Chapter 5 — Fired in the middle of a livestream, a year later I made the whole company go bankrupt

One fifty the next afternoon. I stand under the building of Khai Minh Investment Fund. The ground-level glass windows on the 67th floor reflect the entire skyline of Pudong. I wore a white shirt, black pants, and my hair tied into a low ponytail. No heavy makeup. I didn't come to livestream today. But I came to discuss business. After the receptionist verified my identity, I was led into a small meeting room. The room is not big. But the view is extremely beautiful. An entire wall is transparent glass. Less than two minutes later. The room door was pushed open. Tong Di Tham walked in. In real life, he is even taller than in photos taken secretly online. About 1m85. He wore a dark blue shirt, without a tie. Her facial features are quite pale, not the type that surprises people at first sight. But the more I look at it, the more attractive it becomes.

"Mr. Tong."

He motioned for me to sit. I also sat down opposite. There wasn't anything on the table. Not even a glass of water. He went straight to the point.

"I say my needs first."

"Last year, Khai Minh invested in a livestream platform called Tinh Ha."

"Currently the platform has 30,000,000 users, ranking sixth in the industry."

"What we lack is not technology."

"But someone who is capable of building content standards."

I looked at him.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Content Director of Tinh Ha platform."

"Responsible for building livestream content strategy, streamer training system and cooperation model with brands."

Not... Invite me to be a streamer. Invite me to build a whole platform. I looked straight at him.

"Why me?"

Tong Di Tham responded very slowly. But every sentence and every word is very solid.

"Because..."

"You're the only person who can stand in the livestream room, just talking about the product ingredient list..."

"...which still generated 80,000,000 yuan of GMV."

"What this industry lacks is not people who know how to sell."

"But someone who understands the logic of the content."

"You belong to the second group."

I asked again.

"What about the conditions?"

"Annual salary 5,000,000 yuan."

"Includes 2% platform stock options."

"If within two years Tinh Ha is listed..."

He stopped.

"The rest..."

"I believe you can calculate it yourself."

Of course I can count. Tinh Ha's current valuation is 8,000,000,000 yuan. 2% is equivalent to 160,000,000 yuan. Even if it is diluted by half after listing... That amount... Still far exceeds what I was able to accumulate after ten years working at Tinh Dieu. I asked the most important question.

"What about the non-compete clause?"

"I've had the legal department take a look."

"Your terms are limited to MCN streamer positions."

"What about the Chief Content Officer of a platform..."

"Not within the restricted range."

"Completely legal."

He prepared very carefully. I leaned back in the chair. Think silently for about thirty seconds.

"I have one condition."

"Please keep talking."

"I need an independent team."

"Someone I chose myself."

"Not subject to any interference from the current management of the platform."

Tong Di Tham looked at me. No hesitation. I proactively reached out my hand.

"Happy cooperation."

He also reached out to shake his hand. Dry hands. Moderate force.

"Welcome to join Tinh Ha."

"Co Niem So."

The news was kept secret for three days. By the evening of the third day. One article The writing of a media account in the industry shocked the entire livestream world. The title is:

"Co Niem So joined Tinh Ha platform as Content Director, Khai Minh Foundation partner Tong Di Tham personally recruited."

The illustration is the official appointment poster announced by Tinh Ha. Above is my photo. Be sure to write clearly next to it. Director of Tinh Ha Platform Content Just ten minutes after the article was posted. My phone received over a hundred text messages. Former colleague. People in charge of brands. Even a few streamers in the same profession sent messages with jealous voices.

"Miss Niem has really gone up a level this time."

What I care about most is not those congratulations. I'm waiting for someone's reaction. Twenty minutes later. Message sent by Tran Trac.

"Co Niem So."

"Have you gone to Tinh Ha?"

"Could it be that you planned it in advance?"

"No wonder why you deliberately caused chaos in the livestream room that day."

"It turns out it was all intentional!"

I typed a few words. Then delete it again. Finally... Don't answer a single question. Explain to someone like him... What does it mean? As long as I'm not ashamed of every step I take, that's enough. Right after that. Phuong Chinh Vien called directly. This person... I don't want to listen even more. But think again. I still click accept. On the other end of the line came a low voice as if suppressing anger.

"Co Niem So."

"You did a great job."

"Because of your matter..."

"Khau Thi Dai has suspended all cooperation with us."

"In the fourth quarter alone, the company lost more than 50,000,000 yuan."

"Are you satisfied now?"

I calmly replied.

"Mr. Phuong."

"Khau Thi Dai stopped cooperating because you guys violated the previous contract."

"The contract clearly states that the exclusive streamer is me."

"You guys unilaterally terminated the labor contract with me."

"It means you guys are unilaterally breaking the agreement with the brand."

"On whose head should this debt be charged..."

"You know better in your heart than I do."
