Di Youyou actually understood that having such extraordinary abilities at the age of three was indeed quite startling.
But there was no other way—Li Jingmo had to learn to accept it.
“Youyou is a genius and can earn money to support Guoguo!”
Although Li Jingmo was genuinely moved by Di Youyou’s words, she wasn’t fooled by the little one. She was worried that if she didn’t keep a close eye on her, the child might go astray in the future.
Under Li Jingmo’s insistence, Di Youyou opened some of the emails from transactions with buyers on her account for Li Jingmo to see.
Of course, these were the ones Di Youyou had proactively kept visible to handle surprise inspections.
Li Jingmo saw that Di Youyou, at just three years old, already had her own dedicated bank account.
Many people sought her out for fortune-telling and divination, and some even asked Di Youyou to help them with Stone Gambling…
Moreover, Di Youyou actually had a professional manager helping manage her stock market account…
The world had finally become something Li Jingmo couldn’t comprehend.
“So, Guoguo!
Can you believe me now?”
Li Jingmo looked at the adorable little ball of cuteness before her, meeting those moist, innocent big eyes. She really wanted to crack open Di Youyou’s head to see what magical things were inside.
They were both human, so how could her little sister be an all-round big shot?
Li Jingmo woodenly handed the phone back to Di Youyou.
“How… did you manage all this?”
Di Youyou answered, half playing dumb and half serious.
“Life on Dragon Tiger Mountain was too boring. My senior brothers bought me an e-reader. You can learn anything from it. I just remember everything I read!”
To prevent Li Jingmo from doubting her capabilities, Di Youyou even volunteered that she had started earning money two years ago.
“Guoguo, if Master and the others weren’t short on money, I would have brought back the six million I saved this time. I definitely could have given you even more tips.”
Li Jingmo hadn’t expected that shameless fellow Liaochen to have the nerve to swindle money from a child. That rotten Taoist better watch out.
Now aware that Di Youyou was no ordinary powerhouse, Li Jingmo instead felt a surge of anxiety, fearing that Di Youyou might one day look down on her useless older sister.
“Youbao!”
“Hmm?”
Li Jingmo pulled the little one into her arms.
“Will you always love your sister in the future?”
Without the slightest hesitation, Di Youyou nodded heavily.
Suddenly remembering that netizens had called her Li Jingmo’s illegitimate daughter, Di Youyou got a bit angry and pulled back from Li Jingmo’s embrace.
“Guoguo, you must work hard, sing well! Youyou will definitely help you win this time!”
It would have been better if Di Youyou hadn’t brought it up. Mentioning it filled Li Jingmo with frustration.
“You little spendthrift! With all that money, couldn’t you have just transferred it directly to me?
Once it’s tipped, by the time it reaches me, it shrinks by two-thirds.”
Di Youyou: “…?”
The thought that this wasn’t just one or two yuan, but several million, made Li Jingmo’s heart ache.
“But I needed to boost Guoguo’s popularity!”
Di Youyou seemed not to understand why Li Jingmo was so distressed about the money. At most, she could just deposit all her future earnings into Li Jingmo’s retirement account.
“Thank you, Youyou!”
Since Di Youyou now knew Li Jingmo didn’t want her to waste money recklessly, she simply wouldn’t give the platform free money next time.
“Guoguo, what about the next episode of the show?”
Li Jingmo seemed to recall Wang Minxia mentioning something while chasing after her.
“What? Still want to be your brother’s dog-headed military advisor, helping with the planning?”
Di Youyou naturally nodded. Without her help, it seemed Guoguo’s path to becoming a top star would be exceptionally difficult.
Li Jingmo didn’t treat Di Youyou like a clueless little kid either. He took out his phone.
He discovered that the flowcharts for the next episode of the program had indeed already been created.
Because Li Jingmo had broken multiple records for first place, he was fortunate enough to continue participating in the semi-final live broadcast to be held in the National Forest Park half a month later.
That very day, Di Youyou helped Li Jingmo analyze the styles and overall performance capabilities of the other singers.
Then she decided to personally write a song for Li Jingmo!
Hearing that his little sister wanted to write a song for him, Li Jingmo’s first reaction was shock.
“You can write songs too?”
Di Youyou confidently told Li Jingmo to just wait and see.
Being able to personally sing a song written by his little sister, even if it was a drool-inducing children’s song, was something Li Jingmo was willing to do.
For the following period, Li Jingmo only needed to focus on resting well at home and drinking the throat-soothing tea Di Youyou prepared for him.
In the meantime, Wang Minxia urged Li Jingmo several times to go to the company to go over the schedule and for rehearsals, but Li Jingmo refused each time.
He only told Wang Minxia that he would submit his song choice before the deadline.
Because previously, including during the preliminary rounds, Li Jingmo had been in a state of being left to his own devices. Using this as an excuse, he temporarily blocked Wang Minxia’s desire to find fault.
Soon, the day to depart for the National Forest Park arrived.
Since they would be gone for three or four days, Li Jingmo wasn’t comfortable leaving the little dumpling home alone, so he decided to bring Di Youyou along.
After the competition, he could take Di Youyou to properly enjoy the forest park for a few days.
The live broadcast time for the ‘Who is the Song King’ semi-finals arrived quickly.
At six in the evening, everyone was tuned in on time to the official SingBar live stream!
The official Weibo had long since released promotional materials, stating that during this episode’s live program, they would select one thousand lucky winners to receive free admission tickets to watch the finals live on-site.
SingBar was a very wealthy official platform. Every time they launched a program, they won the affection of the audience with their grand gestures and genuine style.
The chance to watch the finals live naturally ignited everyone’s enthusiasm to an extremely high degree. As soon as the broadcast started, the live stream immediately surged with two million viewers.
This scared the entire engineering department of Magic Sound into guarding the backend of SingBar’s official connection, afraid the servers would crash or that they would be caught off guard again by a troublemaker like last time’s King Youyou.
What Li Jingmo didn’t expect was receiving a notification twenty minutes before the start, informing him that he was the first one to take the stage.
Li Jingmo understood that he had already encroached on others’ territory last time. It would be abnormal if no one targeted him now!
Li Jingmo had always maintained a calm mindset; otherwise, he would have long since been consumed by anxiety in this big dye vat.
This time, Li Jingmo went on stage empty-handed, wearing a sapphire blue sweater and pristine white suit pants.
The audience hadn’t forgotten that ID and were still wondering if the wealthy lady would come again today to tip this obscure celebrity a few million?
The previous episode of ‘Who is the Song King’ had already exploded in popularity. Many marketing accounts specifically edited clips, saying the obscure celebrity had finally welcomed his spring of good fortune. If it weren’t for that top-ranking god-tier tycoon’s tips, how could a nobody like Li Jingmo possibly have had the chance to step onto the Song King live stage a second time.
Anyway, people said all sorts of things. Since Di Youyou was personally at the venue, she naturally wouldn’t be going to any live stream.
So the haters started getting cocky again, flooding public screens everywhere with insults directed at Li Jingmo.
King Youyou hadn’t appeared, but the credits for this new song being announced showed someone named Di Youyou listed as both lyricist and composer.
Instantly, the entire internet’s focus shifted to digging deep into whether King Youyou and Di Youyou were actually the same person.
