Chapter 264: A Total Mess

Guan Miao didn't even reimburse him for the money spent on Red Envelopes.

There were too many people in the fan groups to send to, so naturally, he couldn't be as generous as Lin Sui.

Just sending Red Envelopes of 88.88 or 66.66 would suffice.

ˉ

Guan Miao had been waiting for fans to post screenshots of the Red Envelopes Yong Xi sent, just like Lin Sui's fans posted the Red Envelopes Lin Sui sent them.

As it turned out, after searching both the Yinfu Platform and the Sha Shou Platform, she couldn't find a single person posting about them.

Everything that came up was Lin Sui.

It was as if she had monopolized this topic.

What about Yong Xi's??

Guan Miao had an alt account in Yong Xi's top fan group, and she couldn't help but ask in the group.

"Has no one in our group received a Red Envelope from Xinian?"

The reply she got was: "Received one."

"Then why don't you post it? You could even recommend Xinian to others while you're at it," Guan Miao asked in the group, adopting the tone of a fan.

"……"

As soon as this sentence appeared, the group was flooded with a string of ellipses.

One of the big sisters said: "It's too little, it's a bit embarrassing."

Guan Miao: "???"

She remembered this big sister; she often competed for the top spot on the leaderboard in Yong Xi's Live Streaming Room.

Wealthy people would indeed feel that a Red Envelope of a few hundred is small.

After all, a single Carnival costs them 3,000!

But what about the other fans?

Do the other fans also think it's too little?

Aside from the big sisters in the top ten, how many Carnivals have the other fans sent? They think a few hundred is too little?

Guan Miao was a bit curious.

But before she could ask more, a nosy fan in the group had already asked out of curiosity.

"How much did you receive, big sister?"

"99.99."

Even when typing this number, the big sister felt embarrassed.

She usually believes that it's the thought that counts, and she accepts that.

She accepts that reasoning now too, but on the condition that she isn't asked to go out and promote him.

With this little money, it's not even enough to buy trending topics.

And she's supposed to promote him?

Promote just how stingy Xinian is?

As a top fan of Xinian, she didn't even receive 100 yuan.

"Hahahaha, seeing that the big sister didn't get over a hundred either, I feel relieved; I only got 18.88."

The group burst into laughter.

How much of that was sarcastic, there was no way to know.

Guan Miao frowned deeply, "Did you guys add an extra decimal point?"

The big sister immediately tagged Guan Miao: "Did you receive a big Red Envelope? How come I've never seen you on the leaderboard?"

Guan Miao: "……I'm new here."

Big sister: "This group requires a fan badge level, what's your badge level?"

Guan Miao: "……"

Big sister: "Where are the admins? Kick her, I don't know how she snuck in."

Guan Miao: "……"

Before she could even say anything else, she was kicked out of the group chat.

That's too much!

…

Guan Miao immediately went to question Yong Xi, who was preparing to start a Live Streaming.

"I told you to learn from Lin Sui and send Red Envelopes to your fans; how much did you send?"

Yong Xi was stunned for a moment, not expecting to be exposed so quickly.

He subconsciously took out his phone to see if anyone in the group was complaining.

As a result, he saw the group chat between Guan Miao and the big sisters.

Guan Miao leaned against the doorway of the live streaming room, staring at him with a sour expression, "Explain yourself."

Yong Xi guiltily shifted his gaze elsewhere, "I…… there were too many people to send to, I didn't have that much money……"

"What about the money you earned? Didn't I pay you a salary?" Guan Miao was getting angry.

Now that he's popular, he's starting to try and fool her, is he?

Yong Xi pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and put on a pitiful expression, "I sent them, but I took my money back to give to my parents; you know, my family situation has always been bad……"

Then he began his "sincere and heartfelt" input, which lasted for half an hour.

From his family of origin to the setbacks he faced after starting work, and what a hard life he lived before being with Guan Miao, and how things slowly got better after being with her.

Not only did he play the victim, but he also painted Guan Miao as the noble person who saved him.

He hinted both openly and covertly that he felt his current salary was not enough and hoped for a raise.

It was precisely for this reason that he only gave the fans such a small Red Envelope.

After hearing this, Guan Miao: "..."

How should she put it?

Her heart was completely calm, and she was even a little amused to the point of anger.

She waved her hand at Yong Xi, said nothing, turned around, and left.

Yong Xi let out a sigh of relief.

If she didn't say anything, didn't that mean the matter had passed?

There shouldn't be any problems now, right?

Would she give him a raise later?

Next, he just needed to perfunctorily appease the fans who received the Red Envelope.

He would start the Live Streaming immediately to "appease" them!

ˉ

That night, when Lin Sui was Live Streaming, Guan Miao also came.

However, this time she just stayed quietly in the Live Streaming Room without posting any comments, trying her best to minimize her presence in the Live Streaming Room.

Because many Live Streamers hadn't returned from their holidays, and not many people were watching the Live Streaming, Lin Sui had been pulling Shen Ti to do team-building Live Streaming during this period.

Later, feeling that it was boring for A Fu and Feng Liu to guard outside the Live Streaming Room, she pulled them in as well.

Since it was the New Year, they wouldn't do anything too fancy.

The four of them were Live Streaming playing mahjong!

A Fu and Shen Ti didn't know how to play, so they learned the hard way.

In the end, both of them were flushed red from playing; Shen Ti was shrieking in the Live Streaming Room, and A Fu was lying on the table covering his face.

Because their bet was that whoever lost had to have something drawn on their face.

There wasn't a single good spot left on Shen Ti and A Fu's faces.

Feng Liu and Lin Sui were slightly better off.

Lin Sui was very annoyed, "Damn it, if I had known, I would have bet Carnivals! I should have made you lose until you didn't even have your underwear left!"

Feng Liu agreed quite a bit, "Sigh, I almost became a millionaire."

A Fu said sullenly, "I'd rather gift you Carnivals."

The background noise was mixed with Shen Ti's donkey-like braying.

On the public screen of the Live Streaming Room.

LV70 Gu Xing: "What's the point of you bullying people who don't know how to play? If you have the ability, let me come!"

Unfortunately, they were all busy playing cards, and all four of them couldn't see his message.

He was so anxious that he gifted a few Carnivals to let the sound effects remind them.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard the sound effect of a Carnival, Lin Sui stopped playing cards and turned back to thank for the gift.

"Thanks to my sister Gu Xing for the Carnival! What? You want to come too? Fine, I'll give you an address."

LV56 Lin Dan Da: "I want to come too!"

LV52 Ke Ai Gui: "I want to come too!!"

"Come, come, come, all of you come."

Lin Sui didn't turn anyone away and posted the address directly in the Live Streaming Room.

Guan Miao, who was observing in secret: "..."

How could she be so natural at getting along with the audience? Didn't she need to keep some sense of distance?

They came as soon as they said they would.

Gu Xing and Lin Dan Da arrived after a while; the two had met before, so there was no need for pleasantries.

They rushed directly into the Live Streaming Room and swapped out Shen Ti and A Fu.

An hour later, Yan Xing'ai, bundled up tightly, appeared in Lin Sui's Company with Yan Yushu.

Yan Yushu was written all over with resistance, but she was still dragged over by Yan Xing'ai.

It was hard to get a holiday; if she had known she could play with Sui Sui, she would have come as soon as the holiday started!!

Besides these people, there were also some fans in Jiangcheng who lived nearby and came to take a look.

Lin Sui gave up her seat at the card table to Yan Yushu.

She went to entertain other fans who came to play.

Yan Xing'ai hadn't had enough of the Live Streamer addiction yet, so she started singing directly in the Live Streaming Room, and was even eager to try starting a PK.

At the card table, Feng Liu and Yan Yushu met like enemies, their eyes burning with hatred.

Lin Dan Da and Gu Xing prepared to have a big go at it, to tell everyone what a God of Gamblers was!

Beside them, Yan Xing'ai sat on the side chatting with the people on the public screen, itching to start a PK.

A Fu and Shen Ti, who had been swapped out, were in the corner with painted cat faces, chatting about fitness tips.

Lin Sui introduced the Company to the other fans who had just arrived, then took photos, hugged, signed autographs, and arranged a mahjong table for them!

【Match successful!】

【Lin Sui PK Zhao Jiajun-Zhao Zongshuai】

Finally, Yan Xing'ai still couldn't hold back and pressed the PK button.

She actually connected to an acquaintance.

The sound of a PK started, and everyone in the Live Streaming Room was taken aback, glancing simultaneously at Yan Xing'ai, who was sitting in front of the camera.

"Hehe..." Yan Xing'ai turned her head and smiled at them.

Everyone went back to their own business.

Things had reached this point, it was already a complete mess, so might as well drink it while it's hot!

Even though it was Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, there was everyone in the frame except for Lin Sui.

What is going on?

Because Lin Sui was off-camera, greeting fans who didn't want to appear on screen.

Until the voice of Xiangcai Jie came from the neighboring Live Streaming Room of Zhao Zongshuai.

"Yan Xing'ai? Yan Yushu? What are you two doing in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room?!"

"!!!"

Yan Xing'ai and Yan Yushu shuddered.

They didn't expect that a random connection would lead them to their own boss.

Once this voice came out, Lin Sui couldn't help but lean toward the camera, seeing Xiangcai Jie sitting in the neighboring Live Streaming Room.

She let out a shocked sound, "Xiangcai Jie, you... you truly are the woman among women, the dominator among women! Awesome!"

How much time has even passed? You've already managed to get into Zhao Zongshuai's Live Streaming Room?

Did you finally manage to win over a handsome man?

Too awesome!

Xiangcai Jie: "..."

Being told this by Lin Sui, she felt a little embarrassed.

"You... don't you dare think about having the big stars of my company work for you under the table!"

To think she actually let this brother and sister pair go to her Live Streaming Room to stream?

Excessive!

Lin Sui didn't pick up on that topic at all, "Sister, where's the handsome man?"

"Little sister, missed me, huh?" Zhao Zongshuai's handsome face suddenly appeared in front of the camera, grinning as if he were looking at Lin Sui through the lens.

Lin Sui greeted him, "Not really."

"Just thinking, since we're already connected, how about a PK?"

Zhao Zongshuai: "Isn't that a must?"

Xiangcai Jie: "Can you not use that accent when you speak?"

It's truly stomach-churning.

Zhao Zongshuai: "Yes! Big Sister!"

Xiangcai Jie: "..."

Lin Sui got excited, "Today's round is a PK battle between your Big Sister and my Big Sister!"

She explained in an excited tone: "At the same time, it's a popularity battle between boss and employee! Who is the true king of popularity? Let's wait and see!"

After saying that, she directly handed the Live Streaming Room over to Yan Xing'ai, who wanted to play the PK.

Yan Xing'ai immediately got into the zone.

"OK family, although this is Sui Sui's Live Streaming Room, I won't take a single cent of the tips given to Sui Sui! So everyone, feel free to go all out for me! This is the only chance to make my boss listen to me! Family—I'm begging you, let me win, okay?"

Originally full of high spirits, it turned into bitter pleading by the end.

She really understands the art of contrast.

Lin Sui sighed in her heart.

Once again, she felt that Yan Xing'ai was a natural talent for Live Streaming.

Guan Miao, who had been lurking the whole time: "..."

This massive team-building event by Lin Sui was truly too lively.

While the audience in the Live Streaming Rooms of other major streamers had halved, the number of people in her Live Streaming Room was actually rising steadily.

Looking from the outside, the audience count was stuck at 500k and couldn't be checked further.

But almost seventy percent of the audience watching Live Streaming on the Yinfu Platform at this time had been attracted over.

The popularity of other Live Streaming Rooms had dropped significantly, and only Lin Sui's place stood firm.

There was mahjong for the card lovers to watch, fitness exchanges for the gym crowd—although they were a bit far away, one could vaguely hear what they were saying.

Plus the addition of two big stars, a victory for the visual-oriented crowd.

With handsome men and beautiful women gathered in one place, who wouldn't want to take a few extra looks?

How could she compete with this?

With that forever stingy, forever playing-the-victim Yong Xi?

Sigh...

No matter how arrogant Guan Miao was, after witnessing her pig-teammates, she had no moves left.
