Chapter 956: 938. Quota Selection Criteria

Secretary Xiaozu saw the barrage comments and suddenly became puzzled: "Huh? Am I doing the process wrong? Should I have built up to it first?"

After saying that, she realized: "Yeah, I need to build up to it. Otherwise, the fans’ curiosity won’t be maxed out, and they won’t feel excited—How do I go about building it up again?"

[Sister, stop pondering, aren’t you already building it up right now?]

[How else to stir up curiosity? We’ve been curious since the beginning.]

[Exactly! How else to look forward to it? I’ve been looking forward to this for months, just admit whether you have me in your heart or not.]

[Comrade official, speak openly, don’t hold back.]

[As long as you keep this efficient style, I’ll buy anything from your stream in the future.]

[Don’t learn these tricks. Other streams have mastered them flawlessly, there’s no point in us copying them poorly.]

[Just get to the point, you’ve been building up to it long enough, so what about the 12 spots?]

Secretary Xiaozu really has sharp eyes, managing to pick out the key information from the lively and colorful barrage of comments, and then she got back on track:

"The criteria for the 12 spots are as follows—top five in annual spending in the online store, top five on the annual fans list in the live streaming room, plus two spots reserved for a raffle in the stream."

No sooner had she said this than the live stream seemed to freeze for a moment.

Then, a huge wave of fancy special effects swept across the middle of the screen, one after another, such as yachts and flowers and all sorts of things, leaving Secretary Xiaozu completely dumbfounded and unable to keep up.

A moment later, she came to her senses, hurriedly turned off the special effects while urging everyone:

"Stop tipping, stop tipping, this is a joint live stream! Of course, the amounts will be tallied up on Qiaoqiao’s side! And the tips will be shared with him... It’s just that, everyone, this is based on annual performance, so please don’t make impulsive purchases!"

Then, a moment later, two or three lines of shiny gold special effect comments flew across the screen—

[It’s okay, this is for our village’s live stream]

[Take it. Buy a better microphone with this money so you don’t have to borrow from Teacher Qiaoqiao.]

[Just a little money because I really like the style of the live stream, it’s very straightforward.]

Secretary Xiaozu was torn between laughter and speechlessness: "But this is the village’s live stream. I’ll have to report the extra tipping amounts later... Nevertheless, thank you all, but to prevent people from profiting in the future, I’ll turn off the tipping feature."

She paused, then added: "Don’t worry, everyone, I’ll provide a detailed expenditure report after the tip amounts are received and post it on the announcement board."

[Wow! This feels so official...]

[Why else would she be an official? Look at that sense of responsibility.]

[To be honest, I thought people who tipped were foolish, but now I think if I had the money, I’d tip too.]

[Sister Secretary is really doing great! Wouldn’t it be nice if all village officials were like you?]

[Speaking of village officials, I can’t help but think of our village’s TW who has tens of millions...]

[Let’s not talk about state affairs, let’s protect our own live stream!]

Everyone was quick to take advice, and the barrage comments below suddenly changed their tone.

[You can tell right away that poor ghosts don’t deserve to whine.]

[I’m dying of tears! An Unlucky Person like me doesn’t even dare to hope for winning a raffle from tens of thousands of viewers.]

[Luck King here, I must win a spot in the raffle!]

[Disappointed. I thought Host Qiaoqiao was different, but in the end, it’s all about who has more money.]

[What else then? Look at you? No, just look at who has more money!]

[A heart full of sincerity is worth more than anything...]

[Forget it, can sincerity really be exchanged for a house?]

Secretary Xiaozu saw this and said firmly: "Everyone, please do not fight over the spots for the event."

"Sincerity is a very precious thing, it’s not measurable by the same standards as money and material wealth. Money can’t buy sincerity, and sincerity can’t buy money either; it’s not a truly equivalent exchange."

[The point is valid, there should be no fighting over it]

[Talking about sincerity, it’s something you can’t just pick and choose, everyone who watches the live broadcast regularly has some level of sincerity]

[Except for the trolls and paid posters haha! After watching for so long and never managing to snag anything, doesn’t it just suck?]

[Indeed, everyone has sincerity, but that doesn’t mean we can invite everyone over because of it]

Secretary Xiaozu nodded: "You all make sense, we only have so much meat to go around, and our capacity to host is limited, managing to allocate 12 spots was really the best we could do."

"The standards for these spots were carefully considered by all of us sitting together... speaking of sincerity, over the past half-year, watching Host Qiaoqiao’s live broadcast, I truly believe in everyone’s sincerity."

She showed enthusiasm coupled with a bit of embarrassment:

"But when we were setting up the spots, we also had to consider practical issues—that is, our pig-killing meal doesn’t include accommodation. So, after the meal at noon, everyone will have to leave before dinner."

"If you put yourself in their shoes, imagine traveling a long distance, taking time off work, and spending a lot on travel expenses just to get the tickets... after all that effort, to only have a meal and then immediately start the journey home, you’d probably need some financial capability to support that kind of spirit, right?"

[That’s right! Office workers are shedding bittersweet tears of agreement]

[I’m so busy with year-end finances that I’m floating off my feet, now squatting in the restroom watching this segment of the live broadcast]

[Ugh, poverty! What an annoying state to be in!]

[Honestly, I could quit my job right now, but I can’t bear the travel expenses. I looked at the high-speed rail tickets, and a round trip costs over a thousand yuan!]

[The host has considered it well]

[Thinking it over, a poor person like me really isn’t suitable. Going there to eat pork, what if I want to buy something else? I really wouldn’t have a penny left.]

[I don’t believe you, you must still have 12.9 yuan left]

[Talking about the pig-killing meal and I forgot about the hand masks, sister, shall we list products while we chat?]

Secretary Xiaozu glanced over and then replied with a smile:

"The netizen’s suggestion is good, but don’t suggest it next time; I don’t think I’m that appealing."

"If I start listing products while chatting, would there still be anyone left in the live broadcast room?"

Her words were very straightforward.

[There will be people! Definitely! Buying something and switching tabs takes less than ten seconds, I’d only be out for a moment.]

[What you’re saying, Sister Secretary, even if I buy one, wouldn’t I still have to hassle you for another?]

[Honestly, with so many fans, surely some won’t be able to buy, right? Those who can’t will come to you.]

Secretary Xiaozu didn’t pay attention to their nonsense and returned to the topic:

"So, the requirement for spending in the webshop and donating in the live broadcast is to ensure that the spots we call out don’t go to waste."

She looked at Qiaoqiao: "Our Host Qiaoqiao is very much looking forward to it, talking about it constantly, and even went out of her way to prepare gifts for everyone!"

[What gift? A gourmet gift pack?]

[Blind guess: two pounds of pork!]

[Even though I’m probably not in the running, it’s enough for me knowing that Teacher Qiaoqiao has me in her thoughts.]

[A gift from Teacher Qiaoqiao?! Ah, my heart’s racing, I want it so much!]
