Jack Ma watched the smug Penguin Ma with a speechless expression.
This was truly shameless.
As expected of someone who specialized in ripping off elementary school students, this conduct was certainly out of the ordinary.
Brother Ma, isn't this going too far? Jack Ma wore a look of utter disbelief.
What's too far? Are you upset? It's good if you're upset, haha...
Penguin Ma burst into laughter upon seeing Jack Ma's distressed expression.
It'll infuriate you.
Jack Ma understood Penguin Ma's ways too well, so he didn't bother saying more. He turned to Ma Yuqin and asked, "Xiao Qin, do you have an account on the Shark platform? Can Uncle borrow it?"
"Mhm, okay." Ma Yuqin agreed without hesitation.
She couldn't stand her father's behavior, finding it a bit sleazy.
Penguin Ma glared at Ma Yuqin upon hearing this, thinking, "What a little cotton-padded jacket, it's full of holes."
Xia Lin's livestream room.
Dao Teng Qi Lin: Lin'er, when will it start? I'm waiting so hard I dare not blink, my eyes are already red.
No Electricity Little Fairy: Haha... It's almost time. My boyfriend says I waste my time watching these boring livestreams every day, so now I'm kneeling on the ground as punishment. You must let me win a consolation prize! I've liked that handbag for a long time. I'll slap his face then.
Bai Qian Sheng: What? You can still blink? I had my eyelids surgically removed the other day.
Yong Yu: Is that you, Show Off?
The Pig Who Can Climb Trees: It's okay, if I win the grand prize, I can afford new eyes.
Mu Se Feng Ye: Lin'er, if you don't let me win, I'm unfollowing you. (Threatening emoji).
Wang Zhe Tian Xing: Unfollow quickly, unfollow now, I beg you.
Mu Se Feng Ye: ...
Alright, we're about to begin. Since there are quite a few prizes today, everyone whose screenshot is captured wins. Are you all ready? Xia Lin said into the microphone, addressing the livestream room.
Ye Huang: I've been ready for a long time.
The Son of Light from Wu Yu: I was ready yesterday.
Wine Factory - Wine: Ready.
Dao Teng Qi Lin: Waiting for it to start.
Mu Se Feng Ye: Waiting.
Yong Yu: Waiting.
Then let's begin. Just like last time, everyone type "666" in the comments, and I'll randomly screenshot. The lucky draw is starting now. Xia Lin announced, and the lucky draw was about to commence.
All the fans in the livestream room kept typing "666" non-stop, and as soon as they sent it, they followed up with another "666."
Xia Lin sent the details of everyone who won to National Little Wang. National Little Wang and Qin Dou were responsible for logistics, while Jiang Xin helped Xia Lin with the setup.
As the livestream draw began, the popularity soared, reaching over a million online viewers. Not a single bot, all of them were real users who could type "666."
Meanwhile, Penguin Ma and Jack Ma, on the other side, were competing to send gifts, incessantly spamming rockets.
Brother Ma, you're not going to take a cut of this money, are you? Jack Ma finally realized and asked Penguin Ma.
Of course not, I'm taking half. Penguin Ma held his phone with both hands, his head bowed as he continued to send rockets.
Damn, I have to tell Lin'er that you stingy guy is making money off her. Jack Ma said and prepared to get up and report him.
Uh... no cuts, no cuts. How would I dare to take Lin'er's money? You're just meddling. Penguin Ma looked speechless.
Really? Jack Ma seemed unconvinced.
Really. Penguin Ma nodded to confirm.
Seeing Jack Ma's look of disbelief, Penguin Ma continued, "Do you think I would take a cut from Lin'er? Ask Yuqin if you don't believe me."
I'll believe you this time, reluctantly. Jack Ma sat back down after saying this.
Jiang Quanshui listened to the conversation between the "Two Mas" from the side, his mind racing. He was the only one in the villa who hadn't taken any practical action.
This won't do.
Should he buy Lin'er a car?
Buying a car wouldn't work either; these things were too cheap, at most tens of millions.
It's not presentable at all.
How about gifting another villa?
Gifting a larger villa seemed like a good idea, but how to phrase it?
He couldn't possibly say, "Lin'er, your family has too many people now and can't fit, so I'm gifting you a bigger one."
That would be too awkward, implying that everyone was just freeloading at their place.
Jiang Quanshui was getting a headache. In any case, he couldn't be useless here.
"I'm looking up at the moon, how many dreams are flying freely~~~"
Jack Ma's old-fashioned mobile ringtone rang out, interrupting Jiang Quanshui's thoughts.
When Ma Yuqin heard the ringtone, her eyes widened in surprise.
So tacky!
Jack Ma didn't see Ma Yuqin's surprised expression. He answered the call and walked outside the villa.
The call was from Lei Ming. If Lei Ming hadn't called, he would have almost forgotten.
Mr. Lei. Jack Ma, knowing he was in the wrong, chuckled.
Mr. Ma, that's not very considerate. I heard your company's business is proceeding normally in India. Didn't you say we're all family once we're abroad? You promised to notify me, but you've been in Modu for a few days without any news.
Lei Ming's tone on the phone was full of blame.
Jack Ma had made grand promises initially, but then he forgot him.
Heh heh... encountered a slight issue, so I didn't notify you. Jack Ma chuckled and started lying.
There was no issue at all; he just forgot.
In fact, it wasn't entirely Jack Ma's fault. He had no idea the situation at the villa would be like this.
He only found out after arriving here, and he was so scared he almost peed himself that he completely forgot about Lei Ming.
Just tell me, how was your company's business resolved? Lei Ming asked.
This... Old Lei, it's inconvenient to say. You really can't blame me. In short, some things are beyond your imagination. Jack Ma began to act profound.
It wasn't that he didn't want to say, but it was genuinely difficult to explain.
He himself had to shamelessly get into the villa and cook for two days. He couldn't exactly invite Lei Ming over, could he?
He had the thought but not the guts.
Old Ma, you're not being honest. If you do this, what's the difference between you and Penguin Ma? Lei Ming compared him to Penguin Ma.
Don't compare me to him. It makes me angry just talking about it. He just played a trick on me earlier. Jack Ma retorted.
What's wrong? Aren't you in Modu? Lei Ming asked.
I'm in Modu, and I'm with him. We eat, drink, and sleep together. Jack Ma didn't hide this from Lei Ming, as there was nothing to hide, and he would find out sooner or later.
Lei Ming on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Eating, drinking, and sleeping together?
What's going on?
Have they reached some kind of agreement and made peace?
This is going to be the Two Mas joining forces, invincible under heaven.
