System: Master Your Life

Before the live interview began, Xu Lin went into the conference room once more.

This conference room is where the interview will be conducted later.

Xu Lin saw a small table the height of a coffee table and two single-seater sofas.

These single-seater sofas are where he and Ye Yuqing will sit later.

"How do I shoot without showing my face later?"

Xu Lin went to ask the staff adjusting the camera equipment over there.

"Mr. Xu, it's like this, you sit on this sofa, take a look..."

The staff led Xu Lin behind the camera.

Xu Lin glanced at it and realized what was going on. It turns out the camera is aimed right at the nearest sofa.

This sofa is just back to the camera, so when Xu Lin sits on this sofa, he's facing away from the camera, doesn't have to show his face, and opposite him is Ye Yuqing's sofa, which faces the camera.

"This works too!"

Xu Lin felt it was alright.

"Mr. Xu, why don't you want to show your face?"

Ye Yuqing walked over, her beautiful eyes twinkling, "You have such great looks, such a strong presence; even in the entertainment industry, I can't find anyone who can substitute for you!"

"My Douyin and Xiaohongshu will probably both exceed 20 million followers soon, assuming no overlap, that's equivalent to 40 million followers across my platforms. How many celebrities in the entertainment industry have numbers like mine?"

"Isn't Mr. Xu debuting right on the spot? Great looks, height, and talent. I can't even imagine how famous you'd become if you debuted!"

"I would probably surpass Brother Qian!"

Xu Lin was not modest at all, as Brother Qian was the former top star in the domestic entertainment industry.

"Who is Brother Qian?"

"Miss Ye, you're out of line for not even knowing Kris Wu."

"Ah, it's him! But why do you call him Brother Qian?"

Ye Yuqing pretended not to know.

"Why don't you look it up online?"

Xu Lin said.

"Can you help me search?"

"That's not possible; you need to have a proactive learning mindset!"

Tsk!

Trying to flirt with me, that's not going to work. Xu Lin felt like the quintessential unapproachable man at this moment.

"Alright, I'll look it up then!"

Ye Yuqing opened Douyin and started searching, later finding an explanation in the comments of a video.

"How annoying! Isn't this so cliché?"

Ye Yuqing acted coquettishly.

Xu Lin chuckled but said nothing, knowing this woman was just pretending to be innocent around him.

A woman in her twenties can't be so innocent, especially when she's a female host. Hosts and entertainment stars are similar; they need to present themselves to the public and have high appearance standards. In any field where looks are crucial, it's a messy world with a mix of different personalities. No one is naive, and everyone's savvy. Xu Lin didn't believe her for a second.

"Mr. Xu, Miss Ye, these are the interview questions for later; have a look."

At this moment, another staff member brought over two documents.

Actually, when opened, there were only two pages, both single-sided with questions on the front and blank on the back.

There were a total of eighteen questions.

For example:

Question: How did Mr. Xu get into writing novels?

Question: What was the inspiration for Mr. Xu's book?

Question: What are Mr. Xu's future creative plans?

And some more personal questions.

Question: Why doesn't Mr. Xu want to show his face?

Question: What is Mr. Xu like in real life?

Question: Where did Mr. Xu go to school? How do you balance your creation and studies?

Xu Lin glanced at them and felt the questions were okay, not too tricky.

How should I answer them?

With his excellent memory, Xu Lin already memorized the eighteen questions, and his brain started spinning quickly, soon figuring out how to answer them.

"How long until the interview starts?"

Xu Lin asked the staff.

"Mr. Xu, fifteen minutes left!"

"Ok, by the way, where's the bathroom?"

"Mr. Xu, this way, let me take you!"

Xu Lin followed the staff, used the bathroom, and came out.

There were eleven minutes until the interview began.

Eleven minutes passed quickly.

Finally, the time for the live interview arrived.

The website had announced it three days prior, and now as the live stream began, the announcement popped up again on the novel software end, webpage end, and writer's back end.

Of course, this kind of traffic isn't substantial.

More importantly, the website bought a trending spot.

Title: Mr. Xu's Live Interview!

With one wave of promotion, the website soared to a mid-tier trending position.

Thousands of netizens clicked in, some following the live stream link, redirecting to the live streaming platform.

"Here it comes, here it comes!"

"Mr. Xu interview?"

"Wow! The host is gorgeous; those legs are fantastic!"

In the footage, Ye Yuqing came out first. Although it's single-digit temperature weather in Jiangdu, colder at night, there is heating indoors.

So people saw Ye Yuqing wearing a white suit and a white pencil skirt, which was relatively short, so her legs were exposed.

Nowadays, female hosts usually show off their legs, except for a few large television stations like CCTV that keep things formal. Other more entertainment-based TV stations or platforms have female hosts showing their legs, like in game shows, sports commentaries, etc. Few hosts don't show their legs, mainly to attract viewers.
