Chapter 290: How come it

As it turned out, Pili took out her phone and opened the official event page of "Dou Dou": "It's real. It's an official event."

Shen Ci and Lianxing both leaned in to check the event rules carefully. The event was an official "Dou Dou Video" event, and streamers only had the qualification to participate if recommended by an agency.

In other words, wild individual streamers didn't have this qualification.

However, this allowed Shen Ci to set her mind at ease slightly; at least the event was real, and the other party hadn't lied to her.

"You don't need to worry. This 'MCN agency' is one of the biggest agencies. Many internet celebrities with tens of millions of followers were incubated by them."

"I really do need a more professional team. These days, streaming by myself feels like crossing a river by feeling the stones. Wielding knives and guns is certainly not difficult for me, but I thought of streaming too simply, and there are many things I don't understand."

Lianxing had already felt that this was definitely exhausting, and hearing Pili say this now made her feel even more heartbroken.

"You don't have to work so hard. Streaming eight hours a day—this isn't a job, and besides, people at work can sit down, and when they're tired, they can get up and walk around. You're here swinging kung fu for eight hours straight; even a camel in the desert would be exhausted to death!"

Shen Ci also said: "Lianxing is right. Don't push yourself too hard."

Pili smiled and nodded: "I know. I'll adjust later. Let's see how the agency arranges things."

Li Wanchang also received Ji Yongxiu's progress report that evening.

The contract wasn't signed; Shen Ci was holding out for more money!

Li Wanchang was naturally furious and vented all his anger on Ji Yongxiu.

"Didn't I tell you to move faster? How did you give her the opportunity to haggle?" Li Wanchang roared angrily.

Ji Yongxiu was also fuming inside. He knew the Chairman would definitely be angry with him.

If the deal had been settled at ten thousand from the start, there wouldn't have been any problems.

The key was that it went from seven thousand to ten thousand, meaning that three thousand could have been saved!

"Chairman, I'm sorry. I didn't handle this matter well."

Ji Yongxiu was smart. He didn't offer any defense for himself, nor did he make any extra excuses. Instead, he stood at attention to take the scolding and took responsibility.

Hearing this, Li Wanchang let out a deep breath: "Ten thousand, ten thousand it is. This time, you must handle the matter well for me. In three days—no, in two days, I want to see the acquisition contract signed by Shen Ci!"

"Yes, Chairman, don't worry. There definitely won't be any mistakes this time."

"If you let a duck that's already in your mouth fly away, then there's no need for me to keep you!"

Ji Yongxiu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat on his forehead even over the phone: "I understand. Chairman, please get some rest early."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yongxiu looked up with a dejected face, calming his pounding heart.

"What's wrong?"

At this moment, a beautiful girl with a hot figure, wearing a black silk nightgown, came to Ji Yongxiu's side with two glasses of red wine and asked with concern.

Ji Yongxiu reached out to take the red wine, his hand naturally resting on her slender waist: "Troubles at work."

Hearing this, the girl's crystal-clear, alluring honey-peach lips curled into a smile: "Haven't you always been like a fish in water at the company, highly valued by the Chairman? This is the first time I've seen you troubled by work matters."

"I'm not a god; how could I handle everything smoothly?"

The girl's gaze lowered slightly, and she changed the subject, whispering: "Then have you paid attention to my matter? When exactly can you send me abroad to study?"

"The school is still being contacted. Don't worry. Since I promised you, I will definitely fulfill my promise. We've been together for so long; except for the matter of sending you abroad being stuck due to some uncertain factors, haven't I done everything else I promised you?"

"It's been almost two years; there should be some progress by now, right?" The girl's tone was a bit unhappy.

"Yes, yes, there will be news very soon, okay?" Ji Yongxiu coaxed her with great patience.

The girl nodded and gestured with her chin toward the bedroom, signaling Ji Yongxiu to go inside.

Seeing this, a flash of primal lust appeared in his eyes behind his glasses, and he asked in a low voice: "Are you wearing it?"

The girl gave a light tug at the belt of her nightgown, and the silk nightgown slowly slid to the floor. Ji Yongxiu's eyes went straight the moment he saw what she was wearing underneath.

The girl's expression shifted, her face becoming extremely cold. She commanded Ji Yongxiu, who was stunned, in a queen-like tone: "Kneel!"

The aura on Ji Yongxiu vanished in an instant. He slowly knelt down with a humble demeanor, assuming a posture of submission to the girl in front of him like a "dog."

And then, bit by bit, he "crawled" toward the room inside.

This day, the Second Middle School welcomed the first school-wide comprehensive exam of the new semester.

"Class monitor, you've already been recommended for admission; you don't even need to take the college entrance exam. Why are you still taking the comprehensive exam!"

Before the bell rang, a classmate teased Jiang Ran.

Another classmate chimed in: "The class monitor definitely wants to defend her title as the grade topper!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ran looked at the two classmates who were stirring up trouble and nodded seriously: "You actually guessed right. I'm aiming for first place."

"Your desire to win is too strong. Even with a recommendation, you're still pushing yourself so hard!" Her deskmate shook her head helplessly.

Jiang Ran didn't care about what these classmates were saying, because wanting to be first wasn't a shameful thing, and she was relying on her own ability; there was nothing to hide.

At this moment, a classmate suddenly said: "Class monitor, this time you have a very strong opponent!"

Upon hearing this, everyone instantly looked left and right.

"Who?"

Just as this voice fell, Shen Xing happened to walk into the classroom with his schoolbag on his back.

Someone instantly understood and said loudly: "Shen Xing! The set of papers for his transfer exam was the same as our senior year streaming papers, and his total score was four points higher than Jiang Ran's!"

Shen Xing didn't know what had happened and blinked his eyes, looking bewildered.

And the fact that he was a top student was already known to everyone in the class.

A male classmate who had a good relationship with him looked at Shen Xing and asked: "Shen Xing, do you have the confidence to take first place in the grade for this mock exam?"

Hearing this, Shen Xing subconsciously frowned and showed a look of confusion. Seeing this, everyone thought this kid had chickened out, only to hear him say lightly: "I've always been first in the grade!"

One sentence instantly caused the whole class to stir up trouble.

Jiang Ran also smiled.

"Shen Xing, the class monitor has also always been first in the grade. Let's see who can reach the top this time!"

Shen Xing turned to look at Jiang Ran, and saw Jiang Ran also smiling as she said: "Good luck. If you break my consecutive championship streak, then I'll apply to the teacher not to participate in the subsequent comprehensive exams!"

Hearing this, Shen Xing smiled and nodded slightly: "Okay. So that you can be more relaxed later and don't have to participate in exams, I'll definitely go all out."

"Oh my, is this the mutual appreciation between top students?"

"How come it's a bit shippable?"

As a result, the next second, Shi Jingming appeared at the door of Class 1 and waved at Shen Xing, who was sitting by the window: "Xing, come out for a second!"
