My Arrogant Young Lady

"..." After hearing what the kind-hearted person said, I felt like I had been taken advantage of.

"Remember, you absolutely must make sure Shanshan goes live at nine o'clock tonight. You can use any method you want, even if it's just using your good looks!"

Chapter 147 Three Tricks to Pick Up Girls

The livestreaming industry is like a mini entertainment circle, with livestreamers as stars and guilds as entertainment companies. An entertainment company that can't produce top-tier stars, no matter how well-run the company is, will always be a second-rate company. But an entertainment company that is terrible but has many stars to boast about will definitely be a giant in the entertainment industry.

Shanshan is a rising star, and Xiaohaoren needs her to bring fame to our guild. Only by getting her back into streaming can Xiaohaoren run the guild even better. While continuing to make money, we can acquire other guilds and poach more well-known streamers.

Xiao Hao is a genius in the investment world; he's also helping me make money. Considering I still have plenty of time before evening, I decided to go talk to Shan Shan.

After class, I went straight to Shanshan's class. Xi'er, Chunxiaqiudong, and Shanshan were in the same class. When she saw me, Xia'er smiled and said, "Young Master, are you here to see our young lady?"

"No, I'm here to see Shanshan," I said with a smile.

Because I'm good friends with Young Master Bao, and best buddies with the one-on-one king Lu Zhicheng, I'm also very close to the two mysterious beauties who just joined the school, An Yao and Xi'er. Now I've become a prominent figure in the school. Upon hearing my words, Xia'er's face immediately darkened. All the students in Class 3 turned slightly to look at Shan Shan, who was sitting in the middle.

When Shanshan heard that I had come to find her, she raised her eyes and revealed her sweet face. Seeing me, her sweet cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes showed a look of flattery and surprise.

"Young Master, our young lady just agreed to let you take a concubine, and you're already going to cause trouble again? Humph, I knew I shouldn't have let the young lady agree to let you take a concubine. I knew it, you're a fickle scoundrel, you have a second one and you want a third!" Xia'er immediately became angry.

"Stop fooling around, I'm doing serious business." I frowned and gave Xia'er a disgruntled look. Then I nodded to Xi'er and walked towards Shanshan.

As I approached Shanshan, I saw that her face had turned even redder. She was already sweet-looking, but now she resembled a ripe peach, making one want to take a bite.

When I saw the way Shanshan looked at me, I was startled. I wondered what was going on. Did she like me?

Before I could even speak, Shanshan spoke up. Looking at me, Shanshan said softly, "Wang Xi, you're the mysterious tycoon prince who's ranked number one on the XX platform's donation leaderboard, right?"

"You knew?" I asked in surprise.

Helpless, Shan Shan glanced at my suit and the three gemstone rings on my hand. "I haven't even seen you yet, but I can already sense your air of nobility. Wang Xi, is it really meaningful for you to pretend to be a loser and flirt with me?"

"Me, pretending to be a loser? I didn't pretend to be a loser..." I quickly explained to Shanshan.

"Hehe, what did you mean when you contacted me before, saying you wanted to become a streamer and make money? The amount of money you tipped me... even if I were a streamer for two or three years, I probably couldn't earn that much, right? Now you're the number one tycoon on the XX platform's tipping list. A small streamer like me probably doesn't even have the right to talk to you. Are you angry because I mocked you before, and you're deliberately coming to my stream to humiliate me?" Shan Shan said softly.

Hearing Shanshan's words, I helplessly rubbed the ruby ​​ring on my left hand. Then I secretly observed her and noticed that although her tone was cold and sharp, her voice was very soft, and she avoided looking at me. As for her fair skin, it had turned bright red, from her sweet face all the way down to her neck.

Spring is almost here, and everyone's clothes are getting lighter. She was wearing her school uniform, and she looked much more innocent than during the live stream. Underneath her thin uniform, she seemed to be wearing only a pink casual shirt. Looking closer, I could already see a touch of black lace trim.

Holy crap, so white...and quite rosy too...

A sudden nervousness gripped my heart, and I quickly averted my gaze. If it were before, I probably would have walked away disappointed if she'd spoken to me like that. I'd think she was angry with me, mocking me for pretending to be rich and flirting with her. But now I was confident. I understood the true meaning behind her words. She was actually thanking me, but was too shy to say it directly. Her voice was so soft; it seemed she genuinely liked me.

I stole a glance at Xi'er and the others, and saw that Xi'er wasn't looking at me. Her four maids were all staring at me coldly. Feeling a little awkward about talking, I thought for a moment, then took Shanshan's hand and said, "Come out with me, I have something to tell you!"

"Xi'er!" Xia'er exclaimed, seeing me touch Shanshan's hand. She then brandished her whip.

"Wang Xi has important business to attend to, so don't bother him." Xi'er smiled, but there was a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

Thinking I'd explain to Xi'er later, I simply pulled Shanshan out of the classroom. When we reached a less crowded part of the corridor, Shanshan's sweet face turned even redder, and she pulled her little hand back.

I thought to myself, "Her little hands are quite soft," but I still put on a very serious expression and said to her, "Shanshan, I heard you stopped being a streamer. Why did you quit?"

"I want to study hard." Shanshan didn't dare to look me in the eye, biting her lip and lowering her head.

Seeing Shan Shan's appearance, I couldn't help but inwardly curse. Then, remembering the "handsome man strategy" that Xiao Haoren had told me, I frowned and said to Shan Shan, "Shan Shan, actually, you're not bad as a streamer. Your previous guild has been acquired by my friend, and now my friend is the owner of that guild. My friend told me that he wants to make you the number one female streamer online. Why don't you go back? You can earn more money than before if you go back."

"I know he contacted me. But I don't want to be a streamer anymore, I'm a little tired..." Shanshan raised her eyes, then avoided my gaze with a bitter smile.

"Why?" I asked.

"Being a live streamer is too tiring. I'm always harassed and attacked online. The pressure is immense. And as a streamer, it's inevitable that there will be gossip and rumors about me. I'm still a student, so I should keep a clean reputation. Money is valuable, but now is not the time for me to make money. Besides, my family has never had much money. What I earned last year was enough to help support our family," Shanshan said.

"So you mean even if you could earn 20 million a year, you wouldn't do it?" I asked.

"Um, I'm sorry..." Shanshan smiled at me. Then she turned and went back to her classroom.

Seeing that Shanshan didn't want so much money made me even more helpless. She didn't want to be a live streamer, and I couldn't exactly force her to do it at knifepoint.

Thinking about it, it's really a pity that Shanshan gave up being a live streamer. I called Xiaohaoren and said, "Xiaohaoren, Shanshan doesn't want to be a live streamer anymore. She wouldn't do it even if she were offered 20 million a year. What should we do?"

"Idiot, of course I know she's not interested. I offered her so many good deals before, but she wouldn't take them. Didn't I tell you to use your looks? Are you stupid? Idiot, you can't even handle a little girl, you're so useless. I'll teach you three tricks to pick up girls. Tell her you want to treat her to dinner and you even bought her a Jissbon bottle, so you might become as tall and mighty as James Bond tonight. Also tell her that if she quits being a streamer, you'll give up your 'Prince' account too, and you'll never watch streamers again. If she asks you why, just tell her, 'Because I only want to watch your streams.'" The good guy hung up the phone immediately.

I was really angry after being scolded by that nice guy. What made it even more infuriating was that he didn't even give me a chance to retaliate.

After thinking for a moment, I went to Shanshan's classroom again. She was alone, so I sat down next to her and whispered, "Shanshan, are you really not going to reconsider?"

"Okay, thank you for standing up for me that day, but I really don't want to be a streamer anymore. I know my streamer account has quite a few followers now, so if you need them, you can give them to other girls." Shan Shan spoke softly, sounding a little aggrieved.

Seeing that Shanshan still refused, I secretly glanced at Xier and her four maids. After thinking for a moment, I whispered in Shanshan's ear, "Shanshan, I'd like to invite you to dinner..."

"Dinner? What are you going to do?" Shan Shan asked in surprise, her face turning even redder.

Upon hearing Shan Shan's words, I was stunned. Her question seemed to be related to the three pick-up lines that Little Good Guy had taught me. If I didn't use what Little Good Guy taught me, it seemed like nothing would work. Thinking this, I risked being slapped by her and whispered, "I have a Jissbon in my pocket. I might become as powerful as James Bond tonight."

"Wang Xi, stop messing around. I do like you a little, but I really don't want to be a live streamer anymore..." Shan Shan laughed.

"Alright then, if you stop being a streamer, I'll give up my 'Prince' account too. From now on, I'll never watch streamers again," I said to Shanshan, blinking my eyes.

"Why?" Shanshan blinked her long eyelashes as she looked at me.

“Because I only want to watch your broadcasts…” I said.

"Wang Xi..." Upon hearing my words, Shan Shan's eyes welled up with tears...

Chapter 148 Shanshan

"You little goody-two-shoes, I'll fucking kill you! Look what you've done! It seems like Shanshan has a crush on me now. She even agreed to go out to dinner with me tonight. I have things to do tonight, what am I supposed to do?" My anger flared up the moment I saw the little goody-two-shoes.

"Hehe, then eat it. Then use this, and I guarantee you'll be as mighty as James Bond." The little good guy grinned mischievously and stuffed a small thing into my pocket.

"Get lost! Who wants your junk!" I glared at him fiercely.

Shanshan has agreed to let me be a streamer again. As soon as Xiaohaoren heard the news, he rushed over with an agreement. Seeing my angry expression, Xiaohaoren wasn't angry at all. He put his arm around my shoulder, shoved a cigarette into my mouth, and said, "Young Master, stop pretending. We're both men, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? As far as I know, you've never been with a woman before, right? You haven't married Xi'er yet, so you can do whatever you want before marriage. Shanshan is pretty. She'll soon be the top streamer, a big internet celebrity under my management. Playing around with her won't hurt you, so you should secretly thank me...hehe..."

"Here you go. Go find Shanshan and have her sign the agreement, then take a picture with your phone and send it to me. Keep the agreement with you, give it to me whenever you have time. You'll get half of the profits from this guild, so the guild is practically yours. Here's your bank card too, I'll transfer money into it whenever I have time. If we work together, I guarantee you'll make a killing..." The good guy chuckled as he spoke.

"If this guild gets going, how much money can it make in a year?" I asked after thinking for a moment.

"Haha, it's a year, who knows what policies will be implemented every day. But, I dare not say more, but I can make a small profit of ten million in the first month." The good guy grinned mischievously.

"That donation?" I asked.

"Don't worry about that donation. I guarantee every penny will go to the poor. If I were to actually squander the money, my grandfather wouldn't forgive me. Right now, I'm short on cash. My grandfather is very tight-lipped; he holds a lot of the Hao Ren Group's money. Young Master, I sincerely thank you for lending me so much money to invest. Don't worry, I'll definitely cooperate with you and help you make money." The kind-hearted man patted his chest again, assuring me.

"Okay, as long as you're doing well, that's good. Don't keep messing around with women, and you should quit your drug habit," I said.

"We'll talk about that later. My priority is to help you make money first," he said with a smile. The kind-hearted man lit a cigarette, walked towards his Maserati, and then turned back to me, saying, "Don't stay out too late tonight, okay? Don't interfere with my Shanshan's live stream."

"Get the hell out of here!" I cursed, frowning.

"Hahaha!" With a cigarette dangling from his lips, the good-natured man got into the car, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

After he left, I glanced at the agreement he'd given me. I couldn't help but gasp. A three-year agreement—this seemingly kind man had a heart of stone. Then I looked at the bank card he'd given me. This bank card would likely be one of my sources of income from now on. It was a blessing from my parents that I had this money; my starting point was a bit higher than others. My uncle had given me all his money; whatever he had, that card would have the same amount. Even if I idled away my days, the money in there would be enough for me to live on for a lifetime. But I still wanted to work hard; money earned by myself would be more comfortable to spend.

The more than 70 million yuan I previously raised through a combination of fraud and fundraising has already been lent to "Little Good Guy." I won't think about that money anymore, because it will all be used by "Little Good Guy" for charity. He wouldn't lie to me, and I trust him. Right now, I have two cards: my uncle's small card and the card "Little Good Guy" gave me.

Xiao Haoren is indeed an investment genius. If I become good friends with him, he can definitely help me make a lot of money. Now, my Wang Xi group has gained another member: Lu Zhicheng, my loyal and devoted brother, and Bao Shao Ye, Xiao Haoren, who can help me make money in business.

Thinking about all this, I accidentally touched the Jissbon bag in my pocket. Remembering what Little Good Guy had told me, I felt nervous.

I just see Shanshan as a regular friend.

I have two things to deal with right now. First, I need to have dinner with Shanshan. Second, I need to find Baiyi Bingxin and have him gather his men to solidify our position in the thirteen schools of Nancheng. After some reflection, I think having dinner with Shanshan is more important. Shanshan is about to be crowned the top streamer by Xiaohaoren, and she'll be able to make a lot of money for us. We need to fight Wang You and Liuli, and we need a lot of people. We need a lot of money. Whether it's gathering our brothers to fight for us, treating them to dinner, or paying for their medical treatment if they get injured, all of this requires money.

They really fought with Wang You and Liu Li. I don't have any money, so I definitely can't hold out for long. Besides, with Young Master Bao handling things with Bai Yi Bing Xin, it doesn't matter whether I go or not.

Thinking of this, I went back to class and told An Yao about my plan. After listening to me, An Yao agreed with my opinion. She also felt that Shan Shan was more important, and Bai Yi Bing Xin was secondary. If Bai Yi Bing Xin was still somewhat useful before, we could recruit Run Tu, who was by his side, to become one of our key figures. But now that Run Tu is missing, Bai Yi Bing Xin is practically useless. He's just an ordinary school leader now, and any one of us could easily take him down. We just need to tell him to hand over the power to rule the thirteen schools to us.

"Brother, are you going to take Shanshan as a concubine?" An Yao suddenly asked me.

"What are you talking about? How could I like every single one I see? You've misunderstood. Shanshan and I are just ordinary friends," I quickly said to An Yao.

“Yes. You’d better be careful. There are people from the Yehenara family secretly protecting Xi’er in our vicinity. If you’re too conspicuous, you might displease the Empress Dowager,” An Yao said.

"Okay. I understand." I nodded gently.

After school, as I walked out of the classroom, I couldn't help but glance back at Zhang Xuan. I saw that Zhang Xuan was still silent, packing her things without saying a word.

A pang of pain shot through my heart. I thought for a moment, then went back to Zhang Xuan and said, "Xuanxuan, can I treat you to dinner?"

"You...you're going to treat me to dinner?" Zhang Xuan looked up at me, stunned.

"Yes. I'd like to invite you to dinner." I nodded.

"Is Xi'er going too?" Zhang Xuan asked me after thinking for a moment.

“She’s not going; it’s another friend. Little Good Person is setting up an online guild and needs me to talk to her about it,” I said.

"If you have friends here, let's skip it. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to bother you," Zhang Xuan said after thinking for a moment.

"It's okay. She's Shanshan from Class 3, you know her. We're all from our school, let's go together." Not wanting Zhang Xuan to be alone, I pulled her up.

I'm too busy right now. Zhang Xuan and I have drifted further and further apart. And I can clearly feel that Zhang Xuan no longer loves me. If this continues, we might really become strangers. I can't bear to lose her, and I can't bear to see her all alone.

We took Zhang Xuan with us and went to Class 3 to find Shanshan. Just then, Young Master Bao and his group arrived. They came to find Xi'er and her four maids to go to the 13th Middle School to negotiate with Bai Yi Bingxin.

We exchanged greetings, and I left with Shanshan. I brought Zhang Xuan along for dinner because I was afraid others might misunderstand if they saw us.

But I never dreamed that my unintentional act would bring me such enormous trouble. This trouble completely shattered the existing balance, creating huge upheavals in my life and even dragging me into an abyss. Because of her, this ordinary yet somewhat pretty girl, she almost ruined everything I had.

This seemingly unremarkable girl, who knew no martial arts, was more skilled than any martial arts master.

The most powerful thing in this world is not martial arts, but the human heart.

Shanshan likes me, and it's not just a simple liking; she's even fallen deeply in love with me. She's fallen in love with the prince who casually tossed her a million to suppress other nouveau riche, and who simply told her not to take his side.

He won dignity for her life; he had become her everything.

She was just an ordinary girl, and she would never be as magnanimous as Xi'er. She only wanted to possess that prince alone.

Bathed in the soft candlelight and listening to the elegant violin music, Shan Shan's face gradually paled, yet she still managed a smile. Smiling, she crumpled a room key in her bag. She told herself that this young master before her didn't belong to Xi'er or Zhang Xuan, but only to her!

Chapter 149 Zhang Xuan's Outburst

"Congratulations, your harem has gained another beautiful girl. Shanshan is quite nice, she's very sweet-looking, and your harem doesn't have any girls like her yet." Zhang Xuan said sourly as we walked Shanshan home together.

As dusk fell, the streetlights on both sides of the road shone brightly. Walking side by side with Zhang Xuan, I thought for a moment, then took her hand and said, "Xuanxuan, what kind of person do you take me for? Shanshan and I are just friends. I have no other feelings for her."

"Oh? And what about Xi'er?" Zhang Xuan sneered.
