The Fine Food Broadcaster

Ye Fei ended the chat with Tang Xiaomin and clicked on Feng Tianlai’s bouncing icon. Immediately, N number of messages filled his screen.

“Great Deity Ye Fei, good day, I am QQ Broadcasting Fine Food Section’s Supervisor Feng Tianlai.”

“Great Deity Ye Fei, we’re very happy that you have chosen our QQ Broadcasting as your preferred platform for your broadcasting needs. It’s our honour to have you.”

“Deity Ye? Are you there?”

“Deity Ye, I’d like to know when your next broadcasting would be, tomorrow? Could you give us a hint?”

“Looks like Deity Ye is really busy, no time to greet me.”

“Deity Ye, I have only one question, it won’t take much of your time. Please let us know a little earlier when your next broadcast will be, all right? When the time comes, I wish to personally witness Deity Ye’s glory with my own eyes.”

“… …”

This Feng Tianlai was acting like a persistent little fan, sending dozens of messages in one go. In reality, Ye Fei could not have replied to the sudden deluge of messages.

It was around this point that Ye Fei was finally able to stick in an answer.

“En.”

That’s right, just that one onomatopoeia.

However, this single onomatopoeia was enough to send Feng Tianlai into a frenzy. He immediately sat up and furiously clacked away at his keyboard.

“Deity Ye, you’re done with your business? So happy to know you. Let me once again introduce myself, I-”

“You’re Feng Tianlai? Supervisor of the Fine Food Section?:

Feng Tianlai have not yet finished typing when Ye Fei’s message popped up.

Feng Tianlai hurriedly deleted his unfinished message and sent an excited face emoji, “It is I, Deity Ye, it’s so difficult to get in touch with you, ah. Looks like you’re a really busy person.”

Ye Fei laughed, “I was just chatting with a pretty sister, apologies, ah.”

Feng Tianlai, “… …”

The f*ck, looks like this Great Deity also likes beauties, ah. Aaah, why am I not a beautiful maiden? If I am a pretty maiden, I’m sure Great Deity would not ignore me for too long.

“A Great Deity has great taste, ah. Oh yes, I realise that Great Deity’s time is valuable, so I won’t take up too much of it. I would like to know when your next broadcasting time would be.”

“Tomorrow, noon.”

Feng Tianlai went into a frenzy again, with Ye Fei’s broadcasting schedule in hand, he could now arrange the notification times properly.

“This is an excellent slot. A time when most people are on their break. However, I still have one question I’d like to ask, Great Deity,”

Ye Fei answer was a short and indifferent, “Speak.”

Though short, this word was like a precious gold nugget to Feng Tianlai. After all, how could a person without a quirky personality be deemed a Great Deity, ah?

“This is a broadcast related question. I realised that a large number of broadcasters prefer to do their live show at night when most people are free to watch their live broadcast. Why did Great Deity not stream at night?”

Ye Fei sent a smiley emoji, “Do you eat your three meals at night?”

Feng Tianlai, “…day time, I eat them during the day, of course.”

“That’s right, though there are more people at night. We have to consider the type of broadcast these people are interested in. For Song & Dance or Storytelling Section, this is definitely the best time for them. However, for the Fine Food Section and Outdoors Sports Section, that sort of timing means nothing to us.”

In truth, Ye Fei was mostly talking out of his ass. He was a true novice within the broadcasting industry and had merely typed out whatever nonsense came into his head.

However, when Feng Tianlai saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He sat up straight in front of the computer, clapped his hands, and cried, “Bravo! No wonder Great Deity is a Great Deity, ah! Why have I never thought of this? Of course, Fine Food shows should be broadcast during the day for the best effect. That’s when everyone’s eating. That way, even when they ended up feeling hungry from watching our broadcasters eat, they could also eat too.

As for the Outdoor Sport’s Section. Sports should naturally be done during the daytime. Why should they do Outdoor Sports at night? Are they training for the battlefield? A single line from the Great Deity had woken me up, ah! Clearly, a single piece of advice from a gentleman is more valuable than my 10 years of broadcasting experience, ah! Great Deity is too awesome. This one has benefited from your instructions,” Feng Tianlai was very generous with his flattery.

Ye Fei laughed to himself again. He asked, “I’d like to know something. Didn’t I just achieve over HX¥30,000 reward yesterday? According to your company’s terms & conditions, I should be getting around HX¥20,000, right? How do I withdraw this money?”

The smile froze on Feng Tianlai’s face. He re-read Ye Fei’s message in disbelief. He thought: Wei, didn’t you just fry potato threads with Rose Oil? What’s HX¥20,000 to you?

However, since the Great Deity mentioned it, he had to answer.

“It’s simple. How about this? Since Great Deity wishes to withdraw now, I shall send a form to you. Once you’ve filled up the form, I will do the rest.”

Ye Fei was shocked, “Still need to fill in a form?”

Feng Tianlai sent up an awkward face emoji, “It’s company policy. Every broadcaster who wishes to withdraw money must fill in a form. It’s a way for us to track all withdrawal requests. Additionally, there’s a limit to how much each leader could approve. For example, as a supervisor, my limit is 50,000. Anything above that, we’ll have to look for the Manager.”

Ye Fei muttered an ‘oh’ to himself before saying, “I see, that’s fine. Send me the form. I shall fill it up right away.”

Feng Tianlai was quite efficient. A short while later, a form was sent to Ye Fei, “This is the withdrawal form. On the form is a list of all the reward items from your fans as well as the total reward amount. Please fill in all the necessary details and return the form to us.”

Ye Fei gave the form a quick glance and blanked out for a moment. He had not realised this before, but when the items and rewards were laid out nicely in front of him, the numbers were quite shocking.

There were several thousands of flowers, a few thousand applause, over a thousand lollipops, a few hundred mountain bikes, over three hundred electric cars… The most prominent items were sports cars. There were a total of 14 cars with each car valued at HX¥1,000. The sports cars alone are already worth ¥14,000, ah.

After allowing himself a little time to get excited, Ye Fei calmly filled in all the necessary information before sending the form back to Feng Tianlai.

“Is this alright?”

A long time later, Feng Tianlai finally replied, “It looks fine, you may leave the rest to me.”

Ye Fei sent out a smiley face, “I’ve troubled you,”

Privately, however, Ye Fei felt puzzled. After all, surely someone like a supervisor should not be handling minor stuff like this? Surely this is a job for one of those minor statisticians?

How could he have known that Feng Tianlai was not only the Supervisor for the Fine Food statistics section, but was also the Supervisor for the entire Fine Food Section in general? In short, whether it is statistics, operations, marketing or other aspects, it was all under him. Otherwise, how could he have the authority to directly recommend Ye Fei to Manager Zhao Sen?

Feng Tianlai said, “It’s no trouble. It is my pleasure to serve you. Please leave everything to me, I shall let you know when it is done.”

At this, Feng Tianlai logged out.

When Ye Fei thought of the incoming HX¥20,000, an indescribable feeling overcame him. Just last night, he had been chased around by that Old Ma rent lady. Now in a blink of an eye, his income had increased by over HX¥20,000! This kind of ice and fire feeling was really too exciting, ah.

It did not take long before his phone chirped. When he checked his phone, there was a message from the bank informing him that a positive transfer of HX¥22,400 had entered into his account.

Ye Fei pumped his fist excitedly, “I’m rich!”

The smile on his face had yet to disappear when someone knocked on his door.

Surprised, Ye Fei asked, “Who is it?”

The voice of Ma Cuihua came through the door, “What’s all that noise you’re making? Rich? If you’re rich pay your rent to this old lady now!”

Ye Fei, “…f*ck, the moment I picked up some mutton a wolf arrived.”

[Gumihou: Haha, what an interesting expression.]
