Chapter 983: The Agitated 37-Year-Old Lao Jieke

~7 min read 1,244 words

"Chet, we are the great Yingjiang."

"We are number one in the world."

"We are the beacon of civilization."

"You bunch of scum, all nonsense, this must be a show, and for a show, it has to be like this."

"How could there possibly be a country better than Yingjiang in this world?"

Lao Jieke angrily hammered the keyboard, spewing out the dirtiest words he thought of.

That's outrageous, how can they put on a show like this, how much money does it waste?

These are all taxpayers' money.

How can they waste so much.

Lao Jieke's perception of Qiongzhou grew worse.

Even now, Kickstep has already opened the Daxia forum.

Inside, countless Daxia streamers showcase Daxia every day.

But he stubbornly believes all this is Daxia putting on a show.

The purpose is to deceive him.

His irritable voice provoked his wife.

Weiwei'an, her belly bulging with dozens of pounds, stormed into his computer room, trembling flesh waves signifying her anger.

"What are you arguing about?"

"Have you been Earning Money?"

"Did you pay this month's insurance premium?"

"Have you saved enough land tax money?"

"The house's property insurance is also due soon."

"How could I have married a waste like you?"

"Jack, if you still can't Earning Money, don't blame me for divorcing you."

"I will leave you with nothing, I will make you chase traffic, and sleep on the street."

The irritable Weiwei'an almost wanted to beat him to death.

Just now, the once full-of-spirits Lao Jieke, like a mouse encountering a cat, instantly turned into a lapdog.

"Darling, trust me, I'm currently streaming to Earning Money."

"I will definitely earn money,"

"When the time comes, I'll give you a good life."

Weiwei'an is long past the age of eating imaginary pies.

He is not at all impressed by his routine.

"I've given you time, almost half a year now."

"Jack, what achievements have you made?"

"Just using those few thousand fans of yours to beg?"

"I think you've gone mad."

"You simply lack the talent to be a streamer."

"Give it up, let's find a job and work peacefully."

"Working alone to support a family is exhausting."

"Look at me, I can only eat that junk food every day, I'm almost turning into a ball."

"My coworkers laugh at me, saying I can't afford gym fees and can only gnaw bread every day, a pitiful person."

Her roar was full of grievance.

But after the roar, she felt she had lost composure.

She felt guilty for crushing her husband's enthusiasm, and remorse filled her heart.

She then turned and fled.

In his thirties, Lao Jieke felt humiliation and shame.

But he was convinced his choice was right; streaming is definitely an opportunity.

Seizing the current chance to get on board, he must grab it.

However, he truly hasn't achieved results.

After half a year of effort, he only has a few thousand followers.

Weiwei'an is right; he may lack that talent.

"If you want to change tracks, try again; if it doesn't work, obediently find a job and peacefully work to support the family."

Like he used to do before.

Even now, jobs are becoming harder to find.

"What should we do?"

How about singing and dancing? Or being quirky?

No, this choice is like buying a lottery ticket; whether it works depends entirely on luck.

He saw Qiongzhou news on the screen.

The news is currently trending heavily.

Or become an outdoor streamer? Investigate the truth behind hot news?

He feels this is reliable, just a bit costly.

However, as soon as this idea arose, he could hardly tolerate it.

Reason told him it was a bit risky, but his body told him this was his only chance.

Looking at the screen, Qiongzhou's heat reached several billions.

Jieke gritted his teeth and decided to do it.

But before that, I need to tell Weiweian.

However, this notice cannot be given in the usual way.

If he says: "Dear, I want to be an outdoor streamer and investigate the truth behind hot news."

Weiweian will definitely kick him away.

If he changes his approach, she will likely agree.

Lao Jieke tidied his clothes, then revealed an angry expression.

With a bang, he opened the door.

He rushed straight toward Weiweian.

Weiweian still felt a bit guilty, feeling she had just been a bit excessive.

But she really couldn't take it anymore; nobody could withstand such pressure.

Hearing the commotion, she lifted her head and saw Lao Jieke, who had been lingering in the live broadcast room for a long time, storming over angrily.

"Weiweian, I tell you, I know how to do it now; I want to be a streamer who investigates the truth of news."

"This time I will definitely succeed."

"I will definitely make you change your attitude toward me."

"I tell you, I'm going to get rich, Weiweian."

"I'm booking a ticket now; I'm going to Qiongzhou to expose their scam."

Weiweian was still shocked by Lao Jieke's sudden outburst, wondering if I had provoked him that much?

He couldn't have gone crazy, could he?

Otherwise, how could he be daydreaming?

Before she could react, Lao Jieke had already booked the ticket, then held it up in front of Weiweian and said arrogantly.

"Look, I've already booked the ticket."

"I'm going tomorrow; wait for me to become a big streamer."

"I will definitely become famous in one battle."

"I will definitely expose their scheme."

"Let the whole world know that Yingjiang is the lighthouse of the world."

Weiweian looked at the ticket price of thousands of dollars on his phone, then realized this damned thing was wasting money again.

"You're going to Qiongzhou just to film a video and do a live stream?"

"Is this how money is spent?"

"Don't you know? Our family hardly has any money left."

"And you're still being so extravagant."

"You damned thing, I'm going to fight you to the end."

Lao Jieke knew he had truly offended Weiweian this time.

So he ran while shouting.

"What does 'being extravagant' mean?"

"I'm going to make a fortune."

"What do you know? You know nothing."

"Just wait and enjoy."

"The people of Daxia once said something I really agree with."

"On the windfall, even pigs can fly."

"I am now the pig on the windfall."

The two of them scuffled for a while.

In the end, Weiweian still compromised.

She thought that if she didn't let Lao Jieke try one last time, he would never give up.

Spending a few thousand dollars to get him back to a stable job was worth it.

Weiweian's compromise made Lao Jieke extremely excited.

His method succeeded; speaking nicely would absolutely not work, being unreasonable and stubborn, going crazy—he became that.

Weiweian is a person who is cold on the outside but warm inside.

He had known that for a long time.

He opened the live broadcast room and shouted at his brothers.

"Brothers, I've switched careers; I want to do investigative streaming to uncover the truth behind hot news."

"Brothers, this year Daxia is mindlessly promoting itself as how good it is."

"Brothers, I don't believe it; they're definitely just putting on a show."

"Brothers, I've already booked tomorrow's flight."

"I'm going to expose them and mock them."

"Everyone, watch how I mock their lack of self-awareness on their own land."

"Let them lose face before everyone, let the whole world know how hypocritical they are."
