Daily Life of a Villain at Work [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Fourth Day of Troubling the Protagonist~

No brand would ever turn down free traffic and hype, especially when the target audience of the brands collaborating with Wen Qingyun is primarily female.

In topics involving gender conflict, the brands didn’t mind expressing support for Wen Qingyun. In fact, their PR departments planned to market related topics to boost their brand image.

Almost every brand offered prizes worth five figures. The most generous was the clothing brand pinned on her Weibo profile. They directly offered a 200,000-yuan brand top-up card; the winner could activate it at any store, and the balance would never expire.

Sister Xiao summarized the sponsored prizes, covering categories like clothing, food, housing, and transportation, with a total market value exceeding 1.5 million yuan. To maximize the value, Sister Xiao split the awards into two categories. Participation required only a retweet and a like—no following necessary.

The first prize was a brand-related bundle: all brand-sponsored items would be packaged together for one “super-lucky” winner to avoid diluting the hype.

The second prize was the one million yuan Wen Qingyun provided herself. Per her instructions, it was split into one hundred shares, with each winning fan receiving 10,000 yuan in cash.

Wen Qingyun had no issues with Sister Xiao’s giveaway plan, but she was slightly dissatisfied with the overly formal copywriting. After a moment’s thought, she manually added a set of parentheses at the end, typed out what she wanted to say, and posted the first giveaway Weibo.

@WenQingyunV: Big thanks to the fans who support me! To [list of prizes], one lucky fan will be selected in three days! (Currently in a “man-hating” phase, so no men will be drawn. No particular reason; my stuff, my rules.)

The dazzling array of over twenty prizes was enough to stun netizens for three minutes. Especially seeing that all these items would go to a single person, many women dug out their alternate accounts to like and retweet.

Certain men, seeing themselves explicitly excluded, immediately lost their cool and began making snide remarks in the comments.

【Heh, just a bunch of stuff for women. Flashy but useless. I wouldn’t want it even if it were free.】 【Looks like it’s worth tens of thousands, but it’s just a few rags sewn together. Probably not even as durable as the 9.9 yuan stuff on the street.】 【Women are just narrow-minded and lack vision. Truly, only women and small men are difficult to deal with.】 【Sisters, come look at the broken-hearted men—they’re so salty! Too bad being salty is useless. Our sister just won’t draw stinky men. Stay mad! Hahaha!】 【Stop pretending. Selling this stuff second-hand could net a million. Some of these older NEETs are green with envy. If you really didn’t care, you wouldn’t be saying this, Strong-bro~】

Wen Qingyun glanced at the comments. Seeing the post views soaring, she immediately posted the second giveaway.

@WenQingyunV: To celebrate my profile page views breaking ten million today, I’m picking one hundred people to send 10,000 yuan cash each. Same old rule: men, don’t even bother.

After seeing the second post, even more men reached their breaking point. Leaving aside the temptation of the cash prize, the mere fact that she was celebrating ten million views was enough to make them grit their teeth.

Wasn’t she mocking them? They had contributed a significant portion of those ten million views! And now? They weren’t invited to the giveaway? They had to do the work and take the insults? So they were the big idiots, purely providing “selfless dedication”?

What a joke! They were here to flame her, not to become the metrics that gave the mocking Wen Qingyun more money!

After their impotent rage, these men picked up their keyboards, intending to curse Wen Qingyun out and vent by insulting her family. But once they clicked on the post, they found the comment section restricted: only people Wen Qingyun followed could comment. This made them “break” all over again.

They couldn’t send DMs, they couldn’t comment—so they just had to stare blankly and swallow their anger? A literal “I’m making myself angry” situation?

What? You say go to the trending hashtags to complain and flame her? Didn’t you see her celebrating ten million views? if they did that, wouldn’t they just be helping her break 100 million views? Being a fool once was enough; they didn’t want to be “big suckers” twice!

【Congratulations Host, mission progress has increased. Current progress: 10%.】

“Pfft, how many men broke down just now?” Wen Qingyun’s lips curled up.

【Rough estimate: the number exceeds a million. This has been converted into 4.5% mission progress.】

Wen Qingyun raised an eyebrow. “Where did the other 0.5% come from?”

【Host indirectly caused the protagonist to question her life for two hours, which converted into 0.5% progress.】

Hearing it was from Chu Ke, Wen Qingyun had no more questions. She actually admired the woman for only questioning her life for two hours. Truly a protagonist—that resilience and capacity for acceptance were beyond ordinary people. She even stayed polite with that kind of old lady.

…

1:00 PM to 4:00 PM was non-broadcast time. Usually, guests used this period to adjust their state—changing clothes, fixing makeup, or having a quick meal using their own instant food.

Wen Qingyun chose a nice afternoon nap. She stayed in bed until 3:50 PM, leaving herself ten minutes to tidy her appearance.

At 4:00 PM sharp, the broadcast started on time. The cameraman gave the first shot to Wen Qingyun, focusing on her outstanding looks.

【Wen Qingyun, get out and apologize! Why did you spread rumors about a stranger!】 【Wen Qingyun is morally bankrupt! Publicly inciting gender conflict! Get out of the industry! Get out now!】

The first wave to rush in were the men who had been holding in their anger. Being so “broken,” they even temporarily ignored her beauty and just vented.

【Wait, what did Wen Qingyun do? She just spoke the truth and gave some benefits to us real fans. How is that moral bankruptcy?】 【Exactly. As if I don’t know her personality? I’ve been a hater for two years! She might be a diva, talk out of turn, and be a bit sharp-tongued, but her morals are fine. She donates more money every year than you’ll earn in a lifetime!】 【Wipes sweat It’s rare to see haters defending her. I guess you see everything if you stay in the circle long enough.】 【Haters are fans too! Only we, who have invested real emotions, can hate her! Stinky men, stay away!】

Wen Qingyun couldn’t see the chat, but she guessed they would rush in.

“Good afternoon, everyone. I posted a giveaway on my personal account. Sisters, feel free to join~” Wen Qingyun said with a smile. She made a small heart gesture to the camera and added a final blow: “Don’t worry about the cost. The views you contributed are enough to cover the ads. I’m just giving back to the female fans who support me.”

【Aaaah, get out of the industry!】 【Stinky [Censored], I [Censored] your [Censored].】 【@Admin, where’s the mod? Ban them, someone’s using foul language!】

“By the way, the more people watch my stream, the higher my appearance fee potentially goes. Thanks for all the ‘support’ from everyone in front of the screen~” Wen Qingyun added another layer of salt. Two light sentences made those men explode with rage again.

Anger? Disgust? Hatred? Resentment?

Sorry, but those emotions couldn’t hurt her through a screen; they only made her smile brighter and boosted her value and fame.

【Congratulations Host, mission progress has increased. Current progress: 12%.】

After those two verbal jabs, her villain progress jumped again—a multi-purpose win!

…

“To better fit our filming theme, the task distribution for guests will now be changed to ‘open selection.’ Different rewards will be given based on task difficulty.”

Yue Xing had learned from the near-disaster this morning and came up with new rules.

“The rewards for this task are food ingredients. You can get different dinner ingredients by completing different tasks. You can choose to cook yourselves, or ask villagers for help…”

Yue Xing spoke into his megaphone. Through the camera, one could clearly see a lanyard attached to the megaphone, hanging around his neck. His “anti-theft” measures were very obvious.

Wen Qingyun didn’t react to the rule change. After hearing it, she was the first to walk up to Chu Ke and pick a task card.

“Teacher Chu Ke, if it were you, which task would you choose?” Wen Qingyun sat opposite Chu Ke, her hands crossed on the table, tilting her head to observe her.

“Do you plan to cook your own dinner, Teacher Wen?” Chu Ke offered a polite smile; one couldn’t tell at all that she had been depressed for two hours.

“No, I can’t cook. I want to ask you to help me, Teacher Chu Ke,” Wen Qingyun said directly. “You wouldn’t refuse such a small request, would you?”

“Of course not,” Chu Ke said calmly, her expression unchanged. “In that case, I suggest you choose the potato transport task.”

Chu Ke continued: “Five hundred pounds of potatoes. A tricycle can move them in one trip. The only tiring part is loading and unloading. The reward is two tomatoes, two eggs, 800g of green vegetables, and 300g of pork. It’s enough for two dishes and a soup.”

“The staple can be rice or sweet potato porridge. I can provide those as a friendly gesture,” Chu Ke added.

“If it’s that much, I can’t finish it alone. I can share the two dishes and one soup with you,” Wen Qingyun said with a smile. “As a small payment, can you help me move the potatoes, Teacher Chu Ke?”

Chu Ke’s gaze fell on Wen Qingyun’s vibrant, brilliant features, and she saw the undisguised “little calculation” in her eyes. Perhaps because Wen Qingyun was just too beautiful, Chu Ke found her scheming to be exceptionally sincere—unlike the petty calculations of many villagers. It was incredibly vivid and attractive.

“Okay.” The smile on Chu Ke’s face became a bit more genuine as she accepted this clearly “losing” trade.
