"What? You haven't paid the electricity bill yet? The power will be cut off in two days if you don't pay."

Xu Yanyu leaned against the kitchen wall, angrily throwing the crumpled milk carton into the trash can.

The text message she just received reminded her that she is now penniless.

She really couldn't understand why the original owner had transferred all her money to the agency, leaving not even enough for living expenses.

She had to start a live stream immediately.

She refused to believe it. She had earned so much money in her past life, and with that success, how could she possibly do worse in this one?

Xu Yanyu rummaged through the house for a while and finally found a slightly dusty laptop and the old cell phone that the original owner had discarded in a corner.

There's no professional equipment available right now, so computers and mobile phones will suffice for the time being.

After setting up the equipment, it's time to put on some makeup.

"That beautiful face, that stunning figure. Phrases like 'skin like cream' and 'face like a lotus' are insults when used to describe her."

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Xu Yanyu couldn't help but marvel at her appearance; she was always amazed by it, no matter how many times she saw it.

Now I finally understand why the agency kept persuading the original owner to go into the adult entertainment industry.

With that kind of appearance, if they really went into the sex industry, I wonder how much money they could make.

Before she could even marvel at the original owner's stunning beauty, Xu Yanyu quickly applied some makeup and sat down in front of the computer.

After finishing everything, it was just time for her scheduled live stream.

She logged into the original owner's account on the Douyin platform and then opened the live stream.

As soon as her live stream started, fans who followed the original owner's Douyin account flooded in.

"Oh my god, Yan Yu actually started a live stream."

Is this your first time live streaming?

Xu Yanyu nodded and went back to doing other things.

The original owner had fans on other platforms, so she wanted to post the live stream number on other social media accounts to attract more of those fans to this platform.

Jin Ge, Xu Yanyu's agent at Hongsen Entertainment, also saw her live stream immediately.

Jin Ge immediately ran out of the office and shouted to a man with triangular eyes, "Aqi, that brat Xu Yanyu has started a live stream. Tell those trolls to stop watching her Weibo account and go to her live stream."

Ah Qi was the one who called Xu Yanyu earlier today. He grinned and said, "That bitch, she dares to do a live stream! I'll contact someone right away!"

After Xu Yanyu finished editing the content, she posted the live stream announcement on various platforms.

Hello everyone, I'm currently live streaming on my Douyin account XXXXX. New and old friends are welcome to chat with me.

This short post was published on Weibo and dozens of comments were added to the comment section immediately.

Curious, she opened the comments section to take a look.

"Jade Bottle, you can't even get minor roles anymore, so you have to resort to live streaming?"

"Tsk, doing live streaming? What a waste of good looks."

Xu Yanyu quickly browsed the two messages and then closed the comment section.

She knew these people wouldn't say anything nice, so she simply shut them up and prevented them from commenting.

That lousy agency hired a lot of online trolls to ruin her reputation and force her to submit to the company.

The fact that the original owner had a lot of negative information about him and that his escape route was cut off was also an important reason for his suicide.

At the Xu family home, Xu's mother was watching TV on her phone when a notification popped up on her screen.

"Hey Lao Xu, your daughter sent a message saying she's going to do a live stream on the Douyin platform. Quickly turn on your computer and log in to that platform."

Old Xu, Xu Yanyu's father, Xu Xiangsheng, immediately brought out a notebook from the room when he heard his wife's call.

"Here it is. Connect it to the electronic projection screen with an HDMI cable. It will be clearer that way."

He busied himself setting things up, and just then, his daughter appeared on the big screen, smiling at everyone.

Xu's mother looked at the screen with a pained expression. "My daughter keeps saying she's too busy with work to make video calls to us. She does look much thinner on the screen."

“It’s normal for young people to be busy. Let’s not bother her. If we really miss her, we’ll call her after her live stream.” Xu Xiangsheng said as he sat down on the sofa in the living room and watched his daughter’s live stream with his wife.

After posting the message on multiple social media platforms, Xu Yanyu put down her phone and gave the camera a perfect smile.

Immediately, several beautiful compliments appeared on the screen.

Xu Yanyu smiled in response, inwardly admiring the beauty's allure.

In the short time she was editing the message, the number of viewers in the live stream had already increased to over five hundred.

Someone actually spent 500 yuan worth of virtual currency.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream suddenly surged, exceeding one thousand at once.

Xu Yanyu guessed that the traffic-driving effect must have worked.

The sparse barrage of comments started to become denser.

"Holy crap, it really is Xu Yanyu herself! I came from your Weibo account, you've really started live streaming."

"I love your looks! You haven't had any recent activities, it's been so long since I've seen any new content from you! What have you been up to lately?"

"Yan Yu, I haven't heard from you for several months. Didn't you say you were going to star in a fantasy drama?"

Xu Yanyu felt like cursing again after seeing the above content.

The fantasy drama is long gone, and the lousy agency has already cut off the original owner's resources in order to force her to comply.

Even those collaborations that came to them on their own initiative were all turned down.

She took a deep breath and forced a smile, saying, "Yes, I haven't had much work lately, so I thought I'd try my hand at live streaming. I also want to chat with you guys."

Someone reminded her: "Xu Yanyu, turn off the beauty filter. I want to take a screenshot and save your photo!"
