Chapter 84: Three Men, One Show

~15 min read 2,827 words

The matter was settled just like that.

Everyone had met offline, but these few people were only loud-mouthed online; in reality, they were all socially anxious.

Lin Sui didn't think they could stir up any trouble.

Only Lin Dan Da could say a few words when encountering this kind of situation in reality.

…

【Reward issued, company registration successful!】

Lin Sui had just finished chatting in the group when she heard the system's message.

Shen Ti had been a huge help tonight; with over three million thrown in, after deducting half taken by the platform, plus the Ten-fold Withdrawal and what Lin Sui had saved previously, she had just met the system's requirements.

System: 【《This Is A Live Streaming Company》

Legal Representative: Lin Sui

Shareholder: Lin Sui

Director: Lin Sui

Supervisor: Lin Sui

Manager: Lin Sui

Financial Personnel: Lin Sui】

【Please recruit Live Streamers as soon as possible, make the Company big and strong, and create glory!】

Lin Sui: "……Is it this sloppy?"

System: 【Where is it sloppy? Didn't you save money for a long time?】

"Fine." Lin Sui accepted its explanation, "I thought you were setting up a factory for me to produce goods to sell."

【Those goods are not something that tiny Earth humans can handle, but you can hang them under your own Company name in the future.】

"Then do I still need to do Live Streaming in the future?" Lin Sui asked.

【Yes! If you don't make money, what will you use to maintain the Company's operations?】

Lin Sui: "……"

She was already a big boss preparing to sign other Live Streamers; what kind of status was this, did she still need to stream herself?

However, thinking that these new Live Streamers didn't have the Ten-fold Withdrawal, the little money received in the early stages really couldn't be of much use.

【New task, sign ten Live Streamers. Otherwise, if it's just you in the Company, it's too pathetic.】

Lin Sui: "……"

These tasks were truly one more difficult than the last.

A while ago she was still saying that signing with a company should be done with caution, and now she was engaged in this kind of business herself.

Slapping her own face!

ˉ

The next day, approaching noon, when Lin Sui looked at the two people wearing masks at the door and one sticking out a big belly, the three of them standing brazenly at her door, gathering all heights and weights, she suddenly felt it was a bit hard to look at.

Lin Dan Da pressed the doorbell while shouting, "Lin Sui, are you home? Your brothers have come to see you~"

"Lin Sui~~~"

"Sui Sui!!"

"Sui'er! My Sui'er!"

Even after Lin Sui came out, he was still shouting, but his eyes were fixed on the Villa next door, as if he were shouting for the person opposite to hear.

"Stop shouting, it sounds a bit like you're calling for a soul." Lin Sui hurried out to open the door.

Lin Dan Da whispered: "If we don't call the one next door out, how are we supposed to beat him up?"

"Ah? You came to hit someone?"

A Fu pulled at his mask and moved a few steps to the side, distancing himself from the others, "Not me."

Feng Liu also moved to the side, "Not me either."

Lin Dan Da looked at the two traitors, his anger rising, "Traitors! Didn't we agree on the way here?"

Feng Liu: "Only you were self-entertaining in the group."

On the way here, Lin Dan Da had sent a bunch of messages in the group about how to deal with Shen Ti, and no one had replied to him.

"Forget it, forget it, it's not easy for anyone." Lin Sui didn't expect that one day she would say these words from her own mouth.

Mainly because the person was sick; if they beat him into something serious, she wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if she went bankrupt.

She cleared a path for them, letting them enter the house first to talk.

Seeing that these two wouldn't help him, Lin Dan Da couldn't go find trouble alone.

He could only rub his nose and be the first to enter the Villa.

"Holy crap!"

Just as he walked in, his peripheral vision caught a man standing at the second-floor window of the Villa next door.

He didn't open the window, just stood there quietly, not knowing how long he had been staring at him.

It was like a lingering ghost.

Everyone heard his reaction and looked in the direction of his gaze, also seeing Shen Ti.

This time Shen Ti opened the window, looking completely normal, and greeted them generously, "Sui Sui, do you have guests? Can I come over to play?"

A Fu, wearing a mask, whispered to her: "Let him come over."

Originally, the three of them came here just to meet this Shen Ti and give him a warning.

Even if A Fu hadn't said it, she had intended to call him over.

"Sure, you... does your mother agree?" Lin Sui asked.

Shen Ti might not have heard the second half of the sentence; just hearing Lin Sui say the two words "you can" was enough for him to turn and head downstairs without a moment's delay.

"Is he already dead? Are we actually seeing a ghost?" Lin Dan Da muttered in a low voice.

This guy is way too creepy.

"Oi!" Lin Sui slapped his big belly and said expressionlessly, "How am I supposed to live here with you like this?"

Lin Dan Da's belly was very bouncy; it went *duang-duang* with a single slap.

Feng Liu couldn't help but give it a poke too.

Lin Dan Da immediately swatted his hand away, "Stinky men, stop touching me!"

A Fu, standing to the side, also gave it a quick poke, then pulled his hand back and pretended nothing had happened.

Lin Dan Da was so angry he stomped his feet and shrieked, "Stinky men, stop touching me! I'm going to report you for harassment!"

Everyone: "..."

"You're even more 'underworld' than that guy next door," Feng Liu said.

Lin Dan Da tugged at his clothes to cover his belly and gave a light huff, "Hmph, once I finish studying the psychology of these 'besties,' the massive wealth will be my turn!"

Recently, for the Company's women's clothing line, Lin Dan Da had dealt with women quite a bit; at the very least, he was someone who had worn women's clothes before.

How could he let these people touch his body so casually?

Of course, beautiful women were the exception.

He wanted to say something more, but Shen Ti had already opened the main door and come out.

Lin Dan Da was so scared he shut his mouth.

Because when Shen Ti came out, he was carrying a black plastic bag in his right hand and a kitchen knife in his left.

"Close the door, quick!"

Lin Dan Da lunged at the door, slammed it shut, and locked it.

"Didn't you just want to beat him up a second ago?" Lin Sui twitched the corner of her mouth.

Lin Dan Da braced himself against the door, looking nervous, "I just wanted to beat someone up, but what does it mean when the person across the hall comes out holding a knife?"

Feng Liu and A Fu also quickly moved to block Lin Sui behind them; the three of them stood inside the door like a wall.

Three men, one drama.

Lin Sui couldn't feel a shred of safety.

Two shut-ins plus one office worker—Lin Sui felt she could take all three of them with one punch.

When Shen Ti came over, he looked at the three of them—tall, short, and fat—and seemed a bit confused, "Are you not welcoming me?"

"Why are you holding a knife!"

Lin Dan Da backed away, not daring to get near the door anymore.

The door was the kind made of bars; hands could reach through, and he was afraid of being slashed if he got too close.

Shen Ti didn't answer his question, instead asking, "Where is Sui Sui?"

"You..."

The others wanted to say something, but Lin Sui grabbed one in each hand, dragging the two thin ones behind her first, then used both hands to drag the fat one behind her.

"I'm right here."

She didn't open the door, first taking a look at the bag in Shen Ti's hand, "What's in the bag this time?"

Shen Ti smiled at her, "Vegetables and meat. You don't know how to cook, right? I do. Since you have friends over, I can help you host them."

"We don't need you," A Fu suddenly spoke up, "We can afford to eat at a restaurant."

Shen Ti glanced at him and lowered his eyes, "He doesn't welcome me."

"None of us welcome you!"

Lin Dan Da pointed both fingers at him and said in an annoying tone, "Guess who wasn't invited to the gathering this time? It's you~~~"

Such classic American-style bullying.

Lin Sui opened the door.

Lin Dan Da immediately pulled his hands back, hid behind Feng Liu, and poked Lin Sui in front of him, whispering fiercely, "Why did you open the door!"

Scared the life out of Dan Dan.

"And what's with the knife?" Lin Sui asked him.

Shen Ti looked a bit shy, "You don't know how to cook, so you probably don't have a kitchen knife at home either. I brought one over."

"You really are thoughtful. Give it to me," Lin Sui reached out her hand toward him.

He didn't say anything else and obediently handed everything in his hands to Lin Sui.

The other three: "..."

Last night, following Ke Ai Gui's tips, Lin Sui had stayed up late to study the guide on how to handle a yandere.

This type of person just needs to be coaxed; as long as you don't provoke him, he won't do anything excessive.

Not opening the door for him would be what provokes him.

The group hurriedly followed her into the house.

Shen Ti and A Fu both followed Lin Sui into the kitchen.

Lin Dan Da and Feng Liu exchanged a look and squeezed in after them.

"What are you all doing?" Lin Sui was a bit speechless.

"Cooking," A Fu and Shen Ti said in unison.

Feng Liu and Lin Dan Da: "..."

What!

A Fu has this kind of skill?

That's fine, I can compete with this little Shen Ti.

Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't know how to win.

The two of them spoke in unison again, "We're here to cheer for A Fu!"

"A Fu?" Shen Ti heard this name, tilted his head, and looked at A Fu.

He asked with a smile, "You are A Fu? Nice to meet you, nice to meet you. Why are you wearing a mask? Are you too ugly to be seen?"

A Fu: "I just don't want to see you."

Shen Ti was stunned for a moment, "Why? Did I do something wrong?"

A Fu: "..."

There is a type of person who is just like this; even after doing many things, they look at you with a simple, innocent expression afterward, giving people the feeling that they are harmless.

"True big shots never show their faces; you aren't qualified to see our faces, understand?" Feng Liu pulled the mask on his face up a bit.

Lin Dan Da: "..."

Watching Feng Liu act cool was more painful than killing him.

But he also felt that what Feng Liu said made some sense.

He hurriedly covered his face with his chubby little hands.

A miscalculation; if he had known, he would have worn a mask too.

"Oh~" Shen Ti seemed to understand, "Sui Sui is truly amazing, having so many big shot friends, how great! I really didn't misjudge you."

Feng Liu: "..."

This kid is truly impervious to reason.

"I never doubt my own greatness," Lin Sui accepted his praise.

"How about this, since both of you want to cook, then you two go ahead, I'm going out."

She put her things away and squeezed out from between them.

She grabbed Lin Dan Da and Feng Liu on the way out.

Only A Fu and Shen Ti remained in the kitchen.

The two looked at each other, neither spoke again, and they quietly began to prepare the food Shen Ti had brought.

…

In the living room, Lin Sui, Lin Dan Da, and Feng Liu sat around the coffee table, forming a stable triangle.

"I'm a bit afraid to eat the food those two make, I'm afraid of being poisoned to death," Feng Liu spoke first.

Lin Dan Da delivered a follow-up blow: "Can it be more poisonous than your own mouth? Your combat power is lacking today."

Feng Liu: "... This isn't offline, I'm afraid of getting beaten up, right? Wait until the Live Streaming Room tonight, I'll scold him to death!"

Who in real life would dare to speak the way he usually does online? They'd be beaten to a pulp in minutes.

He still had some self-awareness.

"I thought about Lin Sui saying he has mental problems and is sick, so I didn't dare to make a move," Lin Dan Da also tried to save face.

"Sigh!"

The two sighed in unison again, looking extremely frustrated.

Lin Sui: "..."

"Better at acting than me," she said with a face full of disgust.

If you're scared, just be scared; why make it sound so high-sounding.

Before they could retort, Lin Sui continued: "Actually, I've already thought of a way, you two help me with a favor in a moment."

"What way?" Lin Dan Da said: "Don't worry, in a moment we will definitely praise A Fu's cooking as delicious, and we won't give this little Shen Ti any good looks!"

Lin Sui looked serious, "No! In a moment, you will praise his cooking as delicious; even if it isn't, you must force yourselves to say it's delicious!"

"After my research and study all night, this type of person is sensitive and fragile inside, lacks a sense of security, craves care and love; if someone is cold or ignores him, he will fall into self-doubt and develop some extreme thoughts."

"Simply put, he's lacking love."

"So in a moment, you must praise him, praise him to the skies!"

Feng Liu: "... Isn't that being a bit too nice to him?"

If she had known he was sick and she could be this nice to someone against her conscience, then he could be sick too.

Lin Sui said meaningfully, "Behind every stranger being unconditionally nice to you, there is something fatal."

Lin Dan Da was shocked: "You plan to use a gentle knife, and every cut is fatal?"

*Dudududududu—*

Why talk about knives for no reason.

The sound of chaotic chopping came from the kitchen, as if someone was hacking at meat; it sounded particularly creepy.

Feng Liu stood up and glanced into the kitchen, "A Fu won't be hacked to death by him, right?"

Seeing A Fu's unharmed back, he felt relieved.

Lin Sui explained: "I plan to use a provocation tactic."

Lin Dan Da: "Isn't this type of person unable to handle being provoked?"

"This provocation tactic is of course different from that provocation tactic," Lin Sui said: "I feel this type of person might just be too idle."

She used A Fu as an example, "Look, A Fu doesn't have a job either, but he watches Live Streaming every day, and by tipping some money, he can get a Live Streamer's brief love; this is his fun. If he weren't idle, he wouldn't let his imagination run wild."

"This person only secretly noticed me after I moved here, and then started playing Live Streaming to tip me. I made him feel fun, so he hasn't been idle these past few days. But I am the first source of fun he's come into contact with, which is why he's been haunting me."

Feng Liu: "And the point of saying all this is?"

Lin Sui narrowed her eyes, "I plan to find him a job."

The two: "..."

"Aren't you afraid he'll hack the people in the Company to pieces?"

Lin Sui crooked her mouth into a smile, "I already anticipated you would say that! So for this job, he must be able to do it from home."

"Don't you all think he has the innate constitution of a Live Streamer?"

Thinking of the system's task, Lin Sui had become lawless and unrestrained.

"Once he becomes popular, he will possess the endless attention and love of his fans."

"And he, who doesn't want to be ignored himself, must understand the feeling of being ignored, so he will definitely pander to his fans until his hands go soft!"

Lin Dan Da: "..."

Feng Liu: "..."You really are a genius, damn it."
