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

Chapter 80 Cooperation!

I arrived at the MCN company called 'Xiaochi' around the normal time to get off work in the afternoon.

After parking his car in the open-air parking lot, Gu Huai was about to walk inside.

"and many more."

"What's wrong? Did you not park the car properly?"

"No, don't rush in. Let's go to Starbucks and buy two iced Americanos."

"what?"

Gu Huai didn't understand why he didn't buy coffee before leaving, since there was a Starbucks downstairs from his company.

Gu Huai had Starbucks coffee once, treated by Xu Cheng. He couldn't say how it tasted, but it was very effective at relieving constipation; he almost always had an effect after drinking it.

"The people running MCNs these days are mostly young people who like to work from morning till night. If you show up empty-handed and in a hurry, it makes our company seem too rudimentary and makes us seem serious and unapproachable. Bringing a couple of cups of coffee makes us seem more relaxed."

"real or fake?"

Gu Huai hadn't considered such a thing. Business was business, and casual conversation was casual conversation. He was more suspicious that the other party was trying to make things difficult for him.

"Just go, I'll transfer the money to you later."

"No need then, it's just coffee, consider it my treat for Team Leader Cai."

"So polite?"

Cai Yan raised an eyebrow. Gu Huai, bathed in sunlight, walked towards the Starbucks across the street. He smiled and said, "You already gave me a raise, what's this little thing?"

When Gu Huai arrived at Starbucks and scanned the code to pay for the two iced Americanos, he felt as if his heart was bleeding.

Selling such a small cup for almost forty yuan? Why don't you just rob someone?!

Small cup is small cup, why call it medium? Did the Starbucks owner get called "small" by women, so does he have some kind of post-traumatic stress disorder related to the word "small"?
Carrying the Starbucks, Cai Yan walked inside with the coffee in a very professional manner.

Gu Huai looked at the way the other person held the coffee; she did indeed resemble the kind of internet celebrity who exudes a relaxed vibe, and the iced Americano in her hand looked just like a fashionable item.

Why can't I evoke that feeling? Like the internet cafe manager who sneaks a sip of leftover drinks from customers.

This MCN company is quite large, occupying three whole floors of this office building.

This was quite a force to be reckoned with in the provincial capital. As soon as Gu Huai arrived at the front desk, he noticed the difference between this company and others. Gu Huai had never seen so many attractive young men and women coming and going, moving in and out.

They dressed in glamorous outfits, showcasing all sorts of styles, from innocent high school girls to aloof and mature women, from the epitome of pure and alluring to the stepmother style that's sure to turn heads.

Things I used to only see on short videos are now right in front of me, dazzling my eyes. It makes me wonder how wonderful it must be to work in a place like this?

However, Gu Huai quickly let it go. Seeing so many handsome men with long legs and skin even whiter than girls, someone like him who likes to fight internally would probably want to hang himself the next day.

"Okay, Ms. Cai, right? Mr. Yuan is already in his office. He said he'll come over to pick you both up."

Even the receptionist is pretty and cute.

Cai Yan quickly said, "We can go see him ourselves; there's no need for us to come out in person."

"Our boss is just that enthusiastic, you'll get used to it."

The girl at the front desk said with a smile.

Cai Yan could only smile and thank him, then turned around and saw Gu Huai standing at the door, completely absorbed in the conversation.

She looked over, amused. "What, thinking of switching jobs and working here?"

Gu Huai snapped out of his daze and immediately shook his head. "What nonsense! The pressure of working here is immense. You're surrounded by people who are taller and more handsome than you. You can't work at all."

Cai Yan laughed and said, "I thought you were looking at a beautiful woman."

Gu Huai turned to look at Cai Yan and replied matter-of-factly, "There's no one here prettier than you."

"?"

It seemed that she hadn't expected Gu Huai to have this instinctive reaction at all.

She thought she would never hear such words from this man in her life, so her cheeks flushed unexpectedly, and she didn't know what expression to make or what to say.

fortunately
"Are you Ms. Cai, the one I spoke to on the phone?"

The sudden appearance of a man's voice brought Cai Yan a sense of relief, and she turned around almost simultaneously with Gu Huai. There stood a young, handsome man with a very stylish hairstyle, smiling at them from the doorway.

"Are you General Manager Yuan?"

Cai Yan asked.

The man chuckled and said, "Don't be so polite. Your brother and I are old friends. I was the one who brought the girls to your brother's birthday party last time. Cough cough cough, let's not talk about that. Anyway, my name is Yuan Shu, the Shu of trees. Call me whatever you like."

Cai Yan wasn't someone who didn't understand social etiquette. She knew that if you could get closer to someone, you shouldn't be too distant. So she smiled and replied, "Okay, then I'll call you Brother Yuan. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to talk to us."

Yuan Shu waved his hand with a smile, "What do you mean by 'busy as a bee'? I'm working behind the scenes now, I'm very free. Besides, you're Cai Yi's sister, right? I was wondering why that kid Cai Yi only ever tells me about having a sister like you, but never lets me see you. You're so beautiful, huh? He's treating me like a thief."

"Brother Yuan is joking."

"I'm not kidding, it's rare to see a girl as beautiful as you. Interested in joining our company? Someone like you could easily make a million in a month just by using up all the traffic. Why not give it a try?"

"Forget it, I'm not suited for this line of work, and I don't like being in the public eye."

"Oh, that's a pity." Yuan Shu showed a very regretful expression. Gu Huai could tell that this was genuine. After all, Gu Huai felt that women of Cai Yan and Lin Jiang's looks and qualities were simply outclassed on short video platforms.

However, it's hard to say whether this environment will change their original character and make them no longer their original selves.

"Oh right, I forgot to invite you in. What are you doing standing at the door? Come on in."

"it is good."

"By the way, who is this?"

Indeed, compared to Yuan Shu, a man who is used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women and is a young boss, Gu Huai is the type who seems to have no presence.

hateful.

Do you know how many points you've spent on your charm?
Cai Yan introduced, "This is Gu Huai, my assistant."

At this moment, Cai Yan seemed to be deliberately trying to flatter Gu Huai, saying as they walked, "He was the one who did our company's live-streaming sales last time. Speaking of which, you might know Brother Yuan, the host from last time."

"So, this person also does live streaming?"

Yuan Shu glanced at Gu Huai with a hint of surprise.

Clearly, from his perspective, this man, who was not particularly special and even somewhat taciturn, was not cut out for this line of work.

Gu Huai smiled politely and replied, "I don't really know much about it either. I was lucky last time. This time, the company specifically sent me here to learn."

"Haha, no need to be so modest. Our company mainly trains internet celebrities, writes scripts, and generates traffic. Actually, we're not that familiar with the live-streaming e-commerce industry. If none of you know how, this collaboration might be in trouble."

Although it was said in a joking manner.

However, his attitude was also very clear: if you're hoping to solve the problem by spending a small amount of money to hire a top livestreaming host, forget about it. They can provide hosts with a large following, but the price won't be low, and Gu Huai himself will likely have to guarantee the sales performance.

The two followed Yuan Shu into the company, where the scene inside became even more exaggerated.

Many livestreamers have started broadcasting from various phone stands, their voices filled with accents from all over the country, making it sound like a flower and bird market.

Seemingly aware of this, Yuan Shu said with a smile, "Generally, small-time streamers don't have the authority to start streaming anytime, anywhere. They usually need some time to get used to it."

"Are big streamers different?"

Cai Yan asked.

"Of course, you can choose to stream from home, or have your own dedicated streaming space at the company, complete with an assistant and copywriter who usually post videos. Those are all cash cows; a single commercial order isn't cheap. Although we can negotiate a friendly price based on our relationship, don't expect too low a price. Okay, come in."

Yuan Shu smiled and opened the office door, and the two followed him inside.

The two had barely stepped inside when a figure emerged from the corridor.

She stopped and frowned suspiciously.

He seemed to doubt that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Gu Huai?"
