A pretty live streamer beckons, and a lewd male protagonist hooks her up.

Meanwhile, back inside, Wen Ruan tore open a loaf of bread to fill her stomach, scrolled through the countless messages Fu Shiqing had sent, and immediately started a video call with him.

She chewed her bread slowly, something she could have finished in two bites, but she only dared to eat it in big bites after Fu Shiqing answered the video call.

Sure enough, Fu Shiqing's first reaction upon seeing her wasn't to question who the man was, but rather to express concern for her:

"Baby, why are you eating bread? Are you short of money?"

"Um......"

Wen Ruan held up the bread to show Fu Shiqing with a pitiful expression, "I'm so poor that I can only afford to eat bread."

"Brother Shiqing," Wen Ruan said, finding a good angle, and explained, "That boy just now was... my cousin from the countryside!"

"He was poor too, and came to the big city to seek refuge with me, but he had a fever, so he's a little delirious. Please don't misunderstand."

"Oh, it's my cousin."

Fu Shiqing believed it, after all, what he heard on the other end of the phone was indeed someone calling for his sister.

He smiled and said, "Being sick is a serious matter and cannot be delayed."

"Mmm!" Wen Ruan nodded vigorously.

[Transfer of 50,000 yuan]

"Take this to your cousin to buy him some supplements. He's so young and gets sick so easily; there must be something wrong with his health."

"I know several reputable traditional Chinese medicine doctors. If you're comfortable with that, you can leave your cousin with me, and I'll take him to see a doctor."

Wen Ruan gave a wry smile.

It's all Song Yu's fault. If Song Yu hadn't gotten a fever and caused trouble, she wouldn't have racked her brains to find a way to coax Fu Shiqing!

"Brother Shiqing, where are you? Why is there only woods behind us?"

"I'm picking mushrooms in the mountains."

As he spoke, Fu Shiqing put on gloves and picked a bright red mushroom from the side to show Wen Ruan, "Does baby like it?"

"like!"

Wen Ruan's eyes lit up. "What kind of mushroom is this? It looks so delicious!"

The mushroom in Fu Shiqing's hand had a bright red cap covered with small white polka dots, making it look like a dessert and very appetizing.

Fu Shiqing explained with a smile, "This is called Amanita mushroom, it's poisonous and can't be eaten."

"If you like, I can bring it back for you to see."

Wen Ruan turned pale with fright upon hearing that it was poisonous, and shook her head repeatedly.

Fu Shiqing chuckled, "Don't worry, baby, I won't eat them either. I'm here to pick other mushrooms..."

The signal was poor in the mountains, and the video call ended automatically after the two had been chatting for a short time.

That's why Fu Shiqing initially used an old-fashioned mobile phone.

He waited quite a while before the chat page loaded. He clicked on Wen Ruan's voice message, and her soft voice stood out particularly well in the empty mountain forest.

"Good luck picking mushrooms, brother! I'm going out now, bye-bye!"

Okay, sure.

......

Meanwhile, Wen Ruan had changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt and denim shorts. She had a hair tie in her mouth, gathered her hair at the back of her head and tied it into a high ponytail, then changed into black canvas shoes with white socks, and went out looking refreshed!

As she passed by Song Yu's house, she even raised her chin and snorted at the door.

Wen Ruan's idea is very good.

Once she signs with Shengshi Media, she'll earn tons of money, making Song Yu incredibly envious!

Then I willingly put on an apron and became her chef!

Then Wen Ruan will be able to enjoy fragrant rice every day when she gets home, and someone will even clean the house...

Just imagining such a scene made Wen Ruan's lips curl up into a smile that she couldn't suppress, and her enthusiasm grew even stronger!

Upon arriving at the company building, Wen Ruan gripped the shoulder strap of her backpack tightly and took a deep breath to encourage herself.

Stepping inside, the expensive air conditioning blasts out, dispelling the heat from outside.

"Hello, do you have an appointment?"

"Yes, Chloe from Shengshi Media. My surname is Wen."

"Hold on."

The receptionist made a phone call, then smiled and let Wen Ruan through, "Take the elevator over there, it's on the 25th floor."

"Okay, thank you!"

Wen Ruan took the temporary elevator card from the front desk and happily ran over to take the elevator.

"Ding!"

We've reached the 25th floor.

Wen Ruan was led by Shengshi's employees to a small conference room to sit down.

"Chloe is still in a meeting. Have some tea first, she'll be here in a bit."

"Okay."

Wen Ruan didn't leave anywhere; she just waited in her seat for about half an hour when suddenly the sound of high heels came from outside.

It was very powerful, making a "thump thump thump" sound.

The door opened.

What entered before anyone else was the fragrance emanating from her.

Wen Ruan twitched her nose and looked up. She saw a middle-aged woman in red-soled high heels and a matching white suit walk in.

She was wearing perfume, which could be smelled from a distance, but it wasn't overpowering at all.

"Hello, I'm Chloe." Chloe extended her hand to Wen Ruan.

Wen Ruan stood up to return the greeting, "Hello, Sister Chloe!"

Chloe frowned. "You don't need to call me 'sister.' Just call me Chloe like everyone else."

Noticing Wen Ruan's slightly bewildered look, Chloe patiently explained, "I chose this English name so that you wouldn't have to call me Sister Li or Sister Zhang. We're all colleagues or about to become colleagues, and no one is more noble than anyone else."

"Okay, Chloe! I got it!"

Wen Ruan looked serious.

Chloe was touched by her straightforward personality, and her red lips curved slightly. "Sit down."

She flipped through the information in her hand, skimming the lines: "Wen Ruan, 22, parents unknown, junior high school education, has experience working in a factory, currently a small-time livestreamer with 9,000 followers?"

"Yes, that's right."

Wen Ruan asked nervously, "Chloe, does your company check educational backgrounds when hiring?"

"No, that's not it."

Chloe picked up the Americano on the table and took a sip.

Wen Ruan recognized the logo above; it was from the coffee shop she visited last time.

I didn't expect Chloe to like the coffee there too...

Wen Ruan suddenly felt very happy to share the same interests as the beautiful older sister... no, it was Chloe.

He blinked, waiting for Chloe to continue.

Chloe paused, misunderstanding that Wen Ruan was eyeing the coffee in her hand, and handed her the cup: "Want some?"

Wen Ruan felt embarrassed to refuse, so she took the food with both hands, tasted a little bit, and then her face scrunched up in a bitter expression.

"Haha... Don't force yourself if you don't like it."

"You were introduced by Assistant Chen. He's always been reliable, so I won't ask you anything more."

"Given your circumstances, you now have two options:"

First, if you enter the entertainment industry as an artist, I guarantee you'll become famous in less than a year, and win countless awards in less than three years. However, the corresponding reward will be an extremely busy schedule; you might be working 367 days a year.

Chloe leaned back in her chair, her tone relaxed yet highly persuasive:

"Second, if you sign a contract as an internet celebrity, I can tailor-make an image for you and guarantee that you will see timely feedback within a month. Although the salary is lower than that of entering the entertainment industry, the corresponding time is more flexible. Apart from the schedule arranged by the company, you can completely relax."

Chloe rested her chin on her right hand, looking at Wen Ruan with a leisurely air:

"So, which path do you want to choose?"
