Chapter 176 Love
Most people online don't believe that An Jin's return to broadcasting will restore the previous level of popularity.
The reason why paid live streaming has never taken off in China is because viewers of live streams all share the same simple idea.
If you don't broadcast it, plenty of others will.
I'm fine with free company, but I won't pay for it.
Social consensus will not change because of an individual's will.
An Jin decided to start a paid live stream because she was concerned about the remaining online criticism against her.
An Jin isn't afraid of being criticized, but she can't help but think about her fans.
Feelings can be worn down.
Fans' attention is consumed by anti-fans, making it very easy for them to unfollow.
An Jin needed to stabilize her core fanbase, so she chose to abandon freeloaders and focus on maintaining fans who were willing to spend money on her.
A membership fee of around a hundred yuan is neither a lot nor a little; it's just right to serve as a threshold.
"The insults in the fan group are quite intense."
As soon as the news of the paid live stream came out, fans began leaving An Jin's fan group one after another.
They are all fans who have been supporting the streamer for free, without spending any coins. They maintain their fan status by grabbing red envelopes and lucky bags in An Jin's live stream.
Should we try to appease them?
Yan Qing looked at the notification sounds on her phone indicating she had left the group chat and asked An Jin for her opinion.
"No need. I've disliked them for a long time. It's better if they back down."
An Jin looked at the fans who had left the group and said indifferently, "These people are not my target users. It's good that they left."
An Jin became a live streamer to earn money, not to do charity.
"I'm already in such a miserable state, and they won't even give me a membership. What's the point of keeping them around?"
An Jin, wrapped in the blanket, yawned and started talking to Yan Qing about other things.
"If you come with me, what will happen to your hostel?"
Yan Qing's hostel is a real problem. He has to spend time checking on it almost every day. If he goes with An Jin, his hostel will be left unattended.
Yan Qing already had a plan: "I've talked to Yuanyuan about this. Her parents don't have stable jobs. After I leave, I'll hire them both to be my shop cleaners. They can also let me know if anything happens."
The hostel had long been on the right track. The reason Yan Qing used to go to the hostel every day was because most of the people staying there were young men. Sometimes, when conflicts arose between guests, the front desk and cleaning staff couldn't handle it, so he, as the manager, had to step in personally.
Now that he's leaving, he naturally needs to find two trustworthy people to help him watch the shop.
Zhang Yuanyuan's family is not well-off, so she wants to go with An Jin. Her parents can't go, so she's an excellent choice to watch the shop.
An Jin hadn't expected Zhang Yuanyuan's family to be so poor.
"Don't Yuanyuan's parents even have stable jobs?"
Yan Qing nodded: "As far as I know, Yuanyuan's parents used to work on construction sites and she worked as a part-time cleaner."
An Jin sighed softly, "Fortunately, Yuan Yuan is getting better now."
Yan Qing said, "Yes, it's good that you're here."
He helped Zhang Yuanyuan out.
An Jin closed her eyes and rested her head on Yan Qing's chest, listening to his heartbeat.
After finishing the topic of Zhang Yuanyuan, An Jin brought up Pei Ning: "From now on, you will be living with Yuanyuan and Pei Ning, and I'm a little worried."
"don’t worry."
Yan Qing's muffled voice rang out above An Jin's head.
"Trust me, everything will be alright."
He didn't want to talk about the future, but since An Jin had brought it up, he went along with the topic and continued talking.
"Is Chen Su... good to you?"
An Jin said with a bored expression, "It's alright, they've been pretty good to me. I can spend money as I please, and stay in a big villa whenever I want..."
Yan Qing understood the meaning behind An Jin's words.
He doesn't love you.
An Jin chuckled softly: "Idiot."
She scolded Yan Qing: "There's no such thing as love in this world. He's so successful, how could he possibly love me?"
I spend most of my time on company matters, and the rest of my time is for rest, sleep, and family.
How can someone who barely has any free time possibly have love in their heart?
Yan Qing hugged An Jin's shoulders tightly and said in a dejected tone, "I would rather he loved you."
In this way, Chen Su's love would become An Jin's protective shield, and he wouldn't be so worried.
An Jin turned her head and placed a kiss on Yan Qing's chest.
"It's okay, Qingqing. Even without Chen Su's love, I still have your love."
She forcefully sucked marks into Yan Qing's chest: "To gain something, you are destined to lose something else."
"If I want to jump far, I definitely need to squat down before jumping."
Yan Qing sighed: "I'm just worried that when your one-year term is up, you won't be able to leave unscathed."
An Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, my poor little thing, I won't fall in love with anyone easily."
"Qingqing, have you heard this saying before?"
Yan Qing asked, "What did you say?"
An Jin said, "The most terrifying woman is one who has no heart."
Yan Qing smiled gently, stroked An Jin's hair, and said softly, "Go to sleep, heartless woman. You have a live broadcast tomorrow afternoon."
An Jin threw off the covers: "I'm not going to sleep. It's so late. I was in a good mood, but you've annoyed me."
Yan Qing watched as An Jin undressed herself at lightning speed, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
"Let's do it!"
After saying this, An Jin rushed towards Yan Qing.

At the same time.
Jiang Jinhan, who was in a foreign country, had just finished her training for the day.
He returned to the hotel and used the hotel's poor internet connection to access domestic social media platforms.
"Brother Wang, An'an is going to do a live stream tomorrow!"
Jiang Jinhan's teammate, who lived with him, had a slightly faster internet speed.
"We're off tomorrow, do you want to watch An'an's live stream?"
Jiang Jinhan gave a cold "hmm," and only when An Jin's reply appeared in the chat window did his cold expression soften.
"You don't need to call me when you go out to play tomorrow."
His teammate said, "Okay, I knew you weren't going out tomorrow as soon as I saw the message."
A teammate, exhausted from a long day, yawned and reminded Jiang Jinhan before entering the bathroom.
"Brother Wang, to put it bluntly, a woman like An'an is not someone like us gamers should get involved with."
Jiang Jinhan knew he had no bad intentions.
But he couldn't control his feelings about liking something.
