27: First Pot of Gold - 2

Jiang Ye was so excited that his eyes turned slightly red.

He took several deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down, and withdrew all ten thousand yuan from his system account.

The balance in his WeChat wallet instantly changed to: 10,760.35 yuan.

The first thing Jiang Ye did was open his chat with Fang Wei and transfer 501 over, with a note: 'The extra is for you to go find a hooker.'

Fang Wei accepted it instantly and then replied with a middle finger emoji.

He chuckled and continued to open Meituan, finding the "Jiao Ai Boiled Fish" he had been craving for a long time. He paid for the 140-yuan set meal without hesitation!

Celebrate! He had to celebrate!

Let this unlucky fish witness the beginning of my happy life!

After the order was successful, Jiang Ye hummed a little tune and started picking out milk tea and dessert for after the meal.

Looking at the prices that were easily thirty or forty yuan, he felt the whole world becoming bright... Meanwhile, in Wanda Apartment 1705, Su Ning was completely dazed.

She stared at her phone screen, her mind racing frantically.

Why hasn't the other side replied?

Did my proactive gift-giving take effect?

But he clearly sent me a douyin number one, which is also a thousand yuan. What's the point of him doing this? Just to mess with me?

Or is he going to pull some 'minor refund' stunt later? To embezzle my gift money along with this 1,000 yuan?

Su Ning sat on the bed with a scowl, staring intently at the phone in front of her. After hesitating for a long time, she sent a period over:

【.】

The message was sent successfully—she wasn't blocked.

She breathed a small sigh of relief. Just as she was wondering whether to send something else to test the waters, the phone vibrated.

Brother Ye: 【Babe, I'm grabbing a bite to eat. I'll go to your channel at midnight and help you pass the assessment before I go to sleep. Otherwise, if my babe's business isn't settled, I won't be able to sleep soundly.】

Seeing this message, Su Ning let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Although she still found the way the other person spoke baffling, and she didn't know where this sudden enthusiasm came from, at the very least, she should pass the assessment, right?

She climbed out of bed, sat back down at the computer, and returned to the livestream room.

Only Zhi Xia and Minnie were on the mic now; Xiao Meng had already gone offline.

Zhi Xia saw the mic circle on her avatar move and asked with a smile, "Yao Yao is back?"

"Mm-hmm, just finished washing up."

Su Ning's voice returned to the sweet tone she used for streaming: "Brother Ye said he'll come over at midnight and help me finish my task directly."

"Not bad, Yao Yao. This Brother Ye seems quite generous."

Minnie smiled suggestively: "I'll teach you a few tricks later so you can wrap him around your finger."

"OK OK~!"

Su Ning replied with a smile, but she still felt weird in her heart.

That Brother Ye's change in attitude was too abrupt, giving her a sense of unreality.

But regardless, passing the assessment was a good thing, and even after deducting that 1,000, there was still a profit to be made.

She subconsciously checked her WeChat balance—there was less than 500 yuan left.

She had to pay rent next month, and several credit cards needed their minimum payments... "Sigh." Su Ning sighed softly... It was exactly midnight.

Jiang Ye pushed away the burger and roasted wings in front of him and let out a satisfied burp.

What? You're asking about the boiled fish?

Damn, that crappy shop was actually closed.

The key thing was, it wouldn't have been so bad if they were just closed, but they actually supported pre-orders.

Jiang Ye hadn't noticed. He sat at home waiting for ages before realizing that delivery would only start at nine the next morning.

In the end, he had to order KFC delivery.

He checked the time, picked up his phone, and clicked directly into the 「Wen Yus Girlfriend」 livestream room.

Only Zhi Xia, Minnie, and Yao Yao were on the mic. Xiao Meng was gone, and the other mic slots were empty, with no avatars registered.

Seeing him enter, Zhi Xia greeted him with a smile: "Brother Ye, you're finally here. Yao Yao has been waiting for you here with great anticipation for a long time. We usually close the channel at 12:00, but today we're working overtime especially for you."

Brother Ye's bullet chat floated across dominantly:

【Almost ready! I'm going to finish a task for Yao Yao! My babe must be the first to complete the assessment!】

Minnie immediately made a "tsk" sound and teased: "Oh my, these newlyweds are so passionate, not wasting a single second. Brother Ye, how is our Yao Yao's voice? Are you satisfied?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ye was momentarily stunned.

Eh? What does that mean? Satisfied with what?

He frowned, vaguely sensing there was more to those words, but in his great mood, he didn't bother to overthink it and just typed:

【Yao Yao, are you ready? Screen recording.】

Yao Yao on the mic kept Brother Ye's previous instruction to "keep the mic off and love silently" firmly in mind and hadn't dared to make a sound.

Seeing Jiang Ye ask proactively, she hurriedly turned on her mic: "Mm-hmm, okay Brother Ye, I've had the screen recording on the whole time."

As soon as she finished speaking, various special effects began to flash continuously on the screen—

The 2800 sound waves "Twilight Sea of Flowers," the 1999 sound waves "Twilight Lovers," the 1699 sound waves "Starlight Camp," the 888 sound waves "Twilight Pearl"... All sorts of gift effects bombarded the screen in turns, lighting it up in a kaleidoscope of colors.

"Wow! Brother Ye is so generous!"

"Thank you, Brother Ye!"

"Yao Yao is so lucky!"

Zhi Xia and Minnie chimed in with bursts of exclamation.

Yao Yao watched the soaring score and the brilliant effects, and her heart finally felt at ease: "Thank you, Brother Ye! Brother Ye, you're the best!"

Looking at these somewhat familiar gifts, Zhi Xia quickly realized: "Eh? Yao Yao, Brother Ye is completing the 'Newcomer Gallery' for you! Now it's all complete!"

Minnie also cheered from the side: "Yao Yao, not bad! Your account's Newcomer Gallery was always a little bit short every time before, but this time it's finally all lit up!"

Jiang Ye pressed the gallery in Yao Yao's avatar and lit up all 19 gifts, spending less than 1,500 yuan in total.

Listening to the Girls' cheers and flattery—some real, some fake—through his headphones, a thrill of "spending money like water" welled up within him.

So this is what it feels like to be a big boss... It really is quite refreshing!

Brother Ye: 【Gallery is finished. That should be about enough, right?】

Minnie did a rough calculation: "Brother Ye, it's not enough. You still need to give Yao Yao a Sports Car. Otherwise, with what's missing, your Yao Yao will have to go beg other men. I don't know if you'd mind~"

Her words were half-joking and half-testing, wanting to help Yao Yao see if this "Brother Ye" was very possessive.

However, Jiang Ye on this side of the screen curled his lip.

Mind?

He didn't give a damn.

It wasn't like he didn't know what her offline job was.

But then again, this Yao Yao was actually quite perceptive; maybe they would have a long-term cooperation in the future.

In a few days, maybe he could hint to her to stop the offline work. Otherwise, it really did feel a bit weird and a bit disgusting.

Jiang Ye stroked his chin, calculated roughly how much money Yao Yao would get, and casually sent another douyin number one.

The brilliant rocket soared into the sky again!

Brother Ye: 【Minnie, is it enough for Yao Yao this time?】

Minnie blurted out an immediate "Holy crap": "Brother Ye is so generous! Awesome!"

Zhi Xia was also a bit shocked. What did these two do over video?

Was this some benefit she sent, or did they just do something big?

First a radish, then a Newcomer Gallery, and now another one. It added up to 3,500 already.

She joked with a smile: "Not enough, not enough. Yao Yao's task is actually 3,000. Brother Ye, it's still five or six hundred short~"

Yao Yao had also completely relaxed, knowing that this time she had truly established herself in the channel, and she quickly spoke up to defend him:

"Brother Ye, it's enough, it's enough! It exceeded it long ago! Don't listen to their nonsense, they just want to trick you out of your money!"

Zhi Xia and Minnie immediately began to tease:

"Yo yo yo? Already starting to feel bad for Big Brother's wallet?"

"Yao Yao, you haven't even married into the family yet, and you're already starting to manage the accounts?"

Su Ning snorted and countered: "Of course! He's my own Big Brother. If I don't care about him, who will?"
