Chapter 124 - 111, Issue 1, let’s start with a fake one
Mo Yin Operation Department, Cao Yan was in a meeting.
She was one of the managers in the Mo Yin Operation Department, specifically responsible for matters related to internet influencers with over ten million followers.
Today, she had received an application from Wu Li to host a variety show on Mo Yin, which was unprecedented, so she organized a meeting to discuss it specifically.
In fact, Cao Yan harbored resentments toward Wu Li and his backing company for a simple reason: Wu Li did not act like an influencer who wanted to make money.
After becoming popular, he neither accepted advertisements, engaged in live stream sales, nor participated in any commercial activities. What was even more excessive was that he had once gone abroad for over half a month, that is, he did not stream for more than twenty days!
It was like a popular online writer who stopped updating properly and even paused updates for over twenty days. What was he thinking, trying to ascend to heaven?
Such improper behaviors resulted in Wu Li bringing less actual revenue to Mo Yin than some influencers with fewer than ten million fans.

If it weren’t for Wu Li’s video featuring Xingyi Spear gaining popularity again a few days ago, Cao Yan wouldn’t have even organized this meeting and would have directly rejected Wu Li’s application.
Even so, although the meeting was held to discuss the matter, Cao Yan internally wasn’t optimistic about Wu Li’s variety show. After the discussion, the attitude towards Wu Li’s show remained uncertain.

Our platform has always had strict regulations on live broadcast content because we fear accidents. Once Wu Li’s show airs on Mo Yin Platform, this problem arises. What if the content is unairable? Do we just cut it off? But then there’s Qi City TV Station involved, and possibly sponsors too, and it would become a huge hassle if disputes arise because of this."
Cao Yan slowly stated, "Furthermore, the profit aspect of this variety show currently seems to be primarily the platform audience’s tips, which are too insignificant. Unless the other party can secure a substantial amount of sponsorship, we actually don’t stand to make much profit, but rather, we face considerable risk. Therefore, I’ve decided..."
