Coolest Villain carved through the competition all the way, barely needing her to say a word, directly bringing her to the final round.
His level was only 36 too—there was really no telling what kind of strength he actually had.
Dai Daiyu’s family had strength in numbers. Level 50 Brother Feng led the fans in a joint fundraising effort, determined to avenge their previous humiliation.
The two of them chased each other back and forth all the way to 150,000 points.
Some fans only realized something was wrong when their wallets were already empty—this big shot didn’t seem so easy to mess with.
By now, only Brother Feng was left fighting for Dai Daiyu’s side. She didn’t dare slack off for even a second. To hold onto the center position, she spent two full minutes praising him to the heavens.

An Mengyue took the microphone, merely smiled at the camera, and that man began his own performance.

Watching this razor-thin gap, she realized Boss Ku quite enjoyed toying with people. An Mengyue set down the microphone, puffed out one cheek with a pout, and lifted her chin with great smugness.
There was no denying this tactic was like boiling a frog in warm water—it drove her opponent up the wall, with no way to know just how many votes he had in his pocket.
The fans, who loved watching chaos unfold, went wild stirring the pot.
[Can President Ku just be straightforward and drop something big?]
[Blind guess: Cat Cat takes first today]
[Brother Feng, drop something big and make President Ku back off!]
The hot microphone landed back in Dai Daiyu’s hands. Even as the countdown began, no special effects appeared. With tears glistening in her eyes, she called out in a delicate, pitiful voice: “Brother Feng, Little Fish doesn’t want to lose.”
Wind Blows Longxi, bound by pride, shouted “Charge!” and quickly topped up his account. Only when she saw him re-enter the livestream did Dai Daiyu breathe a sigh of relief.

An Mengyue, in contrast, looked utterly playful. She stood half a head taller than Dai Daiyu, completely overwhelming her opponent in presence. Dimples graced her cheeks, and she radiated pure ease.
“Thank you, Boss Ku! This has completely shattered all my previous records—I’m so happy!”

Dai Daiyu could no longer hold it together. Her expression cracked as she clenched her molars and said: “President Ku, do you really have to do this? Why?”
Deep down, she still couldn’t accept that President Ku had left her—and had turned around to support Dongdongmao, the bottom-ranked member of the team, no less.
[Coolest Villain: ?]
That question mark landed on Dai Daiyu’s face like a slap.
She remembered their first conversation, when Coolest Villain had also backed her up like this.
[Don’t feel bad for me]
[Fine, I’ll gift you]
[Fine, I’ll cover it]
Why? Why had it come to this now?
Now he stood on the opposite side, slapping her in the face so hard.
Hatred for Dongdongmao burned in her heart.
On the big screen:
[Wind Blows Longxi: @Coolest Villain Give us a straight answer! How much more are you planning to spend?]
[Coolest Villain: With me here, she won’t lose.]
Reading those words on the bullet comments, An Mengyue actually felt protected. Tenderness shimmered in her eyes like starlight, and her dimples deepened with sweetness.
In the end, Dongdongmao took the weekly championship with the highest individual score.
Wan Tang 2016 was finally getting a new center!
Since the show began, no one had ever managed to shake Dai Daiyu’s position at the center.
After all, even Coolest Villain had entered the livestream because of Dai Daiyu.
No one knew why he had turned around to support Dongdongmao, the livestreamer with the lowest guaranteed income in this room.
During the thank-you segment, An Mengyue walked to the very center, picked up the microphone, and bowed deeply.
“Today is the highest score I’ve ever had. Thank you so much to my family who supported me. Thank you for supporting someone as unremarkable as me.”
“First, I want to thank Sister Xiangxiang. You worked so hard in the early days, but today I’ve found you teammates! We don’t have to fight alone anymore!”
“Lastly, thank you to the coolest Boss Cool! You worked hard, and today was another big-spending day. Thank you for the revival—this is the first carnival gift I’ve ever received, and I’ll always remember it. I’ll keep working hard in the future, striving to make our Cat Family grow bigger and bigger, so you won’t have to work so hard. Love you all!”
She bowed again, looked at the big screen, and smiled sweetly.
[Fu Yuexiang: You’re the best, sweetheart!]
[Coolest Villain: (fireworks emoji)]
A warmth rose in An Mengyue’s heart. It felt like she hadn’t done anything for others, yet someone was giving so much for her, and she gradually began to fall in love with this job.
Both she and Tutu had guessed wrong—today’s second place was Dai Daiyu, and first place was herself.
[Dongdongmao: Boss Cool! Awesome! Thank you, boss! You spent way too much today!]
[Coolest Villain: If I hadn’t come, would you have been disappointed?]
An Mengyue said yes in her heart, but she didn’t like saying things that would put pressure or burden on others.
[Dongdongmao: The fact that you came to my livestream just for me already makes me happy. I don’t dare hope for too much.]
[Dongdongmao: Livestreaming is just for entertainment anyway. You’re busy with work and have your own things to do.]
[Dongdongmao: So there’s no such thing as disappointment or not. I welcome you whenever you’re willing to come. (heart)]
[Coolest Villain: You’ve got a silver tongue.]
[Coolest Villain: What if I never came at all?]
[Dongdongmao: Then I’d miss you!]
[Dongdongmao: It must mean I’m not good enough, so you went to watch someone else. That means I need to work even harder!]
[Coolest Villain: I came just for you.]
After showering, An Mengyue lay on the bed. The room was filled with a faint fragrance of lily of the valley and jasmine, with Candy and Bobby lying on either side of her.
Driven by curiosity, she tapped open Boss Cool’s Moments.
His WeChat name was “mz,” and his Moments were only visible for the past six months.
There were very few posts, mostly scenery. The only personal information she could find was a side-profile photo of him playing billiards.
In the photo, the man had sharply defined features and a high nose bridge, though his face wasn’t clearly visible. He was tall, definitely over 185 cm, with broad shoulders—a natural clothes hanger. Even a simple hoodie looked incredibly stylish on him. He appeared to be under thirty.
She zoomed in on the photo. His jawline was clean and defined, his fingers long and slender. The hand gripping the billiard cue showed faint veins, and the watch on his wrist was a Patek Philippe that couldn’t be found on the market. She’d seen that model before, but it wasn’t available for purchase.
This perked An Mengyue right up. This young, handsome man was actually her number-one fan?
His physique was truly rare among big spenders. Even without a clear view of his face, when she thought about it—could a guy with such good fashion sense really be that bad-looking?
Sure enough, a man’s handsomeness is entirely a product of a woman’s imagination—she had suddenly cast a thick filter over the cool boss.
“Candy, what do you think this big brother actually looks like?”
