Fu Yunruo never expected that her well-behaved and sensible son suddenly became so 'rude.' If she didn't guess wrong, her Baobao was hostile towards Brother Chi. But why? In her opinion, Brother Chi was pretty good…
Fu Yunruo smiled awkwardly: "Wenwen is usually very well-behaved…maybe because he didn't sleep last night, so he becomes a bit irritable today."
"This child is very cute." Chi Weicheng actually didn't like children. He thought them to be naughty and mischievous. But seeing the little boy flaring his teeth and claw somehow amused him.
Even his frowning little brows and furious babyish voice were so cute.
Chi Weicheng couldn't help trying to hold the baby's chubby hand, but was slapped away.
"Ah, ah, aaaah!" Chi Wen yelled fiercely. Don't try to please me!
In Chi Wen's imagination, he was frowning fiercely and looked angry and hostile. In fact, his puffy little face looked especially cute instead. He was so cute that people's hearts melted upon seeing him!
Chi Weicheng's smile deepened. He felt that this child was very pleasing to his eyes. Moreover, he also vaguely had an impression, somehow feeling that the child's face was a bit familiar. But he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Seeing her son being so lively, Fu Yunruo was very happy, and she didn't stop their interaction.
Chi Weicheng teased Wenwen for a while before withdrawing his hand in regret, feeling not enough. But he still had to continue tending to the orchids.
Fu Yunruo saw this and wanted to help. But the child was too clingy. She finally managed to put him on the crib, but when she was about to step out, Wenwen yelled hard.
Fu Yunruo tried several times, but failed to step out of the living room door.
Chi Wen sat on the baby crib, staring at Fu Yunruo with eyes full of displeasure.
They weren't dating yet, but this woman already abandoned her son and went to the man.
But he would never let them enter the world of two people and left him behind!
If Fu Yunruo knew her son's inner thoughts, she would be dumbfounded. She really didn't have this kind of thought towards Chi Weicheng. Although the man was good, she never thought about romance. Besides, he wasn't necessarily interested in her either. She just thought that helping Uncle Guo was her job, and it wasn't good to let a guest doing it alone.
Fu Yunruo finally spent all morning trying to please her family's little ancestor before cooking a sumptuous lunch at noon. She also made a steamed egg custard with minced meat for Wenwen. The six-month-old baby could already eat some supplementary food. For Wenwen's sake, Fu Yunruo learned about baby nutritious meals and made them fresh every day.
Since Fu Yunruo began to feed him supplementary food, Wenwen had been particularly fond of it and drank less milk. He basically rejected breast milk now. Fu Yunruo was very proud. Other family's babies might be very hard to wean, but her family's Baobao didn't need her to worry about it at all.
From experienced elders, Fu Yunruo heard that the best time for a child to be weaned started at eight months, and they were basically completely weaned between twelve to eighteen months old. Wenwen began to wean at the six months. Fu Yunruo occasionally gave him supplementary food during this period, but the frequency was not much, once or twice a day.
Chi Weicheng stayed at the flower garden for lunch. Uncle Guo's face was very grumpy, but he let Chi Weicheng stay. After taking the lunch, Uncle Guo immediately threw Chi Weicheng out to tend to the orchids again while he went to take a nap.
After lunch, Fu Yunruo fed her son, then put him to sleep. Fu Yunruo put her mobile phone next to the crib, then took out another mobile phone and connected the two phones with a call.
This was the method she devised before. Although Uncle Guo didn't require her to work at all time, she was paid after all, and she felt embarrassed about skipping work to take care of her child. Fortunately, Wenwen still took a lot of naps. She could do some work while he was sleeping. If she worked near the bungalow, she could still notice the movements in the living room, but couldn't do so if she was far away.
Fu Yunruo thought for a way, and finally bought a cheap mobile phone for 100 yuan. She would put the phone on the call mode on the desk near Wenwen's crib and let it be connected constantly with her mobile phone, so she could notice the child's movement at any time. She didn't need to do this very often, so her average monthly phone credit was enough.
At least, it worked well so far.
After putting Wenwen to sleep, Fu Yunruo connected the two phones and hurried over to Chi Weicheng. She really had no face to stayed by her sleeping son's side while the guest was working hard outside.
When Fu Yunruo arrived at the flower shed, Chi Weicheng was tinkering with a pot of orchid. Fu Yunruo also brought some tools over and looked for something to do. But after looking around, it seemed that there was nothing to do. The only thing that needed a tend was the orchid Chi Weicheng was currently taking care of.
Fu Yunruo called, "Brother Chi, please take a rest. I will take care of that."
"It's alright. I'm almost done."
Fu Yunruo didn't have a choice but to stand nearby and watch Chi Weicheng skilfully trimmed the orchid's leaves. She sighed in admiration: "Brother Chi, you are so good!" In fact, she was a bit embarrassed because Chi Weicheng did all the job.
"My college major is botanical science. Teacher Guo is my college teacher and mentor." Chi Weicheng smiled and said.
Fu Yunruo blinked in surprise: "Then the gap between your college degree and your job is a bit too wide!"
Fu Yunruo blinked in surprise: "Then the gap between your college degree and your job is a bit too wide!"
A botanical science major actually went to the entertainment industry to become an agent, and even a successful one.
"It cannot be helped. Although this is my major, I really don't have the talent needed to work in this field, so I changed my career." Chi Weicheng said with a helpless tone. Life was indeed very unpredictable. At that time, he chose botanical science as his major was indeed because of his interest in this field. Unfortunately, he didn't have the talent.
Besides, he was just an ordinary person. He wanted to make money and lived a good life. He once envied his teacher and peers who cultivated rare and exotic plants. Once cultivated, those plants could get them rich overnight. But to achieve such a success, one had to endure a long research time, and most importantly, also had enough talent.
In the two years after graduating, Chi Weicheng also plunged himself into the pit of cultivating and raising orchids, but he had never achieved success and was too poor that he could only eat instant noodles.
It was a coincidence that he later entered the entertainment industry.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to be quite suitable for this job. The first few artists he brought up became popular, and he quickly gained a root in the circle.
Listening to Chi Weicheng's story, Fu Yunruo understood. It was like many of her former college friends. They studied a major, but many of them didn't engage in a work-related to their major. Moreover, just because they liked a job didn't mean they could earn enough money. There were actually very few people who could engage in an industry they liked, matched with their education, and also earned a satisfactory income.
"Brother Chi, you are very suitable to work in the entertainment industry!"
Chi Weicheng smiled: "Fortunately, I manage to get by with some effort." He then said again: "You are also very suitable for the entertainment industry. Have you think about it?"
"Huh?"
Chi Weicheng said seriously: "My vision of people is rarely wrong. You have a very distinctive and beautiful face. It is easy for the audience to remember your face. On top of that, your face is also suitable for any kind of drama…you have a lot of natural advantages, and I can see the potential to have a big break in you."
Fu Yunruo couldn't help touching her face. Was she really that good?
In fact, her current facial features were somewhat similar to her previous life. But her appearance now was much more refined, with all advantage points being enhanced and strengthened. The original Fu Yunruo had been wearing heavy makeup since junior high school—the type of makeup that looked scarier rather than pretty. But since she was transmigrated into this body, Fu Yunruo no longer touched any beauty products. At most, she used a bit of natural skin moisturizer, the same kind of product Wenwen could also use.
Her face right now was totally untouched and natural. Anyway, she felt that she looked better without any particular makeup.
In fact, the original Fu Yunruo had also appeared in the entertainment circle. However, because of the female lead, the original Fu Yunruo's reputation was very bad. Fu Yunruo believed that Chi Weicheng must have heard her name before or even saw 'Fu Yunruo' appeared in public. But perhaps because of the extreme contrast, he didn't connect her with the previous 'Fu Yunruo.'
"As for the acting skill you are worried about, the company especially hires professional acting teachers for our artists. You don't have to worry about it." Judging from her appearance alone, Fu Yunruo already had half the capital to be popular. Polished carefully, she would definitely shine.
Fu Yunruo realized that Chi Weicheng's tongue was truly skillful. She was moved by his words. However, after wavering for a while, she still refused reluctantly: "I'm sorry. At least for the next two years, I don't have this intention." Her life was the most important thing. Everything else was superficial.
Fu Yunruo remembered her idea last night, and she said again: "But I want to try to do a livestreaming, the kind that doesn't need to show my face. But I don't have any particular skill to show, and still don't know what to do."
Because of Wenwen's cry last night, Fu Yunruo completely forgot about this matter and only remembered it now.
Fu Yunruo was at a loss. She didn't know what kind of livestream should she do. She could play the piano, but definitely not at the professional level.
Livestream? Chi Weicheng replied: "This is a good idea." He was very enthusiastic. "What about you livestreaming the process of raising flowers?"
Fu Yunruo hesitated: "Can this be done?"
"Of course. The current livestream industry is very diverse in content. There are many streamers focusing on pets like cats or dogs, and there are also livestreams about flowers. Orchid has always been one of the most popular flowers in our country. Choosing it will be good."
Chi Weicheng's suggestion was not without a basis. Fu Yunruo worked in a flower garden that specialized in raising orchids. Livestreaming about orchid would be very suitable for her.
Fu Yunruo nodded her head enthusiastically. Her eyes were gleaming. As expected of a professional, his suggestion was convincing and well-founded.
"If you want to do a livestream, choose Panda Live App. I am familiar with this company. Their contract and treatment are relatively fair, and I also know the person in charge."
Chi Weicheng carefully thought about it. Although livestreaming and traditional entertainment circle were still two separate industries, they already had a mutual integration. It was common for popular livestreamers to accept various jobs from the entertainment circle, and it was also common for celebrities and artists to maintain their popularity using the livestreaming platform.
Fu Yunruo doing a livestream could be regarded as stepping into the entertainment circle. Of course, Chi Weicheng couldn't let such a good seedling be picked by another company. Both Panda Live and Apple Entertainment were subsidiaries under the same group. By joining Panda Live, Fu Yunruo would have a connection with Apple Entertainment.
Fu Yunruo nodded, "I'll consider it carefully."
Chi Weicheng knew he couldn't be too pushy. He didn't pursue any further and changed the topic naturally: "I will take Teacher Guo to the city tonight. We may come back the day after tomorrow. Please take care of this place."
"Of course. This is my job after all." Fu Yunruo replied. She then asked concernedly: "Uncle Guo's body has no problems, right?"
"It's not a big deal. But Teacher is getting old after all, and he needs a more regular check-up."
"I see." Fu Yunruo was relieved.
"You see, Teacher's temper is a bit stubborn…"
Fu Yunruo understood what he meant and replied tactfully: "Don't worry. I will take care of Uncle Guo."
"Thank you."
"No problem." Fu Yunruo didn't feel troubled. After all, this was originally part of her job.
Fu Yunruo took Chi Weicheng's advice seriously. That night, she held Wenwen with one hand and her mobile phone with the other hand to download Panda Live App.
Chi Wen leaned against Fu Yunruo's arms, staring at the phone screen. He seemed to be looking very seriously, as if he could understand the content of the screen.
Fu Yunruo didn't want her child to be exposed to electronic products too early, but this little guy was very noisy tonight. She could either put down her mobile phone or use the phone with him in her arms. In any case, Wenwen refused to let her go.
Helpless, Fu Yunruo chose the latter.
Fortunately, Wenwen seemed to be curious and just wanted to have a look. He didn't reach out to grab the phone, nor did he disturb her.
Fu Yunruo had decided to start a livestream. She agreed that Brother Chi's suggestion was very helpful. Because she still had a day job in this rural area, she only had a limited choice regarding the livestream contents. Cooking? She didn't know how to make elaborate dishes, just simple home-based ones. Singing? She was obviously no match with professional singers. Eating? Then she has to show her face…
She couldn't just broadcast these pollution-free countryside sceneries, right?
Fu Yunruo couldn't stop browsing the recommended livestream channels on the app's homepage. The most popular channels with millions of fans were very lively and interesting. No wonder that the livestream industry was now rising so fast. It was truly addicting. Once getting hooked, she couldn't extricate herself.
If not for a little chubby hand suddenly slapped the phone screen, Fu Yunruo's eyes would still be glued to it.
Only then she remembered what she originally was going to do. Now that she had seen some sample livestreams on Panda Live, she was ready to start. Fu Yunruo read the terms and conditions, registered an account, created a channel, and chose a suitable category.
What category did the flower raising belong to? Fu Yunruo browsed a bit and found out that there was a separate category for it, so she used this one.
After looking for a while, Fu Yunruo began to study the contract. If possible, she didn't want to sign a contract. She worried that in the case her identity and information were leaked out, she would be tracked down, which wasted all of her hard efforts so far.
The streamers on Panda Live App were divided into two categories: those who signed an exclusive contract and those who didn't sign a contract. Streamers without a contract would get a profit-sharing of 30% from the platform. After signing the contract, the profit-sharing would increase depending on the negotiation.
Fu Yunruo suddenly felt that she had overthought it. She didn't know whether she could gather enough audience or not, so at this point, there was still no need to consider signing a contract or not.
…
Yesterday, Uncle Guo left with Chi Weicheng after dinner. Fu Yunruo took over the task of taking care of the flower garden and came early in the morning with Wenwen towed on her back.
This was Fu Yunruo's first time taking care of the orchids in the flower shed alone. She was naturally nervous, and her nervousness only grew when she approached the shed. The value of the orchids in this flower shed was immeasurable, so she needed to take the utmost precaution.
Fu Yunruo wanted to livestream the process of raising orchids, but this flower garden was not hers, so she first must gain permission from Uncle Guo. If Uncle Guo refused, she would find another topic. In short, she was determined to do a livestream.
During this period of time, Fu Yunruo studied and took meticulous care of the orchids, and she had completely fallen into the pit of an 'orchid lover' that she couldn't get out from. The wide variety of orchids fascinated her the most, and she felt the great satisfaction in cultivating a flower in peace and help it bloom into the most beautiful form. She looked at the mutated orchid variant cultivated by Uncle Guo's painstaking effort, and wondered if she could also cultivate a mutated orchid on her own.
…
Baby Wenwen was very quiet and well-behaved. Fu Yunruo put him into a stroller with his small toy car and worked next to him. The child sat steadily on his stroller. His big black eyes were looking in Fu Yunruo's direction from time to time.
Worthy of being the woman who gave birth to him. Even with a plain face with no makeup, she looked so beautiful standing among the orchids, like an enchanting flower fairy. His appearance was very similar to this woman, but he was more handsome. In his previous life, even if his career was full of various scandals, many fans were still fascinated by his face.
He agreed with the woman's idea of making money as a livestreamer without showing her face. However, he didn't agree with her joining the entertainment industry. Chi Wen in the previous life was a man who lived in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. He climbed from the bottom to the top, and no one knew better than him about how many dark and dirty things were hidden behind the glitter.
This woman was both silly and stupid. She would definitely be eaten alive in that place.
So, it was just okay for her to be an anonymous livestreamer and made a little money on the side. After he grew up, he would be able to make money on his own, and they wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.
Uncle Guo and Chi Weicheng came back at noon the next day.
Uncle Guo walked briskly on the front. Chi Weicheng followed behind, carrying two big bags and trying to catch up. The two entered the bungalow one after another.
Fu Yunruo had just put the napping baby Wenwen into the room. Hearing the movement outside, she hurriedly walked out and greeted the two. She then asked in concern: "How is Uncle Guo's check-up result?"
"A waste of time," Uncle Guo snorted and walked into his bedroom.
Chi Weicheng smiled: "There is no major problem, but Teacher's blood pressure is a bit high. We should pay more attention to it."
Hearing that everything was okay, Fu Yunruo sighed in relief.
"These are Teacher's medicine. Please help me supervise Teacher and make sure he takes them in time."
"Okay." Fu Yunruo read the instruction on the label and silently memorizing it.
Because Chi Weicheng was here, Fu Yunruo was embarrassed to take a nap and left a guest alone, so they chatted in a low voice in the living room.
Chi Weicheng was very concerned about Fu Yunruo's future development and asked whether she had made her decision.
Fu Yunruo answered honestly, and then she said: "It's just that if I really want to do a livestream here, I have to ask for Uncle Guo's permission."
"Teacher won't mind." Chi Weicheng said, "What is your plan for the livestream?"
"I have spent a long time thinking about it. I think I will try streaming the process of cultivating mutated orchids." Fu Yunruo replied. Her eyes were twinkling.
"Although I haven't tried it before, I really want to cultivate beautiful orchids like Uncle Guo." This was a kind of 'online flower raising,' where the audience would see the process of raising a flower in real-time. Compared with just watering, fertilizing, and admiring the flowers every day, Fu Yunruo thought it would be more challenging.
Although the difficulty was very high, why not? If she succeeded, she would even be able to call herself an orchid expert.
It took about 4-5 years for orchids to grow normally from seeds to flowers, but with artificial methods, the time could be shortened to just 2-3 years. Fu Yunruo wanted to start from the seed. Even if she couldn't make the orchid mutate in the end, as long as it could bloom safely, it was already a good ending.
After chatting for a while, Chi Weicheng's mobile phone suddenly rang. He smiled apologetically at Fu Yunruo: "Sorry, I need to answer the call."
"It's alright." Fu Yunruo smiled back.
Chi Weicheng stepped aside to answer the call.
Fu Yunruo wanted to check on her son, so she went into their room. The moment the door closed, she faintly heard Chi Weicheng talking to the phone, "Almost…"
Inside the bedroom, Wenwen was still asleep. Fu Yunruo sighed in relief. If the child woke up, he would surely make noise when he heard Brother Chi's voice.
She had no idea why the little guy was so hostile to Brother Chi.
Fu Yunruo remembered the snippet she overheard just now. Since Uncle Guo's physical check-up had been done, Brother Chi should go home soon, right?
Apple Entertainment was located in the capital city of Beijing. As a high-ranking agent, he couldn't be absent too long. It was not easy for Fu Yunruo to finally find a friend with whom the conversation could get through. Thinking that soon they would not be able to see each other, she felt very reluctant. However, this kind of meeting and separation was just a typical event in life.
Because Chi Weicheng was staying for dinner, Fu Yunruo wasn't in a hurry to get off work. At five in the evening, she cooked dinner for the two men and ate together at their invitation.
Fu Yunruo's guess was right. Right after dinner, Chi Weicheng said goodbye to her and Uncle Guo.
Fu Yunruo asked, "Are you leaving tonight?"
"I'm taking tomorrow's plane, so I have to depart tonight." Otherwise, he wouldn't make it in time.
This remote village was too far from the nearest city with an airport, and the road was also complicated. He had to drive five or six hours to find a hotel in the city, slept for a few hours, and then took another two or three hours drive to the airport and finally flew back to Beijing.
Chi Weicheng didn't linger and was about to leave. Before leaving, he asked for a pot of orchid from Uncle Guo.
Old man Guo, who was originally in a good mood, immediately raised his eyebrows and scolded: "Scram, scram! Don't you dare to wreck my orchids!"
Despite the heavy scolding, old man Guo finally gave Chi Weicheng a pot of an inconspicuous orchid that seemed very sturdy.
Holding a pot of orchid, Chi Weicheng scrammed over with a wide smile. "Teacher, I will come again next time I am free."
Uncle Guo yelled angrily: "If you dare to come again, I will break your damn legs!"
Fu Yunruo didn't dare to speak. But she secretly mused: Uncle Guo must be reluctant to part with Brother Chi. Actually, he was very happy that his student still remembered him. He was just being dishonest.
Unexpectedly, the next day, Uncle Guo scolded Chi Weicheng again. This time for destroying his orchid.
Fu Yunruo listened to the old man's rattle for a long time, and couldn't help but weakly said: "Actually, Brother Chi is very skillful. He tended the orchids very well…" At the very least, he was much more professional than her, a half-baked noob.
Uncle Guo's anger wasn't diminished in the slightest: "That stupid brat didn't raise the orchid by himself. He gave it to that stinky boy! All plants died in his hand! Ruining my orchids for nothing!"
Fu Yunruo blinked, wondering what kind of person was this 'stinky boy' who apparently killed all plants he raised. However, Uncle Guo stopped speaking. Fu Yunruo also didn't dare to ask, afraid of fanning the old man's anger once again.
After a while, Fu Yunruo felt that Uncle Guo's anger had been subsided, so she went forward and asked: "Uncle Guo, do you think I can start cultivating orchids on my own now?"
During this period of time, she had been studying under Uncle Guo's guidance. She had also finished reading the books she was given, but because she had never tried it before, she was not sure whether it would go well or not.
Uncle Guo's gaze fell on her.
Fu Yunruo was very nervous, but she still expressed her thoughts clearly: "Actually, I want to start livestreaming…." She then proceeded to explain her plan in detail.
After listening, Uncle Guo snorted coldly: "So you want to start something fancy here?" Then he walked away.
Fu Yunruo blinked. Did Uncle Guo agree or not?
Even after returning home, Fu Yunruo still couldn't guess Uncle Guo's meaning. In the end, she thought downheartedly: it might not work.
Fu Yunruo hugged her son and said sadly: "Son, ah. It seems that we cannot make pocket money part-time…" She had to find another suitable topic to livestream.
Chi Wen's soft chubby hand touched Fu Yunruo's face. He thought: stupid woman, Grandpa Guo didn't object to your request!
Fu Yunruo didn't know her son's thoughts, and her depression lasted until the next day. As usual, Fu Yunruo arrived at work with the baby on tow. But when she took Wenwen to the flower shed, she immediately discovered that the layout had changed.
Uncle Guo's flower shed was very large, covering nearly 1,000 square meters. However, this large shed stored only the most prized orchids Uncle Guo had cultivated in the past two decades, plus the ones still in the growing phase, totaling just 73 pots. Therefore, the space was abundant, and the distance between the pots was relatively large.
Today, Fu Yunruo found that many orchids had been clearly moved to make their positions more orderly and space-saving. As a result, there was a large open space in the right corner of the flower space. This open space was surrounded by two shelves, leaving only one opening for entry and exit.
Fu Yunruo walked into the opening and took a look. There were several plant incubators, flower pots, and other planting equipment inside.
Fu Yunruo's eyes became hot.
Uncle Guo walked in and put the seeds and flower seedlings in his hands on the empty table.
"Uncle Guo, thank you!" Fu Yunruo's eyes reddened. She thought that Uncle Guo didn't like her doing a livestream in the flower garden, but she didn't expect him to give her such a big surprise.
She was so surprised that she wanted to cry.
She liked it very, very much. Her hometown in this world gave her so much kindness.
Uncle Guo saw Fu Yunruo was so touched that she began to cry. The old man immediately became awkward: "Just do your business here. Do not touch my flower." Although his words were harsh, his tone was soft.
"Yes!" Fu Yunruo replied with a sob.
Uncle Guo put down the things he brought and went back to take care of his precious orchids.
Fu Yunruo wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes and began to sort out the seeds and seedlings on the table. Her whole body seemed to emit a bright aura, like a pear blossom after the rain. Very charming.
…
Meanwhile, Chi Weicheng finally arrived in Beijing after spending one day and one night on the road. Before he had time to go home to put his luggage and clean his dusty body, he was hurriedly called to the company.
"A'cheng, you are finally back!" Yuan Xin stood at the entrance of the company building, greeting Chi Weicheng with great excitement.
"If you don't come back, I won't be able to stand it anymore!"
"Brother Yuan." Chi Weicheng called. He laughed: "Didn't I come back hurry enough?"
"Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Xin carefully took the pot of orchid from Chi Weicheng's hand and sighed in relief. Finally, that ancestor could be appeased.
Yuan Xin immediately recovered his neat and tidy elite man apperance, and walked into the building with Chi Weicheng.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Chi."
On the way, the company's artists and employees greeted them politely. If Chi Weicheng was one of the top-ranking ace agents in the industry, then Yuan Xin was the top of the top.
At the age of 45, Yuan Xin was a legend in the entertainment industry. He was recognized as the number one agent and the head of Apple Entertainment's agent division. Throughout his career, he had only brought out three stars in total. Each of them was the legend of their era.
After the first star reached the peak of his career, he bravely retired from the entertainment industry to get married and starting a family. The second star passed away of terminal illness three years after reaching the peak. And now, the third star he was currently managing was the number one star of Apple Entertainment, the three consecutive years Golden Horse Award actor, the movie emperor Si Yue.
Si Yue, who debuted at the age of 20, won the best male lead and best newcomer award for his first film. But this blazing debut was not his peak. Every time the marketing crowd sang about his imminent fall, he always refreshed the world's understanding about an actor's peak with an even more dazzling result.
Originally, managing such a superstar would be the most glorious achievement in Yuan Xin's career. However, after so many years of cooperation, he just wanted to beat to death his foolish past self, who had worked so hard to sign this great ancestor.
Si Yue couldn't be said to be hard to serve, nor was he bad-tempered, but his actions often were out of common sense. Sometimes, Yuan Xin felt that his hair was going to bald.
For example, not too long ago, the newly obtained orchid died after being raised for five days by Si Yue, and that bastard's illness immediately flared.
A well-known TV station invited him to participate in a variety show. His reply: my flower died, I don't want to go.
A famous director invited him to play as a male lead in a movie. His reply: my flower died, I don't want to play.
A certain popular IP sent a script, asking him to read it and see whether he was interested. His reply: my flower died, I don't want to read.
These were not the most irritating thing. After hearing that Chi Weicheng was going to visit his teacher, Si Yue began to make a fuss again, and he must buy a pot of orchid grown by this teacher.
The reason? It was because the orchid grew by Chi Weicheng's teacher only died after half a month—a record-breaking time.
At first, the orchids could still be bought. But then the teacher somehow got to know that the orchids were all raised to death by Si Yue, and refused to sell anymore. No matter how much money was offered, the teacher refused to negotiate.
This time, they heard that Chi Weicheng was going again, so they had him buy one pot at all cost.
Si Yue this bastard, knowing his own ability to kill all plants he raised, yet refused to accept the reality. He even had the gall to say: orchids are so cute, it's not good to monopolize their beauty.
If it weren't to make this bastard who hadn't accepted a new movie script for more than one year do some work, Yuan Xin wouldn't be willing to help harming another innocent and pitiful plant.
Yuan Xin opened the door. As soon as he came in, he saw a man in a casual shirt leaning on a black office chair, resting his long legs on the table and his head on the back of the chair. His upturned face was covered with a book.
Hearing the door opened, the man didn't make any movement, as if he was in a deep sleep.
Yuan Xin was not in a hurry. He put the pot of orchid on the table, and then smoothly took out one, two, three script books from his briefcase. Only then he knocked on the table: "These are the good scripts I picked up recently. Take a look and choose one."
After a brief moment, slender fingers took down the book, revealing a handsome face. The man lazily opened his eyelids and casually said: "My flower died…"
Halfway through, his eyes inadvertently swept across the pot of plant placed on the table, and the beautiful figure of an orchid came into his view.
The man very smoothly changed his rhetoric: "..so I especially need work to soothe away this sadness."
Knowing that this ancestor was finally cured, Yuan Xin held his head high and pushed the script books towards Si Yue.
(Read this novel at for fastest update and extra chapters, plus other interesting novels! Do not read it at wattpad or other places. Thanks!)
Si Yue swept his gaze at random. He pointed at one of the scripts and said, "This one."
Yuan Xin picked it up and took a look, then nodded in agreement. "Alright, I will contact this director and rejected the two others for you."
"The filming will officially start in two weeks. You have to be there on time. Later, I will send the complete script book to you. Use this time to prepare well, and don't make me lose face by making a fool of yourself."
Si Yue clicked his tongue: "Can't you say something nice?" Look, was this really his agent? He was the consecutive winner of the Golden Horse Movie Award. How could he do something like failing when filming and making a fool of himself?
Yuan Xin sneered, expressing his ruthless mockery.
Si Yue's gaze stuck to the pot of orchid again, "Chi Weicheng is back?"
"He is back, you…" Yuan Xin was about to speak again when he was interrupted by the knock on the door.
Yuan Xin turned to the door and said, "Come in."
A female secretary in high heels and beautiful makeup pushed the door open and walked in. "Movie Emperor Si, Brother Yuan, Miss Fang Xueruo is here. She wants to see Movie Emperor Si."
The secretary tried her best to speak in a formal tone and maintain a business-like attitude. Even so, her eyes inadvertently fell on Si Yue's face, and her face flushed slightly.
That handsome face of his was indeed very lethal to women, making them lost their soul at one gaze.
"Why is she here again?" Yuan Xin frowned upon hearing the name. His words indicated that this was not the first time Fang Xueruo came to find them and clearly showed their attitude toward her.
Impatience flashed on Si Yue's eyes, "Not seeing."
Yuan Xin had no objection. He said to the secretary: "Just say that Movie Emperor Si is not here. Let her make an appointment through me and come back later."
"Yes." The woman got the instruction and nodded in response. She couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Si Yue before she left the door blushing.
Yuan Xin sighed, "You scourge." Cannot these girls look at the essence? Appearances were truly blinding.
"It's innate." Si Yue stood up and walked around the table with his long legs. He passed by Yuan Xin, took the pot of orchid casually, and walked out of the office.
"I'm going back first. I'll contact you by phone if I need something."
Yuan Xin nodded and reminded Si Yue again: "Remember to read the script."
Without looking back, Si Yue waved his hand in response.
…
To avoid paparazzi, Apple Entertainment had a special corridor for stars to enter and exit. Si Yue used it to go to the parking lot. After arriving at his car, he put the pot of orchid on the front seat and carefully fix it in place so it wouldn't move on the way. He then closed the door, walk around to the driver's seat, and was about to open the door.
"Movie Emperor Si." A clear and melodious female voice rang from a near distance, followed by the clacking sound of the high-heeled soles on the parking lot's ground.
"Please wait."
Si Yue casually glanced. There was no emotion on his handsome face. He thought that he had left secretly, but didn't expect the person he had driven away was setting an ambush here.
—It seemed that Apple Entertainment needed to give some warning to the employees.
Fang Xueruo lowered her head slightly. She took off her sunglasses and then looked up again. "Movie Emperor Si." Fang Xueruo's beautiful face was cold, "We need to talk."
Si Yue sighed, "I don't think there is anything to talk about." He opened the car door and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Si Yue really wanted to leave, Fang Xueruo hurried forward and reached out to hold the car door.
Si Yue's lips curled up in displeasure: "Miss Fang, you are the pillar of a rival company. It seems that you aren't supposed to appear here?"
Apple Entertainment and Orange Entertainment were great rivals. The pillar of Orange Entertainment appeared in Apple Entertainment and stopped him from leaving. If they were photographed by paparazzi, the commotion wouldn't be small.
He didn't want his name to appear in junction with this woman.
Fang Xueruo looked up at Si Yue, revealing a white and slender neck. She looked so weak and helpless, yet was stubborn in desperation: "Where is my elder sister?"
Si Yue sneered. He folded his hands and curled up his lips into a slightly cold smile: "Strange. Where Miss Fang's sister is, what does it have anything to do with me? Why are you coming to ask me?"
Fang Xueruo's face flushed with embarrassment, and she lightly bit her bright red lip: "You were also in the hotel that day, right? After my sister left the hotel, she disappeared and never contacted us again…Uncle is very worried about my sister's safety. If you know something, please tell us. We are really worried about her…"
The next day after Fu Yunruo was missing, they let people investigate. Unexpectedly, they met a hindrance. They only found out that Fu Yunruo had left the hotel, but as to where she went afterward, there was no trace at all, as if someone deliberately erased it.
Except for Si Yue, who was also in the hotel at the time, Fang Xueruo couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing. A reporter inadvertently caught Fu Yunruo's sight that day, but in the end, the news was completely suppressed and didn't cause any splash. A friend in the industry told her in private that it was Apple Entertainment's doing.
She never knew when her elder sister met Si Yue. Why did he help her?
Si Yue's gaze fell on Fang Xueruo, as if looking at a jumping clown: "There are dozens if not hundreds of people in the hotel. Why don't you ask all of them? If you cannot find your sister, just go to the police, alright?"
"But… "
Si Yue didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore. He forcibly opened the car door, sat on the driving seat, and then closed the door with a slam.
Fang Xueruo was pushed back by the momentum. "Movie Emperor Si! Movie Emperor Si!"
She tried to chase forward, but because she walked too hurry, she was accidentally tripped and almost fell down. In an instant, a figure rushed over and took her into his arms. Fang Xueruo exclaimed softly and fell into a broad chest. She had no time to see the low-key black car fumed its exhaust and drove away from the parking lot without stopping. She retracted her gaze in disappointment. Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she looked up in surprise: "Brother Chang? Why are you here?"
Chang Zhuyou looked at Fang Xueruo lovingly: "If I am not here, aren't you going to be bullied?"
Thinking of what happened just now, Chang Zhuyou was full of distress. He came out too late, so the woman he put on the apex of his heart was still wronged.
Fang Xueruo stepped out of the man's embrace. She casually tucked her loose hair behind her ear and said softly: "I can handle this matter."
Chang Zhuyou snorted, "I think Si Yue doesn't put both Chang and Fang family into his eyes at all!"
Fang Xueruo's gaze darkened, and her tone became dejected: "After all, I am not a true Fu family member…"
Before she could finish her words, Chang Zhuyou hurriedly interrupted, "Why are you still talking like that? Uncle Fu treats you like a real daughter. Who dares to say that you aren't Fu family's young miss?"
Fang Xueruo smiled weakly, but there was no trace of unwillingness on her face. "You know, I don't care about it."
"I know that you are kindhearted, considerate, and strong. No one will dislike you." Chang Zhuyou said lovingly, "Falling in love with you is the only thing that I will never regret in my life."
Fang Xueruo blushed slightly, but she soon frowned: "Uncle Fu is so kind to me. I want to help him find my sister, but…"
Hearing Fang Xueruo mentioning that person, Chang Zhuyou's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "She treated you that way, why are you still care about her? She might not appreciate your kindness."
Fang Xueruo said softly, "Whether she admits it or not, in my heart, she is my only sister. Now her whereabouts are unknown, how can I feel at ease?"
"You are too kind." Chang Zhuyou felt distressed for his sweetheart, but couldn't bear to say harsh words to her. Anyway, she had him to take care of everything, and he wouldn't let her suffer.
Fang Xueruo was still sad, "But Movie Emperor Si refuses to reveal any information."
"If nothing works, just call the police to report that Si Yue kidnaps and imprisons a girl."
"Don't!" Fang Xueruo refused, "This method is not good. Movie Emperor Si is famous, but his fame doesn't come easy. If we blow up this matter, his reputation will be completely ruined."
Hearing Fang Xueruo defending Si Yue, Chang Zhuyou was jealous: "You care about him so much?"
Fang Xueruo shook her head, "It's not that. But this matter really cannot be known to the public." She reached out and took Chang Zhuyou's hand into hers. "Alright. Let's think of another way later. We should leave now. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if a paparazzi see us here."
"Okay…"
When the soft, delicate hand touched his skin, Chang Zhuyou suddenly forgot everything else, and there was only one thought in his heart: Xueruo took the initiative to hold his hand!
…
From the rearview mirror of the driving car, Si Yue saw a man rushed out and took the woman into his arms.
Si Yue sneered.
A dog man and a dog woman, what a natural pair.
When the car drove towards the road and merged into the traffic, Si Yue's lips straightened into a thin line.
What the woman mentioned made him recall that bad—yet not so bad—night. On that night, he was careless and fell into a trap. He immediately went into a secluded area and waited for Yuan Xin to pick him up while preserving his sobriety with willpower alone.
Unexpectedly, a woman suddenly rushed towards him, clearly was also drugged. He originally wanted to hold back, but the woman unexpectedly hugged him and rub her body around. His remaining reason immediately scattered into pieces, and they ended up sharing a chaotic night together.
When Yuan Xin finally rushed to the hotel, he found no response when knocking on Si Yue's door. He immediately checked the hotel surveillance camera and found Si Yue brought a woman back to the room. Knowing that he was too late, he quickly focused on remedy the aftermath situation.
Yuan Xin destroyed the surveillance recording. After a check, he found out that the woman was not arranged in advance, but the eldest miss of Fu family who was infamous with a bad reputation.
Fearing that this incident might burst out into scandal, Yuan Xin stayed up all night and exhausted all of his power to clean the mess. After finding out that the media was preparing to pour dirty water on Fu Yunruo and exposing her scandal, he also suppressed it by the way.
Unexpectedly, he just dozed off for a while, but Fu Yunruo had already run away in a hurry. Looking at her attitude, it seemed that she was planning to disappear completely.
Yuan Xin hurriedly knocked on the door to wake Si Yue up and quickly reported the matter. Si Yue was very satisfied with Yuan Xin's method of dealing with this matter. After knowing that someone with malicious intent was trying to find out the woman, he helped to wipe out her traces.
In fact, he really didn't know where the woman had gone, and he never especially looked for her whereabouts. Although they had an intersection, since the other party didn't come to demand his responsibility, he didn't take care either. However, although the woman had a bad reputation, he didn't feel repulsive of that night. On the contrary, he quite enjoyed it, and that's why he was willing to help her.
However, this matter actually made him targeted by a disgusting woman, which was annoying.
Si Yue knocked on the steering wheel lightly. Since they were so idle, let's give them something to make them busy.
…
Fu Yunruo obviously had no idea of what was happening thousands of miles away. She carefully organized her personal flower room and made sure everything was ready before nervously starting her first livestream.
Her only livestream equipment was her mobile phone. At present, however, this mobile phone was the most high-end model in the market and was also her most valuable asset. The camera resolution was very high, and the pictures it took were comparable to a professional camera.
After opening the app, Fu Yunruo finally began her livestream channel.
"Hello everyone, I am Yunjuan Yunshu. This is my livestream channel. The purpose of my livestream is to grow flowers with everyone. I hope we can grow amazing orchids together."
"This is the flower room." As she spoke, she moved the camera around the flower room and began explaining the tools, seeds, and seedling plants one by one. Whether there were viewers or not, she still explained very seriously.
Fu Yunruo suddenly saw a comment pop out on the screen.
[Sister's voice is so nice! Love, love]
Fu Yunruo's eyes bent into a crescent and she said happily: "Thank you for the compliment."
She then noticed that the viewer of her channel had jumped from 0 to 8.
She was very happy.
It seems that doing a livestream is not that difficult!
[Sister must be very beautiful. Please show your face~]
The second comment popped up.
Fu Yunruo replied cleverly: "I don't show my face. My channel only shows the orchids. They are so beautiful. Can you bear looking at the streamer's face instead of admiring the orchids' beauty?"
[This streamer is so interesting~]
[I want to see the orchids, but also want to see Sister's face, ah.]
Fu Yunruo laughed, "I won't show my face, only show my orchids~"
The number of viewers quickly jumped up, and in an instant, had become 23.
Fu Yunruo chatted with one or two active commenters for a while and then said: "Back to the topic. I am ready to start planting the orchids. This is the seed of lotus petal orchid, this is the seed of jasper orchid…"
Fu Yunruo presented the seeds one by one, then fixed the phone on the table, pointing the camera at the empty flower pot next to it. This was the good angle she had spent a long time experimenting with. This way, the camera could capture her movements clearly, but her face wouldn't appear within the range.
Originally, Fu Yunruo only planned to grow one orchid, and tried to grow a mutated variation with that single plant. Unexpectedly, Uncle Guo gave her a lot of seeds and seedlings.
So, Fu Yunruo decided to select ten varieties of orchids and grew one pot of each.
She had limited energy, and ten was the maximum number she could focus on.
"For these ten varieties of orchids, every day I will plant a lucky one chosen by everyone who watch my channel. Since this is the first day, I choose a lotus petal orchid myself and will plant it today."
As she went on with her explanation, Fu Yunruo adjusted the ratio of soil and put it into a pot before planting the seed of lotus petal orchid. After she finished, she took the phone and looked at the screen. There were already 259 active viewers and a barrage of continuous comments. Everyone seemed to be interested in the seed-selecting activity and also interested in the streamer herself.
Fu Yunruo finally said: "Next, I will open a forum and started a vote for tomorrow's seed selection. If you want to grow a specific orchid, please vote and leave messages to support my channel. Click on the top right to follow my channel. See you tomorrow!"
Fu Yunruo turned off the livestream. She immediately went into her account to check on her livestream data. At the peak, nearly 400 people came to her channel. In the end, an average of 200 people remained to watch.
She was very satisfied with this data. Originally, she thought that her first day of livestreaming would not attract any viewers, so this was a pleasant surprise.
Panda Live was very friendly towards beginners. There was a special section on the homepage to promote new channels, and the duration of the promotion was fifteen days. During these fifteen days, new channels had the opportunity to appear briefly on the homepage. For two hours of livestreaming, maybe they only appeared for less than fifteen seconds per day, which seemed to be insignificant. However, it had to be known that Panda Live was one of the largest livestream platforms globally. It had more than 3 billion registered users, with average daily traffic of one billion viewers. Even counting domestic daily traffic alone, it still had more than 100 million daily viewers.
Therefore, for a channel to appear on the homepage for just one second meant that thousands of people would see it, and among them, maybe two or three hundred would click on the channel casually. To attract more viewers, a channel had to be attractive and eye-catching. Fu Yunruo's channel used the picture of a blooming orchid as a logo, and the category she chose was also related to plants, which attracted many genuine flower lovers.
Among the viewers who clicked on Fu Yunruo's channel, nearly half became followers. For the next livestream broadcast, these people would form the base of her viewers.
After looking at the statistics, Fu Yunruo hurriedly created a new thread on the forum and opened a vote. Like other livestream platforms, Panda Live also had a forum, which gathered quite a large amount of traffic and was almost comparable to a second weibo1. If fans of entertainment stars were mostly active in Weibo, then fans of livestreamers gathered in the forum. However, the two industries weren't totally inseparable, and many popular stars had fans on both sides.
Finished with that, Fu Yunruo couldn't help going back to reread the barrage of comments in her channel. During the livestream, she focused on doing things and delivering content, so she had no time to properly read every comment. Now that she finally looked at it again, she found that her viewers were very friendly.
Her channel's viewers were roughly divided into two categories: people attracted by her livestream content and people attracted by her voice or hands. No matter what the reason, at least they were here for now. On top of that, she also received a gift, although it was just a free little bamboo given by the platform every day.
Fu Yunruo clenched her fist and bounced happily.
Afterward, she continued tending to the orchids with a beaming smile. Although she was not going to put them on the camera, flower seedlings that had been separated needed to be taken care of carefully.
Uncle Guo was looking after baby Wenwen outside. Knowing that today was Fu Yunruo's first day doing a livestream, he accompanied the child to play quietly and tried not to make any noise. Hearing the movement inside, it seemed that the girl was very happy. Uncle Guo didn't understand these things, but the result must be pretty good.
Uncle Guo sat next to a playmat, gently watching over the tender and plump little baby. When the interior of the flower shed was re-arranged, the old man also specifically prepared an open area for Wenwen. The area was not large, only enough to place a playmat on the ground, and was surrounded by wooden slats with a small opening for a person to pass through. However, for a kid who had just learned to crawl, it was enough for him to play and explore.
Chi Wen really wanted to know the result of the woman's livestream. Did anyone say something bad? Would she feel sad when she saw it?
Chi Wen was full of worries. He absentmindedly played with building blocks while pricking his ears to the movements from the flower room. Finally, it went completely quiet inside, and the talking voice stopped. It should be over.
Chi Wen waited for a long time, but the woman didn't come out.
He couldn't wait any longer and raised his voice to babble a few times.
Why hasn't she come out yet? Does she forget about him?
Old man Guo immediately gathered the small building blocks scattered on the side and tried his best to put on a gentle face: "Grandpa will play with Wenwen, okay? Let's build a small house together."
Chi Wen babbled in protest at Grandpa Guo. He didn't want to play. He wanted to know the result of the livestream. In case the woman had no viewers at all, he would generously console her wounded heart. In any industry, everything was difficult at the beginning, but she shouldn't give up easily because of a small setback.
Right after Fu Yunruo finished planting the flower seedlings into the pots, she heard her son's little milky voice, which was full of presence. She immediately put everything away and ran out to find her son: "Baby, Mommy is here!"
Fu Yunruo quickly came over. She took off her shoes and entered her son's territory, then lovingly picked up his fragrant and soft body before giving him a few kisses and rubbing his little cheek with hers.
After coaxing her child, Fu Yunruo turned to Uncle Guo and smiled: "Uncle Guo, thank you for taking care of Wenwen."
Uncle Guo responded with a rare gentleness: "Wenwen is very well-behaved. Looking after him is very easy."
Uncle Guo stood up and took a look at Wenwen again.
Chi Wen was a person who knew to be grateful. He turned his head at Grandpa Guo and shook his chubby hand with an "Ah!" as if saying goodbye.
Old man Guo folded his hands behind his back and left contentedly.
Fu Yunruo sat on the playmat and put baby Wenwen in front of her. She took his chubby little hands into hers and couldn't stop squeezing it again and again.
Fu Yunruo's greatest satisfaction in this life was to raise her son to be white, chubby, and healthy. His small hands and feet were like lotus roots, and his fat little face was like a bouncy jelly, which was very cute and lovely.
Chi Wen allowed the woman to lay her hands on him. His little face that was bulging with baby fat was covered with helplessness. He tried to keep his face straight, but his shiny little eyes were full of smiles.
Chi Wen looked up at Fu Yunruo and patted her hand solemnly. He then babbled a few times, as if talking seriously.

Fu Yunruo's heart was overwhelmed with cuteness. She couldn't help rubbing her son's cheek again before hugging him in content, muttering happily: "Baobao, soon we will be able to make a lot of money! Mommy's livestream is going viral. Maybe I will be able to reach the pinnacle of life and take you to enjoy the world…"
As soon as she opened the chatterbox, Fu Yunruo couldn't help but narrating her ambition, even if she knew that her son couldn't understand it yet.
"Do you know how many people followed me on my first livestream? 119! I already have so many fans! And this is just the first day. At this rate, I will have 1,000 fans in ten days and 10,000 in a hundred days! If I continued for one year, two years…"
Oh my God, she was going to have countless fans!
The shining road to success seemed to open before her eyes.
Chi Wen: "…" He couldn't bear to break her enthusiasm, but fans weren't counted like this. The Chi Wen in the past also used to have a Panda Live account. At the peak of his popularity, he had more than one billion followers, with average daily viewers of 10 million.
However, fans would come and go, and when some became followers, others would unfollow. The people who followed this woman this early were mostly passersby, not fans. To turn passersby into real fans, she had to provide higher-quality contents that could consistently win people's appreciation, and she also had to have a unique selling point that could fascinate fans.
What's more, the new channel recommendation period in Panda Live was only fifteen days. After fifteen days, if there was no exclusive contract or promotion from the platform, she would have to entirely rely on herself to gain popularity. However, most newcomers didn't have this ability. They were usually unable to stand out of the crowd, and in the end, couldn't make even a small splash before gave up completely.
Forget it. Even if he couldn't speak yet, he could still barely console her when she lost her 'fans' later.
Fu Yunruo was in a state of excitement all day long and couldn't help but looking at the forum constantly. In fact, there weren't many visitors. Only about 20 people voted, with less than 35 comments in total. But Fu Yunruo couldn't help but refresh the page from time to time to see if there were new votes or comments. Whenever there was, she would be excited.
However, there were still many works left to do in the flower garden, and Fu Yunruo also had to take care of her little baby. Her free times were not much, and the day passed quickly.
At night, after taking a wash and preparing to sleep, Fu Yunruo her soft and fragrant son into her arm and couldn't help picking her mobile phone again. The last time she checked was three hours ago, and Fu Yunruo couldn't wait to see if there were new comments. In addition, she also wanted to see which orchid species won the vote and would be planted tomorrow.
Fu Yunruo suddenly screamed in horror.
Her follower number has decreased!
Fu Yunruo refreshed the page a few times. Sure enough, there were eight less than before!
She burst into tears. Why didn't it go up?
Chi Wen subconsciously tilted his two chubby feet forward and grabbed them with his hands, folding his flexible soft body into a fantastic arc. He then raised his little feet again and turned his head towards the woman, not at all surprised by her losing followers.
Recalling his determination today, he put down his feet, twisted his body, and crawled to give the woman a domineering kiss.
Now, now. Don't be discouraged. This is normal.
Fu Yunruo suddenly felt a soft touch on her cheek, and almost dropped the phone in her hand in shock.
Her Baobao seldom took the initiative to get sticky to her. Fu Yunruo looked at her son and was moved into tears.
Is Baobao comforting her?
She is so touched!
Fu Yunruo, who was so touched, reciprocated baby Wenwen from head to toe.
The helpless little baby was like a turtle turned over. His limbs struggled frantically into the air.
Aaaaah! This hateful woman!
Chi Wen's small body was as red as a boiled crayfish. After a long time, he finally got rid of the woman's harassment, crawled to the innermost part of the bed, and curled with his back facing outward.
This woman is so hateful! He very kindly comforted her, but she treated him this way!
Did she think he doesn't need a face?
He is furious!
Fu Yunruo was laughing behind her son's back. Baobao is so shy, how cute!
Although she still wanted to cuddle, she also knew that the child would be really angry and might ignore her for several days if she didn't stop.
After being comforted by her beloved son, Fu Yunruo's depression was wiped away, and she regained her spirit again.
Fu Yunruo waited until her son's anger was smoothed down, then she took the shy baby into her arms and patted his back gently to coax him to sleep.
Chi Wen closed his eyes tightly, leaning himself into the soft and fragrant embrace. He adjusted into a comfortable position and buried his face. Under the rhythmic pat, he was quickly overwhelmed with drowsiness and soon fell asleep.
After coaxing her son to sleep, Fu Yunruo continued browsing the forum. At first, she was very satisfied with her first day's result, but now that she was hit by reality, her enthusiasm has cooled down, and she began to worry again. After all, she didn't even know the average result for the first-time novice livestreamers, so she couldn't tell whether she was doing well or not.
Fu Yunruo spent a long time browsing the forum before she found a reliable data analysis to compare, and finally had a general idea. With her current result, she could be regarded as an upper-middle level, which was pretty good for a novice. Although it was still incomparable to the top streamers who gained thousand of followers right from the beginning, those were rare and few. The majority of the streamers slowly accumulate fans and popularity. As long as she advanced steadily, she would also reach that level one day!
Fu Yunruo got the conclusion she wanted, and put down the phone. She then put her arms around her soft little portable warmer and fell asleep in content.
The next day, Fu Yunruo took her son and departed to the flower garden earlier than usual. She intended to do her usual tasks with Uncle Guo before continued preparing for her livestream broadcast.
However, Uncle Guo gave her a sour face and drove her away, letting her do the work in her flower room. The old man made it very clear that the task he entrusted to her right now was to take care of the flower seeds and seedlings he had given her.
Having no other choice, Fu Yunruo went to the little flower room. After tidying up a bit, she opened the app and started the livestream, with the camera facing the soil where the seed yesterday was planted.
"Good morning, fellow orchid lovers. We meet again today…"
Fu Yunruo had just said a few opening words, but she saw the upper right corner of the screen showing only one viewer watching her. She was puzzled. Didn't she have more than one hundred followers yesterday? Why did no one come to watch today's livestream?
Were those fake followers?
Fu Yunruo suddenly smacked her forehead: "Why did I forget to notify the streaming schedule yesterday?"
Her fans didn't know her streaming schedule, so naturally they wouldn't come!
[This streamer is really cute :D]
A comment suddenly popped up. Although there was only one viewer, Fu Yunruo still handled it seriously: "This is my first time doing a livestream. I have no experience beforehand. Next time, I will do better."
[Streamer, you can turn on the automatic push notification.]
Yes, why didn't she think of it? Any livestream platform had a function for automatic push notification. Whenever a livestream began, all the followers would get an automatic notification. Because the function was turned off by default, the channel owner had to turn it on to use it. This, however, was a two-way function. If followers found the constant notification to be annoying, they could turn off the setting completely or block specific channels.
Fu Yunruo took the phone, quickly found the settings, and then turned on the automatic push notification. When she returned to the livestream interface, there was already a barrage of comments.
[You can also upload the recording of your livestreams to your channel's homepage, so that future audiences can watch your previous broadcasts.]
[Yes, fans can also re-watch it later]
Soon, there were 18 people watching the livestream.
Fu Yunruo listened to their opinion earnestly: "I see. This is true."
She only thought about starting a livestream, but never thought about what to do after the livestream broadcast ended. But how to record? Under the fans' guidance, Fu Yunruo finally knew that the platform automatically recorded every livestream broadcast, which then could be accessed via the dashboard.
The streamer then could edit and process the video to make it more lively and interesting, and then upload it to the channel's homepage. To do this, not having a computer was inconvenient. Fu Yunruo hadn't started making money yet, but she already considered another expense.
Although strictly speaking, this was a necessary investment, but after calculating her remaining funds, it was a bit…Fu Yunruo silently dismissed this idea. She should just wait until she made some money. Her savings needed to be set apart to raise her son, and couldn't be used arbitrarily.
Maybe thanks to the effect of automatic notification, but the numbers of viewers soon jumped on.
Fu Yunruo also started planting today's seeds. After one night, the number of people who voted in the forum was still small, but there was a significantly higher rate in one of the selections.
The selected seed for today was a species called low's boat orchid, a family of cymbidium orchid. Fu Yunruo proceeded to plant the seed while explaining each step to the viewers. Finally, she said: "Alright, the second child has been planted. Let's look forward to its birth."
[Second child, ahhhhhh!]
"Yes, this is the second child in our family. Let's focus on the eldest child next. Although we have a second child, we cannot reduce our attention to the eldest child. Otherwise, the eldest child will be jealous and refused to sprout. It's not good if the second child is born earlier than its eldest sibling, right?"
[Yunyun is really funny.]
[Yes, we can't let the second child be born before its eldest sibling.]
[Hahahahaha]
Fu Yunruo also couldn't hold her laughter.
Time flies quickly. Fu Yunruo looked at the time, and was about to end today's broadcast. She said: "Alright, we are about to finish here. Like yesterday, I will post a vote later in the forum. Whoever wants to choose the third child, just move your fingers to add your precious vote. Also, don't forget to click the 'follow' button on the top right of the screen. See you tomorrow!"
After announcing the broadcasting time for tomorrow, Fu Yunruo ended the livestream.
After announcing the starting time for tomorrow, Fu Yunruo ended the livestream. The time she chose to broadcast her livestream was not a popular one. She started before seven in the morning and ended at around ten o'clock. At these hours, the majority of people were still dreaming in bed or rushing to work. This also the time when students were at school, so the traffic in general was the lowest. The peak time for a livestreaming platform was on weekends, public holidays, and after 6 pm on weekdays.
The hour Fu Yunruo casually chose to start her livestream was out of the peak time. People who watched her channel so early mainly were office workers on their commute to work. However, because the flower room she used to livestream was at her workplace, Fu Yunruo couldn't take advantage of the night peak period, so her choices were only the smaller traffic around 7 o'clock in the morning and 12 o'clock at midday. Because Fu Yunruo thought that morning was more suitable to take care of flowers, she decided to keep this schedule for the time being.
After closing the livestream interface, Fu Yunruo started another voting in the forum and then returned to check today's statistics. Today's result had been more than tripled compared to yesterday, and the barrage of comments were also a lot more lively.
Her followers today were close to four hundred, and she also received gifts again! Yesterday's gift was a small bamboo that was rewarded for free by the platform every day, but today, not only she got free bamboos, she also got a few paid gifts!
She looked at the gift menu and found that after being converted into real money, the gifts were worth a total of twenty yuan! It had to be known that this money was to be shared between her and the platform with the ratio of 3:7. However, this small amount of money was enough to make Fu Yunruo overjoy. She became more interested in livestreaming and was even more motivated to do better.
…
In a city far away, in an upscale villa located inside a highly-secured community, Yuan Xin stood outside the door, yelling into the intercom while ringing the doorbell aggressively: "Si Yue, open the door! I know you are here. If you have the ability to hide inside the house, open the door right now!"
Yuan Xin shouted outside the door for a long time before the door finally opened, and he immediately rushed in like a mad bull.
Si Yue walked out with a lazy face: "Who made our family's Yuanyuan angry? Look at you; your hair has blown out. Your hair is already thin. If you are not careful, you will really become bald."
"You still have the gut to speak!" Yuan Xin angrily yelled. "The filming is going to start tomorrow, yet you, the male lead, are still so lazy here. Are you going to skip working, ah?!"
Si Yue frowned, "I'm not in the mood…"
"My lord, my ancestor! What happens with you again?"
Si Yue moved his gaze towards the flower shed in the yard: "My flower died…"
Si Yue's flower shed was specially built for raising flowers. It had the complete equipment and facilities, but the inside was totally bare. Let alone blooming flowers, it didn't even have a single seedling.
Yuan Xin: "…" The orchid that was obtained with a great effort, after 12 days of persistence, was finally unable to withstand the poison gas attack of the great Movie Emperor Si and died tragically?
Yuan Xin said coldly: "No wonder. You are a plant killer."
He was really made astonished by this guy's crazy ability to kill every flower he raised.
Si Yue's acting spirit seemed to be aroused. Bitterness and unyielding resentment appeared in his eyes, mixed with love and yearning, which made people feel heartache: "Why? I poured all my mind and gave it my utmost care every day. I paid so much, so why it still left me so decisively?"
Even Yuan Xin, who had seen this dog man's acting countless times, couldn't help being led by the nose. But this time, he hardened his heart and avoided looking at Si Yue.
"Is it because I am handsome? So handsome that it felt ashamed facing me and chose the road of no return?" Si Yue switched to the narcissistic mode in an instant. He touched his face, worrying again about how handsome he was.
Shameless! Yuan Xin sighed, feeling too tired to be sarcastic.
"Let's talk first. What will it take for you to be willing to work?" Yuan Xin folded his arms in front of his chest, resisting the urge to tie this guy and drag him to the filming site immediately.
"I want to raise flowers…"
People said that something unattainable was even more desirable.
Since Si Yue was born, anything he wanted was immediately provided by people around him, and there was nothing he couldn't obtain. But when he was in kindergarten, the teacher assigned homework for the children to raise a flower with their family.
That was the only homework he couldn't complete. Si Yue was very stubborn and refused to accept the reality. At that time, the flower he chose for the homework was an orchid, which started his life-long obsession with it. Growing up, he was used to raising an orchid from time to time.
Facing this problem, Yuan Xin had no answer. He didn't know how to cure Si Yue's plant killer disposition. Since he couldn't raise it himself, was it possible to let someone else raise it for him?
Yuan Xin's eyes suddenly brightened. That's it!
"As long as you can raise flowers successfully, you are willing to go to the filming site obediently?"
Si Yue raised his eyebrows and nodded lazily.
Having gained an inch, Yuan Xin asked for a foot: "There is also a talk show…"
"As long as I can raise a flower, I will go."
"This year's New Year Gala?"
Si Yue looked at Yuan Xin suspiciously. This guy suddenly demanded so much. Did he really have a way?
"I will go."
Yuanxin suddenly smiled. He took out his mobile phone and opened an app: "Alright, you can raise flowers here."
"What do you mean?"
"There is a livestreamer growing orchids in real-time. You can do online flower raising here."
Yuan Xin saw Chi Weicheng watch a video two days ago. He listened from the side, and found it quite interesting. After asking casually, it turned out to be a livestream about raising orchids, and Chi Weicheng also taught him a bit.
Wasn't this just right?
Since Si Yue couldn't raise a flower in person, just let him join an online flower raising community. This guy surely couldn't kill the orchids hundreds of miles away, right?
Yuan Xin searched for the name of the channel he watched that day. After confirming that it was the right one, he shoved the phone to Si Yue.
"You can raise orchids here in the future. The streamer grows orchids from seeds, and her goal is apparently to try to cultivate a mutated variety. Maybe you can raise not only living orchids, but also a mutated one."
Si Yue raised his eyebrows.
Yuan Xin said straightforwardly: "Online flower raising is still flower raising. Are you going to turn back on your words?"
Si Yue glanced at Yuan Xin and thought: since when was this guy's mind so bright?
Yuan Xin kept babbling: "I usually don't like to watch this kind of livestream. But I have to say that this streamer is naturally talented. She is not at all boring and makes the process of planting orchids interesting. She even opens a voting every day, letting the viewers choose the species to raise. This kind of activity is very attractive to people who want to raise flowers but unable to due to various constraints."
Si Yue was a bit interested, but there was no livestreaming at this moment. He put the matter on pending for the time being and said: "I hope this will be as interesting as you said. Otherwise, don't think about those talk shows and gala."
Si Yue then went back into the house and came out with the luggage he had packed beforehand.
Yuan Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead. One day he would go on a strike! Who liked to serve this dog-like man?!
