“Y-God, you are our guarantee of popularity. I would like to use you to bring in recognition for Panda,” said Song Qian. Met with silence on Ye Lingchen’s end, he continued, “Now that everyone knows that you’ve been banned, and Huyu’s actions triggered public dissent, if the news of you taking over Panda were to spread, it would cause quite a stir.”

“After that, all we need to do is to operate smoothly and maintain our popularity.”

Although Song Qian made it sound simple, the execution was challenging. First of all was to promote the brand, then to operate smoothly. Which of those two were ever easy?

At the moment he could only think of a rough framework. After all, he was just providing suggestions and was not the decision-maker. He needed to see Ye Lingchen’s attitude toward this.

“Your plan is workable!” Ye Lingchen started with an affirmation, then said, “Let’s spread the news of my takeover at Panda Streaming tonight. Furthermore, add on another piece of information that I’ll be live streaming tomorrow!”

“Live streaming tomorrow?”

Song Qian was taken aback. He could not help but ask in a trembling voice, “Y-God, would that be a little impatient?”

At the moment, streaming platforms were already in a difficult spot. Panda had just been purchased and should be in the early stages of stabilizing its operations. Y-God was undoubtedly the core of that stabilization. At times like this, it would be best to bank on the sense of mystery and suspense.

In other words, Y-God should not do a livestream this early. He should instead start it when he has another piece of promising work.

“You…have work ready?”

“My work is ready. Just do as I say!” Ye Lingchen said calmly. He paused for a moment before continuing, “Right, start by registering Y-God to the platform!”

Ending the call, Ye Lingchen then completed his updates for the day before going to bed.

2am in the morning…

That was the time where most night owls were at their most active. A lot of trending topics hit their peak during those times, then carried on until the next day.

Right then, a piece of news sneakily began to blossom explosively

Little Zhu was a blogger. One of his favorite pastimes was to surf Weibo. He would try to grab hold of a piece of explosive news, then share it off to leech off its popularity. With that, he had already managed to gain a following of over 200 thousand followers on Weibo.

That night, he was looking through posts as usual. It was then that one particular post appeared before him.

[Y-God might have bought over Panda Streaming!?]

Below the post were some text and photos that seemed legit.

According to one of the higher-ups in Panda Streaming, a mysterious rich guy offered tens of millions to purchase Panda Streaming, saving Panda Streaming from its death. According to an anonymous tip, that mysterious rich guy was Y-God!

Streaming, Y-God, purchase!

These three keywords caused Little Zhu’s face to flush with excitement, his blood boiling with passion.

He even silently shouted in his mind “F*ck!” three times! ‘This will be a hit! It will definitely be a hit!”

Headlines! He might even make the headlines by riding on this Weibo update!

He immediately shared that Weibo update and added some rousing words to it just to make it as eye-catching as possible.

After that, he tagged all those within his team on Weibo.

As a blogger, he had his own team. Although it was not comparable to those operated professionally, it was still very effective.

Following that, he took out his phone and eagerly made a phone call!

“Hey, Butterfly, get up! Big news, explosive news! Our rise to fame depends on this! Get to work now!” Little Zhu screamed all the way impatiently.

Every second counted online. A piece of news could go viral in an instant!

“What news is it that got you this excited?” Butterfly asked dreamily.

“Y-God bought over Panda!”

“What?!” Butterfly snapped awake immediately and almost jumped off the bed. “Y-God’s finally making a move? He even bought over Panda?! WTF!”

“Enough with your WTF! Get to work now!”

Following that, he made more calls.

“Wild Boar, get up and work. This time we’re jumping onto the bandwagon. It’ll be a hit!”

The next day…

Weibo’s hot search had gone nuts. The news of Y-God buying over Panda had reached the top, turning into the top searched news!

In merely one night, the comment section had exceeded 100 thousand comments!

[F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!]

[Previous post, why are you copying my words?]

[Other than “F*ck!”, I don’t know any other words to express myself.]

[Y-God is amazing. Y-God for the win!]

[Is this news for real? Y-God was being picked on by Huyu, and now he bought over a streaming platform to compete with Huyu?]

[I’m finally hearing news from Y-God again. I look forward to the new work, I’ll support you!]

[Ahhh! As expected of my prince charming, buying over a company just like that!]

[Junior girl looking for a friend, 60*****.]

When Ye Lingchen arrived in school, the atmosphere was lively along the way. A lot of students seemed excited.

“Have you read the news on Weibo? It’s such big news!”

“Of course I’ve read it! I had trouble sleeping yesterday and saw it first. At first, I thought it was just some rumors. I didn’t expect it to be such a hit this morning!”

“Nonsense. That’s Y-God. How can it not be a hit!”

“I didn’t expect Y-God to be that rich, buying over Panda on a whim. Fearsome!”

“Do you think Y-God can beat Huyu Streaming after buying over Panda Streaming?”

“Of course he can! He’s Y!”

All the way to his class, those discussions kept floating by Ye Lingchen’s ears.

After entering the class, his classmates were even more excited. Boys and girls alike, all their discussions did not steer far from Y-God!

The Little Gen trio were holding their phones discussing the topic enthusiastically in front of Ye Lingchen.

“Ye’zi, Y-God is making a move! Moreover, he’s going big, buying over Panda Streaming!”

“I knew it. All the Ys are not simple. I have a feeling that Y-God’s counterattack is coming soon!”

“Another Streaming Platform. Y-God has his aim on Huyu now!”

The impact of the news went beyond Ye Lingchen’s imagination, and it seemed to be getting out of control.

However, the reason for it to cause such a stir was because of Y’s influence. Nowadays, anything that touches Y would attract a lot of attention from the masses. Apart from that, Y-God accumulated quite a number of listeners. Add to that Y-God’s persecution, and later banned by Huyu had many people sympathizing with Y-God. Most importantly was Panda Streaming’s possibility to compete with Huyu!

Watching a drama from the sidelines never got in the way of important matters. With both the streaming platform turning into mortal enemies, it naturally stirred debates from the masses.

Ring ring ring!

Only

Finally, Coold could not hold back any longer and gave Ye Lingchen a call.

“Y-God, is the news about you buying over Panda Streaming true?”

“Hehe, it’s true.”

Coold breathed in a mouthful of cold air. “I didn’t expect you to be so…rich.”

“So, would the great host Coold be willing to come over to my platform for a spin?” Ye Lingchen asked with a laugh.

“Sure. How’s the benefits?”

That did not play out as Ye Lingchen imagined. Coold agreed quickly with a laugh…
