126: Chapter 126 Favorability Soars

Zhao Feier turned her head toward the voice and met Lin Yi's gentle expression.

"Lin... Lin Yi, you're from Whale Live Streaming?"

Initially, Zhao Feier only thought Lin Yi was a wealthy young man.

She didn't expect him to be related to Whale Live Streaming.

Rumors online said the boss of Whale Live Streaming was young and promising. Could Lin Yi be...

Lin Yi nodded.

"I am the boss of Whale Live Streaming. I can fully make the call on this matter."

Qian Hongyuan and Joanna were also somewhat shocked upon hearing this news.

Whale Live Streaming had only been online for two days and already had such strong momentum; Qian Hongyuan had always thought there was a mysterious capital group operating behind it.

He didn't expect the boss of Whale Live Streaming to be the young man right in front of him!

Just what was this young man's background... to be able to create such a big stir!

Meanwhile, Joanna had a look of envy in her eyes.

She envied Zhao Feier's luck in landing such an outstanding man.

In terms of looks, Lin Yi's appearance was countless times better than Qian Hongyuan's.

Furthermore, this young man had tipped Zhao Feier twenty million.

One had to know that Joanna had followed Qian Hongyuan for so many years, yet her annual salary had only grown from the initial 150,000 to the current 500,000.

In private, Qian Hongyuan had hardly given her a single cent.

Comparing the two, the difference was stark.

Joanna began to feel resentful.

Why did Zhao Feier have such good luck?

While she could only serve someone like Qian Hongyuan...

"President Qian, if Zhao Feier wants to transfer to another platform, shouldn't she have to pay a penalty for breach of contract?"

Joanna suddenly had an idea, wanting to use the penalty to trap Zhao Feier.

Zhao Feier had previously signed a five-year contract with Hu-Yu Live, stating she couldn't transfer to other streaming platforms within those five years.

Otherwise, she would have to pay a high penalty fee.

Currently, Zhao Feier had only worked at Hu-Yu Live for three years, with two years still remaining.

Zhao Feier grew anxious upon hearing this.

"Aren't you the ones who want to fire me? Why should I have to pay a penalty fee!"

"The contract clearly states that unless I am the one taking the initiative to leave Hu-Yu Live, I don't need to pay a penalty!"

Qian Hongyuan sneered.

"Who can prove I'm firing you? Is there evidence in black and white?"

"I was only giving you a verbal warning."

"Now I've changed my mind. You stay at Hu-Yu Live, but I guarantee you won't get any traffic from now on!" Seeing Qian Hongyuan's rogue attitude, Zhao Feier was beyond furious.

"You!"

"Shameless!"

Seeing Zhao Feier puffing with rage, her chest heaving up and down.

Lin Yi timely pulled Zhao Feier to his side.

He then looked at Qian Hongyuan with a face full of disdain.

"How much is her penalty fee? I'll pay it for her!"

It was just giving money; what was the big deal!

Lin Yi was more than willing to give more.

Zhao Feier's favorability started at 50 Points; this was a golden opportunity to farm money delivered right to his door!

So what if he gave Qian Hongyuan some money? What he would get in return was dozens of times more!

As the saying goes, you might not lose, but I always make a killing!

Hearing Lin Yi willing to stand up for her, Zhao Feier was infinitely moved.

For the first time, she felt a sense of security from a man.

Previously, she always felt there was no such thing as kindness without reason in this world.

Usually, the other men she met were basically after something else from her.

Thus, she had always lived in a tense state, needing to be on guard against others at all times.

But Lin Yi, someone she had only met once, was actually willing to publicly state he would pay a massive penalty fee for her.

Were there really such good men in the world?

Zhao Feier: Favorability +10 Points.

Current Favorability: 60 Points.

"Ding! Detected an increase in favorability from the bound target, Zhao Feier. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 Points."

Lin Yi smiled; this favorability increase came at the perfect time.

This way, the Cashback Multiplier would be even higher in a moment.

This Zhao Feier is truly sensible!

Hearing Lin Yi's tone, Qian Hongyuan snorted coldly.

"If you're going to stand up for someone, at least consider the consequences."

"You didn't even ask how much her penalty fee is."

Lin Yi looked indifferent.

"It's just a penalty fee, how much could it be?"

"Look at you, acting like someone who's never seen the world!"

Hearing Lin Yi's sarcasm, Qian Hongyuan's face turned sour.

"Fine, you said it!"

"Then transfer the money now!"

"The penalty fee is forty million in total!"

When Zhao Feier signed the contract, it specified the penalty was twice the sum of all gift income she received during her time at Hu-Yu Live.

From the twenty million Lin Yi tipped a few days ago, Zhao Feier could get ten million.

Besides that, Zhao Feier had earned about eight or nine million over the past few years.

So adding it all up, the penalty was indeed forty million.

After stating this figure, Qian Hongyuan looked at Lin Yi triumphantly, waiting to see him look humiliated.

Beside them, Zhao Feier was also a bit worried; forty million was not a small sum.

Lin Yi's Whale Live Streaming was also in its startup phase, a time when money needed to be burned.

Surely Lin Yi wouldn't be able to produce such a large sum of money all at once.

"Lin Yi, I..."

Just as Zhao Feier was about to give Lin Yi a way out, Lin Yi burst out laughing.

"President Qian, the way you said it was so scary, I thought the penalty would be over a hundred million."

"Turns out it's only forty million!"

"It seems I wasn't wrong when I said you've never seen the world."

Lin Yi sighed in his heart.

He had originally hoped to use this opportunity to farm a large sum.

He didn't expect the penalty to be only forty million.

Lin Yi couldn't help but feel it was a pity.

"Give me the account number; I'll transfer it to you right now!"

Lin Yi took out his phone without the slightest hesitation.

Instead, it was Qian Hongyuan whose face turned blue and white.

For someone of his status, face was more important than anything else.

It was Joanna who whispered a reminder from the side.

"President Qian, just give him the account number. Anyway, we won't lose out if we get the penalty fee."

Qian Hongyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and give the company account number to Lin Yi.

A second later, Lin Yi's forty million was transferred over.

"Ding! Spent 40 million yuan for the cashback target; target's favorability is 60 Points."

"The Cashback Multiplier is being randomly generated..."

"Generated. The Cashback Multiplier is 58 times."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a cashback of 2.32 billion yuan!"

Lin Yi put away his phone with satisfaction and raised an eyebrow at Qian Hongyuan.

"Alright, President Qian. From now on, Zhao Feier is mine."

"I also hope you won't speak rudely to her again."

"I believe a big boss like you wouldn't be so lacking in manners!"

His face flushed red, Qian Hongyuan turned and entered the Banquet Hall with Joanna without saying a word.

Meanwhile, a massive wave of emotion surged within Zhao Feier.

She didn't expect Lin Yi would throw away forty million just to stand up for her.

And that last sentence Lin Yi said to Qian Hongyuan.

"Zhao Feier is mine..."

This sentence gave Zhao Feier a complete sense of security.

Zhao Feier: Favorability +10 Points.

Zhao Feier: Favorability +10 Points.

Zhao Feier: Favorability +10 Points.

Current Favorability: 90 Points.

"Ding! Detected an increase in favorability from the bound target, Zhao Feier. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a 30-point reward."

Lin Yi nodded at Zhao Feier with satisfaction.

Then he looked at the female celebrity, Tang Ruowei, who had been silently watching the drama, and said:

"The banquet should be starting soon; let's the three of us head in together!"
