After chatting for a while, the dishes were served. It was a Sichuan restaurant. Li Yun was born in Hubei, and perhaps it was this regional influence that made him so fond of Sichuan cuisine. Sure enough, the table was filled with all kinds of Sichuan dishes: fragrant pickled fish, spicy and delicious diced chicken, and twice-cooked pork that was fatty but not greasy... The dazzling array of dishes made one's mouth water.
After all the dishes were served, Li Yun smiled, picked up his wine glass, looked around, and slowly said, "Come on, everyone! Let's raise our glasses and drink to that! After all, the future is long and uncertain, and we don't know when we'll be able to meet again. Here, I wish everyone a bright future, abundant wealth, and great fortune!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present responded enthusiastically, raising their glasses in a toast. The banquet then became lively, with people toasting each other in a cheerful and boisterous atmosphere. However, since Li Yun was about to leave, everyone seemed eager to take this opportunity to drink with him, and thus urged him to drink more.
Li Yun's alcohol tolerance was originally quite good, but faced with such an enthusiastic crowd, he soon found himself unable to keep up. He could only wave his hands repeatedly and say, "Alright, alright, everyone, stop trying to get me drunk! Come on, let's all drink together! I have to catch my train tomorrow, and it would be a problem if I'm late."
Seeing that they could no longer persuade Li Yun to drink more, the group turned their attention to Wang Hu. Unexpectedly, Wang Hu was in excellent spirits at the moment, accepting every glass of wine offered by the others.
Before long, the men who had been drinking with him were all completely drunk and staggering. The dinner party finally ended only after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
As the group staggered out of the restaurant, some of them, who had just drunk a bit too much, walked with an unexpectedly steady, even measured, gait. Seeing this, Wang Hu couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hey, these guys, they really are acting masters!"
Wang Hu bid farewell to everyone. Chen Linlin and the two sisters said something to each other, but Wang Hu felt that the way they were looking at him was strange.
Wang Hu held Sun Honglei's hand tightly, while Chen Linlin followed obediently behind them. The three of them walked slowly towards the internet cafe run by Zhang Feng. Along the way, Wang Hu kept muttering, "I have something serious to discuss with you this time. Let's find a suitable place to sit down and talk slowly."
A short while later, they arrived at the internet cafe entrance. Wang Hu walked in familiarly and quickly set up three adjacent computer seats. After everyone was seated, Wang Hu eagerly opened a popular game—Pyramid in Biohazard mode—and excitedly called Sun Honglei and Chen Linlin to join the battle.
After three games, time slipped by unnoticed, but Sun Honglei, engrossed in the game, didn't realize it at all. However, just as the fourth game was about to begin, Sun Honglei finally couldn't suppress his doubts and turned to Wang Hu, asking, "Hey bro, you kept saying you had something important to discuss with me, you didn't just ask me to come over and play games with you, did you?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's lips curled into a mysterious smile. While operating the mouse, he replied unhurriedly, "Hey, who says this isn't important? Go open YY (a Chinese live streaming platform) and see what's happening on the screen. I'm planning to have you do live streaming, specifically this kind of game! I'll search online for some funny lines and send them to you later. From now on, all you have to do is entertain the viewers in the live stream. If things continue like this, it won't be long before you become a hugely popular internet celebrity!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Honglei opened the YY app with some skepticism and stared at the screen for a while. Then, he frowned and said with a puzzled look, "But those other streamers are either pretty young ladies dancing and singing with their hips swaying, or they're telling jokes and performing talents. How can a grown man like me stream a game? Who would watch?"
Faced with Sun Honglei's doubts, Wang Hu confidently patted his chest and explained with self-assurance, "Hey, don't worry about that! Look, there are hardly any people streaming games right now, so this is your chance! Just think, if you become the first to try it, won't your popularity skyrocket? Besides, I'll also personally pay for some traffic promotion for you, guaranteeing your live stream will be a huge hit, it'll be hard not to become popular!"
Hearing Wang Hu's words, Sun Honglei was touched, but also a little confused. He frowned, stared directly at Wang Hu, and asked, "Hey brother, what's the matter with all this buying me data and all this fuss? I need to explain myself!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu muttered to himself: "Hey, this guy is really sensitive. It seems he hasn't experienced the ups and downs of his past life."
However, I couldn't very well tell him directly that he had done me a huge favor in my past life! So, Wang Hu scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Haha, bro, what could I possibly want from you? It's just that you're my good brother! Besides, with your build, you'd probably be worth very little if you were sold separately. Now that I'm successful, how could I just stand by and watch my brother suffer? If you ever really struggle in the future, we can always open an online store together!"
After hearing this, Sun Honglei lowered his head and pondered for a moment, thinking to himself: "That's true, with all this flesh on my body, I'm really not worth much. Wang Hu's online store can get over four thousand orders a day. Even if he only makes fifty yuan per order, that's two hundred thousand yuan a day! My brother's made a fortune and he's willing to lend me a hand. If I'm suspicious and paranoid, wouldn't that be too damaging to our brotherhood?"
After thinking it through, Sun Honglei raised his head, a simple and honest smile on his face, and said, "Hehe, brother, I was overthinking things, sorry! Since you sincerely want to help me, then I'll thank you in advance! If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know!"
Seeing that he agreed, Wang Hu said to him, "You should resign tomorrow. I'll take my driver's license test tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I'll take you to buy a computer. We need a good computer for live streaming, so we'll go to the computer mall together."
The three of them played games for a while longer, and then said goodbye to each other.
After Sun Honglei left, Chen Linlin said to him mysteriously, "It seems like the two sisters have taken a liking to you?"
Wang Hu was stunned when he heard this and said to Chen Linlin, "How is that possible? If you're talking about her younger sister, maybe she doesn't have a boyfriend. But when her older sister was pursuing Li Yun, she didn't dare to say a word to any other guy."
