Chapter 195: How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?

"Do you know me?" Lin Sui raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, after signing with the platform, the platform started pushing traffic.

The popularity was spreading much faster than before.

Is this what it feels like to be a big internet celebrity?

It feels great.

The male Live Streamer opposite smiled, "Who wouldn't know you? I heard you opened a small Company and are poaching people everywhere?"

"..."

Lin Sui looked at Yang Xing on the other side, deep in thought for a moment.

When he said her name in his first sentence, she thought it might just be his personality.

Now that he started off with such a question, she was certain that he wasn't just being rude, but was trying to target her.

When people are popular, they attract trouble.

But Lin Sui could handle it.

She put on a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, "That's right, the Company may be small, but it can accommodate thousands. What's wrong? Are small companies not allowed to recruit?"

"How could that be?" Yang Xing leaned closer to the camera, giving Lin Sui a wink he clearly thought was very charming, "What do you think of me?"

Lin Sui's expression didn't change: "Not much, I'm not interested."

Yang Xing: "?"

"I have over thirty million followers across the entire web! You're not interested in me?" He seemed somewhat surprised.

Lin Sui blinked, "Does your boss know you want to jump ship?"

"..." Yang Xing fell into a mysterious silence.

After a while, he ignored Lin Sui's words entirely and analyzed it to himself: "Oh, I see you only have twenty million followers. You're not uninterested in me; you're afraid that if you sign me, I'll steal your spotlight."

Lin Sui: "?"

"Sorry, my Company prefers abstract Live Streamers, not unhinged ones."

This was just too narcissistic.

Is this what a big Live Streamer from a big Company is like?

He didn't seem to be able to take in what Lin Sui said, having already comforted himself.

He had decided that Lin Sui saying she wasn't interested in him was just because she was afraid he would steal her spotlight if he joined.

Just thinking about it made his smile a bit more sincere.

It was rare for Lin Sui to show a look of disgust toward a Live Streamer on the other side during a Live Streaming session.

This was harder to accept than some of the greasy guys she had encountered before.

"Let's play a round," Yang Xing said. "Whoever loses has to do one hundred squats."

Hearing this, Lin Sui was momentarily struck by a thought.

She said tentatively: "I thought people from your company were quite afraid of the exercise of doing squats."

The person opposite froze for a second, then quickly reacted, "What's there to be afraid of? It's not like everyone doesn't show their face."

"It should be very convenient for you to show your face and do squats, right? You won't refuse to do them just because you're a girl, will you?"

Lin Sui chuckled, "I can't tell if you're trying to avenge your colleague or kill two birds with one stone."

Although she had scrolled past some of the big internet celebrities from this company, Lin Sui had never encountered them in a PK, nor had she had any conflicts with them.

Lin Sui couldn't figure out when she had offended him for him to target her right from the start.

If it were about competition between companies, that would be even less necessary.

After all, he had said it himself: she was just a small Company.

If there were competition, shouldn't he be targeting someone like Fenghua?

But he had mentioned the punishment of squats.

The only thing Lin Sui could think of was that it had to do with Yong Xi.

Sure enough, as she guessed, Yang Xing stopped pretending.

"Never mind what I'm trying to do. I have nothing to say to someone like you who, after failing to poach someone, finds people to target others."

"Let's play a round. If you lose, do one hundred squats and apologize to Yong Xi while you're squatting!"

Lin Sui smiled: "You're quite righteous."

"Then if you lose, one hundred squats, plus one hundred 'Flower' gifts, sent to me."

Yang Xing was stunned, "Are you crazy? One hundred of those is three hundred thousand!"

Lin Sui looked completely innocent, "What? You want righteousness, I want money; neither of us is holding the other back."

Yang Xing: "Nobody asks for that much money!"

Lin Sui: "It's just compensation for slandering my reputation."

"You said in your Live Streaming Room of over two hundred thousand people that I targeted others because I failed to poach them—do you have proof? If you spread rumors and slander without proof, I'll sue you, won't I? The compensation will be more than three hundred thousand then."

"..."

His face looked ugly for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, "Who says I don't have proof? Do you dare say you didn't poach Yong Xi? When he wouldn't go, you told that person from your company, Suyu, to target him!"

"You even specifically sent the big donors from your Live Streaming Room to support Suyu, just so Suyu would beat him and then make unreasonable demands to humiliate him!"

"Now the whole web knows he can't handle losing! Isn't that your goal? It's really simple to destroy someone."

Lin Sui nodded in agreement, "It is indeed quite simple. Someone just has to flap their upper and lower lips, and you believe it."

"A brain is a good thing, it's a pity some people don't have one."

"Why don't you look at how many people are in your own Live Streaming Room, hmm? If you hadn't said anything, I wouldn't have even scrolled past the news that he was being scolded by the whole web. The fact that the whole web knows he can't handle losing—you might have played a major part in that."

Yang Xing: "..."

Lin Sui continued, "I don't even look down on you, so why would I poach him? Is your Company's corporate culture... narcissism?"

He might not have understood Lin Sui's sarcasm, but he understood what Lin Sui said: she didn't even look down on him, so it was even more impossible for her to look down on Yong Xi.

It meant that in her eyes, he was stronger than Yong Xi.

Yang Xing smiled inexplicably for a moment, then quickly restrained it, "Even if you say that to me, I still..."

"I still won't forgive you!"

"...?"

Lin Sui was speechless for a moment.

She suddenly felt a bit embarrassed to speak harshly; if he really had some kind of illness in that regard, and she spoke too harshly, it would deduct from her merit!

She pointed to her own head with some hesitation, "How long has this symptom of yours been going on?"

"I can tell you're insulting me!" Yang Xing sneered, "Let's just PK directly! If I lose, I'll give you one hundred Flowers; if you lose, not only do you have to apologize to Yong Xi, but you also have to apologize to me!"

Lin Sui: "..."

She felt like he was a silly kid being used as a pawn.

Lin Sui had always believed that a person with absolutely no merits could not become hugely popular.

Look, this Yang Xing was impeccable when it came to loyalty and righteousness.

Lin Sui said, "How about this, I actually have some dirt on your brother in my hands; why don't you pay a little money and buy it all at once?"

If you don't swindle a silly kid, who else can you swindle?

Yang Xing was confused for a moment, "What dirt?"

Lin Sui analyzed it with him earnestly, "Your brother is slandering me like this outside, and you also know I run a small Company; now, a little bit of gossip can easily drive a small company to a dead end, so I can't not fight back, right?"

"So I plan to fight back, but if you are willing to pay money to protect your brother, I can hold back."

Yang Xing didn't quite understand what Lin Sui meant.

He was still more inclined to believe his brother.

After all, Yong Xi looked honest, and the two of them were even in the same dormitory.

He had no reason to believe an outsider.

"It's just some... small matters that happened before your brother went to your Company; it's not expensive." Lin Sui swindled him step by step.

Yang Xing was still hesitating over whether what she said was true or false, when Yong Xi suddenly began frantically requesting to connect the microphone.
