Ji Siyue was now utterly confused.
What the hell was this?
Was this woman trying to extort money from her by faking an accident?
Well, it was understandable. After all, as a new anchor, she had to create some drama to increase her exposure!
"Qianqian, right? I know you've been quite popular recently, but I have no obligation to play the straight - man for you. And I'm just a bit cold - tempered. Some people say I'm very enthusiastic when I'm with my master. That's natural. He's my boyfriend. He treats me well, so I treat him differently. But for others, it's all the same. I don't want to do a joint live - stream today, Comrade Qianqian. Keep up the good work in your live - stream!"
After saying that, Ji Siyue hung up the joint live - stream.
Even Ji Siyue herself didn't quite understand why she was so angry today after hanging up the phone.
"This anchor is so fierce!"
"Don't take things out of context, the one above. I think Yuebing (Ji Siyue's nickname) is angry because some of a certain person's fans were inexplicably bringing up her master. That's why she got angry."
"Exactly. She came up on her own and still expects others to be nice to her?"
"Come on, everyone. Stop talking. Just watch the live - stream quietly. Otherwise, someone will start to create trouble again!"
Ji Siyue's mood was ruined by that Qianqian today. Coupled with her concerns about things in the base, she ended the live - stream early.
Just as she finished packing up and was about to go to the base, her phone was bombarded with calls from Liu Fanghua.
"Hello? Sister Fanghua? What's up?"
"What's up? You've stirred up trouble!"
"What?" Ji Siyue had a look of complete confusion on her face. But she could sense something unusual from Liu Fanghua's tone. She put down what she was doing, sat down, and listened. "What happened?"
"Did you do a joint live - stream with an anchor named Qianqian during your live - stream today?"
"Yeah. She came to me on her own."
"And then you hung up on her and said some harsh words before hanging up?"
"… Sort of."
She just had a harsh tone, but what she said was the truth. Maybe it sounded harsh to them.
By now, Ji Siyue had vaguely guessed that it was related to Qianqian. But she was curious about what could be so serious that even Sister Fanghua said she had "stirred up trouble".
"Do you know who that Qianqian is?"
"Who?"
Hearing Ji Siyue's rather nonchalant tone on the phone, Liu Fanghua was furious. She roared, "She's the niece of the boss of the live - streaming platform! She came to the platform for fun, but she felt wronged as soon as she arrived. Look at the trouble you've gotten yourself into!"
"… A rich young lady came to experience life and I happened to run into her?"
"Yeah! Now your boss is talking about this. Although he won't break off the cooperation with our company for his niece, since our company has so many high - quality live - streamers, it was still your fault. You must go and apologize, or this matter won't be easily resolved."
Ji Siyue was silent for a while. Then she suddenly lay down and looked at the ceiling of her room. "Sister Fanghua, did you watch my live - stream today?"
"No."
"I upload the recorded live - stream every day. Go and watch it before you talk to me about this."
After saying that, Liu Fanghua hung up the phone on her own. Ji Siyue didn't rush to do her own things. Instead, she sat there quietly waiting.
Less than half an hour later, Liu Fanghua called again.
"Finished watching?"
"Just watched that part."
"So?"
"You still need to apologize, Siyue. I know you're wronged, but you can't make things difficult for the platform, and you can't make things difficult for me."
"… Yeah, I don't want to apologize. I'm not wrong. It was her fans who started creating trouble without knowing the truth. Go and check. See if those people creating trouble are all her fans. They can say whatever they want about me, but they can't involve innocent people. That's my bottom line. If I have to go against my bottom line to live - stream on this platform, then I'd rather stop live - streaming. Bye. I'm busy."
This was the first time in two years that Ji Siyue had spoken to Liu Fanghua in such a tone.
Actually, Ji Siyue was quite easy - going. Usually, she would just let things go with a word.
But as she said today, that person was her bottom line.
She knew the company wanted to make money, but some things couldn't be easily compromised.
When Ji Siyue arrived at the base after packing her things, the people upstairs were still training. Judging from their expressions, there didn't seem to be any new progress. The atmosphere was a bit tense.
Ji Siyue didn't disturb them. She just stood there on one side.
"Let's stop here for now. Take a break and we'll discuss it later."
After Qin Chengyao gave the order, he walked directly towards Ji Siyue. Then he grabbed her wrist and went downstairs.
"You noticed me a long time ago? I thought you wouldn't notice others when you were playing games!"
"I wouldn't notice others, but you're not just anyone." Qin Chengyao reached out and tucked the loose hair behind Ji Siyue's ear. Then he asked, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"Nothing…"
Ji Siyue lowered her head, and her nose couldn't help but feel a bit sour.
It wasn't that she was being overly emotional. She had controlled her emotions before coming here. But now, as soon as she heard what Qin Chengyao said, she couldn't hold back her grievances.
"Still saying nothing?" Qin Chengyao hugged Ji Siyue in his arms and said helplessly, "Tell me if you have something on your mind. How long do you want to keep it to yourself?"
"I'm not keeping it to myself. I just had something unpleasant during the live - stream today, but I can handle it myself. Don't worry!"
"Yeah, you can do whatever you want."
"Okay. I'll order take - out for you. You go back upstairs first. It seems that you've encountered some problems in today's training."
Qin Chengyao was also quite helpless. "This kind of situation is really unexpected, but don't worry. I'll solve it. Go ahead."
After Ji Siyue left, Qin Chengyao made a phone call.
"Hello? Check what happened during Siyue's live - stream today and then tell me."
After making the call and going upstairs, Qin Chengyao saw Bai Yu leaning on the railing at a glance.
"Didn't you say you'd let her handle it herself?"
Qin Chengyao walked over and playfully hit his arm with a smile. "Whether she can handle it herself is her business. Whether I should care is mine. Were you just eavesdropping?"
"Ouch… You've become so fussy since you're in love. Alright! Come and have a meeting. We've discussed it. Come and listen."
Qin Chengyao: "Okay."
The few of them sat down on the sofa on the second floor. Xing Xing was sitting in the middle, looking a bit nervous.
