Chapter 40 Don't Open the Door
With Lu Yao's help, the dramatic events involving Gu Jing and Ye Zhirou have temporarily come to an end.
It brought the story to a relatively satisfactory conclusion.
Lu Yao sat upright in front of the camera again, ready to draw the next person destined for her.
The barrage of comments was so dense it was dazzling.
However, Lu Yao's bright, star-like eyes instantly locked onto an account named [Want to Eat Grass Cake].
[Wanting to eat grass cake] was caught off guard and unexpectedly struck by Lady Luck.
She hurriedly opened the connection, and a slightly immature face appeared on the screen.
Green Grass Cake's face was slightly flushed; she seemed a little nervous and awkward, and stammered as she spoke.
"Oh my god~ Am I the streamer's destined person tonight? I...I...I haven't thought of what to ask yet. My life is just ordinary, unlike others who can afford a club, and no one in my family is cursed..."
The live chat exploded instantly.
[Jealousy, can you sell me the spot if I offer 5k?]
[Only 5k? Do you know how much the streamer helped the last person they met, recovering hundreds of millions in assets? Do you know how much they tipped at the Carnival?]
The chat was noisy, with everyone chiming in, making [Want to Eat Grass Cake] even more nervous than before.
She stammered, "I... I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have any family feuds to speak of, I'm sorry to disappoint everyone."
A look of shame flashed in her eyes.
Compared to those with legendary experiences in this live stream, I am far too ordinary.
It seems a bit of a waste of this spot.
Oh, it's okay, it's okay, we didn't mean that.
Kind-hearted viewers, seeing this, quickly sent messages of comfort in the live chat.
Lu Yao's voice was gentle yet firm in her reassurance: "Green Grass Cake, you can ask me anything, even the most trivial things. Don't let the comments affect you."
[I want to eat grass cake] I gradually calmed down.
She smiled gratefully at the anchor and began to seriously consider what she wanted to calculate.
After a short while, she made up her mind. "Thank you, host. Thank you, Master Qiannian. Now, let me ask about the prospects of my job. I just joined this company last week. I feel that the industry is very vibrant, and my colleagues are very friendly. Please take another look and see if there are any hidden pitfalls."
This is the first job I had after graduating from Green Grass Cake.
It filled her with anticipation, yet also tinged with a hint of worry.
[So relatable...it brings tears to my eyes. I haven't encountered such a down-to-earth question in a long time.]
Indeed, before, it was always either murder cases or family feuds among the wealthy; I almost thought I was the only poor person in the world.
Lu Yao focused her gaze intently on [Want to Eat Grass Cake]'s face, and after a moment, slowly said, "This company is very good, very suitable for your development, and you have a benefactor here who will help you. If you work hard, you will definitely make progress."
Hearing that he wanted to eat grass cake, he was overjoyed, his eyes sparkling with happiness.
Upon hearing the word "benefactor," he seemed to ponder deeply: "The master was absolutely right. The leader who interviewed me greatly admired me and offered to mentor me through my probationary period. I think he must be my benefactor!"
Some viewers in the live chat disagreed, commenting, "She's definitely a recent graduate, naive and easily fooled. Be careful, her boss might take advantage of her and have ulterior motives!"
[Aren't leaders supposed to be busy? Why are they being so proactive? I also suspect something's fishy. Green Grass Cake, you should be more careful.]
[Want to eat grass cake] frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Why do you all assume the leader is a man? The leader looked at my resume and found out that we graduated from the same university, that she is my senior, so he was particularly kind to me and willing to help me."
Uh, I thought... Sorry, that was a stereotype.
[Aren't you just questioning the streamer? The streamer has already confidently declared that this person is a benefactor, and you're still slandering them.]
"Thank you, Master Millennium. I'm very satisfied with the result. I will work hard. Thank you!" [Want to eat grass cake] said happily, then scratched her head shyly, "But I just started working and don't have much savings. I'll give the master a romantic firework as a reward."
She felt a little embarrassed, thinking that her gift was too meager.
Lu Yao nodded gently, "Just do what you can and let things take their course."
“However…” Lu Yao frowned slightly, a look of worry flashing in her eyes, “Young friend, although you only asked about your career prospects, I must remind you that there is some dark aura between your eyebrows. You must be careful in other aspects, as something bad may happen.”
Upon hearing this, the smile on [Want to Eat Grass Cake]'s face vanished instantly.
"What kind of matter is it? I humbly request your guidance, Master!"
[As expected, the people chosen by the streamer are all in need of some help. I always said that people who have it too easy don't need fortune telling...]
Someone in the live chat expressed this sentiment.
[Want to eat grass cake], who was already in a state of high tension, suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door behind her.
She was sitting on the sofa making a video call when the sudden noise startled her so much that she almost jumped up and immediately turned around to look.
The room was dimly lit, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
[Someone's knocking on the door so late? That's a bit scary. Be careful not to open the door easily.]
Warnings were issued by viewers in the live chat.
[Wanting to eat grass cake] made her expression increasingly tense.
She took a deep breath to calm herself down: "Don't worry, I won't open the door directly. I'll look through the peephole first."
[Want to eat grass cake] Holding her phone, she tiptoed towards the door.
The audience in the live stream were also infected by her nervousness, and involuntarily held their breath, staring intently at the screen.
She leaned closer to the peephole and looked carefully.
Then I breathed a sigh of relief.
A relaxed smile returned to her face as she addressed the live stream audience:
"Everyone can rest assured, it's just the neighbor's kid, Jie. He often asks me for help with math problems, and he probably just encountered a problem he couldn't solve today."
She patted her chest to calm her wildly beating heart.
A middle-aged couple lived next door to her.
The man called himself Brother Zhang, and the woman called herself Sister Li.
The two were with a seven or eight-year-old boy named A-Jie.
Brother Zhang and Sister Li run a food cart. They leave early and return late every day, braving wind and rain, making a living by selling snacks. Their lives are very busy and arduous.
Sometimes they would bring Ah Jie along to set up their stall.
More often than not, Ah-Jie would have to be left alone at home.
[Want to eat grass cake] I feel very sorry for this boy named A-Jie.
So every time Ah-Jie knocked on the door to ask a question, she would answer patiently and without reservation.
That's good, it was really scary in the middle of the night.
[Seriously, kids' homework these days is really hard. My sister gets so frustrated every time she explains a problem to her son.]
[That's right, my brother and sister-in-law had a huge fight over how to avoid explaining the problems to each other, and they almost got divorced.]
[Want to eat grass cake] Just as he was about to open the door, Lu Yao suddenly stopped him with a serious expression: "Don't open the door."
