Chapter 304 A Passerby in the World of Professional Challenges 24

We had our New Year's Eve dinner at Jiang Yue's house. There were more than a dozen people, including children. Because of the gene-enhancing drugs, the oldest grandparents looked to be only in their fifties or sixties. When the factory was expanding this year, Jiang's father gave some of the projects to his own family, so everyone made some money this year. You know, when you have money, a lot of worries disappear.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner was the most lavish meal ever. After Jiang Yue and her family finished eating, Jiang's father and the others were still drinking. The children gathered together and played. Jiang Yue filmed a family video and posted it on Douyin. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people online, and the number of likes exceeded 10,000 in no time.

This year's Spring Festival Gala also underwent changes, removing many so-called educational programs. Many veteran artists, thanks to the power of the gene serum, have returned to the stage. Jiang Yue is delighted with this, as she has been eating dumplings for decades and is tired of seeing them.

Correspondingly, it's even harder for newcomers in the entertainment industry to make a name for themselves. Originally, they were going to outlive the veteran actors, but who knew they would suddenly rise to their peak again and reach new heights? Now Barbie Q is out of luck, and all they can do is rely on their acting skills.

There was an interesting segment on the Spring Festival Gala that talked about the problems faced by working people after the release of artificial intelligence. Some bosses still use the old methods, forcing overtime without paying overtime, not giving holidays for various reasons, and delaying or not paying compensation after dismissal. With artificial intelligence taking over the labor arbitration department, working people have finally ushered in a spring.

Now, employees who file for arbitration are almost guaranteed to win. They can submit evidence online and have AI handle the case on-site. Some simple cases, such as those involving unpaid wages, can be resolved in one or two days.

More complex cases can be solved quickly with the support of massive amounts of data, unless a situation never encountered before is encountered. But there's nothing new under the sun. The Jade Rabbit is now jokingly referred to by working people as their Bao Qingtian (a famous judge in Chinese history).

After watching the Spring Festival Gala, it was getting late. Jiang Yue's house couldn't accommodate so many people, so those who lived nearby went back to their own homes, while those who lived further away stayed at her house. The next morning, Jiang Yue got up very early because there were many children in the house, and soon they came to ask for red envelopes. Sure enough, Jiang Yue had just gotten up and hadn't even finished getting dressed when someone knocked on the door.

"Coming, coming, stop knocking!"

After getting dressed, she took out the red envelope. Although online payment is convenient, giving red envelopes is a very ceremonial thing. After opening the door, the two little ones outside greeted her with a barrage of greetings. Some of the older ones knew what to call her, but the little ones, being small, just followed along and called her whatever they wanted. Jiang Yue couldn't help but smile wryly.

After giving red envelopes to the children, Jiang Yue and Xuanxuan went to wish their elders a Happy New Year. They knew that Jiang Yue was the richest in the family, but giving red envelopes was still a blessing. After the New Year's greetings and breakfast, all the relatives except for their grandparents and maternal grandparents went home.

After seeing everyone off, Jiang Yue had some free time. She played chess with her grandparents for a while, and after winning a few games without much control, they kicked her out. After returning to her room, Jiang Yue put on her smart glasses and went online. She had already sent out countless red envelopes in her fan group, and many people were tagging her to send red envelopes.

Jiang Yue looked at the more than 30 groups with a total of 150,000 members. She calculated that she had sent 50,000 yuan in red envelopes to each group, which meant she had sent out 1.5 million yuan in red envelopes. Seeing Jiang Yue's big donation, some of her supporters also generously donated. Jiang Yue was moved by their emotions and sent out another 500,000 yuan, making it a total of 2 million yuan.

Although she hasn't done many live streams in the past six months, her earnings have far exceeded 2 million. Those who can join the group are basically her loyal fans. She can't be stingy during the Chinese New Year. After the red envelopes were all claimed, everyone urged Jiang Yue to start a live stream again. It's been more than a month since she last did a live stream. Shouldn't she do one during the Chinese New Year?

Jiang Yue thought they made sense, so she went to the e-sports room, turned on the computer, and started a live stream for everyone. She didn't expect so many people to be watching during the Chinese New Year; within minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream exceeded one million, and the number of likes surpassed ten million. Jiang Yue looked at the chat and saw it was filled with:

[Happy New Year, host! × 100086]

"Thank you everyone, thank you for your support throughout the year. On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I wish you all a Happy New Year!" After saying this, Jiang Yue stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Wishing everyone a prosperous and successful New Year, with everything going smoothly. May your future be bright and promising. May everything be renewed and your wealth increase. May you enjoy happiness, harmony, and joy. Happy New Year and all the best!"

After exchanging New Year's greetings, Jiang Yue returned to her computer and saw that the screen was full of space stations and interstellar warships that everyone had sent her. Jiang Yue quickly thanked everyone: "Okay, okay, everyone, stop for a second. Today, the streamer is here to give you guys some perks, so please don't give me any more perks, hahaha."

"Come on, let's start with a lucky draw! Ten lucky bags, each worth 10,000 yuan, will be given out at once. No conditions required, just send a New Year's greeting via a password red envelope!"

"Whether you were a fan of our live stream before or not, you can participate now. Don't miss out!"

"The second lucky bag is a follow-up. Just like the previous lucky bag, new fans can participate by simply following, and old fans can too."

"Come on, let's have another lucky bag, but it's only for loyal fans. I'll give away ten of them, each worth 50,000. This lucky bag is only for our loyal fans. New fans, don't be envious. Follow me and you can participate in the lucky draw next year."

"The last heavyweight one is only for fans with maxed-out fan badges. This gift is very valuable, and to be honest, the streamer doesn't have many of them. I won't reveal what it is. The gift can only be divided into five parts at most. If you win but don't like it, you can contact me to exchange it for cash. If you give up the prize, you can get a cash reward of 500,000."

"Alright, the lucky bags have been sent out. They're scheduled to be sent out in ten minutes. Damn, I saw some people saying the streamer was bragging and wouldn't give out the prizes. Come on, brothers, let's send some space stations... no, no, let's send some starships to show off to our new fans!"

The viewers in the live stream were also very supportive. As soon as Jiang Yue opened her mouth, a hundred interstellar warships were sent: "Newbies, did you see that? I really don't need this much money, so don't worry. If I were alone before without an assistant, it might have been a bit slower, and it's understandable if you suspected me of cheating. But now I have an AI assistant, so if you win, it might arrive in less than a minute."

"By the way, Brother XX, Sister S, and all of you who have supported the streamer from the very beginning, I sent you a mystery gift before the stream started. Judging by the time, it should arrive soon. See if you like it when you receive it!"
