I'm busking on the streets with my kid, and my domineering CEO is helping me break into the mus

As soon as she entered, Zhizhi transformed into a koala and ran over to hug Yang Xue's legs.

Yang Xue stroked Zhizhi affectionately and said apologetically:

"Sorry... Auntie is late."

Zhizhi seemed not to hear, rubbing against her aunt and forgetting her previous frustration.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm so sorry, I had some work-related engagements that made me late."

Yang Xue forced herself to be cheerful and went to Teacher Zhang to express her apologies.

She was in a dazed state because she had drunk too much alcohol.

So much so that I forgot to answer my phone while it was vibrating incessantly in my pocket on the subway.

Seeing that she smelled of alcohol and her cheeks were flushed, Teacher Zhang was more understanding.

She sighed softly and said:

"It's okay, being a parent isn't easy..."

"If you are really unable to get away in the future, you can call in advance and Zhizhi can arrange to stay at my home."

"No need, we can't trouble the teachers any further."

Yang Xue responded with deep apology.

Teacher Zhang smiled gently, her eyes full of affection as she looked at Zhizhi.

"I was serious!"

"Zhizhi is such a well-behaved child, she's absolutely lovable."

"Moreover, she is very skillful; the clay figurines she makes are just like figurines."

"As a teacher, I'm incredibly envious."

"I never knew my Zhizhi could make modeling clay!"

Yang Xue looked surprised and couldn't help but look at Zhizhi beside her.

Zhizhi smiled sweetly and carefully took out the carefully crafted doll from her small schoolbag.

The doll's face is sculpted to resemble a confused doll's face, making it very cute.

Her hairstyle is the same as Yang Xue's current short hair, and her outfit also matches her style.

Yang Xue was stunned the moment she received the doll...

She felt a strange pang of sadness in her heart.

Perhaps due to the catalytic effect of alcohol, Yang Xue's emotions surged like a torrent, difficult to control.

She had questioned herself more than once.

Why make such a seemingly reckless and foolish decision?

Why choose the most difficult survival route on the first day of the trek?

Do you see a reflection of yourself in her?

Maybe...

Did dual memories and emotions cause him to lose sight of his own identity?

It's also possible...

But now, it seems she knows...

So this is what it feels like to be cared for and missed by someone.

This is something she didn't have before...

...

The autumn evening was already cool, and the sky was tinged with red.

On the pedestrian street, a big hand holds a little hand and they walk slowly forward.

Yang Xue smiled, savoring the comfort and joy.

For some reason, the world that appeared before her eyes at this moment was brighter, lighter, and more vibrant than ever before.

Even she herself was filled with confusion. Despite being nearly a million in debt, she felt an unprecedented sense of joy, strength, and confidence.

Feeling the warmth in her palm, Yang Xue understood something...

She couldn't help but smile and asked:

"Zhizhi, how come you can sculpt Auntie so realistically?"

Zhizhi looked at the pinkish clouds on the horizon and said thoughtfully:

"My aunt is Zhizhi's only family left in this world."

"Zhizhi must cherish this and remember it well!"

Yang Xue suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She crouched down in front of the girl, her eye level with hers.

Their eyes met, and Yang Xue asked softly:

"Do you miss your mom a lot?"

The little guy didn't respond, but silently lowered his head.

Tears streamed down her cheeks.

It seemed like a further merging of two consciousnesses, and Yang Xue felt a pang of heartache.

She hugged Zhizhi tightly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Your aunt misses her just like you do..."

"Since she entrusted you to your aunt, then your aunt will be your mother from now on."

"Mother..."

Zhizhi trembled upon hearing this and cried out those two words.

Yang Xue also sniffed and gently patted Zhizhi's back.

She secretly vowed to herself that she would make something of herself and give the girl a home filled with happiness.

From that day on, Yang Xue's role changed from "aunt" to "mother".

...

In the following period, Yang Xue began to work with Zhu Yan and Jiang Xiaolong to devise a restart plan for the "wandering singer".

They each had different goals, and they were all full of ambition.

But that's reality; when you're full of enthusiasm and eager to strive, it always pours cold water on you.

Yang Xue has encountered various obstacles in both her work and life over the past week.

Xiaolong Media's live broadcast area is called "Xinmin Commercial Street".

Recently, an area within a 30-kilometer radius of Shinmin Ward in Kyoto was acquired by Tiancheng Group, a Fortune Global 500 company.

After a year of renovation and reconstruction, the formerly dilapidated old town has undergone tremendous changes.

The original narrow, dilapidated street, which was 10 meters wide and 2 kilometers long, has been expanded to 50 meters wide and 5 kilometers long.

Tiancheng's construction companies have also built large shopping malls, entertainment plazas, office buildings, and luxury apartments here.

Even the more bustling commercial streets are not half as good as it.

Such a large-scale construction project naturally attracted a large number of domestic and foreign partners.

Moreover, Tiancheng Company has recently shifted its focus to the online market and is vigorously promoting a "live streaming traffic support" program.

As long as the live stream is broadcast in a fixed area, you will enjoy different levels of platform promotion.

As a result, a large number of online celebrities have flocked to Xinmin Commercial Street.

This is definitely a huge blow to Xiaolong Media.

That's how the internet age is: it comes on fast, it iterates quickly, and has a high rate of obsolescence.

In the beginning, many internet celebrities even tried to capitalize on the popularity of the "street singers" from back then.

There are all sorts of "Northeast wandering singers," "Central China wandering singers," and even "Hogwarts wandering singers."

This ID is so overused.

Now, after countless generations, even these things are almost gone.

They're like the titles of online novels—outdated.

If music live streaming doesn't come up with some new tricks, it's just a pipe dream to establish itself in commercial districts.

Therefore, when Jiang Xiaolong's team returned here, they were simply not competitive.

Even though Yang Xue's songs are good, very few people still buy into them.

After a week, the "wandering singer's" online fan account only increased by a little over 400.

Offline viewership is low, with fewer than 20 people watching each day.

Even though Yang Xue sang Jay Chou's "He Doesn't Understand" to the maximum score (160 points), she still failed to attract wider attention.

To make matters worse, the second system music track that was unlocked was an old song by Will Pan called "Happy Worship".

This is a hip-hop rap song that was all the rage in the early 2000s.

Even today, the rhythm remains timeless.

The problem is that it doesn't fit the playing style of a "wandering singer".

"Wandering singers" seek an atmosphere of vicissitude, tranquility, and melancholy.

The account operation mainly focuses on folk songs and love songs.

The cheerful style feels too out of place with the content.

Yang Xue tried to import some other music, as well as popular songs of the era, but with little success.

I originally wanted to write a song to complete a task, but no one requested a song priced at 30 yuan, so I tried priced at 20, 10, and finally 3 yuan, but no one bought it.

At first, she thought the problem was with her own skills or the content she was writing.

However, after several days of investigation, the team discovered that it was not because she sang poorly, nor was it a mistake in the operations.

The fundamental problem lies in the "territory"...

Speaking of "territory", we have to mention the "dual-line traffic support plan" launched by Tiancheng Company.

To increase traffic, Tiancheng encourages everyone to do live streaming.

Therefore, the cooperating live streaming platforms have different support and incentive programs for the online celebrities and vendors who have settled in the street.

Based on traffic, Tiancheng will rate these people.

The highest level is S-level, and the lowest level is F-level.

The incentive bonus for S-level employees can be as high as 5 per quarter.

The incentive bonus for Class F is 3 per quarter.

But online celebrities and vendors are different.

Vendors receive tax breaks and incentives, while online celebrities have more freedom; they can broadcast live as they please as long as they don't disrupt order.

However, certain popular areas require real strength to secure.

Such as squares with high pedestrian traffic, or rest areas.

To broadcast live in this area, you must "compete" through PK (player versus player) battles.

The format of the PK is also very simple: contact professional streamers from the relevant sections of the platform to host the competition.

The ranking is based on three dimensions: popularity, popularity on the charts, and performance rating.

PK can be initiated by the streamer themselves.

Alternatively, it can be refreshed after the mall settles its rewards each quarter.

Yang Xue had watched live streams of the trending areas.

Even a simple hand gesture like a flower can garner over 10 online views.

This is the difference between having territory and not having territory.

The rotating PK tournament hosted by Tiancheng will have to wait another month.

If you take the initiative but don't have enough leverage, the other party can simply refuse.

The team's live streaming plans are currently in trouble.

The company's livestreamers secretly questioned Yang Xue's abilities.

The old fans of the "Wandering Singer" account are not buying into the new streamer's act.

Work pressure is one thing.

They even have to meddle in people's lives...

Because of her breakup with Qian Lang, Yang Xue has to repay a huge debt of 1 yuan by the end of this month.

Once the deadline is missed, all her online payment services will be suspended.

At this extremely difficult moment, little Yang Zhiyao stepped forward...
