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

Chapter 20 Two Velvet Bags

Jiang Shu's eyes lit up: "Then, I'll sign it?"

Then, she extended her finger and clicked the button for "I have read the relevant terms and conditions and agree to sign the contract".

At the same time, countless people, feeling like they had won the lottery, trembled as they pressed the sign-up button.

Sorry, you do not meet the signing requirements. Please click here for details.

Those who were full of passion were suddenly doused with a bucket of ice water!
Shanghai. The relentless wolf and the jackal clicked on the "View Details" button, and a new page popped up:
Your profile information does not meet the platform's aesthetic standards. Please try again later.

……

Jiang Shu didn't know how many people were driven crazy by the newly launched "Morning and Evening Signing" model.

In her phone's chat window, a page that was completely different from everyone else's popped up:
Welcome, dear streamer, to Chaomu! Please complete your personal information.

[Information complete. Xiao Mu wishes the streamer great wealth!]

【Dear streamer, you are now ready to go live. Xiao Mu will be happy to serve you.】

Jiang Shu looked at the gentle-looking man: "Your live streaming platform is so user-friendly!"

The man lowered his eyes and chuckled softly: "Things for our patron are naturally the best."

Jiang Shu did not start the live broadcast immediately; she still had a lot of preparation work to do.

Satisfied, she left Chaomu and turned to look at Li Yubai, who was quietly standing by her side:
"Let's test the waters tomorrow night. Now, help me pack my things, okay?"

Her slender fingers pointed at two velvet bags not far away.

Then, quite forcefully, he untied the drawstring of the velvet bag. Li Yubai watched, and for some reason, his heart skipped a beat!
Chaomu Operations Center.

Vice President Feng Zan's phone has been ringing off the hook!
He simply turned off his phone, looking at his boss Li Mingzhan with a tearful expression:
"Within an hour of going live, the operations department's phone lines were ringing off the hook, full of calls from people questioning and cursing! All three of my own phones were bombarded with calls. How am I supposed to live like this?"

Li Mingzhan wasn't having an easy time either. He had just finished a phone call, and then someone asked him, "Have you contacted the technical department? Where is the bug that's preventing tens of millions of people from completing their contracts?"

"The technical department?" Feng Zan seemed to realize this only then. "Right! The technical department! I'll go to the technical department right now and see which part went wrong!"

“I’ll go with you.” Li Mingzhan frowned. “This is the first project the boss is really keen on. If we mess it up, we’ll be packing our bags and leaving.”

Ten minutes later, the technical department.

The head of the technology department was leisurely drinking cola, while a group of programmers, looking relaxed, were busy processing various data.

Feng Zan said with a dark face, "Minister Wang, you still have the mind to eat and drink! Have you solved the problem of morning and evening?"

"What problems could there be with Chaomu?" The head of the technology department shrugged. "Isn't it operating perfectly? At peak times, 20 million people flooded into the app, and there wasn't even a single lag. That shows how stable our backend programs are!"

"I don't care about its load factor right now! I only want to ask you, who wrote the signing program, and what do you mean by not conforming to the platform's aesthetics? Tens of millions of people haven't been able to sign up successfully, how distorted must the platform's aesthetics be!"

Minister Wang of the Technology Department looked at the agitated Feng Zan: "So, you didn't know?"

Feng Zan roared, "What should I know?" Minister Wang sighed, "The boss said that the Chaomu platform can only have one streamer. And the entire platform will wholeheartedly serve that streamer."

Feng Zan: "...How come I didn't know?"

Minister Wang circled back to the point: "Yes, you didn't know."

General Manager Li Mingzhan, who had accompanied them, remained expressionless: "I don't know either—when was the notice issued?"

Minister Wang exclaimed, "Ah! Assistant Gao called me personally to inform you—I thought he had informed you as well, but he didn't?"

Feng Zan immediately went to the side and called Assistant Gao. After listening for a while, Gao only replied indifferently:
"I thought Minister Wang, with his big mouth, would relay the message to you. As for issuing a formal letter? The boss wants to subtly and discreetly please his little darling, so how could he issue a letter openly? Just act according to the situation."

Feng Zan's heart skipped a beat: "What do you mean... to please... his... little ancestor?"

Special Assistant Gao: "Go ahead and guess."

The phone hangs up.

Feng Zan stood there in a daze for a while before swaying back to Minister Wang's side: "Could you show me the profile of that... anchor who fits the 'platform's' aesthetic standards?"

"No," Minister Wang refused decisively. "No one except the BOSS has the authority to access it."

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing." Feng Zan cleared his throat. "Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't disturb your work any longer."

On the way back, Feng Zan quietly told Li Mingzhan what Assistant Gao had said: "So, our BOSS is in love? What we need to do next is to use the entire Chaomu team to pave the way for the future mistress?"

Li Mingzhan glared at him: "If those streamers who can't sign contracts cause a scene, you'll have to figure out how to handle it yourself."

"No problem, no problem." Feng Zan didn't want to change the subject. "--President Li, I still can't understand how the cold-blooded Li family, who are all ruthless, could possibly have a romantic child."

Li Mingzhan's expression was displeased: "I also come from that cold-blooded family."

Feng Zan awkwardly shut his mouth.

Apricot Blossom Lane. Li Yubai's Villa.

Jiang Shu suddenly ripped open the velvet bag!
Under the incandescent light, a chaotic shimmer of silver and gold light instantly spread across the ground! The largest gold nugget, about the size of a fist, rolled to Li Yubai's feet.

Li Yubai's gentle face froze almost imperceptibly for a moment.

He bent down to pick up the gold nugget, and his eyes spotted a tiny Li family seal in an inconspicuous dark corner.

For a moment, my feelings were inexplicably complicated.

Not far away, Jiang Shu was picking through a huge pile of glittering gems, with a touch of sweet trouble: "So many! If each one goes into a box, that'll make several thousand boxes. I really don't know where to put them all..."

Li Yubai slowly squatted down: "Just put some of them up there, and store the rest in the warehouse."

Jiang Shu nodded, casually grabbing a handful of diamonds and placing them in his palm: "There are so many, let's sort them together, we should be able to finish before dawn—I heard you went to the US also for diamonds, could it be..."

"It doesn't matter anymore." Li Yubai chuckled softly. "What matters is that my sugar daddy was pleased with this sack of diamonds."

Jiang Shu felt a slight tingling in her heart and unconsciously tightened her grip on the diamond in her hand.

The diamonds were newly mined and hadn't undergone any special processing; they had countless sharp edges that pricked my palms slightly. Li Yubai reached out to stop Jiang Shu:

"Girls are delicate, don't hurt your hands. You go sit over there and play, I'll take care of it myself."

Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment: "Then take your time—if you really can't manage, grab a broom and sweep. I'll go learn from other people's live-streaming sales to prepare for tomorrow."
