Chapter 2562

Evening.

After settling in the newly purchased household items, Liu Manqiong returned to the Zijin Villa with Sister Xian.

Upon learning that Liu Manqiong had been hired, the Qiu couple were both very happy and had their servants prepare an elaborate celebratory banquet at home to honor her.

To Qiu Yingshan's surprise, Lin Wan'er, who usually disliked lively gatherings, also joined in quite happily.

At the dinner table, Qiu Yingshan said to Liu Manqiong, "Manqiong, since you'll be working in Jin Ling from now on, if you have nothing else to do, just move into the Zijin Villa. I'll have Sister Xian arrange a large room for you!"

Liu Manqiong quickly said, "Grandpa Qiu, Sister Xian accompanied me to buy an apartment in Jin Ling this afternoon. The school will also provide me with a single apartment later on."

Qiu Yingshan said in surprise, "You've already bought a house? Buying a house outside isn't as safe as living here, and with Sister Xian and the others to look after you, it would be much more convenient for you to live here."

Old Mrs. Qiu, who was sitting nearby, also agreed, "That's right, Manqiong. Living here can save you a lot of trouble. Besides us, you probably don't have any relatives or friends in Jin Ling. It's really worrying for a young girl to live alone outside."

Liu Manqiong explained, "The residential complex where I bought the place has quite good security. Besides, public safety in the mainland is much better than in Hong Kong, and no one here knows my identity, so there shouldn't be any danger."

Qiu Yingshan knew her mind was made up, so he nodded and said, "If you are going to live in Jin Ling for a long time, please don't stand on ceremony with us if you need any help. If we aren't here, you can just look for Sister Xian; it's the same thing."

As he spoke, he added, "I will have more personnel transferred over from Malaysia in the next few days so that we can respond quickly if anything really happens."

Lin Wan'er currently had no personnel left. After her exposure in Northern Europe, she only had one loyal old servant remaining, who had not yet arrived in the country. The rest were people like Sun Zhidong and Qiu Yingshan.

To ensure Lin Wan'er's safety, Qiu Yingshan and Sun Zhidong had reached a consensus to secretly transfer troops to Jin Ling in the near future to guarantee her safety.

For Qiu Yingshan, since Liu Manqiong was his granddaughter-in-spirit, he would certainly have to pay more attention and take care of her in the future.

Although Liu Manqiong felt she wouldn't be in any danger, she was still very grateful and said to Qiu Yingshan, "Thank you, Grandpa Qiu!"

At this moment, Lin Wan'er, who was sitting nearby, asked curiously, "Sister Manqiong, where did you buy your house?"

Liu Manqiong said, "I bought it at Tang Chen Yi Pin in Jin Ling. It's not too far from the school; it's only a ten-minute drive."

Lin Wan'er was slightly stunned and muttered, "Tang Chen Yi Pin, huh..."

Ever since she discovered Ye Chen's other identity in Jin Ling, Lin Wan'er had known his address. She hadn't expected Liu Manqiong to buy a place in the same complex.

However, she didn't find it surprising when she thought about it; after all, Liu Manqiong had come specifically for Ye Chen, so it was normal for her to buy a place in the complex where he lived.

Liu Manqiong thought Lin Wan'er was curious about her new house, so she smiled and said, "If you're interested, Xiao Wan, I can take you to visit. Although the house isn't very big, it has a pretty good river view."

Lin Wan'er said with a smile, "Sister Manqiong, let me go with you after school starts. I've been a bit lazy and homebound lately; I don't want to go anywhere."

Lin Wan'er didn't dare to go to Tang Chen Yi Pin.

After all, it was simply too close to Ye Chen.

Although she had come to Jin Ling specifically for Ye Chen, she was most afraid of seeing him before school started.

Seeing Lin Wan'er politely decline, Liu Manqiong didn't think much of it and just smiled, saying, "If you ever don't want to come back here after school starts, I can keep a room for you."

"Sure." Lin Wan'er said with a smile, "Then it's a deal."

After dinner, Liu Manqiong bid farewell to the Qiu couple and Lin Wan'er, and was driven to Tang Chen Yi Pin by Sister Xian.

Arriving at the first house she had bought in Jin Ling, Liu Manqiong suddenly felt a sense of stability.

She opened the window of the viewing balcony, leaned against the window sill, and watched the night view along the Yangtze River and the ships moving slowly on the water. As the evening breeze from the river brushed against her face, her mood instantly felt much more open.

The view from the top floor was excellent, and since this apartment was an end unit on the top floor, it was basically free from noise interference from neighbors, making Liu Manqiong feel it was worth more than the price.

She even felt the urge to stay in Jin Ling for a few more days because of this.

However, upon second thought, she felt it would be better to leave Jin Ling as soon as possible after signing the contract with Jin Ling University. She was planning to tell Ye Chen that she had been hired by Jin Ling University only after she officially started work.

Meanwhile.

Right in the villa area of Tang Chen Yi Pin, Ma Lan finally survived the platform's 72-hour ban.

When she put on heavy makeup and picked up her phone to start livestreaming again, her livestream room encountered the same problem as three days ago: no one was watching.

This time, although there were some netizens who stumbled into the livestream room and made sarcastic remarks, Ma Lan had the experience of being banned last time, so she didn't dare to chase after them and curse them back no matter what.

But not being able to fight back meant that she had a frustration in her heart that she couldn't vent.

Ma Lan livestreamed for half an hour without gaining a single fan, and instead, she was filled with anger by these rude netizens.

Extremely depressed, Ma Lan temporarily closed her livestream room and began scrolling through other people's livestreams, wanting to learn from them how to livestream and what content to broadcast in order to have enough fans.

After looking around, Ma Lan discovered that the content in popular non-merchandise-selling livestream rooms was varied, but each room had its own characteristics: some were livestreaming games, some were livestreaming outdoor activities, some were livestreaming certain talents, and there were even those livestreaming lectures and teaching.

After looking back and forth, Ma Lan felt that she couldn't do any of these.

This was mainly because she didn't have any outstanding talents. As for music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, and dancing, she could only sing, and she didn't sing very well either, far from the level that would make people stop and listen.

After pondering over and over, Ma Lan still couldn't find any breakthrough point, which made her feel like giving up.

After scrolling through the livestream rooms on her phone, she couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, it seems I'm really not cut out for this..."

While depressed, she couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It doesn't matter if I can't make a living from this, the key is that I can't let Qian Qian Hongyan have such a good time! Watching her eat and drink to her heart's content, my heart feels worse than if I had lost a million!"

While feeling depressed, her finger slid and she entered another livestream room.

This livestream room had more than 30,000 viewers. The host was a mediocre-looking middle-aged man, and this man was saying passionately: "Family members, I, Yong Ge, have always been exposing fakes with my life. The family members in the livestream room should know this. The one I want to expose this time is that big internet celebrity beauty doctor online. After my secret investigation, she is actually not a beauty scholar at all. The name she is using now is not her real name, and her real education is actually a vocational school in a small city in the south, and she was expelled for fighting before she even graduated! Now, when the number of viewers in the livestream room reaches 50,000 and the number of likes reaches 3 million, I will release the evidence immediately!"

Someone in the comment section immediately posted a message: "I've long suspected that this beauty doctor was not right. Last time I asked her to solve a basic calculus problem in her livestream room, she actually blocked me directly! Support Yong Ge in exposing her!"

A large number of people in the comment section immediately posted various comments, basically questioning the beauty doctor mentioned by the male host.

In addition, there were a large number of bullet comments sending gifts, which looked dazzling and lively.

Seeing this, Ma Lan's eyes lit up instantly, and she thought to herself: "Can exposing fakes also gain fans in livestreams? Then I might as well expose Qian Qian Hongyan!"
