The taxi stopped at the park entrance and Chen Ge called Xu Wan to help him haul the boxes into the Haunted House.
“Boss, what’s inside these? They are so heavy.”
“Mannequin heads.” Chen Ge did not explain further. “Don’t open them if you’re easily scared.”
“Understood.”
After placing the boxes, Chen Ge had Xu Wan go to the dressing room to prepare herself while he stood at the entrance to sell tickets.
With the opening of Mu Yang High School scenario tomorrow, I’ll need to solve the issue of workers. If worst comes to worst, I can ask Director Luo to lend me a park worker to act as the ticket-seller.
A man who looked about thirty interrupted Chen Ge’s thoughts. “Mr. Chen? I’ve finally found you.”
Chen Ge was rarely addressed this way. He looked at the person. The man was wearing a casual suit and holding a black suitcase. He had a refreshing short hairstyle, a face full of smiles, and shining white teeth. “You were looking for me?”
“I haven’t missed a single one of your livestreams; they’re too good.” The man started with praise, but Chen Ge knew the quality of his livestreams. His content was unique, but due to a lack of good recording devices, the livestream experience could still be improved.
“You’re too kind.” Chen Ge still had no idea what the man was there for. “You’re a viewer?”
“I’m your loyal fan. Ever since your first video entered the midnight popular ranking, I have been following you. Later, when Qin Guang copied your content, it was me who posted your video on the forum, exposing his plagiarism.” The man said that he was Chen Ge’s loyal fan, but he was very calm, and the smile on his face was a professional smile. It felt more like he was in a negotiation than meeting his idol.
“Thank you.” Chen Ge did not believe him fully, but the man did not seem hostile; at least he knew right from wrong. “Since you’re a fan, I’ll give you a fifty percent discount for the ticket.”
“I don’t want to disturb your business; why not let the visitors behind me go in first?” He stepped aside to allow the people behind him to walk into the Haunted House. When Chen Ge had dealt with the visitors and took a breather, the man moved forward to continue. “I hear the people from Qin Guang’s studio came to cause you trouble, but you managed to teach them a lesson?”
“Those are just rumors. Qin Guang’s people have no moral bottom line; they purposely sent two mental patients, and after they acted up inside the Haunted House, they pretended to be the victims to slander my name. How shameless!” Chen Ge hissed through ‘gritted teeth’.
When the man heard him, his expression shifted. He added a smile but said, “I also think they were trying to frame you. It was just a visit to a Haunted House; why would they end up in the hospital? They should have come up with a better excuse.”
“They ended up in the hospital?”
“Yes, they also promised that they would take revenge by sealing up all your recommendation channels but were stopped by another studio.” The man looked at Chen Ge with a wide grin like a fox waving his tail. “After all, the platform belongs to everyone, not just Qin Guang.”
By then, Chen Ge had understood everything already. This man before him had come from this other studio. It looked like they had some bad history with Qin Guang’s studio, or else they would not have sided with Chen Ge when they realized Qin Guang was conducting plagiarism.
