Chapter 297 Recognizing the thief as his father
"Never mind, I came here today because there's something I want to discuss with you."
Ye Lan sighed, then told Xu Zhiqiang everything about her endorsement of Li Changqing Milk Tea Shop, and asked him if he needed any help.
Xu Zhiqiang stroked his chin. "We had his milk tea when we were in Shanghai before, and it was really good. If the business is managed well, it's not impossible for it to go public."
"But I still have to go to school next year, so I can't help you."
“That’s simple. I thought about it when I came here. You can just take a year off from school. Vocational school is only three years anyway, so you might as well take this opportunity to train yourself first.”
"That's a possibility." Xu Zhiqiang rested his chin on his hand and nodded silently.
He had long heard about how bad the job market was for college graduates, and he figured it was better to enter the job market early rather than just get a degree, so he could at least learn something real.
More importantly, he has confidence in Ye Lan!
"Okay, I'll pick you up on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and we'll go straight to Shanghai."
"The fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so early?" Xu Zhiqiang was taken aback, thinking that the New Year celebrations weren't even over yet.
"Li Changqing's milk tea shop is still in its initial stage. It's a bit rushed to go back after the New Year."
"Okay, then I'll pack my things in advance."
Just then, Xu Zhong, wearing an apron, brought several dishes to the table.
A plate of braised pork trotters, a plate of braised beef, and a plate of stir-fried pork intestines—all hearty dishes!
Furthermore, to express his respect, he even opened a bottle of fine wine in front of Ye Lan.
Just as Xu Zhiqiang had expected, after two drinks, Xu Zhong, his face flushed, put his arm around Ye Lan's shoulder and muttered words about becoming sworn brothers.
“My good-for-nothing son is able to earn so much money, all thanks to your care, brother. If you don’t mind, let’s become sworn brothers today, and he can recognize you as his godfather.”
Xu Zhiqiang looked at his drunken father and was immediately at his wit's end. He shouldn't have thought about it for so long; he should have just agreed to let Ye Lan leave earlier.
Xu Zhong was drunk, but Ye Lan was still very clear-headed and immediately agreed.
In this way, when visiting Xu Zhiqiang's home in the future, one can openly call him "son".
After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Lan, who had been drinking, naturally couldn't drive home, so she went to Xu Zhiqiang's bedroom to sober up before going back.
Xu Zhiqiang's bedroom was just like most boys' bedrooms, with clothes and shoes scattered everywhere and underwear and socks piled on the bed.
Ye Lan lay on the bed, planning to take a nap for an hour before going back.
Although he has a high alcohol tolerance and is now sober and as if nothing happened, as a law-abiding citizen, he should keep in mind the principle of not drinking and driving.
Moreover, it's the Lunar New Year; if something were to happen, it wouldn't be good for anyone.
Xu Zhiqiang's beloved bed was occupied, so he had no choice but to turn on his computer and start watching the live stream.
This was also Ye Lan's suggestion to him. When he went to Shanghai before, he brought Xu Zhiqiang along so that Xu Zhiqiang could become a familiar face in front of the other live streamers.
In this way, Xu Zhiqiang wouldn't have to edit only Ye Lan's live stream footage.
This can be considered as extra income.
However, they need to exchange gifts from time to time to maintain their relationship.
But it was still a profit.
"Brothers, it's Chinese New Year and everyone's a primary school student. Am I just randomly killing people?"
Soon, a familiar voice reached Ye Lan's ears, causing her to frown.
"Is Dehua also live streaming during the Chinese New Year?" Ye Lan straightened up, her gaze falling on Dehua in the lower right corner of the screen, a hint of doubt rising in her heart.
“Model worker, do you think everyone is like you! You even get a few days off during the New Year.” Xu Zhiqiang cast a disdainful glance at him.
"How dare you speak to your father like that!" Ye Lan immediately used the identity she had just acquired.
Xu Zhiqiang was speechless. He was used to joking around and probably didn't think much of it, but this was his own home!
It feels a little awkward to be called that by someone who isn't your parent.
I thought to myself, "I've really mistaken a thief for my father."
"What is Dehua broadcasting live?" Ye Lan skillfully moved a chair over and sat down behind Xu Zhiqiang.
"It looks like he's playing a relay race with his sister," Xu Zhiqiang remarked, looking at the live stream title.
Dehua's live stream title: One person, one life; if you die once, you'll be replaced.
Behind Dehua sat his sister, Dove!
One second, Dehua was mocking the opposing team as a group of elementary school students who had just started their vacation, but the next second he was targeted by the opposing mid and jungle. Four of them surrounded him, and even though Dehua was duo-queuing with the turret and used his Flash, he only managed to trade one kill.
"Damn it, are you even going to play or not? You have to disgust me during the New Year holiday?"
Dehua angrily slammed his phone on the table, then angrily gave up his spot and let his sister, Defu, operate it.
With Dove taking over from her sister, netizens have truly realized what it means to be outmatched and have a world beyond your reach!
That's fucking awful!
Dehua is already a terrible person, but his sister Dove is even worse!
"No way, these are free-range chickens from the same farm, how could they be so rotten?"
"I thought Dehua was invincible, but whose subordinate is this who can even outdo him?!"
"Oh no, after watching this live stream today, I don't even need to eat New Year's Eve dinner."
"This is so delicious, I might as well record the live stream and serve it directly on the table for our New Year's Eve dinner."
........
"Hahaha, Dehua is so bad, he doesn't even play as well as me." Xu Zhiqiang laughed rudely.
It's not his fault, after all, sometimes Dehua's skills are really not as good as a bot's.
There's even a comment circulating online about Dehua: if you encounter Dehua, it's advisable to let him go AFK and let the AI take over; the win rate might be higher that way.
Ye Lan frowned as she looked at the comments in the live stream. "The data is so high!"
"what?"
Xu Zhiqiang then noticed that Dehua's live stream had surpassed 100 million viewers, which meant there were hundreds of thousands of online viewers!
"Holy crap, how come the viewership is so high?" Xu Zhiqiang's eyes widened. The money from this one live stream might be more than he earns in a year.
It's true what they say: I laugh at Brother Hua's poor skills, and Brother Hua laughs at my mortgage!
"I think this live streaming format is great. I remember that Brother Hua lives in Shanghai. I'll contact him then and see if we can join forces and create another brilliant success."
Ye Lan stroked her chin, already pondering how to make money this way.
Both he and Dehua are streamers on the Tiger Shark live streaming platform, specifically in the King of Glory section. As long as there isn't a major conflict of interest, they generally accept each other.
Besides, it's perfectly normal for streamers to connect and visit each other's rooms.
Ye Lan simply moved from online to offline.
After finalizing her plan, Ye Lan sent a message to Dehua to ask for his opinion.
