Chapter 370: There Must Be a Sponsor
"Finally, it’s over!"
As soon as the camera turned off, Chi Youyou stretched, but she noticed that apart from her, the other two were still just as they were in front of the camera.
No wonder they’re celebrities.
"How are you getting back? Want to take my car?"
Su Jinxiao saw Fei Jian waving at him and asked Chi Youyou beside him.
As soon as he said this, quite a few people around looked over. What was going on?
Could it be that Su Shen was interested in this little streamer?
This was too considerate of her.
Cheng Shujin was also a bit surprised but didn’t seem as shocked as the staff and quickly regained his composure.
"I have another engagement shortly, otherwise you could take my car."
He smiled faintly and said something similar to Su Jinxiao.
He wasn’t exactly helping Su Jinxiao; it was more about creating a harmonious atmosphere within their team.
A lot of the news online often gets leaked or overheard after the show by people with an agenda.
"No need, you guys are busy people; I’m just a small streamer. I can just catch a cab."
As soon as she finished speaking, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Amber: I was going to pick you up, but I saw Mr. Song’s car on set.
Song Shiyu came?
"Someone’s coming to pick me up later, you guys go ahead."
She shook her phone in front of them.
"Alright, I’ll take my leave, see you next week."
Cheng Shujin politely took his leave and disappeared.
Having just returned to the country, he was still a bit jet-lagged, and he had a cover shoot to wrap up that night.
Tomorrow he’d find time to meet his country bumpkin cousin whom he’d never seen before.
She looked pretty in the photos and was a freshman at Imperial City University, but having lived in the countryside for eighteen years, what prospects could she have?
He heard she was studying agriculture at university.
Thinking of this, he laughed derisively, feeling somewhat unconvinced that his grandpa wanted her to inherit part of the family estate.
"Brother Jin, today’s live broadcast had a great response. Except for that Youzi dragging the team back a bit, but in the end, she earned the group’s first pot of gold, and the online sentiment improved."
His assistant summarized the events of today’s live stream.
"Hmm."
Cheng Shujin responded weakly. Youzi did better than he expected. Thinking of this, he picked up his phone and searched for information about Youzi.
This impressive?
The internet has a memory.
Since Youzi started streaming, she’s topped quite a few Weibo hot searches and caused many waves in the streaming circle.
Tigers, leopards, bears?
And ginseng, lingzhi...
Even institutions like the International Agricultural Research Institute, Imperial City University, Agricultural Research Institute, and Guan Gui all supported her?
Is she really just an ordinary little internet celebrity streamer?
Before joining the show, he usually investigated everyone’s information, but he hadn’t looked closely into Youzi, only glanced at the personal details his assistant had prepared.
She seemed to be a student still.
Tsk, even as students of agricultural studies, his little country cousin couldn’t compare to her.
He tossed his phone aside, realizing that Su Jinxiao was kind to her not only because she was competent but because her background was incredibly strong!
"Brother Jin, this Youzi seems a bit restless."
"Hmm?"
He was preparing to rest his eyes when he heard his assistant suddenly say.
"Someone just snapped a photo of her getting into a luxury car!"
Luxury car?
Cheng Shujin raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t this quite normal?"
He had a new understanding of Youzi; a simple streamer couldn’t have stirred such power.
Her background was definitely not simple!
[I knew she had to have backing!]
[She really does have a wealthy patron!]
[Wow, she’s so brazen, doesn’t even hide it!]
...
Someone had taken a photo, capturing Chi Youyou getting into a black Maybach.
"No way, is Youzi really that kind of person?"
Su Jinxiao also saw it, and Fei Jian frowned in disdain, "Good thing no one is shipping you two as a couple! But still, you should keep some distance from her!"
"Why?"
Su Jinxiao frowned, "You believe what’s online?"
"It’s not about believing or not believing. While a single photo doesn’t prove anything, maybe she’s secretly a rich second-gen, but the crucial point is what the netizens want her to be!"
"Ha."
"Honestly, for a streamer like Youzi to suddenly become famous overnight, it’s impossible without someone purposely promoting her!"
Fei Jian voiced his analysis but failed to notice the darkening face of his artist.
"Just take my advice, it’s fine to care for juniors as a senior, but don’t be overly enthusiastic like today."
Su Jinxiao ignored him, looking at the comments on his phone, his frown deepening.
"These netizens really have too much time on their hands!"
"Didn’t you hear what I said?"
Fei Jian sighed seeing Su Jinxiao stand up for Youzi. He knew Jinxiao’s stubborn nature; once he’d made up his mind about someone, nothing could change it.
"Honestly, I’m saying this for both your and Youzi’s sake. If nothing is going on, if you get too close, netizens will say she’s trying to ride your coattails. You saw what I showed you earlier; she inexplicably called you Su the classmate, and the comment section blew up!"
"If she wanted to latch onto my fame, she’d have been famous already!"
Su Jinxiao’s fingers flew over the screen, scoffing.
After a moment, seeing that Fei Jian hadn’t said anything, he looked up to see the puzzled look on his face, "Don’t worry, there will never be any rumors between us; if there are, you won’t see me the next day."
"What do you mean?"
Fei Jian rubbed his temples, realizing he wasn’t joking.
"In short, I know her true identity, and here’s a hint: she doesn’t have a messy private life, she’s an exceptional person with a legitimate fiancé, someone neither you nor I can afford to offend."
Fei Jian: !!!
Even the Su Family can’t afford to offend?
He swallowed secretly, thinking of the four major families in Imperial City: Song, Gu, Su, and Cheng. Could her background be one of the other three families?
No way!
A thought crossed his mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
No!
He doesn’t know!
(The more you know, the more in danger you are, so it’s better to act ignorant of things like this.)
"Feifei, this Youzi really is heading down the path of self-destruction!"
Song Xingruo saw the news, feeling joyous, especially seeing all the harsh comments, which made her happier.
But as she laughed, her brow furrowed, "Wait, why does this car look so familiar?"
She looked over at Fang Yifei, who also appeared confused, and they exchanged glances.
It’s Song Shiyu’s car!
