The sudden change caught Lin Yue Shu off guard.
Although he really wanted to show Huo Yi Sen his leg, business is business, and the highest bidder wins. With a mysterious big brother tipping him 500,000 to not show off, he couldn’t just ignore that.
Just when Lin Yue Shu was feeling weak and helpless, H tipped another 100,000:
[Show it.]
H.02 quickly followed with 500,000:
[Put it down.]
H: [Didn’t your parents teach you about first come, first served?]
H.02: [In business, the highest bidder wins.]
With that, the two started a back-and-forth, you tip 100,000, I tip 200,000, and the screen kept flashing “Consume Rationally” reminders.
Lin Yue Shu: ???
Suddenly, he felt a bit scared.
The two were completely at odds, turning the live stream into a battlefield.
Other streamers’ rooms were also buzzing with notifications: XXX tipped hundreds of thousands in Xiao Lin’s stream, go join the lottery.
In no time, the stream, which originally had only a few hundred viewers, became lively, with the number of viewers skyrocketing like a rocket, leaving only afterimages.
That day, 500,000 people watched the two big brothers battle it out, and conservatively estimated, the small streamer earned a million after splitting with the platform.
Lin Yue Shu was genuinely scared.
He quickly said:
“Big brothers, please stop tipping, I’m tired too. Today’s stream ends here, thank you for your support.”
The stream was instantly filled with complaints:
[You two fighting made us lose our entertainment, and now neither of you can watch, are you satisfied?!]
H tipped ten cannons: [Baby, show me again tomorrow.]
H.02 followed with twenty cannons.
As soon as the stream ended, Lin Yue Shu quickly checked the profiles of the two big brothers.
Both were newly created accounts, and both had only tipped him.
Trying to see more private information obviously touched the red line of personal privacy protection laws.
Lin Yue Shu repeatedly opened the two profiles, frowning slightly.
Two Hs, the latter one, 02, clearly didn’t manage to register the H ID first. Judging by the tone, number two seemed closer to Huo Yi Sen.
So H is likely just a random passerby, and the one who came later, 02, is Huo Yi Sen.
Lin Yue Shu recalled H.02’s stern “Don’t show it, put it down,” and his lips curled up.
…
Half an hour earlier, at the Hain Group building.
Secretary Jiang diligently charged Huo Yi Sen’s work phone, sorted all messages, and made a schedule for the next day.
Unexpectedly, he found a strange text message, with no note, just a “Representative Huo” and a string of live stream numbers.
On a whim, he thought of the little star who received a pink Snoopy from Representative Huo, and on another whim, he clicked into the live stream.
Ten minutes later, Secretary Jiang made a life-or-death decision to hand over the next day’s schedule to Huo Yi Sen, who told him to leave work first.
“Representative, aren’t you going home?”
Huo Yi Sen, staring at the computer screen, said nonchalantly:
“I still have some work, you go ahead.”
The secretary agreed verbally, but ended up going to the hotel to pack dinner and came back:
“You’ve worked hard, have something to eat first, I’ll wait for you to finish work and take you home, so the driver doesn’t have to make another trip.”
Huo Yi Sen didn’t respond, his attention was on the report on the screen.
After nine, Huo Yi Sen finished the last document, turned off the computer, and went out, only to see the secretary sitting in the hallway watching a video, muttering to himself:
“So good-looking, how can there be such a good-looking person in the world, is this kind of appearance real?”
Huo Yi Sen wasn’t interested in the secretary’s private life, just said:
“Let’s go.”
But at the moment of turning around, he heard a familiar voice from the secretary’s phone, sweetly saying “Thank you, brother, for the gift, love you.”
Huo Yi Sen thought of the inexplicable live stream number Lin Yue Shu sent him.
A few moments later, he turned and left.
Not interested and not concerned, what the person he had cleared things with wanted to do was his business.
The secretary drove over, and the usually quiet person was chattering:
“Representative, do you watch live streams? I found a very exciting live stream app.”
Huo Yi Sen looked out the window, too lazy to respond.
The secretary sneaked a glance at the rearview mirror and continued:
“There’s a particularly beautiful little streamer, like a painting. Isn’t it strange, they say beauty is the world’s first certificate, and such a stunning person relying on sensual live streaming to get by is a waste.”
Huo Yi Sen finally spoke, coldly:
“If you like watching so much, I’ll give you a long vacation to go home and enjoy.”
The secretary quickly zipped his lips. Alright, I’ll protect my job first, then protect the love between our Representative Huo and the little star.
The car fell into a sudden silence, only the sound of the air conditioning whispering.
Almost a century later, the secretary saw through the rearview mirror that Huo Yi Sen took out his earphones and put them on, and the next second, the phone screen lit up in the dark car.
The secretary smiled with relief, nodding:
Little star, oh little star, the bright moon shines only on you.
*
Lin Yue Shu counted the earnings from the night’s stream, and after taking it, he had over 1.5 million.
First, he sighed, in the eyes of big financial groups, money isn’t even money, then opened various luxury brand official accounts, buy, buy, buy, from now on, every time he sees Huo Yi Sen, he has to dress beautifully.
And then, he bought a cheap car for commuting, so if he ever had to meet Huo Yi Sen late at night, he wouldn’t have to take a taxi, letting those ugly taxi drivers and bus passengers take advantage. That’s how it was arranged in the original text.
He set aside 100,000, all converted into cash.
A week later, Lin Yue Shu received a call from Alder Jewelry’s agent, brief and to the point, asking him to come to the shooting hall for a discussion.
Lin Yue Shu drove his newly bought Buick Regal to the studio.
He didn’t particularly like this car, and in the past, he wouldn’t have even looked at it, purely because the original owner bought a fragile car after getting some money, which even an electric bike could smash to pieces. That night, the original owner, accidentally rear-ended by a delivery guy, was half-conscious from the fragile car’s damage, with a head full of blood, dragged into the woods by the delivery guy for a good time.
Lin Yue Shu gripped the steering wheel: My Regal, only it can smash other cars to pieces.
Arriving at the place, Lin Yue Shu carried a suitcase into the building.
As he pushed open the door, Alder’s executives lined up in two rows, clapping enthusiastically.
They called Lin Yue Shu to sign a contract.
Chairman Wang held his hand and wouldn’t let go:
“I’ve seen Mr. Lin’s audition photos, and I can only say, no wonder Representative Huo was willing to get angry for a beauty, I believe Mr. Lin will have great achievements in the future.”
Lin Yue Shu smiled: “You’re flattering me.”
Although it was ultimately thanks to Huo Yi Sen’s influence, for Lin Yue Shu, it was also his own skill.
They signed the contract, two copies, with an endorsement fee of ten million a year after tax, and Lin Yue Shu signed for two years.
He immediately sent a message to Lu Boxiao:
[Give me an account number, wait to receive money.]
At this moment, sitting at his desk, Lu Boxiao’s cheekbones were flushed, and there was a sound of water under the table.
He grabbed the hair of the person under the table and threw them aside.
This Lin Yue Shu, is he a monster?
After signing the contract and discussing the spokesperson’s meeting time, Chairman Wang wanted to invite Lin Yue Shu for a meal, and Lin Yue Shu agreed, saying to wait a moment as he had something urgent to handle.
Then he took the suitcase to the photographer, threw it in front of him, and smiled:
“This is the photographer’s hard work fee, 100,000.”
The photographer was shocked, but with money in front of him, who wouldn’t be tempted?
He reached out tremblingly to grab the money box, but suddenly someone stepped on his fingers.
Looking up, he met Lin Yue Shu’s smiling eyes:
“But, I hope the photographer uses another place to receive this hard work fee.”
The photographer was puzzled: “Use, use what?”
Lin Yue Shu’s smile widened, his squinted eyes exuding endless gentleness.
His gaze shifted to the photographer’s butt.
*
The car arrived at the hotel, and Lin Yue Shu snapped back to reality.
No wonder they say in the world of flowers, everyone has to be a human-shaped wooden dummy of Wing Chun before moving on, the photographer’s dazed look calling “more” for 100,000 was vivid in his mind.
Lin Yue Shu got out of the car at Chairman Wang’s invitation.
He took a few steps and stopped.
Ah, he remembered, in the original text, after a night of madness with the monkey, the original owner got a luxury brand endorsement, went to a banquet with the luxury brand agent, and served as a human banquet dish, letting the old guys enjoy to their heart’s content.
Lin Yue Shu secretly “tsk”ed. He was careless, hadn’t planned to drag Huo Yi Sen into this yet, but he didn’t want to be eaten by the old guys either.
Lin Yue Shu was never flustered, he had 100% trust in his own wisdom.
Looking around, his brows suddenly relaxed.
Sure enough, the heavens help those who are persistent.
At the hotel entrance, he saw a familiar car, a flamboyant Aston Martin, seen on the day of the audition, a luxury sports car that didn’t quite match Huo Yi Sen.
What a coincidence, Huo Yi Sen is here too? It makes sense, these rich young masters from big financial groups are born to eat, drink, and play, not to have dreams.
As Lin Yue Shu followed the agent inside, he lightly patted the car’s rear.
Huo Yi Sen, your little flirt is here to catch you.
