18: Xiao Yi the Transformer

Lin Shuyi's face turned beet red. She quickly moved away from the computer to a spot out of the camera's view and whispered, "What are you doing? I'm streaming!"

"??? Is that Jiang Chuan's voice?"

"Jiang rogue, don't you dare trick my Yi-bao!"

"Are they developing that fast? Already talking about multi-hundred-million projects?"

Jiang Chuan only then remembered her streaming schedule. Even he felt a bit awkward, let alone Lin Shuyi.

"It's fine, Xiao Yi. Put it on speaker; I'll chat with the viewers."

Lin Shuyi sat in front of the computer holding her phone, watching the bullet chat sent by the fans.

The more she looked, the redder her face became. Having no other choice, she closed her eyes and turned on the speaker.

Jiang Chuan cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Chuan."

"Jiang Chuan! Hurry up and tell us about the progress!"

"Are you guys really together? Wuwuwu~ I'm heartbroken!"

"Jiang Chuan, give us your contact info! I want that twenty thousand yuan!"

Jiang Chuan naturally couldn't see the bullet chat and continued:

"Xiao Yi and I really are discussing a project. Don't overthink it. This project will be revealed to everyone in a while. When that time comes, Xiao Yi and I will tell you all about it."

"Guess if I believe you?"

"Xiao Yi! Don't believe this scumbag!"

"Just going to rub it in, right?"

Seeing that he was finished, Lin Shuyi quickly turned off the speaker and whispered, "I'll head over in a bit!"

After hanging up, she looked at the stream and said, "Sorry everyone! I'm ending the stream a bit early today. I'll definitely make it up to you tonight!"

After this interlude, the popularity that had just started to dip was reignited, becoming even more explosive than before!

Zhenyi Hotel, Room 2001

Jiang Chuan hung up and quickly opened Xiao Yi's stream to check the bullet chat. Sure enough, even though the stream was over, the comments were still flooding in!

"Any big news? Did anyone hear which hotel it is?"

"It seemed like Room 2001 of some hotel?"

"I'm going to check Room 2001 in every hotel in our city right now! I won't let that Jiang rogue get his way!"

"I'm going too! Jiang rogue, go die!"

Jiang Chuan broke into a cold sweat and immediately arranged to change rooms. If he got caught, his legs would be snapped! Fanatics are too terrifying... He didn't even wait for the staff to help with the luggage after hearing from Yang Xue that they were moved to 3001.

He ran to the thirtieth floor with his luggage. His plan had just begun; he didn't want to reincarnate again!

Not long after, Yang Xue brought Xiao Yi to the thirtieth floor. After delivering her, she bowed and took her leave, sighing inwardly:

"It's so good to be rich; they're always surrounded by top-tier beauties!"

Lin Shuyi was wearing overalls over a white short-sleeved shirt with a little bunny print. The bunny was stretched taut. On her feet, she wore a pair of white Converse canvas shoes.

She looked full of vitality, youthful and beautiful, but her tightly furrowed brow broke that perfection, making her look quite pitiful.

She held up her small hand, still debating whether to knock. It was as if there were a little angel and a little devil on her head.

One was dissuading her, while the other was enticing her.

However, Lin Shuyi didn't know about something called a "visual intercom system."

Jiang Chuan looked at the scene with amusement. Her hand would move forward a bit and then retract; it was quite interesting.

But seeing her furrowed brow and her cute, pitiful appearance, he felt a bit of pity.

Jiang Chuan walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Lin Shuyi outside, feigning surprise:

"Xiao Yi? When did you get here? Why didn't you knock? Come in!"

Lin Shuyi was still hesitating when the door suddenly opened. Her body jolted in surprise, and she whispered:

"I... I just arrived. I was just about to knock."

Jiang Chuan stepped aside with a smile and said, "Then come in quickly. I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Shuyi nodded and walked into the room with light steps, sitting obediently on the sofa like an ostrich with her head down!

Escaping might be shameful, but it's very effective!

Jiang Chuan took two bottles of water from the mini-fridge and walked over. "Here, have some water."

Lin Shuyi took the water and whispered, "Thank you!"

Jiang Chuan leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and said with a smile:

"Why so distant after just a few days? You seemed very lively last time, running so fast."

"This is a hotel! How can I be lively?!"

Lin Shuyi complained in her heart, but still said with a smile, "No, I was streaming last time, I had to interact."

Jiang Chuan saw this wouldn't do. The girl was acting all withdrawn with her head down; how could they talk?

He stood up and walked to her side, getting closer and closer.

Lin Shuyi felt him approaching. She buried her head even lower, her body tensing up and her small fists clenching tight.

Jiang Chuan leaned close to her ear, saw her reddened ears, took a deep breath, and shouted:

"Ah!"

Lin Shuyi's nerves were already taut, and the sudden sound made her jump.

The little bunny shook violently. She looked up and glared at him with her large eyes, grumbling:

"What are you doing! You scared me to death! You're simply too mean!"

[Emotional Contrast Theory: using one emotion to alleviate a previous one]

Jiang Chuan reached out and patted her head, saying:

"How is it? Not nervous anymore, right? I really have something to talk to you about. How could we talk with you in that state?"

Lin Shuyi wasn't nervous anymore, but her heart was still racing from the fright. She patted her chest to calm down before asking:

"What is it? And you mentioned a multi-hundred-million project; the fans all misunderstood!"

Jiang Chuan was shameless and acted as if he hadn't heard, handing over the contract.

"I've started a Streamer company. If you trust me, come work with me. It'll definitely be much better than being at Shenhai. This is the contract."

"If I didn't trust you, how could I have come today!"

Lin Shuyi took the contract without opening it and said directly:

"I trust you. Just tell me the contents. I won't look at the contract; I don't really understand them anyway."

Jiang Chuan leaned closer, grabbed the contract, and pointed at the content: "I'll explain, you look. Don't look at me, look at the contract!"

"How can I look at the contract when you're so close?" Lin Shuyi shifted her seat away from him and looked at where he was pointing.

[Contract term is five years, our company has the right of first refusal, gift revenue split is 75% for you and 25% for the company, a base monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, the company will focus on your development and promotion, the company will pay any breach of contract fees...]

Although Lin Shuyi didn't understand much, she knew this contract was many times better than the one Shenhai had offered!

"No problem!" Lin Shuyi picked up a pen and signed her name on the contract.

Jiang Chuan took the contract with satisfaction. Although Lin Shuyi might not necessarily become a top-tier Streamer in the future...

Her current popularity was already worth this top-tier contract. It would save the company a lot of promotion expenses in the early stages.

"Do you plan to continue as a Store-visiting Streamer? Do you have any other ideas?"

Lin Shuyi thought carefully and said, "I don't really know how to do anything else."

Jiang Chuan rubbed his chin and said, "How are your makeup skills? Or gaming?"

"I don't play games, but I'm okay at makeup!" Lin Shuyi said.

"Then you can learn more about makeup and fashion. I'll have a great use for it later!"
