You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

One o'clock in the morning.

Lu Ci, carrying a bottle of mineral water and rubbing his slightly sore neck, had just stepped off the stage when Xiao Wei, who was running towards him, blocked his way.

The girl changed into a Japanese-style JK uniform tonight; the fitted white shirt was stretched taut by her full chest.

Beneath the pleated skirt, a pair of round, shapely legs were encased in black knee-high socks, with two playful black bows tied below the calves.

"Boss Lu!" Xiao Wei exclaimed excitedly, "Guess what good news has happened?"

Lu Ci unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and guessed, following her words, "Did the account's followers increase again? Or did someone spam the Carnival?"

After performing at the venue for the past few days, Lu Ci has truly witnessed the money-making power of short video live streaming.

His personal account definitely received the most gifts among all of Twilight's several accounts.

Although he doesn't have a large number of fans yet, and he rarely interacts with the live chat on stage, the stable 3,000+ online viewers every night mean that even just casual donations from casual viewers can earn him over 1,000 yuan a day.

Sometimes when Lu Ci was on stage watching the gift effects flash by, he would secretly calculate: If he had tens of millions of fans, he could easily have a PK battle or a live stream with 100,000 people watching online. How much money would he make in one night?

If he can really build up his fanbase and stream steadily for three to five years, he can probably retire early.

Upon hearing Lu Ci's guess, Xiao Wei shook her head: "It's not a tip!"

"So... someone asked me to take on business deals and play games?"

Xiao Wei smiled and snapped her fingers: "You guessed pretty much right!"

Lu Ci sighed and tapped her forehead with his knuckles: "You little brat, when are you going to get rid of this habit of speaking in such a breathy way? Every time there's something good, you have to keep us in suspense first."

Xiao Wei chuckled sheepishly, covering her forehead, and quickly revealed the answer: "Someone sent me a private message inviting you to a music festival!"

"A music festival? Invited me?" Lu Ci was genuinely surprised this time, stopping in his tracks and pointing to himself. "Have I been scammed? All I've sung on stage so far are covers; I don't even have a single original song of my own. Why would a legitimate music festival invite me?"

"Absolutely true! I verified it myself after receiving the private message!" Xiaowei said confidently.

"I have a college classmate who happens to be on that planning team. At the end of this month, Jiangbei New Area is going to hold a large-scale open-air music festival to boost cultural tourism."

Xiao Wei became more and more excited as she spoke: "The official planner said that they saw your clips on short videos and thought that your appearance and voice were very good."

Their offer was five songs for a fee of 50,000 yuan! Our account only has a little over 200,000 followers right now, so this price is definitely reasonable.

Most importantly, this music festival has invited several popular singers to headline the event. Even if you only show your face briefly, you'll definitely gain a lot of followers by riding on their popularity!

Lu Ci pondered.

Fifty thousand yuan may seem like a drop in the ocean for the future operation of the resort, but every little bit helps.

"Okay." Lu Ci nodded and made the decision: "Then you go and negotiate the contract with them. If the terms are right, we'll finalize it."

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Wei immediately put on a flattering smile, leaned forward and winked: "Boss Lu, don't forget me when you become rich! If you can show your face and gain fans at the music festival this time, I think you will definitely become a superstar and a big celebrity!"

"When the time comes... could you get me to come over and be your personal assistant or something?"

Seeing the girl's expectant look, Lu Ci was amused: "You're thinking quite far ahead. But if that day really comes, given your quick wit and professional skills, keeping you as an assistant wouldn't be a bad idea."

"Then it's a promise, no backing out!" Xiao Wei happily held up her delicate little finger in front of Lu Ci: "Pinky promise!"

Lu Ci chuckled and extended his finger to make a pinky promise with the little girl.

……

After leaving the bar, Lu Ci did not drive.

Chen Feng has already contacted a used car dealer tonight. In order to raise the money to buy the resort, the SUV will be driven away and sold first thing tomorrow morning.

This time, Boss Chen has completely sold everything he owns and is going all out for his business.

Lu Ci withdrew his gaze and habitually walked towards the late-night food stalls not far from the bar, intending to grab something to eat before heading back.

As soon as Lu Ci reached the street corner, his gaze caught sight of a familiar figure.

Qin Meng, carrying her violin case, was standing under a street lamp not far away.

Instead of hailing a taxi, she looked down at her toes, took two slow steps forward, and then, as if struggling with something, retreated back to where she was.

He looked so hesitant and uncertain.

Lu Ci walked over curiously: "Why aren't you home yet? If you stay any longer, there won't be any more buses around here."

The sudden sound beside her startled Qin Meng.

She suddenly raised her head, and when she saw that the person was Lu Ci, two light blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks.

Her fingers gripped the strap of the violin case tightly, she took a deep breath, and her voice was somewhat hurried:

"Um...are you hungry?"

Lu Ci was puzzled by this seemingly random question, but he still nodded: "I'm hungry. I was just about to go to the stall in front to buy some barbecue to fill my stomach."

"Then I'll treat you to a late-night snack." Qin Meng pointed to the corner not far ahead, speaking rather quickly: "There's a food stall over there; their crayfish is delicious."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci instantly understood why she had been pacing back and forth.

So you wanted to treat me to a meal?

He didn't press the issue and just smiled, "Okay, let's go."

Seeing that Lu Ci readily agreed, Qin Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to ask a guy out to dinner.

The night her father was hospitalized, this man lent her money without saying a word.

Although I'm currently short of money and can't repay that debt for the time being, I should still treat them to a meal to express my gratitude.

But Qin Meng was still very unsure.

The only people she can afford to hire now are roadside food stalls, while Lu Ci's ex-wife is so rich.

She was really afraid that her cheap late-night snack would be politely declined.

Fortunately, he not only did not refuse, but agreed very readily.

As Qin Meng looked at the man walking beside her, the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards into a delicate and beautiful arc.
