Chapter 275: Are You in Love with Me?

~9 min read 1,636 words

"Enough talk, send me the money! Once the money is sent, I still have other things to handle," Lin Sui said with iron-faced impartiality.

Regardless of whether it was the system that topped it up, the agreed-upon Ten-fold Withdrawal could not be a single cent less!

【...】 The system tried to play dead.

Lin Sui: "What happened to the 'alien system doesn't lie to Chinese people' promise?"

System: 【...】

【Fine, fine, fine, it's the last month anyway, you win!】

The system was out of options.

If it weren't for the sake of completing the final data, it would have run away long ago!

Its precious little money!!

Just as the system wanted to move the money into the system data's little treasury, it was rejected by Lin Sui.

"You're leaving soon, the money should go back into my bank card."

System: 【...】

Lin Sui was even more rigorous than it was.

She really wasn't willing to suffer even the slightest loss.

After receiving the massive sum, Lin Sui paid what needed to be paid and taxed what needed to be taxed.

The next day, she went to the bank to open two more cards.

As expected, last night's Live Streaming hit the trending topics.

It had started trending right after Lin Sui ended her stream last night and was still being talked about now, but she had been too busy arguing with the system about money to pay much attention to anything else.

Now, she finally had the time to take a look.

As expected, this incident didn't have much of an impact on Lin Sui.

At most, some people were confused about how she became popular and why someone would tip her so much money; this included some conspiracy theory-style comments.

The trending topics were more focused on A Fu's family background.

And whether the massive amount of money Shen Ti tipped contained any of his father's embezzled funds.

She had told him that his status made it inconvenient to tip someone so much money, but he really didn't listen at all.

Regardless of whether his father was a good person or a bad person, with that status, his spending so much money would inevitably be questioned.

If he was a bad person, questioning him might lead to him being replaced; if he was a good person, without clarification, he would continue to be affected by public opinion.

In the end, they would still have to find PR.

Guan Miao and Guan Fu's identities had actually been dug up, but there wasn't much to say; this family was also wealthy.

It was just a pity they weren't as rich as A Fu on the other side.

These wealthy people's displays of throwing money around like water made the trending topic about Xinian being a male homewrecker with Yong Xi seem insignificant.

Sure enough, people cared more about the every move of the wealthy.

Lin Sui called Feng Liu to record a video as a witness, and she took the card to find Shen Ti.

She urgently did some PR for him, pretending that the Company had provided the money for him to tip last night, and that it had nothing to do with his personal actions or his father.

She also took the opportunity to return the money Shen Ti had tipped her last night.

Shen Ti felt that this action of hers was looking down on him and was just about to refuse when Feng Liu's camera lens was shoved almost right into his face.

In front of the lens, he accepted it after all.

Once the camera was off, Shen Ti started whining.

"Sui Sui, are you looking down on me? Why did you have to return the money to me?"

Lin Sui was just about to leave with Feng Liu, but upon hearing this, she blinked at him, "It's not just looking down on you; I'm also looking down on A Fu. I'm going to return the money to him in a bit too."

"..." Hearing her say that, Shen Ti felt relieved all of a sudden.

"I knew it, anything he can give, I can give too. If Suyu hadn't been holding me back yesterday, I would have definitely..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Sui, "Alright, alright, I'm very grateful for what happened yesterday, but you can't keep acting recklessly, you know? Spending a little money to watch a Live Streamer is fine, but if you spend huge amounts of money without any sense of proportion again, I'll beat you up!"

Shen Ti looked moved, "Sui Sui, are you already thinking about saving money for me? Are you in love with me?"

Lin Sui: "?"

Feng Liu, who was standing nearby, silently delivered a finishing blow: "She just doesn't want to clean up your mess anymore. Take a good look at the trending topics, you have erotomania!"

Shen Ti: "?"

What cleaning up a mess, how disgusting!

Lin Sui sighed, silently turned around, left his room, and went to find A Fu.

The only part of this PK she had ever wanted to profit from was the Ten-fold Withdrawal.

System: 【...】

Xinian next door had already been exposed; the money for last night's PK had been provided by his Company.

Then she could also turn this PK into a battle between two companies.

The only ones who might get hurt were those fans who had been emotionally invested.

However, things were fine on Lin Sui's side; she had sent out Red Envelopes, and quite generous ones at that, so no fans were complaining.

The fans of Xinian next door were already in an uproar.

If they had known he had a company backing him, they wouldn't have tipped so much last night!

When Lin Sui found A Fu, A Fu had a steamed bun in his mouth and was working.

"Why are you eating this?" Lin Sui glanced at him with curiosity.

A Fu turned his head to look at her; this kid couldn't hide anything at all.

That expression on his face, as if he had been waiting for her to come over, was impossible to hide.

A Fu sat in his chair, looking at her innocently, and took the steamed bun out of his mouth while he was at it.

He opened his mouth and started playing the victim, "I have no money to eat..."

After acting on impulse last night and throwing away his entire fortune, it was time to fish for sympathy and ask to be taken in.

Lin Sui frowned, but before she could finish, Feng Liu, who was standing to the side holding a camera, said, "The Company cafeteria doesn't charge."

Lin Sui nodded in approval.

A Fu: "..."

He had thought this Feng Liu didn't look like a good person from the very beginning!

While A Fu was secretly glaring at Feng Liu, Lin Sui stepped forward, "Don't worry, didn't I just bring you money?"

A Fu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Lin Sui placed a bank card on his desk, "The money you tipped yesterday, I'm returning it to you in full; now you have money to eat."

A Fu: "? I didn't mean for you to return the money."

It was one thing that she didn't want the money he gave her in private.

Now she didn't even want the money he tipped?

What does that mean?!

He was speechless for a moment, and after holding it in for a long time, he managed to squeeze out, "Then can I still work at the Company?"

Why did it feel like she was trying to draw a line between them?

Lin Sui said, "You can. If you want to keep working, just find me to sign a new contract when your current one expires."

A Fu frowned, "Then you returning my money..."

Lin Sui rubbed her hands together, "Ah... the amount is too large, I can't afford to accept it."

When someone gives you money, they always require something in return.

It's just like going to a supermarket; you pay the corresponding amount to buy items of the corresponding price.

Lin Sui wasn't confident enough that her Live Streaming content was worth such a large sum of money.

She knew it contained other feelings that prompted A Fu to tip this astronomical amount.

Since she couldn't return those feelings, she could only return the money to him.

Although it pained her a little, moving the money from her left hand to her right, multiplying it tenfold, and then returning it to him at the original price—

—still meant she had made a huge profit.

Lin Sui pressed down on his shoulder and said sincerely, "Thank you very much!"

If he hadn't been so generous, how would she have had this opportunity?

A Fu: "..."

She had already returned the money to him, so what was she thanking him for?

A Fu didn't understand, but seeing that Lin Sui seemed to treat him as nothing more than an ordinary friend made him sigh involuntarily.

He seemed to want to say something more, but Lin Sui had already turned to face Feng Liu's camera and started talking on her own.

"Okay friends, last night's matter was just like the one next door; it was all self-directed and performed by the Company. The big shot's move you all saw was also paid for by the Company itself; it didn't cost them a single cent. Shen Ti is an honest person, and A Fu is also an honest person, so please stop digging into them, okay?"

As she spoke, she left A Fu's office.

A Fu looked at the bank card on the desk, lying there quietly, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
