Since we are both reborn, of course I would choose the rich woman!

Chapter 144: Lu Yao's Disfigurement (6k Subscription Request)

Honey grapefruit tea is delicious and can clear the lungs.

Hu Xiaoyu's sudden change stunned the netizens in the live broadcast room. Didn't he say yesterday that he didn't like Lu Yao? Why did Jinwei start making honey grapefruit tea for him?
Doing this kind of thing, are we netizens also part of your play?

What kind of dog food do you have to feed to us netizens yourself?
Netizens in the live broadcast room began to complain with barrage comments: "Lu thief, please stop, Director Hu, please stop causing trouble for such a clean person."

"Brother Lu! There were too many people yesterday, but today I kneel down for you. I really want to learn this!"

"Le~Shouldn't there be more people today?"

Lv Yao looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and said happily: "Just learn, your brother Lu is full of knowledge points."

The people in the live broadcast room started to tease Lv Yao with bullet comments: "Are the knowledge points you mentioned the kind that can spread knowledge by connecting them?"

"Hmm? That's not right. Can knowledge be transmitted through close contact?"

"Why not? I've seen many students in college get admitted after having intimate contact."

"As expected, college life is still the best."

Inexplicably, one high-speed car after another started driving in Lu Yao's live broadcast room. If you don't have some experience, you might not be able to understand a lot of the nonsense. Lu Yao did not participate in their topic, but instead looked at Hu Xiaoyu who turned back.

Although Hu Xiaoyu looks cold, reserved and distant, girls like her are the same as the cool and aloof queens in Hi Si.

The difference is that the cool and arrogant Hisi is actually a weapon master. As long as you can get to the stage of drinking and talking with the cool and arrogant Hisi, then you are not far from entering the Hisi's bedroom.

But girls like Hu Xiaoyu are different. They pay more attention to emotional value, and some details can impress them most.

So today, Lu Yao has been using emotional cues and details to actively stimulate Hu Xiaoyu and make her react.

For example, he called her "Sister Hu" and used "three pastes" to "inadvertently" express his preparation and hard work.

as predicted.

Hu Xiaoyu's attitude towards him changed.

A well-protected girl like her will be captured by the details performed by the scumbag. Many scumbags like to use details to impress girls, because details are the most cost-effective means to impress girls, and most of the details don't even cost any money.

Similarly, if a girl likes to impress you with details... then men should be careful.

Lv Yao picked up the live broadcast equipment and returned to the side room next to Hu Xiaoyu's studio. He saw Hu Xiaoyu making tea. When she saw Lv Yao coming in, she smiled and said, "It's good for your health to drink some tea after breakfast."

When Hu Xiaoyu smiles, she is like the West Lake in early spring, with rippling waves, indescribably beautiful and gentle.

Lu Yao sat down at the table: "You look better when you smile."

Hu Xiaoyu glanced at his phone and frowned, "Always talking nonsense, just drink your tea!"

After the audience in the live broadcast room heard Hu Xiaoyu's words, many male fans who had already become Hu Xiaoyu's fans were frantically expressing in Lu Yao's live broadcast room: "Oh no! Why are you still using modal particles when you speak now?"

"I'm really scared of being single. I don't even dare to fast forward a single frame."

"Brothers, take a screenshot of what Lu Ze just said outside and show it to Director Hu. I won't be able to sleep peacefully until this bastard is dead."

Lu Yao didn't care about the netizens' gnashing of teeth in the live broadcast room, nor did he care if they recorded the screen. His main purpose of doing this live broadcast was to promote intangible cultural heritage skills and to attract traffic to Hu Xiaoyu.

Once Hu Xiaoyu's fan base grows, Lu Yao will be able to start creating videos featuring Hu Xiaoyu.

With Lu Yao's marketing ability and understanding of the future tone of the Internet, coupled with Hu Xiaoyu's appearance and background, as well as the financial support from Rong Nianqing, Hu Xiaoyu will definitely become popular.

Lu Yao’s goal is to make Hu Xiaoyu the “selected electronic pickles” for the majority of netizens.

After drinking tea with Hu Xiaoyu, Lu Yao took the live broadcast equipment and said, "Director Hu, there are many other intangible cultural heritage skills in our National Museum of Painting. What can you introduce to us today?"

This was all scripted in advance.

Hu Xiaoyu immediately said: "Today I want to introduce you to 'lacquerware'. Lacquerware is made by applying lacquer made from the sap secreted by lacquer trees on the surface of the body."

"This kind of artifact is not like paint. It is purely natural. The lacquer water collected from the lacquer tree is drinkable."

Lu Yao smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Hu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "You can drink it, but it's best not to do so. Most people are allergic to raw lacquer. Long-term contact with raw lacquer will cause severe allergic reactions. Once allergic, swelling and unbearable itching will occur. In severe cases, papules or even blisters will appear. This process is very uncomfortable."

Lu Yao was surprised and asked, "Is it so dangerous?"

Hu Xiaoyu said helplessly: "Yes, but this is also a necessary step to inherit the lacquer craft."

Lu Yao looked at Hu Xiaoyu and said, "How uncomfortable you must have felt when you had the allergy."

Hu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I'm not allergic to raw lacquer."

Lu Yao was surprised and said, "It turns out that Director Hu is a congenital saint of lacquer craftsmanship. It's amazing."

Although she didn't know where all these strange words came from Lu Yao's mouth, she was very pleased with Lu Yao's praise of her, so the smile on Hu Xiaoyu's face became more and more vivid.

Then Hu Xiaoyu took Lu Yao to another courtyard of the Chinese Painting Museum to see the lacquerware production process.

In fact, lacquerware is simple to make. The first step is to polish the body of the lacquerware to a very smooth degree, and then paint the body inside and out with raw lacquer. After the body is completely absorbed, it should be placed in a room with constant temperature and humidity to dry for a week.

Next, mix extremely fine tile ash and raw lacquer to make paint ash. Scrape a layer of paint ash inside and outside and dry it in the shade. Then polish it and apply primer, and repeat this process.

Finally, use fine yarns of different mesh sizes for polishing.

This final step of polishing requires not only great patience, but also profound experience, because if you are not careful you will over-polish and ruin the entire lacquerware.

The finished product after polishing will have a feeling of being as warm as jade and as translucent as a gem.

If other techniques such as gilding, mother-of-pearl and lacquer carving are added, a myriad of different lacquerwares can be produced.

After explaining the craftsmanship of lacquerware, Hu Xiaoyu said: "Lacquerware has a long history. Different places have their own different techniques and characteristics, such as Pingyao lacquerware and Poyang lacquerware. However, the inheritance of lacquerware has become increasingly difficult in recent years."

Because the production of lacquerware is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires great pain, it takes an average person at least one or two years to learn it before they can get started.

Hu Xiaoyu sighed, "The fact that people are allergic to raw lacquer alone is unacceptable to many people."

Hu Xiaoyu took out a picture album of raw lacquer allergies and showed it to Lv Yao. Lv Yao also showed the miserable conditions of raw lacquer allergies in the picture album to the netizens in the live broadcast room. After seeing it, the netizens in the live broadcast room gasped:

"Is there any need to pass this thing on?"

"I heard that lacquerware was also commonly used by the rich and powerful in ancient times, and even in the palace. Damn, the ancient officials really sucked blood from people."

“It’s worthy of the name.”

Seeing some negative comments in the comment section, Lu Yao smiled and said, "These things used to be tributes, but now they can be bought if you have money. It is precisely because our ancestors shed so much blood and sacrificed so much that we should pass these things on."

"Because these things belong to you and me."

Lu Yao put down the book and said, "Test it for me to see if I am allergic to raw lacquer."

Hu Xiaoyu was immediately surprised and said, "Don't be silly. You don't plan to learn this. If you have an allergic reaction, it will be very uncomfortable. In serious cases, you may even need to be hospitalized."

Lu Yao said firmly: "It's okay, it's just an allergy, it's not fatal."

He turned the camera to the side, his lips moving silently as he said, "This is necessary to promote intangible cultural heritage."

If Lu Yao's allergic reaction is serious, it can actually be used to get publicity.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoyu was a little in awe of Lu Yao. He had no intention of learning lacquerware skills, and he was not even that keen on intangible cultural heritage, but he could put aside his personal gains and losses for what he was going to do next.

Under Lu Yao's insistent gaze, Hu Xiaoyu solemnly picked up the raw lacquer in the studio and smeared a small area on Lu Yao's arm.

Seeing Hu Xiaoyu so serious, Lu Yao smiled and said, "Why are you so nervous? What if I am not allergic to raw lacquer like you, or my allergic reaction is relatively minor?"

Hu Xiaoyu smiled and said, that would of course be the best.

But people like her who are not allergic to raw lacquer are a minority after all, perhaps only one in ten people.

Hu Xiaoyu smeared the lacquer on Lu Yao's arm, and then wiped it off after it dried for a while. Finally, Lu Yao pointed the live camera at his wrist, looked at the slightly red mark on it, and said happily: "It doesn't feel anything special."

The abstract brother in the live broadcast room said with a smile:

"Lu thief, you have deserved your death!"

"You're setting a flag for yourself like this, I think you're going to be in trouble!"

Lu Yao looked at the comments and laughed, "I don't believe it. I've always been very good at coughing."

This sudden cough made Hu Xiaoyu immediately nervous: "It's bad! Raw lacquer evaporates in the air, and inhaling it through the respiratory tract can also cause allergic reactions in people. Don't stay here!"

Lu Yao didn't feel anything special except that his throat was a little itchy. He smiled and said, "It's not that exaggerated, right?"

Hu Xiaoyu was anxious: "Listen to the advice!"

Lu Yao's allergic reaction came earlier and was more severe than he expected. Less than an hour after leaving the lacquerware studio, the reaction originally applied on his wrist had begun to spread over a large area, and his throat began to become more itchy.

Lv Yao, who was still live streaming, smiled bitterly at the netizens in the live streaming room: "Oh no, I really set a flag for myself. My allergic reaction is quite rapid."

But Lu Yao still insisted on live streaming.

By 6 or 7 in the evening, Lu Yao's body was red and swollen. Blisters had appeared where the lacquer was first applied. The blisters were still small and could only be seen by touching them with your hands or by focusing a camera. Lu Yao's throat was so red and swollen that his voice was hoarse.

At this point, Hu Xiaoyu, who had been following Lu Yao, became anxious: "Stop live streaming and go to the hospital quickly."

Lu Yao's voice was as hoarse as Donald Duck's: "Ah? Can't I get through this by myself?"

Hu Xiaoyu was so anxious that his eyes sparkled. "Your allergic reaction is much more serious than I thought. Severe cases usually take two days to reach your level. It's been less than a day for you! Stop the live broadcast!"

As she spoke, she tried to grab Lu Yao's live broadcast equipment. Lu Yao laughed in a hoarse voice, "Okay, okay, I'll go to the hospital right away."

With his face a little swollen, Lu Yao showed off to the live broadcast room and said: "Interesting, I have never seen myself so fat in my life, but buddy is still handsome when fat!"

Lu Yao's current appearance and funny hoarse voice made netizens in the live broadcast room laugh and cry.

"No, buddy, you're working too hard, aren't you? What do you want to do to make yourself look like this?"

"Didn't you see how anxious Director Hu is? This time Lu is risking his life for love! Damn, Lu has this kind of perseverance, so what can't he succeed in?"

"Fuck! I just realized it now! Lu Ze, you are so cruel! You deserve to drive a luxury car [crying][crying]"

At the same time, there was also a retard who was giving gifts crazily and said, "Brother, listen to my advice. Just keep live streaming. I guarantee that when your allergy goes away, your fan account on this live streaming platform will also increase dramatically."

Lu Yao thought this was a very good suggestion, so he scratched his throat and said, "I'll go to the hospital, but I'll start the live broadcast so that my brothers can also see the price they have to pay to pass on this skill."

Hu Xiaoyi: "..."

She was really angry, speechless, and a little impressed that even at this time he was still thinking about promoting intangible cultural heritage skills.

Hu Xiaoyu had no choice but to send a message to Rong Nianqing. After receiving the news, Rong Nianqing searched for Lu Yao's live broadcast. After seeing Lu Yao's miserable condition, she immediately called for help. A professional medical team immediately came here from Xicheng on a special plane and began to treat and care for Lu Yao.

Lu Yao did not go to the hospital, but he also did not stop his live broadcast.

By the next day, Lu Yao's whole face had swollen like a pig's head, and the blisters on his arms had grown to the size of his little finger, filled with light yellow pus.

The changes in appearance are not so bad, but the most terrible thing is the itching in the allergic areas. The itching goes deep into the bone marrow and makes Lu Yao's scalp numb.

But you can't scratch these itches. If you scratch them, they will become infected, eroded, and leave scars, which will be a disaster.

After 48 hours of live broadcast, the number of people in Lu Yao's live broadcast room basically remained at around . Many netizens seemed to particularly like watching Lu Yao's uncomfortable look due to allergies. During this period, Lu Yao also contributed a lot of facial expressions and ugly pictures on the Internet.

Some netizens even said that this might be the period in which Lu Yao would leave the most ugly pictures in his future.

At the same time, Lu Yao's live broadcast account and Weibo account have seen varying degrees of fan growth.

The number of his fans on the YY Live account easily exceeded one million, and even attracted at least hundreds of thousands of new registered users to YY Live. These people all came to see Lu Yao's current miserable state.

He is almost disfigured now.

YY Live even put Lv Yao's live broadcast room directly on the homepage and pushed it around the clock. The title was also very grand - "Millions of Internet Celebrities Risk Their Lives to Promote Intangible Cultural Heritage!"

Lu Yao's Weibo also gained more than 300,000 followers. The composition of the fans this time was more complex. Many practitioners in the art world and even some bigwigs followed Lu Yao.

Another day later, multiple lacquer sores appeared on Lv Yao's body, and Lv Yao himself began to have a high fever. He really couldn't stand it anymore, so he said in the live broadcast room: "Okay brothers, I've tried it. Learning this skill is like going through a tribulation. Anyway... everyone has seen how miserable and ugly I am now, so I will go off the air and focus on the treatment."

After Lu Yao finished the broadcast, he said weakly to Rong Nianqing beside him: "I'll have to trouble you in the next few days. Please help me with the arrangements, press releases, and the rhythm of the marketing accounts and the Internet trolls. I really don't have the energy anymore."

Rong Nianqing sighed, "Don't worry, just take it as a vacation and leave the rest to me."

Hu Xiaoyu also stayed by Lv Yao's bedside: "Let me take care of him these days. He has made so many sacrifices to promote intangible cultural heritage skills."

Thinking of her previous prejudices against Lu Yao, Hu Xiaoyu felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

How could she be so rude!
Lu Yao smiled with great effort: "Hey, Director Hu, don't worry too much, it's just a small problem, everything else is easy to deal with, but this itch is really uncomfortable, the key is that I don't dare to scratch it, I rely on this face to make a living."

Hu Xiaoyi: "?"

Even at this time, this guy still has the mind to make fun of himself.

This hell joke isn't funny at all.

Lu Yao looked at Rong Nianqing again: "By the way, you have some ideas for the luxury goods show in Xinbai Square, right?"

Rong Nianqing said: "Yes, I plan to use the Internet to promote the identification of genuine and fake luxury goods, and use this method to lower the style of that place."

Lu Yao panted and said, "This is a good idea, but it's not strong enough."

Rong Nianqing immediately moved closer and said, "You speak, and I remember."

Lu Yao's eyes, which had been swollen to a slit, shone with a faint cold light: "Spend the money and hold a talent show! Let the masters in the field of luxury replicas and luxury authentication come to compete, and whoever wins will get the prize money!"

Isn’t this much more interesting than any good voice?
Of course, they would face great resistance to doing so, and might even be sued, but with Rong Nianqing's support, these would be minor problems. Even if they were ordered to stop, they would still make money as long as they promoted it.

Lu Yao's method was a little too vicious, which made Hu Xiaoyu, who had never been exposed to such things since childhood, stunned.

Hu Xiaoyu looked at the unrecognizable Lu Yao lying on the bed, and seemed to get to know him all over again.

Rong Nianqing also frowned and said, "Doing this is equivalent to destroying the jobs of many luxury brands. Will the reaction be too strong?"

Lu Yao smiled.

In fact, those people who are engaged in high-end luxury goods are the easiest to control, because they make money from brand power and IQ tax. The collapse of luxury goods has happened more than once or twice.

For example, high heels that are worn out after only a few times of wearing, or accessories made of shells and glass. What if these things explode?
There will always be fools who continue to be fooled.

Most people's memory is not that good.

What Lu Yao wanted was just to become a hot topic for a while. With enough exposure, his goal would be achieved.

Lu Yao said: "If we do a good job of avoiding legal issues, we won't be afraid of lawsuits. After a few years, these brands will just give up on their own."

Rong Nianqing listened and said seriously: "Let's do it this way."

"and many more."

Lu Yao called out to Rong Nianqing who had already stood up: "Before doing this, communicate with those foreign luxury brands. If they are willing to withdraw from the big show at Xinbai Plaza, we can also not take action against them."

This can be considered as using courtesy before force.

If those luxury brands listen to advice and withdraw from the luxury new product shows in Xinbai Plaza, Xinbai Plaza will lose face and its commercial status in Shangnan City will be shaken.

If luxury brands are stubborn, it's not their fault.

Rong Nianqing smiled after hearing this: "Okay."

Then she told Lu Yao to have a good rest and left the room where Lu Yao was recuperating, leaving Hu Xiaoyu standing in a daze beside Lu Yao's bed.

No wonder his family elders have been following the teachings of their ancestors for so many years, never getting deeply involved in the affairs of the political and business circles, and only delving into the field of art. It turns out that this is how the political and business circles work.

Hu Xiaoyu took a deep breath, realizing that she still lacked experience.

Who could have thought that a vicious conspiracy against a luxury brand was finalized right before her eyes and ears...

Lu Yao turned to look at Hu Xiaoyu: "Director Hu, the medical team here is very professional. You don't have to stay here with me. You can discuss with President Rong what you are going to do next."

Rong Nianqing has produced several design drafts for his first luxury product, but the results have always been unsatisfactory, which has caused Rong Nianqing a lot of pressure during this period.

Hu Xiaoyu stared at Lu Yao with gloomy eyes. He called her "Sister Hu" and "Sister Yu" during the live broadcast, and called her "Director Hu" when he stopped live broadcasting?
It is really better to use people forward, not backward.

Hu Xiaoyu stood up angrily: "Okay, then you...don't scratch yourself."

In the end, she couldn't bear to be cruel.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I will definitely hold back."

……

Lu Yao's allergy live broadcast caused quite a stir on the Internet. Thanks to the efforts of YY Live and Lu Yao's fans, the entry #Millions of Internet Celebrities with Allergies# even made it into the top ten of Weibo's hot search list.

It seems that everyone is particularly keen on seeing others suffer.

It is no wonder that so many people at the bottom of society struggle to survive, shedding sweat, blood and tears.

It is human nature to feel happy when seeing the suffering of all living beings.

Lu Yao’s updates on the Internet will naturally be noticed by people around him.

Especially Sister Wang, who had the deepest ties with Lu Yao. During the period when Lu Yao was working in Hangzhou, Sister Wang would check Lu Yao's Weibo and live broadcasts every day to understand his movements. After seeing that Lu Yao had such serious symptoms due to allergy to raw lacquer, she felt the most distressed.

But at this moment, Jian Xiaojie came over to add fuel to the fire.

"Sister Shu, your Xiaoyao has been very close to Miss Hu from Hangzhou recently. Many people are hyping up their CP relationship online."

"Why do I feel that Miss Hu's attitude towards that guy Lu Yao has changed a little? You know what, they are actually quite suitable in every aspect."

"Wow! Lu Yao is allergic and Miss Hu is so anxious running around~"

Sister Wang is so annoyed by reading the messages from Jian Xiaojie every day that she really wants to block that woman!
So annoying!
