Chapter 836: Chapter 349: He Who Knows the Times Is a Great Man

The commotion online didn’t affect the progress of ongoing matters in reality.

On the 20th, the Yu Family Army on the Dog Star Platform emptied all of their Star Coins.

Since the birthday stream cutoff, Yuji had been unable to log into her host account on Dog Star or post any updates.

So, she made a rallying call directly on Weibo and her fan group: “Brothers, get ready to follow Yuyu and conquer the next platform!”

The Yu Family Army spent all their remaining Star Coins on other Xingyu hosts, then eagerly registered Panda accounts.

Wang was so thrilled his legs couldn’t close, averaging three voice calls with Su Huai every day.

On the 24th, both sides finally signed the investment agreement.

At the Imperial Capital Wanda Hotel, Wang Siming held a grand signing ceremony and media conference.

Cheese, Fu Yu, and Pei Shuyu attended, signing three separate agreements with Panda.

The first was Xingyu Investment investing in the Panda Platform, contributing Y=1 billion to acquire 20% equity in Panda.

During the information disclosure segment, Wang Siming revealed that Series B funding had been completed, raising a total of Y=1.6 billion and receiving high recognition from the investment community…

What followed were a series of project disclosures, including plans for self-produced variety shows and films.

The second agreement was a strategic cooperation pact, covering but not limited to a heap of mutually beneficial clauses, with Xingyu providing deep support for Panda.

When a reporter posed a question, Wang Siming cryptically replied: “Previously, Panda had always been a lopsided platform focusing primarily on esports. We successfully gained fame, but some challenges also arose. Now, these issues will be properly resolved…”

He left everyone hanging with curiosity and waved off further questions without elaborating, playing mysterious.

Though honestly, there wasn’t much mystery.

Xingyu had committed to migrating the vast majority of entertainment hosts from Dog Star to Panda, essentially constructing a complete entertainment ecosystem for Panda. That was all.

The third agreement was Yuji’s exclusive partnership with Panda, officially making her Panda’s sole exclusive host.

The deal signed for 4 years with a fee of Y=320 million, double what last year’s Miss secured.

Additionally, she would receive a fixed annual salary of Y=30 million, setting another record.

As soon as the news broke, the internet exploded again.

Voices of doubt filled the air: “What makes her worth this?”

The Yu Family Army countered: “Yuji rakes in Y=1.8 billion in a single day. Why would you think she’s not worth an Y=80 million annual contract?”

The opposition fell silent but continued to harbor dissatisfaction.

Financial news platforms buzzed for days, with related discussions visible across major sites, and everyone eagerly awaited Yuji’s debut on Panda.

On the 26th, just as Su Huai’s first batch of soldiers went offline, Wang Siming excitedly rushed to Xingyu Headquarters.

“Good brother, Panda’s revision is complete!”

Su Huai raised an eyelid and lazily asked, “Tested it yet?”

“Tested it, guaranteed no issues!”

“You better truly guarantee that,” Su Huai replied skeptically. “Yuji’s debut may put the server and livestream room under a 5 million user-level stress test. If there’s a problem then, it’s your reputation on the line, not just ours.”

“Uh…”

Mr. Wang suddenly lost his confidence, furrowing his brow and nervously asking, “How about I have them run another round of stress testing and bug checks?”

“Go ahead, confirm everything before coming back. We’re busy prepping the show–don’t let us fall short.”

Wang Siming, brimming with excitement yet uneasy anticipation, hurriedly flew back. Meanwhile, Su Huai went downstairs to the rehearsal room and knocked on the door.

“Mr. Su!”

As soon as the door opened, he was instantly drowned in a chorus of sweet voices from the girls.

Inside the room were forty to fifty women–all stunning beauties.

“Hi everyone, how’s the rehearsal coming along?”

Dance Director Susan replied confidently, “No issues, we’ll absolutely deliver!”

Art Director Alex was equally assured, coolly making a ‘no problem’ gesture.

Su Huai turned to Zhen Ji and asked gently, “How are things? Are you adapting well here?”

Wearing Hanfu, Zhen Ji’s face flushed red as she shyly answered, “Very well. Everyone’s been so kind to me. I never thought I’d get a second chance. I’m truly grateful to you and everyone…”

Su Huai comforted her, “Do your best, learn well. You’re not Yu’s replacement–I have higher expectations for you.”

That bit of flattery drew envy from countless other girls.

Su Huai turned his gaze around the room and felt dazzled by the array of talent.

These women were Xingyu’s gift to Panda’s audience.

At this stage, it was no longer just about Yuji switching platforms–it was an opportunity for Xingyu to flex its muscles on a larger stage for outsiders to see.

Having the golden girl perform solo could undoubtedly carry the show, but it wouldn’t be impactful enough, nor would it be awe-inspiring.

Thus, Su Huai ordered Alex and Susan to execute the plan for a Xingyu music and dance extravaganza.

40-plus girls, divided into roughly three program groups.

The first group was the orchestra.

Out of tens of thousands of Xingyu hosts, they selected twelve girls who were not only stunning but also truly adept with musical instruments and singing.

From Mingyue’s pipa, guzheng, and flute to Western instruments like piano and strings, and even electronic music with keyboard loops…

There were ensemble performances, accompaniments, and pure instrumental shows, primarily used to build excitement while Yuji switched costumes.

The second group was the dance crew.

Susan, a choreography master and K-pop expert, handpicked girls with ample talent out of tens of thousands of beauties–it couldn’t have been simpler.

Next, each polished their routines, recreating iconic stages.

From Girls’ Generation’s “GEE,” “OH,” to third-generation groups’ sultry jazz moves, they choreographed everything suitable for livestream performances.
