Chapter 372: There’s Always Someone Trying to Stop Me
"Little assistant, get the link up!"
"Little assistant, where’s my honey pear?"
"Little assistant, remember to reply to the babies’ questions promptly~"
...
Because she was trending due to a scandal, Chi Youyou unapologetically started ordering Song Shiyu around these past couple of days.
If it were before, she definitely wouldn’t have dared.
However, for some reason, the previous rumors about her climbing up the ranks with a sugar daddy slowly faded from the screen. Her live streaming room resumed its loving atmosphere from before. Except for a few haters now and then, with millions of fans pouring in, they couldn’t be heard.
Unless you splash a lot of money.
[I’m loving it, these past few days I’ve been crazily shipping the couple!]
[I just don’t know why my Boss S hasn’t appeared these days, your Youzi is going to get taken by the little assistant!]
[What should I do, I feel like Youzi with the little puppy is pretty nice too!]
[I love both the little puppy and the domineering CEO, why don’t you just keep both!]
[Hahaha, I really miss the temporary assistant from before, that assistant was very gentle, probably a sunny warm guy type!]
[Don’t you know this type only plays the second male lead in dramas? Be good, don’t ship randomly.]
...
Song Shiyu sat on the way to the company, browsing through the recorded playback of the live stream, and couldn’t help but smile.
These days, whenever he has free time, he checks their comments, feeling like the Emperor reviewing memorials.
Read.
Due to the live-stream variety show, the fan traffic in Chi Youyou’s live stream room increased again.
[Not a fan of Youzi, but really thankful she helped Su Shen, so decided to come and help out too!]
[This is amazing! I just received the pear today, it’s so big, juicy, and sweet!]
[I thought Youzi was just like those other streamers selling unreliable stuff, but it turns out there’s a Guan Gui co-branded medicinal diet!]
[666, I wonder if Su Shen secretly tasted the fruits from Youzi’s home, didn’t he show off on Weibo buying a bunch of fruits before!]
[Sister, now that you mention it, I just remembered! So that’s why Su Shen is especially attentive to Youzi?]
[Probably not, I remember Su Shen bought it from his alumni.]
[Imperial City University, huh! Then probably not.]
[Wait, isn’t Youzi from Imperial City University? Oh no, could it be!]
...
"Oh my god, these netizens have amazing detective skills!"
Chi Youyou saw Zhao Qingran’s screenshot and sincerely exclaimed, "Is this what they mean by more trouble comes with fame?"
"Darling, you need to get used to it."
"I should probably have a word with Amber."
Chi Youyou picked up her phone, just about to speak, when she saw Amber had sent the same screenshot.
What a synchronized understanding.
The final conclusion was to ignore everything and let the netizens talk among themselves, as it would keep the topic trending and dispel any talk of chasing traffic.
For example:
[If that’s true, I suspect Su Shen came to the variety show specially to eat fruits!]
[Hahahaha, I highly suspect it too!]
[How funny, Su Shen is definitely a foodie, always pretending to be serious, but those who know, know!]
"The fan filter is really strong!"
Chi Youyou understood the star effect was due to the great cohesion of fans, but she hadn’t expected it to be this strong.
Looking at her million-level live stream account, she suddenly felt the pressure!
Millions watching her, loving her streams and the agricultural products from her family.
So she must work even harder to ensure the quality of her products!
A little after 3 p.m., as usual, Chi Youyou finished the last class of the day and set out to pick up Chi Zaozao.
While crossing that secluded street, a black car stopped in front of her again.
What’s going on?
Why do people keep intercepting her!
She furrowed her brows in confusion. She hadn’t offended anyone recently, right?
She remembered last time it was the boss of some company called Beyond, trying to drag her into live streaming, bringing along two hefty fellows!
Nevertheless...
This car looked expensive; she thought she had seen it in Song Shiyu’s garage.
As she wondered, the car door opened, and out came a middle-aged man with a very stern look, wearing frameless glasses.
"Hello, Miss Chi. Apologies for stopping you; our young master wishes to meet you."
The man was polite, yet spoke very assertively, giving her no time to think, just as if he was merely informing her about it.
Chi Youyou fluttered her big eyes, looking soft and innocent.
"Who are you people? Why do you want to meet me?" She clutched her backpack strap, stepping back a few steps.
"Apologies, I forgot to introduce myself."
The man seemed to have just remembered, "I believe your mother should have already informed you; in the coming days, your mother’s family will pick you and the young master up."
Her mom’s family!
Suddenly she recalled receiving a message from her mother a few days ago, saying her grandpa was seriously ill, so she and her brother needed to visit him.
Originally her dad would pick them up, but due to a severe traffic accident on the way, the schedule was delayed, so her cousin who happened to be in the country was coming to get them.
She only found out a few days ago that her mom’s family was abroad!
No wonder her parents, who had never been abroad, suddenly went abroad on a trip.
Turns out the trip was a cover; visiting her never-before-seen sick grandpa was the real reason.
"How do I know if what you’re saying is true or false, what if this is a scam! Nowadays scammers have increasingly advanced tactics..."
Chi Youyou wasn’t very fond of this man, who appeared superior.
She didn’t feel the warmth and compassion of extended family from him, someone who didn’t know might think he was here to cause trouble!
Didn’t he mention his young master wanted to meet her?
Ha, so this man isn’t even her mom’s relative, probably just an assistant or housekeeper or something, with that attitude.
Seems like her mom’s family won’t be easy to deal with.
If it were Chi Youyou before college, she wouldn’t have had such thoughts at all, but after coming to Imperial City, she’s seen quite a lot of harsh realities and various people looking down on her.
The man’s eyes revealed contempt and disdain.
"Miss Chi, my young master has no reason to deceive you, and as a college student, you don’t have much worth deceiving for."
The middle-aged man’s tone carried a hint of condescension.
"That’s uncertain, a few days ago I ran into two scammers here, insisting on conning me into live streaming, even said I look pretty." It was the truth, not boasting.
The man seemed surprised by this revelation, looking slightly embarrassed.
This country cousin indeed has a good appearance, but does he look so much like a scammer?
Can a scammer drive a million-dollar car?
"Miss Chi, we..."
"Uncle Wan."
At this moment, a voice from the car interrupted the middle-aged man, and then the rear door of the car opened.
"Young master, why did you get out of the car!"
