Chapter 124 What is the man surnamed Zhuang secretly doing?
Before the live stream of "Successful Journey" began, there was a warm-up segment.
The show begins with an interaction between the host and the regular guests. Only after they have finished their introductions will the guest star, Qu He, be invited to join the live stream.
This was Qu He's first time participating in this kind of online live-streaming companionship, and she had no experience.
Normally, you only need to wait for the host and guests to finish interacting before starting the live broadcast five or six minutes in advance, but she started almost half an hour early.
Qu He stared at her phone screen, watching the number of online viewers in the upper left corner increase from a few hundred to a few thousand and then to over ten thousand. Her hands were trembling.
The production team released a preview early on, and many fans were already waiting on Weibo. As soon as they saw that she had opened a Weibo account in advance, they all flocked to it.
As soon as the news of Qu He's early live stream came out, fans spread the word, and the Yan Qu CP fans came running as soon as they heard it.
Seeing the number of people constantly increasing in the upper left corner, Qu He originally planned to secretly turn off the live stream when no one was paying attention, but now she dared not do it anymore and could only silently pray that the production team would contact her soon.
Wow, they arrived half an hour early! Was my sister chatting with us beforehand because she was worried we'd be waiting?
Grandma, your favorite couple is serving food!
[My God, this woman looks absolutely stunning today! That beige dress is simply divine.]
Is it just Qu He alone? Where is my position as CEO Zhuang?
[Is Sister Qu He doing a live stream from home? Could that pendulum clock on the bookshelf in the background be the same item that fetched a record price at the Zurich auction six months ago?]
Yes! You read that right! Not just the clock, but also the calligraphy brush holder—it starts at eight figures.
Wait, what's that Lego car model? Didn't the official website say pre-orders wouldn't start until next month? Why is it here?
[Pre-sale? Ha! In the world of the rich, it's all about "I want it, I get it."]
The comments on the screen scrolled by very quickly; one second you'd just finished reading a question, and the next second it was already up there.
Qu He was surprised by everyone's enthusiasm and was a little flustered.
But since the live stream had already started, she couldn't let everyone wait here in vain, so she tried her best to answer everyone's questions, just like other live streamers on the internet.
"Yes, at home." Her voice was gentle, with a hint of nervousness and awkwardness.
She picked up her phone, turned around, and pointed to the brown pendulum clock on the second shelf of the bookshelf. "Is this what you mean?"
The barrage of comments exploded instantly:
[My God, I can't believe I've ever seen this incredibly expensive item up close in my lifetime.]
Is this what life is like for the rich?
Qu He was amused by everyone's exaggerated comments. She turned the screen to face herself and explained somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know much about these things either. This is Zhuang Bieyan's study."
Wow, Mr. Zhuang's study?
[Sister Quhe, hurry, hurry, show your electronic sisters something!]
[I second that proposal.]
Add one.
Qu He couldn't help but chuckle, looking at the screen filled with "+1" comments. "Do you all want to see this?"
I want to see it!
I'm dying to know what the private study of Zhuang Yushu, a top-tier wealthy family in Beicheng, looks like!
Looking at the screen full of requests to visit, Qu He glanced at the time; there were still about twenty minutes before the official connection.
She smiled and said, "Alright, I'll show you around then."
She flipped the screen and, like a little tour guide, led everyone on a tour of Zhuang Bieyan's study.
"Is this the brush holder you're talking about? It does feel very smooth to the touch."
Let me touch it and soak up some of that luxurious aura! Even just touching it through the screen is fine!
"A Möbius strip ornament? Let me look for it. Oh, is that it? I think he brought it back from his trip abroad last time. He said it had a good meaning."
[The Möbius strip symbolizes endless love! It's the same style as my sister's wedding ring, I'm so smitten!]
"The books on the second shelf? You guys are looking at them so closely? Hey, how did you know there were author signatures on the inside pages?"
[This is a book by Master Cen! A collector's edition!]
"This car model? I worked with him on it last week, but I only contributed one percent of it. I really don't have any talent for this."
Do you need any new model-building partners? I'm very skilled with my hands. I'm not here to break up this family, I'm here to join you.
Qu He responded to almost every request from netizens in the live chat, gradually closing the distance between herself and everyone.
After walking around, I returned to my seat.
She picked up her water glass, took a sip, and continued watching the live chat.
[A deafening roar echoes through the sky, and the old servant makes his grand entrance!]
【Sir, Madam, this old servant is your unseen servant, a servant born into the household!】
I knew Zhuang Bieyan was rich, but I never imagined he was this rich! And this is just a study! Why am I carrying such a heavy burden? It turns out someone is enjoying peace and tranquility for me.
[Godfather and Godmother! Please allow me to take care of you in your old age!]
Can I see my maid's room? Could the stone lions at the entrance be replaced with pictures of me and my best friend?
[Sister, sister, my monthly allowance is 1509 yuan. I spent 1314 yuan on you, and the remaining 188 is my height. Don't ask why 7 yuan is missing; it's because my love for you has been sentenced to life imprisonment. [Heart JPG]]
[Upstairs, you're shameless! How dare you steal someone's girlfriend right in front of President Zhuang!]
So what? Zhuang Bieyan is already thirty! I'm only twenty-three, the age when I'm at my most capable. [wink]JPG
I don't know if you're twenty-three, but I do know you'll soon be hunted down by Boss Zhuang and will only live to be twenty-three.
Qu He couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the funny comments. "It's okay, he shouldn't be able to catch you. I locked the room from the inside, and I still have the key."
As she spoke, she picked up the keys and proudly waved them in front of the camera.
Just then, a clear, crisp sound of something breaking came from outside the study door, like the sound of a glass water cup shattering.
Qu He paused for a moment, then seemed to understand something, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Her smile made her even more radiant.
I think I just heard something break. Is your sister alright?
Sister, I'm riding my shared bike right now to protect you.
Qu He read the comment and chuckled softly.
Her gaze pointed towards the study door, and her voice, though soft, was clear: "I'm fine. Someone must have accidentally broken a cup."
When she said this, she stared straight at the screen, as if she were looking at someone and speaking to them, as if she was certain that someone on the other end would hear her.
Outside the door, Zhuang Bieyan leaned against the wall, his phone screen lit up, displaying Qu He's live stream interface, while beneath his feet lay shattered glass shards and splashed water.
The viewers in the live stream seemed to have their own microscopes; they immediately understood what she meant after hearing her words.
[Someone's there? Who is it? I'm guessing it might be a man surnamed Zhuang?]
Could it be that this man was secretly watching the live stream too? And then, seeing someone confessing their love to Sister Qu He, and seeing the screen full of wives (his wife), he got jealous and smashed the cup in anger?
[Upstairs, how dare you! How can you talk like that! Mr. Zhuang just accidentally dropped it! Next time, make sure you hold the cup tightly (just kidding).]
