Chapter 69
Are you only counting five people in the morning and only five people in the afternoon?
Xu Gui's words immediately drew out many lurking netizens in the live stream.
"Alright, since no one objects, then this will be the arrangement from now on," Xu Gui said seriously, happily making this decision on his own.
Netizens who heard this were like: ? ?
No, you didn't even glance at the comments! We've been saying we're against it the whole time!! Look at the comments!
Xu Gui smiled to himself, thinking: Knowing you'll object, I'm not going to read the comments.
The person filming had seen the comments on the screen. He secretly glanced at Xu Gui and thought to himself: Teacher Xu's skin can be quite thick sometimes. It's rare to see a celebrity lying so blatantly.
Xu Gui glanced at the time and said, "I've already counted five people today, so we can go home now!"
Amidst the angry stares of viewers in the live stream, she changed the subject, saying, "However, since it's the first day, I'll count one more person as a bonus."
Netizens: You're offering a stick and a candy, do you think we'll fall for that?
A viewer in the live stream commented:
We need to show Xu Gui our anger! We need to let her know that we can't be treated like this! I suggest that when she hits someone later, none of us should get involved; let her feel our anger firsthand!
I agree!
【I agree! I definitely won't participate later!】
Okay, then it's settled.
Then, when the pop-up window for drawing participants appeared in the live stream, the number of people choosing to participate was soaring. In the blink of an eye, the number of participants had already reached more than six million.
A group of people: "..." You said you wouldn't participate, but you wanted to use this opportunity to express your anger towards Xu Gui? Where is your anger?

The viewer selected in this live stream was a man. He wanted a divination about his marriage, or more precisely, why his girlfriend was unwilling to marry him.
"Although we've only known each other for two months, we have a very good relationship. I really like her and want to marry her."
The man started telling everyone how wonderful his girlfriend was.
According to him, his girlfriend is beautiful, has a good personality, and is not only gentle but also considerate. So, after knowing each other for a week, they started dating with marriage in mind.
"My girlfriend is really good to me!" the man emphasized. "At noon, she even cooks lunch for me and brings it to me. Her stewed pork ribs are especially delicious! She is truly a virtuous wife and loving mother, the selfless type, she is simply the perfect wife in my mind."
"Most importantly, she was willing to pay for my house purchase and didn't even ask for her name to be on the property certificate. You don't know, she's completely different from those extremely materialistic and money-grubbing women in society today. She's especially pure and virtuous. When she's with me, she doesn't want anything from me and never lets me spend money on her. She even often gives me money to spend."
When a man talks about his girlfriend, his tone is full of praise, but at the same time, it carries a hint of disdain and contempt for other girls.
The girls in the live stream couldn't help but roll their eyes. One girl commented: "[You can praise your girlfriend, but why put down other girls? Are you sick?]"
The man also saw these comments and proudly said, "That's because you don't know how good my girlfriend is. Compared to other girls, she's simply an angel! You don't know, she told me that if we get married, she doesn't ask for gold jewelry or dowry. She just wants me as a person and for how good I am to her!"
"She doesn't like me spending money on her. She says my money is for buying a house for our marriage. In fact, she's the one spending money on me. She even bought me a crocodile skin bag before. She's so good to me!"
The man spoke with pride, clearly feeling very honored.
Listening to it for the viewers in the live stream, however, evoked a different feeling.
The man felt incredibly lucky. He must have done something wonderful in his past life to have such a wonderful woman throwing herself at him. Where could he find such a gentle and understanding wife?
There are so many materialistic girls these days, demanding gold jewelry and a dowry. Is she marrying someone or selling herself? You're lucky, bro, to have met such a wonderful girlfriend.
【Who can argue with that? When my ex-girlfriend and I were discussing marriage, her parents insisted on a dowry of 30,000 yuan from my family. Tell me, isn't that selling their daughter?】
My ex-girlfriend's family also wanted a car and a house, but these days, who buys a house? Buying a house is a loss, but my ex-girlfriend's family just doesn't understand this. When they heard that I wasn't buying a house or a car, they dragged my ex-girlfriend to the hospital and made her abort my child, so she would break up with me. They were absolutely vicious and cruel.
So, women these days are too materialistic. They only care about whether a man has money. Is money really that important? Shouldn't a person's character be more important?
The fortune teller felt a sense of superiority as he looked at the men's comments.
“My girlfriend is different,” he said proudly. “Although she also said that we must buy a house when we get married, she offered to contribute money to buy a house with me. I said no, but she insisted.”
The man asked, "Do you know what my girlfriend said? She said that buying a house is so that we can have a home together after we get married, and as a member of that home, she should naturally support me!"
"So your girlfriend must have asked you to add her name to the property deed, right? I had a girlfriend like that before. Who did she think she was, wanting to have her name on the property deed just because she was in charge of the renovations? There's no such thing as a free lunch! So I broke up with her immediately!"
Man: "No, my girlfriend has never mentioned putting her name on the property deed. I did mention it, but she said that I paid the majority of the money, and she only helped add some money, so there's no need to put her name on it."
Upon hearing this, the male viewers in the live stream felt an overwhelming sense of envy towards men.
"Why aren't we so lucky to have met such a wonderful girlfriend?" they couldn't help but say.
The man couldn't help but show a smug look, and said in a proud tone, "Maybe it's because I'm a pretty good catch that she has good taste and chose someone as outstanding as me!"
The girls in the live stream, listening to the man's words, felt increasingly uneasy. They summarized the characteristics of his girlfriend: beautiful, gentle, virtuous, and selfless.
In his words, she was practically the perfect wife in every man's eyes.
[Haha, this guy's girlfriend is definitely an idealized version, right? He described her as if she were a heroine from a popular novel, so perfect. I don't believe there's really a woman who could be so selfless and devoted.]
[! Now I finally know what that awkward feeling I've always had is—it's perfection! The girlfriend this guy described was just too perfect. How could anyone in this world be without any flaws?]
[Such women definitely exist; after all, some people may have a selfless personality and enjoy giving to others.]
[Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I have a thought: do you think this guy might have fallen victim to a honey trap?]
Seeing these comments, the man couldn't help but retort angrily, "What do you women know? Do you think my girlfriend is like you mercenary and calculating women? Humph, she's much better than you women. She knows how to consider her husband, unlike you selfish women."
The girls, suddenly accused of being selfish: ?? What the heck?
"So, have you bought the house?" Xu Gui suddenly asked, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere in the live broadcast room.
The man's tone was still indignant. He said, "Of course I bought it. If we're going to get married, we definitely need to buy a house! My girlfriend's only requirement for me is that we must have a house when we get married."
Perhaps afraid that others would think he was bragging again, he quickly explained, "I also agree with my girlfriend's idea. After all, we will definitely have children after we get married, and we will definitely need a place to live then."
Xu Gui asked with interest, "You've already thought about having children?"
The man replied matter-of-factly, "After marriage, of course we'll have children. Our family has only one son per generation, how can we live without children? I've already decided that after marriage we'll have three children, preferably two sons and one daughter, to have both a son and a daughter."
Upon hearing this, Xu Gui steered the conversation back on track, asking, "How did you buy your house? Did you take out a loan for the down payment?"
"..." The man was silent for a few seconds, then said somewhat awkwardly, "At my age, I can only buy a house with a loan. A down payment of 1.5 million is actually quite impressive for me!"
Xu Gui: "How much did your girlfriend give you?"
The man said somewhat reluctantly, "Fifty or sixty thousand... She's a girl, she doesn't have much money, so she only gave me this much. But she didn't ask me to pay it back, and she didn't want me to add her name to the property deed. She's simply the most considerate woman in the world."
Xu Gui chuckled softly. Hearing her laughter, the man suddenly felt uncomfortable and said with some displeasure, "Do your questions have anything to do with what I asked you to do for me?"
Xu Gui remembered this and said "Oh," then asked, "By the way, what did you want to calculate again?"
The man said irritably, "I asked you to help me figure out why my girlfriend doesn't want to marry me. I've bought a house and everything is ready, but she's suddenly become cold towards me. She wasn't like this before."
The man's tone became troubled.
Xu Gui asked, "Have you seen her recently?"
Man: "...No, when I called her, she said she was very busy. From her voice, she definitely sounded like she was busy with work."
Xu Gui: "Actually, you've already noticed that her attitude towards you has changed; she's become very cold, right?"
The man subconsciously explained, "It's not that she's being cold. I know she's just too busy, too busy to go on dates with me... No, I'm asking you why my girlfriend doesn't want to marry me. Do these questions you're asking have anything to do with what I want to know?"
Xu Gui said, "Of course it's related. Aren't you curious why she doesn't want to marry you? Well, it's because she's already sold her house, so there's no need for her to pay attention to you anymore."
man:? ? ?
"What do you mean by that?" he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Gui said, "Think carefully, when did your girlfriend start ignoring you? Was it after you bought the house?"
"I told you, she didn't ignore me!" The man was still unwilling to admit it.
Xu Gui was too lazy to argue with him, and only said, "Since you're concerned about this, then I'll tell you why. Your girlfriend was only after you bought her a house from the beginning. All that talk about being your girlfriend and discussing marriage was just a tactic to sell you the house. Now that the house is sold, why would she bother with you anymore?"
Hearing this, the man was a little confused. He seemed to think about it for a moment, because there was a few seconds of silence in the microphone. After a few seconds, he said, "That doesn't make sense. If she wanted to sell the house, why would she take out money to help me with the down payment?"
Xu Gui chuckled and said, "If she sells your house, she'll get more than 30,000 in commission alone. If you take out 30,000, she can get 70,000 back. No matter how you look at it, this deal is a win-win, right?"
The man bought a large single-level apartment, 150 square meters, which cost more than three million yuan. His girlfriend sold the apartment and earned nearly 100,000 yuan in commission alone, making a net profit of 70,000 yuan. The initial 30,000 yuan was just to cover the "cost" of the man buying the apartment.
"Impossible!" The man didn't believe Xu Gui's words. "If she was only doing this to sell the house, why would she be so considerate to me? She cooks for me, does my laundry... and she's the one who said she wanted to marry me!"
Xu Gui sighed, "She's not considerate to you, and she doesn't talk to you about marriage, so why would you buy a house? Did she tell you that she was buying a house to be your wedding home?"
People generally buy houses for only two reasons: either as an investment or to live in themselves. The latter is mostly used as a wedding home for newlyweds.
The man's "girlfriend" exploited this psychology and successfully persuaded him to buy the house.
For the man, Xu Gui's words were like a bomb, leaving him dizzy and disoriented. He gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible! You must have miscalculated! Who would make such a huge sacrifice to buy a house?"
"Sacrifice?" Xu Gui found it amusing. She retorted, "Did she make any sacrifices? She just cooked you a few meals and let you hold her hand. In two months, she made 70,000 yuan. Not to mention, you're not the only customer she has."
"In just two months, she could earn several million yuan in commissions by selling houses using this method. How can that be considered a sacrifice?"
This is clearly a way to make money, a lot of money!
The man didn't hear Xu Gui's question; he only heard one sentence.
"I'm not the only customer she has?" the man asked with some difficulty. "What do you mean by that?"
Xu Gui countered, "If you're selling houses, will you only sell one?" Of course, I'll sell as many as I can.
"Simply put, it's like your real estate agent 'girlfriend,' who, while acting as your 'girlfriend,' is talking to you about marriage and getting you to buy a house, is also using the same reasons to get other men to buy houses..."
“I did the math, and in two months, she sold about fifty houses. The commission for each house ranged from 100,000 to 220,000 yuan. She earned more than a million yuan just from commissions.”
Xu Gui praised, "Actually, you have a good eye. At least your 'girlfriend' is really good at making money." She even came up with this way of selling houses.
When the man didn't speak, she continued, "To put it more clearly, you've encountered a scammer, but this scammer is special; she's only trying to trick you into buying a house."
The man refused to believe it, saying, "What you're saying is absurd..."
Xu Gui said, "If you don't believe me, you can call your girlfriend and see if you can still reach her now."
"..." The man didn't speak, but some sounds came from his microphone, as if he was making a phone call.
Everyone in the live stream was stunned by what Xu Gui said.
[Is this a way to sell a house? And it's not illegal?]
Honestly, her behavior was morally questionable, but legally speaking, it was fine. The smartest thing she did was not to let the man add her name to the property deed!
[I used to say, how could there be such a perfect woman in the world? Now I've discovered, she does exist, but she's a fraud.]
This kind of scam to sell houses has actually been going on for several years, but back then I heard about men scamming women. Now it seems the tables have turned and it's women scamming men?
[You should have been wary from the start. If a beautiful, gentle, and considerate woman says she wants to marry you and even offers to buy you a house, think about it carefully. How could there possibly be such a good thing in this world?]
So, this guy's girlfriend is fake; only the down payment and the mortgage are real?
You've hit the nail on the head.
...
The man did not hang up the live stream with Xu Gui, so everyone could clearly hear his agitated voice and the "The number you dialed is not in service" message coming from his phone.
"grass!"
The man seemed to curse angrily, followed by a series of crashing sounds, as if he had smashed something, and then a violent, angry panting sound, like that of a water buffalo.
Every breath he exhaled seemed to carry an intense anger.
Imagine if you were in that situation... well, you probably wouldn't be able to stay calm either. After all, you'd lose your wife and be burdened with years of mortgage payments. Just thinking about it makes life seem so dark.
"Master, can you help me find this woman?" the man asked through gritted teeth. "If you can help me find her, I'm willing to give you money!"
Xu Gui replied, "She has already gone abroad; you won't find her in the country."
It was obvious that the other party was planning to do this one job and run away last night. While the man felt that she was being cold to him, she was already preparing to leave the country. The reason why the man couldn't reach her by phone was because she had already left the country.
It's virtually impossible for the man to find her now.
Upon hearing this, the man felt dizzy and cried out in despair, "What am I supposed to do? I bought this house to get married! Why would I buy a house if I'm not married?"
Xu Gui said, "You really should think about what to do. It seems that the house you bought is an unfinished project."
man:? ?
Even though the other person didn't say anything, everyone seemed to clearly sense his breakdown and despair.
Comment: [Show some sympathy.]
*
After seeing off the distraught older brother, Xu Gui happily announced that he had finished his work for the morning.
The photographer was a little worried. He glanced at the program's rankings and saw that Xu Gui was currently ranked twelfth. If she wanted to successfully enter the top ten, she would need to surpass two other guests.
However, these two guests are a very popular love song prince and a popular young actress who just starred in a hit drama after the New Year. They are both very popular and make a lot of money. After all, the former has fans offering millions for a single song, and the latter has countless male fans willing to support her.
Compared to the other two, Xu Gui has nothing behind him. Although he gets a lot of viewers for his live streams every day, it's hard to convert that into "salary". So, it's really difficult for Xu Gui to surpass the other two.
The photographer glanced at Xu Gui, who had a calm expression, and thought to himself: Teacher Xu seems as calm as ever, and also exudes a strange confidence.
Did she already know that she would definitely advance?
Just then, Xu Gui's assistant, Yuan Lu, suddenly exclaimed. She looked at Xu Gui and said, "Teacher Xu, someone suddenly showered you with a lot of gifts in the live stream!"
Xu Gui paused for a moment, then picked up his phone and opened his live stream.
Sure enough, as soon as she clicked in, she saw dazzling gift effects exploding in the live stream, one after another.
Xu Gui recognized that this was a gift effect worth 10,000 yuan.
She glanced at the person who threw the gift: "...Tang Baozhu."
Xu Gui's eyes flickered slightly.
“Miss Tang,” she began, “are you here to thank me? If you are, don’t throw gifts, just transfer the money to me!”
As she spoke, she excitedly pulled out a payment QR code from her pocket and held it directly in front of the camera, the large QR code immediately catching the eye of everyone in the live stream.
Everyone: "..."
Tang Baozhu "..."
Tang Baozhu actually did it, because within minutes, Xu Gui's phone received a notification that three million had been received.
Xu Gui looked at the paparazzi and said, "Miss Tang transferred so much money to me because she was thanking me for Lin Xu's situation. I figured out Lin Xu's situation, so this should also be considered part of my earnings, right?"
Her profession is fortune telling, and this is a legitimate thank-you fee she received through fortune telling; it's money she earned.
The person filming: "...I guess so?"
Xu Gui: "Then could you please ask the director for me, brother who's filming?"
The person filming: "Okay."
Xu Gui's fans belatedly realized that if the three million yuan that Tang Baozhu transferred could be counted as money earned by Xu Gui, wouldn't she definitely be able to enter the top ten?
Xu Gui's eyes darted around, and he said, "Miss Tang, how about I tell your fortune?"
She said in a serious tone, "After all, you gave me so much money for fortune telling, three million! I will definitely do my best to tell your fortune!"
Tang Baozhu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
She thought to herself: He was clearly worried that the three million she gave wouldn't be counted as "work income" according to the program's rules, so he insisted it was a fortune-telling fee.
However, she had indeed come to thank Xu Gui, so upon hearing Xu Gui's words, Tang Baozhu readily complied and typed a question in response:
"How do you want me to calculate it?"
