Chapter 217 President Xie
Luo Yanran started her internship on the third day of summer vacation.
At that time, they had just moved to a new apartment complex, and in the end, the two of them rented a slightly larger place.
Yes, a three-bedroom with a living room.
After all, Xie Xiao sometimes had a lot of work to handle, and Luo Yanran guessed she would have many documents to review with the start of her internship.
To avoid disturbing each other during busy times, they each had a separate study.
Xie Xiao had also started going back to the office.
Actually, Xie Xiao seldom went back, Qi Yan was mainly the one stationed in the office, but everyone knew the company had two bosses.
Though the company was up and running, it was not very large in scale. After all, live streamers didn't work in an office, so altogether, there were only about a dozen employees.
Qi Yan meant that as there were more and more streamers, they needed to hire more people soon.
Today was Monday, and when Xie Xiao walked into the company, the receptionist was momentarily startled before she stood up, "Mr. Xie, good morning."
Xie Xiao still wasn't used to being addressed like this.
But since it was what Qi Yan had requested, he just smiled and said, "Good morning."
After greeting the early birds in the office, Xie Xiao entered his own office.
He had been sitting for less than ten minutes when Qi Yan arrived.
"Yo yo yo, what brings the rare visitor to the company?" Qi Yan said as he closed the door behind him.
Xie Xiao replied with a smile, "My wife started work today, so after dropping her off, I swung by here."
Qi Yan, thinking Xie Xiao had finally shown some conscience: ...
He said helplessly, "No, I mean, can't you come to the office more often? They all think you're so mysterious."
Xie Xiao stood up and joined him on the sofa, his voice cheerful, "Isn't that what you're here for? You know that my focus isn't entirely here right now."
Indeed, relying on his memories from his past life and his professional knowledge, Xie Xiao had been mostly concentrating on investment opportunities.
How to put it, he had made quite a bit of money over the past two years.
Recently, he had been considering an investment project that was very impressive in his previous life. However, Xie Xiao was a cautious person who didn't solely rely on his past memories.
Since his own rebirth was an uncertainty, he was still analyzing and observing.
Qi Yan knew this about him, and looking at Xie Xiao's eyes, he expressed admiration, "If you were my dad's son, he'd wake up laughing from his dreams."
Xie Xiao chuckled, "Come off it, if Uncle Qi hears you, he'll smack you again."
Qi Yan sighed, "There isn't a day he doesn't feel like hitting me..."
After chatting for a while, Qi Yan said, "How about having dinner together tonight? Some of the major streamers are coming in to talk about contract renewals, maybe discuss it over a meal?"
It was Luo Yanran's first day reporting for duty, and there was a high chance she would attend a welcome dinner in the evening.
Xie Xiao hesitated, but then said, "Let me ask my wife if she's coming back for dinner tonight."
Qi Yan was resigned, "Why is everyone so whipped by their wives."
"Mm-hmm, single dogs shouldn't bark," Xie Xiao said, smugly arching his brow at him.
Qi Yan let out a tsk, "I'm not talking to you anymore, let me know after you've asked your sister-in-law."
Xie Xiao agreed with a laugh.
As he anticipated, Luo Yanran was going out to eat with the seniors from the law firm that evening, and a whole group of interns were joining them.
Xie Xiao agreed, and after getting the details of where she would be eating, he sent the information to Qi Yan to see if they could dine there.
Qi Yan was nearly at a loss for words but still changed the dinner location—it was another fine restaurant, after all.
Xie Xiao planned to eat and perhaps even pick up his wife afterwards.
In the afternoon, Xie Xiao saw the four streamers who had come to renew their contracts.
```
One is a livestreamer who rose to fame by playing games, a little couple, walking a path somewhat similar to the lovey-dovey account Xie Xiao had with Luo Yanran before. However, he didn't really keep it up later, and this little couple picked it up and now they are also livestreamers with nearly ten million followers.
Another is from the dance area, also a big livestreamer, cough cough, just a bit edgy.
All four of them were stunned when they saw Xie Xiao come in.
At first, they all thought Xie Xiao had signed with this company too.
After all, it was Qi Yan who previously came to sign contracts with them, and few people knew that Xie Xiao was the owner of this company.
It was always Qi Yan who made public appearances.
The little couple's male is named An Zhe, of course, that's not his real name, his real name is Chen An, as for the girl, she is called Han Ranran, born Liu Ying. This name was once torn apart by fans because everyone knows that Xie Xiao calls Luo Yanran, "Ranran."
The key is that their personal brand is also copied from Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's.
They always claim to be an academic couple studying abroad, as to whether it's true or not, Xie Xiao is very clear.
It's not true, An Zhe even didn't attend college, Han Ranran actually got into a community college.
But it seems that she also left school for self-media and stopped going.
Occasionally, the two fly to a university in South Korea to shoot some videos and then return, and they really made their video content take off.
Because actually both of them are quite good-looking.
Who doesn't like to watch a pretty couple that's been packaged and marketed?
At this moment, the two were discontent as they saw Xie Xiao following behind Qi Yan alone, even though Xie Xiao's account didn't have as many followers as theirs.
But comparison is the thief of joy, and they had started by imitating Xie Xiao's account.
Even though they now had more followers than Xie Xiao's account, it still wasn't a pleasant sight for them.
Especially since Xie Xiao looked as handsome as he did in his videos, while they used filters - they were far from looking as good in real life as they did online.
Seeing Xie Xiao naturally made them feel somewhat unhappy inside.
However, Xie Xiao had talked with Qi Yan before, and of these three accounts, An Zhe's involved too many lies and they likely would have an easy time crashing and burning down the line.
The risk was rather high.
Actually, Qi Yan wasn't really keen on renewing their contract.
After all, aside from their faces, nothing in their marketing package was real,
and they had previously taken some unlicensed product endorsements behind the company's back.
Promoting these in the fan groups.
When the company questioned this, Han Ranran defended it as sharing, not advertising.
In any case, they were constantly testing the limits.
After hearing the reports, Qi Yan had no plans to renew the contract.
So when they proposed the division of contract profits, he still refused.
That's why they came looking for him.
As for the other two, there were no problems, they followed the rules well, and had strong fan loyalty.
Their contracts could be renewed.
After Qi Yan entered, he introduced them, "This is Xie Xiao, not sure if you recognize him, he also has an account. But this guy has another identity; just call him 'Boss Xie,' that'll do."
Xie Xiao smiled and waved his hand, "Don't do that, just call me Xie Xiao. We are all about the same age, it's quite embarrassing for you to address me like that. I'm not like some people who are so full of themselves."
This was a joke.
Sure enough, as soon as he made a joke, everyone's atmosphere relaxed a bit.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Han Ranran's eyes lit up for a moment, she hadn't expected Xie Xiao to be the boss.
Although she and An Zhe were indeed a couple, the conflicts between them over the years were not few.
