Chapter 479 - 398: Principal Wang Requests to Connect, Mother’s Day

On the screen in front of Wu Yun, the live comments started scrolling wildly again.

"That was from the announcement a few days ago, which is why it said ’to be determined.’ In the past few days, our company has received a response from the Bird’s Nest Management and has secured the usage rights for the days of the finals."

Seeing that some people in the comments didn’t believe him, Wu Yun offered a brief explanation.

When they first contacted Management a few days ago, they did run into some obstacles. After all, the usage period was quite long, and the normal process had gotten stuck with the leadership.

Helpless, Wu Yun reached out to his maternal grandfather for the first time. Shortly after, the company received a reply from Management and successfully obtained the usage rights.

"As for teams, you can create one just by registering with your own account on the official website! Please note, once the competition begins, one account can only join one team!"

Wu Yun answered a few more questions about PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds before saying, "Alright, alright! That’s all for the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds topic. If you have any other questions, you can leave a message on the official website or call our customer service."

Just then, Qi Fei walked in with a plate of fruit. Knowing that Wu Yun was live streaming, she stayed out of the camera’s view and simply handed the plate to him.

Some viewers jokingly asked if she was Wu Yun’s girlfriend. The tone of the comments immediately shifted, with many leaving messages saying they wanted to see President Wu’s girlfriend.

Of course, there were also some female viewers who were just joking around, all declaring that they were Wu Yun’s woman.

Wu Yun just smiled and changed the subject.

"President Wu, who’s richer, you or Principal Wang?" another comment floated by. The stream of comments seemed to hit a pause button. After a two-second stop, viewers all started agreeing with the question.

Just as Wu Yun was about to speak, he saw a flashy, colorful comment float across the screen.

"I admit I’m definitely not as rich as President Wu!"

This was Principal Wang’s exclusive account, which many viewers recognized.

But there were also those who were habitually contrarian, saying, "I admit I’m not as rich as you, but my family is definitely richer than yours!"

Wu Yun just smiled and didn’t say anything.

The flashy, colorful comment appeared again: "President Wu, would it be convenient to connect for a call?"

"Sure!" Wu Yun nodded.

As soon as Wu Yun agreed, a pop-up notification for a connection request appeared.

A relatively young voice came through the headset: "President Wu, hello! I’m Wang Congcong!"

"Hello, Principal Wang!"

Since his rebirth, Wu Yun had already met many figures he could never have approached in his previous life. So now, as he connected with the man known as Huaxia’s number one rich heir, Principal Wang, he was completely unfazed. In fact, he knew Principal Wang was the one seeking to befriend him, perhaps even to ask for his help.

Seeing Wu Yun’s calm and composed demeanor, Principal Wang, who had a notoriously short fuse, decided to get straight to the point. "President Wu, I was wondering what your thoughts are on the live streaming industry?"

Wu Yun understood immediately, a confident and knowing look on his face. "I think the live streaming industry has a great deal of potential!"

"Oh? How so?"

Wu Yun picked up a washed strawberry from the plate, took a bite, and swallowed before speaking. "I believe that as phones become smarter and their functions more powerful, it will definitely stimulate the expansion of the live streaming industry. Of course! The development of phones won’t just stimulate live streaming; other industries will be impacted all the same!"

"To get back to the point, with the development of mobile phones, live streaming will break its dependency on computer-based studios!"

"Therefore, both the number of streamers and the number of viewers will grow in leaps and bounds."

Wu Yun spoke in broad terms, intentionally leaving out future trends like live stream e-commerce.

Hearing Wu Yun’s analysis, Principal Wang revealed his purpose: "Since President Wu is so optimistic about it, would you be interested in a partnership?"

Wu Yun smiled and said, "I’m afraid not. The ceiling for the current live streaming industry is too low. I’m not that interested."

Principal Wang wasn’t annoyed by Wu Yun’s words; after all, he hadn’t stated his main purpose yet.

Listening to their conversation, the viewers—acting as gossip-hungry onlookers—were naturally hoping to stir up some trouble.

"President Wu is truly on another level, looking down on a small track like live streaming!"

"It’s true. After all, President Wu makes so much from just one of his games! And with a super-popular mobile game like Honor of Kings, he’s long since been above competing in these fierce, low-ceiling channels."

"Don’t you guys forget Little Red Car, and that article from last year estimating President Wu’s net worth. It must have gone up by several levels this year!"

Many viewers sitting in front of their screens suddenly gasped. Wu Yun’s net worth might even rank in the top 50 in the country, or maybe even the top 20.

"Hahaha, President Wu’s ambitions are truly grand. I’m humbled!" Principal Wang laughed heartily and continued, "Actually, I have another reason for contacting you, President Wu. How about this? Let’s exchange contact information and talk privately. Even if we can’t be partners, it would be good to be friends!"

Wu Yun was a little surprised. This Principal Wang was rumored to have a rather bad temper; before his rebirth, Wu Yun had even read news about him getting into fights and paying compensation.

’It’s surprising my last words didn’t provoke him. It seems Principal Wang’s temper depends on who he’s talking to.’

One doesn’t hit a smiling face, as they say. Wu Yun then replied, "Alright. Send me your phone number and WeChat privately. I’ll add you after the stream ends."

Principal Wang: "Great! That’s the plan then! I’m logging off. I’m going to go play some of your PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. I’ll set up a professional team for IG!"

Wu Yun knew this was Principal Wang’s way of showing goodwill. Publicly announcing his intention to participate in the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament was a form of support for the game.

"Sounds good! Let’s play together sometime!"

After Principal Wang logged off, Wu Yun chatted with the viewers for a while longer. Just as he was about to end the stream, he remembered what he had said that afternoon about Honor of Kings.
