Chapter 213: The Amount He Gave Was Simply Too Much

The first day this happened, by the second day, when it reached this part of the event, quite a few people brought gifts for Lin Sui.

Fans with means even brought quite a few luxury brands.

The scene was such that a crowd of people lined up, wanting to put these items into Lin Sui's hands as if they didn't cost a thing.

It left the passersby nearby and other people's fans bewildered.

"Is this Live Streamer verifying the authenticity of luxury goods? Interesting."

Those lining up for her were almost at the point of having one luxury item per person.

"What is this? These are gifts prepared for her!"

"Her fans are this well-off? How much money would these things be worth if resold?"

"Is her Company short on money? It might be small, but it's not short on money, okay? Another Live Streamer from the company, called TT, is even giving away cash prizes right next door!"

"Damn, that's awesome? I want to go too!"

"Save it, there's a threshold; who would give that to a passerby like you?"

"Is it too late for me to start following them now?"

…

It was clearly meant to be a business operation to attract tourists, but it was played out into a fan meeting.

However, for interactive activities like taking photos, passersby could also go find Lin Sui.

It's just that without fan status, one couldn't touch the Blind Box, but that didn't have much impact.

The face is there, the popularity is there.

Lin Sui was already feeling great today.

Seeing so many people bring gifts to line up, what is called "face"?

This is "face"!

However, except for fresh flowers and letters, Lin Sui didn't accept any of it.

She held a megaphone and shouted to the side: "Family members who bought expensive gifts, please take them back and return them. I was joking with you yesterday; I don't accept them here."

If she dared to accept them today, she would be on the trending search tomorrow!

"What kind of families are you all from, buying this kind of stuff to give away? Hurry up and return them!"

Fan 1: "I'm rich, I'm an upstart who won the lottery."

Fan 2: "I'm a second-generation rich kid."

Fan 3: "I'm a first-generation entrepreneur."

Lin Sui: "……I choose to go die."

How is everyone so rich!

The upstart's little fan whispered to Lin Sui: "I won the prize after buying your Lucky Crystal Bracelet before. Sigh, it's a pity you don't sell those anymore."

"!!!" Lin Sui was shocked.

She thought that thing just gave a little bit of metaphysical luck; she didn't expect it to bring such great luck?

The upstart said again: "So just accept it. If you don't keep it, I won't feel at ease."

Lin Sui: "……I won't accept it. Next time, come to my Live Streaming Room and tip more."

Now it was fine; she was the one starting to feel uneasy.

If she had known, she would have kept one for herself!

It was a pity that the thing was too easy to imitate; she remembered that not long after she started selling them, a bunch of pirated versions using her name appeared.

The problem was that some merchants just pirated them, and the crystal materials they used weren't good—they even had radiation. It was too deceptive.

Wouldn't she be the one getting scolded when that happened?

The upstart shook hands with Lin Sui, "Next time for sure, next time for sure."

She insisted repeatedly on not accepting, and the others had no choice but to carry them in and carry them out.

The guests and passersby at other booths were green with envy.

How exactly did she manage not to be tempted by luxury goods?

Lin Sui: I only pretended not to be tempted, but my heart was weeping.

This offline event lasted for several days, and major platforms were flooded with news of this event in Jiangcheng. Many netizens came for the reputation, which indeed boosted the economy quite a bit.

There were also dedicated live streaming feeds online broadcasting the situation at the major booths.

The most widely circulated one was the segment where Yang Xing came to find Lin Sui, as well as various videos online of Yang Xing and Yong Xi fighting over the booth.

There was more than just Feng Liu present at the time; even if Feng Liu deleted the video, other netizens would have exposed it.

After all, eating melons is human nature.

Combining this argument video recorded by netizens with the conversation between Lin Sui and Yang Xing in the Live Streaming Room at the time, everyone knew that Yang Xing had been backstabbed by Yong Xi.

Some netizens started digging into their situation, and ended up digging up the live streaming clip where Yang Xing had angrily confronted Lin Sui for the sake of Yong Xi.

He had even firmly believed that Yong Xi was an honest person!

With these events laid out, who wouldn't say that Lin Sui is a decent person?

After being confronted like that by Yang Xing, and seeing Yang Xing get backstabbed offline, she was still willing to help him analyze the situation.

Although it sounded like brainwashing.

In short, after the event ended, "Yang Xing owes Lin Sui an apology" hit the trending list!

Yang Xing didn't equivocate either; after returning home, he recorded a sincere apology video, posted it on social media, tagged Lin Sui, and pinned it.

With such high efficiency, for a moment, netizens didn't know whether they should continue scolding him or not.

After all, this guy really follows through when there's a punishment, and he really apologizes when he's wrong.

ˉ

"There must be an expert guiding this guy behind the scenes!"

Lin Sui had been busy outside for several days, and upon returning, she just lay down.

Seeing the public opinion fermenting online and the way Yang Xing handled it, it could simply be called textbook-level.

She felt that the other party shouldn't be that smart.

Otherwise, could he have been fooled by Yong Xi to this extent?

It definitely wasn't something he thought of himself.

With this move, he shifted the netizens' crusade from scolding both of them together to scolding only Yong Xi.

After all, regarding the matter between Yang Xing and Lin Sui, he had already apologized; what more could they want?

Ever since Yang Xing first spoke up for him, Yong Xi had been playing dead until now, except for that one time he couldn't help but request to join the Voice Room to say a few words.

Now that the matter had been dug up again, he was still playing dead, not responding, and not doing any Live Streaming.

Yang Xing's fans were holding back their anger, just waiting for the event to end.

Taking advantage of the fact that the wind wasn't blowing in Yong Xi's favor, this group of people rushed to the official account of the Jiangcheng event organizers to question why someone like Yong Xi had suddenly been parachuted in as a guest.

The officials only said they would investigate, and then there was no follow-up.

In this kind of situation, if no serious impact was caused, there usually wouldn't be any follow-up.

But Yang Xing's tens of millions of fans were not to be trifled with; they kept bringing up the reputation of the entire city of Jiangcheng, forcing the officials to actually investigate.

The investigation result was that a certain leader inside the event had taken money from the GM Company boss to stuff him in.

Now, that certain leader had already been dismissed.

It was truly an unsurprising investigation result.

Once this result came out, the focus shifted from Yong Xi and Yang Xing fighting over the booth and Yong Xi entering this event through the back door, slowly moving toward what kind of relationship Yong Xi had with the GM Company boss.

How could a faceless, obscure, small-time Voice Room Live Streamer suddenly be favored by a big company boss, who was willing to offend the company's veteran Live Streamers just to build hype for him?

As for the relationship, there were only a few possibilities.

Either an illegitimate child, or a lover.

It couldn't possibly be because he appreciated his talent, right?

If his talent were really that top-tier, he would have become famous long ago!

The discussions on the internet never stopped.

This kind of step-by-step exposure, guiding netizens to uncover the truth bit by bit...

Lin Sui tentatively sent a message to Feng Liu, "You didn't go out to earn extra money behind the Company's back, did you?"

Feng Liu: "..."

Feng Liu: "You could even guess that?"

He had even specifically hidden it, not exposing it directly like he used to, but instead guiding netizens to check for themselves; yet, he was still discovered?

Damn it!

His limelight had been too big recently; if everyone kept an eye on him in the future, he wouldn't be able to go out and dig up scoops.

Lin Sui: "You should use some fake news to confuse them."

It was just that he liked using real news, making people feel satisfied with the gossip all at once.

Feng Liu: "..."

Lin Sui asked again: "Did Yang Xing find you?"

Feng Liu: "Yeah, the other party paid way too much."

After the first day of the event ended, Yang Xing found him, discussed this matter with him, and asked him to help expose it.

Thinking that Lin Sui didn't get along with this Yong Xi anyway, he agreed.

Lin Sui: "How much did he give?"

Feng Liu: "One million."

Lin Sui: "..."

Heh.

He didn't care for twenty million, but one million is "way too much," is it?

Lin Sui: "I want a cut!"

Feng Liu: "No."

Lin Sui: "→_→"

Feng Liu: "Enough talk, there's more inside information; this GM Company boss seems to have been cheated on! Let me go check."

Lin Sui: "...?"

She was about to treat this company as an object to surpass, but how did this company start by stabbing itself a few times?
