After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 10 Dawn and Dusk
"You want to do a part-time job?" Li Yubai probed.

Making money makes me happy.

Li Yubai laughed: "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know." Jiang Shu pondered. "Today, a classmate suggested that I plan my life, but I don't seem to have any ambitions. I don't want to study abroad, I don't want to study some boring foreign language, and I don't want to study hard and become a slave in a big company..."

“Indeed, none of these are suitable for our Master Jiang.” Li Yubai said seriously, “Master Jiang’s life doesn’t need to be defined; he can just do whatever he wants.”

“I don’t carry the expectations of others—the people in my village just want me to live.”

Li Yubai picked up the part-time job list: "Brother Jiang...why don't you try out all of these?"

"I don't like being an internet celebrity and trying to please others."

“Then let others please you,” Li Yubai said softly. “When selling things that are expensive but have no market, you don’t need to show your face. Just put the items there, and you’re the boss.”

Jiang Shu was somewhat tempted: "What are you selling?"

"As long as it's something that only you have and no one else has, it'll be fine." Li Yubai paused for a moment. "I have a bunch of small items that are unique. Why don't you try them out?"

"This……"

"Give it to you for free—you'll be throwing it away sooner or later anyway."

Jiang Shu coughed lightly: "Then I'll reluctantly give it a try—which live streaming platform should I choose?"

“I own one of these companies. If you’re a generous benefactor, the platform won’t take a cut from your commission.”

Jiang Shu coughed lightly twice: "That's so embarrassing."

"It's already an honor for us that Mr. Jiang came to our platform. How could we dare to talk about money? We also have a lot of live streaming equipment that's just gathering dust. Why don't you take it as well?"

Jiang Shu took out her phone with a reserved air, her expression delighted: "What's the platform app called? I'll download it now."

"...Under maintenance, it will be available this weekend." Li Yubai pondered, "As for the name, let's call it Morning and Evening."

The sun is for dawn, the moon for dusk, and you are for every dawn and dusk.

Li Yubai looked at the girl in front of him. Even though they were so close, he didn't dare to even reach out and touch her. "You can deliver food or drive a taxi. I have a used car that's not in use and I'm worried about it taking up space. If you, my benefactor, are willing to help me get rid of it, that would be great."

Jiang Shu's eyes sparkled: "This...isn't this inappropriate?"

"When did Mr. Jiang become so polite?" Li Yubai said lightly. "I originally had a large batch of takeout orders that I was looking for partners for—"

Jiang Shu grabbed his hand: "Give it to me! Give it all to me!"

Li Yubai's heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Shu belatedly looked at his hand:
"Your hands are so cold—like a dead person's?"

Li Yubai stared at their clasped hands for a long while before finding his voice: "Please, speak like a human being."

"So, skin as smooth as ice and bones as white as jade?" Jiang Shu added slowly.

Li Yubai withdrew his hand: "Shall we continue with the questions?"

As the cold moon slowly rose, the 082 wooden house finally got down to business.

At the entrance of the alley.

Assistant Gao and Assistant Yang leaned against the car door and started smoking.

Assistant Gao checked the time on his phone: "I reckon the boss is going to stay out all night again—we might as well just stay here!"

Assistant Yang sighed, "Do you think the BOSS will break his family's tradition of leaving the child and discarding the mother? I heard that the previous heads of the family were extremely ruthless towards women. Before our BOSS met that girl, he was also a heartless womanizer..."

Assistant Gao glanced at him: "With all this gossip, you should be thinking about how to convince the boss to return to the capital sooner. There's a ton of stuff waiting for us..."

Assistant Yang scoffed, "They can't even drag him back to a hotel a few kilometers away, and you expect him to go back to the capital..."

As dawn broke, Li Yubai finally emerged from Xinghua Lane, his brows furrowed with obvious joy. Inside his starry blue suit, the top jeweled button of his silk shirt was undone, and his lapel was slightly disheveled.

Assistant Yang's eyes lit up: "Boss, would you like a pot of deer antler soup to replenish your energy?"

Li Yubai's expression suddenly turned cold: "Who do you take her for? And who do you take me for?"

Assistant Yang immediately shut up! He silently opened the car door for his boss, shrinking his head and remaining silent.

Li Yu glanced at him and said, "From now on, treat her like my little ancestor and treat her with the utmost respect. If she shows the slightest disrespect, I will not let her off lightly."

Assistant Yang nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes!"

Li Yubai then got into the car and closed his eyes to rest.

But his hand unconsciously reached for the unbuttoned button.

It was just that my button got caught in her hair while I was explaining the problem...

But for the next two hours, he couldn't get into the flow of the discussion and still seems somewhat distracted.

As the luxury car started, a cold wind blew in through the window, and Li Yubai slowly came back to his senses from that dazed state.

He fiddled with the beads on his wrist and whispered, "Gao Jing, does the Li family own a live streaming platform?"

“There are a few, but they are all peripheral industries that the Li Group has never paid much attention to.”

"Immediately establish a new live streaming platform, and launch it to the market next week according to the highest industry standards."

Assistant Gao nodded and noted it down: "No problem."

"The revenue sharing mechanism will be abolished, and all income will go to the streamers. All platform operations staff will also serve the streamers, and I will handle all matters related to the streamers directly."

Assistant Gao paused for a moment: "If the platform operates at the highest standard, it will cost several hundred million a month. If the revenue sharing mechanism is canceled..."

Li Yubai glanced at him silently.

Assistant Gao immediately replied, "Okay, the Li family doesn't need that little bit of money—but if this means the estimated number of broadcasters will exceed ten million, and you have to personally review them all—"

Li Yubai looked out the window: "Just sign one person."

Assistant Gao paused for two seconds, then said, "Okay!"

"The platform will be called 'Morning and Evening'."

Having said all that, Assistant Gao understood everything.

As the convoy continued its journey, and just before arriving at the hotel, Li Yubai's gaze fell on the distance again: "Whose are those buildings?"

Assistant Yang began to assert his presence: "Boss, that's the center of Jiangcheng's newly developed business district. Those buildings are landmarks there, the Starry Sky Building. All four major families in Jiangcheng hold controlling stakes in them."

Li Yubai said calmly, "Buy it, and the Li Group will move in within a week."

"……OK."

"Prepare another house for me near Xinghua Lane, the closer the better—I want to move in within three days."

Assistant Gao and Assistant Yang exchanged a silent glance.

Then he silently looked away.

Jiang Shu, who knew nothing and was still immersed in a sea of ​​math problems, finally stretched after solving the last problem, picked up her schoolbag and headed to school.

Amidst the bustling crowd, her conversation with Li Yubai that night flashed through her mind, and she casually sent a message in the "Pet Camp" group chat—

Dear Sponsor: [Does anyone have a unique, off-the-shelf item that's hard to find? I can sell it for you, and we can split the profits!]
