Perhaps because this little white cat appeared, there were no more beast invasions. It was like a lucky charm. This was for the best, as there was less fighting. Lin Guanqi didn’t have to keep killing just to gain fans.
Besides, he wasn’t good at the fighting part anyway. He would always remember how the beasts tormented and beat him, so it was best that nothing similar happened again. A period of peace was good.
“This little white cat always feels a bit strange, but whatever, since everyone likes it.”
Ever since the white cat was born, he felt it was highly abnormal. He always felt like a pair of eyes was staring at him from behind.
It wasn’t just a feeling; it was a very specific intuition. It felt as if a pair of eyes was following his every move, watching whatever he did or thought about doing. He could picture those clean, clear eyes, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find the person. ‘Could it be that I’ve really been too tired lately? That’s why I’m having these thoughts. No, I can’t fall ill. I’ve earned so much money but haven’t enjoyed it yet. If I suddenly got a disease and dropped dead, wouldn’t that be a shame? I haven’t even spent one cent of it yet. I haven’t even bought luxury cars or mansions.’
“No, no, no, I must be too tired. I’m hallucinating. Never mind, I should stop being so busy with the company and take a break.”
Oh, he said that, but in reality, his hands didn’t stop moving.
After all, he was a company president. He had many things to review, such as whether to continue a contract, whether to cooperate with a specific company, and whether to hire certain people. Then there was how to proceed with the next step of development. All sorts of things required his judgment as the company head; otherwise, the grassroots employees wouldn’t be able to make the decisions.
“I want to rest!”

News: “As we know, the live streaming industry has become a rising star. Currently, it has begun to diversify, helping many people with employment difficulties and becoming a new entertainment sector. Moreover, many streamers have started earning money and opening their own studios. It can be described as a new industry and a new trend, driving the national economic cycle. It truly is an excellent competitive track.”
The live streaming industry had been in the reports for nearly one week straight. Because of the endless new niches within it, the news outlets couldn’t keep up with the reporting. Their schedules were packed. Basically, they just had to visit a new live streaming sector every day, as it truly was profitable.
“Mr. Lin, may we ask how you discovered this track back then? And how did you know why this track would be so successful?”
Indeed, reporters were now at his door, asking him for the secret to this track. They wanted to know why it became so popular. However, Lin Guanqi was no fool. He knew that if he didn’t say something, there would be more trouble in the future. It was better to tell them; it wasn’t a secret anyway.
“Oh, you’ve misunderstood. This really was just a chance discovery. After all, everyone has moments of sudden inspiration. I just had an epiphany and suddenly realized this track might work. You’re really overestimating me.”
To have achieved such success and then claim to have no talent, calling it just an epiphany—who would believe that? The people who painstakingly researched entrepreneurship would probably die of low self-esteem. Someone else creates something on a whim, and it becomes a massive hit and a new sector. It was enviable. Calling it a sudden inspiration or a random thought—was that fair?
“Your words will make many people envious. However, your epiphany came at the perfect time. After all, there’s a serious shortage of jobs right now. This move of yours has relieved a lot of pressure.”
It seemed that no matter how he explained, it was useless. They appeared to have made up their minds, so anything he said would be futile. It was better to just accept the credit; it was beneficial to him anyway. Even if he didn’t accept it, the achievement would still be attributed to him. That wouldn’t change. Besides, it wasn’t a bad thing.
“Since my actions can help everyone, I feel that I have indeed made a contribution to society. After all, some people only seek profit, but I won’t be like that. The reason is simple: I want everyone to at least be able to keep themselves fed and clothed.”
These words made other entrepreneurs feel ashamed. After all, if it were them, they wouldn’t be so generous. They would at least squeeze out quite a bit of profit. Thus, everyone, including the reporters, felt that Lin Guanqi had provided many employment opportunities.
And for people today, these jobs were undoubtedly the best. Lin Guanqi and Bai Ningbing were pushed to the forefront of public opinion in an instant. Of course, this was good news for them, not a wave of rumors. Their charitable deeds were essential in everyone’s eyes. Therefore, no one would use rumors to strike down the company. If they did, they would face their own unemployment. If they didn’t want to lose their jobs, all they could do was uncover the truth of the matter so as not to wrongly accuse anyone.
“The live streaming industry is a beneficial industry for everyone because it provides many employment opportunities. For example, behind a streamer, there is an operation team, and in front of operations, there are various positions like customer service. This has likely led to the derivation of five different types of roles, which is a very positive thing for the public.”
Almost all the news reports were about this now. However, the public never grew tired of hearing it. Moreover, as long as the news reported on this, they could gain a lot of traffic. The reason was simple: they couldn’t relate to the things reported in the news before, and those things felt meaningless. But this time, it was something the common people could actually do. For example, in the live streaming industry, as long as they felt a job wasn’t suitable, they could consider live streaming, provided they had the idea.
Furthermore, trying it didn’t hurt. If they discovered they were truly suited for being a streamer, the profits would be enormous. Such a project could not be stopped.
“According to our understanding, the operations sector has begun to show various specializations, such as e-commerce operations, entertainment operations, and account management operations. However, these industries are mostly facing the new development of new media.”
“It seems everyone is very enthusiastic about this project. After all, the television station’s ratings have recently hit a new record high.”
How could they not be enthusiastic? These so-called issues were things they were facing themselves.
