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

Chapter 72 Absurd Business
Who wouldn't want to talk more about a man who is both well-behaved and handsome?
Jiang Shu decided to ignore the host's words: "Young Master FY's health is failing. But if he takes one of these health-preserving pills, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, living another three to five years shouldn't be a problem..."

Wow! I heard that the FY conglomerate has been seeking medical help everywhere for years, trying every possible method, but they can only barely prolong the young master's life month by month! If they knew that the puppet had this miracle drug, wouldn't they come rushing over immediately?

[Preliminary estimates suggest that FY has spent tens of billions on the Crown Prince's delicate and ailing health over the years... I suggest the puppet streamer save one for him—I don't mean anything by it, I just heard that the Crown Prince is even more alluring than Daji, and I hope to see him in my lifetime...]

I've heard about that young master's temper... I'm a little worried for the puppet!

……

The internet was in an uproar. Inside the live stream, the host, looking at Jiang Shu's last remaining pill, asked Ye Se with mixed feelings:
"Nighttime anchor, in this heavily unequal bidding, do you need to put in another effort and try to allocate resources?"

"No need." Nightfall felt suffocated, her throat dry. "We admit defeat."

The host, somewhat sympathetic, asked, "Would you like a few more minutes to catch your breath?"

"No need." Nightfall closed her eyes briefly, quickly regaining her composure. "The puppet streamer is incredibly powerful; Nightfall has nothing to say. There are still seven rounds left; I believe we still have a chance."

"In that case, I declare that our puppet streamer has won the third round of the competition! The current score is 3:0. Now, for the fourth round of the competition, please welcome our puppet streamer to bring out the second item you have prepared for today."

Jiang Shu hesitated for a moment over the boxes next to her.

This included items that Li Yubai, Feng Li, and the fish had entrusted to her for resale. She also spent some brainpower preparing some of her own items—the proceeds from the resale would ultimately end up in other people's pockets, but with her own items, every penny sold was hers!
But she was poor, and it seemed... she didn't have much to offer. She was also afraid of losing and missing out on fifty million...

Assistant Yang noticed her hesitation: "Hey anchor, don't be a coward! We already have three points! You just need to get three more points and the bonus is yours! So, you have four points of room for trial and error!"

[Haha, Assistant Yang is so thoughtful! I suddenly feel like the puppet streamer isn't that old? The assistant is treating her like a child...]

[Li Yubai, how can you let your own streamer be coaxed by others? You'd better come out and assert your ownership!]

[Don't be afraid, host! What you should really be afraid of now is the night!]

The host chimed in, "Yes, puppet-like anchor, take whatever you want! We've been driven mad by your diamonds, luxury watches, and miracle drugs; we need something ordinary to calm us down..."

Jiang Shu picked up a box that looked very flat...

"So, the second item I've prepared for auction is..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, she slowly opened the box, revealing a light, flimsy document.

Point the cover of the document at the camera, and the words "Sugar Daddy Agreement" are particularly eye-catching!
Jiang Shu spoke very sincerely: "I have a business deal..."

On the sofa, Li Yubai's hand trembled, and he spilled a cup of tea!

Feng Li fell straight off the sofa!

Then, the two of them suddenly walked towards Jiang Shu!
The others were still unaware of the situation, including the host, who looked completely bewildered!

[A sugar daddy/sugar baby agreement? Is this even allowed to air?]

[Host, please continue! Are you the one keeping me as a sugar daddy, or am I keeping you? If I keep you, can I get Li Yubai and Yan Yu as a free gift?]

[Can lovers be auctioned off?]

[What I really want to know right now is, if Nightshade also wants a sugar daddy/sugar baby contract, how will he handle it? He's married with three kids; he'll be kneeling on his knees until he breaks when he gets home!]

……

The host, never one to shy away from a good show, said, "Puppet host, please explain in detail what this item you're auctioning, and your so-called business, is..."

Jiang Shu coughed lightly: "I have a business deal that seems a bit absurd, but—"

"No." A slender, fair hand reached out and forcefully grabbed the contract that Jiang Shu was about to unfold to explain the details.

Jiang Shu turned her head and met the tense faces of the two men.

[What on earth is this "Sugar Daddy Contract"? It even brought Li Yubai out of his reverie! That dream hand, I really want to touch it...] [Don't be afraid, host! Tell me all about it! I wasn't curious at first, but something that made Li Yubai lose his composure...]

[Host, fight back! I just want to keep hearing that deep, sexy, and alluring voice of the richest man...]

……

Jiang Shuchao pulled the document back: "Why not?"

Out of the live stream camera's view, Li Yubai's tall and slender figure stood stubbornly, his deep, exquisite phoenix eyes filled with profound helplessness:
"It really won't work. We have enough family members..."

Any more and he'll be even less able to handle it!
"Business is always better the more it is," Jiang Shu tried to comfort her. "Don't worry, you'll always be the most special one."

Li Yubai remained unmoved by the girl's rambling attempts at comfort: "Apart from this, I'll do whatever you say."

Jiang Shu still clung tightly to the document, refusing to let go.

Feng Li sneered and pushed Li Yubai aside: "Hey Li, let me handle this."

Li Yubai hesitated for a moment, then finally let go and silently stood to the side.

The live stream chat went crazy again!

[Who is this man talking to Li Yubai? Oh my god, his voice is so alluring and beautiful!]

[Host, there's someone else in your live stream besides Li Yubai? Quickly, show them to us!]

[Was it another assistant? No, how could another assistant call themselves "Dad" in front of Li Yubai! Waaaaah, how many wild men are you hiding, streamer?!]

……

In the shot, another man's long, beautiful hand reached out towards Jiang Shu, accompanied by Feng Li's plaintive voice:

"Bring it here."

Jiang Shu remained silent and motionless.

Feng Li chuckled, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his peach blossom eyes: "The price of medicinal herbs has increased by three hundred percent. And also, my daily income of thirty-seven thousand nine—"

Jiang Shu handed over the contract in her hand with a sense of annoyance.

Then, she decisively picked up the next box and said to the host, "I'd like to change the item for auction."

Feng Li held the contract with satisfaction and gave Li Yubai a provocative smirk.

Not wanting to cause a commotion, the two returned to the sofa some distance away, and then Feng Li elegantly tore the contract to shreds.

"Dealing with those kinds of scumbag women, gentleness and compromise alone won't work."

Li Yubai poured him a cup of tea and, for the first time, sincerely acknowledged his business partner: "A bad woman needs a wicked man to tame her. From now on, I'll trouble you to put in more effort."

Jiang Shu ignored the two men's hushed conversation and instead opened a new item for auction.

Online, including the host, people only saw a small part of the drama and felt a little empty inside.

The host, curious and gossipy, asked, "Could I ask the puppeteer anchor, besides Li Yubai, who was the other person just now?"

Jiang Shu thought about it carefully: "It's your father."

The ultimate boss in the entertainment industry, the father of all artists and media professionals.

The host, clearly oblivious to the subtext, choked for a moment: "Puppet host, if you don't want to talk, at least don't swear! -- Let's move past that topic and take a look at the second item after the host replacement!"
