Chapter 154 Squandering
After dancing a girl group dance, Xia Mian had lost all her strength.
He first squatted on the ground, covered his face, and after a while, returned to the camera: "Those who just recorded the screen are not allowed to go out; just watch it yourself."
Audience: [Nothing posted, just sharing something casually to record life, hehe]
Xia Mian looked helpless: "I really can't do anything with you guys. Were you satisfied with the dance just now? Don't make me dance like a girl group again."
Audience: [I love it, I love it so much! But whether we're satisfied or not is irrelevant; it depends on whether the person who ordered the food enjoys it.]
The person taking orders... Xia Mian's scalp tingled, and she could only force a smile and ask, "Boss Z, is this alright?"
Xia Mian thought to himself, if the other party said no, he would run to the kitchen before the divorce and eat all the delicacies until Zhou Pingchuan felt sorry for him!
System: [Z gifted streamer Xia Mian 100 romantic fireworks]
Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Pingchuan seemed quite satisfied.
However, he doesn't plan to dance now. The damage he suffered in just one minute will take a lifetime to heal.
He sat cross-legged in front of the camera, his face still warm from what had just happened, beads of sweat clinging to the tip of his nose and the ends of his hair. "I'm a little tired, I'll rest for a bit. What other programs would you like to see?"
Of course, the fans wouldn't ask him to keep dancing; Xia Mian is so thin, they felt really sorry for him.
Okay, okay, let's not jump around anymore, baby. We can chat.
How about the "What's in My Bag" videos? I've become addicted to watching them lately.
[Or an unboxing video would be fine too. I think Mianmian's outfits are both stylish and practical, and she has great taste in shopping.]
Speaking of which, I just remembered that Mianmian has never filmed a room tour for us.
[How about a room tour livestream with Chairman Shen? Hahaha]
Xu Ning once suggested that he shoot a room tour, which would definitely attract a lot of attention.
He actually wanted to share this with his fans, but he got so busy that he forgot. Now that he finally has the chance to film, he's facing divorce and has to move out of these two houses that are perfect in every way.
Let's not film it, so as to avoid being criticized later.
"Let's open the packages we've received recently, shall we? We haven't been home for so long, there must be a lot of packages accumulated. Let's take a look together."
Xia Mian has never done a shopping review before. Of course, the fans are willing to get closer to their idol and are typing away.
After receiving a positive answer, Xia Mian found a selfie stick, clipped her live-streaming phone onto it, and went to find the housekeeper—he didn't know where the packages were kept at home.
The butler said, "They're over there; I'll take you there."
[Next to it? Did Mianmian specifically set up a cabinet to store the packages?]
[Given the speed at which Mianmian buys from "Little Days," it's probably not a closet, but a warehouse.]
The audience speculated about what was next to them, chatting as they followed the camera out the door with Xia Mian's butler.
Immediately stunned: "Frog Fun, does the streamer live in a palace?! It's so beautiful!"
Xia Mian doesn't shy away from the media when he comes and goes, and many media outlets already know where he lives. So when they take pictures, they don't bother to find the right angle. Anyway, Longxi has excellent security measures, so paparazzi can't get in.
He didn't modestly say that his residence was very ordinary, but simply said, "Does it resemble a palace? Actually, I prefer simple designs. Overly elaborate architecture makes me feel cold, while simplicity has more of a human touch."
The audience was about to say, "Yes, yes, there's no place like home," but then the camera panned to them and they found the butler leading Xia Mian across an arched bridge.
At the other end of the arched bridge was another villa with a similar appearance. The butler opened the door with a digital key, and the servants inside stopped what they were doing and greeted Xia Mian and the butler: "Mr. Xia, butler, good afternoon."
Audience: [So... when the butler said "next to," he meant the villa next door?]
[Am I seeing things? Last year when I was setting up a family trust, I went to a wealthy man's house to discuss some matters. The neighborhood he lived in was exactly the same as this one, what was it called again... oh right, Dragon Seal No. 1.]
I know about Longxi No. 1! It's the most expensive house in Beijing besides traditional courtyard houses, a top-tier affluent area.
So, Mr. Zhou bought two villas in a top-tier affluent area?
Then came the most explosive part.
Everyone noticed that there were no snacks like fruits on the table in this villa, no latest magazines on the magazine rack, and the water bar was fully equipped with a water purifier, juicer, coffee machine, etc., but there were no cups on the cup rack!
Apart from the basement storage room that the housekeeper took Xia Mian to, the huge house showed no signs of the owner's life!
In other words... I bought this place purely to store things!
Many servants were hired for this purpose.
Good heavens! Do rich people live such extravagant lives?
The audience was truly shocked, and like sharing the Summer Sleep girl group dance, they posted screenshots of the clip online.
Xia Mian ignored them; he hadn't opened a package in a long time and was really looking forward to it.
The housekeeper unlocked the door and saw what was inside. Xia Mian suddenly covered her head, her anticipation turning into helplessness: "Um... it seems like we can't share everything today. Let's pick and choose what to look at."
After speaking, he switched the camera to a rear view. In the storage room, which was about forty meters long, there were several rows of large shelves, densely packed with express delivery boxes and shopping bags.
Some express delivery boxes were too big to fit on the shelves and were piled up against the wall.
"I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a chance to go home, and I didn't even realize how much had piled up," Xia Mian quickly made an excuse, afraid that the audience would think she was lazy. "Which one should I start watching first..."
There was no need to unpack the shopping bags. Xia Mian grabbed a few and frowned, "These should have been delivered to me by the store. Let me see... Autumn clothes... I probably bought them when I first moved to Longxi. I've forgotten about them."
Audience: [Hey bro, do you want to look at the huge camellia label on the bag? This pile probably has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stuff. You just forgot about it like that?]
Xia Mian: "I never spend money recklessly. The store must have sent it directly to the storage room, and I just forgot because I didn't see it."
Okay.
The audience reluctantly accepted this explanation—aside from personally receiving Xia Mian and meticulously preparing each package of sales staff.
Xia Mian brought over a large box that was taller than a person. The butler helped him unpack it, and Xia Mian frowned again: "Huh, mannequin and sample garment... which workshop sent these? Have I tried on the sample?"
He looked at the butler, who, unaware of the situation, forced a smile and tried to smooth things over: "The package has the contact number for the haute couture workshop. I'll call and ask tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask. They didn't send me an email before mailing it, so I had no idea."
Audience: [Fine, fine, you're always right, you're just being wasteful!]
Xia Mian placed the mannequin in the corner, afraid of making another mistake, and strained her eyes to look around until she finally found something she recognized.
It was a painting. Xia Mian carefully opened the special transport box with very gentle movements: "I finally got to see the real 'A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains' up close today, after all the hard work of getting a photo of it."
He looked up and asked the butler, "When did you arrive?"
"Let me check... The caravan arrived about two months ago."
It arrived last month, and I'm only just now remembering to unpack it. It shows a bit of thriftiness, but not much.
The audience was dumbfounded—it's normal for the wealthy to live extravagantly, but they had never seen someone spend money like a money-shredding machine before.
I don't know what Jay Chou is thinking. He seems very mature and steady. Would he like a spendthrift like this? Have the two of them ever argued about these things?
The audience secretly speculated, when suddenly, a screen full of fireworks burst forth:
Z gifted streamer Xia Mian 888 romantic fireworks.
