Chapter 219: The Sense of Immersion is a Bit Too Strong

~16 min read 3,023 words

"You have a lot of potential to be a big Live Streamer, be more confident."

Boss Guan Miao patted Yong Xi on the shoulder as if to comfort him, a flicker of imperceptible light flashing in her eyes.

Yong Xi did not speak; his feelings for Lin Sui were very complicated now, and it couldn't simply be resolved by calling it jealousy.

He couldn't understand why Lin Sui, such a big Live Streamer, was always making things difficult for him.

He had already started fantasizing about the time when he would return after plastic surgery, having undergone a complete transformation to stun everyone; he would be the first to make Lin Sui get out of the Beauty Streamer track.

However, thinking of Lin Sui's face, Yong Xi's expression twisted with hatred, "Can you find out which hospital Lin Sui went to? I want to go."

Guan Miao was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't expected Yong Xi to have such great ambition.

To be honest, a Company of her level had private collaborations with plastic surgery hospitals behind the scenes.

Occasionally, they would recommend Live Streamers who weren't as good-looking to go get some work done, and the other party wouldn't charge too much in terms of money.

Someone like Yong Xi, who specifically requested to go to a good hospital, was the first of his kind.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to refuse, Yong Xi had already started pestering her.

"Boss~"

Guan Miao: "..."

The thing she valued most about Yong Xi was that he was very good at seducing people.

In terms of satisfying herself, he played quite wildly, which was very much to her liking.

That was a new sensation that her ex-husband, that old man, couldn't bring her.

Other than that, he didn't have any other merits.

The Company had existed for so long, and it was publicly claimed that her ex-husband was the boss; usually, those who wanted to hit on the boss went to hit on her ex-husband.

He was the first Live Streamer to bypass her ex-husband, see through the essence of the Company, and dare to hit on her, so Guan Miao gave him this opportunity.

But this did not mean he could be willful.

"This isn't something you can choose," Guan Miao said, "Don't have such high expectations for some things."

Lin Sui's face was out there; if it could be dug up which hospital she had surgery at, the industry would have dug it up long ago.

For such a perfect case, the hospital would have jumped out to claim credit long ago, as that would attract more people.

But there had been no movement for so long; either she hid it well, or it was purely natural.

If it could really be dug up, it wouldn't be Yong Xi's turn to go get surgery; she would have gone herself first!

ˉ

"Achoo—"

In one night, Lin Sui sneezed several times in a row.

Her nose had been rubbed red by her.

She didn't expect that someone would actually private message her asking which hospital she got plastic surgery at.

She dismissed them all as sarcastic haters.

Her plastic surgery hospital had a very big background, and ordinary people couldn't get in.

To this day, Lin Sui still didn't know how the system adjusted it for her.

It seemed that after receiving Beauty Point Addition, she really did become much prettier on the original foundation.

Such bizarre things were impossible for mortals to explain clearly.

Fortunately, there was no need to explain it to anyone.

In the Live Streamer profession, looks were certainly important, but talent was also important.

Complementing each other could form a winning hand to go further, but having one of them was also like having a big or small trump card.

This was the standard for Lin Sui's Company when recruiting Live Streamers.

…

"So you are... coming here simply because you feel sorry for me?"

Lin Sui hadn't expected that she would be able to personally interview a Live Streamer today.

Sitting face-to-face with Yang Xing in the office, Lin Sui felt the atmosphere was slightly awkward.

A Fu had been helping her tidy up things in the office, looking over here from time to time, observing every move the two of them made.

Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, causing Yang Xing to feel somewhat uncomfortable, to the point where he was very nervous.

The atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward.

"It can't be entirely said like that..." Yang Xing gently rubbed his pants with his hands resting on his lap, wiping away the sweat from his palms.

"What happened before was my fault; it might have caused you some trouble, and I still hope to receive your forgiveness."

He apologized to Lin Sui with a serious expression, "You don't have to feel embarrassed about me wanting to join the Company; you can refuse me directly."

Before, he had said her Company was a crappy little company, and now...

Yang Xing coughed lightly, and before Lin Sui could speak, he fought for another chance for himself.

"But I hope you can listen to my thoughts first; I have looked into your Company..."

Lin Sui waved her hand to interrupt him, "Oh my, a crappy little company, I wouldn't dare be called 'your'..."

Yang Xing: "..."

So did this count as a refusal?

"I understand." He lowered his head with self-awareness.

The next second, he heard Lin Sui say: "What do you understand? Keep talking."

Yang Xing: "...?"

So what exactly did she mean?

What she just said sounded like a rejection, yet she ended up telling him to continue?

Lin Sui didn't mean anything by it; she was just being snarky and wanted to be sarcastic.

After all, this person had looked down on her Company before.

But if he could really join her Company, it would definitely be a good thing.

Lin Sui was actually a bit surprised by his appearance.

She hadn't planned on poaching him, and even though she knew he had already been kicked out of GM Company, she didn't have much interest.

After all, from start to finish, Lin Sui only recruited people who would love her Company; even if they didn't have feelings for the Company at the start, they absolutely could not have a dismissive attitude.

If such a person came to the Company, it felt like they would jump ship at any moment, and it would be pointless to cultivate them.

That was why Yang Xing taking the initiative to come for an interview made her feel surprised.

But if the Company could painlessly acquire a big Live Streamer, it would definitely be a good thing.

Although Yang Xing's original account had already been reclaimed, it wouldn't be difficult to cultivate it back up.

Seeing that Lin Sui was truly waiting for him to continue, Yang Xing took a deep breath and still stated his value.

"I have looked into... the Company. So far, apart from you, Boss, the Company doesn't have... any particularly impressive big Live Streamers yet. Perhaps I can bring a different, new beginning to the Company."

Constantly recruiting small Live Streamers and new Live Streamers might take a long time before a hit appears.

But now that a hit was standing right in front of her, one that didn't require much effort to cultivate to bring in revenue, even a fool would know how to choose.

"As for you saying I came to the Company because I feel sorry for you... I don't actually have that much... sense of guilt."

After all, he had already apologized many times.

He wouldn't risk his own future because of this.

"I just feel that our Company has quite a lot of room for development..."

If someone like Feng Liu was at this company, why would he still think this company had no future?

He still understood the principle of accumulating strength for a long time to achieve success.

Lin Sui kept staring at Yang Xing's micro-expressions; seeing that he didn't dare to look at her much when he said this, it meant he still felt a bit guilty toward her.

And he dared to come even like this...?

She thought for a moment, turned her head to A Fu, who was trying to minimize his presence in the office and slacking off on the side, and said, "Call Feng Liu Ge over to receive him."

A Fu was about to do it immediately.

Yang Xing hurriedly shouted, "No, no, no... Fine, I admit it, I just think that since a big shot like Feng Liu Ge is at the Company, the Company will definitely be able to develop in the future."

Lin Sui squinted at him, "Feng Liu Ge is really doing well now, he even has fans."

Yang Xing: "... That doesn't count, right?"

He firmly believed that someone like Feng Liu, who could dig up anything, must have also realized that Lin Sui's company had a future before coming!

Feng Liu, who was currently catching up on sleep: "..."

No, he came to save his own life.

He had originally signed for group streaming and camera work, and could leave at any time after a month or two.

Now it was great; he had been worked into a long-term employee.

But fortunately, Lin Sui didn't restrict his freedom.

He could still do whatever he wanted just like before, it was just that if the Live Streamers in the Company had any internet-related issues, he had to help handle them.

For him, it was simply effortless.

As for realizing that Lin Sui's company would definitely have a future?

That wasn't the case at all.

This makeshift operation felt like it would collapse at any moment if Lin Sui didn't take on more work herself.

He was also prepared to run away at any time.

It was precisely because of this that he was extra concerned about Lin Sui's future.

Endless things to worry about every day.

He had stated his true thoughts, and Lin Sui had no reason not to take him in; she even arranged for him to be placed near Feng Liu, which was convenient for his "fanboying."

Yang Xing: "..."

Wouldn't that make it even easier for Feng Liu to dig up his dark history?

He wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Sui's expression, he ultimately didn't open his mouth.

Lin Sui left the remaining matters to A Fu.

She started playing with her phone on the side.

The Shahu Platform notified her that a Live Streamer she followed was live.

While opening the Sword God's live stream, Lin Sui also opened the recording of her own live stream from yesterday, comparing the voices of the two.

Yang Xing, who was checking the contract with A Fu, heard this familiar voice and looked up in surprise, "You're a fan of the Sword God too? You don't seem like someone who plays games."

Lin Sui raised her eyes and glanced at him, suddenly remembering that Yang Xing came from GM, didn't he?

It was normal for him to know this so-called Sword God.

"Come, come, buddy, you also know that since you came from a competitor's company, it's hard for us to trust your motives."

"Now, it's time for you to show your loyalty!"

She held two phones and placed them in front of Yang Xing.

Yang Xing twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Lin Sui and A Fu both staring at him "like tigers watching their prey."

The pressure was too strong.

It felt like he had entered a criminal organization.

"Is this how you usually communicate with people?" he asked weakly.

Lin Sui smiled slightly, "This kind of treatment is for you alone. Are you happy?"

"..." Happy my ass!

Yang Xing did not understand why Lin Sui was comparing the sounds using two mobile phones.

Ever since he was fired by his former company, he had been dealing with the aftermath and hadn't been online for a while, so naturally, he didn't know what had happened between Lin Sui and the Sword God.

It wasn't until he saw the public chat in Lin Sui's Live Streaming recording mocking her for being scammed that he understood a little something.

"No need to listen anymore, this is the same person."

Yang Xing said: "This voice is too recognizable; his Live Streaming Room used to be right next to mine."

After all, he was also a relatively big Live Streamer from the GM Company on the Yinfu Platform.

And the Sword God was a relatively big Live Streamer on the Shahu Platform.

So their Live Streaming Rooms were right next to each other, and they even met often.

But since the Live Streaming platforms were different, they didn't usually have much interaction.

The tone of the Sword God's speech was quite peculiar.

Even though they didn't interact much, Yang Xing could still tell.

At first listen, it sounded very gentle; listen closely, and it sounded very "greasy."

"If you let his fans listen to this, his fans would also admit that this is the same person."

Yang Xing glanced at the Sword God who was currently in the middle of a Live Streaming, "If you let him listen to it himself, he certainly wouldn't admit it."

After all, who would admit to running off with a payment?

The Sword God in the Live Streaming Room was doing a face-cam Live Streaming, and his voice was the same as the one he spoke with; he looked like a clean-cut big boy.

In her mind, Lin Sui pictured the way he looked when he was broken after being bullied by her several times.

Sure enough, a Live Streamer disguising their true self in front of the camera is a required course.

"What do you plan to do?" Yang Xing looked at Lin Sui curiously, "Are you going to ask Feng Liu Ge to investigate?"

Lin Sui came back to her senses and glanced at him, "Does a matter like this require him to take action?"

"If he doesn't take action and the other party refuses to admit it, what will you do?" Yang Xing asked back.

A voice alone cannot be used as evidence.

"I just wanted to confirm if he is a person from the GM Company..." Lin Sui looked at Yang Xing with a half-smile, "Why do you have the look that I will definitely take revenge on him?"

Yang Xing was shocked: "Ah? Won't you?"

Lin Sui: "I will."

She holds grudges.

Yang Xing: "..." He knew it; Lin Sui is not the type to suffer a loss.

Especially when it comes to money.

That was three hundred "Flower Gifts"!

Nine hundred thousand!

If it weren't for the sake of so much money, she might not have even accepted this kind of acting gig to drive traffic for a newcomer, right?

And yet, she still got played.

"I just think the relationships in your company are quite plastic," Lin Sui said, finding it somewhat funny.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was such a neurotic company.

After the cheater was exposed, they kicked out the one who didn't cheat instead.

When a company Live Streamer stood up for their own rights, they turned around and kicked out the one defending their rights too.

It was a "if you don't like it here, get out" kind of attitude.

Yet, this company was developing so well.

Is this the benefit of casting a wide net?

Back when the Yang Xing incident happened, their real boss, Guan Miao, not only fired Yang Xing but also fired her ex-husband.

Under these circumstances, if it were a small company, a big Live Streamer being fired would have resulted in the Live Streamer's fans tearing the company down.

Unfortunately, while Yang Xing had many fans, the fans of the other Live Streamers in the GM Company added up to even more.

Although they were very dissatisfied with Guan Miao's actions, their favorite Live Streamers were still in the company, so what could they do?

They could only curse the company while continuing to support their favorite Live Streamers individually.

The money tipped to the Live Streamers would be split with the company; there was no way around that.

So the GM Company was talked about by the public for a few days, cursed by Yang Xing's fans for a few days, and then it was as if nothing had happened.

Perhaps it was this confidence that allowed the boss to kick out those who looked at her with disapproval at any time.

Lin Sui was envious.

Being a boss like that is truly carefree.

But she didn't expect that Yang Xing, who seemed like such a sentimental person, would actually be so expectant of her taking revenge on his former colleague?

"Hmph."

As soon as this was mentioned, Yang Xing thought of that disgusting person, Yong Xi.

It wasn't just "quite plastic," it was extremely plastic!

It was practically toxic!

"I'm not saying I expect you to take revenge on him; he should receive the punishment he deserves for doing something like this."

He paused, then gritted his teeth and said: "It's still better than some people hiding behind a woman without a scratch!"

A Fu, who was standing behind Lin Sui: "?"

Who are you talking about?

Can't I even stand behind a woman now?

As if sensing A Fu's resentful gaze, Yang Xing raised her head and glanced at him.

She explained, "I wasn't talking about you, oh..."

A Fu: "..."

Lin Sui also turned her head to look at A Fu, "You don't have to apply everything you hear to yourself; your sense of immersion is a bit too strong, brother."

This kind of socially anxious person is just repressed and loves to overthink.

A Fu: "..."

?? Although it's one chapter, this chapter is 4000 words!!!! You are not allowed to talk about me!!!
