Chapter 54: Guest in the Clouds

"Um..."

Lin Sui's voice suddenly rang out in the Live Streaming Room. She reminded them a bit embarrassedly: "Xiangcai Jie, your mic is still on."

Xiangcai Jie: "..."

The public chat area was already going crazy at this moment.

Suddenly, even more people were applying to join the live stream.

Before, they were still worried about whether Xiangcai Jie might be some kind of scammer; after all, holding "auditions" in a Live Streaming Room just didn't seem reliable at first glance.

Lin Sui had also mentioned more than once that one should be cautious when signing with a Company, so they still had some concerns.

Now that they heard this, it seemed Xiangcai Jie really was a boss at some big Company?

Lin Sui was doing well for herself, truly catching the eye of a big boss.

And now, some financial group had suddenly popped up; it sounded very wealthy just hearing the name.

Yun Zhongke, who hadn't spoken the whole time: "..."

He didn't want to expose his identity at all, but he ended up running into a group of pig-teammates!

"Ahem..."

Xiangcai Jie cleared her throat. "Since you heard it, do you have any thoughts?"

Lin Sui thought for a moment. "I want to help Xiangcai Jie finish selecting the people she likes as soon as possible, and then end the stream and go to sleep. Does that count?"

Xiangcai Jie: "..."

She turned her head and glared at the person who had just said they wanted to sign Lin Sui.

She had said Lin Sui didn't want to sign with a Company, and now look, she had been rejected by her again!

That person wouldn't give up and asked directly: "Our Company can help you pay off your debts. What do you think?"

With looks, talent, and such a knack for creating content, what a great candidate for a girl group!

Lin Sui cupped her hands in a salute. "I appreciate the kindness of you sisters and brothers, but I have too much negative press right now. I'm afraid I'll debut in the morning and be exposed and blacklisted by the afternoon, which would cause significant negative impact to the Company."

"Sorry, Xiangcai Jie has been so good to me; I can't do anything that would damage the reputation of Xiangcai Jie's Company!"

Everyone in the office: "..."

Her refusal was phrased in a way that made it hard for anyone to find fault.

If one had to say, her so-called negative press was just asking for money during live streams, and that bit a few days ago offline where she said she could replace Yueshan, which was not very polite to her "senior"—one could even call it arrogant.

The Company could help resolve that.

If an entertainment Company couldn't even handle such a small matter, they might as well quit!

But she used this as an excuse to refuse, attributing the reason to herself, without embarrassing the Company.

"Alright, no need to mention this again. Let's continue." Xiangcai Jie didn't make things difficult for Lin Sui and continued to pick people.

This time, she remembered to turn off the mic.

She turned back to the other artists and said, "The Company plans to hold an audition program recently. If you have suitable people to recommend, you can report them."

This wasn't a big deal; the Company held audition programs every year.

It was no different from Lin Sui asking for money in her live stream; in any case, it was all about fans spending real money to vote.

Tonight wasn't Lin Sui's main event, and Lin Sui didn't try to stand out. After it ended, Xiangcai Jie tactfully tipped 20 Carnivals and then left.

Lin Sui loved such straightforward people!

If Xiangcai Jie had a need, she could keep doing this!

It was a rare day where she didn't have to maintain the live stream and still had a Foundation tip.

Awesome!

After ending the stream, Lin Sui dealt with some private messages inviting her.

She suddenly thought of what Siyuetian said; things were indeed a bit off tonight.

Fu didn't come tonight because he was carsick.

Lin Dan Da hadn't come for two days.

If he went to watch other female streamers, Lin Sui couldn't control that.

But if his mood was affected by the hot search list from the past two days, Lin Sui had to at least go and ask after him.

He was, after all, one of her top-tier big brothers.

Lin Sui saw that Lin Dan Da's account hadn't been online for two days, so she could only ask Ye Ao Nai Wo He for Lin Dan Da's private contact information.

The other party accepted the friend request quite quickly.

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Brother Dan, how have you been lately?"

Lin Dan Da: "Good my foot, I'm busy as hell."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Did the negative public opinion affect the Company?"

Lin Dan Da: "Oh, that didn't."

Lin Dan Da: "Because the public opinion from before was seen by my family. They said I was truly starving for attention, didn't allow me to look for female streamers, and then arranged a bunch of blind dates for me! Don't even get me started, I have another movie to watch later. It's the same movie, I've already watched it three times today, so tired."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "... Oh, as long as it's not a bad impact."

Lin Dan Da: "What bad impact could there be? Everything I said was the absolute truth! Even if they don't like hearing it, it's still the truth!"

Lin Dan Da: "After I finish dealing with these blind dates, I'll go back to watch you, and I'll show up by dropping ten Carnivals. Don't worry, your brother isn't going anywhere."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Brother, what are you saying? I'm just purely here to care about your mental health~^_^"

Lin Dan Da: "I thank you."

He would have believed her if not for that emoji at the end.

Learning that Lin Dan Da wasn't discouraged, Lin Sui felt much more at ease.

Exiting the chat with Lin Dan Da, Lin Sui received another friend request; it was actually Yueshan.

After accepting the friend request, the other party immediately sent a message.

Yueshan: "Can you ask Fuxi's younger brother which country Fuxi is in? And what is the address?"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "???"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Girl, you still haven't given up? Didn't you say in the Live Streaming Room that day..."

Yueshan: "That 'meat pigeon' that day was my Top Fan Brother; if I said I liked Fuxi, it would be over."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "So you knew!"

Acting like a love-struck fool for an entire night, only to suddenly wake up in the last few minutes—was it because she heard the great name of the 'meat pigeon' and remembered she was a female Live Streamer who needed to maintain her relationship with her Top Fan Brother?

Why didn't she do that earlier!

Yueshan: "I thought about it for two days, and there's really no other way. I've decided to go find him myself and ask him clearly."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "..."

Yueshan: "You know how it is, a young girl's first love—she won't turn back until she hits a brick wall; it's not that easy to give up. From the first moment I saw him, I decided it was him."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "... What you saw was A Fu."

Don't forget that Fuxi used A Fu's photo!

Yueshan: "..."

Yueshan: "I'm talking about meeting on a soul level, do you understand? Whose photo it is doesn't matter!"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "I don't understand."

Yueshan: "It's not your fault for not understanding, but please help me get one. I definitely won't say it was you who gave it to me, I'm begging you."

Yueshan: 【Transferred money to you.】

Yueshan: "Voluntary gift."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "You say... tsk... you... sigh... you say this is called what... oh my... I can't even... oh my... I say, really..."

【Payment received.】

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "The address is here."

Lin Sui sent over a screenshot of the address.

Freshly obtained from A Fu just now.

Yueshan: "Thank you."

She's even thanking us.

Lin Sui wouldn't find anything that happens between those two strange later on.

Because they are two very strange people to begin with.

There were an unusual number of contacts tonight.

Lin Sui returned to the Yinfu Platform to withdraw today's money and received a message from today's Top Fan Brother, Yun Zhongke.

Yun Zhongke: "Can we meet up?"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Brother, we don't currently offer that service."

Having just heard from people on Xiangcai Jie's side that this person seems to be from some financial group, he is so famous that he shouldn't do anything that would damage his image.

Yun Zhongke: "Then can I add your private contact information?"

That is acceptable; he is a Top Fan Brother, after all.

Lin Sui gave him her WeChat.

A moment later, the other party sent her a pile of documents and photos.

She had thought it would be some cliché like "The photo is me, are you not satisfied?"

But looking closely, it didn't seem to be that way.

The people in the photos were completely different, and there were also some panoramic photos of a Company.

Looking at the various positions, it was a sea of handsome men and beautiful women; one might mistake it for some entertainment company.

Looking closer, they seemed to be just ordinary employees.

Even the cleaning lady looked like she still had her charm.

What is going on?

Soon, Yun Zhongke sent Lin Sui a voice message.

Lin Sui clicked it, and a male voice with a heavy accent came through.

Yun Zhongke: "Well, little girl, first take a look at the scale of our Company, isn't it huge? Our Company, you see, focuses on being youthful and beautiful, you know. I think you really fit our Company's requirements, see if you're willing to come over."

This thick southwestern accent made up for the regret of the southwest region lacking a domineering CEO.

It took Lin Sui a moment to react and understand what he meant.

Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Yun Zhongke sent another voice message.

Yun Zhongke: "Little girl, I was speaking Mandarin, you should be able to understand, right?"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "... I understand, I understand. Brother, how about you type instead?"

Yun Zhongke (Voice): "You should call me Uncle; my kid is almost about to start college."

Yun Zhongke (Voice): "Forget about typing, Uncle is getting old and isn't very good at it."

The main difficulty was not knowing how to translate the dialect into Mandarin.

Yun Zhongke (Voice): "Well then, I'll call my son over to talk to you, he can type. You little brat, get over here! All you know is running out after school, hurry up and come recruit people for your old man! What's with that expression? You not convinced? Wait until your mom gets back, I'll give you a couple of whacks!"

60 seconds is the limit for a voice message, not the limit for this old man's cursing.

"..." Lin Sui thought through all the saddest things that had happened to her recently, but she still couldn't help but laugh.

She wondered whether she should try to persuade him.

The other side finally sent over a simple and easy-to-understand text version.

Yun Zhongke: "Sister, our Company was just established. My dad wants to build a pure-looks Company and needs talent like you. You should know that I was forced to say these things."

Yun Zhongke: "He has poached quite a few pretty and handsome Live Streamers to work as ordinary drudges; I advise you not to come."

Yun Zhongke: "/Run fast!. jpg"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "……?"

Yun Zhongke (Voice Message): "Oh, don't listen to this old guy's nonsense, it's not to work as ordinary drudges... (Turns head to scold son) Get out! You little brat, get out for your father! Selling twist rolls immediately, I see you pressing your fists again and again all day. Wait until your mother comes back to deal with you! You run! If you can run away, I'll eat my hat!"

"……"

Lin Sui suddenly felt the awkwardness of going to a classmate's house to play when she was Xiao Shi, only for the classmate's parent to suddenly start scolding or hitting the child.

But this wasn't a classmate's house; it was just a chat box.

Lin Sui thought for a moment, then took the initiative to reject him.

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Uncle, I don't think I'm a good fit. Rather than working a job for a fixed salary, I prefer to earn more money through Live Streaming."

Yun Zhongke (Voice Message): "Don't say it like that. You can also do Live Streaming at the Company. I have many companies under my name; if you're willing, you can also sell goods."

Lin Sui still wanted to refuse, but the System suddenly spoke up: 【Tell him you can't join his Company, but you can cooperate with him.】

The industries a conglomerate is involved in are too numerous; a shallow cooperation is possible.

Lin Sui didn't reply to Yun Zhongke for the moment and discussed it with the System, "How to cooperate?"

System: 【The things we are preparing to sell are 'three-no' products here. Although they are all good things, 'three-no' products are still prone to trouble. You can ask him for the right to use the Company's name and give him a twenty percent cut.】

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "Such a big conglomerate, and they're short on this twenty percent cut?"

【If he doesn't want it, there are plenty of small companies that would. Anyway, we just need the right to use a name to prove they aren't 'three-no' products; what kind of company it is doesn't actually matter.】

Isn't this delivering it to her doorstep? Asking won't cost her anything.

Lin Sui nodded, "You're right."

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Uncle, I won't be going to your Company, but I would like to discuss a cooperation with you."

Yun Zhongke: "……"

There was actually nothing left to talk about. The people waiting to discuss cooperation with him lined up all the way to France; he really looked down on a cooperation with a small Live Streamer like Lin Sui.

But he felt uncomfortable all over because he couldn't poach Lin Sui.

He, a CEO!

He had personally taken action and still couldn't poach her!

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "I'm planning to sell some things later on, but as you know, if a product doesn't have much fame, it won't sell for a good price. Could I have the right to use your Company's name? I will give you a ten percent cut then."

System: 【You're even more ruthless than me; aren't you afraid he'll block you?】

Lin Sui: "If he doesn't want it, there are plenty of companies that would!"

System: 【……】 Such a familiar conversation.

Yun Zhongke (Voice Message): "You aren't coming to my Company, so why would I give you this opportunity to steal my own business?"

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "I don't have much stock, just a small operation; once it's sold, it's gone, so it's not really stealing business. If Uncle has any needs, I can also help you sell the Company's goods, with the price set as a normal Live Streamer's rate, just to make a friend. ^_^"

Yun Zhongke: "……"

Who on earth wants to make this friend!

But he was indeed planning to do e-commerce later for his pure-looks Company.

Lin Sui had a bit of popularity now, so he could let her test the waters first.

Yun Zhongke: "How about this: if you have time in the next few days, bring the products you want to put your name on to my Company to have them inspected, and we can discuss the rest in person."

Discussing such matters required more seriousness; one couldn't just chat casually on WeChat.

Also, the products Lin Sui wanted to put her name on had to be inspected carefully; if they were something bad, it would ruin their Company's reputation!

Wang Luo Qi Gai Lin Sui: "Okay, thank you, Uncle."

The matter was considered settled for now; whether it would succeed later remained to be seen.

As expected, one must do more Live Streaming; otherwise, one would never meet these people in this lifetime.

In the internet age, this is all the entertainment the wealthy have.
