"Once upon a time, I was just a wage - earner. Now, I'm a money - maker. These two are different. It's only natural for me to be cold - blooded."
"A person should act according to their position. You've done a great job, Siyue. Let me take you to the meeting room. All the company's senior executives are waiting!"
"Okay."
Inside the meeting room, Ji Siyue felt strange seeing those senior executives who once forced her to apologize because of that anchor Qianqian now smiling obsequiously and trying to please her.
After finalizing the contract, Ji Siyue took the signed contract from the other party and promptly signed her own name.
Seeing Ji Siyue sign, the general manager sighed, "My position ends here. I hope you can really turn the company around."
Ji Siyue capped her pen and said, "Turning the company around is not just empty talk. Don't worry. You can still be the general manager. I'll only provide financial support. Additionally, I need to make some adjustments to the company's operation mode and other details. I'll inform you later. I have things to do in my own company, so I won't join you for dinner. Let's save this meal for the celebration banquet."
Liu Fanghua stood behind, looking at Ji Siyue with a flickering gaze.
She was extremely confident and determined, just like the bright moon in the night sky, illuminating them all.
In the darkness, there were numerous stars, but only one moon. Now, Ji Siyue showed such confidence and was so dazzling.
It turned out that time really could change a person beyond recognition.
After Ji Siyue walked outside, she said to Liu Fanghua, "I'll return to the platform for live - streaming. After all, I have my own popularity. The incident of me revealing my identity accidentally added some popularity to my comeback. I'm too lazy to prepare by myself. You can send a set of the company's live - streaming equipment to my home."
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Siyue took a few steps forward and suddenly stopped. Looking at Liu Fanghua, she said, "By the way, you're still my agent. Remember to prepare a beauty camera!"
After Ji Siyue left, Liu Fanghua's eyes suddenly turned red.
She lowered her head and silently said, "Thank you."
...
Two days passed, and Ji Siyue was finally going to start live - streaming.
The old username "Jiyueji" could no longer be used. After much thought, Ji Siyue simply decided to use [Red Bean] for live - streaming.
Since she had informed the company in advance, the company negotiated with the platform and spent money to promote Ji Siyue to the homepage.
This time, Ji Siyue was live - streaming with the camera on, but at the beginning, it only showed the area below her mouth; she didn't show her face.
[Oh my god! Isn't this Jiyueji?]
[A new anchor? Red Bean? Such a big background! On the homepage recommendation on the first day of live - streaming?]
[This is Ji Siyue!]
Seeing that people in the bullet - screen had almost recognized her, Ji Siyue smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Red Bean."
[Wowwwww! It's really her! She's back!]
[How dare she come back? Where does she get the nerve?]
[Don't talk nonsense, the one above. It's none of your business if she wants to come back. If you don't want to watch, just get out!]
[Oh, here comes the die - hard fan to defend her. Since she left without a word back then, why come back now? To disgust people?]
[Can you stop being so mean - mouthed?]
Ji Siyue looked at the bullet - screen but didn't say a word.
If it were in the past, she would definitely have stopped people from arguing in her live - stream room. But now, she needed popularity and topics. Even arguing counted as popularity, so she just let them argue.
Ji Siyue didn't have any other special talents, so she logged into the game. However, she used the top - level account provided by the company, which had all kinds of equipment and a high level. But Ji Siyue just couldn't get used to it. After trying several dungeons, she couldn't pass any of them.
It seemed that using an account that wasn't her own just felt awkward!
Just as Ji Siyue was thinking about how to make this account more user - friendly, she suddenly received a friend request.
[Golden Coin has sent you a friend request!]
[Accept Reject]
Ji Siyue was stunned when she saw this system notification.
Golden Coin? Qin Chengyao?
Why did he send her a friend request? Did he already know that she had come back to play the game? She remembered that Qin Chengyao never used to add others as friends actively.
Ji Siyue thought she should reject it at this moment, but after a moment of thought, she clicked "Accept".
Immediately after,
[Player Golden Coin invites you to join the Cold Moon (Hard) dungeon!]
[Accept Reject]
This time, Ji Siyue didn't hesitate and directly clicked "Accept".
After joining the team, [Golden Coin] immediately started the dungeon.
It was still that familiar white robe, with an astonishingly powerful output. He took on all the damage alone, with only a sliver of health remaining. He repeatedly saved her from the jaws of death and then continued his powerful attacks.
In contrast, the artillery [Red Bean] in her gorgeous outfit seemed like a mere passer - by. She had no healing ability, no significant output, and even took a lot of damage, attracting a great deal of aggro and increasing the difficulty of the game.
Ji Siyue couldn't help but sigh, "I haven't played for so long. My skills are really lousy."
[She's really lousy. Even the anchor admits it. Can the fans stop defending her?]
[Can't you tell she's just joking about herself? How narrow - minded you must be to take such words seriously!]
[It's really ridiculous. It's getting more and more interesting!]
[Jiyueji is really shameless!]
After finishing one dungeon, [Golden Coin] continued to invite [Red Bean] to other dungeons, and all of them were in hard mode. He took on the damage that was supposed to be shared by five people and provided the output of five people.
After several times, even though Ji Siyue wanted popularity and had a thick skin, she still felt a bit embarrassed.
This time, she clicked "Reject".
The other person sent a private message.
[Golden Coin:?]
[Red Bean: I think I'm really useless. Why don't you play by yourself first? I'm too embarrassed to let you carry me like this.]
[Golden Coin: I never knew my ex - girlfriend could be embarrassed.]
This sentence confirmed that Qin Chengyao knew everything.
Ji Siyue took a deep breath and gritted her teeth as she typed on the keyboard.
[Red Bean: Do you have to be so sarcastic? Can't we just be peaceful?]
[Golden Coin: "Peace" only applies to those who break up peacefully. You dumped me unilaterally, and you still expect me to be peaceful?]
Seeing this message, Ji Siyue's eyes suddenly turned red.
Yes, she didn't deserve his gentle treatment.
But then, why was he doing this?
Was he a masochist?
