Chapter 182 Which older brother gave it to me?
Ji Wanqing sighed and explained to Ye Ling in detail the whole story of being blocked by the platform, as well as the situation with the Starlight platform.
Being a girl herself, and with Ye Ling being such a cheerful person, Ji Wanqing felt much more natural interacting with her offline, and thus began to talk more.
Ye Ling listened attentively without interrupting, only her brows furrowed slightly, occasionally asking a few questions, her eyes revealing deep heartache.
After Ji Wanqing finished speaking, she gently patted the back of Ji Wanqing's hand and sighed.
"If you're short a few hundred thousand or a million, I can help you. But that damn Mr. Wang... I really can't help him. But don't worry about your mother. Even if you can't do the live stream, paying for your medical expenses will definitely be no problem."
Ji Wanqing told her these things not because she hoped someone would pay off her debts, but simply to vent her inner pressure.
But she didn't expect her to say that. She was deeply moved by the fact that someone who was not related to her had the heart to help her pay her medical expenses.
"No need, Sister Ling." Ji Wanqing looked at her with a smile. "I am really grateful for your support in my work. I will take care of the money myself. My mother's medical expenses are not a problem right now, so you don't need to worry about me."
Looking at the persistence and stubbornness in her eyes, Ye Ling felt a surge of admiration.
It was indeed the kind of character she admired. In fact, someone like her, with several powerful older brothers, could have easily made things much easier by simply showing a little bit of goodwill, but she chose not to do so.
Thinking of this, Ye Ling sighed again, holding her teacup and looking at her.
"I understand." She paused. "But I think you're in a difficult position. The longer this goes on, the deeper those people's feelings for you will become. They might not be able to tolerate others playing with you like this every day. Have you thought about your plans for the future?"
Ji Wanqing fell silent, unsure how to answer. She looked back with some distress and silently shook her head.
"From a professional standpoint, they are all like older brothers to me, people I need to maintain good relationships with at work. From a personal standpoint, I think they are all very good people who respect me a lot, so I genuinely consider them friends. To be honest, I don't know what to do..."
Ye Ling couldn't help but smile when she saw her like this.
"Let's not think about it for now. Let them fight it out. If they really like you, they won't leave you because of this. If they do leave, just assume they've gotten tired of you. That's common in live streams." She took a sip of tea and continued, "But I think you're old enough to date anyway. If you really like someone, it wouldn't hurt to date them. I remember you said you wanted to switch to behind-the-scenes work. That's why I asked you out today to talk about that."
"Hmm?" Ji Wanqing looked up. "I do have this idea, but I haven't paid off my debts yet, so I don't know when I'll be able to put this plan into practice."
"Mr. Wang didn't ask you to pay it all back at once, did he? Actually, the investment cost for starting a self-media business isn't that high these days. Didn't you say you still have savings? You can take out a small portion, and I'll contribute the majority. How about we split it evenly?" Ye Ling's offer was hard not to be tempted.
Ji Wanqing looked at her in surprise, "Sister Ling... this... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Ye Ling smiled decisively as always, "Don't be so moved. My brother is forcing me to work right now. If we were to start a guild, I wouldn't have that much time. So you'll probably have to handle the management part. Once things start to look good, I'll come out and we can go solo."
"This... your suggestion is indeed very good, but I have no experience and dare not easily ask you to invest. If we lose money... the money will be gone." Ji Wanqing was very worried.
Ye Ling waved her hand, "It's okay. For my brother and the others, my willingness to do things is more important than anything else. Losing money in business is better than giving gifts to those stinky men."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wanqing chuckled, "You really are... a person of strong emotions."
"That's right, so don't worry too much, just go for it!" Ye Ling gave her a reassuring look. "In business, no one can guarantee a sure profit. It's better if you make money, and if you lose, it's only a few million. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Encouraged by her words, Ji Wanqing hesitated for only a few seconds before nodding emphatically.
"Thank you so much for trusting me!" She knew very well that if Ye Ling wanted to invest, there were naturally safer places to go. Her decision to gamble with her was also out of a sense of care. "Then I'll go back and study it carefully. I'll show you the budget and plan later and see if there's anything that needs to be changed."
"OK!" Ye Ling gave an OK sign. At this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes, and they stopped talking about it.
Once the private room returned to silence, Ye Ling winked and teased, "Speaking of which, I see those guys are really into you. I'm curious who you like the most? Let me give you some advice."
Ji Wanqing's face flushed slightly at her words, and she retorted playfully, "Sister Ling!"
"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Ye Ling smiled and ladled a bowl of soup for her. "Anyway, don't panic, everything will get better and better. As for those men... it's only right to investigate them a little more."
The meal lasted nearly two hours, and Ji Wanqing felt as if she had been recharged. It had been a long time since she had been able to talk to someone so freely and openly.
Before leaving, Ye Ling gave her a gift and told her to open it when she got home. Then she asked the driver to take a detour to take her home first.
When she got home, Ji Wanqing took the box out of her bag and opened it; inside was a pearl necklace.
She could tell at a glance that the pearls were of exceptional quality, resembling South Sea pearls. According to Ji Wanqing's understanding, South Sea pearls of this quality would be worth at least 200,000 yuan.
She immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Ye Ling.
Sunny Tuantuan: [Sister Ling, isn't this gift a bit too expensive? I think I should return it to you, just like last time?]
The unassuming wealthy woman: "I don't think this suits my style; it suits you better. Aren't we friends? Just accept it. I'm waiting for you to make money so you can give me jewelry in return."
Seeing how the other person comforted her, Ji Wanqing couldn't help but smile.
Sunny Tuantuan: [Then I'll gladly accept your offer! I need to make money! I want to buy jewelry for Sister Ling!]
A simple and unpretentious rich woman: [My darling! I hope I can see you wearing it in the live stream. Host, dress up a little nicer, don't always be so plain.]

Sunny Tuantuan: [Okay, Sister Ling! You're so kind!]
Shortly before the broadcast started, Ji Wanqing looked around her wardrobe and picked out an elegant little black dress, which she paired with a pearl necklace—it was simply perfect.
This valuable necklace attracted the attention of fans as soon as the show started.
Wow, Qingtian's pearl necklace is so beautiful! Who gave it to you?
[This doesn't look like one of those cheap ones costing around a hundred yuan; it's really beautiful!]
Tell us quickly, which guy sent it?
