"Iam Peter Hodes, avolunteerstem
courier…
The boy's clear and pleasant voice came through the phone speaker into the man's ears. His English pronunciation was standard and fluent, and unlike his usual speech, it had a touch of magnetism and a unique charm.
Gu Fei listened quietly while looking at the screen. The unhurried pace and gentle tone of the voice seemed to have a unique soothing quality, gradually calming down Gu Fei's somewhat depressed mood.
Gu Fei wasn't a heavy smoker. He stubbed out the cigarette he was holding between two fingers in the ashtray, then pulled out a chair and sat down at his desk. For once, he didn't do any work, but instead stared intently at his phone screen watching someone else's live stream.
If the assistant were to come in now, they would definitely be very surprised.
After Lin Qingyan finished reading an article, she looked up at the screen and saw many notifications of donations:
Hallelujah sent 10 flowers to the streamer.
Fried eggs with strawberry jam were given to the streamer as a gift [lollipops] x20
A high-quality female celebrity gifted 5 rings to the streamer.

[Holy crap, I skipped two English classes and just ended up listening to someone read English reading comprehension questions aloud on a live stream, and I was actually enjoying it?!]
[Add one upstairs]
[Wow, this guy's English is so charming! I could listen to it forever! Keep reading, keep reading!!]
"Thank you all for your support, but the student who skipped class earlier still needs to study hard. You can watch the live stream after school too." The boy's tone was earnest yet gentle, and a faint smile played between his handsome eyebrows.
Many viewers in the live stream who had skipped class or were distracted by playing on their phones wished they could immediately go back to studying.
Learn! Learn for a million years!
We'll learn from them until we die!
Even the explosion of the universe and the destruction of Earth cannot stop Lao Tzu from learning!
[Wow, handsome, please read me another English passage! I'm going to study all night after you finish!]
Lin Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, his pale lips curving into an alluring smile. The viewers in the live stream were captivated. He thought for a moment and said, "Forget about reading in English, how about I sing you a song instead?"
[This young man can actually sing?!]
Sing, sing, sing!!!
Lin Qingyan's singing skills are even more professional than his English skills. He has a good voice and has received professional training. He didn't prepare anything, not even an accompaniment. He just took a sip of water to clear his throat and began to sing a cappella:
"I am a blue whale that has become a lonely island."
It has the largest figure,
Fish and shrimp swam around me.
Birds also perched on its back…
The soothing rhythm, paired with the young man's gentle and clear voice, was not overly technical, but the song was full of stories and emotions, which were transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the power of their mobile phones, and everyone listened attentively without their consent.
Lin Qingyan only sang one verse. When he stopped, the previously still comments started flooding the screen with gifts, all praising his singing. Modern netizens are masters of flattery.
[Waaaaah, my brother's singing touched my heart so deeply!]
[She's not only good-looking, but she also sings so well, and her English is so charming, while all I can do is say "abba aba aba" sob sob]
[This young man sang with such heart and soul, so genuinely.]
Lin Qingyan stared blankly at the scrolling comments on the screen. It had been a long time since anyone had praised him like that. During those dark days, no one was willing to listen to his singing seriously. No matter how well he sang, all he ever received was belittling and ridicule.
His nose tingled, and his eyes welled up with tears, but his face wore a genuine smile of joy. The boy bowed his head and sincerely thanked everyone, his eyes sparkling like stars.
Just as he was feeling conflicted, he suddenly noticed a few comments on the screen:
[Hey bro, go participate in Tomorrow's Stars! We'll vote for you to debut as the center!]
[I second that! My little brother is so handsome and sings so well, he should debut right now! I'll vote for him every day!]
[I second the proposal to add 10086!]
Before Lin Qingyan could even think about it, he was astonished by what happened next. He wondered which rich and foolish tycoon was showering him with gifts.
Bean Sprout 591349852 gifted the streamer a [Unicorn] x1
Bean Sprout 591349852 gifted the streamer a [Super Rocket] x1
Bean Sprout 591349852 gifted the streamer 10 [Helicopters]
...
Lin Qingyan was speechless for a moment, and the viewers in the live broadcast room were also shocked. It wasn't that no one gave gifts, but none of them were more than a hundred yuan.
However, this wealthy person, who hasn't even changed their nickname and is still using the initial login nickname, has already given away tens of thousands of yuan, and is still continuing.
Two words: awesome.
Three words: I'm so envious.
In short, it's good to be rich.
Holy crap, we've caught a rich, gullible tycoon!
[Rich guy seeking a sugar daddy/sugar baby/mommy/support!!!]
[Look at me, you rich guy! I only eat six meals a day and I'm very easy to feed!!]
"This bean sprout 591... this friend, please don't send any more, it's too much! Um... I have something to do, so I'll stop here for today, goodbye everyone!" Lin Qingyan finished speaking incoherently and hurriedly turned off the live stream.
...He may become the first streamer in history to be scared away by too many gifts from fans.
In the CEO's office on the other side, Mr. Gu hesitated slightly before putting down his phone. His expression was calm but revealed an indescribable complexity. He didn't understand why he had done what he had just done.
Is the rich, foolish person who was just described by netizens as someone who keeps showering others with gifts really him?
That's right, that's it.
...
Gu Fei's mind replayed the scene from earlier. When the boy sang, his beautiful eyes shone brightly, so earnest and focused that it was impossible to look away.
He never knew that Lin Qingyan liked to sing, and he never expected that this introverted and shy child would do a live broadcast online. In his mind, children are afraid of being photographed and afraid of other people's attention.
This is a very contradictory thing.
The man's handsome brows furrowed slightly, and a ripple appeared in his deep, calm eyes.
Watching the account, which had only been registered half an hour ago, grow from zero followers to several thousand, and then looking at the five-figure balance in the account wallet, Lin Qingyan's emotions remained unsettled for a long time.
Who on earth was so generous as to give him so many gifts?
Perhaps they really are just nouveau riche with money to burn.
After calming down, Lin Qingyan put the matter aside and thought of another thing that netizens had mentioned earlier.
Tomorrow's stars.
Lin Qingyan had a deep impression of this. Tomorrow's Stars was a talent show imported from overseas. 88 trainees competed and performed for several months before being eliminated, and finally eight were selected to debut as a group.
In his memory, the show was not well received at first, but it caused a great sensation as soon as it aired. It was very popular back then, and many of the contestants later became popular celebrities.
