82: Let the eldest brother have it? - 3

Su Ning listened to Ashes' words, glanced at Zhi Xia's reminder, and couldn't help but roll her eyes dramatically.

Push Brother Ye to the Girl Group?

Forget whether she was willing or not—the key issue was that she simply couldn't do it!

What role did she, Su Ning, play in front of Brother Ye?

To put it nicely, she was a favored streamer; to put it bluntly, she was just a slightly more advanced 'electronic pet' and 'simp'!

What simp could decide who their goddess marries?

Moreover, she had worked hard for over half a month, acting cute and obedient, posting photos and staying up late, just to make this moody man develop a bit more fondness and 'habit' toward her. How could she hand him over to someone else at this point?

If something went wrong, who would help her pay off those tens of thousands in credit card bills?

And pushing him toward the Girl Group, of all things!

Those Girls in the Girl Group would do anything to make money. If one of them went all out with a 'Surprise Visit,' given Brother Ye's nature of just 'checking out chests,' he'd be hooked in no time!

When that happened, Su Ning would definitely fall out of favor instantly and be Cast Aside!

Rely on those promised three percentage points?

That was only if she could keep Brother Ye under control!

Once Brother Ye's attention drifted elsewhere and she got kicked to the curb, forget three percentage points—she probably wouldn't even get a 'thank you' and would end up on the Rooftop!

Thinking this, Su Ning could no longer suppress the resentment and feeling of disrespect bubbling inside her.

She snorted coldly into the microphone: 'I don't agree.'

Ashes was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Su Ning to refuse so bluntly:

'Don't agree? With what? Are the percentage points unsatisfactory, or do you have concerns about joining the Girl Group offline? We can discuss...'

'I don't agree with any of it.'

Su Ning cut him off directly, her tone firm: 'My big brother is mine. I won't cooperate with you, and I won't steer him elsewhere.'

'Yao Yao, you're being a bit unreasonable, aren't you?'

Ashes' tone immediately darkened: 'Isn't a win-win good? You get more money, the Guild makes more profit. Why can't you see that?'

Su Ning's temper flared up instantly.

Reasonable?

Besides carefully serving Brother Ye, who else did she, Su Ning, need to be reasonable with?

She quickly sent a WeChat message to Zhi Xia: [Sister Zhi Xia, I really don't need to give him face, right?]

Zhi Xia replied swiftly: [Your high streaming revenue makes you the boss! Sister Yao Yao, who do you need to give face to? Curse him out! Quick! Total idiot!]

Seeing the words 'Sister Yao Yao,' Su Ning suddenly felt a surge of confidence shoot from the soles of her feet to the top of her head!

Right!

She was now part of the 'Sister' generation!

Her voice turned completely cold, speeding up: 'Ashes, stop dawdling. It's annoying. I said no means no. Don't you understand?'

Ashes also got angry: 'Yao Yao, how are you talking? I'm discussing this politely with you. What kind of attitude is this?'

'What kind of attitude? What kind of attitude are YOU showing?!'

Su Ning shot back: 'I'm a high-revenue streamer in a voice chat room. How should I talk to a Girl Group Operator like you? If Sweet Potato weren't here too, do you think I'd waste time listening to you blabber?'

Sweet Potato, innocently dragged into it: '...' She could only send a sweating emoji.

Su Ning grew angrier the more she thought about it. Did these people think she was easy to bully??

No!

Complain! She had to complain! Lodge a Formal Complaint!

She directly opened the chat window with Brother Ye and typed quickly: [Brother~ Your baby is being bullied!]

After sending the WeChat, Su Ning continued venting into the microphone:

'I don't care how the Guild arranges things or what you think—that's your business. But my big brother is mine, and no one else can touch him! If you have the skills, go try to steal him yourselves! See if he listens to me or to you!'

Ashes sneered, his tone mocking: 'Hah, having high revenue sure makes you bold. But Yao Yao, let me remind you: having revenue now doesn't mean you'll always have it. Young people, don't be too arrogant...'

A 'ding' sounded from WeChat—Jiang Ye's reply arrived: [Playing a game, don't bother me.]

Though just a few simple words, the overwhelming impatience made Su Ning even more agitated.

Argh!!!

This Big Scumbag! I've wasted my feelings on him!!!

She threw a couple of punches at Jiang Ye's profile picture, channeling all her pent-up anger toward Ashes:

'Enough already, stop annoying me! I'm just an online voice chat streamer selling my skills. What are you being sarcastic about? Like you're sick or something! Let me tell you, if you push me too far, I'll just quit this lousy streaming job! I'll have Brother Ye transfer money to me directly via WeChat! Who cares about your measly revenue share? Satisfied?'

The effect was immediate!

Before Ashes could react, Sweet Potato was the first to panic, quickly trying to dissuade her:

'Oh no, no need for that! Yao Yao, don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out! Ashes! Say less! If Yao Yao doesn't want to, let's drop it! Don't bring it up again!'

Ashes clearly hadn't expected this seemingly easy-to-handle new streamer to have such a fiery temper, ready to flip the table and quit!

If he really pushed the Guild's potential big brother to transfer money privately, leaving the Guild with nothing, he, as the proposer, would be in deep trouble!

He immediately backed down, saying hurriedly: 'Fine, fine, forget it. If you don't want to, pretend I never said anything. Really... taking kindness for granted.'

With that, he directly left the group voice chat.

After Ashes left, Sweet Potato quickly comforted Su Ning with phrases like 'the Guild still values you' and 'don't take it to heart,' then also hurriedly exited the voice chat.

In the blink of an eye, only Su Ning and Zhi Xia remained in the discussion group.

Su Ning scratched her head, a bit uncertain: 'Sister Zhi Xia, was I too harsh just now... Will they deduct my monthly pay?'

'Deduct your pay? They wouldn't dare!'

Zhi Xia's voice carried a smile: 'Yao Yao, remember: in the Guild, as long as your revenue is high, you're the boss! Even if you're in the wrong, you can make a fuss—let alone when we're in the right today! In that situation, you could've cursed him out directly! Alright, it's over. Go back to the voice chat room and do what you need to do.'

Su Ning said 'Oh,' feeling reassured, and also left the group voice chat.

Looking at the now quiet discussion group, she let out a long sigh, her heart still beating a bit fast.

Brother Ye... this mysterious and generous man seemed to bring her more than just the steadily increasing sound waves data in her TikTok backend.

In this Guild where everything revolved around streaming revenue and performance, strong revenue was the ultimate pass and protective charm!

It brought real status and a voice!

Before, she was just an unknown little streamer who had to watch the expressions of the Operators and Hall Manager.

Now, just because of Brother Ye's presence, even senior Operators from other departments didn't dare offend her lightly, and Hall Manager Sister Zhi Xia called her 'Sister Yao Yao'!

This feeling... was freaking amazing!

Su Ning clenched her small fist, her gaze becoming incredibly determined.

No!

She had to keep a tight hold on Brother Ye!

This Golden Goose absolutely couldn't be stolen by anyone else!

This wasn't just about her income—it was about her 'status' in this circle!

Su Ning took a deep breath, opened the chat window with Jiang Ye again, looked at the message [Playing a game, don't bother me.], and started thinking about how to reply to both soothe the big brother's slight impatience and subtly remind him of her presence.
