Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 43 Lion Cat Emerges from Dongchang and Linqing

The 'lawyer's letter warning' incident has come to an end.

The moment Fanxing issued a public apology, this matter came to a satisfactory conclusion.

Chen Nian had no intention of getting entangled with the other party any further.

waste time.

Moreover, the fact that Fanxing shot herself in the foot this time serves as a warning to other merchants eyeing Chen Nian's live stream. Those who attempt to use underhanded methods to gain a "sales spot" in the live stream will likely be much more restrained.

Hmm, that's really good news!
Thank you, Shirakawa-san!
Meanwhile, Xia Qiyue's behavior in this incident also warmed Chen Nian's heart.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed.

At the critical moment, Xia Qiyue did not hesitate or back down, but stood firmly by Chen Nian's side, willing to face the storm with him.

This affection speaks louder than a thousand words.

Chen Nian felt incredibly fortunate to have Xia Qiyue by her side and with her help.

He looked at Xia Qiyue, who was whistling and happily tidying her desk. Sunlight streamed through the window, dancing on her slightly lowered eyelashes.

Chen Nian stepped forward to help, and said something along the way.

"Well, congratulations on your promotion."

"Huh?" Xia Qiyue paused in her work, looked up, her eyes wide, and deliberately dragged out her words.

"So all my hard work and dedication before was just a 'probationary period'?"

"Of course." Chen Nian nodded seriously.

"I have to see if you can meet my requirements. If you're not suitable, I'll have to look for someone else."

"Tch! Who else would want to come but me! Stingy boss!"

Xia Qiyue pouted unhappily, like an angry little pufferfish, and casually stuffed a fluffy cat plush toy into Chen Nian's arms. After watching Chen Nian carefully put it away, she rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.

"So, do I meet the standard?"

"It meets the standard."

"How many points would you give it?" she asked again.

Chen Nian stopped what she was doing, turned around, and calmly looked at Xia Qiyue's face. Her clear eyes were like a shattered galaxy, sparkling with pure light.

His tone was absolutely certain, each word spoken with absolute certainty:
"Full marks."

“Yess!!”

Xia Qiyue clenched her fist and pressed down hard, her face beaming with an uncontrollable smile. It felt amazing to be affirmed!
Then, Chen Nian straightened up, her expression becoming unusually formal.

He solemnly extended his right hand towards Xia Qiyue.

"Miss Xia Qiyue." The voice was gentle and clear.

"Now, welcome to my team."

Team, not company.

The difference between the two made Xia Qiyue pause slightly. Then, an incredibly bright smile, seemingly capable of melting everything, bloomed on her face. Her signature dimples rippled deeply, as if filled with intoxicating starlight.

She also reached out her hand, her fingertips warm from the sunlight, and lightly shook hands with Chen Nian's.

The voice was clear and earnest.
"My name is Xia Qiyue, and I'm honored to join your team!"

Just then, Xiao Lan, who had been tilting her head and watching curiously from the side, seemed to sense the solemn yet warm atmosphere.

It meowed and nimbly jumped onto the table.

Then, mimicking the two of them, he squatted down beside them with great seriousness, and then raised a furry front paw and gently placed it on the back of their clasped hands.

It's like saying:

Me too!
"Hahaha!"

Looking at Xiao Lan's serious expression, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance and burst into laughter.

Xia Qiyue also felt incredibly fortunate to be Chen Nian's assistant.

After tidying up her desk, Xia Qiyue officially started work, and her energetic demeanor was indeed as she had described.

The expanded office space greatly improved her work efficiency.

The keyboard was being typed non-stop.

Chen Nian almost thought she was secretly playing games.

Soon, before lunchtime, Xia Qiyue had finished managing all the accounts on all the platforms, and she also shamelessly jumped on the bandwagon of Fanxing's apology.

—【Your account has been followed by the official Fanxing Pets account】

This maneuver was executed flawlessly.

If those of Fanxing's fans who don't understand the background and only see that Fanxing strongly recommended Chen Nian see this, they will inevitably think that Fanxing and Chen Nian have a good relationship and come to watch the live stream!
Chen Nian was both amused and exasperated.

"You really don't miss out on any traffic!"

"Of course!" Xia Qiyue puffed out her chest confidently. "They used to scare me with a lawyer's letter. I almost went bankrupt!"

"And who knows when they'll delete the apology letter."

"Of course, I'll take whatever I can get!" "Awesome!"

Chen Nian gave a heartfelt thumbs up, "I feel much more at ease leaving my backyard in your hands!"

"Please rest assured and leave it to me!" Xia Qiyue snapped to attention and gave a quick salute.

She then sat down again and focused on studying the platform's live streaming rules, especially those concerning violations.

She wouldn't allow herself to fall into the same trap twice!
Chen Nian took advantage of the break before lunch to rest for a while on the sofa with Xiao Lan in her arms.

Meow!
Little Blue resisted to no avail, and then gave in.

I slept with Chen Nian.

Amidst the snoring of the double tractor, Chen Nian's tired legs began to recover rapidly.

The only sounds in the room were the soft clicking of the keyboard and the purring of the cat.

And the tranquility of sunlight flowing through it.

Until the aroma of lunch filled the air.

Xia Qiyue used the same trick again, playfully brushing the tip of her ponytail against Chen Nian's nose. After the other opened her eyes, she put her hands on her hips and said irritably.

"If I sleep any longer, Little Blue will eat all my food!"

"what?!"

Chen Nian jumped up from the sofa in a flash.

Since he started exercising, his appetite has increased, and he suspects it's because of Xiaomi's snoring.

'Yes, meow~'

Sensing Chen Nian's thoughts, Xiaomi's lazy voice rang in his mind, with a nasal tone from just waking up.

The enhanced purring helps you recover faster, meow.

'According to the law of conservation of energy, recovery consumes the energy stored in your body, so it's normal to feel hungry faster, meow.'

"Is that so?"

Chen Nian scratched her head as if suddenly realizing something, then sat down opposite Xia Qiyue. 'I thought you could magically boost my physique out of thin air.'

He took the chopsticks Xia Qiyue handed him and thanked her.

However, the other side remained completely silent.

Looking up, I saw that Xia Qiyue had already started her 'elegant food-showing' mode. Her movements seemed unhurried and her posture pleasing to the eye, but the dishes on the table were visibly decreasing!
"I rely on!"

Chen Nian quickly joined the battle.

Deep down, Xiaomi's inner complaint, though belated, finally arrived: 'I'm just a cute cat system, not a superhero system, meow!'

6:20 pm.

Although Chen Nian and Xia Qiyue had anticipated that the live stream would be a huge hit, the number of viewers displayed on the screen when the live stream started still made them gasp slightly.

1000+!

The fact that it got over 1000 views right after the start of the show speaks volumes about its quality!
Aside from longtime fans, the vast majority of these viewers are newcomers drawn in by the aftermath of the "100,000 Mo Guan Xiaobai" incident and the Fanxing apology event.

The crowd surged, and the live chat exploded instantly!

When there are too many people, the comments section becomes chaotic.

Various questions, jokes, curiosities, and even some seemingly random comments flooded the screen like a tide.

Chen Nian glanced at Xia Qiyue across from her, her gaze questioning: Can you handle it?
Xia Qiyue nodded emphatically.

no problem!
If she can capitalize on this surge in traffic, her livestream will be one step closer to becoming a huge hit. And if she can achieve that, she can become the chief assistant, the CEO, and reach the pinnacle of her life!

So even if we can't hold on, we have to!
After receiving Xia Qiyue's affirmative reply, Chen Nian felt relieved.

He composed himself, a calm and genuine smile spreading across his face. He didn't panic despite the large crowd, and started his daily live stream with a steady pace.

"Cuteness is justice, and cats bring good fortune!"

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Nian."

"A cat identification livestreamer dedicated to discovering cat stories and sharing cat-raising knowledge."

Good evening, fellow cat lovers, both new and old!

“In previous live streams, we have introduced many feline guests from all over the world. Their unique charm and stories are all included in the live stream replays. You are welcome to 'dig back' at any time to learn more about the wonderful world of cats.”

"Well then, let's take advantage of how lively the live stream is today."

Chen Nian's voice rose slightly, carrying the enthusiasm of someone sharing a treasure:
"Let's talk about our own proud Chinese cats!"

He paused briefly, his eyes gleaming with focused pride, and his voice took on a touch of melodious charm:

Have you ever heard this saying:

"Lion cats come from Dongchang and Linqing. They have long, white fur, bright, round eyes, and a large tail with fluffy hair at the tip that resembles a lion!"

"Today, let us turn our attention to this land of Qilu, and together step into this place, elegant as a lion and lively as snow—"

"The World of Linqing Lion Cats!"

　Thank you everyone for your votes and monthly passes!
　　The Cat God said he will always protect you, I've already called!
