Chapter 550: I’ve Returned
The mockery on Xu Xinyao’s bullet screen was not known by Xue Xi, who was reading seriously, and Qin Shuang, who was taking a nap out of boredom.
Even two hours later, no one else had returned.
Seeing that Xu Xinyao’s live-stream was more popular than Qin Shuang’s, the film crew could not help but say, “Qin Shuang’s live-stream already has an extremely high number of viewers. If we ask for a reward now, we might be able to destroy Xu Xinyao’s live-stream in no time. Sigh, what a pity. I’m afraid these two people are not good enough.”
Everyone else nodded.
In the waiting room.
Xue Xi had already put away the book in her hand. She opened her bag and continued to take out her books.
Her movements were very light, but Qin Shuang still woke up. In her daze, she asked, “Sister Xi, are you done? What do you want to read next?”
Xue Xi took out the finance book that she was going to read and waved it in front of her. “I’ll read this to see how to earn money.”
Qin Shuang was stunned. “Sister Xi, do you lack money?”
Xue Xi nodded. “Yes, I’m so poor.”
Qin Shuang had never seen her bank card, but she knew how much the Xue family doted on Sister Xi. How could they really make their daughter poor? The corners of her mouth twitched, but she did not take it seriously.
But the people on the bullet screen had reached a climax.
“Ah, Sister Xi said that she’s very poor. It’s unreasonable for a straight-A student to be so poor. Though I’m a student, I’ll contribute 10 yuan to you. Sister Xi, please accept it.”
“—I have 100 yuan here. Please accept it, Sister Xi.”
“I have money too. I support Sister Xi!”
…
Looking at the small amounts of tips rising, the production team: “???”
No, the gap between her and Xu Xinyao was too big. At this rate, Qin Shuang would probably never surpass her.
Just as they were thinking about this, someone suddenly tipped 100,000 yuan on the bullet screen. The person was called Big Fish.
Following that, another 100,000 yuan was given by a few people, and another one rewarded 200,000 yuan.
In an instant, there were hundreds of thousands of people. Just as they were about to surpass Xu Xinyao, Big Fish tipped another 100,000.
It was overkill.
The production team: “…”
So, with just one sentence from Sister Xi and Qin Shuang, they could inexplicably get a lot of gifts?
Of course, the production team knew that Xu Xinyao’s tipper was Xu Xinyao’s management company. When the 10 million yuan reward was given, the production team would give her management company 5 million yuan back.
Other than this fake big brother, there weren’t many big shots who could tip 100,000 yuan in one go. Now, in Sister Xi’s live-stream, there were quite a few of them!
Similarly, the director reminded the production crew to thank them.
Hence, in the room:
The staff said, “Sister Xi, you’re not poor anymore.”
Xue Xi: “?”
She raised her head in confusion and looked at the staff. The staff smiled and said, “The tips in our live-stream are to be split evenly between you and the production team. And just now, your fans were super awesome. They have already tipped a lot of money.”
A lot of money…
Xue Xi asked in confusion, “How much?”
The staff member said, “A small reward of one yuan, ten yuan, a hundred yuan, and a thousand yuan added up to about 200,000 yuan. A few people gave 100,000 yuan directly, and two people gave 200,000 yuan. Do you want to thank them?”
Xue Xi: “?”
All in all, it was only a million yuan. How was that a lot of money?
However, the students did not have much money. Xue Xi said, “Yes, thank you.”
The staff: “…”
Helpless, the staff could only say, “I would like to thank the following for the 100,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan reward. They are Big Fish, Little Bottle, White Water, and Flying…”
The staff member felt very tired.
In other people’s live-streams, they would take the initiative to thank their big brother.
In their live-stream room, the staff had to shout out their names!
After all, these big brothers had tipped them. Only by giving their names a shoutout could they give them a sense of presence and superiority!
As the staff made the shoutouts, Xue Xi suddenly looked up. Why did these names sound a little familiar?
Just as she was feeling puzzled, the staff member continued, “Oh, the last person to thank is Fang Fang for giving us 200,000 yuan.”
Xue Xi: “…”
A faint warmth suddenly welled up in her heart.
…
Huaxia University, on the 19th floor of the activity building, in a room.
Yu Da suddenly raised his head and looked at the others. The hot-tempered youth held back and couldn’t help but say, “I told you to be anonymous. Why aren’t you anonymous?”
Bottle said, “Well, you only tweaked your name. So did I.”
Water: “I also rebelled.”
Flight: “Me too.”
Fang Fang, whose presence was very low, silently looked up at Yu Da and slowly said, “I also rebelled.”
The rest: “…”
Yu Da said stubbornly, “This makes it sound like we’re trying to curry favor with her. Actually, it’s just because she’s not as popular as Xu Xinyao and we think she’s pitiful.”
Bottle: “…Yes, I spent a hundred thousand yuan to support her because she’s pitiful.”
Flight nodded as well. “Yeah. I don’t know if anyone else believes me, but I do.”
Water even coughed. “Some people really don’t mean what they say. Couldn’t they just admit their mistakes and coax someone back? Why did they have to do it this way—tsk tsk.”
Fang Fang looked at Wu Tu and asked, “Is she really not coming back?”
Wu Tu pursed his lips.
…
In the production team.
After the staff praised her, he said, “There’s about a million. The production team will directly give you and Qin Shuang 500,000. You have 250,000 now. Sister Xi, are you still poor?”
Xue Xi: “…”
What could this amount of money do?
Sigh.
She sighed quietly and looked at the camera. She said seriously, “Don’t tip me. Your money is useless to me.”
The staff member was speechless.
He could not help but ask, “Sister Xi, don’t you care about 250,000? Then, what’s the matter? Do you need a lot of money?”
Xue Xi nodded.
The staff: “How much do you need?”
Xue Xi: “200 billion.”
“…”
The staff member expressed that this joke was not funny at all.
He smiled awkwardly.
On the bullet screen, everyone laughed. “Hahaha, Sister Xi, you’re too funny!”
Xue Xi stared at the screen and sighed silently.
Whatever. No one would listen if she told the truth.
Meanwhile, Xu Xinyao’s fans had already started mocking her.
“So what if there were many people giving gifts? A total of one million yuan is not even a tenth of what Xu Xinyao received!”
“Is the purchasing power of these ten million people so low? Is it because they are all students?”
“——Among the ten million of you, there’s actually not a single real big shot. It’s really funny. But I heard that your popularity score can be lowered because of this!”
Just as everyone was about to continue mocking her, the comments exploded.
