Su Ning snorted coldly in her heart, so it was because of this!

She pursed her lips and said in a flat tone, "I don't know. Where my man wants to go play is his freedom, I can't control it."

"Sigh, Yao Yao, don't be so resistant."

Ashes didn't seem to mind her coldness, still laughing it off: "Here's the situation. Last Sunday, Brother Ye came to 101 to look around, added a little streamer of ours on WeChat, spent a few thousand bucks, and had a great time in the live stream. But for some reason, not long after spending, he deleted our streamer's WeChat, and hasn't been back since. It's... pretty strange."

He paused, his tone becoming "heart-to-heart": "Since he's your big brother, we all know you've been maintaining him really well, so we thought we'd come ask you, see if there's some misunderstanding. After all, we're all one family, right?"

As Su Ning listened, her heart suddenly leaped with joy!

Oh? Deleted?

Brother Ye actually deleted that little vixen's WeChat?!

Hahahaha! This Girl's grand strategy is a huge success!

It seems that the 'emergency stability operation' of checking in, posting photos, and hanging up to sleep that night was quite effective!

Of course, with this face and figure of mine, those Girl Group Girls who rely on filters and beauty effects to hold up the scene aren't even a match when tied together!

Su Ning forcefully suppressed her rising smile, bubbling with joy in her heart.

But then, she also grasped the deeper meaning in Ashes' words—

This was clearly the Girl Group side suspecting that she, the 'main wife,' had gotten jealous, whispered in Brother Ye's ear, and made him delete the person and leave the circle, so they came to question her and probe the truth!

Before she could finish this thought, her WeChat private chat dinged again—it was Zhi Xia:

Zhi Xia: [Well done, Yao Yao! You've grown up! (thumbs up) (thumbs up)]

Su Ning proudly raised her chin, a sense of accomplishment from guarding her own treasure welling up.

But speaking into the group voice chat, she still maintained a tone of detachment:

"Brother Ashes, I don't know about this. Brother Ye didn't mention anything to me about playing over at the Girl Group. He's usually pretty busy, maybe it was just a whim."

Ashes was silent for a few seconds, then his tone became more formal:

"Sigh, Yao Yao, let's be frank. After Brother Ye spent those 200,000 sound waves on you last Sunday, to be honest, we few Operator in the Guild all know that your million sound waves on Christmas Eve are definitely secured. That's your skill, we all admire it."

"But Yao Yao, haven't you noticed a problem?"

He shifted gears: "The amounts Brother Ye has spent these few times far exceed the normal spending level in your voice chat room. Even to help you handle that million sound waves, we had to rely on our Girl Group to cooperate... What does that mean?"

Sweet Potato couldn't help but interject: "Brother Ashes, what you're saying..."

"Sweet Potato, you know I'm telling the truth."

Ashes chuckled, cutting her off: "You heard it in the meeting yesterday. Yao Yao's task is 1,500, he spends 5,000; task is 5,000, he spends 30,000. Last Sunday, he casually spent another 20,000, and there's 100,000 waiting on Christmas Eve. Your voice chat room simply can't test the true depth of this big brother's strength. We can't give others in the hall 2,000 tasks and give Yao Yao 100,000, right? That would look too greedy."

He paused, lowered his voice a bit, and said something that made Su Ning's blood boil:

"To say something that might not sound pleasant, Yao Yao, I personally feel that with the spending power Brother Ye has shown so far, keeping him with you is a bit... wasteful. Or rather, our Guild's voice chat room can't quite handle him."

Hearing this, even Zhi Xia couldn't help but unmute: "Huh? Brother Ashes, what do you mean by that? What do you mean it's wasteful with Yao Yao?"

"Hehe, Zhi Xia, don't get upset."

Ashes ignored Zhi Xia's tone, leisurely asking back: "Yao Yao, what do you think? Am I making a bit of sense?"

Su Ning's brows furrowed tightly.

She understood now—this wasn't about asking about deleting WeChat, but seeing they couldn't poach him, they were coming to blatantly steal him!

"Brother Ashes, if you have any ideas, just say it straight, don't beat around the bush."

"Good, Yao Yao, straightforward!"

Ashes' voice rose a bit: "My meaning, or rather, this is also the thinking of some of the Guild's Management, is that after the PK on Christmas Eve, we hope Yao Yao can cooperate and find a way to gradually guide Brother Ye's interest over to our Girl Group side. After all, the playstyle here is more diverse, better matching his spending tier..."

"Impossible!"

Su Ning refused without even thinking, her voice turning cold, "Brother Ashes, this is my big brother! He likes playing in the voice chat room, I..."

"Yao Yao, don't refuse so quickly, hear me out."

Ashes interrupted her, his tone tempting: "Our idea is, if you can cooperate well and are willing to share how you chat with Brother Ye, teach our streamers who'll take over, then for all the Revenue he generates in the Girl Group after that, the Guild can give you an extra 3% Rebate! Note, it's extra! What he spends in your hall, you still get your usual cut; what he spends in the Girl Group, you get another 3%!"

He paused, then added: "And Hall Manager Zhi Xia, if this works out, you'll get a 0.8% Hardship Fee. Sweet Potato here will naturally have corresponding compensation too."

Ashes' voice was full of allure: "To be honest, Sisters, this number isn't small. Based on the strength Brother Ye has shown so far, as long as he's not some fool pretending to be rich by inflating his face or taking out loans, spending two or three hundred thousand a month in the Girl Group is as easy as playing. You, Yao Yao, can lie back and earn an extra few thousand, isn't that money sweet?"

This time, Zhi Xia and Sweet Potato on the other end of the call fell silent.

Ashes was telling the truth—"Wen Yu's Girlfriend" really couldn't handle more Revenue. If they successfully diverted "Brother Ye" to the Girl Group, their income would only increase.

Since their own interests likely wouldn't be affected, their choice and suggestion rights naturally leaned more toward silence, or rather, completely handing the decision over to Su Ning.

Sensing the wavering in the silence, Ashes struck while the iron was hot:

"Oh right, Yao Yao, if you're willing, you could also come to the Guild for Offline Work, directly join the Girl Group. With your voice condition, as long as you're over 1.5 meters tall, you can..."

Before he could finish, he was coldly interrupted by Zhi Xia:

"Brother Ashes, you might not understand the voice chat room situation. No matter what Yao Yao actually looks like, as soon as she shows her face, there's a high chance the big brother will leave—'Death Upon Sight' is the norm. So she can't show her face, don't even mention offline Girl Group."

Ashes said "oh," his tone slightly regretful:

"That's a shame. So, Yao Yao? Will you consider it? You know this industry—big brothers' enthusiasm comes and goes fast. Even if you maintain them well, there's still a risk of loss. Why not take advantage of this good opportunity now, cooperate, and earn a bit more real money, don't you think that makes sense?"

Just then, Su Ning's WeChat private chat popped up again:

Zhi Xia: [Don't listen to him! Who can't paint a big picture? As long as you can keep Brother Ye steady, you don't need to listen to his nonsense! What's the logic in pushing your own big brother away? If you really take him over, the Girl Group side has so many tricks, such wild playstyles, you'll definitely be affected here!]
