57: Chapter 57 Conserving Energy

Inside the hotel's Western restaurant.

Zhang Shan had changed into his newly bought clothes and was dining with Peach, who was wearing a white princess dress.

Zhang Shan took a sip of red wine and asked, "How is it? Do you like this dress?"

Peach squirmed a bit uncomfortably and said, "Um, Brother Qingshan, I do like it, but this dress doesn't seem very suitable for wearing outside."

Zhang Shan looked embarrassed, but quickly covered it up and said, "Don't worry about what others think. They're just jealous of you. I think you look great in it."

Hearing Brother Qingshan say this, Peach's awkwardness immediately vanished.

As long as Brother Qingshan likes it, that's all that matters.

After saying that, Zhang Shan thought for a moment and added, "Actually, this outfit would probably look even better in the Livestream Room."

Peach: ?

This princess dress was actually something Zhang Shan had asked the female butler to change into; he had been inspired by 006, which is why he thought of getting this one.

Regarding the 006 incident, the head of the Operations Department had gone through Brother Yuanzhang to get in touch with Zhang Shan.

They informed Zhang Shan of their disciplinary results and explained the whole sequence of events to him.

The operator for 006, Xiao Wang, was fired immediately, others had their monthly bonuses deducted, and the Livestream Room was suspended for three days for rectification.

This was the punishment they handed down; even the head of the Operations Department had their monthly bonus deducted.

Zhang Shan didn't care about the punishment at all; how they handled it was an internal company matter and had nothing to do with him.

What he was concerned about was that the clothes those five people from 006 were wearing were actually sent by a big shot.

No wonder.

Hearing Zhang Shan's words, Peach stopped worrying about the dress issue.

She used a table knife to spear a piece of French foie gras for Zhang Shan and said, "Brother Qingshan, this is quite delicious, try it."

Zhang Shan tasted a bite and then said, "Hmm, it's indeed not bad, but my verdict is that it's not as good as the grilled kidneys at the night market."

"Haha, Brother Qingshan, you really know how to joke. You must rarely go to the night market to think it's so delicious."

Peach covered her mouth and laughed, amused by Zhang Shan's remark.

How could night market grilled kidneys compare to the authentic foie gras in this Western restaurant?

Hearing Peach say this, Zhang Shan didn't argue. He speared a piece of steak and handed it to her, saying, "Then you should try this steak too."

Peach cut a small piece, put it in her mouth, and said with a smile, "Hehe, following Brother Qingshan's logic, my verdict is that this steak isn't as good as the mud stove barbecue in Xita."

"Eh, you have taste."

Zhang Shan gave Peach a thumbs up; truly, great minds think alike.

"Haha."

After happily finishing dinner, Zhang Shan took Peach back to his room.

Peach changed back into the clothes she arrived in and carefully packed away the expensive princess dress.

Then she walked over, hugged Zhang Shan, and asked, "Brother Qingshan, can I come to see you again in the future?"

Actually, Peach already knew Zhang Shan's real name, but she just felt that calling him Brother Qingshan felt closer.

"Of course. Whenever I'm free, you can come see me."

"Mm, then I'm going back. Mua."

In fact, Peach didn't really want to leave, but she was feeling a bit unwell; Brother Qingshan was too intense, and she simply couldn't handle it.

So she had no choice but to leave, albeit reluctantly.

After seeing Peach off, Zhang Shan checked the time; it was almost 7 o'clock.

Miaomiao's flight wouldn't arrive until 8 o'clock, and the hotel's private car picking her up would mean she'd likely arrive past 9 o'clock.

He could use this time to rest and recuperate.

Zhang Shan opened the system panel and first checked Peach's information.

[Host: Peach]

[Age: 20]

[Height: 164cm]

[Weight: 100 jin]

[Appearance: 86]

[Figure: 88 (C)]

[Charm: 87]

[Status: Healthy]

[Affection: 100 (max)]

Peach's affection had already reached the maximum value of 100 points.

Zhang Shan wasn't surprised by this; he had enough confidence in himself.

He took another look at the reward given by the system for reaching 100 points of affection.

[Wealth Team: Can solve all problems related to money.]

It looked pretty impressive, but he didn't know what it was actually like.

The Wealth Team wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, so he would ask about it then.

With nothing else to do, Zhang Shan decided to browse the livestream for a while.

Originally, he had planned to give Energetic Girls more support today, but after being "fed" by Peach, he had completely forgotten.

Forget it, he'd deal with it tomorrow.

Zhang Shan opened Douyin and habitually entered the Livestream Room of Brilliant 101.

[Urban Ranger Qingshan makes a dazzling entrance]

Host Dazhuang: "Welcome home, Emperor Shan. Come, bring out the grand entrance."

Yesterday, Zhang Shan had gone on a rampage in 006, casting 30 million votes; a new emperor had descended.

As the big shot of 101, achieving such an impressive record in another Livestream Room made them all feel proud.

Therefore, 101 had prepared a new grand entrance animation early on, just waiting for Brother Qingshan to come so they could show it to him.

Unexpectedly, right after the animation was finished, Brother Qingshan arrived.

The overall grand entrance animation was similar to the original, but the frozen frame at the end had an added circle of people worshipping, and the text had been changed to "Welcome Emperor Shan."

The girls who were dancing on stage saw the animation start playing on the big screen, immediately stopped, ran to the side, and picked up party poppers.

Hu Hu, who had just arrived at 101 today as a visiting guest, saw everyone else running to grab party poppers and followed suit by grabbing one herself.

The animation ended, and the girls in the Livestream Room stood in a row, facing the camera, and pulled the party poppers.

Although Hu Hu was half a beat slow, it didn't affect the overall effect.

Hu Hu was a host from Cuican 303; for this visiting week, she had been pushed out by 303 to serve as a visiting guest.

Previously, she had been very unwilling, but who told her to lose at rock-paper-scissors?

However, she was now very glad that she had become a visiting guest.

Because just yesterday, when she was a visiting guest at 009, she had actually received support from a new big shot.

Cuican Guild had a special rule for this visiting week: visiting guests didn't have to stay in the visiting group. If a visiting guest won first place in the day's PK, they would continue to go to other groups as a visiting guest.

Yesterday, with the support of the new big shot, Hu Hu had taken first place, and today she was arranged to be a visiting guest at 101.

Hu Hu had also heard about the 006 incident yesterday and was quite curious about this Brother Qingshan.

However, she hadn't expected 101 to value this Brother Qingshan so much.

Then again, it was understandable; after finally having a tycoon big shot appear, why wouldn't they value him?

Wasn't she the same with that new big shot?

Zhang Shan saw that 101 had actually prepared another grand welcome ceremony for him and immediately sent a floating screen message.

[lv67 Qingshan: Haha, done well, here's a reward!] (Floating Screen)
