“See? He’s my boyfriend. I didn’t lie to you, right?”
Zhang Xiaoyu held Lin Yi’s arm and deliberately rubbed against it.
Lin Yi, ‘Why is this so uncomfortable?’
“Daughter, is this really your boyfriend?” Zhang Guoqiang asked.
“Of course it is. He came to pick me up. Do you think I would lie to you?”
“It’s not that. I just don’t think you’re good enough for him.”
Zhang Xiaoyu, “…”
“What are you saying? I’m very outstanding too.”
“But he’s better.”
Zhang Xiaoyu, “…”
“Xiaoyu, don’t you have a plane to catch? Let’s go now, don’t waste any more time,” Zhang Xiaowan said.
“There’s no hurry. It’s a private plane. We can leave at anytime.”
The Zhang family was speechless.
She was even more unworthy.
“Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. We’re leaving.”
As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoyu pushed Lin Yi into the car. The La Voiture Noire soon faded into the distance.
The Zhang family members stood rooted to the ground as if they had been frozen solid.
“I finally know why he could drive straight into the neighborhood. No one dares to stop such an expensive car.”
…
“Brother Lin, your performance just now was really too good. You completely deceived my family,” Zhang Xiaoyu said with a smile.
“I’m just a supporting actor. You did a good job.”
“That’s not true. With Brother Lin’s qualifications, he’ll be the protagonist no matter where he goes.”
“Xiaoyu,” Lin Yi said earnestly.
“What’s wrong? Brother Lin, what are you going to say?”
“Listen to my advice. Don’t wear a swimsuit when you get to Yawan Island. It really doesn’t suit you.”
“Is it really that bad?”
“You rubbed against my arm a few times just now and it turned red. Don’t you feel anything?”
“Um, it’s because I am wearing thin clothes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.”
Lin Yi, …
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoyu’s expression became agitated.
“Brother Lin, I just remembered something. There is a streamer called Long Shuai on Douyu. I think he’s going to Yawan Island to stream as well. He might compete with you for viewers.”
Lin Yi thought for a moment. “I heard from the netizens yesterday that this person seems to be the number one outdoor streamer.”
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s him,” Zhang Xiaoyu said.
“This person is indeed a little powerful. In addition, he has the support of a studio behind him. His popularity is very high. If he wants to compete with you, it might cause a drop in your popularity.”
Lin Yi didn’t take it seriously when the netizens said this, but after hearing Zhang Xiaoyu’s words, it seemed like he had to be careful.
This time, the system’s mission was to get more than 10 million popularity points. Although there were people who had achieved this on Douyu, it was a rare feat.
It would not be good if his viewers were snatched away.
“What’s so great about this guy?”
“He’s extremely good at bragging.”
“Ah? Does he brag a lot?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s dirty.”
“Uh… Haha, Brother Lin, you’re the one that’s too dirty.” Zhang Xiaoyu laughed so hard that she rocked back and forth.
“But you really have to be careful. His bragging skills are truly top-notch. He always claims to have had dinner with some celebrity and even said that he took photos with the presidents of other countries. Most importantly, there are really people who believe him.”
The more Zhang Xiaoyu spoke, the more excited she became.
“Also, I heard that he said that he would do an exclusive interview with a certain celebrity when he goes to Yawan Island. However, it’s probably a gimmick.”
“How’s his relationship with the platform?”
“They definitely have a good relationship. The platform likes streamers who can earn them money.” Zhang Xiaoyu said,
“Other than that, the studio behind him is impressive. Our platform’s number one sister, Bai Bingyu, is from the same studio as him. In short, they’re quite powerful.”
“Logically speaking, this kind of yacht exhibition is a private event. They should only allow certain streamers in. By right, these people shouldn’t have the qualifications.”
“Haha, Brother Lin, aren’t you talking about us?” Zhang Xiaoyu laughed.
“Aren’t we also just streamers? But aren’t we going to Yawan Island too?”
...
“Which streamer around knows the mayor and the former chief of the garrison?” Lin Yi said, “Which streamer lives in Jiuzhou Pavilion and owns the La Voiture Noire?”
“Uh… I forgot about that.”
Only then did Zhang Xiaoyu remember that Brother Lin was not an ordinary person.
“The reason why they can go is because the studio is supporting them.” Zhang Xiaoyu said.
“The bosses of studios like theirs are quite powerful. It’s very likely that they will have received the invitation themselves. It’s likely that they could use their connections to get these invitations for the streamers too.”
Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully. “I understand.”
“By the way, Brother Lin, give me your phone. Let’s start streaming now to warm up.”
Lin Yi handed the phone to Zhang Xiaoyu. “My sunglasses and mask are in the passenger compartment. Bring them over for me.”
“Okay.”
After everything was ready, Zhang Xiaoyu took Lin Yi’s phone and logged into his stream.
“Beauties and gentlemen, the private yacht exhibition on Yawan Island will soon begin.”
...
“Damn, has the live broadcast of Yawan Island started?”
“Please stream the entire process.”
“I’ve prepared a box of instant noodles. I’m going to tune in for four days straight. Streamer, hang in there.”
“Host, what if you get banned?”
“Who the hell would dare to ban me?” Lin Yi said.
“Damn, Brother Mask is so domineering!”
“Eh? What’s going on today? Why isn’t the popularity of the live broadcast room high? We’ve already started streaming, but the popularity is only 200,000. Everyone, please share the link.”
“I think they’ve all gone to Long Shuai’s room. I went to his live stream just now to take a look, and they seem to have already arrived at the airport. His popularity has already reached more than two million.”
“F*ck, all enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. They are actually arriving at the same time as us,” Zhang Xiaoyu complained.
“We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. It’s not good to curse,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Lin Yi was very open-minded about such things.
He would let nature take its course. He could not hold a knife to someone’s neck and stop them from streaming.
Although he had the ability to do this, if he really went through with it, even if he reached 10 million popularity, the system would not deem the mission a success.
Therefore, he had no choice.
“Brother Lin, you’re really the best-tempered rich second-generation heir I’ve ever seen. They are obviously targeting you,” Zhang Xiaoyu said as she turned off the microphone.
“Really?”
“This is because you’ve rapidly risen in Douyu and even have the potential to surpass Long Shuai. They definitely won’t let you succeed easily, which is why they are causing you so much trouble.”
“I get it. This is just industry competition.”
“Yes, yes, yes, and it’s very bad!”
“Alright, calm down. It’s not a big deal. We all need to rely on our own strength to speak.”
“Uh-huh.”
As they drove to the airport, the passersby were attracted by the black steel beast. They stopped and took photos with their phones.
“What are you staring off for?”
“I’ve never seen a private jet before. I’m a little nervous,” Zhang Xiaoyu whispered.
