He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 421: [421] Boss Tang, please show mercy_1
 

“Mr. Ming, what do we do now?”

Upon hearing Mao Anyi’s phone call, the other members of the mystery shopper team all looked toward Ma Xiaoming.

“Hehe, just keep calm, I’ve got your backs if the sky falls. I refuse to believe that a host can turn the world upside down, right?”

Although Ma Xiaoming was feeling nervous inside, he didn’t want to show weakness in front of his subordinates and tried to maintain a strong front.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

He pulled it out to find it was none other than Wang Guoming, the boss of the Quick Shake platform, and he quickly answered the call.

Before he could even speak, an angry voice came from the opposite side, “Ma Xiaoming, I fucking—what the hell is wrong with you? Daring to provoke Mao Anyi? Do you have a death wish?”

Ma Xiaoming was immediately dazed by the scolding.

As a top live streamer on the Quick Shake platform, with his popularity growing recently, Wang Guoming usually spoke to him very politely. This was the first time he had lost his temper like this.

“Mr. Wang, please let me explain…”

“Explain my ass! Ma Xiaoming, I’m representing the platform to inform you that you’ve been banned. Moreover, you’ll need to compensate for all the losses you’ve caused to the platform. If you dare not pay, I’ll see you in court.”

“Mr. Wang, after all I’ve done to attract so much traffic to the platform, is it necessary to be so ruthless?”

“It’s your own foolishness; don’t blame me. If I don’t give the TV station a satisfactory explanation, I might lose my platform. You’d better take care of it yourself.”

After finishing, the person on the other end of the line hung up.

Leaving Ma Xiaoming standing there, stunned.

“Mr. Ming, what did Mr. Wang say?”

The other team members crowded around, asking curiously.

“Mr. Wang said, he’s going to ban our team, and we might… have to compensate the platform for their losses.” Ma Xiaoming delivered the severe news, his voice trembling slightly.

“What? How is that possible? We have so many fans; can they just ban us like that?”

“And compensate? How much are we talking about?”

“It’s hard to say, but probably tens of millions might not cover it?”

“What? Tens of millions? Wouldn’t that bankrupt us?”

“This has nothing to do with me; Ma Xiaoming was the fool, he should be responsible for it himself.”

“Right, right, we’re just workers, only getting our meager salaries each month; this has nothing to do with us.”

“Let’s disperse, we should find other opportunities…”

Seeing that Ma Xiaoming had been banned and was even facing a huge compensation, fearing the fallout might reach them, they quickly scattered like birds and beasts.

The big internet celebrity who’d just been so impressive was now left all alone in an instant.

Ma Xiaoming hurriedly put on a smile and stepped up to Mao Anyi, “Miss Mao, I was blind to provoke you just now. I hope you can overlook my foolishness and show mercy.”

Mao Anyi kept a cold face, “Your words are useless to me; you offended Boss Tang, and only if Boss Tang agrees to let you off, will I have nothing more to say.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoming anxiously sidled up to Tang Feng, “Boss Tang, please show mercy, spare me this once. I swear, from now on, I’ll recommend your store to my fans every day and ensure your business makes a fortune.”

“Heh, I’m not interested; get lost.” Tang Feng waved his hand as if shooing away a fly.

“Boss Tang, please, I’m begging you, I’ll kneel down…”

Ma Xiaoming continued to plead.

Tang Feng was already impatient and waved to the security guards outside the door, “Throw this man out, and without my permission, he is not allowed to set foot inside the store ever again.”

The two security guards immediately rushed up and dragged Ma Xiaoming out.

You could still hear Ma Xiaoming’s pleas in the distance, pitiful indeed.

The staff inside the store looked at Tang Feng in amazement.

They had not expected their new boss to have such a profound influence in the promotional field.

A broadcaster with a million followers was banned just like that.

Even Qin Yanan was both shocked and delighted.

Although she didn’t know how Tang Feng managed to tap into the right connections in the promotional world, it was nothing but beneficial for Elegant Pavilion.

With Tang Feng’s strength and Elegant Pavilion’s reputation, now coupled with the promotion by the TV station, it would be hard not to become a hit.

Shortly after, the filming crew began to lay down tracks and adjust cameras.

Mao Anyi then explained to Ge Hui and the others where to move and what to say once they were on.

As Tang Feng and Qin Yanan did not want to be on camera, they left the on-camera opportunity to Ge Hui.

Since he loved being in the limelight, they gave him the chance.

When Ge Hui heard he would be the lead interviewee, he almost knelt down to thank Tang Feng.

Before the shoot, he even notified his parents and girlfriend, excitedly telling them he was about to be interviewed by Mao Anyi.

Seeing how he couldn’t contain himself, Tang Feng originally wanted to promote him to be the manager of the store, but now it seemed he needed to observe him a bit longer.

Once everything was ready, they finally began the formal shooting process.

The TV station’s cameramen were seasoned professionals used to this kind of promotional recording, and they knew exactly what to do.

The camera first captured the surrounding environment and the storefront sign, then moved smoothly inside.

The store was already very clean and had just undergone a thorough cleaning, leaving it spotless.

Every employee was dressed neatly and full of energy, and they were all polite and composed in their interactions.

Up to this point, the filming could be called perfect.

However, when it came to Ge Hui’s segment, there was a problem.

When Mao Anyi asked him a simple question and passed him the microphone, he began to tremble all over, and the shaking only increased.

“I… we… at Elegant Pavilion… uhm… that is…”

“Cut!”

Mao Anyi had to stop the recording and looked at Ge Hui with a smile, “Don’t be nervous, we already practiced your lines, right? Just answer as we rehearsed.”

Ge Hui quickly wiped his forehead sweat with a few tissues, his face flushed with embarrassment, “It’s just… facing the camera for the first time, I got too nervous.”

“Take a moment to calm down, then we’ll continue shooting,” she said.

Mao Anyi seemed to have encountered this situation before and appeared quite forgiving.
