14: Chapter 14 Holy crap, they're even holding a live-streamed concubine selection!

The viewers in the livestream were completely green with envy.

This was a blatant display of wealth! This was a public execution for all the single dogs out there!

Su Yun watched the smug, fat man on the screen, the smile on his face gradually turning cold.

He didn't refute Qian Duoduo's twisted logic, nor did he judge the choices of those girls.

In this materialistic world, everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, even if that way seems degenerate to others.

However.

Everything comes with a price.

Qian Duoduo only saw the immediate pleasure, failing to see the abyss behind that pleasure that had already opened its bloody maw.

“Boss Qian, this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is indeed quite nice.”

Su Yun's voice suddenly turned low, piercing through the noise of the livestream and reaching everyone's ears clearly.

“However, I don't know if I should say this.”

Qian Duoduo was currently immersed in the thrill of being envied by tens of thousands. Hearing this, he waved his hand nonchalantly: “Master, go ahead! I'm happy today, I'll enjoy anything you say!”

Su Yun nodded, his fingers lightly tapping the table with a rhythmic 'thump, thump'.

“You just said that this is each party getting what they need, a transaction.”

“That's not wrong.”

“But.”

Su Yun's tone shifted, his gaze instantly becoming as sharp as a knife, piercing straight into Qian Duoduo's eyes.

“I'm afraid your business has reached its end.”

Hearing this, Qian Duoduo didn't panic at all; instead, he looked like he had just heard the world's biggest joke.

He leaned back into his sofa, the leather making a soft 'creak' as if protesting the weight of this hunk of fat.

“Master, you're being boring now.”

Qian Duoduo swirled the red wine glass in his hand, the crimson liquid leaving streaks on the glass walls.

He looked at Su Yun on the screen with eyes full of the disdain and contempt unique to those in high positions.

“I know people like you.”

“You're just bitter about the rich.”

“Seeing that I have money and live better than you makes you feel unbalanced. You're dying for me to run into bad luck, aren't you?”

Qian Duoduo blew out a smoke ring, wearing an expression of someone who had seen through the world.

“Those few things you calculated just now were indeed accurate, I'll admit you have some skill.”

“But if you want to use these scare tactics to make me pay more, or if you want to see me make a fool of myself...”

He extended a finger as thick as a carrot and wagged it at the camera.

“Then you've miscalculated.”

“I have money. In this world, as long as you have money, there's no trouble that can't be solved.”

“If there is, it's just because there isn't enough money.”

These words were arrogant to the extreme.

But coming from his mouth, paired with that luxurious background, it was actually impossible to refute.

Su Yun looked at his insufferable appearance and didn't get angry, merely continuing to tap the table rhythmically.

“Boss Qian misunderstand me.”

“When I tell fortunes, one is one, and two is two.”

“Since you think I'm bitter about the rich, then let's keep watching.”

Su Yun pointed to the comment section at the bottom of the screen.

“But before you see my prediction come true, it seems you have a new problem.”

“Or should I say... a new admirer?”

Qian Duoduo was stunned and instinctively looked down at his phone screen.

Because of Su Yun's sentence 'your business has reached its end', the comments in the livestream had stalled for a moment.

But immediately following that, the comment section exploded like a bursting dam.

However, the direction of this explosion completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

The original voices of abuse, accusation, and criticism from the moral high ground were now being drowned out by another, even more frenzied voice.

“Daddy Qian! Are you still looking for people? I'm not greedy, thirty thousand is enough!”

“The person above me, stop being such a sellout! Boss Qian, look at me, I'm a senior at the arts academy, majoring in dance. My flexibility is excellent, I can unlock all sorts of poses!”

“Can we not be so strict about gender? Male college students are strong and fit; I can carry bags, hold your liquor, and even help manage the harem!”

“President Qian, I don't want to work hard anymore! Please give me your contact info, I'm buying a ticket right now!”

“Fifty thousand a month? Plus a BMW Mini? This is a god-tier life! My current crappy company pays three thousand and I have to work overtime every day!”

“It's not shameful to do it for money! Boss Qian, begging for an interview opportunity! Private message sent, full-body photo attached!”

Insane.

The entire livestream had gone insane.

In this era where people laugh at the poor but not the prostitute, when Qian Duoduo's 'money power' was displayed nakedly before everyone, moral bottom lines seemed so fragile.

Dignity, reputation—everything was thrown to the back of their minds in the face of fifty thousand a month, luxury cars, and villas.

Su Yun looked at the screen full of comments begging to be kept, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In this world, even mice are being bridesmaids for cats; things have truly gone haywire.

Although he knew this was human nature, seeing it displayed so bluntly was still somewhat absurd.

On the other side of the screen, Qian Duoduo watched these frantic comments, his expression shifting from astonishment to wild joy.

His vanity was satisfied like never before at this moment.

“Hahahaha!”

Qian Duoduo burst into a fit of laughter, laughing so hard he almost cried.

“Master, do you see that?”

“This is the voice of the masses!”

“You said my business was at its end? I'd say business is booming!”

He waved excitedly at the camera, his face flushed red as if he’d been injected with chicken blood.

“Ladies, brothers, since everyone is so enthusiastic, I, Old Qian, can't be stingy.”

“How about this!”

Qian Duoduo waved his hand grandly and said heroically:

“It just so happens a room opened up recently. I was worrying about where to find someone new, but since everyone is so eager, let's do something big!”

“Let me think...”

He rubbed the fat on his chin, his eyes lighting up.

“Let's hold an open audition right here in this livestream!”

“Anyone who wants to sign up, send gifts to this streamer! Those who send the most, I'll give an interview opportunity!”

“As long as I like you, we'll sign the contract immediately, send the car on the spot, and you move in tomorrow!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the livestream completely exploded.

“Auditions?! Holy crap, he's going to hold a site-wide concubine selection!”

“Boss Qian is awesome! This move is 666!”

“Even though I really want to curse him out, I want to watch the drama even more! I'm going to go call my useless girlfriend over right now!”

“I want to sign up too! Nobody stop me!”

Following Qian Duoduo's words, the popularity of the livestream shot up like a rocket.

The livestream, which originally had only ten or twenty thousand people, was instantly flooded with another twenty or thirty thousand.

All sorts of gift special effects flew across the screen, even though they were mostly cheap little gifts.

But this momentum was more lively than even the biggest internet celebrities.

On the popularity leaderboard in the top right corner, Su Yun's livestream shot directly to the number one spot on the hourly rankings!

Su Yun watched this increasingly ridiculous turn of events, his brow furrowing slightly.

This fat guy is messing around on the edge of death.

This is a legitimate livestreaming platform. Doing this... does he think his account has lived too long?

“Boss Qian, that's enough.”

Su Yun spoke up to remind him, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

“I don't know if your audition will succeed, but I do know that if you keep acting up like this, you'll probably be going to the station for some tea.”

“Furthermore.”

Su Yun's gaze sharpened, and his tone became serious.

“When I said your business was at its end, I wasn't scaring you.”

“That Tuesday tenant of yours, the one named Lin Xiaoya.”

Hearing this name, the excited Qian Duoduo froze for a moment.

“How do you know her name is Lin Xiaoya?”

Su Yun ignored his surprise and continued:

“She's no ordinary female college student.”

“She's a top student from the journalism department. She didn't agree to your conditions for the money at all.”

“She did it for her graduation project, and to get a big scoop while she was at it.”

“Everything you've done during this time, including those things you just said in the livestream, has already become material in her hands.”

“Right now, she should already be organizing the evidence, preparing to send it to the media to expose you.”

These words were well-reasoned and full of detail.

The frenetic atmosphere in the livestream was like being doused with a bucket of ice water, cooling down instantly.

Holy crap?

Infernal Affairs?

This plot twist is way too fast!

One moment it was a site-wide concubine selection carnival, and the next it turned into an undercover spy thriller?
