51: New tactics - 3

Meanwhile, in the "Wen Yu's Girlfriend" livestream room, after Jiang Ye left, the atmosphere completely exploded.

Yao Yao and Zhi Xia both muted their mics at the same time, leaving only July on the mic, somewhat dazedly playing background music while watching the barrage on the public screen where tourists were frantically spamming "Holy shit," "Amazing," and "Is this real?" because of Brother Ye's "hundred thousand Long Yuan."

Soon, not only the livestream room, but even the "Wen Yu's Girlfriend" anchor WeChat group completely boiled over.

The source was a message Jia Jia sent in the group:

Jia Jia: [@Yao Yao @Yao Yao @Yao Yao Sister Yao Yao! My brother was just lurking in the room and said Brother Ye is going to give you a million Yin Lang in a few days?! Is this real?!]

Immediately after, the entire group completely erupted:

Minnie: [Holy shit?! How much?! A million Yin Lang?! A hundred thousand yuan?! Are we worthy?! Is our room worthy?!]

Zhi Xia: [(Picking nose) You're not worthy! But our Yao Yao is!]

Minnie: [No, this is just too outrageous, right? Yao Yao, how exactly are you maintaining this? I was just lecturing you yesterday, and now I'm the clown myself?]

Sweet Girl: [So, this is the difference between 'blabbing' and 'slapping' (dog head)]

Minnie: [@Sweet Girl Get out, get out! I'll report you for making dirty jokes!]

Du Du: [@Yao Yao Sister, you're just too amazing?! Oh my god! A hundred thousand yuan! I wouldn't even dare dream of it!]

Jia Jia: [Yeah, Sister Yao Yao, you're just too awesome!]

Su Ning, sitting cross-legged on her chair, looked at the long string of @s and various envious, jealous, and hateful comments in the WeChat group, her vanity greatly satisfied, a smug smile curling at the corner of her mouth as she typed a response:

Yao Yao: [Oh, it's nothing, nothing~ (shy) As long as you treat your brother with sincerity and accompany him genuinely, everyone can do it~]

Minnie: [(Vomit) (Vomit) (Vomit) Humblebragging is no fun, you know! Damn Yao Yao!]

Sweet Girl: [Yao Yao, be honest, have you already met up with your brother-in-law offline and had some deep, thorough exchanges? (wicked smile)]

Yao Yao: [Meet up? If we really met, with my looks and charm, wouldn't it start at ten million Yin Lang? (tsundere)]

Sweet Girl: [(Spitting blood) Watching you show off and not being able to refute it, so frustrating!]

Minnie: [(Spitting blood) Frustrated +1]

Xiao Meng: [@Yao Yao Sister Yao Yao, can you talk about how you chat with Brother Ye and how you maintain it?]

July: [Yeah, sister! Share some tips! Let us learn too!]

Su Ning, who had been feeling smug, saw Xiao Meng and July's messages, her eyelids twitching instantly, her good mood vanishing almost entirely as she pouted.

She switched back to her private chat with Brother Ye, frustrated, and started frantically spamming exclamation marks, trying to get his attention.

This time, it really wasn't her, Yao Yao, who brought up any assessment or Hall Battle!

This "million Yin Lang" was completely something Brother Ye proposed on his own initiative!

She felt that, as the person involved, she had every right and reason to ask him what exactly he was thinking!

Ahem, of course, she only had the right to ask; that lord on the other side equally had the right to ignore her.

After bombarding him with exclamation marks for five minutes without any response, Yao Yao sighed helplessly, slumped in her chair, knowing it was time for that classic, headache-inducing phase again—"ponder."

Although she still hadn't figured out what exactly this big brother wanted her to "ponder," through the previous few "practical experiences," she had unexpectedly discovered the "secret technique" that could "trigger" him to act.

That's right, it was simple and crude—gift-giving!

Bombard him with gifts until he feels embarrassed!

Although exploiting this bug made her feel a bit shameless, the previous experiences clearly told her—this move was very, very, very effective! It was practically the ultimate method for dealing with this "reciprocating" big brother!

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child..."

Su Ning muttered to herself as she opened JD.com.

With a hundred thousand yuan in turnover, after deducting platform and guild shares, plus event rewards, she'd probably end up with around fifty thousand for herself.

Then... how expensive a gift should she send this time to "activate" this big brother? Twenty thousand? Or thirty thousand? It needs to be an amount that makes him think "Holy shit?", right?

As she pondered, she typed "men's luxury goods" into the search bar, then added a price filter for "20,000-30,000."

The page refreshed, displaying various brands of watches, belts, and clothing.

She casually clicked on a men's belt that looked nice and was about to take a closer look when she suddenly froze, abruptly remembering a fatal problem!

Oh no!

Right now, she only has a little over twelve thousand yuan at most!

This was from Brother Ye's tip yesterday, which she withdrew immediately; the guild's share of the turnover rebate won't be settled until next month!

A wave of panic instantly surged in her heart.

What if, because her "sincerity" is insufficient, she fails to "activate" the big brother, and the hundred thousand yuan turnover goes up in smoke? She'd regret it to death!

Su Ning quickly closed JD.com, opened each banking app, Alipay, and WeChat wallet on her phone to check her balances, then frantically tried to activate temporary credit card limits, checking the available limits on Huabei, Baitiao, Yuefu, and various other apps.

While she was busy with this, a WeChat voice call invitation from Zhi Xia suddenly popped up on her phone screen.

She answered the call while calculating the limits on several platforms: "Hello? Sister Zhi Xia, what's up?"

On the other end of the line, Zhi Xia got straight to the point: "That million Yin Lang Brother Ye mentioned earlier, have you confirmed it privately? Is it reliable or not?"

Su Ning was taken aback by the question, recalling Jiang Ye's words on the public screen: "He didn't tell me directly; he just mentioned it on the public screen. But Sister Zhi Xia, a big brother who can casually tip over thirty thousand probably doesn't need to brag about something like this, right? I think... it should be reliable."

Zhi Xia "hmm"ed in agreement: "That's what I think too. Then... Yao Yao, how about this? Find an opportunity to talk to Brother Ye. Next Sunday, the 14th, isn't it Hug Day? Ask Brother Ye to give you two hundred thousand Yin Lang that day as a warm-up, to show your strength to others in the guild and the operations team, and shut up those gossiping mouths."

"Two hundred thousand Yin Lang?" Su Ning repeated subconsciously.

"Yes, let everyone see your strength first."

Zhi Xia's tone gradually grew excited: "The key is on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! I talked with the operations team. If you can confirm a turnover of over a million Yin Lang, then on those two days, you'll go out and do a voice solo broadcast!"

"Solo broadcast?"

Su Ning was stunned, not quite understanding: "Sister Zhi Xia, I don't really get it. A voice solo broadcast... and then what?"

Zhi Xia laughed, her voice carrying a hint of mischief: "And then, as a 'challenger,' go PK the three 'Star Dream' girl groups in the guild! Use your voice solo broadcast to compete against their group broadcasts!"

"What?! I do a voice solo broadcast and PK a girl group's group broadcast?!"

Su Ning's mouth instantly formed an O shape, a vivid image popping into her mind:

On one side of the livestream room, her alone chatting into a microphone; on the other side, four or five beautiful girls in sexy outfits, with hot bodies, dancing to music... Isn't this ridiculous? How can you even compete?!

She shuddered immediately, saying with a mix of laughter and tears: "Sister Zhi Xia, can this work? The gap is just too big. Sure, there's entertainment value, but this is just too... isn't this pure torture?"

Zhi Xia laughed heartily on the other end of the line: "Silly girl, that's exactly the contrast and entertainment value we want. As long as we get the turnover, who cares if you get crushed~"

She changed her tone, becoming more serious: "The premise for all this is that Brother Ye really has the capability and can actually deliver a million Yin Lang! If things fall apart then, it won't just be embarrassing; it'll affect the data of the group broadcasts too. So the operations team wants to see your performance on the 14th first."

Su Ning held her phone, digesting the huge amount of information Zhi Xia had brought.

She subconsciously opened her chat window with Brother Ye again, looking at the string of unanswered exclamation marks she'd sent, a massive sense of uncertainty enveloping her once more.
