Chapter 200: Lin Sui, Go Home!
After keeping a low profile for over half a month, what was bound to come has finally arrived!
Feng Liu said calmly, "That is why I have taken action."
He had come to contact Lin Sui the very first moment he received this video.
The program production team is set to release this video in the next two days, and marketing accounts of their size, having received the news first, are already preparing to write articles attacking the Live Streamer for the behavior of earning money from anything and everything.
But when he saw that it was Lin Sui's face appearing in the video, Feng Liu still felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Because Lin Sui truly does earn money from anything and everything.
She has never once hidden or covered it up.
But he did not think Lin Sui was the type to swindle an old man; for the sake of the old man's few hundred thousand, to tell him she was his?
No matter how he thought about it, it felt bizarre.
Which young big brother in her Live Streaming Room isn't more appealing than an old man?
Is it worth it? It's the kind of thing that would give you nightmares just saying it out loud.
Once the video is released, it is destined that many media outlets will come to interview Lin Sui.
He knows well that some people in this industry will dig all sorts of traps and lead you on just to hear what they want to hear.
That is why Feng Liu came in person.
"I need to know the entire sequence of events," he asked Lin Sui.
Lin Sui had been waiting for this exact sentence, "Fortunately, I felt something was off at the time and kept a backup."
It just so happens that the Live Streaming playback has a screen recording; from when the old man entered her Live Streaming Room, when he tipped, and what she said during the time the old man was in the Live Streaming Room, the whole process is recorded.
Right up until she ended the stream, she had only thanked the old man once.
In the program team's video, the old man keeps appealing to the media, hoping that Lin Sui can go home soon.
He is waiting for her at the entrance of the village.
Lin Sui gave Feng Liu all the records of the old man's tips she had printed out yesterday, as well as the records of her refunding all the money to the old man via WeChat.
This was to prove that upon learning the old man's true intentions, she had already issued a full refund and blocked him.
The old man's move of seeking out the media is of unclear significance.
"Well done," Feng Liu praised Lin Sui for once.
She actually kept evidence at the very first moment.
Although it might still provoke dissatisfaction from some people—after all, some people just look down on the Live Streamer profession and will seize upon any slight disturbance and refuse to let go.
But it is enough to prove that Lin Sui did absolutely nothing wrong in this matter.
This does not constitute "black material" at all.
It is just that the matter of the old man waiting for her to go home might be laughed at for a while.
"I think this matter is still a bit strange," Lin Sui hesitated for a moment and continued, "Do you think he really doesn't understand the behavior of a Live Streamer trying to please the audience in a Live Streaming Room?"
"Then why does he know how to find the media and try to use public opinion to force me to submit?"
"..."
Feng Liu remained silent as he looked up at Lin Sui.
Lin Sui actually caught a trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he were taken aback by her being so sharp.
Lin Sui narrowed her eyes, "What is that look for?"
"Nothing, I just felt my worries might have been redundant," Feng Liu withdrew his gaze.
He had thought that if other peers came to find Lin Sui, she would be trapped and bullied; now it seems that with her brain turning so fast, it would be good if others didn't get trapped by her instead.
"What you said makes a lot of sense," he acknowledged Lin Sui's conjecture, "It is a lie that he doesn't understand you trying to please the audience in the Live Streaming Room; at his age, wanting to find a beautiful young wife is the truth."
He packed up all the evidence Lin Sui had brought out, "I will help you clarify this at the first opportunity; you don't need to look at online comments for a while."
Lin Sui was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Aren't you going to interview me? You're just going to leave after taking this evidence?"
Looking at his posture as if he were about to leave, Lin Sui hadn't expected it to be so fast.
Feng Liu paused, looking at Lin Sui's expectant eyes.
He sat back down on the sofa, took out his camera, and began recording Lin Sui.
"Then tell me your thoughts on this matter."
"Thoughts?"
Lin Sui sat straight on the sofa, her hands resting on her knees, looking impossibly well-behaved.
She thought for a while, then said loudly: "My thoughts are, Lin Sui, go home!!!"
Rather than being laughed at by others, she might as well play along with this meme herself.
"Go to my own home!"
"If you want to ask where my home is? The Company is my home!"
"I love every one of my fans, and in order for them to see my Live Streaming every day, I must go to my own home!"
Feng Liu: "..."
Lin Sui became more and more excited as she shouted; when the emotion reached its peak, it was even like a poetry recitation.
"Ah~ home is everyone's warm harbor~"
"That's enough."
Feng Liu turned off the camera in one motion.
A waste of memory.
Lin Sui's words were interrupted, and she pursed her lips, "... I've discovered that you..."
She wanted to say something, but realized he was helping her, so Lin Sui had to reach out and press on his shoulder, saying very sincerely: "I've discovered that you are exceptionally good!"
"Do I need you to tell me that?" Feng Liu pushed her hand away, "I'm leaving."
"Leaving already? Not going to play a while longer?"
Feng Liu waved his hand without even turning his head, "There will be plenty of time for that later."
Once Lin Sui makes her Company big and strong, and she produces more popular Live Streamers in the future, or collaborates with some big celebrity, he will probably have to run over here every single day.
Lin Sui walked him to the door and watched as he drove away in an inconspicuous van.
She leaned against the doorframe and sighed, "Feng Liu Ge, that guy, he's really something else."
"The people who have been exposed by him wouldn't think so."
Suyu's voice suddenly came from the side.
Lin Sui looked toward the source of the voice and saw Suyu holding a cup and a toothbrush, looking like she hadn't been up for long and was in the middle of washing up.
Lin Sui: "?"
"You still haven't changed that habit of yours of brushing your teeth at the Company entrance?"
Back in the suburbs, where the roadside was just bushes, it was understandable to want to breathe in some fresh air from the greenery.
Now that they've moved into the city, she's still brushing her teeth outside?
"You don't understand, this is called experiencing the mortal world's hustle and bustle," Suyu said.
Lin Sui sniffed, "Ah... that's the smell of car exhaust fumes, it's so foul."
Suyu: "..."
ˉ
As expected, the "Gotta Get Rich, Gotta Get Rich, Staring Contest" program aired the episode featuring the old man at noon the next day.
Originally, the netizens were just watching it for fun, after all, these kinds of things happen one after another.
But when they saw that the Live Streamer the old man was watching was Lin Sui, all sorts of voices came sweeping in like a tidal wave.
Coupled with some marketing accounts that had received the news in advance, they had already written articles attacking Lin Sui, claiming that cheating an old man out of his money was an immoral act.
Consequently, many people were led astray and began digging into Lin Sui's past Live Streamings.
As a result, they discovered that her Live Streaming had always been primarily about asking for money directly, and the evaluations from passersby were almost entirely one-sided.
There were all sorts of ways people were scolding Lin Sui.
Yong Xi, who had been on pins and needles for several days, saw that not only did Lin Sui not retaliate against him, but she had instead fallen into a public opinion storm herself.
He couldn't have been happier.
Every time he scrolled past videos digging into Lin Sui, he would keep liking them until he got tired.
Yang Xing felt extremely fortunate.
He even publicly stated in the Live Streaming Room: "I've always trusted my brother; he said this person's character was bad, so I never believed in her!"
He didn't mention any names, but everyone knew who his brother was, and who had a grudge against his brother.
