Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

Good morning, everyone!

Xu Lin yawned and greeted him.

"Ruoye, you're up so early? I thought you were going to sleep a little longer."

Sister Feng looked at Xu Lin and asked in a somewhat unfamiliar yet familiar tone.

The awkwardness stemmed from Feng Jie's belief that this was her second meeting with Xu Lin, yet the familiarity arose from the fact that she knew they had known each other online for three months, so there was no need to be overly polite.

"I had a small drink last night, went to bed early, and got up right away. They weren't up yet."

"No, you bunch of lazybones. I think I should talk to the boss and set a normal schedule for you. If you keep working like this every day, you'll end up in the hospital sooner or later."

Sister Feng replied.

She genuinely felt that the sleep schedules of these shut-in men and women should be forcibly adjusted; otherwise, it wouldn't be long before they were all ending up in the hospital one after another.

"Oh... don't worry about that. We'll have to adjust our schedules when school starts, even if we don't want to. Don't worry, Sister Feng."

Xu Lin laughed it off.

As a member of the Liver team, Xu Lin, who used to be the one who could stay up the most in ESC, naturally knew what kind of insane schedule his colleagues had. But there was nothing he could do; it was a holiday, and what kind of holiday was it if he couldn't stay up all night?

"How dare you say that? You always skip elective courses and choose between required and optional courses. Aren't you the one who 'has no classes' every morning?"

Sister Feng retorted to Xu Lin in an annoyed tone.

Even though she was a top student in college, she still couldn't understand Xu Lin's philosophy that passing was enough and any more points were a waste. In her eyes, you still had to study hard, just in case you needed the knowledge.

"Oh, but there really aren't many classes for Japanese majors..."

Xu Lin weakly retorted, knowing that he had gone too far before.

But after getting up early in the morning to attend a meaningless class on Mao Zedong Thought and Marxist Philosophy, I did nothing else and spent the whole morning idly at school.

She regrets that she cannot accept it.

Actually, the main reason she had the courage was that the teacher didn't take attendance and the participation grade was just for submitting assignments (whispering).

"Alright, I can't be bothered with you anymore. Are you hungry? I'll go make something to eat."

Sister Feng rolled her eyes at Xu Lin and ruffled her hair.

Only now did she have a real feeling of interacting with Xu Lin. Online communication was too unreal because you couldn't touch or see him, but now that she had such a natural interaction with him offline, she really felt like she could become friends with this white-haired girl in front of her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Feng."

Xu Lin nodded. Originally, she wanted to find some snacks to fill her stomach and wait for everyone to get up so they could have lunch together. But now that someone was willing to make breakfast for her, it was better to eat something hot.

I don't do it myself mainly because I'm too lazy to move.

"What about you guys? Xiaozhi, would you like something to eat?"

"I'll pass, I'm already a bit full from eating potato chips."

The girl whom Sister Feng called Xiao Zhi, who was in charge of operations for the third generation, shook her head and rejected Sister Feng's suggestion.

The other three young ladies also shook their heads, indicating that they did not want to eat.

This was also the first time Xu Lin had met this operations manager offline, or rather, he hadn't made a point of contacting him before.

Section 78, Chapter 77: General Discussion of Work

ESC has quite a few operations.

The boss is a visionary and wealthy man, so in order to avoid management chaos and pave the way for ESC, he divided the various positions into very detailed categories.

Responsible for managing the operations of Liver.

Responsible for the operation of equipment and supplies.

And responsible for the planning and operation of video and live streaming projects.

The three departments each have a clear division of labor, which is why the current operations have more than the number of Livers. As a result, even though the entire ESC company has gotten on track and has nine Livers, it is still in a slightly unprofitable state.

Compared to some companies where one operator does the work of three people while being responsible for seven or eight Livers, ESC is definitely luxurious. If it were a small workshop, it would have already gone out of business after six months of losses.

But the boss was very confident in Dipp and had plenty of start-up capital. His goal was to become a super-large company like Nijisanji, which is why he went to great lengths to find people and build the framework for each department.

This is why, even though it's supposed to be working hours, some staff members are here drinking tea.

"Does a lie detector require slices for integration?"

Xu Lin wasn't familiar with these young ladies at all, and they had never met before. But it was awkward for them to sit there playing on their phones, so she had to force herself to start a conversation.

Although this topic is pretty rotten.

"The boss means that each person should answer with a portion of the slices, and it's best if they're fully cooked..."

A young woman wearing glasses, with heavy dark circles under her eyes despite her makeup, stretched and said in a languid tone.

"But that's all for when we get back. Right now, I just want to take a good vacation."

Another young lady smiled and spoke, glancing at Xu Lin.

These ladies are in charge of video live streaming planning and also handle some of the video editing work, but none of them streamed solo yesterday, so they were able to get some rest.

Unlike the unfortunate people in charge of the equipment, who have to work even when they come to team building, yesterday they spent the whole afternoon troubled by wiring issues and couldn't have a proper time to play.

"Speaking of Wakaba, is it Wakaba?"

"Well, it's me."

"Wakaba, how do you take care of your skin? It's so smooth and soft."

The young lady still maintained her last bit of reserve, not directly touching Xu Lin's face, but the fierce light in her eyes was hard to hide.

This made Xu Lin a little flustered.

But who is Xu Lin? She's a quirky character, and when she's not around the young lady, she's a total straight man.

"Go to bed early, get up early, and drink more hot water."

"You usually stay up late?"

"That means she's naturally beautiful."

"Oh, this..."

The young lady was somewhat speechless. She knew Ruoye was a total straight man, but after meeting her in person and seeing how beautiful she was, she thought it was just a persona. Now it seemed...

As expected, ESC is the most realistic virtual company. How come there's absolutely no difference between their offline and live-stream conversations?

"Miss, you should ask Miss and Yi Yi about this. They know more than I do. I'm too lazy to even use face wash..."

Xu Lin knows absolutely nothing about skincare. She doesn't even understand the proper order of using all those bottles and jars that the young lady uses!

Last time, Xu Youyue pulled her aside and said she wanted to take care of her skin. When Xu Lin saw her pull out a bunch of bottles as if by magic, he almost thought she was going to do a chemical experiment on her face!

To be honest, why are there special exfoliating liquids? Shouldn't that be the job of facial cleansers?

But the young lady said it was body lotion used when taking a bath.

This is amazing! Xu Lin has been living for over twenty years and this is the first time he's ever heard of such a thing!

You don't even use face wash!?

The operations girl looked at Xu Lin's smooth skin, so delicate in the sunlight that even his pores were invisible, and then thought about her own dark circles and eye bags.

I'm so jealous.

"I'm so envious! With your looks and talent, why don't you just debut as a real idol? You'd earn way more than this!"

"Because I get stage fright and socially awkward when there are many people around."

Xu Lin sighed and made up a random excuse.

"You don't seem like someone with social anxiety..."

"Wakaba! Breakfast is ready!"

Just then, Sister Feng shouted, rescuing Xu Lin from the hellish world of the young ladies.

"Okay! I'm coming right now!"

"Well then, I'm going to have breakfast now, you two chat."

Xu Lin stood up and said goodbye to the operations team in a seemingly calm manner, but in reality, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

She felt quite pressured being around a group of real girls, even though she was a disguised woman. She should have known better than to pretend to be expressionless and not speak.

"I also wanted to ask her if she and the young lady were really together."

After Xu left, the young lady muttered something to herself with a hint of regret.

"Is that even a question? It's definitely true!"

Another young lady, who had been dozing off and squinting, suddenly opened her eyes and said with a determined look.

"what?"

"Even if I'm a fake Sakura Wakaba, I can't possibly be fake!"

"Keep your voice down, you love-struck idiot. You were pretending to be asleep just now, but now you're all excited about this? Why don't you say this in front of Wakaba?"

Another girl with short, student-like hair, who looked well-behaved, spoke with a distinct Northeastern accent. It wasn't the deliberate Northeastern accent seen in some short videos, but rather a subtle yet easily recognizable one.

【Oh, this...】

Xu Lin sighed silently to himself and took a sip of noodles.

Actually, I could hear it very clearly from here too.

"Sister Feng's cooking is amazing!"

Xu Lin gave Sister Feng a big smile, trying his best to ignore the noise coming from the sofa.

"Don't take their words too seriously. They just enjoy watching your live streams, that's all."

Sister Feng blushed a little. These brats were embarrassing her. She'd deal with them when she got back!
