450: Are they looking for me?

President Xu curiously asked the question on his mind.

He had never quite understood the relationships between women.

Some appeared very close but had only known each other for a few months;

Others, who had been best friends since childhood, met like strangers.

Women truly were unfathomable creatures.

"We only met last year," Zhao Qian replied, taking over the conversation.

She first saw Yu Waner in a livestream and initially thought she was a cold and difficult person to get along with.

But seeing her impressive skills and unique strategies, Zhao Qian decided to follow her account on a whim.

The more she watched, the more she realized that Yu Waner was truly amazing, not only talented but also incredibly diligent and serious.

Compared to her own type of 'idiot' female gamer, who relied on small tricks, Yu Waner was a natural partner!

Slowly, they became regular gaming teammates.

Combined with Yu Waner's fondness for beautiful women, their relationship grew closer through conversation.

After they became familiar, they discovered that their families were somewhat acquainted.

However, neither of them wanted to get involved in family internal struggles, so they only played games together, maintained a good personal friendship, and avoided excessive entanglement.

In fact, with Yu Waner's current popularity, the gifts received in her livestream had long been worth hundreds of millions, yet she had never withdrawn a single penny!

Aside from the mandatory monthly base salary the platform deposited into her account, all other profit shares remained untouched in the account.

After listening to Zhao Qian's explanation, President Xu was deep in thought.

If in the future the Aoyou Tianxia Company could also gather a group of top Streamers in the livestreaming field who possessed both personal ability and social influence, then the potential impact would be immeasurable!

Bang, bang, bang!

Just as President Xu was lost in thought, there was a knock at the private room door.

A waitress wearing a traditional qipao walked in.

President Xu's expression remained unchanged, but Zhao Qian frowned when she saw that there was indeed no one behind her.

She frequented this place and knew very well that they wouldn't be disturbed unless it was something extremely important.

All the dishes had been served, they hadn't pressed the service bell, and no friends were expected to visit.

This kind of casual entry into a client's private room was a sign that even the most basic training hadn't been done well!

Although the Asia-Pacific Restaurant's prices weren't top-tier, it was still a high-end establishment among second-tier restaurants. So why were even the most basic service standards not being met?

The moment the waitress pushed open the door and walked in, she was startled by the aura emanating from Zhao Qian.

But she still suppressed her unease, closed the door, and cautiously took a few steps forward.

Actually, she didn't want to disturb them either, but the situation was too urgent!

"President Xu, there are so many people in the main lobby outside right now, and it seems they're all looking for you!"

After speaking, the waitress took out her phone from her pocket and opened the video she had just taken.

The spacious lobby, originally used for reception and display, was now packed with people, densely crowded, with no room to even set foot.

Among the crowd, some wore suits and ties or evening gowns, looking very formal, while others were mixed in wearing pajamas or ordinary clothes as if they had just stepped out to buy groceries.

However, strangely, people didn't reject each other due to different clothing styles; instead, they smiled, conversed in low voices, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

"What's going on?" Zhao Qian asked subconsciously.

"After you all entered, people started gathering in the lobby one after another. At first, we didn't intend to disturb your meal, but now there are just too many people, and the entrance is almost completely blocked."

The waitress patiently explained.

If these people were just standing still, they could be guided to rest in the shops next door.

But all these people had ordered food, and now they were our customers!

The revenue for this afternoon alone had increased fivefold!

"They're looking for me?" President Xu frowned slightly.

Among the group of people in the video, he recognized only two or three; the rest were complete strangers.

The majority were female, with only a small portion being male; the age range was also wide, with the youngest looking very young and the oldest already over forty.

What could they possibly want with him?

After much thought, President Xu still couldn't figure out the cause and effect behind this.

"Ah! I remember now!" Zhao Qian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly became excited.

The video frame at the fifth second showed a familiar face—it was the gray-clothed man who had spoken to them at the entrance earlier!

The fact that the gray-clothed man could be connected to so many people indicated something.

Their objective was definitely the same!

Otherwise, why would they be willing to humble themselves and wait here?

To make so many prominent people patiently stake out this place, their motives wouldn't be much different from mine—none of it is as simple as it seems on the surface!

"What did you find?" Yu Waner asked with a bewildered expression.

Seeing the alternating red and pale expression on Zhao Qian's face, her intuition told her that something was amiss!

This was her first time meeting Zhao Qian.

But Yu Waner hadn't told Zhao Qian that she was having lunch with President Xu in a private room.

How did Zhao Qian know she was here?

If Zhao Qian could track her location, and so many unfamiliar faces had appeared outside...

Could it be... "Hey, you didn't happen to come here after watching my livestream, did you?" Yu Waner blurted out.

She was famously unable to keep secrets, speaking whatever was on her mind.

Exposed in public, Zhao Qian knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she nodded in admission.

As soon as she nodded, she instinctively took two steps back, afraid that Yu Waner might beat her in a fit of rage.

After all, she had seen her gritting her teeth on screen many times during livestreams.

"Those people came because of my livestream, right?" Yu Waner first looked at Zhao Qian, then at President Xu, a hint of guilt rising in her heart.

This situation clearly resulted from her actions.

If it were just her being blocked, it wouldn't matter, but President Xu's time was precious!

Moreover, she wasn't sure if President Xu would hold a grudge and retaliate later through other means.

She truly couldn't afford it!

"Just before you ended your livestream, the camera accidentally reflected something, and we saw the words 'Asia-Pacific' in your glasses..." Zhao Qian replied in a low voice.

Actually, she had also sent messages in advance asking for the specific address, but unfortunately, Yu Waner was preoccupied with President Xu at the time and didn't even look at her phone, let alone reply to messages.

She now had at least a hundred unread messages from a dozen contacts.

"You called me during your livestream, didn't you?" President Xu suddenly spoke up.

Although he had suspected it for a while, he decided to lay out the fact to gain more leverage in controlling Yu Waner.

As long as she was willing to proactively join the Aoyou Tianxia Company, it would be much more efficient than forcibly inviting her.

"How can you put it all that way? I really forgot I was still livestreaming at the time!"
