Could it be the new male streamer

Su Yang nodded with a smile and walked side by side with Xia Li toward the office building's entrance.

It was already 10:20 PM. The lobby was quiet, with only a security guard on duty and no one at the reception desk.

When they reached the smart access gate leading to the elevator hall, Xia Li stepped forward for facial recognition, and the small door slid open.

She turned to Su Yang with a grin. "After you, Mr. Su~"

Su Yang chuckled and walked through first.

As they pressed the elevator button, Su Yang asked, "Which floor is the company on?"

Xia Li sighed in mock exasperation. "Even though you're the boss, I have to say—you’re really hands-off. You don’t even know which floor your own company is on?"

Su Yang replied casually, "Well, I’ve never been here before. And honestly, work isn’t my thing. I’ll be counting on you to handle things."

Xia Li shook her head. "Sigh~ Looks like I’m just destined to be the ultimate workhorse."

As they joked, the elevator doors opened.

"After you, Mr. Su~"

Inside, Xia Li pressed the button for the 15th floor. Su Yang remarked, "Ah, the 15th floor."

"Not just the 15th—floors 15 through 18 all belong to the company."

"Oh? I didn’t realize my little company was this big."

Xia Li tilted her head. "Little? Do you even know that this is now one of Haicheng’s top media companies?"

"How top-tier? Might as well give me the rundown."

Xia Li explained matter-of-factly, "Right now, we focus on streamer incubation, live broadcasting, and web series production. We also dabble in movies and TV ads, but those aren’t the main focus."

"We’re a leader in Haicheng for nurturing streamers and producing web dramas."

Su Yang thought to himself, ‘The system’s rewards really are something.’

He nodded at Xia Li. "How many employees does the company have now?"

"Do you mean just the streamers or all staff?"

"The whole roster."

Xia Li pondered. "Around 4,000 in total."

"That many?"

"Yep. Most are signed streamers who don’t come into the office, but we still have a sizable in-house team—about 230 employees who clock in daily. Some streamers also broadcast from here."

Su Yang nodded. "That’s a pretty solid scale."

As they talked, the elevator arrived at the 15th floor.

The doors opened, revealing the Starlight Media logo on the gray wall opposite.

Xia Li gestured for Su Yang to exit first, then followed closely behind.

They turned left to the company’s glass doors, where Xia Li scanned her face to unlock them.

"After you~"

Most areas inside were already dark, with all employees gone for the day.

The floor spanned about 1,000 square meters—standard for a Class A office building.

The space felt expansive.

Su Yang glanced around. "This floor is the main office area, right?"

"Yep. The 16th and 17th floors are mostly studios, with a cafeteria on the 17th. The 18th has our big conference room, gym, and employee lounge."

Su Yang smirked. "A cafeteria and gym? Not bad for perks."

"Like it’s not your company," Xia Li teased.

He laughed and changed the subject. "Are there still people upstairs streaming now?"

"Quite a few."

"This late?"

"Mr. Su~ We’re in the live-streaming business. Prime time is right now."

Su Yang conceded with a grin. "Fair point."

"Entertainment streamers usually work nights, while others stick to daytime slots."

"Got it. Take me upstairs later for a look?"

"Sure, but give me ten minutes to wrap something up first."

"No problem."

They walked down a hallway to an office labeled General Manager.

"Your office?"

"Mmhm. Step inside, Mr. Su~"

Su Yang eyed the neighboring rooms. "Do I have an office here?"

Xia Li shot him a sidelong glance. "Obviously. You’re the top boss—of course you get one. But yours is under renovation. Should be ready next week."

"Meh, no rush. Doubt I’ll use it much anyway."

"Doesn’t matter. The big boss needs his own space."

They entered Xia Li’s office, and she flicked on the lights. Su Yang’s eyes widened. ‘Damn, this is huge!’

The 60–70 square meter space resembled a high-end ad agency’s setup—complete with potted plants, sculptures, an artsy lounge area, and a massive desk by the window.

As he took it in, Xia Li headed to the lounge. "Have a seat, Mr. Su. Coffee or tea?"

Su Yang scanned the room. "Coffee’s good."

"Coming right up."

Soon, she handed him a pour-over. "Make yourself comfortable. I’ll just be a minute."

"Take your time."

Watching her walk back to her desk, Su Yang mused, ‘Never guessed she’d be the GM here. What a coincidence.’

‘Weird—the second I stepped in, I felt off. Even though it’s my company, this environment just grates on me. Guess I’m not cut out for office life.’

Shaking his head, he pulled out his phone to kill time.

Ten minutes later, Xia Li shut her laptop and approached.

"All set. Ready for the grand tour?"

"Lead the way."

They exited and climbed to the 16th floor, where lights blazed and young staffers bustled about.

Xia Li guided him to an open workspace. A few women greeted her cheerfully, "Evening, GM Xia! Working late?"

Xia Li smiled. "Wrapping up. You all should head out soon too. Oh, gather everyone still here—except the streamers."

"Got it!"

Within two minutes, a dozen curious employees assembled.

Xia Li surveyed them. "Any guesses why you’re here?"

One guy joked, "Treating us to bubble tea?"

She shot him a playful glare. "Bubble tea’s nothing. Do you know who this handsome guy next to me is?"

All eyes turned to Su Yang.

"Wow, he’s gorgeous!"

"New streamer?"

"Could be~"

A few girls whispered among themselves.

Just then, a guy chuckled and said, "Well, we wouldn’t know, would we? Care to introduce us, President Xia?"

Xia Li smiled faintly and replied, "This is the big boss of our Xingling Media—Su Yang, President Su~"

"......"

Hearing this, the dozen or so people froze in place.

The two girls who had earlier speculated whether he was a streamer now widened their eyes and covered their mouths in shock.

Su Yang glanced at their expressions before stepping forward with a warm smile. "Hello, everyone~"

"Uh... P-President Su! Nice to meet you!"

"We didn’t expect you to come to the company so late."

Su Yang grinned. "I just happened to run into President Xia on the way, so I thought I’d drop by. Relax, I’m pretty easygoing."

"Got it, got it!"

Xia Li gave a light smile and added, "I called you all here just to introduce our boss. Now that you’ve met him, remember his face."

"We will, we will!"

"Good. Wouldn’t want any of you mistaking President Su for some small-time streamer next time he visits."

"Of course not! Don’t worry, President Su, President Xia!"

"Alright then, that’s all. Get back to work and wrap things up so you can head home~"

"Sure thing!"

As the group started dispersing to their desks, Su Yang raised his hand. "Hold on~"

"Wh-what’s up?" They all turned to look at him.

Xia Li also glanced at Su Yang, waiting for him to continue.

Su Yang flashed a playful grin. "Why so tense? How many people are still in the office right now?"

"Uh... Besides us, there are probably a few dozen streamers still working," one guy answered.

Su Yang nodded. "Alright, go ahead and get a headcount for me. I’m treating everyone to milk tea~"

"......"

A second after his words, the room erupted in cheers. "Woo!! Thank you, President Su!!"

"So it’s just milk tea! You scared me—I thought you were about to announce something major~"

"President Su is the best!!" Several people cheered excitedly.

Xia Li, standing nearby, crossed her arms and smiled faintly.

Su Yang looked at the group and added, "No big announcements. It’s my first time here, so I figured I should do something nice. Plus, with so many of you working late, treating you to milk tea is the least I can do."
