It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Chapter 110 My Battle (Vote Requested!)

As night falls, the lights are on.

This nationally renowned first-tier city is also famous for its vibrant nightlife.

The bustling traffic seemed to last until the early hours of the morning, with countless young men and women lingering at the intersection. Of course, there were also countless busy office workers, working overtime to earn a living and support their families, exhausting their bodies in exchange for a few meager wages.

The equipment had been set up and tested. Xiao Zhou, whom Xu Wenxi had brought, took on the role of assistant, helping Xu Wenxi and Gu Huai set up the lights and adjust the camera positions for the live broadcast.

Cai Yan was not idle either, standing guard at the office door.

Even Lao Lin went off work to spend time with his wife and children, while she, a team leader, ended up being the one at the back.

Of course, she had her reasons; Minister Qian had specifically requested her to participate, so she had a responsibility and couldn't neglect her duties. But Gu Huai knew that she didn't really need to; she was still somewhat worried about him.

"Let me warm up the atmosphere first. You wait a moment. After I've warmed up the atmosphere and most people have arrived, you can come out when the products are served."

Xu Wenxi arranged the pace of the live stream, and Gu Huai naturally followed her instructions, since he only understood the products and not these internet celebrities.

I waited patiently on the sidelines, watching Xu Wenxi slowly begin her broadcast.

"Hey everyone, I'm going live! Anyone here?"

Gu Huai couldn't help but want to laugh.

What a terrible opening line, talking on the phone over here?
But why does it sound so unreliable?

Gu Huai was a little worried about the effect, so he deliberately turned off the sound and opened Xu Wenxi's live stream. However, he found that he had worried too much. The live stream started to fill up very quickly. In less than ten minutes, nearly a thousand people had flooded into the live stream.

Regardless of what Xu Wenxi said, the fans inside were very enthusiastic in their support.

"Wife! My wife is live!"

"The baby looks so beautiful today! How can she be so pretty?"

"My wife is so punctual! She said eight o'clock, and it was eight o'clock right away. But why does this background look a little unfamiliar today?"

"Xi Bao is going to do a live-streaming sales event today! Please give her a like and support her!"

Countless people call her "wife," and the terms of endearment like "baby" and "Xi Bao" are incredibly cloying. Some people even help Xu Wenxi promote products in advance.

More and more people.

Xu Wenxi's previously somewhat lazy demeanor has also visibly improved.

"Thank you everyone for the gifts~ There were so many people today."

"Yes, this isn't my home; it's inside a well-known domestic beauty and skincare brand company."

"Oh dear, I'm not exactly a spokesperson yet. I just asked you to help promote some products, so please give me some face and support me, otherwise people will laugh at me for having all zombie followers."

"However, please do what you can and don't push yourself. If you find it helpful and useful, you can give it a try. I use it myself. Okay, it starts in five minutes, I'm so nervous~~"

As Gu Huai listened to Xu Wenxi speaking in his ear while watching the live stream, he knew that it was almost time for him to appear.

The products I'm preparing for tonight are also on a small cart next to me; they've all been prepared in advance.

For now, Xiaozhou will help manage the backend, such as listing shared bikes and removing viewers who make negative comments.

Gu Huai originally thought he had made excellent adjustments and all the necessary preparations. Moreover, with the experience of putting out a fire last time, he believed that with such thorough preparations this time, there shouldn't be any problems.

But looking at Xu Wenxi's calm and collected demeanor on the live stream on her phone, and feeling the force of her voice in person, I couldn't help but appreciate her presence.

For some reason, Gu Huai's breathing began to quicken.

Indeed, not everyone can succeed in live streaming; you either need to be good-looking or have a knack for it. Xu Wenxi is no mere pretty face; she has mastered the basics of live streaming and is quite adept at posing for the camera. From any angle, she is breathtakingly beautiful.

What will I be like when I appear beside her? It seems a little unimaginable.

The most direct difference compared to the last live-streaming sales host is the number of viewers in the live stream.

The number of spectators is increasing, having already exceeded 7,000 and is about to reach 10,000.

Facing the gaze of so many people, he felt an immense pressure, even though he couldn't see their eyes, only the cold numbers. But everything seemed to tell Gu Huai that this time the scale was even larger than the last.

Last time it seemed like just a drill, but this time it's for real. And last time I didn't have to take any responsibility, but this time I have to shoulder all the consequences.

Hiss. My forehead is starting to feel slightly warm.

Cai Yan did my makeup again this time, but it was much lighter than last time, since my skin has improved.

Thinking about this, Gu Huai inexplicably felt that he was carrying a lot of expectations. Cai Yan, Lao Lin, Sister Guo, and Minister Qian, a member of the second group who had been helping him these days, would all be watching the results, not to mention his enemy Zhong Xinyang.

Will Lin Jiang know? She probably doesn't know it's Xu Wenxi doing a live stream, so she probably won't pay attention, which is fine.
She hadn't told Xu Cheng that he was probably either with his boss or drinking and indulging in debauchery.

Could there be people who know you watching? Like former classmates, acquaintances from your hometown, or even your parents?
What would they say?

Do you feel like you've become different? Do you seem more successful in their photos? Or do you still hear your father's familiar words: "Isn't being down-to-earth good enough? Why do you have to find crooked ways?"
do not know.

He gripped the brand-new, unopened face wash in his hand, then saw Xu Wenxi look up at him, gesturing with her eyes as she spoke into her phone.

"Let's begin! First, please welcome Mr. Gu, the product manager here who will be assisting me with this live-streaming sales event."

Gu Huai's mind went blank for a moment. Almost instinctively, he nodded to Xu Wenxi and then walked towards her.

Standing at the office door, Cai Yan saw Gu Huai's back and could almost sense his unease.

She also knew what this meant for Gu Huai.

It's definitely not an easy task, like going to the market to buy vegetables.

This is definitely not an opportunity that can be obtained repeatedly or easily dealt with.

But now she knew clearly that she could no longer do anything for him or help him in any way. From the moment he took that step, everything depended on him.

Whether he will have another opportunity in the future, and whether his future prospects in this company will change as a result, for better or for worse, is all up to him to decide.

Now it really is up to him that only he can help himself.

"Hey, Xiao Zhong, drinking? Why are you looking at your phone?"

Drinking with colleagues is a common tactic Zhong Xinyang uses to build relationships, and it seems like no one would dislike it, except for a certain man who is also disliked by others.

He smiled and looked up. "No, just watching an interesting live stream, it goes perfectly with some wine."

"Oh? What live stream is so interesting? You're watching it so intently, is it really necessary?"

"Of course! What could be more interesting than watching your enemy look disheveled and utterly dejected? Cheers!"

On the other side, in a room with the lights on.

"Ah, finally found it."

The young woman who had just put on a face mask blinked at the screen, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Why do I look so dull? But it's okay, I'm still photogenic."

But her smile quickly faded.

"What's wrong with this woman? Is it necessary to be so close during a live stream? Couldn't she move the camera further away?"

"Why did you touch his arm? You did it on purpose, didn't you!"

"But this woman's hair color is really pretty. Should I get my hair red too? It makes my skin look so fair!"

"Wait a minute? You even put on makeup? You definitely don't know how to do makeup, so who did it for you, huh?"

"Thankfully, there's no cakey residue."

Muttering to himself, muttering to himself.

The dimples gradually faded, turning into a faint smile on her face.

She lowered her head and rested her chin on her hand.

"Keep going! Remember what you told me: you're not working hard to meet other people's expectations."
