710 Perhaps He’s an Extremely Ugly Person
Lin Yi paused for a second. “I remember who you are.”
“Let’s meet somewhere. It’s noon. We can have lunch.”
“Alright, set a place. I’ll come to find you.”
“I’m at Century Avenue. There’s a Western restaurant called LK here. Do you know it?”
“I know. Wait for me there. I’ll see you later.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi said goodbye to Shen Tianzhuo and drove to the western restaurant Li Lin mentioned. At the same time, he brought his equipment with him.
In LK Western Restaurant, Li Lin and Guo Shibo found a relatively quiet corner and waited for Lin Yi to arrive.
Li Lin could handle the signing of the contract alone.
However, they also had to discuss the possible investment, so Guo Shibo came along.
“The people from Lingyun Group are too easy to talk to.” Guo Shibo said.
“It’s not easy for us to meet their two vice presidents.”
“I didn’t expect that either,” Li Lin said.
“We came here this time to sound them out and see if they had any intention of investing. We didn’t expect them to directly invest. It’s definitely an unexpected gain.”
“With the current scale of Lingyun Group, 678 million is just a drop in the ocean for them. They can easily invest that amount.”
“That is very true,” Li Lin said.
“When we were negotiating just now, we only asked a few simple questions and then they paid. If it were any other venture capital company, it would have taken ten days to half a month to negotiate.”
Guo Shibo placed his hands behind his head. “This is the difference between a big company and us. 678 million is a huge investment for us, but to others, it’s just a small sum.”
Li Lin nodded and combed her hair. “The investment has been settled. All that’s left is to get this guy to sign the contract. If everything goes well, we might be able to go back tonight.”
“Heh…” Guo Shibo’s face was filled with disdain as he said,
“Boss Chen really thinks highly of him. He actually gave a minimum contract of five million yuan. In my opinion, he’s not worth this fee at all.”
“Can’t you let go of your prejudice at a time like this?” Li Lin said lightly.
“In my opinion, the streamer named Meng Jinyang is no match for him in any aspect. Boss Chen’s decision to sign him was the best choice.”
“Moreover, I feel that it won’t be long before he becomes a top-tier streamer on the platform. It’s definitely not the wrong decision to invest in nurturing him. Just like yesterday, he even went to the garrison area to do a live stream. Ordinary streamers can only dream of doing such a thing. I am very positive about his ability.”
“The quality of his live streams these few times is indeed very high, but I don’t believe it can continue like this.” Guo Shibo said.
“And have you ever wondered why he wears a mask and sunglasses all the time?”
“Is there a need to discuss this? Streamers nowadays are all the same. This only highlights his own characteristics and makes him unique. I’m quite a fan of this.”
“That might be possible, but it’s also possible that he’s very ugly. Could he be doing this to hide his face?” Guo Shibo said.
“When others find out what he really looks like, will so many people still like him?”
“Other than that, the top streamers on the fan rankings are all women. If they realize that he is an extremely ugly person, they will definitely stop paying attention to him. Just like that streamer called Qiao Biluo, you know how how she turned out.”
“I don’t think it’s a big problem. He’s not a good-looking streamer. He attracts people with his content. How he looks probably won’t affect his popularity much.”
“But you have to know that in this society, looks stand above all. Even men will ignore people who are not good-looking.”
“Your reasoning is far-fetched and highly subjective. I hope you can give an objective assessment of the matter.”
“I’m already very objective, so I hope that when discussing the contract, you don’t give him too high an offer.” Guo Shibo said.
“If he doesn’t agree, let him leave. There are many streamers who want to sign a contract with us. He’s not crucial. In short, I don’t think he’s that good.”
“Well, let’s wait and see.” Li Lin looked at the time.
“Be more polite later. Don’t appear so impatient. If other platforms poach him, it will be a huge loss to us.”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
After a few reminders, Li Lin looked at the time and felt that Lin Yi should be here soon.
A few minutes later, Li Lin saw Lin Yi walking over from outside and stood up to greet him.
“I’m here.”
Hearing someone call out to him, Lin Yi saw Li Lin in a blue dress. Her hair was tied up behind her head and she appeared extremely exquisite.
Lin Yi concluded that this person should be Li Lin, who had contacted him.
As for who the man beside her was, Lin Yi couldn’t care less about him.
Guo Shibo, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Lin Yi and muttered to himself,
“We’re meeting in person, yet you’re still dressed like this. All you know how to do is play tricks to attract attention.”
Li Lin glanced at Guo Shibo with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
Why did he have such deep resentment toward this guy? Wasn’t he a little too petty?
Looking at Lin Yi, Li Lin was a little puzzled.
They were already face to face, but he was still wearing a mask and sunglasses.
This seemed a bit insincere.
Lin Yi walked over and the two shook hands politely.
“Brother Mask, please take a seat.”
Lin Yi nodded and pulled a chair out to sit down.
“Brother Mask, what’s your name?”
“My surname is Lin.”
“Mr. Lin, can you take off your mask and sunglasses so that we can talk face-to-face?”
“I don’t think so. This is my personal style. I won’t easily break my own rules.”
“You aren’t streaming now, and from a certain perspective, we’re considered your bosses. Do you still need to wear masks and sunglasses?”
“Aren’t rules meant to be obeyed? Wouldn’t it be meaningless if I were to destroy them so casually?”
Li Lin frowned slightly and thought to herself,
“Could it be that Guo Shibo was right? Is he extremely ugly?”
However, looking at his temperament and hairstyle, coupled with his well-proportioned figure, even if he was ugly, he shouldn’t be that bad.
Could it be that he was disfigured?
This was a little far-fetched.
“Alright, since Mr. Lin doesn’t want to show his face, I won’t force you.” Li Lin called the waiter over. “Let’s talk over the meal.”
“It’s your treat, so you guys can do whatever you want.” Lin Yi said indifferently.
Li Lin ordered some food and brought them over. She took out the documents she had prepared from her bag and pushed them in front of Lin Yi.
“Mr. Lin, this is the contract we prepared. Please take a look.”
Lin Yi crossed his legs and flipped through the contract. He frowned slightly.
“More than 100 hours a month?”
