The much-hyped farce has finally come to a perfect conclusion.
This "Support Meng Hao" campaign, involving the entire nation, has made every ordinary citizen of Great Xia clearly see that in front of true technological giants who serve the country and its people, mere trending idols are not even worthy of carrying their shoes.
The Mech Girl's livestream continued.
It is worth mentioning that, after this nationwide sensation, Meng Hao also definitively decided to separate the livestream channel from Little Broken Station. Instead, after official business registration and changes, a sub-category of online livestream sales was added to Hua Rong Technology.
Of course, Meng Hao understood the principle of letting others have some soup when he ate the meat. Therefore, the livestream data was connected to over ten online social platforms, including Dou Yin, Kuai Shuo, Bi Hu, and Wei Bo, and the data feedback was instantaneous. This meant that on any of these collaborating online social platforms with Meng Hao, one could see Meng Hao's livestream. Furthermore, any bullet comments or gifts sent on any livestream platform could be directly seen by the Mech Girl, who controlled the livestream platform.
In response, apart from the owner of Little Broken Station, Uncle Chen, who was filled with regret and secretly hated himself for not keeping Meng Hao, all other major social media platforms appeared to be celebrating. Even though Meng Hao had not appeared on screen for several days, all major platforms still placed the Mech Girl's livestream in the top position. According to data released by a third-party statistical agency, the Mech Girl's livestream had already garnered twenty million followers, with peak concurrent viewers exceeding three million. This was data from before Meng Hao's appearance. If Meng Hao were to fulfill his promise and livestream the repair of the lithography machine, the number of concurrent viewers might reach a terrifying ten million.
With such a massive livestream operation, it was impossible for Mech Girl Qin Muyan to handle it alone. Thus, after obtaining Meng Hao's consent, Chenghua began another round of recruitment. Oddly, all the new members recruited this time were girls, and not a single one of them could match Mech Girl Qin Muyan's looks. This was the result of a power struggle between Chenghua and Qin Muyan. Hua Rong Technology offered excellent compensation, which could definitely attract many attractive girls. However, as the head of Hua Rong Technology's livestream department, Qin Muyan strongly opposed it. Her core reason was: damn it, she already had Zhang Xijin competing for his attention. If more attractive girls were added, wouldn't Hao Ge's attention be further divided? For Hao Ge's heart and health, only girls with ordinary looks could be hired as livestream assistants.
Of course, Qin Muyan also considered hiring some men, but this was immediately vetoed by Chenghua. Not only Chenghua, but almost all the high-level executives and employees of Hua Rong Technology had implicitly accepted Qin Muyan as a sort of "boss's wife." Meng Hao's main job was not to be in the livestream room all day. If he wasn't participating in the livestream, having so many young men in the livestream building with Qin Muyan – what would that look like? Were they planning to give Hao Ge a cuckold? In the end, both sides compromised. Over a dozen female assistants with very ordinary looks, and many who were older, were hired.
Regarding this, Meng Hao, who had been missing for several days, did not show much resistance or objection when he returned to the Shilin Hua Rong Technology factory. However, the viewers in the livestream room were in an uproar.
"Damn it."
"What is going on here!"
"Some of these girls look older than me!"
"Although Mech Girl is beautiful, seeing her too much can lead to aesthetic fatigue. Can't we bring in some fresh blood?"
"After eating delicacies, trying something simple like radish and greens occasionally is also good."
"By the way, where did these old green onions get dug up from?"
…
Meng Hao had indeed gone to the desert base during these past few days. Although the technology provided by the system was fully capable of producing products more than ten years ahead of the most advanced lithography machines on the market, many core components could not be produced by Hua Rong Technology's current production lines. Fortunately, Hua Rong Technology currently had four branch factories. As the company's boss, Meng Hao could go to any branch factory and procure parts without needing to report to anyone.
…
One sunny noon, a week after the "Brother Chicken and Kun Kun" incident, Meng Hao appeared.
"My god, Hao Ge, you've finally shown up."
"You have no idea, we're sick of looking at these old green onions for over a week."
"We're not LSPs who prioritize looks, and we have no malice towards ordinary-looking girls… But this is a livestream, right? Hua Rong Technology's livestream channel has tens of millions of followers. Can't we at least have some good-looking girls appear on screen!"
"Forget it, women only hinder Hao Ge's lithography machine technology… As men, mechanical aesthetics are more appealing."
Looking at the various sarcastic bullet comments in the livestream room, Meng Hao was somewhat speechless.
"Alright, everyone, stop making a fuss."
"The recruitment of livestream staff was handled by Mech Girl and another long-term employee responsible for administrative work."
"I don't get involved in these matters."
Meng Hao explained briefly. The bullet comments immediately flooded the screen.
"Oh, Mech Girl picked the female staff, then it's fine. Will Sister-in-law be jealous!"
Sister-in-law, who is Sister-in-law? Mech Girl? I think that female lieutenant officer is more appealing!
"Stop arguing, why not take both!"
"I've already thought of a question, I'll post it later, everyone help me repost it."
"The question is… after developing the lithography machine, will the country allow polygamy?"
"Good question, here's fifty cents, I'll post it!"
"The slow ones are still babbling, I've already posted it. In just a few minutes, this question has been reposted over a hundred times."
"Damn it, you old sly fox, I want to post it too!"
"…"
Meng Hao was almost dizzy. This batch of viewers was too rowdy. Also, the matter of Hao Ge's potential "Sister-in-law"? As the person himself, how could he not know he had a girlfriend! Qin Muyan? Zhang Xijin? Hey, we're just normal work colleagues and friends, alright!
Meng Hao understood that things the viewers decided on were basically irreversible. Helplessly, he could only throw money to divert everyone's attention.
"Everyone, we only drew 10 lucky winners of 50,000 yuan each before…"
"Before this livestream, another 10 lucky viewers will be drawn…"
"And, during the research and repair of the lithography machine, red envelopes will be distributed periodically… each red envelope no less than 50,000!"
As expected, money was omnipotent. The viewers, immediately regaining their attention, began waiting for the next round of lucky draws. With Meng Hao's appearance and the stimulus of the red envelopes, the livestream's popularity reached its peak.
Then, Meng Hao typed a line of text on the keyboard and replaced the livestream's title.
【Challenge: To complete the research and manufacturing of Great Xia's domestically produced high-precision lithography machine within one month】
Boom.
This time, the livestream exploded even more.
"Holy crap, Hao Ge is awesome!"
"Completing the research and manufacturing of a lithography machine in one month."
"Damn it, are Hua Rong Technology and Hao Ge this incredible!"
"Never mind, I'm going to stay glued to the livestream for this entire month!"
