Chapter 50 Unexpected Wealth, Not Taking It Is a Crime

Guo Zerui is known as one of the "Eight Young Masters of Beijing" and is quite popular online because of his outspokenness and frequent changes of girlfriends.

Even without Lu Nanting, paparazzi still keep catching him and taking pictures.

Because it was a screen recording, "Swift Swordsman" hadn't turned on the game notification sound, so not only were his chat contents completely exposed, but the four accounts he teamed up with were also dug up by netizens.

The other two kept a low profile and were not identified as being mentioned.

On the contrary, Guo Zerui was recognized quickly because he often played duo queue with his ex-girlfriend, who was a game streamer, using this account.

In fact, his dating history is too clear. Once you find the time period when the two of them were together, you can quickly find his account in the female streamer's chat history.

Guo Zerui's current girlfriend sells clothes and has a nice-sounding title: brand manager.

Having wasted her time with Lu Nanting, she immediately put on a delicate and timid peach blossom makeup and started crying during a live stream online.

While crying, she subtly showed off the new clothes in the store and uploaded links without making a sound.

"They're all girls from good families; who doesn't want a long-lasting relationship?"

While speaking, she accidentally knocked over a water glass, soaking her clothes, and left the camera crying.

Two minutes later, she quickly changed her outfit, apologized, and returned to the camera.

"Which clothing brand am I wearing? Of course, I designed it myself."

"Sorry, everyone, I'm really not in the mood to sell clothes today."

"I'm so sorry, I know it's very beautiful and ethereal. I'm sorry, please don't ask anymore. It's a newly released model, and it's not available in the store yet, so you won't be able to get it in person."

"Waaah, I know you feel sorry for me and hate me for being so useless, but what can I do when faced with such an unexpected disaster?"

"Waaaaah, you guys are so good to me. Thank you for your love."

"You really love this outfit, don't you?"
"The sample was just made, and it's the only one I'm wearing. My sisters really want it, so I have to urge the factory to speed up the production."

"You all know that my factory has limited production capacity. We really can't produce any more. How about we only order a thousand pieces? Otherwise, the workshop workers will be exhausted."

"It's so hot outside, can't you please have some compassion for them?"

With the link 321 up, a thousand orders sold out in seconds.

She kept her word and really didn't restock after selling out.

Gu Lanxi clicked on it and took a look.

A chiffon puff-sleeved blouse costs 399; a thousand of them would cost approximately 400,000.

Wow, just a few minutes.

Even after deducting costs, we can still make at least half the profit.

It has to be said that Gu Lanxi was sometimes quite tempted.

If there weren't more respectable, easier, and more suitable ways to make money for her, she probably would have tried it too.

The live stream was going well; after selling one item of clothing, she didn't continue talking about it. Instead, with tears in her eyes, she began to recount her hardships again:
"I feel wronged, not for any other reason than to get an apology. Just because we're not married but in a proper relationship, does that mean it's not a legitimate relationship and that we should be looked down upon?"

“I know my boyfriend is outstanding and comes from a well-off family. I just come from an ordinary family. I thought that as long as I worked harder, I could be worthy of him… But the truth is that no matter how hard I try, the gap between our classes is insurmountable.”

"I really want to say, I didn't steal or rob, I was just dating someone my age that I liked, why should I be treated like this?"

"But reality slapped me in the face—it turns out that if he's with me, his friends will ridicule him, and he'll be looked down upon because of me. Waaah...it's so cruel..."

It must be said that the girl cried beautifully, and she spoke beautifully as well.

With red eyes and a red nose, she doesn't swear, but speaks gently and reasonably, which is truly not offensive.

After crying for a while, she naturally raised her sleeve to wipe her tears.

She was really going all out; she managed to rub a bunch of black marks onto her pristine white sleeves from the mascara.

Her makeup got ruined too.

Gu Lanxi had never watched a live stream by internet celebrities before, nor did she know much about their tricks, but she became engrossed in watching and was reluctant to leave.

The girl went downstairs to change her clothes, and didn't forget to remove her makeup at the same time.

When she appeared with no makeup, looking as fresh and natural as a lotus flower, her eyes were filled with anxiety and pity.

"I'm afraid you'll get impatient waiting, and my makeup will be ruined before I can redo it. Even if a girl is unhappy, she should still try to look beautiful, so I'll just do a live makeup tutorial."

"I won't talk about unhappy things, it'll affect everyone's mood. My makeup skills aren't very good, so please don't laugh at me~"

Just as she was about to sit down, the comments section asked about her dress again.

Okay, another heartfelt confession. That's all, here's the link.

"Genuine mulberry silk, a high-end product that retails for over 3,000 yuan, is offered at a fair price of only 588 yuan in our live stream. If you don't like it after receiving it, you can return it! If the size is wrong, you can return it! If there are any quality issues, you can return it!"

“Everyone has known me for so many years and knows what kind of person I am. I never speak ill of anyone, nor do I do anything against my conscience. I have always conducted business with integrity and strived to live my life to the fullest. I believe that hard work will eventually be recognized.”

Okay, and just like that, the link went live, and 10,000 orders sold out in seconds.

More than five million! And it took less than three minutes!
After selling clothes, the person sat down and started selling cosmetics while applying makeup.

Eyebrow pencils for 9.9 yuan, beauty blenders given away for purchases over 300 yuan, essential sunscreen for summer, breathable, easy-to-apply, and non-greasy base makeup...

Gu Lanxi resisted the urge to place an order, clutched her chest, and immediately left the live stream.

If she broadcasts for 20 days a month and generates 10 million yuan in sales each day, she would still earn 20 million yuan a month, even with the lowest commission rate of 10%.

I heard that the highest commission can be as high as 50%, but I don't know if it's true?
Having witnessed firsthand how quickly internet celebrities make money, Gu Lanxi, who was overjoyed this morning by nearly 200 million yuan in transactions, now feels no joy at all.

After paying taxes, a project that had lasted for several years only brought her a little over 100 million in revenue. It was far too slow and far too little!
A gifted young girl, a rising star in the financial world, shattered her life simply by witnessing a livestreaming prodigy selling products, yet the internet buzzed with excitement.

Guo Zerui is unwilling to marry into a family and has lived a rather dissolute life over the years, seemingly destined to be obsessed with internet celebrities for a hundred years.

Speaking of which, he's a month or two younger than Lu Nanting, and his number of ex-girlfriends with names and surnames is currently number nineteen.

That's really something; he hasn't been idle since he became an adult.

The current girlfriend has gained popularity through live streaming and her sales are soaring. How could the ex-girlfriends not try to ride on her coattails?

This is like a windfall!
"What does this have to do with being materialistic? Guo Zerui is a good catch; he'd be considered a top-quality boyfriend anywhere. Isn't it normal to like him? Among my suitors, some are fat and ugly, while others are short, poor, and unattractive. Why would I turn down someone better? That's ridiculous."

"If I had known that dating him would lead to us breaking up almost two years ago and being looked down upon by his friends, I would have preferred not to date him at all."

"Honestly, I've never seen such an uncouth man. He even criticizes his best friend's girlfriend."

"I really don't know what kind of goddess he married that he looks down on other people's girlfriends all the time."

"I'm holding my breath right now, and I'm not going to care about manners anymore. I'm telling you this: if there's anything wrong with his wife, I'll immediately start criticizing her!"

……

A bunch of people came out to ride the wave of popularity, and the onlookers were like choosing a concubine. For a moment, they couldn't tell whether the beauty's crying was more beautiful or the nobleman's cursing was more pleasing to the ear.

Everyone is really busy.

While enjoying the joke, they also left comments mocking it:
[To put it nicely, he's my boyfriend; to put it bluntly, it's all just giggles~]

[You all call yourselves the empress, but have you ever actually seen Lu Nanting's wife? Haha, you probably wouldn't even get a seat at a banquet. Oh, by the way, banquets aren't for you. Hahaha~]

[Don't you even realize that you internet celebrities think you can marry into the Guo family? You must be out of your mind!]

……

There are all kinds of people online.

Similar words are everywhere; just imagine how heartbreaking it would be for these people to see them.

Even though he cried so much that his false eyelashes fell off, no one turned off the live stream.

This is probably what is meant by "It is a sin not to accept wealth and honor bestowed by heaven".

After all, being criticized for a while is nothing to worry about once you get over it, but missing out on a great opportunity to make big money will definitely make you regret it for the rest of your life!

To be honest, many of Guo Zerui's girlfriends are very capable and discerning. If he had just focused a little more, any one of them would have been a good match for him.

I can't bring myself to dislike these girls at all.

Guo Zerui is good-looking, comes from a good family, has a lot of online attention, and is very generous after breaking up with someone. Just having a short relationship with him can bring you things that you might not be able to get even after years of hard work. Anyone would be tempted.

There's a shortcut to winning over a man.

In fact, sometimes, isn't beauty a scarce resource?
As long as you don't act like a third party or do anything immoral, and you just have a serious relationship for a few months, it's like a highly lucrative job.

It's really good.
