To get Guan Shimeng started with live streaming was not as simple as just deciding to begin—there were still a number of problems that needed to be addressed.

Guan Shimeng was still a student, and Xu Fan couldn't possibly let her give up her studies for live streaming.

Live streaming was merely a way for her to test the waters early, to ensure she wouldn't be overly timid in front of large audiences.

Xu Fan was not willing to simply have Guan Shimeng become a host.

Therefore, finding a way for her to dip her toes into live streaming without impacting her studies was an issue that needed consideration.

After giving it some thought, Xu Fan figured the best solution would be to find a place at school for Guan Shimeng to conduct her live streams.

In that case, she could use her spare time to live stream, which wouldn't interfere with her studies, and her parents, for the time being, might not even be aware of it.

He soon sent a text message to Shi Lei, who hurried over.

"Boss, what do you need me for?"

Shi Lei was in a pretty good mood, having not seen Xu Fan for several days and now being called over by him. Xu Fan smiled and said, "Shi Lei, you're more familiar with Zijing Middle School than I am. I want to ask you if you can find a quiet place for me at school, one that's undisturbed and can connect to the internet, where I can put a computer and other equipment."

"This?"

Shi Lei didn't quite understand what Xu Fan was trying to do at first and scratched his head in confusion, asking, "Boss, what are you planning to do? You're not planning to move into the school, are you?"

"No, I'm looking for a place to live stream."

With two beauties at home, Xu Fan had no intention of moving into the school. As a handsome man like himself, if he were to move out, wouldn't Zhou Keren and Qin Mengyue spend their days weeping?

"Cough cough, live, live streaming? Boss, what are you planning to live stream..."

When Shi Lei heard Xu Fan's intention, he almost choked. Having followed Xu Fan for so long, he really didn't know what else Xu Fan had up his sleeve that could be shared through live streaming.

"Why do you care so much..."

Xu Fan glanced over at Shi Lei, speechless. He didn't want to reveal Guan Shimeng's live streaming plans to too many people, to avoid trouble if word got out.

Rolling his eyes, Xu Fan then said, "Recently, I've been feeling a little selfish, you know? I shouldn't keep it to myself that there's such a handsome man in this world."

"So, I thought it's time to let all of Huaxia know just how good-looking a man can be, like me, and let girls from other places enjoy the blessing too."

"..."

Xu Fan was clearly speaking nonsense with eyes wide open, and Shi Lei looked at him in bored amusement.

But he didn't ask further, because he knew very well that if Xu Fan wanted to share, he would naturally tell him.

If he didn't mention it now, there must be a reason.

After thinking it over carefully for a moment, Shi Lei then said, "Well, boss, I do know of a place."

"If you're really going to use it for live streaming, our school's vocal music room should be quite suitable. It has all sorts of musical instruments and is usually used by bands for practice."

"Don't worry, though. They are well-acquainted with me, and I believe they will do me the favor and free up the space if you ask. It's just that, on the school's side, there might be some issues..."

Shi Lei had broad connections at Zijing Middle School, and most of the kids who were in bands were a bit rebellious, so he believed they would probably do him the favor.

Of course, if Xu Fan instructed it, even if they were reluctant, Shi Lei wouldn't mind having a proper talk with them.

"There's no need for you to worry about the school, if they truly don't allow it, I'll go and speak to the principal myself," Xu Fan assured.

He was merely borrowing the school's vocal music room for live streaming, and he believed Yan Ruyu wouldn't block him from doing so.

Now that the location for the live streaming had been settled, Xu Fan instructed, "Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. Also, when you have time, get a computer specifically for live streaming to the school. I'll transfer the money to you later."

"Boss, don't worry! I'll find someone to help with the preparations right away!"

If it hadn't been for Xu Fan's help, he and his family might still be homeless. Shi Lei promised to take care of the task without hesitation, patting his chest confidently.

It wasn't just because Xu Fan had offered to reimburse him; even if Shi Lei had to pay out of his own pocket, he wouldn't bat an eyelid.

With that, the preparations for Guan Shimeng to start her live streaming were almost complete.

All that was left was for Guan Shimeng to register a live streaming account, and once the equipment was set up, she could start her broadcast.

Eager to carry out Xu Fan's orders, Shi Lei didn't dawdle and left right away.

Once in the classroom, Xu Fan reminded Guan Shimeng to set up her live streaming account when she had a moment.

He believed that by tomorrow, everything should be nearly ready.

Then, he could look forward to seeing the results of all his preparations.

Soon it was time to leave school, and after Xu Fan got home, he registered an account on Douyu himself.

With a crash course from Chen Dongdong, Xu Fan also began to understand some aspects of live streaming. He figured that this account might come in handy when Guan Shimeng started her stream the next day.

Having not watched much live streaming before, Xu Fan took his newly created account and started exploring various channels on the Douyu Platform.

Just hearing about it from Chen Dongdong wasn't enough to grasp what live streaming truly was like. To thoroughly understand how it worked, it was better to see for himself rather than just listen.

Xu Fan disregarded the channels related to gaming, not because he didn't like them, but because he considered them irrelevant to Guan Shimeng's issue. He had never heard Guan Shimeng mention gaming, and he believed she might find it too complicated.

Live streaming was meant only as a training ground for Guan Shimeng, an opportunity to practice not being overly nervous in front of a crowd.

Xu Fan focused mainly on channels with female hosts whose main draw was singing, as he planned to have Guan Shimeng sing the next day. Understanding how these people operated would give him a general idea.

However, as he carefully observed each, Xu Fan's brow furrowed more and more.

It seemed that live streaming wasn't as pure as he had imagined.

Compared to male broadcasters who played games, the advantages for female broadcasters seemed even more insubstantial. Going through the channels, he noticed that most of the ones with high viewership involved some risqué content.

Singing was just a side gig; most female broadcasters relied on wearing provocative clothing to attract viewers.

Take, for instance, the channel Xu Fan was currently watching. The host was quite popular on Douyu but couldn't escape this fate...

When facing unreasonable demands from viewers, this host named Miaomiao could only comply...

Xu Fan watched this unfold, his frown deepening. He didn't want Guan Shimeng to endure such treatment; it was not his intention.

Seeing the increasingly outrageous requests from viewers in Miaomiao's room, Xu Fan couldn't help but send a barrage...
