Chapter 50 - Scammers nowadays are too vile


Edited by Divetus and Noks


The person involved was dumbfounded, so it was needless to say that all the uninformed viewers were also dumbfounded.


[Surpa.s.sed! Surpa.s.sed laoshu!! Holy s.h.i.+t, are all new anchors this belligerent?]


[Hey wait… what’s going on ah? Boss 1 got forced down from the rankings right after he left the stream?? I’m not allowing it!!]


[Yanyan’s Daddy? Why do I think this name sounds weird… Yanyan’s Daddy? First warning for insulting the anchor’s family!]


[If you don’t vote, I won’t vote, so when will Xiao Yan rise above?! Sending out a little star! Go, crush and kill the shady anchor laoshu!!]


[You’re all hilarious. laoshu fans weren’t smas.h.i.+ng any gifts because the rankings were stable, okay? In a bit, this anchor will be pressed down again. Don’t get so excited, you guys all look so unsightly.]


As the number of viewers in the stream slowly rose, the number of antis did too. Since a fullscreen chat ban would stop the entire barrage chat, thus reducing popularity points, the small stream moderator decided to be diligent by banning people one by one.


Yu Yan had never received so many gifts. From the other end of the call, he heard a knock on the door shortly followed by an unfamiliar female voice. “President Yi, this is a hard copy of today’s meeting minutes. I’ve sent the electronic doc.u.ment to your email, and…”


“Noted.” Yi Chen interrupted her. He narrowed his eyes and looked down at the ongoing voice call on his phone. “I still have things to do here. I’m hanging up first, have a good stream.”


“… Okay.” Yu Yan replied and then hurriedly added, “Let’s talk again at night!”


Yi Chen laughed and let out an “en” sound.


The secretary held the doc.u.ments tightly as her eyes almost overflowed with curiosity bubbling up from her heart. Although she maintained a high level of professionalism, gossip was a woman’s nature.


She had been working for this big boss for three years, and during this time, it wasn’t like she had never been attracted to him. However, it had already been a long time… those feelings were already long gone. She had seen many people come and go, someone stepping up as soon as another fell, but not a single person had ever succeeded.


But now, she was met with the sight of her boss smiling and laughing with someone… while on a voice call?


Yi Chen ended the call and his smile almost instantly disappeared. “You can continue.”


The secretary quickly gathered her thoughts and staidly read out the dinner invitations that Yi Chen had received today. Not only were his business partners on the list of names, it also contained names of brokers, little flowers of the entertainment circle, directors…


Recently, the Yida Group had announced its intentions to enter the entertainment industry. Within a few days after this news was released, an endless stream of visitors was seen.


While the secretary reported the received invitations, Yi Chen’s eyes still remained on the computer screen next to him.


The young man said something that Yi Chen couldn’t discern and then directly implemented a fullscreen chat ban. He then conscientiously continued playing the game, not concerned about anything else.


Yi Chen lightly flicked his index finger and was mentally filtering through the dinner party invitations when his cellphone dinged.


Mo Nancheng: Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together, I found a delicious restaurant.


He glanced at the message indifferently and was just about to ignore it when he suddenly thought of something.


After a while, he said, “Refuse them all. I have an appointment tonight.”


The secretary nodded. “Alright.”


In a French restaurant, two well-dressed and tall men amiably sat together.


“How is it, the steak is pretty good ba?” Mo Nancheng asked with a smile.


Yi Chen tried a bit and generously evaluated the taste. “En.”


Mo Nancheng gloated, “I specifically invited this chef through much persuasion.”


Yi Chen raised his eyebrows. “Did you open this restaurant?”


“Can’t really be considered to be that,” Mo Nancheng replied. “I opened it for Xiaomin.”


Yi Chen asked, “That female DJ?”


“No,” Mo Nancheng frowned. “You don’t even know Xiaomin? She’s extremely popular this year; I had to chase her for half a month before I caught her.”


Chasing her for half a month, then what was going on with that female DJ?


When Mo Nancheng mentioned this, Yi Chen finally vaguely recalled that Xiaomin was on the shortlist for the female lead role in one of his company’s film projects.


Yi Chen took a sip of red wine. “Are you not afraid of retribution?”


“Why should I get retribution?” Mo Nancheng knew what Yi Chen was referring to and laughed. “Besides, we weren’t together before. Whatever I did before isn’t Xiaomin’s business ah.”


Yi Chen didn’t waste any words on him.


He had refused so many dinner invitations to come here, and it wasn’t just to listen to Mo Nancheng talk about his messy affairs.


“Usually, you…” He pondered over the sentence before asking, “How do you deal with people who like you?”


Mo Nancheng was taken aback for a moment before laughing. “What do you mean ah? There are so many people that like me, how do you think I deal with them?”


Yi Chen glanced at him lightly, and Mo Nancheng finally understood.


Mo Nancheng replied, “Then, it depends on how I feel about her ah.”


Mo Nancheng leaned forward and asked, “Have you two done it?”


Yi Chen’s eyebrows furrowed. “No.”


Mo Nancheng naturally thought that since they hadn’t done it, then Yi Chen definitely didn’t like that person.


He was very experienced in this area, so he said, “The first step is to never reply to her messages.”


Yi Chen: “?”


Mo Nancheng continued, “But, you shouldn’t completely stop replying ah.”


In terms of admirers, it was always better to have one more than one less. Anyway, one was willing to give a beating while the other was willing to take it; no one could be blamed, so it was more beneficial to hang onto the person.


“You should reply to her messages about once every three days ba. Say h.e.l.lo, casually write a few words and then continue giving her the cold-shoulder.”


“…” Yi Chen had a complex expression on his face. “I meant, if you want to continue being friends with that person.”


“Friend?” Mo Nancheng scoffed. “Who’s short on friends these days ah?”


Yi Chen gave up. “Forget it.” He shouldn’t have come to ask Mo Nancheng about this.


Mo Nancheng thought about it and then clearly understood. “You don’t like him that way, but you also don’t want to give him the cold-shoulder?”


Yi Chen raised his eyes. “Yes.”


“Well ah, this problem is easy to deal with.” Mo Nancheng laughed, snapped his fingers, and laid out his well thought out plan for such situations. “Just do it once with him.”


Yi Chen: “…”


“Really ah. Right now, you still find him fresh. Once you’ve obtained him, you’ll be cured of these feelings.”


Yi Chen frowned and stared at him for a long time. He had a disdainful expression on his face as he concluded, “You’re a real b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”


Ultimately, he realized that such a description still wasn’t enough, so he coldly added, “Slag man.”


Mo Nancheng: “…”


Mo Nancheng: “?”



That night, Yu Yan had just returned home when the group chat called “1YanTang” initiated a voice chat.


As soon as he entered the chat, he heard Lulu exclaim, “Xiao Yan, you’re too awesome. Quickly let me touch some of that luckiness; I also want to meet a big boss!”


Yu Yan tactfully reminded her, “Your stream has eight Guardians.”


“Don’t you see how many years I’ve been livestreaming for? It’s been so many years yet I only have eight Guardians, which is nothing to boast about.” Lulu asked, “How did Yanyan’s Daddy come about?”


Tuantuan said, “Hey, they even pushed 1 down. We don’t know if 1 will try to climb back up tomorrow; just thinking about it is so exciting!”


Yu Yan replied, “He won’t.”


“How can you be sure of that? I can tell from Boss 1’s face that he’s the type of man who refuses to lose!”


Yu Yan asked, “Where did you see his face?”


“In my heart.”


“…”


“Is Yanyan’s Daddy here to push your rank up to make you the Kills King of the Year?” Tuantuan asked, “I saw that he stopped spamming gifts after you got first place.”


There wasn’t anything to hide here, so Yu Yan nodded. “En”


“Tch, what a waste.” Tuantuan said, “You shouldn’t have partic.i.p.ated in the Kills King of the Year t.i.tle; that kind of small award doesn’t suit you at all. If you were partic.i.p.ating in the Best Anchor of the Year compet.i.tion, maybe that boss would’ve been ruthless and made you number one there.”


When he heard that, Yu Yan couldn’t help but open the StarTV app to glance at the Best Anchor of the Year compet.i.tion statistics.


The anchor in first place was a retired LoL pro. His popularity points were… 7 million.


Yu Yan thought that he had misread it. He re-read it three times.


It really was seven digits.


What stage of the compet.i.tion was it ah? To think that someone already had 7 million popularity points??


Although he knew it was impossible, Yu Yan couldn’t help but consider the idea. If 1 really got him to be the ranked one in the Best Anchor of the Year compet.i.tion…


Yu Yan quickly withdrew the idea; if that was the case, even his life wouldn’t be enough to pay 1 back with.


“Xiao Yan, since your computer is gone, come play some mobile games with us?” Tuantuan asked. “I’m a hundred times better at PUBG Mobile than the real version. I can absolutely carry you.”


Yu Yan had never played PUBG Mobile before, so when he heard that, he was actually kind of interested.


“Okay…”


Before he had finished speaking, a message notification popped up at the top of his phone.


[1: At home?]


“… but it’s late.” The words he was about to say took a big turn in his mouth. “I still have to go to the Internet cafe tomorrow, next time ba.”


He then quickly left the group voice chat and flipped over to WeChat.


Little Anchor: En, just got home.


1: Oh. Do you want to see the cat today?


Yi Chen held both his cellphone and the cat. He thought that if the little anchor refused again, then he would probably release the cat soon.


He watched as the other party’s side displayed the ‘typing’ notification for two minutes.


Little Anchor: … Want to see.


Yi Chen’s knit brows relaxed. That was more like it.


The video call connected, and Yu Yan, as usual, snuck a peek at what was behind the cat. He found that the man tonight wasn’t the same as he had been in the previous calls; he was no longer dressed in a tailored suit.


Right now, he wore dark blue pajamas and had the sleeves of the top slightly rolled up, thereby showing the strong arms holding the cat.


Yu Yan quickly took his gaze back and said, “I’ll pay you 20,000 back first… As for the rest, I’ll return it to you after I get my salary. It is paid to me at the end of the month. Is that okay?”


“Return what?” Yi Chen said, “Didn’t I tell you before? Just keep whatever I give you.”


“Yes, but this time it’s too much,” Yu Yan said. “… If I keep it, then I’ll be fl.u.s.tered.”


“Then be fl.u.s.tered.”


“Ah?”


“You have to remember how good I am to you.” Yi Chen said, “That way, if you don’t pay attention to me in the future, you’ll have an uneasy conscience.”


“…”


Yi Chen laughed and kneaded the cat’s ears.


He had already thought it through.


If the little anchor liked him, then he could just continue liking him ba.


In any case, Yi Chen wouldn’t treat him badly.


It was fine even if the little anchor wanted to like him for his entire lifetime.


The money transfer request had already been sent. Yi Chen refused it and leisurely asked, “Will your computer be back tomorrow?”


“… It’ll be back the day after tomorrow.”


“Then what about tomorrow?”


“Will keep going to the Internet cafe ba.”


Going to the Internet cafe again?


Thinking of that young girl who kept pestering him at that Internet cafe, Yi Chen pulled open a drawer, found the doc.u.ments he had brought back from the company and flipped through several pages before finding the required information.


He checked the address on the doc.u.ment, but his eyes wandered to a certain information box and his eyebrows raised.


The next day, Yu Yan was awakened by a knock on his door.


He squinted at the time—it was only eight in the morning.


He rubbed his eyes while opening the door and looked suspiciously at the deliveryman who was holding a big box in front of him. “… What’s this?”


“h.e.l.lo, congratulations on winning our company’s grand prize.” The delivery-man said while smiling, “This is the prize—a PC with super high specifications. Please sign for it.”


“…”


Yu Yan was stunned and looked at him warily. He waved his hand in dismissal. “I didn’t take part in any lotteries. You’ve delivered this to the wrong person ba.”


“There’s no mistake. You’ve bought our company’s products before and entered the lottery list by default.”


Yu Yan said, “When I purchase things, I examine the details carefully; there weren’t any lottery links. Please leave ba.”


“But this…”


Yu Yan didn’t listen any more and directly closed the door, blocking both the delivery-man and computer outside.


Little Anchor: How could meat pies just fall from the sky? It’s definitely a scam.


Yi Chen, who had just heard that the PC was returned: … What if you really won something?


Little Anchor: No way. After using it for two days, I’d definitely be billed for it. Fortunately, I was the target. If it was some old person living alone, they really might have fallen for it.


Little Anchor: Scammers nowadays are too vile!


1: …



Juurensha: Waaaah, Boss Yi, you’re saying stuff like, ‘he can like me all his life, that’s fine’ and you still don’t think you like him??? Also hahaha secret sugar daddy scheme foiled by Yanyan being too suspicious. And Mo Nancheng is such a f.u.c.kboi, although I guess at least he’s very accepting of his best friend being gay.


Divi: Yi Chen and XHZ (from GHFOD) are the same. They’re both like “it’s better if they like me, since I’m so good” LMAO. Honestly though, everyone would be super suspicious about that PC being delivered right? Mo Nancheng, such a slag man, but at least he keyed into Yi Chen talking about a male.
