Chapter 20: Eyes Full of Light

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Why don’t you try lighting a cigarette?”

At this moment, Brother Monkey seemed to realize that his sponsor was not simple.

This ability and reaction speed were definitely not something that ordinary people could possess.

Nowadays, all the major platforms strictly prohibit streamers from showing any objectionable images in their live broadcast rooms. They would be given a warning if it was light, and the live broadcast rooms would be banned if it was serious.

Even though he could find the officials, Zhou Tianhao was right. It was useless for him to go on stage personally.

They could only find people who everyone agreed with to deal with this matter.

And the supervisors who wandered around the live streaming rooms were the best candidates!

After thinking through all of this, Brother Monkey was filled with admiration for Zhou Tianhao.

As long as the officials proved his innocence, his fans and popularity in the live stream would definitely soar in the future!

As expected, the live stream was still silent, but its popularity increased. Zhou Tianhao felt as if he could see mouths harder than rocks waiting for him to pry them open…

“I’ll go get the cigarettes now!”

Brother Monkey reacted and quickly ran to the staff area. He didn’t smoke himself, but two of his employees were chain smokers. There must be cigarettes in the work area.

He ran over and found a pack of cigarettes near the ashtray next to the computer. Before the employees could react, he snatched the cigarettes and ran back to the camera.

“Here it is. The cigarettes are here.”

“Light it.”

“Alright.”

Brother Monkey took the cigarette and lighter and lit it up.

Even though he didn’t smoke, he still pretended to be an old dude smoking pipe and had a look of enjoyment on his face. However, as soon as he took a puff, he immediately started coughing violently.

“F*ck! It’s choking me! Second-hand smoke is better…”

Brother Monkey’s actions had already been broadcast through the livestream. Now, all they had to do was wait for the arrival of the supervisor.

Sure enough, less than a minute after the smoking Brother Monkey appeared on the screen, a red eye-catching word immediately appeared on the bullet screen.

“Warning, no smoking is allowed in the live broadcast room. This warning will deduct 2 points from the live broadcast room. If you have less than 5 points, the live broadcast room will be banned.”

Every streamer’s live broadcast room had a fixed number of points, just like driving license points.

If the host violated the rules, their points would be deducted. In serious cases, supervisors could even directly deduct all their points and ban the live broadcast room.

Smoking was the lowest punishment.

“I’m here, Supervisor. I have something to ask you. It involves copyright.”

When Brother Monkey saw the supervisor appear, he directly extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can to express his attitude.

The supervisor was stunned.

However, when he heard that the matter involved copyright, he immediately took it seriously. The company might lose money on copyright.

“What is it?”

As soon as the supervisor spoke, Brother Monkey immediately told him everything.

“You want me to be a witness?”

After a long time, the supervisor finally understood the whole story.

This matter involved the commercial secrets of the motherboards. If Brother Monkey really caused trouble, he would definitely deal with it seriously.

It was fine if he didn’t know, but if he knew, he wouldn’t let it go. Unless he didn’t want to work anymore.

The job of a supervisor was quite good. The salary was high, the benefits were good, and most importantly, he had the power of life and death.

This power of life and death meant that if he saw something indescribable in a live broadcast room, he could feast his eyes on it and then ban the live broadcast room, so that others couldn’t see it. It was a satisfying aspect of his job.

If he didn’t get a better job, he wouldn’t want to lose it.

Therefore, the supervisor typed.

“Alright. Send me the model of the motherboard. I’ll check it out.”

“No problem.”

Brother Monkey opened the backstage and found the official news channel. He sent the model of the motherboards over.

As for the outcome, he did not have to worry at all. He knew this better than anyone else.

If Zhou Tianhao hadn’t asked him to prove it himself, he wouldn’t have to deal with this matter through the supervisor.

Therefore, after the supervisor received the news, he alerted his superior and sent the model of the motherboards that had not yet been released to the market.

The higher-ups attached great importance to this. Those who could manufacture motherboards were basically large companies. Such companies were powerful, and the price they had to bear if something went wrong was very high.

His superior quickly found his superior and sent the model number of the motherboard over.

Soon, the supervisor received a reply.

“This is a failed product. It doesn’t matter if it’s confidential or not.”

Upon seeing this, the supervisor heaved a sigh of relief and returned to the live broadcast room again. He typed.

“There’s no problem with the motherboard. There’s no copyright dispute.”

Zhou Tianhao immediately asked, “You guys were screaming so loudly just now. What about now? Can someone show me some evidence to refute the supervisor?”

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

“The last step, I’ll transfer the money to you now.”

Then, under everyone’s gaze, Zhou Tianhao scanned Brother Monkey’s QR code and entered 86000 yuan.

There was a beep.

Enter the password.

The sound of gold coins falling into the wallet rang out. A familiar voice came from Brother Monkey’s phone.

“86,000 yuan received on WeChat. Thank you.”

At this point, the situation had completely reversed. No one suspected that he and Brother Monkey were staging a play.

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

“Pa! Face Slapping Points +1!”

The seemingly quiet comments earned Zhou Tianhao more than 3,000 Face Slapping Points.

Adding on the six thousand plus points from before, it was exactly ten thousand Face Slapping Points, a total of ten lottery chances!

Now that things had come to this, there was no need to prove anything else.

The supervisor had spoken, and the bullet screen had agreed. Now that the supervisor was on their side, it was very clear whether the matter was true or not.

“F*ck, the supervisor is also dragging things out. This is all part of your show!”

“That’s right, it’s just a script!”

“How can there be such a coincidence? It must be fake!”

A few bullet comments were still stubborn, but they could no longer affect anyone.

The matter was settled, and the live broadcast ended. Brother Monkey turned off the live broadcast.

“Brother, should I send you back now?”

Brother Monkey turned off his computer and looked at the money on his phone. He was in a particularly good mood.

“No need. I can take a taxi back myself. I won’t trouble you.”

Zhou Tianhao rejected Brother Monkey’s good intentions. After all, he had received such a huge amount of Face Slapping Points from the viewers in the livestream. He did not want to trouble them anymore.

“How can that do?”

Brother Monkey wanted to insist that he would drive him home, but Zhou Tianhao rejected him again.

Next, Brother Monkey packed the computer tightly and tied a rope around it so that he could carry it.

Originally, Brother Monkey had offered to send it back.

But Zhou Tianhao didn’t want to do that. It was better for him to personally escort such an expensive computer.

It couldn’t be helped. This was the first big treasure in his life. He had to take good care of it.

With two monitors in his left hand and a computer in his right, Zhou Tianhao got into a cab and left Monkey’s studio.

Before he left, Brother Monkey had planned to give him a new set of peripheral equipment, but he rejected it.

He didn’t want to leave any regrets for this computer. He had also bought the best peripheral equipment, so there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to use what Brother Monkey gave him. He refused to waste it.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tianhao opened the door of the rented house with his arm and walked in with his top-notch computer that was worth 80,000 yuan.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with light.
