Chapter 114: Setting a New Record, and Signing with a Live Streaming Platform
Lin Feng smiled.
He walked up behind Lin Xiaoman.
Looking at Lin Xiaoman, who had just finished her first stream, he said with a smile,
"You ended the moment I got here. My timing is perfect."
Lin Xiaoman rubbed her flushed cheeks, then rushed over to hug Su Ruoxi. The two girls embraced and began to cheer.
"Oh my god, Ruoxi, I had no idea so many people were watching!"
"I’m... I’m just so excited right now!"
After Xiaoman and Su Ruoxi finished cheering,
she ran over to Lin Feng, still buzzing with excitement.
She clapped Lin Feng on the shoulder. "Bro, you’re a lifesaver! If you hadn’t boosted me to the top of the rankings, how would I have ever gotten so much traffic?"
Lin Xiaoman’s face was flushed red with excitement.
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at his sister’s excited expression. "Don’t forget, this is just a trial run. You need to see if you actually enjoy it!"
"Don’t let all this initial excitement blind you."
"I hope you choose to be a streamer because you’re passionate about it, not because of this glamorous illusion."
Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Lin Xiaoman gradually calmed down.
"Okay, Bro, I’ll think about it seriously!"
Lin Xiaoman looked at Lin Feng with gratitude in her eyes.
Lin Feng was just that kind of rational person.
When everyone else was swept up in the excitement, Lin Feng remained level-headed.
"Okay, Bro, I’ll talk to you later. I need to go look at my stats on the backend!"
"This gives me such a sense of accomplishment!"
With that, Lin Xiaoman rushed excitedly into her room and started fiddling with her computer.
Su Ruoxi smiled as she watched Lin Xiaoman go into her room, then turned to look at Lin Feng.
"Xiaoman has completely lost that listless air she had before. I honestly think this path is a great fit for her!"
Lin Feng smiled. He knew his sister best.
And honestly, Lin Xiaoman was doing great on this path.
"That’s true, but this kind of thing still depends on Xiaoman’s own wishes."
"But seeing how excited she is right now, I don’t think she’ll give up on this path."
Meanwhile, in her room, Lin Xiaoman hadn’t even had a chance to finish looking through the data on her computer when her phone rang.
It was none other than the operations center of the streaming platform she was on.
"We hope Miss Lin will give this matter some serious consideration. As for the specific contract, we can discuss the details further!"
The customer service representative on the other end of the line had a very sweet and gentle voice.
Lin Xiaoman was floored by this sudden stroke of good fortune.
After hanging up, she stumbled out to the living room in a daze.
"Bro, Ruoxi, I’m kind of freaking out!"
Lin Xiaoman said, looking at the two people in the living room.
Lin Feng frowned at Lin Xiaoman, thinking his silly sister was still reeling from the massive success of her first stream.
But the next second, Xiaoman pulled out her phone. "The customer service from the streaming platform just called me..."
"They want to sign me to a contract, a top-tier streamer contract."
Su Ruoxi said with some surprise, "They’re moving this quickly?"
But after saying that, Su Ruoxi quickly realized why.
With such huge traffic and viewership on her very first day of streaming, Lin Xiaoman was clearly a streamer with great potential.
And it was only her first day, yet Lin Xiaoman already had hundreds of thousands of followers.
That kind of result wasn’t something an ordinary streamer could achieve.
Even some streamers who had been on the platform for years couldn’t reach such heights.
If the platform didn’t have that kind of foresight, it never would have become the most downloaded and used streaming platform today.
Lin Feng, who was standing to the side, knew a thing or two about the streaming world.
He asked Lin Xiaoman directly, "Xiaoman, what tier of contract did they offer?"
Lin Xiaoman thought for a moment, then said, "They’re willing to sign me to a contract for a million-fan-level streamer!"
In truth, the contract offered by the streaming platform was already very generous.
After all, even though Lin Xiaoman had a lot of viewers right now, on her first day, she only had a little over two hundred thousand followers.
Most of them were just casual follows, and you could even say they were only there for the big-spending whale in the Xiaoman Garden channel: Lin Feng.
So while her stats were good, she was still a long way from being a streamer with a million fans.
Signing her to a contract for a million-fan streamer already showed the platform’s immense sincerity.
Lin Xiaoman, who knew a bit about the streaming world, also felt like she’d hit the jackpot when she heard about the contract.
After all, it was her first stream, and the platform wanted to sign her on the very first day.
Lin Feng looked at his sister. "So, do you think you want to sign?"
Lin Xiaoman considered it carefully. "I actually think it’s a good deal. They’ll promote me at the level of a million-fan streamer."
"And really, I’m very interested in this industry. I think I’m pretty well-suited to being a streamer!"
The more Lin Xiaoman thought about it, the more determined she became.
But just then, Lin Feng threw a bucket of cold water on her excitement. "You have to understand, you’re not going to have this kind of viewership and follower growth every single day!"
Lin Xiaoman nodded. "Bro, I know what you’re worried about. For now, I’m just treating this as a hobby I’m developing."
"So I’m not too focused on personal gain, and I don’t care that much about those things."
"Of course, I’ll be happy when people come to watch, but I can also accept the inevitable drop-off!"
Seeing the determined look in Lin Xiaoman’s eyes, though Lin Feng’s expression didn’t change, he inwardly approved.
The only reason Lin Feng had thrown cold water on her was to get her to calm down, to keep her from getting dizzy from the string of good fortune and making an impulsive decision.
Now, it seemed Lin Xiaoman knew exactly what she wanted.
And with that, Lin Feng could rest easy.
"Well, since you’ve made your decision, go ahead and sign with the platform."
Lin Feng nodded with a light chuckle.
"But just because they were being diplomatic on the phone, don’t be a fool and forget to negotiate!"
Lin Feng suddenly turned back and added.
Lin Xiaoman paused. "Negotiate what?"
Lin Feng stepped forward and gently tapped her on the head. "They’re offering you a million-fan-level contract."
"But you broke a record the moment you joined the platform. Naturally, you should push for better terms!"
Lin Feng stopped there and didn’t elaborate further.
Lin Xiaoman nodded in sudden realization.
"Bro, you’re so smart. I almost overlooked that."
Su Ruoxi, standing to the side, shook her head with a smile. "Alright, Xiaoman has been busy since this morning and hasn’t even eaten."
"Aren’t you two siblings hungry?"
Realizing this, Lin Xiaoman pulled Su Ruoxi over and said apologetically, "Ruoxi, my brother’s leaving tomorrow, so I’m afraid we can’t have dinner with you tonight."
Su Ruoxi smiled and nodded, not at all surprised.
It was obvious Lin Feng had already told her.
Su Ruoxi, of course, didn’t mind missing a meal or two.
After all, she and Lin Feng were returning to Yang City together tomorrow, and they would have plenty of time to spend with each other then.
