Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

"I'm interested! Please, Senior Lin Mu, share this with me!"

Lin Mu: OKk~

What a pity, what a pity, Yuka ultimately lost to the combined attack of these scoundrels.

I had a clear idea of ​​how to work hard, but I failed.

Huh? You're asking why it failed?

Because the operations team is preparing for a whole new project!

Edit the recorded test live stream and release it so their fans can see what their streamers are like without the restrictions of Bilibili's super moderators!

Because it was felt that Yuka's pre-recorded segment would be very entertaining, it was bound to be released.

#Public Execution#

Section 263, Chapter 72, ESC: Their ESC

In fact, ESC was initially more like a scheme orchestrated by a few rich kids who were just starting out.

Everyone comes here to have fun and experience life.

Li Huiyan, after being relieved of her student council duties, suddenly found herself with a lot of free time and felt uncomfortable wanting to find something to do, so she was persuaded by the young lady to come here.

She was a rich second-generation heiress who initially didn't take a salary and even spent her own money to become a VUP (Video Up).

Xu Youyue, who helped the boss build this club, helped the boss shoulder some of the blame from parents who said she was "not doing her job properly" and should just come to the company to help out instead. She used her charm and cuteness to take away a lot of the criticism.

The family also considered that the two girls were not mature enough, had not yet graduated from university, and could not help much in the family company, so they gave them some funds to go out and have fun on their own—at least they could develop their abilities by running their own small company, right?

Although later on, the boss did all the hard and tiring work.

Xu Lin, needless to say, was the only outsider in ESC from the beginning. Although he was also a rich second-generation, he didn't do anything like bringing his own investment to join the team.

However, as the original dark leader of ESC and the de facto behind-the-scenes manager of the later operations department, he provided a lot of guidance through the internet and made great contributions to ESC.

After all, he was groomed by his father to be the company's successor from a young age and taught a lot of skills by his uncle. Despite his lazy appearance, his actual abilities are terrifying.

Actually, the boss never expected that the third person he found to make up the numbers would be like this.

He initially just wanted to find a man with a good reputation, ability, and knowledge of the AV industry to fill out the quota.

So now that I think about it, it's no wonder that when Sister Feng asked him to personally recruit people like the first generation, he said, "I feel like I might not have that kind of luck."

Even if these three aren't the most talented VUPs, who the hell could have recruited them without a stroke of luck?

Even the initial managers were uncles and aunts from the boss's father's company, who were just there to help out, and they are still officially affiliated with ESC.

It means that although this company isn't under the parent company's name, we're protecting it. Please give us some consideration on the field and don't let it get too badly damaged.

Although ESC's current size doesn't really allow it to get involved in those deep-water areas.

This incident had caused quite a stir beforehand.

Bilibili has all kinds of big names; a quick search will reveal several big names from the finance, computer science, and even social engineering fields—which is why companies with fandom backgrounds don't last long in the VUP (Video Up) community.

These people are not like those brainless girls on Weibo.

You can fool young girls with your capital dealings, your secrets, and your carefully crafted persona, but can you fool a seasoned veteran in the financial world who's been navigating the world for years?

Do you think an entertainment company can outmaneuver a team of computer experts from the general public by launching online attacks and spreading negative information?

You can create cross-dressing characters, actors, fan leaders, and alternate accounts, but can you protect yourself from social engineering bosses who can directly check your online residual information?

Can't defend against it? Then just don't play these games! Even if you want to use those fandom brainwashing and manipulation tactics, we have experts in social psychology here!

So, some VUP viewers who know about this topic are curious about the background of ESC, a company that suddenly appeared but seems to have a lot of money, and they did some research.

Then he dug out a string of bigwigs in the management team who were in the real economy.

Completely stunned. Jpg

It's one thing for game companies, entertainment companies, or even information companies to enter the VUP (Video Up) circle; they are all internet companies, so while such a leap might easily lead to trouble, it's not too big.

The problem is, you're a businessman who runs a real business and can live a comfortable life in Yehai City. Is the tiny cake of the AV industry enough for you to even fill a tooth gap?

What's that? What are you doing? What brings you here?

After this expert posted the information and a brief explanation of the meaning of the string of names on the forum, he left a comment.

"Can someone explain to me what's going on?"

Then a group of onlookers were also dumbfounded.

There's been a lot of talk about capital entering the market, but everyone's been talking about capital entering the entertainment industry. Who the hell would have thought that industrial capital could flow into this tiny little circle?

What are you doing here? Are you here to produce figurine stickers and keychains?

Are you here to sell toys again?

In the end, the boss had to step in and explain, much to his dismay, to smooth things over, which became a topic of conversation within the ESC company.

This is why the boss has a certain degree of fame among ESC's audience—he talked about this directly during a live stream.

Fortunately, Xu Youyue wasn't officially registered with the company, and no one expected such a rich young lady to debut as a VTuber; otherwise, her live stream would probably be flooded with people begging for hugs from rich women.

The topic has gone a bit off track.

What I really want to say is that the operations department's scheming and backstabbing style is all the boss's and Xu Lin's fault.

Yes, these are some of the key points that Xu Lin left in the operations department.

For example, something like, "Occasionally backstabbing Live, without affecting the live stream content or the person behind it, can create more entertainment value and help shape the overall image of ESC."

The operations department needs to be cunning, cunning, and cunning again, both internally and externally, on the surface and in reality.

If you get hit, stand up straight; if you admit your mistake, do so promptly.

The operation is for the benefit of the viewers, not for the liver and the company; the focus should be on providing a better viewing experience for the viewers.

Etc., etc.

And all the people in the operations department are personally interviewed by the boss.

So now you understand why even after being kicked out of the office by the operations team, the boss can only squat alone by the door smoking, looking miserable, right?

Now you know why Xu Lin only verbally complained even when he was betrayed by operations and asked to work overtime, right?

Because this style of doing things was taught by themselves, it's a case of the student surpassing the teacher, and ultimately shooting themselves in the foot.

A contemporary classic example of teacher-student kindness and filial piety.

So when Xu Lin, the old lady, told Shuangxue and the other fourth-term students to come to me if they needed anything, it wasn't just empty talk.

If there are operational errors, she truly has the power to impose sanctions.

Therefore, when Xu Lin proposed the plan before the team building activity, he said that the plan would be recognized by everyone, and he would do his best to complete it even if there were many troubles.

They're so free now, and they don't really have much presence. It's just that the first generation members aren't involved anymore. It's not a good thing for Liver to be involved in management. It could easily lead to management chaos and dissatisfaction.

This ultimately led to all sorts of messy situations.

A normal company should ensure that employees fulfill their responsibilities and do their jobs well. Xu Lin's interference in operations and management, Sister Yan's responsibility for training new employees and organizing activities, and Xu Youyue's excessive hair loss and attempts at collaborative projects are all things from the past when ESC was still immature.

Now, no matter how ambitious the boss is or how much they are short-staffed, they won't step up.

Section 264, Chapter 73: The Origin of ESC

Alright, now that we've finished talking about the first season of "Survivor," which took me ages to finish... well, I mean, after writing a chapter about the three of them slacking off, let's turn our attention to the newcomers' test livestream.

To be fair, Yuka's test live stream went quite well, but the biggest surprise was a joke that couldn't be used in a formal live stream, and considering her goal of striving for the Clear Series...emmmm.

I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Perhaps this contrast between clarity at the beginning and gradual confusion is more attractive to the audience?

Huh? You mean why did you book it directly as a Chaos-themed game?

Of course, all of Yuka's efforts will eventually be in vain.

Putting aside the fact that the operations team is sharpening their knives and preparing to betray her, the fact that she joined XP Company is enough to tell you something.

She's not exactly a clear-headed person, and she hangs out with Xu Lin and his group of lewd car enthusiasts every day. Everyone, ask yourselves honestly, how long can you stay in that kind of environment without making suggestive jokes or picking up on others' lines, and fool everyone with your acting skills?

That's why Xu Lin and his boss initially agreed that VUP was a very real industry.

The video format is okay, but the live stream format is...

Imagine that as these days gradually become longer, live streaming becomes a part of your daily life. You wake up every day to read fan-created clips and comments, prepare the live stream cover and content for the day at noon, start the live stream in the evening, and then take a shower and go to bed.

The longer you stay, the more you'll develop an attachment to this little live stream room, and you'll gradually treat the viewers in the room as friends. You'll also get used to sharing things from your daily life with everyone, little by little, showing a more authentic version of yourself to the audience, and gradually sharing more everyday and private things.

Every day, you talk more with your viewers than with everyone else combined, and everything that happens to you becomes a topic of conversation.

They will deliberately jump in your face, deliberately make you angry to see your cuteness, and comfort you when you are down.

They'll get so angry when you're bad at a game that your blood pressure spikes and they'll keep mocking you, but they'll also shower you with praise when you make a great play.

At this moment, can you still suppress the urge in your heart to communicate with everyone?

Ultimately, whether it's a VTuber or a VUP, it's an industry where sincerity is exchanged for sincerity.

What's out in business, what's fake, can't last long.

They say they love Chinese audiences the most, but after making money, they turn around and fawn over their foreign "daddy."

They claim they don't engage in fan culture operations, but once they gain trust, they start mind control manipulation.

They keep saying they'll always respond to your love, but as soon as some fans start to like them, they turn around and treat the audience like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited).

They say that all livers are family, and then they start a battle royale.

Just look at whether they're dead or not, isn't that enough?

Even if he doesn't die, he'll be half-dead.
