Сhарtеr 8: His Freеdоm
Меаnwhile, in the CЕО’s officе on the 66th flооr оf Тimеs Jiаn’an Вuilding in Сitу А.
Fu Siyan wаtched Jiang Fu eхit thе scrееn, thеn fоllоwed hеr реrsonal асcоunt before аlso lеaving the livestrеam.
Кnoсk, knоck, knoсk—a knock sоundеd аt thе door.
“Соmе in,” Fu Siуan said in а deеp voiсe.
“Prеsident Fu, thesе are the finаl signing dосuments fоr thе Coastаl Wetlаnd Рark devеlopmеnt prоjесt,” a mаle assistаnt said, handing оvеr а stack of materials.
“Mm, I’ll cаll уou after I’ve rеviеwed them,” Fu Siyаn rеplied, gesturing toward the desk for the assistant to place the files.
The development of the Coastal Wetland Park was one of the most important projects for Times Jian’an Group this year. Fu Siyan had been busy with it for the past month, and now it was finally nearing completion, allowing him some well-deserved rest.
Originally, Fu Siyan had intended to seek out the woman he’d seen at the café, but over the past month, he hadn’t encountered her again.
Just as he was beginning to lose hope, an unexpected opportunity presented itself once more.
At this point, Fu Siyan had to thank the two planners he’d seen scrolling through Tremolo in the lounge area that morning.
As he passed behind them, he happened to catch a glimpse of a familiar face on the screen.
Unlike his first glimpse of her at the café, the woman on the screen had alluring eyes and red lips, wore a form-fitting cheongsam, and had heavier makeup that accentuated her charm.
Fu Siyan wasn’t particularly surprised by her profession. With Jiang Fu’s qualities, being a streamer was an excellent choice.
…
After finishing her chat with Miao Miao, Jiang Fu returned to Tremolo and immediately opened her chat with Simon. She quickly typed:
【Fu: Thank you, Brother Simon. I feel lucky to have met you on my first day of streaming. I noticed your account is new—have you not used Tremolo much before? If you don’t check messages here often, we could add each other on WeChat~】
【Simon: Mm, I didn’t use it before. I’ll add you.】
Receiving Simon’s affirmative reply, Jiang Fu sent over her WeChat ID.
In less than a minute, Jiang Fu received a friend request on WeChat. Simon’s profile picture was a desolate seascape, and his name was the same as on Tremolo: Simon.
Once they were successfully connected, Jiang Fu sent a sticker of a little fox winking, followed by a message:
【Fufu: Thank you for your support, brother~】
On the other side of the screen, Fu Siyan saw the sticker Jiang Fu sent and couldn’t help but think of how she looked dancing while gazing directly into the camera—the red mole beneath her eye was especially alluring, truly resembling a little fox.
【Simon: You dance very well. You deserve all of this.】
This was Fu Siyan’s first time watching a livestream, so when he entered the stream and heard something like “betrayed, if no one saves me, I’ll step down,” he panicked and immediately recharged 100,000. He hadn’t expected it to be so easy to “save” Jiang Fu.
Seeing Fu Siyan’s reply, Jiang Fu typed:
【Fufu: Is your English name Simon? If you don’t mind, I’ll call you Brother S in the livestream from now on.】
【Simon: Sure. Is your real name Fufu?】
Jiang Fu hadn’t planned to ask for his real name, but since the Big Brother had asked her, she felt she should answer truthfully. She typed:
【Fu: Yes, my real name is Jiang Fu. You can call me Fufu.】
【Simon: Alright. My surname is Fu, and my given name is Siyan. If you don’t mind, you can call me by my name.】Fu Siyan, hmm, that’s quite a nice name.
A big brother who seriously introduces his name to the host is actually quite cute.
【Fu: Okay, Siyan Bro~ Are you busy? If not, you can come play for a while longer.】
【Simon: Not busy. Just call me when it’s your turn.】
【Fu: No problem.】
【Simon: What exactly are the gameplay mechanics of your livestream?】
【Fu: It’s a points-based ranking system, Bro. First place in Group B advances to Group A, and the top two in Group A advance to S Group.】
【Simon: Got it. I’ll check some documents first. You’ve danced ten rounds, so take a break.】
【Fu: Okay.】
The two of them chatted back and forth naturally.
As for dancing, it wasn’t tiring at all. What would really be exhausting is having to step off the stage early~
Exiting WeChat, Jiang Fu returned to Tremolo and glanced at Ze Hui’s chat box. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to message him.
She really didn’t know what to say to him.
It’s not like she could say, “Welcome back next time to assassinate me, Bro.”
So she simply didn’t chat with him, especially since she had already thanked him during her speech.
At this moment, Shi Yu on stage had reached her fifth round.
Thanks to her pure and harmless appearance and the popularity of being the last to perform, she now had a 45-level big brother named “Shi Li Qingfeng” guarding her.
However, since there were no assassins, the points per round were only around two thousand.
Jiang Fu found a staff member to check her total points from ten rounds of Little Hearts, Little Douyin, and rescue gifts.
A total of 1,581,300 points (equivalent to about 160,000 in cash).
She could take a 20% cut, which was around 32,000. Earning over 30,000 in just half an hour was already an unimaginable amount for Jiang Fu.
“Thank you to our Big Brother Qingfeng for sending ten sets of 1314 Little Hearts! Congratulations to Shi Yu for successfully achieving a ten-game winning streak!”
The host’s voice rang out as Shi Yu, under Shi Li Qingfeng’s protection, successfully achieved a 10-game winning streak.
The comments at this moment:
“Big Brother Qingfeng is so generous!”
“Shi Yu totally looks like a white lotus.”
“Shi Yu is practically the definition of an innocent young girl~”
“Qingfeng only gifted Shi Yu because he didn’t see Fu Fu earlier.”
“Can the person above stop stirring up drama?”
“Where are the moderators? Kick out the troublemakers.”
Jiang Fu shook her head helplessly as she read the comments. She really didn’t want to get caught up in internal conflicts.
【Fu Fu: Everyone, please don’t stir up drama~ Every host is excellent.】
The management of the Mengyu livestream included four members, so maintaining order in the public chat was also part of Jiang Fu’s job.
Seeing Jiang Fu’s message, many viewers consciously began to maintain order. At the same time, Shi Li Qingfeng’s comment appeared on the public chat:
【Shi Li Qingfeng: Who I choose to gift is my own freedom.】
Seeing Shi Li Qingfeng’s comment, Shi Yu on stage curled her lips into a smile, agreeing with his statement in her heart.
If a big brother wanted to gift her, what did it have to do with these onlookers? She couldn’t help but feel annoyed at the comments for meddling too much.
When the host announced her successful winning streak, Shi Yu picked up the microphone and said in a sweet, coquettish tone:
“Big Brother Qingfeng is right. It’s his freedom, so everyone, please don’t stir up drama~”
“Shi Yu thanks Big Brother Qingfeng for escorting me through all ten rounds. Next, I’ll perform a solo dance to thank Big Brother Qingfeng~”
