#224 - A fight between legal lolita (2 in 1)
The meeting place for Candied Haws and the Sugar Sugar Sisters was chosen on a street near the university town of Jianghai University.
There was a unique cat café called 'Cat's Tea'.
As Candied Haws pushed open the door, she was greeted by adorable cat paintings hanging on the walls.
A slight flicker of emotion appeared on her usually indifferent face.
She found the Sugar Sugar Sisters already waiting for her at a window seat.
Cat's Tea had a small cat plushie next to each seat, which was also a favorite of Candied Haws.
In fact, after stepping into this café, a rush of memories flooded her mind.
When she was a trainee idol in Sweetness Girls 101, she and the Sugar Sugar Sisters often gathered here to share their dreams and plans.
However, times have changed.
The good sisters of the past had become rivals who were hostile to each other.
But who could be blamed for all this?
Wasn't it the Sugar Sugar Sisters who betrayed her first?
As soon as the Sugar Sugar Sisters saw Candied Haws, they quickly stood up with smiles to greet her.
The eldest sister, Tang Wanru, said with a smile, "Candied Haws... oh no, Sister Yang, do you still remember this cat café? We used to always gather here to play board games."
"Heh, those are all things of the past, let's not mention them."
A hint of indifference flashed in Candied Haws' eyes as she said lightly.
She didn't miss the past, because the dark history of being kicked out of the girl group was a lingering shadow in her heart.
The Sugar Sugar Sisters didn't notice the change in Candied Haws' expression.
The second sister, Tiao Tiao Tang, tried to close the distance, grinning and revealing her small canine teeth at the corners of her mouth, as she chattered about the past.
"Sister Yang, do you remember Ms. Lin Ming, the owner here, once adopted a stray lion cat?
That lion cat was very unruly at first, often knocking things over. We had to come over every weekend to watch Miss Lin Ming and the lion cat battle wits and courage..."
Candied Haws took a sip of the coffee in front of her, and expressionlessly raised her hand to interrupt her reminiscing:
"We're not members of the girl group anymore, let the past be the past.
You didn't ask me here today just to reminisce, did you?"
The Sugar Sugar Sisters looked at each other, they certainly felt the haze in Candied Haws' heart.
So, Tang Wanru said with a smile:
"Sister Yang, actually, we're here to discuss the development and future of our respective live streaming platforms.
You also know that our Peach Garden Township company recently launched a platform called Peach Garden Lightyear. The three of us happen to be the operation directors.
And Sister Yang, you are in charge of Leopard Tooth's operations. Why don't we join forces and make the live streaming market bigger?"
Candied Haws finished her coffee, stood up expressionlessly.
She didn't want to stay any longer, but coldly left a sentence:
"If it's just for this kind of thing, then there's no need to ask me over, an email would have sufficed.
But since I'm here, I can tell you directly - those who walk different paths cannot make plans together!"
With that, she was about to leave.
The second sister, Tiao Tiao Tang, with her fiery temper, couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately stood up and scolded in a delicate voice:
"(#`O′) Hey, we kindly asked you out to catch up and treat you to a meal, what's with this attitude? We don't owe you anything!"
Although it was a scolding, her soft, sweet voice only made her sound like a howling kitten, fierce but cute.
The surrounding customers couldn't help but look over here.
Four beautiful girls appearing in the café at the same time was a rare sight.
They all sighed in their hearts:
How cute~
After the second sister, Tiao Tiao Tang, played the angry role, the eldest sister, Mian Hua Tang, quickly stood up to act as a peacemaker, saying earnestly:
"Sister Yang, actually, I know that you have resentment towards the other sisters in your heart because of the previous withdrawal from the group.
But you can completely trust the three of us. We didn't do anything against you at the time, we didn't stab you in the back..."
Candied Haws slightly clenched her pink fist, and also replied in a fierce but cute voice:
"But, you kept silent. When I needed support the most, you didn't stand up and argue with the manager.
We clearly lived in the same dormitory for so long.
You should know that I'm not that kind of person!
It was clearly that senior from 'Eastern Bulletproof' who spoke rudely first, plus there was the protection of 'Genie Turtle Firm',
But you still didn't stand on the same line as me!
Silence means betrayal!"
The eldest sister, Tang Wanru, said softly:
"But... you're still willing to meet with us, right?"
Candied Haws instantly broke down when she heard this.
Her delicate body trembled slightly with excitement:
"Y-you, you, you, don't be so narcissistic!
I'm not here to reminisce, but to tell you that your betrayal will one day make you pay the price!
Leopard Tooth Live and Peach Garden Lightyear will only be incompatible in the future, wash your necks and wait, hmph! ╭(╯^╰)╮"
The sweet, soft voices of the four beautiful girls arguing sounded like a group of kittens meowing at each other to grab small dried fish in the ears of other customers.
They pretended to drink the coffee in front of them while silently chanting in their hearts.
Argue a little more, we love to listen.
Just then, Lin Ming, the owner of Cat's Tea, walked over.
"Children, arguing is not good."
Candied Haws didn't stay any longer, and strode away, leaving the Sugar Sugar Sisters embarrassed and at a loss at the table.
"Sorry boss, sorry for disturbing your business, but... we're not children."
Tang Wanru smiled.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, this scene just now looked like four little lolis arguing, they were actually all legal lolis,
They are all mature women!
At least they think so.
...
Lin Ming's face twitched, she exchanged a few polite words, and then left.
She returned to the counter and continued to turn on her phone for live streaming.
And the platform she was live streaming on was Peach Garden Lightyear.
"Sorry, family, there was a little friction between the guests just now, but it's okay now.
Please allow me to continue to introduce our store's signature signboard, the lion cat Simba!
How should I say it, this poor little thing was picked up by me from the street when she was very young. I fought wits and courage with her for many years at that time."
The live stream's comments were swarming:
"Wow, pure white fur and different colored eyes, Simba is so handsome, just like a real lion!"
"This breed of lion cat doesn't seem to be easy to buy in pet stores. I've always wanted to raise one. Boss, you're so lucky!"
"The boss looks like a very loving sister. I happen to be local to Jianghai too. Where is the store? I'll go visit when I have time."
Looking at the popularity of the live stream's comments, Lin Ming's heart was also full of a sense of accomplishment.
Originally, she didn't have much hope when she came to the Peach Garden Lightyear live streaming platform. Basically, she was just trying anything, just participating.
But compared with other live streaming platforms, Peach Garden Lightyear did give her, a streamer who loves to share a leisurely life, plenty of exposure.
This also allowed her to gain 30,000 fans in just over a month.
Of course, the most important thing is that she can use this live stream to attract traffic to her 'Cat's Tea'.
The most ⊥new⊥small⊥say⊥is⊥at⊥six⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥first⊥send!
However, before she could be happy for a while, she glanced around the store again and frowned again.
The reason is simple. Recently, the capital of the Liu Group has begun to take over the commercial district operation of this Jianghai University Town.
In other words, this block has also become competitive recently, and the competition is quite fierce.
Several fast food restaurants and tea shops across the street have been knocked down by the Liu Group, and then the Liu Group's negotiation experts will enter and acquire the shops at very cheap prices, and then rebuild them into the group's chain stores.
The Liu Group has repeatedly used this viral commercial district occupation strategy.
Soon, the Cat's Tea where Lin Ming was located also began to become precarious and in danger.
The flow of customers has decreased sharply, and the cost of the store is still high. Lin Ming has no confidence in the future of this store.
Negotiation experts from the Liu Group have called her several times last week.
They have been trying to lower the price and take over this store.
On the one hand, Lin Ming doesn't like the Liu Group's extreme pressure, and on the other hand, she herself has a lot of feelings for this store.
If it really can't be operated due to a broken capital chain, then she also hopes that this store can be transferred to someone who truly loves it.
But, is there really such a sucker boss?
Lin Ming sighed, cheered up, and continued to start the live broadcast.
...
At the same time, at a street corner somewhere in the pedestrian street.
Candied Haws walked straight out of the café and walked along the bustling commercial street, but countless contradictions and bitterness surged in her heart.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is now a successful person, a popular star,
But only she herself understands that she is just holding on.
In her mind, the figures of the Sugar Sugar Sisters began to blur, replaced by the manager's sarcastic remarks.
"You're just a junior in the girl group, don't think too highly of yourself."
Candied Haws subconsciously clenched her pink fist.
In fact, she understood that
The Sugar Sugar Sisters at that time were also involuntarily.
Which of the trainees who abandoned their studies and ran to become idols had an easy life? No one had the courage to ignore their future and run over to confront the manager.
It was useless for her to vent her anger on the Sugar Sugar Sisters.
If she learned anything from the experience of leaving the group, it was that
This world is extremely realistic, extremely snobbish, and extremely survival of the fittest...
"Since this world has taught me these things, then I can only become a qualified competitor."
...
The next day, Leopard Tooth Live's official platform suddenly announced a series of new cooperation agreements with partners in various fields.
First, Leopard Tooth Live announced an exclusive cooperation with a well-known fashion brand to hold multiple joint new product launches.
In addition, Leopard Tooth Live will launch a Healthy Living Season event, joining hands with healthy food and home furnishing brands to launch a series of healthy living programs, including nutritional meal cooking live broadcasts, fitness training, etc.
This event brought together first-line streamers from the fashion and lifestyle areas, attracting millions of fans to watch online.
Coincidentally, many of the partners on this event list had just cooperated with Peach Garden Lightyear.
Even the revised Leopard Tooth Live's commercial sponsorship gift model was the same as Peach Garden Lightyear.
So, without a doubt, this event was aimed at Peach Garden Lightyear!
Secondly, the official announced a strategic cooperation with many large game companies in the industry.
This includes both Youyi, as well as Tenghui and Nanshanju.
All streamers who come to the Leopard Tooth platform to live stream these games will receive high subsidies, limited-time internal testing and other privileges.
This measure is also aimed at Peach Garden Lightyear's game live broadcast area.
Afterwards, Leopard Tooth Live also announced that it will jointly create a large-scale variety show with the top domestic entertainment company,
This variety show will invite many popular stars, including Su Yufan, to interact with fans through live broadcasts.
And this form is obviously aimed at the interaction between virtual streamer Melissa and the audience.
Of course, the most important news is that Leopard Tooth Live will sign an exclusive cooperation with domestic vtuber guilds.
Leopard Tooth Live will provide comprehensive support for potential virtual streamers, launch idol streamer training camps, and reduce the competitiveness of Peach Garden Township Live in the entertainment field.
...
After this series of cooperation news was announced, the entire network exploded.
"Leopard Tooth Live is really serious this time!
"From fashion shows to virtual vtubers, the ambition is really big."
"This live broadcast room has good benefits. It's obvious that they are referring to Peach Garden Township's model. Keep it up. If you are more conscientious, I can consider switching platforms."
...
At this time, the Sugar Sugar Sisters sitting in the office had expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Because many of the partners currently announced by Leopard Tooth Live are very similar to the advertising sponsors that Peach Garden Lightyear had just signed with.
They have reason to suspect that Leopard Tooth Live sent people to squat and check all the cooperation live broadcast rooms of Peach Garden Lightyear, and then looked for the other party to cooperate one by one.
This is simply a Sharingan-level replica of the business model.
It seems that the Liu Group has once again exerted its traditional skills, taking other people's paths and leaving them with nowhere to go!
The Sugar Sugar Sisters had no experience in operating a project after all. Where had they seen such a battle before? They were directly panicked.
"What should we do? Should we ask President Lu?"
