    Chapter 198: It’s All President Chen’s Doing

    Today, as soon as he started the live broadcast, the number of viewers in the live room had already surpassed 100. Something was definitely off.

    Li Shen thought for a moment, then opened his personal homepage, and immediately spotted the problem.

    Originally, his live streaming account only had a little over 1,000 followers. How had it suddenly increased by more than 10,000? What was going on?

    How had his followers grown so much overnight?

    Li Shen was a bit stunned but quickly adjusted his mindset.

    No need to worry about that now.

    Just focus on the live stream first. With so many people in the live room, it was definitely a good opportunity to promote the company properly.

    Li Shen adjusted his mood. Looking at the nearly 300 people in the live room at that moment, he felt a bit excited. At this rate, the number of viewers might break a thousand today.

    If he promoted well, maybe he could really recruit a few agents.

    Two hours later, it was already past four in the afternoon.

    Normally, he only streamed for an hour each day, but seeing the large number of viewers today, he extended the stream by another hour.

    During these two hours, the peak number of viewers in the live room reached 1,500.

    More importantly, during this live session, four people actually inquired about agency matters. He had already followed and privately messaged them.

    He planned to send their contact information to the Business Department later so they could get in touch.

    Also, through the live chat barrage, he roughly figured out why his followers had surged. It turned out that during yesterday’s team-building live stream, someone had edited the video of his team-building session and posted it online.

    That video had quickly gone viral on the internet, which was how so many people found him.

    Video editing?

    Li Shen recalled that yesterday during dinner, he had discussed live streaming matters with Liu Jie, the new head of the live streaming team, and Liu Jie had said he could help edit today’s live stream content.

    Could it be that Liu Jie was the one who edited the video?

    The more Li Shen thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He remembered he had given the screen recording of the live stream to Liu Jie, but he had been a bit tipsy at the time and didn’t remember clearly.

    After tidying up his live streaming equipment, he left the workshop, hopped on a public electric scooter parked outside, and headed straight to the office building.

    Arriving at the live streaming room, Li Shen gently knocked on the door and walked in, finding Liu Jie supervising the live stream not far away.

    “Brother Li, is there something you need?” Liu Jie quickly asked upon seeing him.

    “Nothing major, just wanted to talk to you about something. Is this a good place?” Li Shen looked up toward the streamer who was introducing clothing styles in the distance.

    Liu Jie hesitated for a moment. “Um, let’s go outside and talk.”

    As long as they kept their voices down, it wouldn’t disturb anyone, but discussing things quietly here would be uncomfortable.

    “Let’s go to my office,” Li Shen said.

    Outside, Li Shen led the way into his office.

    “Brother Li, this office is nicely decorated!” Liu Jie looked around and sighed appreciatively.

    “It’s all President Chen’s doing. I didn’t really arrange anything,” Li Shen said, casually pouring a glass of water and handing it to Liu Jie.

    All the offices in the entire office building had been decorated by President Chen, who had hired a renovation company. The necessary desks and chairs were standard in every office.

    Even the potted plants and some wall paintings were already arranged.

    More impressively, President Chen had even hired dedicated cleaning staff to take care of office hygiene and watering the plants.

    Liu Jie took the cup of water and looked around the office, feeling moved.

    “President Chen really treats the employees well!”

    Although Liu Jie didn’t know the exact costs, the decorations were definitely not cheap.

    Just those few potted plants alone, he had checked before, each costing over a thousand yuan.

    Not to mention the other decorations.

    “Enough about that, let’s get down to business,” Li Shen said, pouring himself a glass of water, sitting down, and looking up at Liu Jie.

    “The team-building live stream video from yesterday—was that your edit, Brother Liu?”

    “Yes, Brother Li. Didn’t you ask me to edit and post it yesterday?” Liu Jie looked at Li Shen with a puzzled expression. It was Brother Li himself who had brought up the matter during dinner yesterday.

    Why did he suddenly not remember today?

    “Really? I drank a bit too much yesterday and don’t remember some things clearly,” Li Shen said awkwardly with a smile.

    He must have blacked out.

    Liu Jie nodded, then nervously asked, “Brother Li, is there any problem with the edited video?”

    “No problem at all. In fact, that edited video went viral. My live streaming account’s followers have jumped from 1,000 to over 10,000.”

    “I vaguely remember discussing live streaming with you yesterday, so I wanted to ask you about it. I didn’t expect it was you who edited the video.”

    “You’re a big hero for Clothing Factory this time. I checked, and that edited video is still spreading wildly. The number of followers on my account keeps rising.”

    “When the follower count reaches a certain level, it will definitely bring a big boost in fame to Clothing Factory.”

    “At that time, I’ll be sure to report your contribution to President Chen,” Li Shen said excitedly. He was already imagining the clothing brand’s fame soaring, more agents signing up, and the clothes selling like crazy nationwide.

    Clothing Factory would finally turn from a loss-making state to profitability.

    Recently, he and Jiang Cheng and some other key members of Clothing Factory had been worried about the company’s situation.

    Since Clothing Factory’s transformation, it had been operating at a loss. There were no agents, clothes weren’t selling, and with labor costs and living expenses, the company was burning through a lot of money every day.

    Although President Chen said there was enough funding to support them, so they could rest assured, as an employee, how could he really be at ease?

    Cangxue Games was already making tens of millions in monthly revenue.

    Even if Clothing Factory didn’t make that much, it couldn’t keep losing money forever!

    But today’s surge in live stream followers gave him hope that Clothing Factory could turn things around.

    Seeing Li Shen’s excited expression, Liu Jie felt a bit embarrassed.

    “Brother Li, I just casually edited it. I didn’t expect it to go viral.”

    “That’s different. I’ve edited many videos, but none went viral. Yours did right away. It must be my editing technique that’s lacking. That’s why I called you over. There’s another thing—I want to ask you about editing.”

    Li Shen spoke seriously.

    His editing skills were mostly learned from online tutorials, and his edits were too one-dimensional.

    They couldn’t compare to the videos edited by a professional editor.

    He had also watched that viral video, and it was much more interesting than his own edits.

    If he could edit the previous videos to that level, even if they didn’t go viral, they would at least be more engaging!
