Kevin Lin sprang up from his chair in shock. "Come here? To the outpost?! "
"Based on my judgment, he will definitely come. He will arrive on planet Baiji in two days, "Fang Zhao replied.
Kevin Lin's eyebrows twitched. This news had hit him hard. His brain rapidly weighed the pros and cons.
The room quietened down. Fang Zhao did not disturb him and let Kevin Lin analyze the situation in detail.
In a few short minutes, Kevin Lin thought a lot.
"What you mean is that you intend to let him take over your position and conduct a live broadcast?" Kevin Lin asked.
Zaro was an internet celebrity, and he was also known as Leizhou's number one internet celebrity. He was also a celebrity. Although Zaro's acting skills were unflattering, his sense for variety shows... was rather strong!
Leizhou's number one internet celebrity was not an exaggeration. If Zaro joined, the audience would surely be even bigger. However, "Isn't this a little inconsistent with channel S5's original philosophy?"
Given Zaro's unconventional and arrogant attitude and flamboyant way of doing things, Kevin Lin felt that it would be too difficult to coordinate well with him.
Kevin Lin's expression was solemn. "Zaro is really good at attracting fans. Although most of the time, he makes people want to beat him up, he does raise his popularity." He was seriously analyzing this problem. Based on the number of views and online views, Zaro's addition would certainly keep channel S5 popular and trending, but was it worth it?
"Fang Zhao, you also know that channel S5's previous audience members are older. Will they like Zaro's live broadcast method?" Kevin Lin felt that Zaro's fans, whether they were true fans or haters, were generally younger. There were very few who were older than tens or hundreds of years. If Zaro was allowed to do a live broadcast, would the audience of the past give up? Kevin Lin was not too willing. After all, there were quite a number of people who worked in relevant departments. The opinions of retired elders were also very important.
"Actually, you can think about it from another angle," Fang Zhao said. Fang Zhao said, "Think about it. Why is Zaro the favorite of Leizhou's governor in his generation?"
The Renault family had developed to this day and had already become an enormous family clan. There were many elites among Zaro's generation, and there were also people like Zaro who didn't follow the rules. But why was the governor of the Renault state biased towards Zaro?
Kevin Lin agreed with what Fang Zhao had just said. "That's right. Now that you think about it, it makes sense."
"Furthermore, Zaro's identity can help you obtain even more explosive news," Fang Zhao continued.
Kevin Lin nodded again. He had thought of this as well. No matter what, Zaro's surname was Renault. On this planet, Zaro's mother's company was underwriting the projects. The troops from the Leizhou military district also had trusted aides from the Renault family. With Zaro around, things would indeed be more convenient.
Fang Zhao's words caused Kevin Lin to sink into deep thought. He was indeed prejudiced, but if he continued to maintain this attitude, it would only make him seem narrow-minded.
Just as Fang Zhao had said previously, although Zaro's attitude was sometimes very infuriating, he had never done anything evil.
"That's true. How would we know if we don't try?" Kevin Lin finally made his decision. Afterward, he used Baiji military district's communications network to send a message to Zaro to discuss cooperation.
The stars designated by Project Starlight could not be changed easily, but Fang Zhao's situation was special. Shanta had already settled the matter. All Fang Zhao needed to do was to arrange a replacement.
While Kevin Lin and Zaro's agent were discussing the cooperation, Fang Zhao also contacted the two elders in faraway Yanzhou.
"What?! Go to planet Baiji? Military family accommodation, but is your rank sufficient... Oh, so that's how it is... Go! Of course go! No problem. Recently, I have been idle. Nothing has happened... "Great-Grandfather Fang could not suppress his excitement. His aged eyes glowed with excitement.
Great-Grandmother Fang glanced at Great-Grandfather Fang. Yesterday, this old man had planned an activity with a few other elders in the retirement facility. They had said that while they could still move, they would take a look at other continents and go on a global tour. She had never expected to receive such news today. However, if she had been given the choice, it would have been the same. If she could go to planet Baiji, of course she would go. As for other matters, they would be tossed to the back of their minds.
The most glorious years of their lives had been spent in the military. Now that they were so old, they had thought that they would just be idling away in the retirement facility. They had never imagined that they would actually be able to go on a long-distance trip, and to the recently popular Baiji military district.
For the two elders, this had extraordinary significance.
After ending the call, Great-Grandfather Fang excitedly told Great-Grandmother Fang, "Quick, quick, quick, pack your things. Let's go to Yanzhou military district. Little Zhao said that they will send us to the space station. Then, together with the other military family members, we will board the third transport ship to planet Baiji."
Actually, the two elders did not have many things. After all, they had both served in the military and understood the procedures very well. If they brought too much, they would be stopped at security. Some electronic devices were also not allowed. Many things in the military family quarters were distributed by the military district.
Therefore, it only took half an hour to pack up. In the remaining time, Great-Grandfather Fang went out to show off. "Old friends, whatever global tour, you guys go ahead. This old man wants to personally go to planet Baiji to pick up my grandson!"
On the day of departure, Great-Grandfather Fang pulled his suitcase and took a photo with Great-Grandmother Fang. He posted it on social media with the caption:
"Set off for planet Baiji!"
After this status was posted, the number of comments increased rapidly, but Great-Grandfather Fang did not read them. He had to hurry on his way after showing off a bit.
Under the envious gazes of everyone in the retirement facility, Great-Grandfather Fang and Great-Grandmother Fang boarded a flying car headed for Yanzhou military district.
On planet Baiji, the day before Fang Zhao left planet Baiji, at the end of his live broadcast, he said to the camera, "Due to a last-minute mission, I have to leave for a period of time. During this time, someone will take over my position and continue to broadcast on channel S5. I believe everyone will be pleasantly surprised."
The news that Fang Zhao released caused a heated discussion among the audience.
"Fang Zhao is on a mission? Isn't he just a conscript? Why is there another mission? What secret mission can't be revealed? "
"What I am more concerned about is who will take over Fang Zhao's live broadcast."
"Based on planet Baiji's current popularity, it should be a bigger star to take over Fang Zhao's live broadcast. Otherwise, it won't be possible."
"It could also be a military officer. After all, channel S5's style is different from other channels."
"Maybe there is some shady deal involved."
Regardless of the discussions online, "First Frontline" did not reveal any useful information about the replacement.
It wasn't that no one had guessed it would be Zaro, but the moment it was raised, it was shot down. Could Zaro handle channel S5's style? If Zaro was really used, channel S5's accumulated reputation and reputation would be ruined!
Thus, everyone focused their guesses on celebrities who had recently become popular and which celebrity had not made an appearance during this period.
To give his fans a surprise, Zaro did not publicly reveal his whereabouts. Ever since he had decided to leave for planet Baiji, he had started a series of preparations. There had been no activity on his public platform for many days.
To netizens, this was simply abnormal!
The last piece of news regarding Zaro had been about him going to the Leizhou governor's official residence. Because the governor was involved, although Leizhou's major entertainment media had captured a video, they had only released a piece of news in a low-profile manner. They did not dare let their imaginations run wild. In any case, Zaro going to the governor's official residence was not a rare occurrence. Perhaps the reason he had been quiet during this period was because he had made a mistake and had been locked up in his room by the governor?
When Zaro arrived on planet Baiji, Fang Zhao had already left.
Not long after, a flying transport set off from the base and headed for Outpost 23.
The flying transport was different from the one used by Baiji military district. It was a different model and had the words "Luo Bu Construction Works" printed on it.
Luo Bu Construction Works was a leading enterprise in Leizhou's construction industry. It was also the family business of Zaro's mother. This time, they had contracted a large project on planet Baiji. Zaro's mother was an executive at Luo Bu Construction Works.
On the flying transport, Zaro looked down at the scenery of planet Baiji. "The climate here is pleasant, flowers and trees flourish, and the clouds are thin..."
Zaro's agent was calmly organizing information on Outpost 23. He did not even raise his head when he heard this. "Be more direct. Express your purpose in a more direct manner."
"I suddenly don't feel like eating watermelon." This time, it was simple and clear.
Zaro's agent's expression was like the deep sea when there was no wind. He silently stared at Zaro for a few seconds before saying, "Senior Master..."
Zaro raised his hand to interrupt his agent and corrected him. "Please call me Smiling Angel."
Alright, don't eat watermelon, don't plant watermelon. Zaro's agent was already numb to Zaro's constant changing of mind. As for Smiling Angel, that was definitely a halo Zaro had given himself at the last minute.
Zaro's agent said solemnly, "The governor said that this time, we must bring about a positive and positive impact. You promised."
"I know. Positive and positive, isn't it just smiling more and not quarreling? Therefore, coming here, I am no longer Leizhou's Senior Master. In the future, please call me Smiling Angel. "
Zaro's agent: "... I feel that your understanding of the governor's words might differ from mine."
Zaro's tone was sincere. "Trust me. There is no mistake."
"You said the same thing when we invested in a 100-episode web series. In the end, we lost 90 million."
Zaro pretended not to hear anything and gazed outside. "Hey, I can already see Outpost 23!"
At the outpost, Kevin Lin had already received the news and was waiting there.
Today, Zaro had changed into a fluorescent yellow jacket, as if he was afraid that others would not notice him.
Zaro looked at the people around him and asked, "Where's Fang Zhao?"
"He has already left planet Baiji. Senior Master, do you have a message for him?" Kevin Lin asked.
Zaro raised his hand and waved it off. "Nothing else. Tell him to go in peace!"
Kevin Lin: "..." These words were not pleasing to the ear.
"All right, cut the crap. Quick, camera, lighting, cameraman, hairdresser... Forget it, I didn't bring a hairdresser. Everyone, get into position. I am preparing to go live." Zaro quickly got into his role.
Fan Lin, who was standing to the side, had thought that Zaro would look for him first when he arrived. He had not expected that Zaro would first think of a live broadcast. Fan Lin did not say much and silently walked to the side. In any case, he had not thought of how to converse with this famous Leizhou young master.
While Zaro was struggling with his image, Kevin Lin had a short conversation with Zaro's agent. Zaro's agent told Kevin Lin that Zaro was actually not as useless as people thought, and his body was not that weak.
During Zaro's university service, his dad had sent him to the military for a year of training before he had been released. He had not left the planet and had served in the Leizhou military. This matter was not considered a secret. During that time, videos had been leaked, showing Zaro's daily training. It had been tough and not as leisurely as people thought, so he had often been assigned some manual labor. In terms of survivability and marksmanship, Zaro was better than many celebrities. No matter how unconventional he was, his surname was Renault.
Kevin Lin had set up the live broadcast signal in advance for channel S5 viewers to get ready to watch.
Five minutes later, the camera switched to live broadcast mode.
Zaro faced the camera and flashed a brilliant smile that he thought was full of sincerity.
"Hello everyone! I am the mysterious person who will be taking over Fang Zhao's live broadcast ~ "
Online audiences: "..."
"Are you surprised? Are you surprised? Are you happy?! "
Online audiences: "..."
"I will be spreading love and justice in channel S5's upcoming live broadcast. From now on, please call me Leizhou's Smiling Angel!"
