C17 Shen Geyao Went Missing
In the afternoon, a group of Galaxy Anime executives surrounded Chenyu as they made their way to the live streaming department. Unlike the morning, Shen Geyao was noticeably absent from the group. During this time, Chen Xuan discreetly reminded Manager Yang several times, but even the people under Manager Liu had no idea where Shen Geyao had gone.
As the inspection continued, Ninth Master began to show signs of impatience, maintaining an icy demeanor throughout. Coincidentally, several top hosts were attending an event at the radio station, leaving the remaining female streamers to be sent up by the company. Despite their best efforts, none could win over Ninth Master, and a few were so desperate they nearly resorted to stripping.
Seeing the situation become tense, Boss Liu and Manager Yang kept wiping sweat from their foreheads, constantly signaling to Governor Zhang. If they couldn't satisfy Ninth Master today, any talk of investment would be pointless.
Governor Zhang, aware of the company's critical moment, quickly called a few female streamers to Chenyu's side: "Ninth Master, these two are our top streamers, Dandan and Gentle. They've been with us for the longest time, two years now."
Following Governor Zhang's cue, Dandan and Gentle obediently approached Ninth Master. "Hello, Ninth Master!" they greeted respectfully, eager to present their best selves.
Chenyu remained silent throughout, while Tiantian, feeling overlooked, shot a glance at Governor Zhang before squeezing in with a radiant smile.
"Ninth Master, it's Tiantian. Even though I've only been in this industry for a short time, my performance is the best among the three of us."
As soon as she said this, Boss Liu and General Manager Yang looked visibly uncomfortable. The rivalry among the top streamers is well-known to anyone who watches live streams, but to act so boldly in front of the Ninth Master shows a lack of awareness.
Throughout the entire exchange, Liang Chenyu seemed oblivious to the three girls in front of him. In terms of looks, the three were indeed standouts in the streaming world, but they didn't catch his eye.
"Bring Miss Shen over here," Chen Xuan said sternly.
A bunch of fools—couldn't they see that the Ninth Master's patience was wearing thin? They had no sense of the situation, yet they dared to run a company. It was bound to fail sooner or later. If Shen Geyao didn't work here, these clowns wouldn't even dream of wasting the Ninth Master's time.
Now that Chen Xuan had made it clear, even the higher-ups at Galaxy Anime, dense as they might be, understood his intention. The Ninth Master was looking for Shen Geyao!
"Where's Yao?" Boss Liu suddenly panicked and shouted.
Governor Zhang and Tiantian exchanged glances, wisely choosing to stay silent. Anyone who spoke up now would be taking the blame.
General Manager Yang seemed to remember something and quickly turned to Governor Zhang. "Where's Yao? Isn't she working in your department?"
"Uh..." Governor Zhang hesitated, his bloated face forcing a smile that was anything but pleasant. "It's strange, she hasn't been seen since the lunch break." His heart was practically in his throat. He never imagined that in a crisis threatening the company's survival, an intern could be so crucial. If anyone found out he had punished Shen Geyao by sending her to clean the storage room, he might get fired on the spot. To be safe, he had to keep this under wraps, especially from the Ninth Master. After all, besides Hee Siman, everyone else was Tiantian's people. As long as he kept quiet, no one would mention it.
"You, go check," Governor Zhang pointed to a girl in the know. "See if Shen Geyao has shown up for work and bring her here." He gave her a discreet look, and she understood immediately. Bringing Shen Geyao over was just a stalling tactic; the governor had no intention of letting her complain to the Ninth Master. Otherwise, they could all lose their jobs.
After sending the girl off, Governor Zhang signaled to his three top streamers. They put on their most charming faces, showcasing their talents in front of Liang Chenyu, hoping to keep this golden goose around.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside, loud and chaotic. Amidst the noise, someone could be heard exclaiming, "The storage room is on fire!"
Governor Zhang felt a jolt of panic and quickly excused himself from Boss Liu and General Manager Yang to handle the situation. General Manager Yang, with sweaty palms, hurriedly urged a group of female hosts to follow Chenyu: "Ninth Master, just a minor hiccup, let’s head to the studio and check it out."
Chenyu, having lost his patience, glanced at his watch and turned to walk straight out of the lobby.
The Ninth Master was leaving!
Boss Liu was so frightened his lips trembled, his mind in turmoil, and he quickly chased after him: "Ninth Master, I..."
Who would dare to stop the Ninth Master from leaving?
Just as Chenyu was about to exit Galaxy Anime, someone actually rushed forward to block his path—it was Hee Siman!
"Ninth Master, there's a fire in the storage room, and Yao might still be in there..."
