7: It seems like I've become famous.
Falling City Xiyang Live Streaming
Zhang Linlin was attempting her first live stream. She was with Sun Kai, naturally aiming to become an internet celebrity and a Streamer to gain fame and money. Being able to dress up beautifully every day was her dream job.
Today, she specifically sought out a top makeup artist from the company to give her a perfect look. Looking at herself in the mirror, she was very confident. Although she lacked talent, she was beautiful.
She started the stream full of confidence, but two hours passed, and the number of people in the stream room hadn't even reached double digits.
Zhang Linlin felt strange: "It shouldn't be like this. My stream room is featured on the Xiyang Live Streaming homepage, how could there be so few people?"
She continued to chat calmly with the viewers in the stream room while secretly opening her phone with one hand to peek at what was happening.
As a result, she saw that face on the Weibo hot search—a face so familiar it couldn't be more familiar.
"Jiang Chuan? How could he be on the hot search?"
Zhang Linlin was no longer in the mood to manage the stream room and began frantically scrolling through her phone.

By the time Zhang Linlin reached the end, she could barely hold her phone steady. She had been with Jiang Chuan for so many years; how could he possibly be a second-generation rich?
Her heart was filled with resentment as she scrolled down forcefully, but she never saw the content she wanted to see.
Her eyes were fixed on a screenshot: Jiang Chuan and a sweet-looking girl with a very good figure were gazing affectionately at each other.
Zhang Linlin's pupils dilated as she slumped into her chair, losing all interest in the stream room she had meticulously prepared for so long.
She repeated in a low voice: "How is it possible? How is it possible..." Baiyao Shopping Plaza, Fifth Floor.
At the hotpot restaurant, the two had already finished eating, but Xiao Yi's phone rang one call after another; it hadn't stopped for ten minutes.
Jiang Chuan naturally knew what was happening. His popularity in the system was skyrocketing. Although some powerful companies had found his contact information, he had little interest in becoming a Streamer, so he stopped answering once he knew their intentions.
Finally, Xiao Yi finished her calls, playfully stuck out her tongue, and said, "Sorry, it seems I'm famous? Many companies called wanting me to sign contracts with them, saying they'd pay my termination fee."
Jiang Chuan asked curiously: "So what did you decide? Which company did you choose?"
Xiao Yi fidgeted for a moment and said shyly, "I haven't decided yet. I wanted to ask you to help me take a look. After all, you've seen more of the world, and I don't really understand these things."
Jiang Chuan also had a good impression of this girl. He had always heard that the streaming world was full of messy things. He hadn't explored this circle himself, but this girl seemed quite pure, so he agreed.
"Then show me the contracts they sent, and I'll help you look them over."
Xiao Yi gave a sweet smile: "Thank you! I owe you a favor. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know!"
Jiang Chuan didn't think she could help him with anything, but he didn't mind. He took her phone, looked through the contracts from each company, and got a good idea of the situation.
He cleared his throat and said, "Shenhai Company's contract is the best quality, but the term is too long. The others are a bit worse. I suggest you don't sign anything for now; let the bullets fly for a while."
"I'll listen to you! Then I won't sign for now!" Xiao Yi didn't hesitate and put her phone into her small bag.
Seeing she was done, Jiang Chuan stood up and said, "Then let's go. If things don't go according to plan, call me. Here is my contact info."
Xiao Yi took out her phone, switched to her main Weibo account, added him using the number he gave, bowed deeply, and said seriously:
"Thank you very much! For giving me gifts, helping me with my stream, making me so famous, and giving me the freedom to choose any contract."
Jiang Chuan didn't care much. He put his hands behind his head and walked out leisurely.
"It was just a mutual exchange of needs. Don't worry about it."
After Xiao Yi settled the bill, she carried her LV bag and jogged to catch up. Finding that the elevator had already gone down, she pouted and huffed, "He didn't even wait for me. What a blockhead!"
But looking at her small pink bag, she felt he wasn't entirely unforgivable. When the elevator came back up, she hummed an unknown song and stepped in with a light step.
Jiang Chuan got into the Mercedes-Benz business van, leaned back in his seat, and opened the system with half-closed eyes.
[popularity: 73,610]
Almost 100,000. Progress is quite fast. However, gaining popularity will definitely become much harder in the future. Once I get the reward, I'll have to consider starting a company.
As for Xiao Yi, let nature take its course. If she were the type of girl who had been through a lot, Jiang Chuan would have taken her to a hotel by now.
But girls like Xiao Yi are troublesome. It's easy to take them back, but they'll stick to you afterward. He had no intention of dating; why would he tie himself to one tree?
Besides, she was part of his subsequent plans, so they'd meet again soon. That was also why he didn't let her sign a contract.
Jiang Chuan returned to the hotel's presidential suite, organized the clothes that had been delivered, and went into the bathroom. He had just lying down in the bathtub.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Reluctantly, he reached out his arm, grabbed his phone, and opened WeChat.
[Xiao Yi: My name is Lin Shuyi, I forgot to tell you! Poking-fingers.jpg]
[Jiang Chuans secondary: Yeah, my name is Jiang Chuan.]
Jiang Chuan didn't bother with her further, tossed his phone aside, and continued his comfortable bath.
After bathing, he put on a bathrobe and lay on the bed spread out like the character for 'wood.' He switched to his secondary account and scrolled through various streams to see if there were other ways to increase popularity.
Various female bodhisattvas, game streams, talents, and dancing.
He didn't find any other ways to increase popularity, so he tossed his phone aside and fell into a deep sleep.
7:35 AM
Jiang Chuan opened his eyes. The first thing he did was pick up his phone. He found many WeChat messages, all from Xiao Yi.
[It's not just me who's gone viral; you seem to have gone viral too!]
[Do you plan to stream?]
[How should I stream tomorrow? What should I say when fans ask about us? Resting-chin-on-hand.jpg]
...[23:48]
[Are you asleep? Goodnight!]
Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly and gave a simple reply:
[Jiang Chuans secondary: Just stream normally. Wait for my news; I'll definitely make you satisfied.]
He stood up and went to the bathroom to wash up. He was almost at 100,000 popularity!
After washing up, he went to the gym area. In his previous life, he had been consistent with fitness and had a personal trainer, but this body clearly hadn't touched fitness yet. Better stick to the treadmill.
He turned on the treadmill, set it to level four, and warmed up with a slow walk. After ten minutes, he slowly increased the speed.
"Ring ring~ Ring ring~"
Jiang Chuan grabbed his phone without stopping his pace and answered. Before he could even ask, a shocked roar came from the phone.
"Third Brother! What's going on? I just checked my phone and it's all news about you. You've become a celebrity!"
