Chapter 481

"【Ink and Calligraphy Through the Ages】 @I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky, this netizen has such good luck! Would you be willing to sell it?!"

"【Young Master Wang】: @I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky, you've heard of my reputation, Young Master Wang, right??! Name your price for how much you want!"

"【Duo Yun Xuan】: @I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky, young friend, could you do us at Duo Yun Xuan a favor?!"

……

On the other side, in a high-end, luxurious room, the notification sounds from being tagged rang out one after another.

"The winner is... I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky?"

Yang Mi had just finished showering, wrapped only in a bathrobe, revealing two long, snow-white, slender legs.

Seeing the familiar username on the lucky bag, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Huh?! It's actually me?!"

That's right.

No one would have guessed that the person behind the unassuming account 【I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky】 was the big entertainment star, Yang Mi.

Seeing the string of comments in the chat hoping to acquire this piece of calligraphy by Ye Xuan, the incredibly bold Yang Mi replied immediately.

"Sorry everyone! I'm not short on money; I'm going to keep this piece for my own collection~"

Once this message was sent, the netizens who had hoped to snatch Ye Xuan's autograph from this lucky viewer all wore expressions of disappointment.

The largest private room in a well-known bar in Yanjing.

Young Master Wang was surrounded by a circle of beauties with different styles.

It looked like a life that most men would envy, but Young Master Wang, sitting in the center, frowned for a rare moment.

He had originally just stumbled upon Yu Minhong's live stream, but he hadn't expected to see that piece of calligraphy by Ye Xuan.

It just so happened that the old man's big birthday was coming up, and he had been agonizing over a gift; seeing Ye Xuan's calligraphy, his eyes lit up instantly.

The old man was a master of calligraphy collection, and he had seen countless treasures since he was a child.

Based on his eye for treasures, Ye Xuan's calligraphy was worth at least eight figures!

But who would have thought it was given away for free to this lucky viewer?!

Seeing that this lucky viewer seemed to be a second-generation rich kid too, Young Master Wang raised an eyebrow and simply sent a private message to 【I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky】.

"Name your price! I've got my eye on that piece! I won't let you lose out!"

By the time Yang Mi saw this message, the private message notification on her phone was still ringing incessantly.

At a glance, they were all from the same group of people who had expressed an interest in buying it in the live stream.

Who would have thought!

These people still weren't giving up; they were actually private messaging her one by one?!

With a light huff, Yang Mi ignored the messages and happily opened the backend to fill in her shipping address.

When it came time to enter the detailed home address, Yang Mi's fingertips paused.

If she wrote down Jiaxing directly, would it expose her identity?!

For some reason, Yang Mi just didn't want Ye Xuan to find out she was keeping his calligraphy for herself.

Hesitating back and forth, Yang Mi bit her lip and called her assistant.

"(agba) Tell me your home address quickly!"

"It's not for buying you something; it's for me!"

"It's not convenient to have it sent to my place, so I'm borrowing your address..."

On this side, Yang Mi was happily filling in a foolproof address, while on the other side, the assistant fell into deep thought.

Did Sister Mi buy some strange toy or something?!

Why was it so unspeakable that it couldn't be seen by others?!

And she even had to have it sent to her own home?!

Now that she knew Sister Mi's secret, would she really not be silenced?!

Yang Mi had no idea that thousands of "grass mud horses" were galloping through her assistant's mind.

After happily clicking submit, she looked back at Ye Xuan on the live stream camera, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.

You wretch!

Since you're in Yanjing, why don't you come find me?!

On the other side, many netizens in the live stream, having just witnessed the big shots throwing money around, were sighing wildly.

"I never expected 【I-Am-Not-Foot-Stinky】 to be a tycoon too!"

"Although I don't want to say it, I have to admit that I seem to have lowered the average income of the entire live stream! 【Crying】"

"Don't leave, person in the front row, don't leave me alone to face this bleak life; I'll keep you company! 【Cracking】"

"I really want to ask, do these wealthy families need pets? I actually look like a human, but in other aspects, I'm quite dog-like 【Dog Head】"

"The person above is shameless and invincible; I've learned something today!"

……

Seeing the netizens in the live stream turning into drama queens, Yu Minhong, as the host, felt that his expressions hadn't been this rich in a single day for the whole month.

Thinking that the calligraphy had been sent out and the mid-show giveaway segment was over, Yu Minhong continued to interview Ye Xuan.

"Teacher Ye, we all know that writing is a discipline that requires long-term accumulation."

"Many literary masters transitioned slowly from being newcomers, experiencing the common stages of: works being unpopular — works gradually being recognized — works becoming highly popular."

"Of course, unlike other writers who achieve success late in life, Teacher Ye can be said to have achieved fame at a young age."

"Have you ever had similar worries, fearing that your works wouldn't be popular when written?"

Yu Minhong had clearly thought this question through carefully.

Although Yu Minhong wasn't a writer, he had experience in publishing books.

When he first published a book, his mood was both excited and worried.

The excitement was that he hadn't expected to be able to publish a book in his lifetime.

As for the worry, it was naturally the fear of poor feedback.

At this moment, he looked at Ye Xuan with burning eyes, quite curious about what answer would come out of Ye Xuan's mouth.

Just as he was full of anticipation, he saw Ye Xuan shake his head with complete composure.

"I have never worried about that."

After all, the books rewarded by the system had been tested by countless readers and the market.

Every single one was a classic among classics.

Seeing Yu Minhong's smile pause, Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and grinned.

"I won't hide it from everyone; my real thought is, if my books aren't popular, then it's definitely because my readers are too stupid."

Yu Minhong's smile froze again.

If a book isn't popular, it's because the readers are too stupid?!

So if a book isn't popular, it becomes the readers' fault?!

The netizens in the live stream were also left between laughter and tears.

"This guy really doesn't treat me as an outsider, telling me such a hard truth! 【Covering Face】"

"This guy even has an expression like he feels much better after saying it... 【Cracking】"

"Yes, I'm stupid to death 【Dog Head】, I've read your novels n times!"

"Understood, from now on, whenever Ye Xuan's novels don't sell, it's because our readers' IQ isn't up to par 【Covering Face】"

"Watching this guy's live stream, I can't associate him with his works at all 【Laughing and Crying】"

……

After interacting with netizens for another half hour, seeing that it was almost time to end the stream, Yu Minhong began his closing remarks.

"Thank you to so many people for spending such a wonderful night with us tonight; our live stream today ends here."

Upon hearing the word "end," Ye Xuan had already spread his palms, ready to clap and finish work.
