45: Orders surge

"Friends and fans, I've checked for you. It's 24 yuan per jin, 119 yuan for 5 jin, with free shipping nationwide."

[I want to buy, I want to buy!]

[Me too!]

...[Just post the link, Princess. I'd be willing to receive a box of rotten peaches.]

Li Chuxia again showed a troubled expression, "Is there anyone who can teach me how to post a link?"

The barrage was flooded with tutorials.

The most skilled hunter often appears as the prey.

Just like that, Li Chuxia steered the livestream topic towards selling peaches.

It was a seamless transition, without any sense of awkwardness.

All her fans happily accepted it.

This wasn't hard to understand; most of the videos Li Chuxia had posted before were about food, drink, and fun.

A large portion of those who followed her were foodies in real life.

Whenever she posted a food video, fans would ask for the address in the comments.

Plus, this year's peaches had suffered widespread damage before they could be mass-marketed.

This led to many people wanting to eat them but being unable to buy them.

With guidance from her fans, Li Chuxia quickly set up the link.

The product image was just a direct shot of the peach she had bitten into earlier.

The fans didn't mind how the product image looked.

They were buying based on the person, not the product.

The first listing was for 100 sets.

Sold out in seconds.

???

These people are actually buying.

[Princess, post more! I was still on the refresh page when it sold out.]

"Everyone, hold on a moment. Let me see how to operate this."

The second listing was for 500 sets.

2 seconds.

Sold out again.

??

This speed was somewhat unexpected even for Chen Su.

The third listing was for 2000 sets.

This time, it took about 30 seconds from listing to selling out.

[Post more, I want to stock up a few boxes for gifts.]

Li Chuxia hadn't expected her fans to be so enthusiastic either.

Originally, she had planned to have the company cover the losses if they couldn't sell.

For the fourth listing, Li Chuxia prepared to list all the remaining stock.

A total of 15,400 sets.

Chen Su kept 10 sets back.

Only 15,390 sets were listed.

In less than five minutes.

The listed 15,390 sets were completely sold out.

Deducting the 10 sets Chen Su kept back, which was 50 jin.

The remaining 89,950 jin sold for a total of 2,140,810 yuan.

Chen Su had already negotiated the shipping cost at 5 yuan per order, totaling 89,950 yuan.

The packaging boxes Chen Su had custom-made were relatively high-end, costing 3 yuan each, totaling 53,970 yuan.

The cost of the peaches was 560,000 yuan.

After deducting the labor fees for hiring workers to pack them.

Oh, and also the 360,000 yuan payment fee for Li Chuxia.

Li Chuxia could refuse this money, but Chen Su couldn't not give it.

Chen Su took out a calculator and did the math.

The net profit from selling the peaches this time was 1.07 million yuan.

His goal of buying a small car could now be realized.

The peaches were already sold out, but the fans in the group were still clamoring.

[How is it sold out again? Goddess, is there any more? Post some more, even empty boxes would do.]

...Fan economy is just that domineering, consumption is full of wildness.

Whether to buy or not depends entirely on mood.

"Really, there's none left, none at all. You guys bought everything. All that's left from this batch of peaches is the half I ate on the table."

Li Chuxia helplessly picked up the half-eaten peach from the table.

[Sell this one to me, I'll pay 100 yuan.]

[100 yuan? Step aside, I'll pay 500~]

...Li Chuxia livestreamed for a full two hours.

By the time she ended the stream, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.

"Chen Su, this money can only be withdrawn after the fans confirm receipt on their end."

"It's fine, there's no rush."

"Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"

Chen Su shook his head.

Joking, this young lady spent over 200,000 yuan on a few sets of clothes for him. How could she possibly be interested in a mere million or so.

"I helped you with such a big favor. How are you going to thank me?"

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal. You can pick any place in all of Maple City." Chen Su patted his money belt.

"Then I won't hold back."

Li Chuxia still chose Wangpin Steakhouse from a few days ago.

She knew Chen Su had worked hard for his money; how could she waste it like that.

So she chose this steakhouse, which was already very luxurious for ordinary people.

As for why she chose this place.

Because this place had a couples' set meal ~~

...Just as the two were enjoying their meal.

A voice shattered the warm atmosphere.

"Chen Su, you scumbag. You've been avoiding me for days, finally decided to show up."

Chen Su looked up and saw Xu Jing, whom he hadn't seen for days.

He thought moving would help him avoid this nuisance, but he didn't expect to run into her here.

Xu Jing originally didn't plan to look for Chen Su again. Deng Cong provided her with food and drink, and her life was quite comfortable.

After learning Xu Jing was pregnant, Deng Cong was overjoyed. At first, he wasn't sure if the child was his, but Xu Jing was an expert at acting, even threatening suicide.

She made Deng Cong completely believe the child was his, and he practically wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand every day... But the good times didn't last. A few days ago, Deng Cong was arrested, losing his source of income, and Xu Jing's good life came to an end.

Most crucially, she was still pregnant.

When she first found out she was pregnant, she wanted to abort it immediately. The doctor said she had a constitution prone to infertility, and if she aborted, she might never have children again.

That's why she gave up on the abortion, thinking she could use this child to threaten Chen Su.

Who would have thought Chen Su would move overnight? How could she have been so blind to fall for Chen Su in the past... After searching for Chen Su for days without success, she ran into him today at Hyatt Plaza.

Truly, you can search far and wide with no success, yet find it effortlessly without even trying.

No way was she letting him run away again.

"Who are you?" Only when she got closer did she notice Li Chuxia sitting opposite Chen Su.

"Can't you tell? We're eating a couples' set meal here. I'm obviously his girlfriend." Li Chuxia said matter-of-factly while chewing her beef.

"Girlfriend? Girl, you better open your eyes wide. I'm his ex-girlfriend. He got me pregnant and then abandoned me."

Xu Jing was twisting black and white right there.

"Is that so? Who knows if the child in your belly is even Chen Su's." Li Chuxia's expression remained unchanged.

"Don't you know he was fired by Tiansheng Group and is now blacklisted across the entire industry?"

"I know! So what?"

"He doesn't even have a job himself. How is he going to earn money to support you?"

"It's fine. I have money. I can support him."

Xu Jing was about to explode with anger at this stubborn, sharp-tongued Li Chuxia. "Chen Su is the most vain person. He's only after your money. Once he's cheated you out of all your money, you'll be dumped too."

"This lady, my looks may fade, but my money will grow. If Chen Su likes my money, then I'd be overjoyed. My money is enough for several lifetimes. Wouldn't that mean Chen Su would like me for several lifetimes?"

Li Chuxia scoffed, "Besides, I can guarantee that if I marry Chen Su in the future, the child in my belly will definitely be Chen Su's. Can you guarantee that?"

"Of course I can!" Xu Jing shouted loudly.

The more she acted like this, the more she seemed to be putting on a brave front...
