562: verbal promise

While Lin Youjie was in the bathroom, the female influencer had been grumbling incessantly.

But the moment the sound of the bathroom door opening came, her face changed in a second. She greeted him with a smile, her eyes squinting into crescents, and affectionately hooked her arm around Lin Youjie's:

"Brother Jie, you're done washing up. Let's go eat; I'm so hungry my stomach is sticking to my back."

Lin Youjie gave a wicked smile and pinched the influencer's face. "What, hungry already? Did I not feed you enough?"

The influencer feigned bashful annoyance and tapped Lin Youjie's chest, coquettishly whining, "You're so annoying~~~"

That cloyingly sweet, coquettish voice made Lin Youjie burst into a hearty laugh.

Money is such a fucking good thing!

Before, he could only satisfy his eyes through a phone screen. If he didn't send gifts, those female streamers wouldn't even acknowledge his comments.

After he collected his ten million prize and generously dropped two 'Carnival' gifts, this 'aloof' female streamer had taken the initiative to contact him.

Without the beauty filters, she was indeed a bit less impressive than in the livestream room.

But the thing was, she knew how to 'work' it.

Compared to Zhang Xiuying, who was unwilling to even turn on the lights, Lin Youjie felt he was finally experiencing the ultimate pleasure.

After some flirting in the room, his interest was piqued, and Lin Youjie wanted to rally his strength for another round.

However, the female streamer refused, using the excuse that Lin Youjie was too fierce last night and she couldn't take any more today.

With her calling him 'big brother' this and 'big brother' that in her sweet voice, Lin Youjie felt like he was floating on air, and only then did he reluctantly let her off.

"Brother Jie, you know I'm a streamer, so I have to use a decent phone. But the Fruit phone I'm using now is an old model, and the battery doesn't last anymore.

You promised me last night that you'd take me to buy the latest Fruit phone today. You can't forget that."

"Haha, easy. It's just a phone worth a few thousand, isn't it? Big brother will buy it for you."

"Thank you, big brother! You're the best, mua~~~"

With a kiss on his right cheek from the influencer, Lin Youjie laughed again, basking in his success.

Taking the influencer with him, he finished the free hotel breakfast, checked out, and drove his newly purchased Audi A6L straight to the nearest Apple store.

When picking out a car, Lin Youjie had originally thought about buying an Audi A8L—the kind that's 'six horizontal and twelve vertical, remaining unmoved while the enemy moves.'

But the price tag of several hundred thousand still made Lin Youjie hesitate, so he eventually settled for the next best thing and chose this Audi A6L.

"Big brother, can you buy me the Pro Max version? The screen on this model is bigger, so it'll be better for my livestreams."

"The Pro Max?"

As he drove, a look of hesitation flashed across Lin Youjie's face.

His original plan was just to buy a standard version for a few thousand for her.

If she wanted the Pro Max version, wouldn't that cost over ten thousand!

He had won ten million, but once that ten million was spent, it was gone.

Lin Youjie was worried that an extra ten thousand here and a few thousand there would quickly squander all his money.

Sensing the hesitation on Lin Youjie's face, the influencer bit her lip, then leaned in close to his ear and whispered in a seductive, low voice:

"Good brother, just buy me the Pro Max. As long as you buy it for me, I can..."

After hearing the influencer's 'verbal promise' and feeling her warm breath on his ear, Lin Youjie's blood boiled, and he nearly lost his grip on the steering wheel.

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course I'm serious. You're so good to me, how could I lie to you?"

With things said to this point, how could Lin Youjie hold back? He pulled the car over at a random spot on the roadside... Five minutes later, Lin Youjie comfortably started the car and continued driving toward the phone store.

The influencer opened a bottle of water, rinsed her mouth a few times, opened the car window, and when there were no cars nearby, spat the water straight out of the car.

At the phone store, the influencer quickly picked out the phone she wanted.

A white titanium Fruit 15 Pro Max with 512GB of storage.

The price of just over ten thousand made Lin Youjie's heart ache, and he winced slightly.

Before winning the prize, he was still using an old phone he'd bought three years ago for just over a thousand.

A single Fruit 15 Pro Max was worth three months of his previous income.

"Honey, I've picked it out. Let's get this one. Love you!"

Despite the sting to his wallet...

...recalling the experience in the car just now, Lin Youjie gritted his teeth and pulled out his bank card with feigned generosity.

"Fine, this one it is. Swipe the card."

The top supporter had coughed up more gold. Her 'effort' from last night until now had been worth it. The streamer affectionately hugged Lin Youjie's other arm tightly.

"Big brother is so good, I love big brother the most."

"Haha."

The streamer's public display of affection made Lin Youjie feel he had gained a lot of face, making the ten thousand or so spent feel worth it.

If it weren't for his lack of stamina and the slight ache in his lower back, Lin Youjie would have wanted to pull the streamer back into the car for another 'exchange.'

Just as Lin Youjie was thinking about what new tricks to play the next time he asked her out to make back the ten thousand spent on the phone...

...the clerk who had just left with the bank card walked back quickly, saying with an apologetic look:

"Sir, I'm sorry, but this bank card has been frozen. Could you please use another card?"

"Frozen?" Lin Youjie looked bewildered. "How is that possible? You must be mistaken. I still have over two million in this card. How could it be frozen!"

The clerk nodded apologetically:

"I tried several times just now, and the machine kept displaying a prompt that the account is frozen. Perhaps you should check with your bank to see if there's an issue with your account?"

The clerk's certain answer made Lin Youjie's eyebrows knit together.

After receiving the ten million prize, worried that the money in his account might be secretly transferred by staff members as stories online suggested, he had specifically split the money into four parts.

Three of those parts, each a deposit of 2.5 million, were placed in three different banks as five-year fixed-term deposits. He planned to live a carefree life on the interest in the future.

The remaining two million plus was kept in this current bank card for him to squander.

With over two million still in the card, how could his bank card possibly be frozen?

Could it be that after winning the lottery, he really had used up all his luck and was now unlucky enough to have his money secretly transferred by staff?

The two million plus in the card was a quarter of his net worth. Now that something was wrong, Lin Youjie couldn't sit still anymore.

"Swipe it for me again! See if it's a problem with the machine!"

The clerk had no choice but to swipe the bank card again as Lin Youjie requested.

Without fail, the machine still displayed 'Account Frozen.'

"Wait a moment, I'll call the bank to ask what's going on!"

In Yang County, someone with a large deposit of over two million was already considered a major client of the bank.

When he made the deposit, the bank had naturally assigned an advisor to Lin Youjie.

After finding the advisor's contact information and getting through, Lin Youjie immediately yelled into the phone:

"What's wrong with your bank? Why did you freeze my account for no reason!"
