Those with a little money know that the online live streaming sector is quite messy.
Especially when some guilds recruit pretty female streamers, the first question they ask is: Do you have a boyfriend?
If you answer yes, it doesn't matter; later you can say no, or simply no longer have one.
The next question is: Are you willing to travel for work?
This is also an industry hint. Who the heck needs to travel for work as a female streamer?
After all, the top supporter ("bang yi da ge") might be out of town, and those who understand will understand.
As for the top supporter adding the female streamer's WeChat, it's basically the company's male employees flirting with the top supporter.
If there's no guild, it's even simpler. It's difficult to get popular initially, and once popular, there are all sorts of things beyond one's control.
This is the common phenomenon for the majority, not all, but it can be said that the waters are deep.
Lu Xiangfei's remark amused everyone. Xia Lin did indeed lose some of her ethereal aura when she was a streamer.
There were many pretty girls in the class. Apart from those on the level of school beauties like Xia Lin and Liu Jingru, there were also those on the level of departmental beauties like Wang Beibei and Chen Li.
"So I won't stream anymore," Xia Lin responded with a smile, playing along with everyone.
After everyone introduced themselves, they started drinking and eating.
The group was cheerful and appeared very happy, as if they had returned to campus, to that unrestrained, casually joking campus era.
"Hello, hello, hello..." Lu Xiangfei went on stage again, holding the microphone and calling out a few times.
"This is a proper class reunion to enhance our friendships. Let's not have those reunions that break up couples. That creates a bad impression. If you're interested in a classmate, don't act like a hooligan; aim for marriage."
Lu Xiangfei, seeing his classmates drinking and fooling around, went onto the stage and made a joke.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Lu Xiangfei was just reminding them, as they had been drinking and he didn't want any incidents.
"Everyone, feel free to drink. This hotel belongs to my older cousin. If you get drunk, you can go straight up to sleep." Lu Xiangfei came down from the stage, picked up his wine glass, and shouted to everyone.
The boys were drinking red wine, and a few of the girls also joined in with red wine, while the other girls opted for soft drinks.
As Lu Xiangfei was having a great time, his phone rang. He saw it was his older cousin calling. He walked outside the hall and answered the phone, calling out, "Big Cousin."
"Little brother, isn't your class reunion over yet?" the voice on the other end asked.
"No, my classmates are having fun, so we're extending it," Lu Xiangfei said with a smile.
"I'm passing by here, so I'll come up and take a look," his older cousin said.
"Then come on up. My classmates are very easy to get along with. Don't scare them," Lu Xiangfei specifically instructed.
"I know. Seeing how deep your feelings for your classmates are, I want to come and experience it. You know I never went to university, and I envy this kind of classmate friendship you have." His older cousin's tone revealed immense envy.
"Okay, good. I'll wait for you at the entrance." Lu Xiangfei said.
After they hung up, Lu Xiangfei waited at the entrance for a few minutes. A man in a black trench coat walked over.
"Big Cousin," Lu Xiangfei called out affectionately.
"Little brother, your brother truly admires you," his older cousin said, patting Lu Xiangfei heavily on the shoulder.
In his eyes, Lu Xiangfei achieving this was something unique.
"Come, let me introduce you to my classmates," Lu Xiangfei said, leading him towards the Imperial Hall.
Upon entering, Lu Xiangfei took the microphone and announced to everyone, "Classmates, my older cousin is here. Today's expenses and the rooms are all provided by him. He wants to come up and say hello."
Everyone looked towards the stage. A handsome man stood on it, appearing somewhat reserved.
"Sorry to disturb everyone. I never attended university, so I really envy the friendship you classmates share. Please don't mind me; eat as you normally would, drink as you normally would. I'll tell the kitchen to bring out some more dishes later."
After coming onto the stage, the man didn't say much, just greeted them and told them to continue eating and drinking.
He said he was here to say hello, and he truly only said hello.
"Lin'er, why is it him?" Liu Jingru whispered, holding Xia Lin's arm.
"I didn't expect it either," Xia Lin smiled, hoping he wouldn't see her.
The person on stage was none other than Pu Zaiye, a disciple of the Laoshan Sect, known as the King of Misfortune.
However, he was quite shrewd. Every time he encountered Xia Feng, he managed to turn misfortune into luck, just like he did in Hong Kong last time.
Since leaving the Laoshan Sect, Pu Zaiye had become very honest and never bullied anyone, because he knew that if he did too many bad deeds, karma would eventually catch up.
Pu Zaiye was pleased with the way everyone looked at him. He scanned everyone below, and when his gaze passed over Xia Lin, he was momentarily lost, his eyes fixed on Xia Lin's direction.
Isn't this my grand-aunt?
Pu Zaiye rubbed his eyes, afraid he was mistaken, and looked again.
My goodness!
This is indeed my grand-aunt.
Pu Zaiye swallowed hard and hurried over to Xia Lin's table. He said excitedly, "You... how are you here?"
"I'm your little brother's classmate, Big Cousin," Xia Lin said with a smile.
That one phrase "Big Cousin" almost made Pu Zaiye collapse.
He couldn't handle that; hearing "Big Fool" would have been more comfortable.
Pu Zaiye's reaction drew everyone's attention. Lu Xiangfei looked bewildered.
"Just call me Little Pu, just Little Pu," Pu Zaiye respectfully bowed and nodded repeatedly, his attitude as
fawning as possible.
"Big Cousin, do you know my classmate Xia Lin?" Lu Xiangfei walked over, asking curiously.
"Call her Miss Xia," Pu Zaiye turned to Lu Xiangfei, correcting him with a serious expression.
"No, I'm classmates with Lu Xiangfei. No matter who I am or what my future status may be, we are classmates, classmates for life," Xia Lin quickly stood up to stop him.
Lu Xiangfei was right. They were all classmates, and there was no need to show off in front of them. If you have the ability, help everyone get rich together.
Don't engage in useless comparisons and jealousy.
"Yes, yes, yes," Pu Zaiye nodded quickly after hearing this.
Lu Xiangfei was somewhat confused. He knew very well what kind of person Pu Zaiye was, and yet he was acting like a little fool in front of Xia Lin.
Could it be that Xia Lin had some hidden identity?
Does that mean that Xia Lin's earlier statement about investing a small fortune was true?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangfei became a little excited. Could his classmates get rich sooner?
At this moment, Lu Xiangfei excitedly asked, "Xia Lin, is what you told me earlier about investing a small fortune true?"
Xia Lin smiled and said, "Of course. How could I dare to lie to the class monitor?"
Lu Xiangfei's expression froze upon hearing this; Holy crap!

(ps: I've been working overtime every day at the end of the year. I get back too late at night, so I'm writing with my eyes half-closed, so it's a bit messy o(╥﹏╥)o)
(Also, the friendships between classmates are pure. There isn't so much comparison and bad intentions in this world, so I don't write about classmates facing off. That would be too cliché. Furthermore, my university classmates are genuinely very good.)
