Chapter 6 — Fired in the middle of a livestream, a year later I made the whole company go bankrupt

The other end of the line was silent for five seconds. Then Phuong Chinh Vien gritted his teeth.

"Don't be so quick to get complacent."

"A platform as small as Tinh Ha..."

"I give it six months at most..."

I interrupted.

"Mr. Phuong."

"The trial for my lawyer's case will open next Monday."

"Compensation of 2,000,000 yuan."

"Please get ready."

"And the lawyer's letter demanding 3,000,000 yuan in compensation..."

"I have already counterclaimed."

"If you continue to make harassing calls."

"I would add a claim for emotional damages."

I hung up. From start to finish. My fingers didn't shake once. Right after that... I pulled his number into the block list. The first month after joining Tinh Ha, I did not appear in public at all. No livestreaming. No pictures. Also did not accept any interviews. I spend all my time building the system. Start from zero. Manually establish a set of content hierarchy standards for the platform, a streamer evaluation mechanism, and a brand adoption process. Tong Di Tham gave me full authority to make decisions. A core team of eight people worked with me to build everything from the ground up. I brought back two old associates. Tieu Lam has worked as a livestream assistant with me for many years, and was appointed by me as Head of Streamer Operations. There is also Duong Thien, who was in charge of connecting Khau Thi Dai's brand. I invited her to join Tinh Ha as Brand Commercial Director. The team quickly got into gear. During the day, meetings are held to discuss plans. At night, monitor the data and continuously optimize the mechanism. We worked overtime continuously for twenty days. To the point where Do Do could barely see his mother anymore. But the results... Totally worth it. In just one month. The number of brands joining the Tinh Ha platform increased by 40%. There are 12 more first-class cosmetic brands officially signing cooperation. Tong Di Tham met with me once. He has never been late. Never said an unnecessary word. Each meeting revolves around just a few sentences.

"How's the progress?"

"Is there anything you need my assistance with?"

"If there are no more problems, continue."

So concise... Just like a machine. There was one exception. That day after the meeting. I just stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly called.

"Co Niem So."

He looked up from the documents.

"Last time you talked about picking up Do Do after school."

"If the school needs a fixed pick-up time..."

"You can adjust the meeting schedule."

"My team will help you make arrangements."

I was momentarily stunned. How do you know this? It seems... I just accidentally mentioned it once during the team party. At that time, I just casually said that I had been working too much lately and couldn't pick up my child in time.

"Thank you."

He just nodded. Then bend down to continue viewing the document. It's like just casually saying something that's not worth worrying about. I walked out of the meeting room. Instinctively turned his head to look at the closed glass door. But then I didn't think much. Continue back to work. Day forty since I joined Tinh Ha. An industry news quickly spread throughout the livestream world. Tinh Dieu Media announced a heavy loss in its third quarter financial report. Total loss... Up to 70,000,000 yuan. The biggest reason... A series of key brands simultaneously withdrew. Khau Thi Dai left. Two brands Previously, I was in charge of the international... Bich Duyet of France. And Japanese Andragon Flower. Also in the same week, it announced the termination of cooperation. The reason is almost identical. They have lost confidence in the streamer quality and operating capacity of Tinh Dieu Media. To put it bluntly... After Co Niem So left. No one believes you can handle those brands anymore. Tham Kha took over all my previous livestream schedules. Broadcasting six sessions continuously. Best results. GMV only reached 3,000,000 yuan. While before. Any of my livestreams... The floor level must be 50,000,000 yuan or more. Someone in the industry chat group took a screenshot of Tham Kha's livestream room and posted it. Number of online viewers: 12,000. The caption below is just one sentence.

"Top streamers don't just have to have relationships."

Below... are a series of laughing icons. I do not participate in comments. But if I say I don't feel happy... I'd be lying. That afternoon. I received an unexpected phone call. Is Phuong Chinh Vien's secretary. Deputy General Director of Tinh Dieu Media.

"Hello Miss Co."

"Mr. Phuong wants to make an appointment with you to discuss some cooperation issues."

I thought I heard wrong.

"What cooperation?"

"Mr. Phuong said..."

"It is a resource cooperation between Tinh Ha platform and Tinh Dieu Media."

I leaned back in the chair. Laughed softly. A month ago. It was he who called me to threaten me. One month later. I had to send a secretary to invite me to discuss cooperation. In the business world. There are no enemies forever. Only benefits forever. I calmly replied.

"I'd like you to pass on the message for Mr. Phuong."

"Tinh Ha's brand acceptance standards are very high."

"And now..."

"Tinh Dieu Media."

"Not qualified to cooperate with us."

I hung up. Really comfortable.
