He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he eventually did not.
After all, he was only an employee. Who was he to tell his boss how to spend money?
Besides, it was inevitable for a young and successful person like Chairman Tang to be ambitious.
However, Haotian Group had stable financial resources, so it was fine for Chairman Tang to mess around a little. He might even learn a lesson if the venture failed.
At that moment, the two of them stopped talking.
“That settles it! You can go and get the company set up as soon as possible. I’ll be leaving first.”
After saying that, Tang Hao got up and left.
It was the National Day holiday period, and Tang Hao did not have to attend classes. He accompanied Yan’er and toured around Provincial City.
At the same time, he paid close attention to Tianze Entertainment.
Liu Bingyao might still be in training, but the company had been preparing for her eventual debut.
She had uploaded several of her covers of well-known love songs on Weibo, and they had caused quite a stir.
The popularity of those videos skyrocketed when Tianze’s marketing account promoted them. She was poised to be an Internet celebrity.
“Oh my god! She’s so beautiful, like a fairy!”
That was what many people commented about her.
“She’s so beautiful, and her voice is heavenly! Can anyone tell me what her name is? I’m falling in love with her!”
Her popularity continued to increase. Very soon, she would be a trending topic.
Her official, company-managed account appeared. In one day, it gained about a hundred thousand followers.
Chapter 563 - Tuning In To the Live Stream
A few days into the holiday season, Tang Hao returned to Westridge to accompany Qin Xiangyi.
When the holiday ended, he returned to Provincial City.
Early in the morning, he went to class.
He took a bus and got off not far from the university entrance. He bought breakfast, then walked toward the university while eating.
“Hey! Isn’t that Tang Hao?”
“it’s really him. Look, it’s Tang Hao!”
Soon, people noticed him and stopped walking. They pointed at him and whispered to each other.
“Do you guys think that Beauty Queen Liu ventured into the entertainment industry because she got dumped by him?”
“That’s possible! It must be because of Beauty Queen Shi. I knew it! Men are all up to no good, especially when they’re rich.”
“Hey! Are you all Idiots? That means that we stand a chance! What chance would we have if he’s too loyal?”
“That’s true!”
These were the discussions of the girls.
The boys, on the other hand, had bitter looks on their faces.
“He’s an animal!”
“Absolutely inhumane! He dumps Beauty Queen Liu after he’s done with her, and now he’s going after Beauty Queen Shi? What an animal!”
Tang Hao could not help but roll his eyes when he heard that. ‘Just what is going on?’
He walked quickly and arrived at the classroom.
In the classroom, the girls regarded him curiously.
“Stop your fantasies. It’s not like that at all!” Tang Hao said.
“Oh!” The girls replied, though they did not seem to believe him.
Tang Hao had no choice but to walk to the back and sit down.
“You’re a jerk, Brother Hao! Cao Fei came over and said resentfully.
“Stop that nonsense!” Tang Hao glared at him and said exasperatedly.
“Oh no, Brother Hao is angry. Let’s go somewhere else. Remember to watch Beauty Queen Liu’s live stream later!” Cao Fei and his friends went away.
“Live stream?” Tang Hao was surprised.
“Yes, live stream! Haven’t you heard about it? No wonder. You’ve already dumped her, so that’s why you don’t care,” Cao Fei said.
Tang Hao glared at him and said, “Come here and explain to me. What live stream?”
“Don’t you know what a live stream is? Her Weibo account says that it’s at ten o’clock on Sky Live. Many people at Z University are planning to skip class to watch her stream!
“Don’t you know how crazy the university forums were when she first announced her channel? It’s not any less sensational than your incident back then.
“This is the first time that Z University produces a celebrity! I’m excited just thinking about it!
“What’s going on though? I heard that Beauty Queen Liu is quitting school to focus on her singing career…”
“What about it? She can do whatever she likes!” Tang Hao said.
He took out his phone and logged onto Weibo. There was indeed such a post.
He rarely used his phone outside of making calls, and he was not too well-versed with popular social media apps either.
He searched for Sky Live on the app store and downloaded it.
“Live streaming seems to be the trend now!” Tang Hao said.
“Of course! I watch it every day. But I watch game streams, not female streamers. Don’t think otherwise, Brother Hao!” Cao Fei said.
Tang Hao ignored him. He registered an account in the app and familiarized himself with it.
After two periods of classes, Tang Hao bailed with Cao Fei and the others.
They sat down next to a flower bed and took out their phones one by one, waiting for the live stream to start.
Not long after, the stream began.
Tang Hao saw that more than a thousand viewers were already waiting in the stream. The next moment, the number increased to more than three thousand and continued to grow as the seconds passed.
Very quickly, it exceeded thirty thousand and was still increasing.
‘Wow! So many viewers!’ Tang Hao was shocked.
“They must be here from Weibo,” Cao Fei said, “Of course, many of them are from Z University!”
Tang Hao entered the stream and saw a cute smiling face. She was facing the camera and waving her hands. Behind her was Tianze Entertainment’s recording studio.
“Hello, everyone!” She shouted and smiled sweetly.
In an instant, the bullet screen exploded. Messages floated like dark clouds and covered the screen.
“Oh, the screen is dirty. Let me lick it!”
“Ah! I can’t take it anymore! I’m going to fall in love with the streamer.”
“Reporting from Z University! We will always love you, Beauty Queen!”
Of course, there were also some obscene messages.
Tang Hao was speechless. ‘There’s nothing to watch under those messages!’
Soon, Liu Bingyao began to sing. Gifts began to flood the screen. It was a dazzling sight.
“I should give her some gifts too!”
Tang Hao decided that he should not lag behind those people.
He navigated to the recharge screen.
“You want to recharge, Brother Hao? How much money are you planning to spend? Ten or twenty thousand yuan?” Cao Fei came over.
“I can charge a million yuan, right?” Tang Hao said.
“Pfft!”Cao Fei nearly spat out a mouthful of saliva.
“One… one million?” Cao Fei was dumbfounded.
“That’s right! Let’s start with one million yuan,” Tang Hao said, “I’ve said it before, I’ll support her.”
Cao Fei was almost crying.
‘What? One million yuan? Brother Hao didn’t even flinch when mentioning it.’
Tang Hao made many payments that totaled five hundred thousand yuan.
“F*ck! I’m so tired! That should be enough for now!” Following that, he began to send gifts.
“The most expensive gift is a rocket. It’s only five hundred yuan? That’s quite cheap!” Tang Hao muttered and tapped on his screen.
In an instant, rockets flew across the screen one after another.
“F*ck! A wild tycoon appears!”
“LOLOLOL…”
The comments flooded the screen again.
After the wave of rockets, the number of viewers began to soar again. It went from fifty thousand, went past sixty thousand, hit seventy thousand, and soon reached a hundred thousand.
Tang Hao was taking a break from sending rockets when another person appeared and started doing the same thing. The two people took turns sending waves of rockets.
Immediately, the bullet screen exploded.
The fight between the two tycoons was indeed a sight to behold.
“Who’s this Young Master Windchaser? What a cheesy name!” Tang Hao mumbled.
“It’s that idiot Fang Qiming, Brother Hao. That’s the name he uses online.”
“Fang Qiming?” Tang Hao was surprised. His competitive spirit was roused.
He would not back down when challenged by that idiot.
He tapped on his screen quickly, and rockets fired from one edge of the screen to the other as though they were free.
However, Fang Qiming was not going to give up just yet.
The entire screen was covered by rockets.
“Oh my god! This is the clash of two titans!”
“This is so exciting! My heart is going to explode!”
The bullet screen remained flooded with comments, and the commotion spread to the other channels.
Countless viewers rushed over to watch the clash between two tycoons. The entire Sky Live was in a state of excitement.
The number of viewers in Liu Bingyao’s stream kept on increasing. Soon, it reached one million and continued to march steadily toward two million.
“This is insane!”
“This is crazy!”
Meanwhile, Cao Fei and the others were dumbfounded.
Chapter 564 - A Spectacular Scene
Wave after wave of rockets flew past the screen, like looming storm clouds.
There seemed to be no end to them.
The streamers and viewers were all stunned.
They had witnessed their fair share of tycoon fights, but not at this level.
‘How long has it been? The stream of rockets on the screen hasn’t broken at all.’
They had lost count of the rockets.
‘Dammit, other people fire rockets one by one, but those two tycoons fire them wave after wave!
‘Those aren’t rockets at all. They’re piles and piles of cash thrown to the wind!’
That level of consumption was stunning enough to cause a concussion.
The entire Sky Live fell into a frenzy.
“F*ck! This is too crazy! Two super godly tycoons!”
“Boo hoo, I’m so envious! Why am I not as lucky? Can’t those two super godly tycoons fight over me?”
“Quick! Let’s watch the godly tycoons duke it out. I wonder what beauty could cause such a bloodbath?”
The number of stream viewers skyrocketed. In a short while, it broke through two million and headed toward three million.
At the same time, the number of subscribers broke through one million.
The stream was pushed to the top of the front page. Its popularity was phenomenal.
Even the staff members of Sky Live broadcast were stunned. That was the biggest display of fireworks they had seen.
“Who’s the streamer?”
“I think she’s a newcomer!”
“Just a newcomer? That’s utterly crazy! She gained a million subscribers on her first stream!”
“Oh right, it’s that popular Weibo personality. Her name is Bingyao. I think she’s a newcomer from an entertainment company. She probably wants to use the live stream to boost her popularity!”
“Quick, quick! Hurry up and contact her agent. We must keep her on Sky Live!”
The students of Z University were also stunned.
At this moment, screams could be heard all over the campus, and the male dorm building was filled with excitement.
“They’re still at it? Oh my god! How many rockets are there?”
“Three million and forty… three million and fifty… they’re going to hit four million viewers! The number of subscribers is hitting 1.1 million! This is amazing! Beauty Queen Liu’s charm is irresistible!”
“Young Master Windchaser must be Fang Qiming. But who’s this Qing Feng?”
“It can’t be Tang Hao, right?”
“No way! I heard that he dumped Beauty Queen Liu!”
“If it’s not Tang Hao, then who is it?”
In the recording studio, Liu Bingyao opened her mouth in shock.
She didn’t expect such a sensational scene to happen on her first live broadcast.
At first, she thanked her benefactors profusely. Eventually, she stopped talking and silently watched the waves of rockets flying across the screen.
“Hurry Up! Sing! Try to retain the audience!” He Meiting was thrilled.
She had expected about a hundred thousand viewers to tune in to the stream. However, she did not expect it to reach more than three and a half million.
Liu Bingyao quickly composed herself and sang a few songs in a row.
In an instant, the bullet screen exploded again.
“Wow! Her voice is heavenly!”
“The streamer must be a fairy! She’s so good-looking and has such a good voice! Wow! What a devilish figure!”
As the comments continued to pour in, the number of subscribers on her channel had shot past 1.7 million.
Tang Hao, on the other hand, kept his head down and continued to send rockets. His account soon emptied, but he quickly recharged and continued sending. He had lost count of the amount of money he had recharged into the account.
Meanwhile, Fang Qiming gradually slowed down, as though he was going to give up.
After a while, he stopped. There was no movement for a long time.
The stream was filled with excitement.
“Thank god, it’s finally over. My heart can’t take it.”
“Damn! This is the most exciting live stream I’ve ever watched!”
“LOLOLOL… Young Master Windchaser is done for! Tycoon Qing Feng is still the best!”
At that moment, Fang Qiming was sitting in front of his computer in a room. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the bullet screen of the stream. He was embarrassed and angry.
Young Master Fang had lost!
‘This is humiliation! Utter humiliation!
‘How can I go to class tomorrow? All the boys in the school are watching!
‘If I admit defeat now, they’ll laugh at me behind my back!
‘I’m a man! No one can tell me that I can’t do it!’
He gritted his teeth and became angrier. He felt as though all the comments on the bullet screen were laughing at him, and the rockets were bare-faced taunts.
‘This Qing Feng guy is despicable, as despicable as Tang Hao!
‘Oh, right, he might be Tang Hao!
‘Impossible! That’s impossible! Didn’t he already dump Bingyao? Why would he be spending so much money on her?’
“This can’t be!”
Gritting his teeth, he slammed the table and stood up. His eyes were burning with rage.
Then, he took out his phone and began to make several calls.
“Hello, Dad! I’m out of pocket money! Give me two hundred thousand yuan. Yes, I want it now!”
“Mom? I had an accident. My car was rear-ended. I’m fine, but I need a lot of money for repairs. Hurry up and give me some money!”
“Hey, First Uncle! I need to borrow some money. Only 50,000 yuan. It’s urgent.”
“…”
He soon collected five hundred thousand yuan.
“Hmph! Let’s do it again. I don’t believe that I’ll lose to you!”
Fang Qiming sat down and started firing rockets again.
The live stream was once again filled with excitement when the viewers saw Young Master Windchaser make a comeback.
“LOLOLOL… Y
oung Master Windchaser is back at it!”
“Oh my god! Let’s prepare the popcorn!”
The bullet screen exploded instantly, and the atmosphere became crazy once again.
Tang Hao lifted a curious eyebrow, sneered, and fired rockets without hesitation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! One rocket after another flew past the screen.
The two tycoons started their war again.
The entire Sky Live was in an uproar.
“Tycoon Qing Feng is currently in the lead, but Young Master Windchaser is catching up quickly.”
“Oh my god! Young Master Windchaser has fired three thousand rockets! He’s finally in the lead! Congratulations, Young Master!”
“Eh? Qing Feng is retaliating! Oh my god, he’s firing barrages of rockets without hesitation! Qing Feng once again takes the lead!”
“Young Master? What’s wrong with you, Young Master Windchaser? Oh, he’s losing steam!”
The hearts of the millions of viewers went up and down like a roller coaster as comments flew past the bullet screen. It was very exciting.
“Young Master Windchaser can’t take it anymore. Come, let’s congratulate Qing Feng! He won again!”
“All hail Qing Feng!”
“Let me serve you, Tycoon Qing Feng!”
Then, a flood of LOLOLOLs drowned the screen.
Chapter 565 - Haotian Pictures
“This is bullsh*t!”
Fang Qiming stood up and almost flipped the table over.
He had borrowed so much money, but he could not outspend that Qing Feng.
He was furious when he saw the wave of LOLOLOLs on the screen.
In his anger, he closed the app, took out a cigarette, and prepared to light it.
At that moment, someone sent him a message, and his phone vibrated. He opened it and saw a picture of a group of people gathered together. It was a lively scene.
In the middle of the group was that detestable Tang Hao.
Fang Qiming looked at it, and his hand trembled. Then, the cigarette fell from his fingers.
His face turned pale.
An ominous thought surfaced in his mind.
