Chapter 242 Livestreaming!
The receptionist glanced at Mu Zhi’s flat breast disdainfully and did not bother responding to her.
All she did was spontaneously caressing her saggy melons.
She made it clear that it was an assertion of dominance over Mu Zhi.
Mu Zhi was having none of it!
It was unfortunate enough that she had to go through all the backlashes on the internet. And then there was this woman, who was clueless about Mu Zhi and chose to humiliate her as well.
“Then, what about Lu Jinye as my backing?”
Mu Zhi chuckled and said casually yet somehow solemnly.
“Hoho, you mean Lu Jinye, the chairman, is into you?”
The woman glared at Mu Zhi contemptuously when the elevator opened with a ding. A decent-looking man decked up in a suit came from upstairs and hastily strode towards Mu Zhi. “Apologies… Apologies, Miss Mu, Mr. Lu has spoken to me over the phone. I was caught up in the middle of a meeting. Sorry for showing up late.”
Mu Zhi turned around to throw an appeased look at the receptionist.
She had never felt so contented before. Upon fixing her appearance, she said, “Don’t worry about it, Director Yiwen, that was a good chance to get to know the company a little bit better.”
An awkward smile surfaced on the receptionist’s face.
While Mu Zhi had slowly moved towards the elevator, following behind Director Yiwen into his office. After they were seated, Director Yiwen sized up Mu Zhi and then said, “Miss Mu, are you sure about becoming a celebrity?”
“Do you think I’m not cut out for it?”
Mu Zhi did not know what the intention of the question was. She asked, thinking that the director figured that she was not suitable to become one.
But to her surprise, Director Yiwen promptly explained, “No, not at all… It’s hard to find someone of your caliber. But has Mr. Lu agreed to it?”
“Yeah.”
Mu Zhi responded solemnly.
MD Media Group was a fast-growing company in the entertainment industry but their profit was merely a drop in the ocean when compared to the other companies under Lu Jinye’s arsenal!
Director Yiwen was astonished and glad at the same time to hear that Mu Zhi was arranged to join his company. He was at a loss of how he should treat Mu Zhi appropriately.
Thus, he resorted to asking her respectfully.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhi behaved benevolently, “Lu Jinye has given the green light. Director Yiwen, I hope you could treat me like how you would treat any other celebrity under your name. To be honest with you, I choose to go down this route because there are too many criticisms about me on the internet.”
Director Yiwen did not interrupt Mu Zhi. He stared at her and listened attentively.
“So, I hope that I could stand up for myself in public and show the world that the real Mu Zhi is not as sinister as they describe her to be.”
Director Yiwen nodded and said, “Got it. In that case, let me arrange to have you join a reality show. Also, I’ll get you to do to a livestream tonight.”
Mu Zhi was relatively ignorant about how the industry worked, but she trusted the decisions coming from a seasoned professional.
She nodded without hesitation and thanked Director Yiwen, “Appreciate it.”
Following that, she rose to her feet, then headed up for some preparation work…
Lu Jinye was the real reason Mu Zhi did all these. But she chose to keep these thoughts to herself.
She did not wish for Lu Jinye to be attacked insensibly just because they were going to get married, subsequently causing his business’ revenues to bleed.
Mu Zhi was Lu Jinye’s secretary. She spent almost every second of her working hours with Lu Jinye. Thus, she was bound to be under Lu Jinye’s protection.
She was clear of Lu Jinye’s capabilities.
But as someone who loved Lu Jinye, Mu Zhi hoped to share his load.
She did not say these to Director Yiwen, neither did she break it to Lu Jinye.
Despite relying on Lu Jinye to make her debut, there were more challenges to follow where she could prove herself.
She hoped to prove to the public that the real Mu Zhi was nothing like the Mu Zhi they heard!
Mu Zhi went to the lounge to wait for the director as he was meeting his team.
Due to Mu Zhi’s stature and potential, Yiwen especially called his best-performing team for a meeting that lasted over two hours. They managed to customize a career path, image, appearance, and multiple trivial arrangements, especially for Mu Zhi.
The team burst out of the room and ushered Mu Zhi in, to begin with her preparation.
The makeup artist asked Mu Zhi courteously in the makeup room, “Miss Mu, shall I do a luxurious look for you today? You have beautiful features, so I’m only going to add some dimension to them using contouring. That will bring up a glamorous and blissful appearance.”
“Don’t.”
Mu Zhi expressed her rejection as soon as the artist had finished talking.
“I want to show my most real side to the public, so minimize any form of a delusion of character onto me. Just put on a light makeup for me, as long as I don’t look too unnatural during the livestream.”
Mu Zhi’s directions were entirely out of the image they customized for her.
The company had initial plans of building Mu Zhi around a cold and glamorous figure.
But unexpectedly, Mu Zhi rejected the idea without thinking much.
The makeup artist complied with Mu Zhi’s request, not knowing if she was making the right decision.
The MD Media Group executives planned to have Mu Zhi livestream about choosing the right types of diamonds to go with different types of bags.
But they were surprised when Mu Zhi overrode their plans seconds before the livestream was scheduled to take place.
Meanwhile, Mu Zhi barged into the livestream room unwaveringly.
Seeing that, the executives were struck by anxiousness. They hurriedly called the person-in-charge of media in the mother company and informed them of the situation.
“Umm… Did you show the proposal we discussed this afternoon to Mr. Lu?”
“Nope,” was everything they got in response.
“Mr. Lu has been busy attending different meetings.” They continued.
“Madam asks for a last-minute change. She refuses to follow the plan we did for her and she is heading into the livestream room alone now. I think we keep this from the chairman, so he doesn’t lash at us in case the livestream goes to shit!”
Yiwen was sweating bullets at this point.
There was not much difference between livestreaming and acting in a movie. However, Mu Zhi caught everyone’s surprise by being shockingly frank during her livestreaming session.
The more frank she was, the more terrified Yiwen was.
He was preparing to hand this ordeal over to the Public Relations Department for damage control.
The person-in-charge in the mother company finally realized the seriousness of the issue. Without slighting the problem, he said, “I guarantee you that I won’t let Mr. Lu know about this.”
Moreover, he burst out of his office and bellowed across the room, “Nobody lets the chairman know that Miss Mu is doing her livestream debut tonight!”
He blurted out nervously and somberly.
Everyone in the room nodded in a daze.
Some of them thought that they were doomed.
After getting used to the controls of the livestream settings, Mu Zhi started streaming officially.
There were less than five of them in the room. All of which were staff of the company.
Every one of the poor souls was shuddering and praying to the gods that their termination would be quick and painless.
Waving at the camera, Mu Zhi said, “Hi everyone, this is Mu Zhi. I believe everyone has heard of my name, at least peripherally from the scandals revolving around Lu Jinye, Lu Junnian, and Xiao Qingqing. You are right. I am the shameless woman everyone despises.”
Mu Zhi smiled helplessly at this point.
