Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 266

I had a very happy meal, but Li Xiao also felt that he might have been here too much recently, and he was a little tired of eating.

After all, eating 4 meals in a row in a week seems a bit outrageous.

After eating, he went to the back kitchen to say hello to everyone who used to work together, and then Li Xiao left with his mother.

But after leaving, they didn't go home immediately, but went to the nearby shopping mall together to buy some scattered items needed for the New Year.

After that, he went to the New Year's flower market. Since the weather this year was quite good, Li Xiao found that most of the flowers seemed to be quite cheap, so he didn't think too much about it, and bought what he liked.

Liang Jinjian felt a little distressed when she saw it, but she said a few words casually, but found it was useless, and then she closed her mouth.

After all, they are all adults, what should be done and what should not be done, she thinks her son should understand, as elders like herself, just say it once or twice, and he will listen to what should be listened to, if he doesn't want to listen, then say Doing it 10 times and a hundred times is useless, it will only annoy people.

In the end, it took three tricycles to bring all the flowers and bought the flowers for the New Year. The original monotonous green color screen instantly became colorful. Seeing the final product, Liang Jinjian, who thought it was a waste of money, stopped talking.

He only remembered now that his family was no longer living in that dilapidated old house.

The new villa my son bought is so majestic and beautiful, if he doesn't buy more beautiful ones, it will not look grand enough.

Thinking that if my son didn't buy these flowers, others would come to see the lonely flowers in the garden, and would laugh at my son for not being willing to decorate.

She was relieved in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't talk too much just now, and insisted on taking care of the child's decision, otherwise the joke would become a big one.

Time passed quickly, and Li Xiao didn't continue to broadcast live outside for the past two days.

Even if you want to start a live broadcast, you will do it at home, cooking some simple hard dishes that are easy to make during the Chinese New Year, so that your audience can have a chance to show their strengths during the annual New Year's Eve dinner.

The twice-a-day live broadcast only lasts about an hour each time, but the income is also quite good, earning [-] to [-] a day, which is already pretty good for Li Xiao.

In the past two days, the kitten was broadcasting live, and Xuanwu called three more times. This time Li Xiao went well, but unfortunately the two sides didn't get what each other wanted.

After all, Kitten Live is now a passive party, and now he unilaterally wants to sign a new contract with Li Xiao.

On Li Xiao's side, it doesn't matter whether they sign a new contract or not. After all, more money and less money don't have much impact on the bottom, after all, it is completely enough now.

After all, there are 1 to 000 a day for a casual live broadcast like now, and there are less than [-] million in a year.

This income is too much for him now, so much that he doesn't know how to spend it at all. He has a house and a car, and he doesn't pursue any luxuries.

So his only appeal was a one-year contract and a one-year non-compete agreement, but Kitten Live couldn't give it to him.

After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, with Li Xiao's concession this time.

Then other anchors will probably take this as a threat and want the same treatment. This is the reason why the kitten live broadcast decisively refused.

The payment of liquidated damages has accounted for more than 20% of the revenue on the kitten live broadcast platform. That is to say, if the annual revenue of the kitten live broadcast was 2 million, the cost of breach of contract by the anchor alone was as high as 000, [-] million.

But if the non-competition contract and employment contract are only for one year, then many new employers are unwilling to pay such a sum of money.

Some anchors can even use up the rest of the contract period with an attitude of working hard, after all, the one-year contract will pass in a blink of an eye.

After a continuous stalemate, the kitten platform took the lead in reverting Li Xiao's old contract.

This is also the reason why Li Xiao's income has suddenly become [-] to [-] in the past few days, but he didn't feel upset or unhappy about it.

After all, in the final analysis, it is actually his fault. After all, he has also learned about the contracts of other anchors. Compared with their five-year contracts, his two-and-a-half-year contracts are indeed very loose.

But it's a pity that the demands of the two sides can never reach a consensus, so Li Xiao neither chose to quit, nor complained to the live broadcast platform, but continued to maintain the efficiency of the live broadcast twice a day.

After all, no one is wrong, the only thing wrong is that everyone is in the wrong position.

Xuan Wu, who was far away in his hometown, looked at Li Xiao laughing and broadcasting, the facial features on his face had already wrinkled into a ball.

Xuanwu's mother at the side saw her son's expression of eating shit, she frowned and said:
"I'm not talking about you. It's the New Year's Eve. Can you stop working in your company? You're so sad all day long. When your father sees it, I'll talk about you again."

Xuanwu could only nod helplessly and forced a smile, but he felt that the depression in his heart had nowhere to vent.

He has already asked seven or eight friends in the same company, but there is really no news that Li Xiao is looking for a new home, and he has never heard of any platform that wants to poach him.

After all, gourmet live broadcasting is a small crowd after all, with more than 1000 million fans, it is not like those high-players of video games, nor is it like those girls with super good figure who can sing and dance, nor are they like those who are full of gossip. Wretched old man.

These people have a larger audience, tens of millions or even over [-] million fans are normal, of course, it is also normal to have moisture in them.

Therefore, Xuanwu could only draw one conclusion, that is, Li Xiao really didn't find a new home, and he was unwilling to sign a new contract purely because he was a libertine and loved freedom all his life.

However, this is the thing that confuses him the most. If he really has a job, it's okay to say, but now he doesn't want to sign if he doesn't have a job, it becomes evidence of his lack of ability.

The superior has made it clear to him now, observe for 3 months first, if Li Xiao does not leave after three months, he will be promoted back to the B-level contract with a [-]-[-] split, but once Li Xiao leaves, he will pack up and leave people.

He was really devastated when he heard the news. After all, he had been working in Kitten Live for nearly 10 years. He never thought that the higher-ups would get rid of him if they didn’t agree with each other.

When he heard the news, he really wanted to leave. After all, he has been in this industry for nearly 10 years.

It is estimated that I can go to some small platforms and become the director or deputy director of a certain department if I change jobs from the big platform of Xiaomao Live.

But when I think about the share of the anchors that I signed under my banner is [-] to [-] a year, and once Li Xiao in front of me changes his mind, he really signs a new contract.

Then my year-end bonus has to be multiplied several times, at least 30 to [-] a year, then I will become a middle class, and it is no longer impossible to buy a house in the capital.

Now his mentality is quite entangled, he doesn't want to stay in fear with Li Xiao, and may be fired at any time, but he is afraid that Li Xiao will really sign the contract, and the one who takes over his position will be able to buy a Land Rover tomorrow.

So every time he sees Li Xiao's live broadcast, he is always on tenterhooks, for fear that he will say something before the broadcast, today is my last day in Kitten Live, and the next time we meet we will be on a certain platform.

That is to say that his working career on the kitten platform is completely over.

He never thought that his working life would be hooked up with an anchor.

In the blink of an eye, it came to the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, and Li Xiao was busy in the kitchen with her mother.

There are a lot of dishes to cook today. Although there are only three people eating the New Year's Eve dinner tonight, according to the traditional arrangement, it is 8 dishes and one soup.

After all, this tradition has not been interrupted even in the worst years of Li Xiao's family environment. Of course, in the past, more vegetarian dishes were used to make up for it.

Now that the environment is better, the dishes will have more variety.

Looking at her son's sharp knife skills, Liang Jinjian was a little surprised. She didn't know when her son could cook, and he did it so well.

Seeing one dish after another growing from scratch in front of her eyes, her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

Although her own cooking skills can't be said to be very good, she can only handle some ordinary home-cooked dishes, but she is very clear about whether other people's cooking is good or not.

[Sand Ginger Chicken], [Scallion Steamed Sea Bass], [Garlic Shrimp], [Glutinous Rice Meatballs], [Osmanthus Pork Ribs], [Braised Pork Belly with Dried Bamboo Bamboo], [Baked Lobster with Cheese], [Emerald Cabbage], and finally There is [Flower Maw Chicken Soup].

Such rich dishes are not inferior to eating at home, even if they are entertaining guests in a big restaurant.

Li Jianguo was also taken aback when he saw the various dishes on the table. He hadn't been helping in the kitchen just now, so he was far more surprised than Liang Jinjian when he suddenly saw such a large table of dishes.

And he also clearly understands how high his wife's level is. After all, the few dishes she eats back and forth every day are not steamed meat pies, steamed pork ribs, steamed chicken, or boiled cabbage hearts.

He is almost tired of eating such dishes. If his wife has such skills, how can she make the same dishes every day?
Since it's not my wife, it can only be my son who can only cook instant noodles.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. He was still trained in a social university. He didn't expect his son to grow so much after only working for more than a year.

Liang Jinjian served a bowl of soup for each of the three from the kitchen, and Li Xiao also mixed a bottle of Feitian Moutai from the wine cabinet.

Seeing his son get such an expensive wine, Li Jianguo quickly waved his hands:
"My family doesn't need to drink these. This bottle is several thousand smaller."

Li Xiao laughed lightly and said:
"You can drink as much as you like, and it's only about two thousand yuan. Do you know how much I earned in live streaming for 2 hours just now?"

Hearing that the bottle of wine that his son had already opened cost more than 2000 yuan, Li Jianguo felt a little pain in his heart.

Hiss, more than 2000 yuan, which is more than half a month's salary for my son. Listening to his son's tone, it seems like opening a bottle of 200 yuan wine. This kid really doesn't treat money as money.

But he hesitated when he heard it later. He already knew that his son was hard to earn money, but he still had no accurate idea of ​​how much he could earn in these two hours. He hesitated and said a number:
"1 yuan?"

This number is quite good in his mind, after all, 1 yuan in two hours, and more than 5000 yuan in one hour.

That is to say, his son can earn his own monthly salary in one hour. In his opinion, the figures he said are already exaggerated.

But Li Xiao smiled and shook his head, and said two words lightly:

"more than."

Hiss, the two gasped, more than 1 yuan?And listening to this tone, it's still a lot worse?

Li Jianguo spoke boldly again:
"5 yuan?"

While speaking, he stretched out 5 fingers.

Li Xiao still shook his head, but this time he didn't let his parents guess any more, and said directly:
"I received 15 in just two hours, but it is probably because of the New Year's Eve, so there are so many, usually less, but there are still [-] to [-] an hour."

"So you guys, eat as much as you want, and drink as much as you want. With your son's current ability, financial freedom is only a matter of time. Let alone a bottle of more than 2000 wine, even if a bottle of wine is more than 2, Dad, you You can drink as much as you want, and the son earns money to spend, as long as you two are happy, nothing is a problem."

Hearing Li Xiao say that he can earn 15 yuan in two hours, Li Jianguo immediately swallowed all the words he was going to teach his son. After all, a person who earns more than 5000 a month teaches a person who earns several million a month how to live. Seems a bit inappropriate.

However, Liang Jinjian still reminded me:
"Although you earn a lot of money now, you still have to accumulate grain to prevent hunger. Don't spend as much as you have, understand?"

Li Xiao responded with a smile:

"Of course, I will be worried about this. I just tell you two not to be so frugal, and you can spend what you want and eat what you want."

"Okay, okay, come on, today is Chinese New Year, don't talk about anything else, let's have dinner."

It was a very happy meal. Of course, there were a lot of leftover meals, but they were not thrown away. Instead, they were all packed together and put in the refrigerator, so that they could continue to eat after the second day of the new year.

After eating, fruits and melon seeds were served, and the three of them piled up in the hall to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

Many people think that people in the south don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, but it is not the case. Although it is not very good-looking, at least as far as Li Xiao's family is concerned, every Spring Festival Gala will not be missed.

Of course, although Li Xiao was listening to the voice of the Spring Festival Gala, she was indeed playing with her mobile phone.

Due to my recent popularity in Dongguan, some junior high school students and even elementary school students who have not been in contact with me for nearly ten years have come to my door. It is really poor in the downtown area that no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

Some are just out of curiosity, while others have various plans, or they want to ask Li Xiao for help in publicity, or they want to enter the live broadcast business.

Of course, most of them were politely dismissed by Li Xiao.

After all, we haven't contacted for so long, and there are not many people he can call out by their full names. He wants to help. In his opinion, his face is really thick. From this to that, he can guess that his character may not be good. Where to go.

But there are still some friends who really had a good relationship when they were students, and the other party didn't ask him for help or borrow money. It's just because the contact information was broken, so these friends Li Xiao still chat occasionally.

Therefore, Li Xiao in New Year's Eve is really busy, not only to deal with the enthusiastic audience on the kitten live broadcast, but also to deal with familiar or unfamiliar friends and classmates.

It can be said that from sitting down to now, his fingers have not stopped for half a minute.

After finally processing all the information, and getting ready to stretch and eat some fruit, the group lights up again.

And it was still a group of good friends, so he quickly clicked on the group, and it turned out that it was the monitor who sent the message.

He also sat back in his seat and clicked on the message.

[Happy New Year, thank you for your help some time ago, the operation of [Neighborhood] is much better than expected, thank you very much.In the new year, I wish you live broadcast, success, love, harmony, beauty, life, and happiness. 】

This text message is not the same as those group messages at first glance, Li Xiao quickly replied seriously.

[You are polite, where do you say thank you so much among friends? I really don’t see it. Thank you for your New Year’s blessings. I also wish you here in advance. In the new year, I have found the other half of my life. More and more shops are opening, and I am always smiling. ,A dream come true. 】

After clicking send, Li Xiao put down his phone and ate the fruit.

On the other side, the squad leader sitting on the edge of the pool didn't have much expression on his face, as calm as ever.

Seeing the screen of the phone light up, she quickly opened it, and seeing the message from the other party, she sighed.

The finger landed in the input box, and then typed a long list of messages, and then deleted them one by one, watching the light of the phone from bright to dim, and then completely turned off.

She let out a long breath of foul air, and stuffed the phone back into her bag, out of sight.

Chang Tianyu, who seemed to be playing with his mobile phone in the distance, saw this scene and thought about it seriously.

Although he hadn't seen this expression on his second sister's face, he had seen it on the faces of his drinking and meat friends.

Isn't this the expression of wanting to chase a girl, but being unable to do so for various reasons, or failing to do so?

Although he is a well-known dandy, he has never been a fool. He immediately thought of the guy he met a while ago.

The anchor, who he thought was not well-known, really surprised him after checking.

He didn't expect the other party to be so popular in the Dongguan area. If he really had a conflict with him last time and he exposed it on the Internet, he would probably have to scold his father again.

However, he also found out that the anchor did have a girlfriend, but the girlfriend was not his second sister.

This is a bit interesting, the last time he met the other party in [Ke Ruyun], even if the other party moved out the second sister, it seemed that he was only a friend.

But I was scolded by my second sister, and even sued, so that I could only be confined at home these days.

Therefore, judging from the degree of concern of the second sister, she must like the other party without a doubt.

Then can I do some small actions, such as reconciling with the other party?Tell him the news that your second sister likes her?
The second sister likes him herself, and with her internal support, the little anchor should be able to catch him easily.

At that time, as Yue Lao, will his family status be improved?

After all, if I helped them pull the red line, both of them had to be polite to me.

In his opinion, the second sister was afraid of other people's gossip, so she didn't dare to do it.

As for whether he would tell Li Xiao the news, Li Xiao would not agree. He really hadn't considered this kind of situation. After all, being able to marry the daughter of a big boss of a tens of billions of companies, would anyone refuse such a good thing?
No one can refuse such a pie that falls from the sky. This is no longer a matter of saving years of struggle, but a matter of saving a few lifetimes of struggle.
