8: A hundred thousand people are famous!

Jiang Chuan replied calmly with steady breathing, "There was a bit of an accident. I was working on a script with a Streamer friend, and I didn't expect it to blow up like this."

Shen Jincheng, the second oldest in the dorm, said excitedly:

"Nice! Then you can become a Streamer. I heard livestreaming has been really popular these past couple of years."

Jiang Chuan stopped the treadmill and said with a smile, "That's a small matter. I actually have something I need your help with. Where are you?"

"I'm at home. You can just come straight to my place."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel, Jiang Chuan walked out of the gym. He grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge, took a large gulp, and then asked, "Are your sister and uncle at home?"

"Yeah, they're here. Do you need them for something?"

Jiang Chuan said casually, "I have a bit of business. I'll head over in a bit. Wait for me at home. Bye!"

After hanging up, he sat on the bed and waited for his popularity to reach 100,000. The plan was set; now he just had to see what rewards the system would give him.

[99832]

[99921]

[100000]

[Congratulations to the Host for reaching 100,000 popularity. Reward: 20 million in funds.]

[Detected that the Host wishes to establish a company. Reward: An eight-story office building.]

[Reward: One Person-Finder Card.]

[Person-Finder Card: Enter the target's information to obtain their location. (Note: The more detailed the information, the more precise the address. Limited to domestic use only.)]

Jiang Chuan looked at the rewards given by the system and let out a soft sigh of relief. His current funds were barely enough, and with these unexpected surprises, he could begin his plan. Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the bustling Falling City, he said with a smile:

"I hope the livestreaming world isn't too boring!"

Morning [10:35]

Jiang Chuan changed his clothes and walked out of the suite with a relaxed expression. A young man's body really was great; he barely broke a sweat from running, only feeling slightly out of breath.

After a simple breakfast downstairs, he bought a bunch of gifts and then got into the Mercedes-Benz business van arranged by the hotel to head to Shen Jincheng's home.

Leaning back against the comfortable seat, he thought about Shen Jincheng's family situation and how to handle things when he arrived.

Shen Jincheng's father owned a clothing company. In recent years, he had caught the e-commerce wave and set up shops on shopping platforms like Taojin, making a fortune. However, most of his business was still offline, and his company was considered one of the best in Falling City.

In his past life, Jiang Chuan had invested in Zhishu Clothing to help his friend. Unexpectedly, the clothing company grew larger and larger, becoming a well-known enterprise in the entire province, and in the end, it was Jiang Chuan who made a fortune.

Shen Jincheng's family was simple: his father, Mother Shen, and an older sister. Jiang Chuan's goal for this trip was her. Shen Jincheng had zero talent for business, but his sister, Shen Qingning, was a rare business genius.

That's right, his goal was to poach her... Splendid Mansion.

Jiang Chuan had given a heads-up in advance, so the vehicle was cleared through security. The car didn't stop until it reached the entrance of the unit where Shen Jincheng lived.

The Shen family's discipline was quite strict. At this moment, Shen Jincheng and Shen Qingning were standing at the door to receive the guest. When they saw a Mercedes-Benz business van stop in front of them, neither of them paid it much mind, quietly waiting for Jiang Chuan's arrival.

Then, a driver wearing white gloves and a formal suit stepped out of the car and respectfully opened the door.

A pair of polished leather shoes hit the ground first, followed by crisp suit trousers, a clean white shirt, a sharp-featured face, and a smile with a hint of roguishness. It was Jiang Chuan!

"Old Third?"

"Xiao Chuan?"

Shen Jincheng had never seen his friend like this. He hurried forward, poking and prodding him here and there.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing, Second Brother? Sister Ning is still here. What's with all this touching!" Jiang Chuan quickly held him back; the image he had worked so hard to build was crumbling.

Shen Qingning had a perfect heart-shaped face and stood about 1.68 meters tall. Her smooth long hair was draped down, fluttering gently in the wind. Her somewhat cold eyes watched the two of them fooling around.

She wore a black T-shirt, a black over-the-knee skirt, and black sandals. Her all-black outfit further accentuated her skin, which was as white as jade. As she moved, a glimpse of her snowy-white calves would inadvertently show, like the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Shen Qingning tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and said politely, "Xiao Cheng, stop messing around. Let Xiao Chuan in."

Shen Jincheng finally stopped. Putting his arm around his brother's shoulder, he said, "Not bad! It's only been a few days and you're already riding in a Mercedes-Benz with a driver. You look quite the gentleman."

Jiang Chuan had been here many times, so he didn't stand on ceremony. Swatting his hand away, he said, "There are things in the trunk I bought for your parents. Go carry them."

"Why should I carry them? Shouldn't you be the one?" Shen Jincheng asked in surprise.

Jiang Chuan said righteously, "Where's the logic in that? I bought these gifts for your mom and dad. There's no way I'm carrying them; it definitely has to be you. Go on, go on!"

Knowing that Jiang Chuan had come for a reason, Shen Jincheng could only grumble under his breath, "If I'd known, I wouldn't have come to meet you. Now I have to help you carry things!"

Jiang Chuan wouldn't actually let him carry everything alone. In the end, all three of them carried something as they entered the elevator.

The Shen family's home was on the 21st floor, one unit per floor, a large flat of over two hundred square meters. This showed the Shen family's status in Falling City.

Jiang Chuan was the first to step out of the elevator, acting very much at home. He shouted loudly, "Uncle Shen! Auntie! I've come to see you with gifts! How have you been lately?"

Walking behind him, Shen Qingning whispered to her brother, "Xiao Chuan has changed a lot lately. He's much more cheerful. Last time he came, he was very restrained. This time, he seems more like a member of the Shen family than we do."

Shen Jincheng was also completely baffled. It had only been two days since he'd seen his friend, and the change was indeed massive.

"Maybe it's because he's become famous recently. He's more confident."

Mother Shen stood at the door to welcome them. Seeing him, she said with a smile, "You child, why did you bring gifts? Come in quickly, it's hot outside."

Shen Qingning shared a thirty percent resemblance with Mother Shen, Du Qingshu—heart-shaped face, large eyes—but their personalities were completely different. Mother Shen was gentle and generous, kind to everyone.

Jiang Chuan looked Mother Shen up and down with a look of surprise and exclaimed, "Auntie, how is it that every time I see you, you look younger than the last? You and Sister Ning are almost like sisters now."

Du Qingshu's smile deepened as she welcomed him in. "You and your sweet talk. You're also completely different from the last time we met. You were so shy back then."

Jiang Chuan placed the gifts on the table and smiled warmly. "I really am different. My eyesight is getting better and better; I noticed immediately that you've become younger and more beautiful."

"Haha, Xiao Jiang, you must stay for lunch. Auntie will cook for you personally."

Shen Qingning stood silently to the side, unsure of what was going on, and could only accompany the guest.

"I'm exactly here to scrounge a meal. Ever since I had your cooking, I've been wanting to come back."

Jiang Chuan continued, holding up the gifts, "Auntie, I bought you some honey, American ginseng, and things like that. You can have some regularly; it's good for your health."

Shen Jincheng, who followed behind and put the gifts on the table, felt his eye twitch at those words. This fellow Jiang Chuan was definitely up to something.
