DEM Chapter 55: This… This Stunt Is Too Wild!

“But for live-streamed sales, do we have any fresh and legally compliant products?”

Yin Qiyue had fully embraced her role as a partner, her face brimming with anticipation as she asked.

She genuinely wanted to make this livestream a success!

This way, she’d have an excuse to stay by her niece’s side every day!

Before Su Yuan could respond, Chen Nuoyi’s eyes lit up with realization. “Su Yuan, are you talking about the dragonscale roasted goose we sell at the school cafeteria? That would make for a great livestream.”

Su Yuan nodded. “The dragonscale roasted goose hasn’t expanded beyond campus because we lacked proper promotion.”

“Because of that, I initially didn’t plan to make money by scaling up its sales.”

“But everything changed with Classmate Yin Qiyue’s arrival. If she joins our team, the dragonscale roasted goose will surely have thousands of fans lining up to buy it!”

“As for where we’ll prepare the goose, I plan to keep it at the school cafeteria. We’ll livestream and cook during off-hours or holidays when the cafeteria is closed.”

“I’ll handle negotiations with the school. With one of us being a prime candidate for the special advanced class and the other in the top three of our grade, how could the school refuse to let us borrow the cafeteria to promote both the school and our entrepreneurial venture?”

By the end, Su Yuan’s tone carried a hint of excitement.

In this era where traffic is king, the earning potential of live-streamed sales needed no explanation.

If the dragonscale roasted goose took off, earning a million a month or even more, it was entirely possible!

“Coach, you’re an absolute genius!”

Chen Nuoyi was filled with admiration.

Chu Lanxi, watching from the sidelines, also broke into a smile.

Seeing Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi working in perfect harmony, Yin Qiyue was consumed with envy.

These two had done so much together behind her back, Su Yuan, that sneaky punk, was just too cunning!

She wished she could take his place!

But soon, Yin Qiyue realized something and cautiously interjected, “Um, the product you’re talking about, this so-called roasted goose, doesn’t sound very competitive.”

As everyone turned their attention to her, Yin Qiyue cleared her throat and spoke from a highly professional perspective.

“I’m an experienced streamer myself and have seen plenty of big sales events.”

“Some streamers broadcast fishing in lava seas, others personally go to the ninth heaven to harvest mica, and some even bring in Foundation Establishment chefs to helm the show…”

“If a few high school students like us are starting a business, we won’t get any traffic without pulling off something truly wild.”

…

“This… this stunt is too wild!”

On Sunday morning, Yin Qiyue’s eyes widened as she watched a nearly human-height, maroon-colored roasted goose hopping around the serving window, brandishing a knife and gesturing at itself.

A meaty roasted goose, plating itself live?

She looked at Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi in disbelief.

Were these two playing this big behind the scenes?

“The school’s on board. We can use the Sunday holiday and after-hours cafeteria time for our livestreamed sales.”

“These four roasted geese were originally prepared for Monday’s students, but now they can serve as ready-made material for our livestream.”

“As for profit-sharing, to support me and the Class Leader’s entrepreneurial efforts, the school will only charge a friendly rate of ten yuan per goose, on top of the sixty-yuan cost. The rest is our pure profit.”

Su Yuan hung up the phone and reported the negotiation results to Yin Qiyue and Chen Nuoyi.

The outcome was a win-win for everyone.

He then turned to Yin Qiyue, who was still in a daze.

“Classmate Yin, if there’s no issue, let’s start the livestream. The Class Leader and I each have a goal of earning a million a month, so time’s tight and the task is heavy.”

“Oh, okay.”

Yin Qiyue snapped out of her stupor.

She had only learned that morning about the ten-million-yuan tuition for Taihua High School’s special advanced class.

Without Su Yuan bringing Chen Nuoyi into this venture, Chen Nuoyi would have faced only two outcomes:

Either return to her family in disgrace or miss the chance to study under Tai Bai Tianji.

She couldn’t help but feel quietly grateful to Su Yuan.

[Favorability +10]

Seeing the sudden notification of increased favorability on the system panel, Su Yuan gave a slight smile.

Yin Qiyue’s favorability toward him had already reached 65.

As expected, as long as he kept her close to Chen Nuoyi and did things to benefit Chen Nuoyi, her favorability would keep rolling in.

What puzzled Su Yuan, though, was that according to typical novel tropes, as an illegitimate daughter, shouldn’t Yin Qiyue resent Chen Nuoyi, the legitimate young lady?

Yet reality was the complete opposite.

Big families were just too messy!

Yin Qiyue quickly snapped a few photos of the roasted goose to use as the product cover, then officially started the livestream.

“Hello, everyone! I’m Qiyue, and today I’m streaming something different.”

“I’m at the cafeteria of Taihua High School, where two of my friends are starting a business. They’ve prepared a mysterious dish for me to try. Come check it out with me!”

Yin Qiyue sat at a cafeteria table, waving at the phone mounted on a selfie stick, her camera angle as disastrously unflattering as ever.

With her 200,000-plus real fans, the livestream instantly drew over a hundred viewers as soon as it began.

“Qiyue’s streaming this early?”

“Visiting a school cafeteria? What’s there to see in a cafeteria?”

“It’s been ten years since I graduated, but I still dream about high school cafeteria food. Thanks, Qiyue, for dragging me back into that nightmare.”

A few comments floated across the screen.

Yin Qiyue ignored them, swiveling the camera to focus on the two people sitting across the table. “These are my friends, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi. What delicious treat have these hosts prepared for me? I’m so excited!”

Comments praising their looks immediately flooded in, and the livestream’s popularity surged rapidly.

Of course, most viewers were there for Chen Nuoyi.

The Chen family’s young lady’s stunning beauty was undeniable.

Facing the camera for the first time, Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi were slightly awkward, stiffly greeting the audience.

To avoid any lulls, Yin Qiyue jumped straight to the point, feigning curiosity. “Su Yuan, Nuoyi, what dish have you prepared for me? Stop being so secretive and bring it out!”

“Alright.”

Su Yuan raised his hand and shook the Soul-Summoning Bell.

Soon, a food cart carrying an empty plate appeared on screen.

Seeing the empty plate, a wave of “???” comments flooded the chat.

“What food is this mysterious?”

“Is it like Beijing roast duck, sliced right in front of the guests?”

Yin Qiyue’s eyes lit up at this comment, and she smiled. “This fan got it right! But it’s not roast duck, it’s roasted goose!”

“And it’s not a chef doing the slicing. The food slices itself.”

With that, Yin Qiyue shifted the camera slightly, centering the dragonscale roasted goose pushing the cart in the frame.

With a gentle ring of the Soul-Summoning Bell, the goose’s wing, tied with a knife, waved at the audience before immediately starting to slice itself live!

The livestream fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a tidal wave of “Holy crap!!!” filling the screen!

The livestream’s popularity skyrocketed.
