Ye Sheng wasn’t live streaming, so Xi Yang immediately lost interest in opening the app.
He clicked on the message his butler had sent him in the afternoon.
From the afternoon until after work, he hadn’t had time to see what the butler had sent.
After reading it, Xi Yang frowned deeply.
All the surveillance cameras that might have captured the delivery person’s route had temporarily malfunctioned—even the camera outside his villa gate hadn’t recorded anything!
Just as the delivery person arrived, a hacker happened to attack?
If that were the case, it would make sense, but for it to happen twice in a row—he couldn’t understand it.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence.
The firewall on his computer was intact, with no signs of being breached.
This indicated that the hacker had no intention of targeting his system. So, what was the purpose of the hack?
To avoid capturing the delivery person on camera?
No matter how he thought about it, it didn’t make sense.
Unable to figure it out, all he could do now was strengthen his precautions to prevent any unexpected incidents.
…
Ding! The streamer you follow has gone live!
As soon as Ye Sheng started streaming, eager netizens quickly flooded in.
They all complained that Ye Sheng hadn’t streamed yesterday, leaving them unable to eat or sleep properly.
Lv5. Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet): You traitor! Why didn’t you stream last night? Do you know how I spent my day yesterday? Do you?!
Lv6. Yuan Sheiqi: Without watching you eat, I had no appetite. I forced down two big bowls of spicy hotpot with tears in my eyes. What do you have to say for yourself?
Lv2. Yang Xing: Are you serious? You don’t look like you can’t live without the streamer.
Ye Sheng clicked his tongue as he read the comments. “Looks like you’ve been living it up. Where’d you go fooling around? You’re already level 5.”
“What do I have to say? Cold-tossed shredded potatoes.”
Lv5. Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet): Hehe, well, you weren’t streaming, so it’s not really my fault.
Tu Bieshu felt a little guilty. Since Ye Sheng wasn’t streaming, he had wandered into the realm of female streamers, lingering there and unable to resist sending a few small gifts.
Who would’ve thought he’d get a little carried away and level up without even realizing it?
Once he noticed, he knew it was bad—he couldn’t let himself sink deeper. It wouldn’t be easy to explain.
For some reason, he felt the same guilt as if he’d been out fooling around.
Ye Sheng crossed his arms and looked down at the camera. “Don’t let it happen again. As punishment, you’ll send one popularity ticket as a warning, so no one else gets any ideas and comes back smelling like rouge.”
Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet) gifted the streamer Popularity Ticket ×1.
Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet) gifted the streamer Popularity Ticket ×3.
Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet) gifted the streamer Popularity Ticket ×6.
Tu Bieshu (The Most Handsome Guy on the Internet) gifted the streamer Popularity Ticket ×10.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Tu Bieshu sent ten popularity tickets in a row.
It was fine to go out and have fun, but spending money was absolutely not allowed!
If it was a punishment, it had to look like one. Ten popularity tickets in a row to show his determination.
Ye Sheng felt relieved. At least his buddies knew how to behave.
Lv6. Yuan Sheiqi: Is cold-tossed shredded potatoes tasty?
Lv2. Yang Xiaxin: Whether it’s tasty or not, I don’t know, but you definitely can’t eat it—it’s raw!
“That’s a great question. First of all, it’s raw! Appearance-wise, it should be fine, but as for the taste—even the streamer doesn’t know. Friendly reminder: don’t try it lightly, in case you get poisoned.”
After chatting with the viewers for a while, Ye Sheng moved on to today’s main topic.
“Good news, good news! Today’s special: Mushroom and Meat Steamed Rice Rolls, only twenty servings! Only twenty servings!”
“Brothers in the same city are in for a treat, first come first served! It’s time to test your hand speed!”
“3! 2! 1!”
“Link is up!”
Xi Yang sat in his office, nervously clutching his phone, so focused that he didn’t even notice his special assistant Cheng bringing in a stack of documents.
Special Assistant Cheng quietly glanced over: What is the CEO doing? He looks even more serious than when he’s working.
It seemed to be a live-streaming sales room, hosted by a female streamer who sounded quite young.
Could it be that the CEO is trying to be the top fan!
The CEO wants to be an old cow eating young grass!
Even though the CEO is good-looking, has a great figure, keeps himself clean, and is a diamond bachelor, the fact remains—he’s an old cow trying to eat young grass!
The more Special Assistant Cheng thought about it, the more his curiosity grew.
He really wanted to see what this female streamer looked like!
He wanted to know how the CEO was being a beast… ahem! Being a top fan!
Completely unaware of what his special assistant was thinking, Xi Yang was intently focused on the live stream.
The link appeared, and he quickly tapped.
Payment successful!
Xi Yang let out a sigh of relief, relaxing his stiff back against the chair.
A smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
His luck had been really good lately!
She truly was his little lucky star.
Special Assistant Cheng: ??
What happened to make him so happy?
At this moment, should he say something like, “The CEO hasn’t smiled like this in a long time!”
…
Ye Sheng’s live stream.
As soon as the mushroom and meat basket noodles went on sale, they were instantly sold out!
The netizens who missed out wailed in disappointment.
They begged her to do another round, but that wasn’t going to happen—though she could offer something else.
After all, this time, what she wanted was attention.
Ye Sheng cleared her throat: “New friends, hit that follow button! Follow and you won’t get lost, this streamer will take you on a fast ride! And don’t forget to get a fan badge—this streamer will make you smile!”
“You guys are so clueless, you should help guide the new family members.”
“It’s their first time here, we should make them feel a sense of belonging.”
“Otherwise, how can we get them to willingly pull out the cash from their pockets?”
The new netizens were utterly shocked.
Huh? Aren’t you guys even trying to hide it?
They’re right here!
Scheming about their money right in front of them—is that really polite?!
The veteran fans remained calm and composed, speaking to the new fans in a seasoned tone: Stay calm, stay calm, this is just the usual routine. Joining this fandom won’t disappoint you.
This attitude successfully piqued the curiosity of those who hadn’t followed yet. After hitting the follow button, they wanted to see what was going on that could make these people act like this.
Ye Sheng’s eyes curved into crescents, revealing her bright white teeth: “Before the PK, let me say this—today, I’m not just after money, I’m after people too. So, we need a plan.”
“Any ideas?”
Of course, they were also part of her plan—to fully pull them into her camp, increasing fan loyalty so they wouldn’t easily leave.
Once they joined in, using their brains to think and discuss, they would naturally put more effort into it.
It was like preparing for fishing—first, you need bait, then a fishing rod, and so on.
What bait do fish love? What fishing rod works best and feels most comfortable? How can you catch the biggest, fattest fish? These were all things to consider.
She would be the one asking the questions and making the final decisions.
The live stream was buzzing with lively discussions. Ye Sheng nodded in satisfaction at the atmosphere—the stream was finally starting to look the part.
United as one, working together toward a common goal—becoming a top streamer was just around the corner.
After talking so much, her mouth felt a bit dry.
Ye Sheng left the live stream and returned with a glass of plain water.
She was also starting to feel a little hungry.
She didn’t even have time to introduce the mushroom and pork basket noodles before they sold out, so she simply skipped the introduction.
Opening the white box, a fragrant aroma wafted out. She scooped out half into a bowl for Ye Xiaotian to eat later.
Picking up a strip and putting it into her mouth, she couldn’t help but let out a satisfied sound.
The livestream chat eerily went silent.
Ye Sheng asked in confusion (chew chew chew): “What’s going on with everyone? Keep going!”
