Chapter 7 — Fired in the middle of a livestream, a year later I made the whole company go bankrupt

On the first day Tinh Ha officially deployed the new version of the content system. Traffic broke all previous records. The number of daily active users skyrocketed from 8,000,000 to 15,000,000. Brands lined up waiting to join the platform. The partner development (BD) team was so busy that they didn't have time to have lunch. That day, Tong Di Tham broke the rules for the first time and sent a message to the work group.

"Thank you content team for your hard work."

Immediately after that was a red envelope worth 666 yuan. Eight people in the group split up to snatch it all. Duong Thien immediately texted back.

"Mr. Tong, this is not enough for a hot pot meal for the whole team."

Tong Di Tham answered in two simple words.

"Payment company."

The whole group immediately burst into laughter. Tinh Ha's atmosphere is always very good. Fast progress. Great pressure. But not stuffy. Four years at Tinh Dieu Media... I have never experienced that feeling. In Tinh Dieu. I'm just a tool to make money. Also in Tinh Ha. I am a companion. The biggest difference lies in just one thing. Someone... Really sees you as a human being. That evening. I worked overtime until ten o'clock. Be the last person to walk out of the office. Go to the elevator door. Tong Di Tham is also waiting. In his hand was a cup of coffee that had cooled a long time ago. Shirt sleeves are rolled up to the elbow. See me. He just nodded slightly.

"Still not back yet?"

"I just finished finalizing next month's brand cooperation schedule."

Right at that moment. The elevator opens. We walked in one by one. The space was silent for a few seconds. He spoke up.

"There's something I need to tell you in advance."

"I'm listening."

His eyes were still looking at the constantly changing floor numbers.

"Next week Tinh Ha will hold a meeting to announce a new capital round."

"At that time..."

"I need you to present your content strategy."

"No problem."

He nodded slightly.

"Also..."

He tilted his head and looked at me.

"At the announcement..."

"There will likely be people from Tinh Dieu Media."

I looked at him.

"What do you mean?"

"In Khai Minh's LP group, there is an investment fund that has a very close relationship with Phuong Chinh Vien."

"The meeting guest list is public."

"Can't stop them from coming."

I immediately understood.

"What do you mean..."

"Will Phuong Chinh Vien be present?"

"The possibility is very high."

Right at that moment. The elevator goes down to the first floor. Tong Di Tham walked out. Then turned around and looked at me.

"Are you shy?"

I shook my head.

"Let him come."

The capital call announcement was held on Friday. The location is a five-star hotel located next to the Bund. The banquet room can accommodate more than 300 guests. I looked over the guest list. Half of the investor community was present. There are also media reporters. Representing brands. Along with many industry analysts. My presentation was ranked second. Right after Tong Di Tham's opening speech.

"The core logic of Tinh Ha content ecosystem and closed commercial model."

I prepared for a week. The PowerPoint was revised and revised up to seven times. This is not a livestream. Livestream... I can rely on improvisation. But standing in front of more than 300 investors to talk about strategy. Don't allow yourself to be wrong in even one detail. Two o'clock on Friday afternoon. I wore a well-tailored navy blue suit and skirt. Wait behind the stage. Duong Thien adjusted my collar for me.

"Miss Niem."

"Let's kill the entire auditorium today."

I laughed. Gently part the stage curtain. Look below. Third row of seats. Left side. Location close to the walkway. Sure enough... Phuong Chinh Vien has arrived. Sitting next to him is Tran Trac. Tham Kha wore a Chanel-style white tweed dress. On her neck she also wears a gold necklace with a logo so big it's blinding. Sitting in a chair constantly looking everywhere. Just like someone entering a high-end event for the first time. As for Phuong Chinh Vien... Still maintaining his calm expression. Cross your legs. Just rotate the fountain pen in your hand. Just appeared like he just came to watch a play. I'll let you guys watch to your heart's content. Five minutes of Tong Di Tham's opening speech ended. The applause gradually subsided. MC raised his voice.

"We would like to respectfully invite the Content Director of Tinh Ha platform..."

"Miss Co Niem So."

I pushed the curtain and walked onto the stage. Three hundred eyes simultaneously turned towards me. The moment the spotlight shines on your face. I suddenly remembered going to the livestream room more than forty days ago. It's still the same light. There are still countless eyes watching. But this time... I'm no longer the female streamer who was kicked out of the company. It's the person... Standing on stage to set the rules of the game.
