The Chronicles of Liu Moxi: Part 6

To his genuine surprise, Liu Dong found the eccentric couple talking with recruiters at a rather unremarkable booth. Instead of stepping forward immediately, he hid a short distance away to observe the recruiting company: Gordon City New Force Media Co., Ltd.

Liu Dong felt a bit puzzled. What did a media company actually do? Did they shoot commercials? Since he wasn't a media major, he certainly figured he had no hope!

Just as a sense of disappointment washed over him again, he saw the bizarre couple shake hands with the recruiters one by one and write something down on a piece of paper.

Slightly astonished, Liu Dong hurried forward to take a quick look—it turned out both of them had signed contracts. This left him thoroughly bewildered. Could someone work at this company without even a college degree?

Taking a closer look at the poster at the booth, he was shocked to see it boldly proclaimed: "No degree required, monthly salary over 30,000, contract term of five years or more."

Liu Dong was startled once more. He had only been out of the workforce for a little over a year, and society had already spawned such bizarre new media companies!

He could understand Little Dragon Girl being signed to shoot video commercials or work as a print model; after all, she possessed both the looks and the figure.

But what could her boyfriend, a rugged, burly "hunk," possibly do? Was he going to act as Little Dragon Girl's bodyguard? Bodyguard positions were almost always outsourced, and it certainly wouldn't fall to him!

Liu Dong's curiosity grew increasingly intense. However, wanting to avoid running into them, he deliberately retreated to a corner. After the odd couple left, he quietly approached the media company's recruitment booth and began making inquiries. A pretty young lady greeted him.

"Sir, are you here to apply?"

"Ah, um... yes, more or less..."

Liu Dong noticed that the young woman before him was clearly much more mature than Little Dragon Girl, with a significantly heavier layer of makeup.

She looked to be around his age, somewhere in her early thirties. Yet, having shut himself away as a recluse at home for over a year, Liu Dong hadn't interacted with a strange woman in ages—let alone a beauty whose face, voice, and aura all exuded such mature femininity.

At that moment, standing before a woman of his own age, he felt himself regress into a grade-schooler: nervous and completely at a loss.

The beautiful recruiter clearly sensed Liu Dong's awkwardness. She then proceeded to explain her company's primary business in detail.

After listening to the explanation, Liu Dong experienced a sudden flash of enlightenment. So they were looking for internet livestreamers—the so-called new self-media creators.

Liu Dong was intimately familiar with internet livestreaming. Having been shut-in at home for over a year, he had spent his idle time scrolling through short video apps like Douyin, occasionally watching pretty female dance streamers just to satisfy his cravings, sometimes even showering the streamers with virtual gifts when his hormones surged.

He did have some understanding of a streamer's work, where income primarily relied on tips from wealthy top-tier patrons.

Yet, upon hearing the young lady's brief explanation, Liu Dong shrank back a little. He was neither ugly nor particularly handsome, possessing a totally ordinary face with zero distinctiveness, and he had no special talents to speak of. It was completely unrealistic for him to become a livestreamer.

Liu Dong understood only half of what she said, but when the young lady mentioned the various components that made up a streaming team, his heart fluttered, shaking his hasty decision.

Ultimately, Liu Dong decided to sit down and have a detailed, face-to-face conversation with the young woman...

Sitting on the bus back to his hotel, Liu Dong felt an extraordinary wave of excitement. Being a streamer turned out to be so easy! If you lacked talent, the company would hire professional trainers to teach you. If your looks were subpar, you could use camera beauty filters to enhance them. And if all else failed, the company provided free medical aesthetics services—meaning plastic surgery. As a final resort, those who were particularly ugly had another path available: earning tips through PK battles against other streamers.

Furthermore, according to the young lady's disclosures, if a newcomer went through the process smoothly, within two to three months they could reach a monthly base salary of 50,000 plus commission on tips, with commission floors guaranteeing at least tens or hundreds of thousands...

Influenced by the various pitches of the beautiful and mature young lady (which felt suspiciously like being scammed), Liu Dong hurriedly signed a ten-year contract.

Clutching the thick stack of contracts in his hands, Liu Dong's hands trembled slightly as he recalled the odd couple's signing scene. That rugged, burly "hunk" must have been the type to do PK battle streams!

At this thought, Liu Dong suddenly burst into a stealthy, knowing chuckle, wearing a thoroughly lewd expression.
