Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 63 Part 4 一 “Brother, am I being deceived?”

Right now, Ruan Yōu is in her room. After taking her luggage from Gu Fuchen’s hands, she begins to contemplate how to call Cheng Xin.

Her company currently manages her, which would sound unreasonable if she were to talk about it.

Sitting by the edge of the bed, Ruan Yōu dialed Cheng Xin’s number with a serious expression.

“Cheng Xin?”

Cheng Xin chuckles lightly, “I’m currently watching your live stream.”

Ruan Yōu: ?

Very well.

“So you should be able to see my expression right now,” Ruan Yōu says with a forced smile, “Hurry and increase my living expenses.”

Cheng Xin’s tone sounds ‘hesitant’, “I can’t do that.”

“I’ve come up with a fantastic method with great difficulty, aiming to bring our entertainment company into conflict with the world and force it to shut down. This excellent opportunity must not be missed,” Cheng Xin sighed, “I tried my best to do this, but unexpectedly, netizens seem to be enjoying it a lot and the online response is very positive. Our company might make another few hundred million yuan this time. The plan to bring down the company has fallen apart, but you’ve also earned a few hundred million yuan more. You’ll be happy about it, right?”

Ruan Yōu: “Happy, will you let me spend 300 yuan in four days?”

“Bitterness first, then sweetness. In the first phase, finding joy in hardship, experiencing a compact life. This way, when you have more money later, you’ll truly appreciate the importance of money and the happiness of being wealthy,” Cheng Xin said nonsense with a serious face.

Ruan Yōu could tell from his tone that he was resolute and wouldn’t change his mind. Not wanting to waste more time, she said irritably, “Cheng Xin, I’ll settle accounts with you after I finish recording the variety show!”

To her surprise, the company’s management was starting to set a trap for her.

How infuriating!

After hanging up the phone in frustration, Ruan Yōu lay back on her bed and stared at the ceiling.

She wasn’t worried about her living expenses; she could adapt to this kind of life. She just didn’t know if others could. Apart from this matter, she also thought of something very important.

One minute later, she dialed Cheng Xin’s number again.

This time her tone was very pleasant.

“It’s no problem if you don’t increase the living expenses, but you have to tell me how many cameras are in the villa now and where they all are, right?”

Everyone will feel more at ease knowing where the cameras are located.

“It’s a minor matter.”

Ten minutes later, Ruan Yōu received the documents and images sent by Cheng Xin.

Following the instructions on them, she found two cameras in the room.

After they entered the villa, the number of live streaming angles for each live channel increased, and netizens could click on their preferred perspectives and live streams.

The camera instructors would adjust the angles of each camera in real-time. There was an almost excessive number of camera instructors in front of almost every camera, far more than those needed for recording variety shows, and they were busier too.

Ruan Yōu roughly located all the cameras inside the villa.

The production team prepared very meticulously. There was even one in the corner of the stairs on the second floor, but a cabinet was there, and the equipment was inside the cabinet, making it hard to notice without careful observation.

Ruan Yōu briefed Lu Xuan about the camera placements within the villa.

In a moment, Lu Xuan received an overload of information. She momentarily confused the first and second floors, thinking there was a camera in the corner near the stairs on the first floor. She then shared this with Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, Fu Jiazhan, Qi Zhiyan, and Qi Nuo.

Guided by Lu Xuan’s explanation, everyone believed that the staircase on the second floor was the only “sacred corner” in the villa where they couldn’t find a live camera.

The director called Ruan Yōu to accept a task.

Being the only one with experience in the entertainment industry, she understood variety show procedures and pacing. While others were still organizing the rooms, the director took her to the place where the staff were staying and explained the plan for the next few days.

Little did she know, influenced by Lu Xuan’s misinformation, everyone had gathered around the staircase on the second floor 一 directly facing a camera.

Jiang Huai waved towards Fu Jiazhan, who was heading upstairs, and said, “Come over here.”

Fu Jiazhan raised an eyebrow, “Why is everyone here?”

Aside from Jiang Huai, Lu Jin, Qi Zhiyan, Qi Nuo, and Lu Xuan were also present.

Lu Xuan had a beaming smile on her face and she was in high spirits: “Brother Jiang Huai was trying hard earlier to show off his abs, attempting to prove to his fans that the photos taken by paparazzi and the posts on Weibo were all fake. He’s trying to establish himself as the ‘Abs Overlord’. After showing off for a while, he got tired, so he came here to take a rest.”

Fu Jiazhan: ….

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream:

【????】

【Silly little princess, there’s a camera here, help!】

【I can’t help but laugh heartlessly. I was wondering why Jiang Huai kept holding his head high and unbuttoning his shirt with rolled-up sleeves in the villa. I thought it was the standard move of a boss, and I found it quite handsome. Didn’t expect it to be this, hahaha.】

【Poor Jiang Huai, he tried so hard repeatedly to let his fans know he has abs, but I’m just selectively ignoring it.】

【Sisters, let’s keep questioning him under his Weibo post, hahaha, tease him!!】

【We must absolutely not let them discover the existence of this camera!】

【Right, right, right.】

. . . . .

The netizens in the live stream room started plotting openly.

Fu Jiazhan carefully scrutinizes the corner of the second floor, his gaze pausing on the tall cabinet.

He walks slowly towards the cabinet, casually sweeping a glance.

Being close to the camera, the audience in the live stream room can clearly see his face.

The short strands of hair are scattered on his forehead, his eyebrows and eyes are attractive, carrying a faint gentleness and glimmers. The corners of his mouth are always lifted with a subtle smile, his cheeks are smooth like jade, and his skin condition is even better than that of celebrities in makeup advertisements.

【Ahhhhh, the first time seeing overlord up close, can’t help but feel excited.】

【So gentle, earlier he reminded Ruan Yōu to choose a room with a good view, he and little brother Qi Nuo live on the first floor, leaving the second-floor room opportunity for good friends.】

【He looks so handsome when he smiles, like melting snow!!】

【Sisters, I know he’s good-looking, but now is not the time to appreciate his looks, oh no, what do we do if we’re discovered TAT】

Fortunately, Fu Jiazhan only glanced for a moment before being called away by Jiang Huai.

“Where did Ruan Yōu and Gu Fuchen go?”

“Gu Fuchen is in his room replying to emails, while Ruan Yōu was called away by the production team.”

Qi Nuo, who had been quiet all along, nodded and said, “To collect our living expenses, the director also informed her about the upcoming schedule.”

Qi Zhiyan frowned, “Are we supposed to cover both lunch and dinner with the given living expenses?”

“Yes.” Lu Xuan sighed.

When it came to saving money, Jiang Huai had a strong say.

“Then, let me hold onto the money. I’ll only give out the amount needed each day, ensuring that we use it wisely.”

Jiang Huai thought he would receive unanimous agreement, but the result一

Qi Zhiyan, Lu Jin, Lu Xuan, and Fu Jiazhan looked at him warily.

“It’s not possible.”

Lu Xuan criticized: “Putting money in your hands, you could save so much that we’d have to eat steamed buns every day. You’re the King of Stinginess!”

Jiang Huai: ….

When Gu Fuchen came out of his room and saw them all gathered here, he stopped and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Lu Xuan said, “There are no cameras here, so this will be our secret base from now on!”

Gu Fuchen nodded in understanding.

He no longer needed a secret base; he chose to set himself free.

Gu Fuchen went downstairs, and a few people including Qi Zhiyan were also getting ready to leave. Before departing, they all looked at Jiang Huai, and Qi Zhiyan solemnly said, “Don’t think about taking the money.”

Jiang Huai had a numb expression.

“Oh!”

They were simply jealous of his talent for saving money!

Before leaving, Lu Jin took a good look around the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

This is a hidden place for browsing Weibo and enjoying the fun of chasing stars.

During leisure time, you can browse Weibo and post in fan discussion threads here, enjoying the excitement of star chasing!

Lu Jin hasn’t given up his passion for chasing idol.

Recently, due to being busy overseas, he didn’t have time to browse Weibo or keep up with Ruan Yōu’s fan discussions. He missed out on all the updates, as everything was overshadowed by Gu Fuchen, “The Only Brother“.

Lu Jin’s alternate Weibo account is named “star,” making him a veteran among Ruan Yōu’s male fans.

After Ruan Yōu’s evening banquet ended, Lu Jin finally had time to return to the fan discussions. However, many new people didn’t recognize him. After nearly half a month of effort in showcasing his face, thanks to his extensive knowledge of Ruan Yōu’s TV dramas, movies, interviews, and variety shows, he could quickly answer fans’ questions in the discussions, accurately informing them which show or episode a particular scene was from.

If “The Only Brother” conquered fans with financial power, then “star” became a “comprehensive encyclopedia” with deep “true love” among the fans.

Both male fans are core figures in Ruan Yōu’s fan discussions.

Lu Jin descended the stairs with an easy stride.
