reached 10 PM, the scheduled start time.
Yang Ruoqian opened the livestream room and pointed the camera at Huang Rushi. The intentionally 720p blurry image was instantly projected into the livestream room.
Yes, that was the image they were aiming for!
"In this scorching summer, wearing such thick clothes is not relatable at all. Just go shirtless!" Yang Ruoqian, suppressing his excitement, calmly instructed, "Remember, be yourself, and don't let shyness affect your performance."
"With one hand supporting your belly and the other under your chin, forming a scissor-like hand gesture. This gesture helps subtly direct the audience's attention to your face and physique!"
"Lean your body as much as possible, spread your thighs wide, and make exaggerated movements!"
"Yes, that confident expression, that's exactly it!"
This livestream was bound to be an explosion of cringe.
Once the initial movements were set, Yang Ruoqian turned contentedly and activated the wireless earphones linked to the music player in the livestream room.
Huang Rushi's ears were filled with a lively and rhythmic song.
