Chapter 44: Sign It, It Has to Be Signed

Don’t think Ling Xiaoli didn’t know that even top-tier, first-line streamers could only get 50% of all tipping revenue!

So could someone please explain to her what all of this meant?

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. It was Luo Zhaoyin.

“Xiaoli, it’s me.”

Ling Xiaoli opened the door in a daze, then walked back to the guest room chair like a sleepwalker and continued staring blankly at the computer.

“Xiaoli, what’s wrong?”

Luo Zhaoyin immediately noticed that something was off with Ling Xiaoli.

Earlier, Luo Zhaoyin had promised Ling Xiaoli that she would keep an eye on Weibo. She had a gut feeling that something major would happen that night, so after returning home, she hadn’t put her phone down.

Sure enough, what happened on Weibo afterward nearly made her furious. If she hadn’t promised Xiaoli not to speak up before the situation was turned around, she would have posted ten Weibo updates to clarify everything!

She was even more worried about how Xiaoli planned to turn the situation around.

Then the reversal came, and it was spectacularly executed.

So shouldn’t Xiaoli be happy right now? Why was she in this state?

“A-Yin, would a company ever support you for no reason, without wanting any benefits in return?”

Luo Zhaoyin blurted out, “The company your parents own.”

“Exactly.” Ling Xiaoli’s expression became even stranger. “I also thought that apart from my parents, no one else would do something like this. But what is going on?”

She looked at Luo Zhaoyin and pointed toward the computer screen.

Luo Zhaoyin hurried over.

A moment later, there were two sleepwalkers in Room 1330.

Luo Zhaoyin was utterly puzzled.

“Xiaoli, this is really strange. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?”

Ling Xiaoli spread her hands.

“As long as I sign this contract, whatever conspiracy they have won’t be able to do anything to me, right?”

As she spoke, she added with a laugh, “Could it be that they’re just trying to smear me one more time? Expose the contract and claim I’ve latched onto a company executive? Hahaha!”

Luo Zhaoyin burst out laughing.

“Then they’d be taking a huge loss. By the way, are you sure the other party really is Dou Shou Live?”

“Mm, I confirmed it. The email that sent the contract is from Dou Shou’s official email address.”

“Since you’ve confirmed it, then sign it?”

“Then… should I sign it?”

“Sign it! It absolutely has to be signed!”

……

After confirming the contract, Ling Xiaoli honestly told Luo Zhaoyin about her plan.

When Ling Xiaoli explained, she didn’t directly accuse Su Xuan. Instead, she first brought up how she had inexplicably been dragged into the trending searches at the beginning.

She also mentioned that over the past few days, she had always felt that Su Xuan’s attitude toward her was strange, so she had set up this trap to test things out.

And as it turned out, someone really was causing trouble. Of course, she wasn’t certain whether that person was Su Xuan.

Luo Zhaoyin felt somewhat conflicted upon hearing this. She had always thought Su Xuan was a pretty good person.

However, she trusted Ling Xiaoli’s judgment more, because she trusted Ling Xiaoli.

So Luo Zhaoyin agreed to be more watchful of Su Xuan from then on.

“A-Yin, you don’t just need to keep an eye on her. You need to be especially careful! Listen to the way she talks. It’s absolutely dripping with that green-tea flavor.”

“Hey, I didn’t notice it before you said that, but now that you mention it, she really does seem a little like that!”

“Right? Right? Stay away from Su Xuan and stay safe!”

“Haha, okay!”

………

Su Xuan, who had been relentlessly given the cold shoulder by Ling Xiaoli, nearly ground her teeth to pieces when she first learned that the situation had turned around.

Well, Ling Xiaoli!

You’re not so simple after all!

Don’t be fooled by the things Ling Xiaoli said in the livestream, such as how lucky she was and how things had turned out so wonderfully.

Even some netizens thought the whole thing had been a little too coincidental. How could Su Xuan not have felt the same way?

Thinking back to Ling Xiaoli’s behavior throughout the day, she immediately concluded that this whole thing had to be a trap set by Ling Xiaoli.

Fortunately, she had always been cautious. Whether it was getting someone to steal the song or contacting Yuan Yuan, she had made sure to have people pass messages through several intermediaries. No matter how the matter was investigated in the end, it would never lead back to her.

Otherwise……
