Chapter 70
Li Zhen had a polite smile on her face as she gently said, "Sorry, this isn't a runway show today."
The male host's face suddenly turned cold, and he sneered, "Little miss, if you're going to model, don't pretend to be so high and mighty. Big Bro here just increased the tip amount and sent you ten rockets."
The slit on Li Zhen's cheongsam was too high, and it would easily ride up to reveal her thighs when she walked. If it just happened naturally while she was walking, that would be one thing. But with someone trying to peek up her dress on a livestream, of course she would refuse.
This event was very important, so she couldn't get into an argument. Li Zhen could only curse him out in her heart, while maintaining a smile on her face as she said, "I'm sorry sir, I'm working right now so I can't accommodate your request."
The male host made his living by frequently attending events like these and taking candid photos of beautiful women to gain follows and traffic for his stream. His audience was basically just a bunch of greasy middle-aged men.
As soon as Li Zhen refused, the livestream chat exploded with curses.
【Hypocrite!】
【A slut like you has no right acting so high and mighty!】
【Wearing a high-slit dress is for us men to look at.】
【Bro host, stop being a wimp and flip up her skirt.】
The stream chat stirred up a frenzy of verbal abuse, instantly causing the view count to skyrocket.
Seeing this, the male host was delighted.
Just now it was only his few thousand loyal fans, but now it instantly surged to twenty thousand viewers.
As expected, controversy brings traffic!
He had to keep attracting the attention of these new viewers.
Jiang Kening, who was standing to the side, gleefully watched Li Zhen's embarrassment.
Every time they had offline events, some lowlife guys would hit on the models. This time Li Zhen encountered one, and Jiang couldn't wait to watch her drink a gallon of bitterness.
The male host loudly said, "Little miss, don't be shy. We're all family in this stream. No need to be embarrassed, just walk a couple steps. That's what models are for, to show off your figure for us."
After all, he was a streamer. Usually when he tried flirting with someone, after some coy refusals they would agree to his requests.
So the male host was very confident and didn't give up.
Listening to this made Li Zhen want to punch him. "Sir, I think you're mistaken. We're here to showcase the products. Also, when trying to flirt with a woman, you shouldn't just look at her appearance."
"Then what else should I look at?"
"You should also look at your own appearance."
As soon as Li Zhen said this, the stream chat burst into laughter.
【Hahahaha!】
【Laughing so hard I'm about to fall out of my chair! This missy has such a sharp tongue.】
【Taking notes, taking notes! Next time someone criticizes how I dress, I'll clap back just like this!】
【Please miss, start giving lessons! My mouth is so dumb, I want to learn!】
【And this missy is so pretty on top of being so sharp-tongued, I love it!】
The male host took a look and saw that his viewer count was still soaring upwards.
He was delighted.
Looks like this woman was quite good for bringing him traffic.
"Since you're too shy, let me help you out." The male host was determined to make a scene, reaching out to grab Li Zhen's arm, trying to forcibly pull Li Zhen along.
But before the male host could touch her, his wrist was suddenly seized in an iron grip, and a huge force pressed down on his wrist bones with an excruciating, bone-cracking pain.
The male host's face instantly turned white. "Ouch, ouch, ouch, that hurts!"
"You don't need this hand." Yu Sheng's expression was cold, his eyes icy. His strong fingers clamped down on the male host's wrist in an unbreakable vise.
The livestream chat exploded.
【My ears got pregnant from that voice, how can someone sound so good!】
【Boss speaks, I'm in love!】
【Ahhhhhhh! Why can I only see Boss's wrist, the bulging veins are so sexy!】
With a jerk of his arm, Yu Sheng flung the male host away.
The male host staggered back two steps before stabilizing himself, still holding up his phone towards Yu Sheng. "Why are you assaulting people? I'm livestreaming right now, everyone on the internet can see your despicable face..."
Li Zhen gently tapped the phone.
The screen on the male host's phone displayed: Stream ended.
The male host looked at Li Zhen in shock. "You actually ended my stream?"
Weren't they supposed to have a verbal spat and compete? She actually ended his stream!
"In high-level business battles, the simplest methods are often the most effective," Li Zhen said with a faint smile, her tone polite. "Now, please head out the door, take a right, and go to the museum. Otherwise I'll have to call security."
The male host opened and closed his mouth, wanting to say something more, but seeing the icy look in the other man's eyes, his whole body shuddered in fright. Not daring to say anything more, he turned and left, cursing all the way.
The commotion here was quite loud. Ren Zongshun had been in the middle of discussing plans for a promotional shoot with the marketing team.
As soon as he heard Yu Sheng was here, he rushed right over. "Boss Yu, why are you here?"
The models who had been resting in the mall's employee break room also heard the noise and came over.
Zhang Xiya and Meng Yuanjie walked to Li Zhen's side.
Zhang Xiya anxiously asked, "Xiaomengzhen, what happened here just now? I heard arguing."
"Ran into a creep, but it's fine now, he already left," Li Zhen said, massaging her sore legs before going back to her seat.
As she walked, the slit in her cheongsam gave tantalizing glimpses of her fair thighs, accentuated by the cyan dress material.
Yu Sheng withdrew his gaze, his tone cold. "Who arranged the models' outfits? What is this supposed to be!"
"Boss Yu, today there are many media outlets here, you understand..." Ren Zongshun hesitated to explain too bluntly.
But they all understood his implication.
Outfits that were too conservative wouldn't garner much media interest in taking photos.
HH was already quite conservative, other brands had outfits with far less fabric.
"Manager Ren, how much thought did our HH designers put in, how many revisions did they go through, to design this new collection? And our marketing department, while not exactly moving heaven and earth, still pushed our product promotion to the limit compared to competitors." With every word, Yu Sheng's gaze towards Ren Zongshun grew colder by a degree.
Yu Sheng glanced over the models. "The success or failure of the SCC new collection doesn't need to rely on these kinds of attention-grabbing methods."
Yu Sheng's aura was naturally powerful.
Ren Zongshun was sweating bullets from his words, nodding his head repeatedly. "Boss Yu is right, our thinking was too shallow."
Yu Sheng's peripheral vision landed on the slit in Li Zhen's skirt, before withdrawing his gaze again. "Have them take turns going back to the company and change into proper outfits before coming back."
