Chapter 960 His Skill Remains Undiminished
"Hehe, serves you right. Who told you to never take me with you when you go out drinking..." Li Yuqing said slowly.
"What's the point of bringing you along when I'm out picking up girls?" Shi Tao lit a cigarette.
"No smoking in the house!" Li Yuqing sat up from the sofa when she heard the sound of a lighter, then pointed to the door.
"I'll smoke, I'll smoke, this is my home." Shi Tao completely ignored him.
"This is my home too!" Li Yuqing said angrily, hands on her hips.
"Forget it, you haven't paid me the rent yet. You can move out next month." Shi Tao took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"You're so stingy, no woman will be interested in you. I don't think your real estate sales job is going to be easy. You might as well change careers." Li Yuqing quickly changed the subject when the topic of rent came up.
"Then what do you want me to do?"
“I think that car from Dadao Group will sell very well. Why don’t you switch to selling electric cars? They’re pretty much the same anyway.”
"The car hasn't even been launched yet, what's the point of me selling it?"
"You could try selling mobile phones first."
Why aren't you going!
"I'd like to go, but my family won't let me. This is a Chinese-owned company, you know, a secure job!"
"How much commission can you get from selling phones? I'm not going. I don't think you can come up with anything good. If you had any good ideas, you wouldn't be struggling to pay the rent, would you?" Shi Tao raised an eyebrow at Li Yuqing provocatively.
"Who says I can't think of it? I'm just too lazy to do it."
"Oh?"
Seeing that Shi Tao didn't believe her, Li Yuqing picked up her phone and skipped over.
Li Yuqing opened several live streaming platforms and then quickly scrolled down the pages.
The first screen that popped up showed a male anchor with a full beard wearing pink cat-ear headphones, shouting into the microphone with a flushed face.
In the game, the character he was controlling had just jumped off the plane and before the parachute could even open, he was smashed into a death box in mid-air with a frying pan.
"Family members! This is definitely cheating! I'm flying in the sky, and he's flying in the sky with a pot too, is this reasonable? We have to report this!" The male streamer slammed his keyboard, shouting at the top of his lungs. The screen was instantly flooded with comments like "Master Chef, this is terrible" and "Big Noob Dog".
Li Yuqing swiped her finger and switched to a live stream room next door that was even more popular.
In the scene, a young man who looks like a baboon is slamming his fist on the table. A red kill notification has just popped up on the game screen, and the character he is controlling is holding a black frying pan.
"See that? That's pure skill! I shot him down from mid-air with one shot! I didn't cheat! Anyone who says I cheat, raise your hand!" The young man roared into the microphone, his spittle flying everywhere under the camera's light.
The screen swipes again quickly, switching to the next trending recommendation.
The beauty filters in this live stream were pushed to the limit, making the female streamer's chin appear exaggeratedly sharp. As she moved, even the security door in the background seemed to distort, appearing and disappearing in different sizes.
"Thank you so much to my number one fan for those ten rockets! Mwah! What would you like to hear today, sir? I'll have you covered with a disco version of 'Calorie'!" The female streamer said in a high-pitched, coquettish voice, casually pulling two red ribbons from under the table and wildly swaying them to the deafeningly loud, corny electronic music. The shrill singing blasted from the phone's speaker, making it seem like the roof was about to be blown off.
"Is this what you're talking about? I thought it was some new idea! I remember your dad sued a live-streaming company before, and he lost, I think. I heard the streamer had to pay a lot of money! Are you asking me to make money or give money away?" Shi Tao rolled his eyes.
Making money through live streaming has been around for a long time, and Shi Tao used to watch it often, like Dota competitions.
"It's different. Before, live streaming relied on tips and advertising fees. Now, you can make money by selling products!" Li Yuqing said with a look of disappointment.
"Live-streaming sales? What kind of sales?" Shi Tao scratched his head.
"Now that you're popular and have more fans, you can ask businesses to help you sell their products. Your fans will definitely buy them."
"Live streaming? I don't have any advantage in that."
"You're quite handsome, aren't you? You always manage to pick up girls easily. I remember you played guitar back in school, and you were pretty good at games too. Aren't those your special talents and advantages?"
"Haha, so you admit I'm handsome too." Shi Tao laughed loudly after hearing this.
Since I met Li Yuqing, she has never mentioned the word "handsome," while other girls all praise him for being good-looking.
Although Shi Tao was poor, he was never short of women because of his good looks.
"You have a certain air about you, not that you're handsome. I misspoke just now," Li Yuqing explained, blushing.
"Then why don't you do live streaming?" Shi Tao looked the woman in front of him up and down.
Li Yuqing's face is indeed flawless, especially after she returned to China and had some minor cosmetic procedures done. She also regularly visits beauty clinics without fail, resulting in smooth and delicate skin.
However, if you move your gaze down a little further, the curve below the collar becomes slightly flatter, which is a minor flaw.
"I...I...those female streamers all play on the edge, I don't know how," Li Yuqing stammered.
"You still don't know how? Back in school, you were smarter than anyone else, always thinking about how to hook up with men. Yeah... I still remember that Tian Gou, he was always clinging to you like a lapdog. Such an honest and simple guy would definitely be bewitched by your tricks. If you really started a live stream, just sat in front of the camera, and used some of your old tricks, those rich and gullible guys online would definitely line up to shower you with virtual rockets. You could sit at home counting money until your hands cramped, and you wouldn't need to come here every day to avoid paying rent to me." Shi Tao exhaled a puff of smoke, tilting his head and teasing.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuqing flew into a rage, grabbing Shi Tao by the collar: "Shi Tao, you bastard, how dare you talk to me like that!"
As he spoke, he was about to throw a punch.
"Look at you, you resort to violence when you can't win an argument, you're not acting like a woman at all." Shi Tao was traumatized by Li Yuqing back in his school days.
As soon as the other person raised their hand, he closed his eyes and instinctively reached out to block.
"Alright, I'm not messing around with you anymore. I'm serious, we're both broke right now, one of us has to go and make money. Let's be realistic. You're a man, you know what to do, right?" After a long while, the punch that was supposed to land didn't come out, and Li Yuqing's voice came through the air.
"What kind of theory is that? Why don't you go and make the money? Isn't it supposed to be ladies first?" Shi Tao sneered.
“You…you…” Li Yuqing pointed at his body, trembling with anger.
"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm not your father, why should I spoil you?" Shi Tao was usually surrounded by women trying to please him, so naturally he wouldn't do what Tian Gou did.
"Hmph." After holding it in for a while, Li Yuqing didn't say much, and could only walk back to the sofa and sit down in a huff.
After Shi Tao finished his cigarette, she finally spoke up: "How about... we work together?"
New House.
Huade Technology, inside the chairman's office.
Chen Yifeng was sitting attentively in front of his chair, fiddling with his computer. On the sofa next to him, Shi Danai glanced at his empty tea leaves, stood up, and went to the water dispenser to refill his cup.
He walked along, sipping his tea, and glanced at the man in front of him: "Old Chen, isn't it too late for you to learn this now?"
"Hmph, do you think I'm like you? If you don't understand, you don't learn..." Chen Yifeng didn't even lift his eyelids.
"I don't understand? I'm a software developer!" Shi Danai laughed until his stomach hurt.
"That's just making a game." Chen Yifeng blushed.
“Well, I know more about computers than you do. Old Chen, don’t worry too much about your Second Factory. I’ll teach you a trick: get a representative position like me. These days, many entrepreneurs have this get-out-of-jail-free card; they can’t be arrested or punished arbitrarily. If you had this representative status before, how could the Second Factory have been lost?” Shi Danai walked to the table and raised an eyebrow at him.
"What exactly do you want from me today? Our relationship wasn't very good before." Chen Yifeng put down the mouse and stared at Shi Danai.
"Of course I came here to see you. You see, we're both in a bad situation right now, how about we work together?"
"What kind of cooperation would we have? What could we possibly do together? Sell counterfeit medicine? Make games?"
Chen Yifeng picked up his cup and took a sip of tea.
"Look at what you're saying. You can't just slander things you don't like. I sell health products and cultural and entertainment products."
"Haha, you're quite the talker."
"I'm serious, I'm short on cash right now. You know I withdrew from Ming Sheng Bank and Jianghuai Bank. My group has many businesses now, including a financial sector. You should still have some funds on hand..."
"So you came here today to borrow money. Do you think I'd lend it to you?"
"It's not a loan, it's a collaborative investment..." Shi Danai sat down on the table, bent over, and earnestly explained the details of the collaboration.
Meanwhile, at Chen Yifeng's home.
Zhang Xuan stood at the door, trying to appear calm as she looked at the law enforcement officers in front of her.
"Excuse me, does Chen Yifeng live here?" one of the women asked.
"Yes... what are you going to do..." Zhang Xuan stammered as she nodded.
"We're looking for him to ask about something."
"Did he do something wrong?"
"No, don't worry. We found his lost items, but he's not answering his phone. We got through to him once before, and he said we were scammers. There might be some misunderstanding..." The woman said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
"Oh... what did you lose?" Zhang Xuan asked knowingly.
"You are him..."
"I am his lover."
"Oh, so young. I thought he was already... no, no, no, some of Mr. Chen's antiques were stolen and transferred to Shanghai for trading, and we caught him red-handed."
"Who stole it?" Zhang Xuan became increasingly nervous, her hands sweating.
“It’s a guy named Wu Zu, but he has accomplices. We just want to investigate what Wu Zu’s relationship is with Mr. Chen. Is Mr. Chen home?” The woman looked into the house, wanting to talk to Chen Yifeng directly, but she could only hear children’s voices upstairs.
“I don’t know him! Did they only arrest him? He’s not home.” Zhang Xuan shook her head.
"Oh, where is he now?"
"I don't know. He's usually very busy with his business and is often not home," Zhang Xuan replied calmly.
"Okay. Could you please call him now? He might not answer an unknown number, since there are a lot of scammers around these days and everyone is very wary."
"Huh? Oh, okay." Zhang Xuan was immediately flustered upon hearing this. In order not to give herself away, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go get her phone.
Seeing that everyone at the door was staring at her, Zhang Xuan had no choice but to make the phone call in front of them.
She breathed a sigh of relief when her phone rang for a long time without being answered.
"They're probably busy. Should I call you and let you know?" Zhang Xuan forced a smile.
The woman nodded after listening, gave the number, and then left with her entourage.
After the door closed, Zhang Xuan collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
She knew that Wu Yan's younger brother, A Zu, had been arrested, but she didn't know if Wu Yan himself had been arrested.
However, judging from the current situation, even if Wu Yan was arrested, she didn't expose her, otherwise she would have been taken away by someone just now.
What to do, what to do!
My parents' visas haven't come through yet.
Zhang Xuan was in a panic.
After holding it in for a long time, she finally made a decision: she would slip away first!
At this point, the law enforcement vehicle drove out of the villa area.
"Captain Liao, aren't we going back?" the woman who had spoken to Zhang Xuan earlier asked, looking at the navigation.
"Let's go check out Chen Yifeng's company first," the man in the passenger seat said with his eyes closed.
"Huh? Didn't we have his wife notify them for us?"
“You’re new to this job and don’t know anything. How can you explain such a big case over the phone? Of course, you have to go and talk to the person in person. You’ve come all this way to Xinlu, and you’re going back without even seeing the person? This case was solved by us in Shanghai, you know what I mean!” The captain kept his eyes closed.
The woman was still completely confused, so her colleague who was driving couldn't help but laugh and explain, "Just think how valuable the things we helped Chen Yifeng find are! If a big boss like him is in a good mood, he might just give the bureau a little something. My desk is practically broken, don't you think?"
"What do you mean? We still haven't caught any accomplices. We're going to find out more details. Also, this Chen Yifeng is really outrageous. He won't even answer our calls. If I see him in person, I'm going to give him a good lesson in manners. Don't think you can look down on everyone just because you have some money. This isn't abroad!" The captain looked serious, but the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed as they turned up.
"Oh, I see. Captain, I heard that rich people are stingy. Could he just be sending us a banner? You know, this old guy is really something, at his age he still finds someone so young... I think that woman was about the same age as his daughter, and about my age too..." The woman started gossiping.
"Haha, you think he's too old? Didn't you hear those two kids playing upstairs just now? He's still got it! He pulled out two at once." The colleague driving couldn't help but laugh.
"All you ever do is tell dirty jokes! I really don't know how you even got dressed like that." The woman blushed and gave a coquettish rebuke.
"Haha, Xiao Liu, what did I say? You seem to know quite a lot." The driver glanced at himself in the rearview mirror. (End of Chapter)
