Chapter 18 Refund the Order
Ji Wanqing's voice on the screen was clear and bright. She was occasionally amused by the comments in the live stream. Her smiling face was almost identical to the one he remembered.
She seemed well-adapted and possessed a resilience he had never seen before—a tenacity born from striving for a better life.
But this image was like a thorn, piercing directly into Zhou Xubai's heart.
He thought Ji Wanqing would at least find protection from a relative or family friend, or at the very least find a simple and easy job. He never expected that she would put herself in the chaotic world of the internet.
He never saw Ji Wanqing again after graduating from university; they were from two different worlds.
Three months ago, when news of the Ji family's bankruptcy came, he tried to contact her, but she had changed her phone number, and there was no news about her in the industry anymore.
"Mr. Zhou, look at the data for these streamers..."
The assistant walked in with a tablet, interrupting Zhou Xubai's thoughts.
He glanced at them a few times and chose the ID "Lele".
The games Lele usually streams are of the same type as his current project, so his fans are similar.
Another reason is that her fees as a mid-tier streamer wouldn't be too high, and this was his first time using a game streamer for promotion, so he wanted to see how effective it would be.
After quickly selecting his items, he went directly to Ji Wanqing's profile and placed one hundred orders.
[Order placed, will the streamer accept?]
As soon as Ji Wanqing opened the order receiving backend, a hundred orders popped up, totaling five thousand yuan!
"Wow, 100 orders! Thank you, boss! You're so generous! You've gone to so much trouble. Send me your ID and I'll add you."
[One hundred orders, the boss is confused (but please stay confused hhhhhh)]
[The wealthy lady wasn't here today, but a generous boss showed up instead.]
Is the boss truly devoted or just incredibly wealthy?
Ji Wanqing: "But I'm afraid we can't finish these 100 orders today. Should we adjust the order volume?"
Blank: [It's okay.]
Two simple words, yet full of grandeur.
Ji Wanqing had no reason to hesitate anymore. Boiling Point platform was full of rich people, and they probably didn't care about the money.
She decisively accepted, "Boss, you're so generous! Send me your ID."
Zhou Xubai thought of the days he used to play games with her, and decided to register a new account.
Ji Wanqing was puzzled when she didn't see her boss speak for a while. "Is the boss still there? Did you send me a message that I didn't see? Why don't you just send me a private message?"
Zhou Xubai, who was called out, stopped registering and responded to her immediately.
[Wait a moment, I'm registering an account.]
[A new boss? One hundred orders right off the bat, definitely a true fan.]
[A wild guess: a game played on sunny days!]
Will Qingtian feel pressured this time?
[Blank Guy: Money ready, game not downloaded yet? How audacious!]
Ji Wanqing smiled, "It's okay, boss. Take your time, I'll wait for you." She paused and then replied to the live stream, "Hello new boss, I'll teach you until you learn, and guarantee a great gaming experience."
He chatted with the audience for another two minutes.
Blank: [Alright, Yongzhou, you can pull now.]
Ji Wanqing pulled him into the team, "Which map does the boss want to play?"
"Either is fine, choose whichever you want to play." He remembered that she liked aggressive, high-intensity gameplay.
That voice sounds so familiar! It's exactly the same as that damned Zhou Xubai!
But what a coincidence! Zhou Xubai is such an ambitious person, why would he come here during work hours to play games with someone?
She quickly composed herself and replied, "Okay, then I'll arrange it randomly."
"Um."
His reply was simple, much like Zhou Xubai's wooden head.
Ji Wanqing gently shook her head, trying to clear those scattered memories from her mind.
Once inside the game, Ji Wanqing remained as dedicated as ever, proactively asking the boss where she wanted to jump.
"Either is fine, whatever you say." His answer was the same as his choice of which picture to pick.
Ji Wanqing couldn't help but chuckle, "Is the boss a newbie?"
Zhou Xubai, who had just registered an account, hadn't noticed the discussion about him in the live stream. Hearing this answer, he paused for a moment, and then gave a vague reply.
"Uh-huh."
This boss seems a bit slow-witted.
[Hey, whatever, haha, he's all about the Buddhist approach.]
The boss seems a bit aloof, but why is he inexplicably doting on me?
The boss has a great voice, a deep, resonant voice (drooling)
Ji Wanqing suppressed a laugh as she looked at the comments. She marked a relatively obscure point, and since he was a beginner, she should teach him the basic operations first.
She began to patiently explain the most basic operations to Zhou Xubai. He was also very quick to learn and only needed to be told once to understand.
"Boss, you have a great talent! You learn so quickly!" Ji Wanqing couldn't help but praise.
"I knew a little about it before." He paused. "You work as a gaming companion... how is it? Is it hard work?"
Chatting with the boss is also part of the job of a companion, Ji Wanqing answered without thinking.
"No job is easy, and if you encounter a boss with a bad temper..." Thinking of that super sweet guy, Ji Wanqing couldn't help but shake her head, "It's quite a headache."
Her tone shifted, and she regained her cheerfulness.
"But being able to earn money on my own, do what I love, and meet so many interesting friends and kind people like you, Boss, makes me very happy and gives me a great sense of accomplishment! There's nothing wrong with that!"
"As long as you're happy." His voice was calm, but there was always an indescribable emotion in it.
The boss seems to be a bot.
[Who said that? I think it sounds like a gratified old father.]
[Who understands? The boss is so kind!]
[The boss definitely has a story! His voice even sounded heartbroken!]
Don't bark: [Hey, good morning, you've already got an order.]
Meng Chao, who had tossed and turned until four o'clock last night before finally falling asleep, felt inexplicably unhappy when he saw her chatting about life with another man as soon as he arrived.
"Good morning, don't bark..."
Before Ji Wanqing could finish speaking, the special effects in the live stream exploded one after another.
[Don't bark, get 10 sports cars as a gift] (Boiling Point Coins: 2880)
[Don't bark, get 10 free airplanes] (8880 Boiling Point Coins)
[Don't Bark, Get 10 Rockets] (10,000 Boiling Point Coins)
[Don't bark, get 10 aircraft carriers as a gift] (28,880 Boiling Point Coins)
[Don't Bark - 10 Champion Trophies Given Away] (52,000 Boiling Point Coins)
Gifts worth over 100,000 yuan were thrown at them without them even blinking.
Although Biefei has given many large gifts, they were all given in small amounts. This is the first time they have given so many gifts in one go.
[Don't bark, is the boss crazy? He just threw in 100,000!]
[Hilarious! Is this a declaration of sovereignty?]
[Let's fight! Let's fight! (Put up a stool)]
[Sunny was stunned, hahaha, I took a screenshot, this is definitely going to be a meme!]
Ji Wanqing was truly stunned, speechless at the barrage of gifts.
"Don't bark, brother? What... what are you doing? This is too much of a waste... stop it now."
She was somewhat touched, but more than that, she felt he had acted too impulsively.
Zhou Xubai wasn't watching the live stream, but he naturally heard Ji Wanqing's exclamation and stuttering. He stopped what he was doing and his voice was serious.
"Is there trouble?"
"No...it's not a problem..." She was just a little embarrassed.
Stop barking. [Cancel the order and play with me.]
【I'm going to snatch them away with swagger!】
[Fire directly?]
This is so exciting! Where's Kiyono? I'll champion Kiyono!
[Don't bark, Big Brother's possessiveness is so strong, so cool! But I feel a little sorry for Blank Boss...]
[A chaotic scene confirmed! Blank Brother, retaliate quickly!]
What should I do about my sunny-day wife? She's caught between two powerful men!
Who can care about whether we, Qingtian, live or die?
