Chapter 3

Marc looked disgusted after hearing the original video concept. He said, "The fans had already been bored of seeing this kind of small talk between small women all day long."

“The content of the video should be explosive and conflictual, you guys don't understand this kind of advanced filming technique, right?” he said.

He proposed changing the video content. He would play the role of a domineering president, Stella would be the sweet, submissive wife and I would be the vicious girlfriend who was creating trouble.

The man actually believed no one could see he was scheming. This move would make him the main character while Stella and I were reduced to his sidekicks. So, obviously, I refused.

“Don’t be difficult for no reason! I’m doing this for our own benefit. Nowadays, every influencer is trying to reinvent themselves, so if you keep recycling the same content, you’ll be left behind!” Marc snapped impatiently.

What a load of crap!

Our account was obviously at the place when the traffic was at its best. It means the market nowadays likes this kind of content. So, even if we did want to rebrand, now was not the time.

However, Marc was so self-centered, that he could not handle a single opposition at all.

“Well, Stella and I both agreed. That’s two against one, so the majority rules. You can join or leave,” he said smugly.

I looked at Stella as I silently asked her.

She avoided my eyes, while hiding behind Marc and whispered, “Marie, just try Marc's way once, okay? We have that lipstick and deal, and if we don’t shoot something soon, we’ll breach the contract .…”

Now she remembered about breaching the contract.

I was so angry I could feel my heart shaking. However, I masked the ache and worked together with them to shoot the video.

The moment we posted the new video, with a totally different style, it caused a strong reaction from the fans.

“I hate to say it, but I’m out.”

"What's going on with this sudden change of style? You didn't give us any heads-up at all! Can you at least consider how your fans feel?”

“Who is this guy? Does he really think he’s hot? He’s gross and sleazy.”

“Two beautiful women are so eye-catching, but they have to insert a pig-headed man, is this account going to take the funny route?”

“Isn’t this Stella’s boyfriend? I think she mentioned she was dating.”

“No way! I hate this kind of sisterhood business, one of them is in love and she demands to drag a man into the business, it's even more disgusting than eating a fly.”

The negative comments flooded the video.

Marc was unabashed. Instead, he patted himself on the back as he said, "See, how great I am? The number of comments on one of my videos is worth ten of yours.”

I was standing at the side with my hands folded in my chest and sneered, "Yeah, right. It gathered ten times bad reviews and got twenty times fewer likes. What a win!"

Marc snorted coldly, “You're just jealous of me, you women are just small-minded, nothing like a big man like me who is dedicated to his career.”

A man who lived off his girlfriend thought highly of himself. Perhaps he was hallucinating because he had eaten too much of toxic mushrooms.

Since he was so sure of himself, let him face the backlash.

The next day, when I went live broadcast, the number of people online in the live room soared to one hundred thousand people. Almost all of them were there to roast Marc.

However, he just smiled and popped champagne in the live broadcast room to celebrate the boost of the traffic.

He brushed off the negative comments as "he was still learning in filming", "this is part of the transition process", "they are trolls" and "they are the losers who are jealous of him."

Marc's strategy to cope with it was to shoot more videos so the fans would get used to the new styles.

Only someone like him would force fans to accept loads of garbage.

I thought he had already stooped pretty low and yet, I did not realize some people dare to use any underhanded tactics for the sake of profit.

During one of our livestreams, just as I was introducing a product .…
