"Why are so many officials entering my stream?" Chu Qian wondered, slightly startled.
Had she done something wrong? Or were they also interested in the deceitful tactics of market vendors? Shaking off these thoughts, she was more astonished by the rapid increase in her viewers. Her stream had surged from 2,000 to over 9,000 viewers in mere moments, making her broadcast a hit on the platform without any fake viewers.
The system in her mind kept updating her on the soaring popularity, reaching tens of thousands of points. Remembering that one viewer could represent more than one person watching together, she was overwhelmed.
A rocket sound effect played, and a rocket icon appeared on everyone's screen – a big donor had sent a gift, expressing gratitude for exposing the market's dark side. Soon, the stream was bombarded with gifts, some out of appreciation, others out of admiration for Chu Qian's bravery. Chu Qian was surprised that her first gift surge came not from typical means but from exposing a market scam. Was this what people were into these days?
Just then, the shop owner lost her temper, her face turning purple with rage. She grabbed Chu Qian's phone from the scale and threatened her, demanding that she make a purchase or face consequences. The viewers were alarmed, expressing concern and humor in the chat.
The viewers debated the situation, worrying about Chu Qian's safety, given the shop owner's aggressive behavior. Suddenly, the marketplace turned silent as everyone turned their attention to the scene. There were three distinct groups: the shop owner and her allies, onlookers enjoying the drama, and Chu Qian herself.
Chu Qian, sensing the hostile atmosphere, calmly refused to buy. The shop owner then threw a tantrum on the ground, accusing Chu Qian of bullying and manipulating her. The viewers in the live stream were worried for Chu Qian, not wanting her to be coerced into buying anything.
Out of nowhere, a tall, handsome man in chef's attire intervened, calming the shop owner down. The live chat erupted with admiration for the man's intervention, relieved that Chu Qian was safe.
The man, claiming to be Chu Qian's friend, diffused the situation and led her away from the scene, even though Chu Qian didn't know him. She complied, considering the number of onlookers.
Meanwhile, at the DouShark streaming platform headquarters, the executives were as stressed as the Market Supervision Bureau earlier. They watched the officials entering Chu Qian's stream with great concern, knowing that these officials were monitoring not just the marketplace but also their platform. The top executive ordered everyone to closely monitor the stream and avoid offending any officials, including the host, feeling a sense of helplessness.
