On the Douyu Platform, many viewers like to look for streamers who aren't very popular or are just starting out.

Compared to those with hundreds of thousands of viewers, these smaller streamers seem a bit more approachable.

Even a small gift can make a strong impression in their chat room.

At this moment, the number of viewers in Guan Shimeng's room jumped to several hundred, and the barrage of comments in the livestream started rolling.

"Whoa, what the heck? This streamer is really pretty, why are there so few people here? Just started streaming?"

"Hey, don't you guys read the streamer's bio? So arrogant, of course there's no popularity, damn, if you're that awesome, then don't stream!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, married, could this female streamer be some rich guy's mistress? Can't get satisfaction and comes online to find men?"

"A bunch of idiots, if she had money, why would she even stream? Streamer, don't act so decent, your room doesn't have many people anyway, moderators won't come, just strip for your brothers, I'll reward you with a plane for every piece you take off!"

...

"Damn! These guys' mouths are too dirty!"

"Guys, curse back at them for me!"

Seeing that the already small number of viewers in the room was getting bombarded with more and more obscene language, Shi Lei became angry, grabbed his phone, and was about to have his brothers curse them out.

Xu Fan, noticing this, gave Shi Lei a kick in the butt.

"I'm not even worried, why the hell are you freaking out? Just watch quietly."

"Hehe, I'm just not used to seeing the big sister-in-law getting picked on…"

Shi Lei, after receiving a kick from Xu Fan, broke into a silly laugh and quickly shut his mouth.

Xu Fan had anticipated this sort of problem long ago.

If Guan Shimeng chose this path, then she should have been prepared in advance. Whether she streams now or enters the entertainment industry later, such gossip and filth are inevitable.

If I helped by driving away those trolls from the livestream today, what then? That's not my intention. What I want to do is to make her a woman who is strong on the inside, one who can stand her ground.

Not a greenhouse flower who gets knocked down by a little gossip and foul language.

It seems that the words I've previously told Guan Shimeng had an effect; she wasn't too affected by the gossip in the room right now. She just smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all for coming to my stream. This is my first time streaming. Next up, I'll sing 'Christmas Knot' for everyone."

After that, Guan Shimeng turned on the backing track and began to sing.

Facing the insults in the chat room, she followed Xu Fan's advice and ignored them. Soon enough, the group of trolls lost their interest and stopped completely.

The number of viewers in the room, which was initially only a few hundred, suddenly halved as the trolls retreated, leaving behind only those who genuinely liked Guan Shimeng's singing.

"Boss, should I ask my friends to come and show support for the beauty queen Guan?"

It was her first stream, and she must have been looking forward to it. Seeing the number of viewers drop so much right as she started singing, Shi Lei thought that no one could accept that easily, so he couldn't help but ask Xu Fan.

"No need…"

Xu Fan shook his head, outright refusing Shi Lei's offer of help.

First off, doing so would let more people know about this, which Xu Fan did not want. Also, even if Shi Lei called them, it wouldn't bring in too many people.

She wouldn't feel well knowing that the chat room was filled with people she knew.

Xu Fan did have a simple and forceful method though—to simply send a hundred rockets in Guan Shimeng's room.

By then, just the people coming for the gifts would probably boost Guan Shimeng's viewers to tens of thousands.

But Xu Fan had no intention of using this method.

Attracting so many people with money might just make Guan Shimeng overthink things.

"Boss, are you planning to advertise for the great campus beauty Guan Shimeng?"

By this time, Xu Fan had already left Guan Shimeng's room and seemed to be searching for other live streaming rooms, causing Shi Lei to ask him out of curiosity.

He and his buddies also watched live streams regularly, and were somewhat aware of this method.

By advertising in the rooms of popular streamers, it generally attracted a considerable number of viewers to smaller streamers.

"Holy shit? Boss, you plan to advertise in Miaomiao's room?"

Shi Lei exclaimed as he saw Xu Fan's finger hovering over Miaomiao's room.

Xu Fan frowned in confusion and asked, "What's the problem? Can't I?"

Seeking a little celebrity help was the only solution Xu Fan could think of at the moment. Seeing Shi Lei's hesitant expression, he wondered if his approach was inappropriate?

"Boss, your idea is indeed good, but you may not know..."

"Miaomiao is quite aloof, after all, she's a top streamer, and if you go to her room to advertise, her die-hard fans will probably just tell you to piss off. You might not only fail to advertise but also get muted..."

"Yeah, Xu bro, Miaomiao is a real ice queen. You'd better pick another room to avoid getting hurt."

"I remember last night, some wealthy fan sent her thirty rockets. Just think about it, she usually interacts with that kind of big spenders, why would she bother with someone like you who's just there to advertise?"

Shi Lei and his friends took turns trying to persuade Xu Fan not to waste his efforts. Xu Fan watched and couldn't help but smile.

"Why do I find that hard to believe?"

With that, Xu Fan clicked and entered Miaomiao's live streaming room.

Compared to Miaomiao's sexy outfit from the night before, her clothing today was much more modest.

Because of the change in her dressing style, her popularity had dropped quite a bit, but she still changed her style. It was clear that she took Qianfan Guo's words from last night to heart.

You could see she was singing distractedly, not only mixing up the lyrics but also showing indifference to several planes' worth of tips that flew past her.

"Ai, Goddess Miaomiao must be feeling down about the wealthy fan from last night."

As they watched Miaomiao's dejected appearance, a few of Shi Lei's friends, who were Miaomiao's fans, couldn't help but sigh.

"What happened?"

Since Shi Lei didn't watch the live stream last night, he asked, not fully understanding the situation.

"Ah, Lei bro, yesterday a rich guy sent Miaomiao twenty rockets and didn't ask for anything in return, just told her to keep herself pure from now on. She's probably still thinking about what the rich guy said."

"Thirty rockets, that's thirty thousand bucks. If I missed out on a rich fan like that, I'd be heartbroken too."

"Right? But pity yourself more. The rich fan doesn't care, but it's rough on us. If Miaomiao doesn't wear sexy stockings anymore, where are we gonna go for our eye candy..."

"..."

His bunch of scoundrel friends expressed their empathy in turn, leaving Shi Lei grinning awkwardly.

"Boss, Miaomiao's not in a good mood right now, let's not go and jinx it..."
