Chapter 71 The heroine is a glutton for happiness
After An Yin received the original owner's memories, he calmly cleaned up the room.
Then he found the original owner's cell phone, which was about to be turned off, on the bedside table.
When I opened my phone, countless group messages from the company popped up.
In the private chat box, there was a series of bombardments from the agent Wu Ge.
Fifth Brother:
"An Lele, what are you doing? I asked you to entertain Boss Qin for dinner, so why didn't you come? Don't think you can show off just because you've made some progress on your food streaming account recently. I can make you famous, but I can also bring you down!"
"You stupid girl, how dare you not answer the phone?"
"I'll be back later and I won't kill you!"
"Are you crazy? You didn't even reply to my messages? Are you dead?"
…
An Yin frowned as he received all this information. Based on the original owner's memory, he roughly summarized some things about this "Fifth Brother".
This fifth brother was the person who "bought" An Lele back from the scumbag. He is also a key member of the debt collection company and manages the current Hedgehog Entertainment.
All the internet celebrities in Hedgehog Entertainment are victims of loan sharking.
Among them, the girl who looks like Xue 77 in the Hedgehog Video met the wrong person and was deceived into taking a plastic surgery loan.
Not only did he owe a huge debt, but he was also taken by his fifth brother to have plastic surgery to imitate Xue 77.
In Hedgehog Entertainment, there are many different types of victims.
Among them, there are students who have taken out campus loans, ignorant girls who have been deceived into taking out plastic surgery loans, and many girls like her who are inexplicably owed debts by their boyfriends and are inexperienced in the world.
Not only did the Fifth Brother let them do live broadcasts, but at certain times, he would also let them meet some important investors.
If they are favored by investors, girls can also make a choice.
If you are unwilling, the other party will not force you, and may even kick you out of the company, leaving you with no chance to pay off your debts with this job. From then on, you will face a hellish life of debt collection.
Now that they work for Hedgehog Entertainment, at least they can enjoy peace and quiet, and occasionally receive some material rewards. Their living place and quality of life are no different from those of normal people.
If someone owes too much money and is disobedient, he may be taken overseas by the Fifth Brother to make films to pay off his debts.
Compared to those industries abroad that "sell people to pay off debts", live streaming in China is at least somewhat "decent".
The nature of this incident is similar to the "Zhang Chong and Zhang Xun brothers in Shayang Building" incident, but there are some differences.
The difference is that the fifth brother did not restrict their freedom of life. Whether to do live broadcasts or whether to receive investment fathers is a personal choice.
Even if they call the police, these people can still exploit legal loopholes because they are real creditors after all.
Paying back debts has been a natural right since ancient times.
Hedgehog Entertainment not only gives them a chance to breathe, but also provides them with job opportunities to pay off their debts. If they spread the story in a beautified way, they might even receive social praise.
Thinking of this, An Yin felt a chill all over his body.
In the past, she felt that the China she was protecting was a country whose light was shining upon the earth.
But now we find that there are still many dark corners in this country where light cannot reach.
The phone's battery level is only 1 and it will automatically shut down.
She charged her cell phone, then realized she was hungry, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bowl of instant noodles to cook.
The pot was boiling and the dough was falling apart.
An Yin was enjoying the aroma of this world's junk food when he heard someone knocking on the door.
The fifth brother brought people to bang on the door outside:
"An Lele, come out here! Did I give you face? How dare you be absent from such an important occasion tonight? Come out here! Stop playing dead!"
An Yin ignored him, took the cooked instant noodles and the pot to the bar, sat down and ate calmly.
As she took a bite, the taste of the instant noodles hit her taste buds, making her feel like she was back to the real world.
She ate instant noodles carefully while calling Tang Xiong.
The other party didn't answer the phone, so she could only send a message: "It's me. You may not believe it, but your little fairy of strong liquor has been reborn. I'm now possessed by a girl who just committed suicide. Her name is An Lele, and she's a food blogger. I might be in trouble later. Come over and help me deal with it."
Also sent the detailed address.
After sending this message, the knocking on the door outside became louder and louder.
The fifth brother roared outside: "You little bitch, if you don't come out, I'll tear the door down!"
The noodles in An Yin's mouth were soft and delicious. She bit off the instant noodles, then stood up, went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, placed it next to the food, and continued to eat the noodles calmly.
An Yin drank every last mouthful of noodle soup, his stomach filled with satisfaction.
She burped and sighed, "It would be even better if there was a bottle of liquor."
As soon as the girl finished speaking, the fifth brother and his men broke in through the door.
The man reeked of alcohol and looked at her unfriendly.
Even from a distance, she could smell the stench of alcohol on the man.
An Yin frowned and warned:
"I suggest you don't come here, for your safety."
The fifth brother seemed to have heard a joke. He rushed over in two or three steps and reached out to pull her away from the bar.
He didn't expect that as soon as he stretched out his hand, An Yin picked up a kitchen knife and hit the numb tendon in his arm with the back of it.
The force was so strong that his entire arm went numb.
The fifth brother was furious and raised his foot to kick An Yin, but An Yin dodged and grabbed the man by the collar and threw him to the ground.
The man didn't expect An Lele to suddenly have so much strength, and he fell face down on the ground.
After An Yin was reborn, he found that he had lost his muscle strength. He knocked down his fifth brother entirely because of the smooth movements in his mind and the clever force he exerted.
She stepped on the man on the ground, squatted down, and put the blade against the back of the man's neck.
The people brought by the fifth brother were about to rush over, but An Yin threatened, "Don't come over, or he will be beheaded."
They laughed at him, "Tsk, An Lele, did you drink fake wine? Just try to touch Fifth Brother!"
An Yin pressed the blade down a little: "I don't care. I have only one worthless life. If I die, I won't lose anything by taking someone with me. But I'm going to sacrifice my fifth brother's life, and there are still so many debts to be paid..."
The fifth brother felt a chill on his neck, and blood dripped down his neck. He thought his neck was broken, and quickly said:
"Don't come over here! Lele, my dear Lele, let's talk it out. I'll satisfy any request you make. You don't want to attend the investor dinner, right? Then don't go. Never go again. Live streaming at home is fine too. It's fine too. I respect your opinion."
An Yin was not in a hurry to let him go. At this time, Tang Xiong called.
When the call was connected, Tang Xiong was breathing rapidly, obviously in disbelief, fearing that it was just a prank.
An Yin could tell from his panting that he was at a loss, and said with a smile, "Are you coming? My troubles have come to me. If you don't come, you'll only see a corpse."
Tang Xiong on the phone was stunned.
This voice was completely different from An Yin's, but the tone of voice was exactly the same as An Yin's.
Tang Xiong was silent for a few seconds, then asked her, "How many bottles of Moutai did An Yin and I drink when we first met?"
He deliberately mispronounced the name of the wine.
An Yin sneered, "Brother, you can't be so heartless, can you? I was your first love who died, after all. How come you don't even remember what we drank when we first met? It was Yanjing Erguotou, six pounds in total."
Tang Xiong on the other end of the phone fell silent immediately, but the call was not hung up. Immediately afterwards, the sound of running feet could be heard.
Just as An Yin hung up the phone, a tall figure appeared at the door.
A handsome man walked in and looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him without saying a word.
An Yin looked at him with amusement: "You came very quickly. What? Are you unhappy that I'm back?"
The face was unfamiliar, the voice was unfamiliar, but the tone was incredibly familiar to him.
Tang Xiong took a deep breath, gently took the kitchen knife from An Yin's hand, pulled her to her feet, and asked, "How is it? Are you used to it?"
An Yin nodded: "It's okay, I don't feel any rejection."
Tang Xiong looked at the girl, his throat rolled, and his voice lowered: "Then, can I hug you?"
An Yin rang it for a moment and shook her head: "Not very good. I'm not completely used to it yet. I can't accept this strange woman hugging you."
Tang Xiong closed his slightly opened arms again, and said with a look of regret: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you."
He glanced at the frightened man lying on the ground, then at the other confused people in the room.
He asked:
"How do we deal with these troubles?"
An Yin simply stated, "I'm in debt of hundreds of thousands of yuan, loan sharking, with interest compounding. I don't know how much it's become. It's probably a huge debt that I'll never be able to pay off in my lifetime as a food streamer. Please help me hire a lawyer, and then accompany me to report it to the police."
The fifth brother got up from the ground and finally calmed down. He was so angry that he went to the kitchen to get another sharp knife and stabbed An Yin.
Tang Xiong reached out and grabbed Fifth Brother's wrist, twisted it backhand, and the sharp blade in the other's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Then he slapped the man in the face.
The slap was so powerful that the man was knocked to the side and hit against the cabinet next to him. He felt dizzy and passed out.
The other men finally reacted and helped the fifth brother up:
"Fifth brother, are you okay?"
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Fifth brother, what do you need us to do? Kill them?"
"What the hell! Fifth Brother is already like this, and you still want to do something to someone else! Send Fifth Brother to the hospital right away!"
-
When An Yin left, the fifth brother came to his senses and pointed at her, cursing, "You stinky girl! Once you walk out of this building, don't even think about coming back! I want to see how you can pay back your debt! No wonder you didn't even come to the dinner party tonight. You have a stinky man, right? You think a stinky man can help you escape from your suffering and pay back your debt? You're dreaming! Just wait and see!"
The two ignored his chatter and walked out without looking back.
Tang Xiong accompanied An Yin to report to the police and contacted the top lawyer of Fengkai Law Firm to help An Yin fight the lawsuit.
Three days later.
Sun Shaoqi sent the mythical beast Taotie to the villa. The little Taotie looked listless and seemed to be in a very bad mood.
Xue Qi was preparing breakfast at the island counter when the little Taotie jumped onto the counter, drooping his ears, and rubbed against Xue Qi's arm.
Xue Qi looked at her with amusement: "What's wrong? You look listless and frustrated."
The little Taotie said, "I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry. I didn't expect that using my divine power would consume so much energy. This is something that I can't make up for even if I eat a lot of food."
Xue Qi cut two baguettes for her and pushed them towards her: "It's easy to eat your fill. Be our food blogger, and you can eat as much as you want."
She recounted the details of the cooperation to Little Taotie, who, with his mouth full of crumbs, looked at her in disbelief. "Is there such a good thing? I'm just responsible for eating, so I don't have to pay you, right? Won't I eat you bankrupt?"
Xue Qi smiled and said, "As long as you can eat for 10 hours, I will give you money."
Little Taotie couldn't believe that there was such a good thing in this world. He didn't even read the terms of the contract and immediately nodded in agreement.
Around 1 p.m., a Weibo post targeting Xue Qi became a hot topic.
Xue 77 Studio made a bold statement that his food broadcast can eat for 10 hours
The marketing account said:
"A while ago, Xue 77 and Hedgehog Entertainment were locked in a heated dispute over plagiarism. However, Hedgehog Entertainment's current operating model is indeed superior to their predecessor. Unwilling to accept this, Xue 77 made a bold statement, saying that their food streaming program would last 10 hours today. Half a day has passed, and there's been no response from Xue 77 Studios. I wonder if it was just empty talk?"
The following netizens commented:
"This move by Xue 77 Studio is really disheartening. I used to like Xue 77, but I didn't expect them to be so stingy! There are so many people imitating their style of live streaming, so why are they picking on Hedgehog Entertainment? Is it just because other people's food streamers and hosts are more diligent than theirs?"
"1. I've been following both sides, and I just want to say... Hedgehog Entertainment is truly conscientious and hardworking. The fact that they were able to surpass Xue 77 in traffic in such a short period of time is definitely not due to imitation, but due to hard work! God rewards hard work!"
"Has the Xue 77 family gone crazy? They've been live-streaming for 10 hours, and they dare to say this kind of bullshit? It's hilarious."
"What a bunch of idiots are saying. Plagiarism is plagiarism, what's there to wash? A video goes viral, and the whole internet imitates it, which is understandable. There are countless food bloggers imitating 77. But the one from Hedgehog's is just disgusting, isn't it? From a distance, who can tell if it's Xue 77 or Chen Hedgehog in the video? I saw Chen Hedgehog's video the other day and thought it was 77's mom, but when the camera zoomed in, I realized it wasn't her. Haha, I feel cheated."
"10,000. The most disgusting thing about Hedgehog House is that you plagiarized, so what? You stole the honor that others deserve, and then you step on the original owner. This is too much. The fact that they can extend the disgusting word "plagiarism" to this extent is really eye-opening to me."
"Don't even mention 77, it makes me mad just looking at it."
"Alright, are you guys annoyed, Xue 77 fans? The traffic speaks for itself! Chen Ci Hedgehog and her food streams have surpassed yours. The traffic speaks for itself. As long as the audience likes it, that's all that matters, isn't it?"
…
Xue Qi browsed Weibo and clicked on Hedgehog Food’s video homepage to take a look.
She discovered that each of Hedgehog Gourmet's videos had nearly 20 million more views than hers. Furthermore, their bundled marketing food-streaming accounts completely eclipsed her Xiaowen food-streaming account in terms of traffic.
In an era where traffic is king, the emergence of this hedgehog video directly took away half of Xue Qi's traffic in a short period of time, causing a sharp drop in Xue Qi's recent video traffic.
If we continue to leave it alone like this, Hedgehog Food will soon take its place, and the real Xue 77 Happy Food will be submerged in the torrent of history.
It has to be said that Hedgehog Entertainment is a huge product of successful capital management.
They not only imitated Xue 77, but also opened many video accounts imitating other broadcasters. However, only Xue 77 succeeded in imitating and surpassed the original.
In the afternoon, Xue Qi started the live broadcast and greeted the audience:
"Hello everyone, I'm 77. I've been busy lately and haven't had much time to livestream. I didn't expect someone to copy me like a sieve. Let me be clear here: just because I don't speak doesn't mean I'm easy to bully or a jerk. I will investigate the Hedgehog Food plagiarism to the end and take back everything that belongs to us."
Among netizens, some mocked, while others supported:
"What's the matter? With that tone of yours, do you think you can break the King of Heaven's Coolness?"
"Hahahahahahahaha Xue77, what are you going to do about this? Are you going to accuse them of plagiarizing you? At most, it's just imitation. The theme of their video is different from yours."
"Cheating fans, is that enough? You're not ashamed, but proud of it. You're disgusting! Your own test was copied, aren't you heartbroken? The other person did better than you, they were praised, and you were suppressed. Do you feel good about it? Put yourself in their shoes!"
"Support the 77 lawsuit! Take up legal action and kill the plagiarists!"
"After watching Chen Ci Hedgehog's video, I can't say she looks like 7 Mom anymore, she's exactly the same. Can you even wash it off? Ugh."
"It's not just Chen Hedgehog who's imitating Xue 77. This world has always been about imitation, and progress can only come from imitation. Please don't call imitation plagiarism. That's too much of a label, and Hedgehog can't bear it! The United States builds airplanes, so why can't we in China? They build spaceships and rockets, so why can't we? The entire process of human history and civilization all started with imitation!"
…
In short, there are all kinds of comments in the comment section.
Some people insulted Xue Qi, and quite a few made false excuses.
Xue Qi finished what he needed to say, and then went to the kitchen to live-stream himself making dumplings.
Xue Qi put a hundred dumplings into the pot, then quickly scooped them out and placed them on a large baking tray.
On the island counter, there were ten plates of dumplings, one hundred dumplings in total, not one less.
In the live broadcast, Xue Qi did not stop after cooking 100 dumplings, but continued to make dumplings.
Her hand speed was very fast, more than three times faster than the counterfeit.
The counterfeit could imitate her appearance, but not her cooking speed.
In the live broadcast, you can not only see Xue Qi making dumplings, but also see a pretty girl walk into the live broadcast room, sit down in front of the island, and start eating dumplings live.
Little Taotie greeted the live streamer: "Hello, everyone. I'm Taoti from 77.com. Today I'm challenging myself to eat dumplings for 10 hours without taking a break or going to the bathroom."
During the live broadcast, many people were netizens who came to watch the fun.
When they saw Taotie's petite figure, they all raised questions:
"? Xue Qi, what's wrong with you? You actually dragged a little girl out for a walk? And for 10 hours, you can't even last half an hour!"
"You're wrong. I can still hold on for half an hour. After all, this little girl eats really slowly. She can't even finish ten in half an hour, right?"
"They actually put more than a hundred dumplings in there. Have they learned how to attract attention? I'm so happy, hahaha."
Even Xue Qi's die-hard fans found it hard to believe:
"Although... can such a small body eat for 10 hours? I'm afraid she'll be begging for food even after an hour."
"This? 77, I know you're feeling wronged, but you don't have to give up! Hug me, 77! No matter what you go through, I'll stay with you!"
"I believe in 77, but I'm scared this time. This is obviously not common sense, how can I believe it?"
…
Amidst the doubts, the little Taotie has already started making dumplings. In order to make the eating show look more aesthetically pleasing, she changed from eating one in one bite to eating one in two bites.
She ate the dumplings in big mouthfuls and soon finished two plates of twenty dumplings. The key point was that she had no intention of stopping at all and ate faster and faster!
When she ate the fiftieth one, she seemed to be excited and ate a lot faster.
I was stunned by the live broadcast and sighed:
"Fuck, this girl has a big appetite! And the way her cheeks move when she eats dumplings is so cute!"
"Fuck, fifty! It's only been twenty minutes, girl, hold on! Eat slowly! That way you can delay the time! If you can't finish it in 10 hours, then one hour will be fine, don't force yourself! 150 in one hour is a lot!"
"I'm just a passerby, I just want to say that Xue 77's fans are really unpleasant, and Xue 77's outrageous remarks are really depressing."
"If you can eat this for 10 hours, I'll cut off my head and let Xue 77 kick it around like a ball."
…
However, what netizens did not expect was that the little glutton ate two hundred dumplings in an hour. If Xue Qi had not reminded her to eat slowly, she would have no problem eating thousands of dumplings in an hour.
In order to act like a normal person, she drank some water and went to the bathroom twice.
In the second hour, the little Taotie slowed down his eating speed and controlled the amount to 100 dumplings per hour.
At the 10th hour, Xue Qi called her: "Okay, you can end the broadcast now."
The little Taotie imitated the feeling of being aggrieved because he was not full. He licked his fingers reluctantly and then left unsatisfied.
Netizens watched as the little glutton ate 1,500 dumplings.
Soon, the topic of "Xue 77's big eater eats 1,500 dumplings!" became a hot search, and the little glutton became an instant celebrity.
Xue Qi opened a new account for her, and the number of fans immediately exceeded 500,000!
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes:
"Is she crazy? Did I count correctly? She ate 1,500 dumplings, right?"
"How could this person still be alive? I watched the livestream clips and watched the comments below, and there's no way this could be faked. Terrifying..."
"This is the real big eater! Although big eaters are very popular recently, compared to this sister, those big eaters are really not worth mentioning!"
"This is horrifying! I bow down to Xue 77. Where did he get this treasure? I just saw a science piece from 77 Studios, saying that girls are born with low intelligence, but their stomachs are over ten times larger than others! Plus, with her excellent digestive ability, she could eat 1,500 dumplings without any health problems!"
"Xue 77 knows that netizens are worried about the girl's health, so he promised to take her for a physical examination in the next live broadcast! Wow, I'm even more excited. I'm really curious, is the girl's health really okay?"
"Fuck! I'll never question Xue 77 again! This is a genetic mutation!"
"I feel like I've heard this a lot. Netizens are just that kind of stupid creatures who are crazy about being led by others' opinions, crazy about being slapped in the face by reversals, and never learn from their mistakes 2333333."
…
On the other side, Hedgehog Entertainment.
The fifth brother learned that Xue Qi had signed a big eater, and that his followers increased by 500,000 in one day, and that he had even become a trending topic after eating 1,500 dumplings. He immediately became envious and called the "spy" planted next to Xue Qi.
He wanted to poach Xiao Taotie, sign him to his own company, piss off Xue 77 to death, and completely replace him.
After replacing Xue 77, the host of Happy Food, he followed the same method and formed a team to "copy" more successful broadcasters.
In short, by letting the people under your control imitate those anchors and then copy their styles, it is very easy to divert the original traffic in this era of fast-food traffic.
…
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Xue Qi went to the back garden of the villa to weed the vegetable patch.
Little Taotie was sitting alone in the living room playing a puzzle.
Because she had eaten her fill today, she continued to maintain her human form and her divine power also recovered a little.
Just then, an assistant named Wang Yue from the photography team saw that no one was around and walked over to greet Little Taotie: "Hello, little sister, I'm Wang Yue. Are you interested in working with me to make a lot of money?"
Taotie wanted to say she wasn't interested, but then she remembered what Xue Qi had told her earlier in the morning.
Xue Qi said: If someone approaches her, she must not be indifferent, but must respond! If someone wants to poach her to join another company, she must also agree!
She reviewed Xue Qi's words in her mind and asked her, "Is it okay? After I make a lot of money, can I eat more meat?"
After a day of observation, Wang Yue was basically certain that this little Taotie was a simple and low-intelligence girl who was easily hungry.
She said, "Of course. I promise that in a year, you'll be able to buy a villa and drive a luxury car! The prerequisite is that you have to sign a contract with me and go to my friend's company to livestream eating. How about it, are you interested?"
The little Taotie blinked and nodded according to Xue Qi's plan.
While everyone was away, Wang Yue secretly drove Xiao Taotie out of the villa and took her to the branch of Hedgehog Entertainment.
When the fifth brother heard that Wang Yue had successfully tricked the talented big eater from Xue Qi's company, he personally rushed over to oversee the contract signing.
The contract terms of Hedgehog Entertainment are very overbearing, and none of them are beneficial to Xiao Taotie.
But Little Taotie only took a quick glance and said, "I can sign it, but you have to add one clause!"
The fifth brother looked at her calmly: "Okay, whatever conditions you want, just mention them."
Little Taotie said, "One more thing: you must make sure I'm well fed! When I want to eat, you must provide me with the portion I want! Otherwise, you'll have to pay me 100 million!"
Wang Yue looked at the man and whispered, "Fifth Brother, is this girl sick? She put forward such a stupid condition... and it's five hundred million. Why doesn't she go to heaven?"
The fifth brother laughed and whispered, "Promise her and give her the bonus."
Wang Yue was surprised: "Fifth brother, this?"
Fifth Brother smiled and said, "Our contract is full of overbearing clauses, but she refused to change any of them. What's the point of adding a specious clause? Do you think we can't afford her? Her daily job is to liven up her food. After the livestream, can she still have an appetite to eat? I'm afraid she'll feel like vomiting just by looking at food."
Wang Yue thought it made sense and nodded: "Fifth brother is still wise. This girl is really stupid."
Fifth Brother: "I'm not stupid, how could I be fooled by you?"
Wang Yue chuckled, "That's right. If she's not stupid, she wouldn't be fooled by me so easily. Fifth brother is smart. He added a clause to her, which makes her think we are good and the contract still benefits us. Unless this girl is a glutton who can swallow the sky and the earth, there is no way she would ask us to pay hundreds of millions in compensation, hahaha..."
