Chapter 16: The anchor is on the homepage (2)
But about what had happened, Qiao Dai was blissfully ignorant.
“Teacher Jiang, thank you. You are a good person.”
Qiao Dai had led the crowd to her room and bowed politely to Jiang Fengchi. She had learned to express her gratitude to Jiang Fengchi in the “Language Communication (Introduction)”, “100 words of politeness” and “Daily polite expressions”.
Hearing Qiao Dai’s words, Jiang Fengchi was startled, as if frozen in time. Was it his illusion or Qiao Dai sounded like a primary school student? His heart was a little subtle, he felt like a kindergarten’s teacher for a short instant.
[Hahaha, why does this little sister talk like a child?]
[She sounds likes she came from Li Lei and Han Mei Mei1, hahaha]
[Right? It’s the kind of language communication primary students are taught, hahahaha]
For a while, the comments were full of people laughing. Between her way of talking and her adorable appearance, Qiao Dai did not give the sightless superficial feeling. She looked rather foolish and incredibly cute.
“It’s nothing, you’re welcome.”
Jiang Fengchi recovered after a while and followed Qiao Dai into the room. Although he had reminded the contestants to pack up any personal belongings before the broadcast, now that he looked at Qiao Dai’s innocent face, he was worried she had not understood his meaning. Jiang Fengchi deliberately restrained his sight and his eyes stared at the floor as if he was afraid to see something he shouldn’t.
[Is Brother Fengchi shy?]
[Ah, our Brother Fengchi is so cute, he does not dare to look around when he enters a girl’s room.]
As everyone was commenting about Jiang Fengchi’s embarrassed attitude, they saw his stunned expression through the camera a second later until their sight ended on… a children’s pool? They saw Qiao Dai and Luan Zhen sitting on the ground, panting and desperately trying to inflate it with a pump. The pool was only halfway done, was her so-called favor referring to this?
Until they saw the pool in Qiao Dai’s room, many viewers had been trying to guess what she had called Jiang Fengchi for. They had a lot of ideas but they had still felt she just wanted a separate shot with Jiang Fengchi and the so-called favor had been a cover. It was not until they saw the pool that they suddenly realized…
Teacher Jiang, a good person = Teacher Jiang, a tool person.
[Sorry, Brother Fengchi, I laughed.]
[Who else imagined something entirely different? Tell me I am not the only one.]
[How did she get such a big pool in the room?]
[Hahaha, everybody, look at our brother Fengchi. He looks so surprised, he never thought the plot would take this direction.]
All of the audience’s previous thoughts were smashed by the pool and any dark ideas instantly disappeared. Nobody had expected this and everybody was just laughing while the number of viewers kept increasing.
“Teacher Jiang, Luan Zhen and I have been trying to inflate the pool for a long time but it’s still not done. Can you take a look?”
Qiao Dai was kneeling on the floor with no care for the camera. She was carefully observing the pool, her eyebrows were slightly twisted, and her eyes were somewhat distressed. Why wouldn’t this pool get built?
“Oh, yes, yes.”
Jiang Fengchi was frozen on the spot for a moment, then quickly reacted. He rolled up his sleeves, walked to Qiao Dai, and squatted down next to her before seriously studying how to pump this children’s pool. How to do this?
Jiang Fengchi looked at the pump attached to the pool for a while; he thought that Qiao Dai had probably not connected it well enough. As soon as he reached out his hand, he heard a “click”; in a second, the pool collapsed, shocking Qiao Dai who rushed to cover the air from leaving.
“Ah, ah, the gas is disappearing!”
She stretched her hands and tried to plug the pump back in a panic. Jiang Fengchi also wanted to reach out and the two of them looked alarmed at once.
[Hahaha, this scene is so funny!]
[We are watching two elementary school students trying to inflate a pool]
[I can’t believe we are actually enjoying watching people build a pool in Brother Fengchi’s live broadcast room.]
The program team, who had been worried earlier about the data of the live broadcast, was stunned as they saw its popularity rapidly increase and at gifts being sent. The number of viewers kept climbing and many comments brushed the screen:
[So many people are watching people pump the pool, why is that?]
[I came from the homepage, what is this?]
[Y1s1, the anchor looks pretty good]
[Oh, it’s a celebrity!]
[Who is it?]
Although this live broadcast had been arranged by the program team, they could not arrange its position on the platform, which was decided in accordance with popularity. And after the rapid increase of spectators, the room had been pushed to the home page, attracting even more people. Before entering the room, people were wondering which live broadcast could be so popular. After entering it, they watched Jiang Fengchi and Qiao Dai playing with a plastic pool like children until they realized it was the official broadcast of a women’s team draft. And the staff looked at the rising data, happier than ever.
They had been worried at first that letting the audience watch Jiang Fengchi trying to pump a pool would affect popularity. Who could have known that not only it did not have any bad impact, it had also attracted so many more people? The program team had made some publicity on their official blog but ending up on the front page of the live broadcast platform was completely unexpected.
The staff threw an excited look at Qiao Dai, thinking that she had a bright future ahead. It was the first time for her and Jiang Fengchi to broadcast live and they had been sent straight up to the homepage. If she wasn’t a traffic treasure, what was she? Thinking of this, the program team wanted the two of them to build the pool a little slower, so they could continue to publicize the show.

At the same moment, some contestants from other dormitories were also watching Jiang Fengchi and Qiao Dai live. The trainees participating in the program would hand over any communication equipment to the staff in accordance with the rules, but they would get it back after each rating. Like that, they could surf on the Internet, check their own popularity, and watch the broadcasts of other dormitories.
“Oh my god, isn’t Class A’s broadcast really high? Let me count… 10, 100, … one billion viewers?!”
In Class F, the girls were huddled in a group and watched the broadcast of the first class, instinctively comparing it with theirs. They couldn’t help but say: “I envy them, Teacher Jiang is so popular everybody will watch them.”
Although the broadcast was still ongoing, the players in Class F were not very popular and most of the attention was on Song Yiqi and Lai You, who had been demoted after failing their challenges. Unfortunately, Song Yiqi had gone to see her friends in dormitory B, and Lai You was in such a bad mood, she had locked herself up in the room. The Class F broadcast had not gone very well and most people had simply gone straight back to their rooms to watch the other dormitories.
“No, this is just the calculation method of the platform, not the actual number of people.”
Hearing a popularity-related question, a player answered before glancing at the data on the screen and silently lowering her head. It was indeed not the number of viewers, but such data was already very powerful. Moreover, with such a number, it was impossible to be just because of Jiang Fengchi.
Live broadcast was a way to attract people’s attention but if the audience felt it was not interesting enough, they would leave after a glance or two. For the Class A broadcast to rush directly to the homepage, the content but had been very fascinating.
Looking at Qiao Dai’s figure on the screen, a contestant could not help but say: “Ah, Qiao Dai is really awesome.”
For a moment, no one refuted the room. Looking at Qiao Dai, they sighed in their heart; no wonder she was on the homepage, it was a broadcast yet she could behave so naturally in front of the camera as if there were no machine around. Just now, when they had been recorded, most of them had not known what to say. They had not grabbed the opportunity and now it was gone. Yes, there was no doubt Qiao Dai was the reason their broadcast was on the homepage.
The live broadcast was coming to an end. Although it was only the first day of the show, dark horse contestants were already starting to show signs and the gap between the girls was slowly widening.

“Wow, it’s finally done!”
Although the process had been a little chaotic, fortunately, everybody worked together to finally find a way to fill the pool of air. Qiao Dai looked proudly at the pool in front of her like they had not just built a children’s pool but a temple. She was full of joy and was acting like a kid waiting for some words of praise, which made people laugh.
“High five!”
Jiang Fengchi shook his head but when he saw Qiao Dai excitedly raise her hand at him, he instinctively reached his and clapped his palm against Qiao Dai’s in a small noise. Before he could even realize what had happened, Qiao Dai had already run over to Luan Zhen to high-five her too, just like a child.
“Well, Fengchi, you have worked hard. That’s it for today’s live broadcast.”
The staff was still looking at the data and was getting ready to write a detailed report. There were only a few minutes left before the end and the staff informed Jiang Fengchi he could prepare to conclude it. But as soon as they said it, a gift worth 10,000 yuan was sent with an eye-catching message: [Can the little sister wear a swimsuit?]
Jiang Fengchi frowned and his expression darkened.
