Chapter 139: Competitors

Hanging up the call with Seven-Colored Lotus, Lin Sui returned the phone to A Fu.

A Fu took the phone and was just about to say something when Lin Sui suddenly stood up and, before he could react, ran out of the office.

Running while shouting: "Thanks to Brother A Fu for sponsoring three 'Hua Zi'! I will keep this sentiment in my heart!"

Reimbursement?

Not a chance!

A Fu: "..."

Just as Lin Sui rushed out, she saw Suyu walking out of the Live Streaming Room while yawning; he had just finished his Live Streaming and was preparing to go back to sleep.

As if he had heard Lin Sui's words just now, he looked toward her side a bit more, "Didn't you already finish your Live Streaming? Why did he sponsor you three 'Hua Zi' again?"

"Eh, used his account to watch some beauties for a while," Lin Sui explained casually.

Suyu was shocked, "You guys play so wild now?"

Getting together to watch beauties after finishing a Live Streaming? What kind of operation is this?

Lin Sui went over and gave his shoulder a poke, "What are you thinking? A beauty is coming to the Company tomorrow, I don't have time, you entertain her."

Suyu: "? No, you want me to sell my looks to entertain the big sister? That requires extra pay."

Lin Sui: "..."

These people are all starting to go bad; first there was A Fu wanting reimbursement, then Suyu wanting extra pay.

The Company's tenet of wanting money everywhere had finally taught them well.

"None." Wanting money from her, unless it's when next month's salary is issued.

"The one coming tomorrow is a new colleague. Among so many Live Streamers in the Company, only you are a bit more reliable, so entertain her well!"

Suyu: "..."

Should have known better than to run his mouth.

Seeing A Fu come out of Lin Sui's office, Lin Sui took to her heels and ran, fearing A Fu would ask her for money.

Suyu blocked A Fu's path directly.

In Lin Sui's eyes, that was doing a good deed.

A Fu looked at him slightly strangely, "Is something the matter?"

Suyu's expression was very serious at first, but after A Fu spoke, he suddenly started laughing, with a bit of lewdness, "When will Brother A Fu come to my Live Streaming Room to look around?"

Since entering the Company, A Fu hadn't really kept an eye on his Live Streaming Room.

Thinking of how A Fu often kept an eye on Shen Ti and Lin Sui—Lin Sui goes without saying, he was the 'Big Brother' of her Live Streaming Room, so it was normal for him to tip a lot.

But he had tipped hundreds of times in Shen Ti's Live Streaming Room! How tempting is such a benefit? It should be his turn now!

A Fu looked at him inexplicably, "Look around? That's a place for recycling second-hand phones."

Suyu: "?"

After A Fu finished speaking, he walked around Suyu and left, leaving Suyu standing there in a daze.

It was only after a long while that he shouted: "They didn't pay, don't just advertise randomly!"

Since when do such serious people make these kinds of jokes?!

ˉ

The place Xie Jing sent was not far from the address of Lin Sui's new Company.

When Lin Sui drove to the agreed location the next day, she couldn't find a trace of Xie Jing anywhere.

She even started to suspect that this guy had his beauty filters turned up too high in the Live Streaming Room, to the point where there was a gap with reality.

"Lin Sui, we're over here!"

Someone suddenly called her from behind.

Lin Sui turned back to look and saw Xie Jing waving at her.

Standing beside him was a very fashionably dressed beauty.

"Sorry, kept you waiting, right? I went to pick up Yu Jie first just now," he walked toward Lin Sui.

"I just arrived too," Lin Sui replied.

Hearing her say this, Xie Jing smiled, "I'll treat you to lunch."

He introduced them to each other: "This is Yu Qingyu, Yu Jie."

"This is Lin Sui, she should be younger than us, you should call her little sister."

Lin Sui: "..."

Coming out for a trip and her seniority got suppressed.

Yu Qingyu nodded at Lin Sui, "I know you, you've been very famous lately."

Lin Sui nodded and said without false modesty: "I do have a bit of small popularity."

"Let's talk as we walk," Xie Jing led the way for the two of them to the recording studio.

After hearing Lin Sui's immodest words, he suddenly laughed out loud, "You might not have heard Yu Jie's name; two years ago, Yu Jie was just as popular as you are now, to the point where the whole internet knew her."

Lin Sui was stunned for a moment, "So she's a senior Live Streamer."

She asked curiously: "Did she retire from the internet later?"

She really hadn't heard the name Yu Qingyu in the Live Streaming circle these past two years, and she wasn't at the last Yinfu Platform awards gala either.

Yu Qingyu explained herself: "You could say that, I returned to family life these past two years."

Xie Jing continued: "It just so happens that Yu Jie is making a comeback, and I happen to be releasing an album, so I invited her to sing a duet with me, and also to give her fans a surprise."

Lin Sui understood.

However, this kind of behavior of returning after retiring from the internet definitely wouldn't have the same popularity as back then.

After all, new people on the internet emerge one after another; the audience that watched her back then has matured, and the new batch of audience members might not necessarily be her target demographic.

Having only just met, Lin Sui had already started worrying about Yu Qingyu's popularity.

There was no other reason, simply because...

"You haven't signed with a Company yet since you're preparing for your comeback, right?"

For an old-school internet celebrity like this, no matter what, she would certainly have popularity in the beginning; it just depended on whether she could keep up with the trends of this era later on.

This was the reaction she should have as a boss.

Yu Qingyu smiled slightly and didn't make a sound, her smile carrying a hint of something ambiguous.

Xie Jing glanced at Lin Sui and whispered, "It seems you really don't know her. I thought that after hearing the name, you would at least find it familiar."

After all, Yu Qingyu's affair had once trended on social media; since they were all in the Live Streaming circle, they should have known.

Now it seemed that Lin Sui was indeed a newcomer Live Streamer in the Live Streaming circle.

Lin Sui: "..."

Ashamed, she had probably only been an internet user for a year before becoming a Live Streamer herself.

Yu Qingyu had retired from the internet two years ago, so who would know her?

Just as she said, the new batch of internet users might be like her and not be too familiar with Yu Qingyu.

Xie Jing explained to her, "Yu Jie's Company is Fenghua Media. Back then, Fenghua Media declared they would always keep a spot for Yu Jie, waiting for her return, so she has a Company, and that Company has been waiting for her."

"After she finishes recording the song, they will probably build momentum for her comeback; her Company treats her very well."

He reminded Lin Sui, "Don't go poaching everyone you see!"

How could a big internet celebrity possibly look favorably upon her small Company!

To put it bluntly, it was a bit overestimating her own capabilities.

Lin Sui was silent.

Well, when it comes to life, one should act when the time is right; if you don't try, how would you know if they are willing or not?

She did feel that this Fenghua Media sounded a bit familiar.

It seemed to be the Company of that Seven-Colored Lotus?

Who would have thought that things could connect from here?

Lin Sui glanced at Yu Qingyu.

Yu Qingyu slanted her eyes to look at her and suddenly asked, "Do you know how I became famous back then?"

"What?" Lin Sui asked.

Yu Qingyu smiled slightly, her eyes scanning Lin Sui from top to bottom, and spat out three words: "By looks."

Lin Sui: "?"

A competitor, then!
