Chapter 219 Food Story
The assistant was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? You don't want the money anymore? What are you going to do?"
Zhuge Song, however, showed no intention of backing down, but continued to keep most of his gaze on Qing Yatou.
Xu Youyou shook her head: "Can you ask her for advice at any time? This matter requires her consent. I can't make the decision."
The green girl said, "I cook as I please, and I don't know how to teach others."
Zhuge Song did not force it, but said: "A good student will find his own way to study."
Hearing this, Qing Yatou turned to Xu Youyou and said, "Sister Youyou, you can agree to him."
Zhuge Song breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since she agreed, you can bargain now."
The assistant was so anxious that she kept calling him "brother," fearing that Zhuge Song would suffer a loss. "Brother, Miss Xu didn't even mention it, why are you lowering yourself?"
Zhuge Song glanced at him and said, "This is the condition I agreed with her in advance, and she should comply."
Seeing that the assistant seemed to be about to explode again, Xu Youyou didn't continue to keep her in suspense and said directly: "If you keep your promise, I will not change my conditions. After all, it wasn't me who persuaded the little girl."
The assistant spoke up first, "Ms. Xu is so generous! We've found the right person!"
As for how to choose between the two contract terms, Zhuge Song didn't bother to care and just threw it to the assistant: "Just choose it. If there are no problems, I will sign it."
Xu Youyou was amazed at how casually he decided on his agency contract. She felt that it was a good thing that the assistant was a good person, otherwise Zhuge Song would have been sold out several times.
Zhuge Song got the contract so easily.
Subsequently, the system refreshed the task rewards.
Perhaps because this time's task of picking up leaks was particularly simple, the rewards obtained were also quite perfunctory, and Xu Youyou was only rewarded with five training courses.
Xu Youyou threw all the training hours into the jade.
Zhuge Song and Qing Yatou jointly filmed three food videos. The first one was themed on mushrooms, and the representative ingredient was black truffle.
The second issue is dried fruits, and chestnuts are the representative ingredients.
The third issue is vegetables, and spinach is the representative ingredient.
The first video that was released immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
"Are my eyes blurry? Why is the goddess collaborating with a violent demon? Isn't she afraid of a sudden blow from Zhuge's fist?"
"I unfollowed him. I thought I had found a treasure blogger, but I didn't expect he was just a money-making scumbag who actually endorsed such a scumbag."
"Qingqing is still too young. She has been tricked by others."
At a glance, the comments section of the video was filled with curses, with only a few comments here and there saying, "Am I the only one who thinks they are particularly pleasing to watch when cooking together?"
As soon as such honest comments appeared, they were accused of being water army by angry viewers.
Qing Yatou's operations manager also immediately fed back the investigation results to Xu Youyou.
"Boss, the company's Internet department checked and found that 80% of the viewers who posted radical comments in the comment section are fans of other food bloggers, and half of them are fans of Chef Liu."
Xu Youyou already knew that the Internet was a complex field, and that the track of self-media bloggers was extremely competitive. Seeing this result, she couldn't help but think that it didn't seem to be much different from the entertainment industry.
"How are you going to deal with this?" Xu Youyou asked.
The operations manager also knew that Xu Youyou had signed Zhuge Song, and because the two bloggers lived very close to each other, their operations teams overlapped.
"I also asked Zhuge Song and tried to clear his name, but the investigation turned up nothing, and he wasn't willing to explain what happened back then."
Xu Youyou frowned slightly. Zhuge Song, the person involved, didn't want to explain, and there was nothing others could do.
Xu Youyou didn't make things difficult for his subordinates: "If that's the case, let's just deal with it calmly for now."
The operations manager hesitated, then finally spoke up. "If he refuses to explain and lets the comments section fester, I'm afraid it will affect Qingqing. Qingqing has already lost 20,000 followers in the past half day. Can we hold off on releasing the remaining two collaborative videos?"
Qing Yatou's fan count was real, without any inflated number. It dropped by 20,000 at once, and the operations manager was naturally heartbroken. He didn't think Zhuge Song had any particularly high commercial value, and at this time he just wanted to do his best to protect Qing Yatou.
Xu Youyou, however, firmly believed in the system's choice and said, "No, let's release it as planned. Don't worry too much, maybe things will turn around."
Since the boss had said this, the operations manager had no choice but to release the second joint video two days later.
Such a stubborn move naturally caused a huge uproar, and the fans who had originally firmly supported Qing Yatou could no longer sit still.
"I really like Qingqing and think she is a breath of fresh air in the self-media industry. She has never released any advertisements since she started filming the videos. I thought I would always firmly support Qingqing, but now I really can't hold on any longer."
"Did Zhuge Song put a curse on Qingqing? Or are they in a relationship? Why do you have to help this scumbag?"
Along with these disappointing remarks came an avalanche-like loss of followers.
The operations manager was heartbroken. The fanbase had dropped by 150,000 in just two videos, and the rate of fan loss showed no sign of stopping.
Black Cat Fatty, a female food blogger who originally regarded Qing Yatou as her biggest enemy, couldn't help but smile when she saw this scene.
"Miss, Chef Liu's contact said that he wants to shoot a joint video with you." said the Black Cat Fat's assistant.
Although Black Cat Pangpang is known for her friendliness on the Internet, she actually has a bad temper. She requires all staff to call her "Miss" and use honorifics to address her in daily life.
At this point in time, Chef Liu asked for a collaboration, and Black Cat Fatty naturally understood his intention and readily agreed.
In order to catch the attention, the two of them worked hard, shooting a joint video in the shortest time possible, and then worked overtime to edit it into a film.
The release time set by the two was also very clever, just in time for the release of Qing Yatou's third joint video.
"Old-fashioned food bloggers like Black Cat are trustworthy. They won't backstab their fans and hang out with scum." Fat Black Cat's fans praised their host highly.
Chef Liu's fans were also jumping up and down: "Our chef has good taste. The atmosphere when cooking with Black Cat Fatty is really good. It's as warm as a father and daughter."
But their happiness didn't last long, as a post suddenly appeared on the Internet.
"Chef Liu loves cooking, do you really know the food stories behind him?"
In less than an hour, the post became a hot topic.
