Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 27 - 26: He’s Been Dead for Over Ten Years, and Now You’re Telling Me He Faces a Deadly Calamity?
The little girl she rescued came from a very wealthy family. Her father was a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in the city.
The reason for the incident today was that their enemy had bribed the family’s nanny, instructing them to take the child to a remote place, where the human traffickers they had arranged would abduct her.
That way, the nanny wouldn’t be under suspicion.
They didn’t expect Hou Yiyun to witness it and stop it, disrupting the entire plan.
After the child’s parents learned of the brave deeds of this young girl, they contacted her immediately to express their gratitude and decided to sponsor her continued education.
And Hou Yiyun was very determined. After studying hard for three years, she successfully entered the university of her dreams and eventually became a lifesaving doctor.
...
But Mu Yunchu didn’t tell them these things.
Instead, she silently sent out the third lucky bag.
As soon as she had finished sending it, Li Shang hurriedly came over, saying someone at the front door was looking for her.
Watching the countdown, she left the livestream briefly.
She saw a familiar person in the store.
Chen Meng.
Seeing Mu Yunchu in person, Chen Meng’s first reaction was astonishment at her unreal beauty, followed by excitement.
"Master..."
"You look even more beautiful than on screen!"
She was there to buy the fate and love talisman discussed during the livestream.
After receiving the item, Chen Meng didn’t leave immediately. "But there’s actually something else. I feel like only you can handle it."
She pursed her lips, murmuring something that made one’s hair stand on end.
"My friend, she seems to be possessed!"
Mu Yunchu frowned a little.
From Chen Meng’s words, it was clear the matter wouldn’t be easily resolved.
Thinking that her livestream was still running, she left Chen Meng and temporarily had Li Shang attend to her.
"Wait for me to finish the livestream and then I’ll go check it out with you."
*
Due to the recent incident with the human traffickers, the popularity of Mu Yunchu’s livestream had increased significantly.
This caught the particular interest of the back end of the Whale platform, which had been keeping an eye on her recently.
In the Whale platform headquarters office, a man in his thirties, dressed in a suit, was half-reclining in his office chair, idly scrolling through videos during work hours.
However, this wasn’t because he was slacking off.
It was actually part of his job duties.
As the platform’s chief executive, he needed to continually use the platform to identify any issues.
Just a few moments into scrolling through some short videos, streams he had followed, hadn’t followed, or lingered on started to pop up.
Though there was no one else in the office, he nodded as if in conversation.
"Good, just like that."
"Livestream rooms can’t appear too frequently, or they’ll get annoyed. It’s this kind of subtlety that attracts their attention."
What seemed ordinary was actually meticulously designed.
Scrolling just like that, Mu Yunchu’s livestream naturally appeared.
He nodded, feeling that the timing was right, and clicked inside.
Remembering something, he picked up the phone beside his desk and called the assistant from the next office in.
As soon as the assistant entered, Lin Tianyou got straight to the point: "How is it going with signing this streamer I asked you to contact?"
Although they were a short video platform, they actually nurtured their own streamers.
After all, opportunities this profitable were not to be missed.
But their entry requirements were far more stringent than those of the so-called self-media brokerage companies outside.
It could be said that streamers signed by them, even the lowest tier, could outshine other small streamers.
They had taken notice of Mu Yunchu on her very first day of signing up and going live on the platform.
Not just because of her star-quality appearance, but also the topic of her streams.
Livestream fortune-telling was rarely done with such reach across the entire internet.
However, at that time, he was merely observing.
By her second livestream, the massive turnover in the stream had fully convinced him of his foresight.
This girl was definitely a promising stock!
Regardless of her occupation, the fact she received such expensive gifts without anyone ’hyping’ her as a celebrity means Mu Yunchu definitely had something special.
Lin Tianyou had always had a good eye for talent and immediately instructed his subordinates to have the team responsible for streamers draft a contract to send to her.
Now an hour had passed, so there should be some feedback.
"She..." The assistant opened his mouth.
Before he could finish, Lin Tianyou eagerly added:
"Did she sign it with joy?"
He wore a very confident smile.
As if saying: everything is within my control.
Assistant: "No..."
Lin Tianyou interrupted: "I understand, considering I offered an A-grade contract to a streamer who just joined the platform a little over a week ago, it seems rather absurd."
"But soon you’ll realize my decision was the right one!"
Assistant: "..."
"I was about to say she rejected us."
Lin Tianyou waved his hand dismissively: "I get it."
With a smile still on his face.
Upon processing what he actually heard, he instantly shot up from his chair like a spring-loaded toy with a broken part.
"What did you say!?"
"Rejected???"
"She actually rejected it???" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Were it not for believing his boss’s mood couldn’t handle his dark humor at the moment, the assistant would have added:
"The woman, she successfully caught your attention."
Completely unaware of the assistant’s inner world at the moment, Lin Tianyou was full of disbelief.
"No, rejected?"
"How is that even possible?"
Seeing she started livestreaming and receiving money, it indicated her intention to be a streamer.
The A-level contract he offered was the platform’s top-tier streamer contract, which had less restriction and demand on streamers. Despite promising promotional benefits, they only took a 60% cut, just a 10% increase from the standard platform rate.
To put things in perspective, the entire platform only had about a dozen A-grade streamers. A newcomer like her was unheard of.
And yet, she rejected it!
Both angry and utterly puzzled, he sat back forcefully in his chair, struggling to calm himself as he asked: "If she didn’t accept it, what was her reason?"
The assistant hesitantly spoke:
"She was still streaming at the time, so she didn’t say much."
"I only remember one thing she said,"
"I won’t give even a cent to them..."
Lin Tianyou: ???
What?
He chuckled in disbelief.
If not for the health report he received just yesterday, he would have doubted his own hearing.
"She said she wouldn’t even give us a cent?"
The assistant nodded.
"Alright then." Lin Tianyou clenched his teeth and pounded his fist on the desk, "I want to see how capable she really is."
After asking the assistant to leave, he refocused on his phone.
Only to be startled by the notification of having won a lucky bag.
Won a lucky bag?
Did he just win one?
Honestly, he was so infuriated by Mu Yunchu that his head was throbbing, he couldn’t remember if he had clicked into any lucky bag.
Mu Yunchu had already settled Chen Meng and returned to the livestream. Her voice came through, asking if he could go on-mic for a connection.
Initially wanting to refuse in anger, Lin Tianyou hesitated as he raised his hand.
He switched to request the connection instead.
Filled with anger in his eyes, he wanted to show Mu Yunchu just how tough this platform life could be.
Just a self-righteous novice.
When the video connected, everyone froze seeing his expression.
[Why does this guy seem a bit upset?]
[Could it be that he’s discovered the trait shared by all those lucky enough to win in this stream?]
"Trait? What trait?"
[The trait is that all the winners have bad luck.]
Lin Tianyou: ???
On the brink of rage, Mu Yunchu cleared her throat and interrupted him.
"For one Starship, what would you like me to calculate?"
Lin Tianyou’s eyes flickered, and he swiftly swiped the money.
Then, with a mysterious grin, he sent over a birthdate.
"Streamer, if you know how to tell fortunes, you should be able to read a birthdate too, right?"
"Help me take a look at this birthdate."
After sending it to her via private chat, he crossed his arms, leaning back to watch and wait to see Mu Yunchu’s impending embarrassment.
She looked at it for a while, made her calculations, and then with a serious expression asked: "What is this person’s relationship to you?"
"My father."
Mu Yunchu put down what was in her hands, seriously looking at him through the screen, "He will face a deadly calamity within seven days."
"Huh???" Lin Tianyou’s expression grew bizarre.
While viewers in the livestream chat expressed concern for him, Lin Tianyou, the subject of the situation, suddenly began to laugh uncontrollably.
"Hahaha..."
"Are you okay!"
"My dad has been dead for over ten years, and you’re telling me he has a deadly calamity now?"
[???]
