A super-rich tycoon? No, just call me the gentlemanly gigolo.

At 7:12 pm on December 5th, the "Wen Yu's Girlfriend" live stream room was unusually quiet.

Since passing the last assessment and receiving some traffic support from the guild, the number of people online has been stable at around 15.

Tonight, as an important day for the battle, the big spenders that the streamers had been supporting privately all showed up, and the number of viewers in the live stream soared all the way to 30.

The scrolling speed of the comments on the public screen was also significantly faster, making it exceptionally lively.

There are eight microphones in total, and they are all occupied at the moment. The people in the microphones are Yao Yao, Zhi Xia, Minnie, July, Du Du, Tian Mei, Jia Jia, and Xiao Meng.

The order of microphones was determined by the amount of revenue each person had to complete that night, from highest to lowest. Yao Yao secured her place on the microphone with a lead of 5000 revenue, clearly displaying the demeanor of a "number one".

The "Starry Wish" on the opposite side is also a sister hall within the guild, with a strength of around 15 sound waves.

Considering that her family had just undergone an assessment and that her older brothers also needed a buffer, Zhi Xia did not set the task too high.

Besides her and Minnie each contributing 2000 yuan to maintain appearances, the other sisters each contributed 1000 yuan, plus Yao Yao's 5000 yuan, bringing the total to just equal with the other side.

Which side will win depends entirely on which side's big spender is more willing to make impulsive purchases—since they're all in their own guild halls, winning or losing doesn't really matter.

The atmosphere in the hall was lively at the moment. The girls on the microphone were laughing and joking with each other while interacting with their male friends on the public screen.

Yao Yao was unusually lively today, radiating an air of triumph. She playfully teased and flirted with everyone, exuding confidence as she sat in the microphone seat.

Seeing that Yao Yao had changed from her sullen state of the past few days, Zhi Xia smiled and asked, "Yao Yao, you look so energetic today, all smiles. Looks like you're not worried about today's task at all? So confident?"

Yao Yao glanced at her WeChat on her phone without thinking.

Today, "Wild Bro" has been unusually enthusiastic towards her since the morning, sending her non-stop sticky messages, just like a couple deeply in love, which makes her feel very confident.

She snorted, her tone smug: "Of course! My brother said he guarantees I'll pass today! He told me to relax!"

Upon hearing this, Minnie immediately scoffed, "Oh my, so confident? Zhixia, listen to this! Our number one has spoken! Hurry up and give her more tasks, lest her boss comes and complains that we set the tasks too low, making him look like he has no status!"

Yao Yao was now full of confidence and showed no weakness: "Hehe! I'll add it then! Are you afraid of me?"

The sweet girl sitting in the back row couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing the sisters who used to be "trash" with me, supporting each other, suddenly stand up and act so arrogantly, my heart ached terribly. It was even worse than losing money.

"Zhixia! Quick! Raise it to 8000! Let's see if she can still be so arrogant!"

Yao Yao scoffed, "You little trash, shut up! Even your brother isn't talking down there, and you still dare to yell? When my brother gets here, you believe me, I'll punish you!"

Sweetie was hit where it hurt and was furious, but in the voice chat room, where "tickets" were everything and no one had any rights without a ticket, she had no choice but to continue using reverse psychology:

"You're all talk! Dare to take on 8000? Let Zhixia change the task for you right now!"

Yao Yao was bursting with confidence at that moment. Thinking of Ye Ge's words on WeChat, "I definitely won't let you down," she blurted out:

"Add it! 8000 it is! Today is my birthday! My brother said he'd give me a big gift as a birthday present!"

The sweet girl immediately exposed her weakness: "You shameless bastard! You just had your birthday last month, and now it's already over again? You've aged 12 years in a year? You old hag?"

Just as Yao Yao was about to retort, Zhi Xia, who had always thought she was showing off, suddenly sensed something different and quickly interrupted:

"Wait! Yao Yao, how much is Brother Ye going to give you? Is it really going to be over 8000? Ten thousand?"

Yao Yao was slightly taken aback, and quickly calculated in her mind.

Since the other party said they wouldn't let her down, they should at least let her earn back that 5000 yuan, right?

That......

You'd need to spend at least 12000, right?

She thought 10,000 shouldn't be a problem, so she nodded: "Hmm... about that, around 10,000 should be fine."

"Wow!"

"Really?"

"Sister Yaoyao is awesome!"

"Is Wild Bro really that awesome?"

The other streamers on the microphone, who had been chatting privately with their idols on WeChat and trying their best to get votes, were immediately surprised and started talking, their voices full of envy.

The tourists waiting to watch the show on the public screen also joined in the commotion, spamming comments like "666", "Yao Yao's costume is so realistic", and "Which guy is this? I've never seen him before".

Yao Yao was enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention and was about to say a few more words about Versailles when she suddenly received a private message from Zhi Xia on WeChat.

Zhi Xia: [Yao Yao, are you sure Ye Ge can farm that much? Is he reliable?]

Yao Yao replied: 【Hmm, 90% confident.】

Zhi Xia: [Okay, then when the PK starts, don't jump on the mic when others do. Just stay on the mic and keep scoring points up, it'll look better to watch.]

Yaoyao: [OKOK~]

Zhi Xia: [But you should tell Ye Ge not to let him buy all the tickets right away. After all, the other side is our guild's hall. If the gap is too big at the start, the other side's big brother might feel he can't catch up and might stop playing, which would affect the other side's girls' ability to make money.]

Yao Yao was taken aback: 【Huh? I can't control when he spends the money, he'll probably just throw it all at once to make a big impression, right?】

Zhi Xia: [Just act cute with him and it'll be fine! You've got him wrapped around your little finger, can't you handle this little thing? Just tell him it's for the long-term development of the department, and you need him to cooperate.]

Yao Yao scratched her head, feeling a little uneasy.

She had no clue whatsoever; she had clearly just stumbled upon the other person's strange quirks and logic of doing things by chance.

But the promise had already been made, so there was no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "Okay, I'll talk to him about it."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Jiang Ye was comfortably lying in a high-end spa called "Biboxuan".

The air is filled with soothing essential oil aromatherapy, the lighting is soft, and soothing background music is playing.

A technician who looked to be in his early twenties walked in carrying a tool tray.

"Good evening, sir. I am technician number 66, Xiaoyu. It's a pleasure to serve you."

As her name suggests, she had a soft voice, delicate features, long hair tied back, and wore the club's uniform Chinese-style work clothes. She had a slender and graceful figure.

Jiang Ye looked at the girl in front of him, who he estimated to be over 80 points, and felt great.

This is what it means to enjoy yourself!

What is that lousy private cinema? Even a dog wouldn't go there!

He watched the girl walk back and forth preparing, and casually asked her for a hair tie. He was slightly disappointed to find that the system task progress had not changed.

It seems that although Xiaoyu is pretty, she is still a little short of the "goddess" standard of 85 points.

But it's okay, 1598 yuan for 90 minutes of comfortable service and a visually pleasing experience is worth it!

After fighting for so many years, can't we enjoy ourselves a little?

The service begins with a relaxation of the shoulders, neck, and back.

Xiaoyu knelt beside Jiang Ye, her fingertips, coated with warm essential oil, tracing the back of his body and precisely pressing on the sore muscle nodules.

Her technique was very professional. Sometimes she would press with her knuckles, sometimes she would rub with her palms, and occasionally she would use her body weight to apply pressure. The soft touch would come through the thin massage towel from time to time, just right.

"Brother, what do you do for a living? You have a very good demeanor."

While giving the massage, Xiaoyu would softly chat with the customer, a standard procedure for high-end services aimed at relaxing the client.

Jiang Ye closed his eyes to enjoy the moment, then casually replied, "Me? I deliver takeout."

Xiaoyu smiled slightly, her hands still moving: "Brother, you're joking. You don't look like a food delivery guy at all."

"Oh? How did you know? Because I ordered the 1598 set meal?"

"No, that's not it... Some delivery riders have come here to relax while doing projects before, but they give off a different vibe than you. Whether they feel the pinch when spending money, whether they have that calm and confident air about them—we've met a lot of people, so we can sense it to some extent."

Jiang Ye felt quite pleased with these two small compliments, chuckled, and didn't continue the topic.

After finishing the back, it's time for the front.

Xiaoyu helped him adjust his posture and began massaging his arms and legs.

Jiang Ye wasn't idle either. Occasionally, he would "inadvertently" extend his finger and gently stroke her wrist, which was close at hand, or when she bent over, he would pretend to adjust his posture and reach out to rub her stockinged thigh under her uniform skirt.

Xiaoyu would either subtly avoid these subtle "small actions" by adjusting the towel or the essential oil bottle, or simply blush slightly and give him a reproachful look.

It maintained a safe distance without embarrassing the guests, striking the perfect balance.
