She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

When Jiang Lai said she was going to end the broadcast, she meant it, completely ignoring the viewers in the live stream who were desperately trying to persuade her to stay.

—Two hours already? That fast? I want to hear more! I'm still not asleep 5555

—Is that all? No! Let it play a little longer!

—I just logged in, how did it end already?! I haven't had enough yet! Did anyone screen record it? DM me!

—I've discovered a hidden gem of a streamer!! I've followed them.

—You're about to graduate school! You have no work and no classes tomorrow, what's wrong with broadcasting for a little longer??

—Play for another two hours! I'll send you gifts!

People in the live stream kept commenting until their phone screens went black.

[Live stream has ended]

Everyone was speechless. They had never seen such a capricious live stream before. Not only did she start the stream without prior notice, but she also ended it so quickly. But there was nothing they could do; they just loved her voice and couldn't find a substitute.

-

Tonight, another live stream has ended.

Fu Changyuan was originally lying lazily in the chair, but the live broadcast stopped, and just then the door was opened, so he sat up.

Ye Kong walked in and noticed that Fu Changyuan's shirt was wrinkled and the recliner hadn't been put away yet. He made a mischievous face, with a meaning that adults would understand, "I just heard a girl's voice. Were you looking at something behind my back? It's rare to see you like this. I didn't expect you to be so flirtatious behind my back, even though you seem so aloof. In the office?"

After saying that, he glanced at Fu Changyuan's expression and, seeing that he was neither embarrassed nor shy, nor did he seem displeased, he suddenly felt a little bored. "Forget it, you old virgin are really boring."

Fu Changyuan turned off the screen, pulled back his chair, placed his phone face down on the table, and calmly asked, "I was just watching some videos on Douyin. What do you want?" The implication was that if he had nothing to say, he should get lost.

"I must have had the worst luck working for you. I've worked so hard for you until now, and you still complain about me?" Ye Kongxing said in a affected, high-pitched voice.

"If you don't want to do it, you don't have to."

The Ye and Fu families are old friends. Ye Kongxing has a capable older brother who took over the family business. He only needs to collect dividends to live comfortably. However, his brother has always disapproved of his younger brother's idleness and always wants to bring him to his side to find something for him to do. Ye Kongxing hates his brother the most. He would rather work for Fu Changyuan than go to his brother's side, so he stayed at the Fu family.

Ye Kongxing secretly rolled his eyes. "Just wait until I go back to help my brother, then you'll be crying."

He casually placed the report on the table. "This is Yuanyang's report from last quarter. I brought it for you. By the way, Yuanyang has been established for five years now. How about we hold an anniversary event?"

A new broom sweeps clean, and if Fu Changyuan really transfers him to Yuanyang, Ye Kongxing will have to show some real results to get the others in Yuanyang to obey him as an "paratrooper".

Fu Changyuan nodded: "Okay, you can discuss it with the planning department over there and let me know when the time comes. I trust you with the Yuanyang matter."

"Alright, that's what I've been waiting for. Now I'll get right to it." Ye Kongxing waved his hand. "I'm off, I'm exhausted. I'm off to a drinking party. You can continue sleeping at the company."

Fu Changyuan did not reply. He watched quietly as Ye Kong walked out of the office and into the lounge.

The 27th floor of the Fu Corporation building is the president's exclusive floor, which includes an office area and a rest area. Fu Changyuan often sleeps at the company, and there is a room here with pajamas, toiletries, and bedding.

After washing up, Fu Changyuan left the bathroom, lay down on the bed, and turned on his phone. He had recorded today's live stream.

The girl's voice came from the phone, her British accent pure and fluent, and her image seemed even more vivid... intelligent, hardworking and ambitious, he sketched a portrait of the girl.

The live stream ended around midnight. Jiang Lai had previously found the official Douyin account for the radio drama "Peach Blossom Smile" and forwarded her audition clip to her homepage, but then stopped following it.

Tonight, she curiously clicked on the comments section.

Guo Da Zai Zai: The newcomer's voice fits the image of Shaoyin quite well—gentle and sweet. The emotional control in this clip is also quite good. We can have some expectations for her performance in the radio drama.

Azure Kagoshima: It was Fukushima-sensei who helped with the audition! Will I ever see Fukushima-sensei do voice acting again in my lifetime?

Yoyo: Fu Qingshan basically doesn't do voice acting anymore, so please enjoy the listen while you can.

Da Lezi: Jinse previously said she was interested in voicing Shaoyin, so why was it changed to a newcomer?

Orange-flavored lollipop: Jinse is a fairly well-known voice actress, how come she is not as good as a newcomer?

Freedom: I'm really fed up with you Jinse fans. Jinse's voice is that of a mature woman, and her falsetto is just average. Which of the roles she voiced before wasn't on the mature side? Shaoyin doesn't suit her at all! Can't she just stick to being a streamer and singing?

Bei Yuan: Isn't it true that newcomers are brought in by Fu Qingshan? If Fu Qingshan hadn't helped her get into character, could she have done such a good job? What skills can a newcomer possibly have?

Jiang Lai looked at the screen and, aside from praising her own voice as being suitable for Shaoyin, asked why Jinse hadn't gotten the role.

“This Jinse…” Jiang Lai took out her phone and tapped Fu An’s profile picture.

You patted Fu An on the shoulder.

Fu An: ?

Alai: Director Fu, what's the deal with all the talk about Jinse online?

Fu An: A voice anchor who previously said on Weibo that she really liked Shok and wanted the role, but she failed the audition and we rejected her a long time ago.

Fu An was obviously aware that people were discussing this matter, and he comforted Jiang Lai.

Fu An: Don't worry, they'll understand why you're better than her after you finish dubbing.

Fu An: Her fans came looking for you?

Alai: No, it's just that I saw a lot of people talking about it in the comments section of the video.

Fu An: Okay, if any of her fans still have something to say tomorrow, I will also release Jinse's audition clip. She is far inferior to you. Don't worry, you are the one I have chosen, and I will not make things difficult for you.

Alai: (The kitten makes a heart shape with its hands)

Fu An saw Jiang Lai send an emoji on the other end of the phone, coughed awkwardly twice, and typed: Go to sleep early, goodnight.

Alai: Goodnight!

A little while later, another message came through on WeChat.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: Sis! Are you alright?!

Alai: ?

Bai Lu Wei Xi: Lao Fu told me that Jinse's fans are after you?

Jiang Lai typed slowly: It's not that serious. It's just that her fans said she's better than me and I'm not good enough for someone like Shonin. They didn't attack me, just said a few words to me, nothing serious.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: That's good! Jinse isn't a professional voice actress; she also streams on Douyin. I don't know if you've seen her.

Jiang Lai really didn't know this; she didn't care about Jinse at all.

Bai Luxi continued to send messages.

Bai Lu Wei Xi: Her livestreams consist of singing, playing games, and occasionally doing voice acting. There are quite a few people who like mature, sophisticated voices, so she does have some fans and is somewhat well-known in the voice acting circle. She usually voices queen-like, aloof, and emotionless mature female characters. I don't know what got into her to decide to voice Shokz; we rejected her during her private audition.

Unlike Bai Luxi, who genuinely enjoys voice acting, Jinse treats it more like a hobby, a way to attract fans. When she voiced Soo-yin before, she hadn't even finished reading the novel, let alone conveyed any emotion in the performance, which is why Bai Luxi dislikes her.

Alai: I understand, I understand. I'll just ignore those fans.

White Dew Before Dawn: Patting head.

Alai: Director Fu told me to go to the studio's recording studio to do voiceovers, and then I can meet up with Sister Bai and have a meal together!

Bai Lu Wei Xi: No problem!! I'll be waiting for you!! I'll take you to eat all the delicious food in the capital!

The two chatted for a while longer before Bai Luxi said she was going to sleep, thus ending the conversation.

Jiang Lai switched back to Douyin and searched for Jinse.

The results popped up quickly on the main interface.

The first person on the user's list is Jinse, with 31.3 followers, a Douyin (TikTok) streamer.

The first video below is her singing in a mature, older-sister voice. Jiang Lai clicked in and listened to it. Well, it felt like she was deliberately lowering her voice, but it was actually quite good.

Jiang Lai then went through her other videos and found that most of them were singing, then playing games, flirting with guys in the game with her voice, and occasionally some dubbing videos.

"It's all because 'Peach Blossom Smile' is too popular, otherwise Jinse wouldn't be so obsessed with Shaoyin." Jiang Lai shook her head and then exited the app. She thought Jinse had millions of fans.

"001, has the required level of favorability been reached?"

001: "It's still a little short. Judging from the current popularity, it should reach that goal tomorrow."

"Okay." Jiang Lai relaxed. "Wake me up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

001: "I'm your system, not your alarm clock!"

"The alarm clock won't wake me up!" Jiang Lai said emphatically.

001: "...You know how to use the system."

"You flatter me." Jiang Lai lay down. "I'm going to sleep, don't bother me!"

001: ? ? With this attitude, you expect me to call you?

-

But at eight o'clock the next day, 001 still woke Jiang Lai up on time.

"Get up! Stop living the life of a young master! Get up! Stop living the life of a young master! Get up!" 001 shouted in Jiang Lai's mind.

Jiang Lai buried her head in the pillow and covered her ears.

"Covering your ears won't help! Get up! Do you still want your reward?!"

No matter how long you shout, it won't be as effective as this one sentence.

Jiang Lai immediately snapped out of her daze, "Can I claim my reward now?"

001 remained silent: "Yes."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get it right away!" Jiang Lai sat down on the bed at the desk, where there was a mirror.

Jiang Lai stared intently at herself in the mirror. A familiar feeling washed over her, and then, in the blink of an eye, her nose had changed. Small and straight, it looked beautiful from the side, finally appearing much more harmonious. The nose of a legendary beauty was terrifying!

“Then there was the fragrance of her breath—” Jiang Lai breathed on her hands, then smelled them. “Why is there no scent?”

"?"

Jiang Lai said matter-of-factly, "Shouldn't it have the scent of orchids?"

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?" 001 said, "Breath as fragrant as orchids doesn't have that function!! It just makes you breathless."

Jiang Lai shrugged. "Just kidding. But if I eat something with a strong flavor, won't I have a smell?"

"It'll be gone after rinsing your mouth."

"That's really useful!!" Jiang Lai exclaimed happily. "I still need to keep posting videos and doing live streams so I can keep getting prettier! Those guys I was trying to woo were completely useless."

"By the way, because the fans who did your voice acting before had a good following, they also contributed a lot of goodwill points. Now you can exchange it for another reward, it's—"

Jiang Lai interrupted it: "My darling, you said before that Bai Luxi is the one you've won over with her bright eyes and white teeth, can we change it? Let's change it to this one first, and the reward for winning her over will be separate?"

001: "Are you sure you don't want to hear about the other rewards I'm going to give you?"

"OK." "Alright then! As you wish."

The face in the mirror became both familiar and unfamiliar.

Jiang Lai looked at herself in the mirror, her face showing a sleepy, bewildered expression. Her face was delicate, full of youthful energy, and brimming with collagen.

Her eyes had changed. The small, dull, and slightly swollen eyes of the past had disappeared, replaced by a pair of round, almond-shaped eyes with upturned corners. When she looked directly at someone, they gave off a harmless and innocent vibe. But—when Jiang Lai looked up, those almond-shaped eyes immediately became alluring, as if they were brimming with affection.

Jiang Lai rubbed her eyes, which immediately turned red. She yawned, and her eyes became misty, making her look exceptionally pitiful.

"Honestly, if you could use that on other people, I'd just open a plastic surgery clinic. Why would I bother being a streamer or studying?" Jiang Lai exclaimed.

She touched her eyes repeatedly, and even her sparse eyelashes became thick and curled, which was truly amazing.

001: "Products made by the system are guaranteed to be of high quality."

"Bright eyes and white teeth," after seeing that, Jiang Lai started to grin.

"My teeth have become straight, no more cavities, and they've even whitened! Wow, I feel like it's a shame if my teeth aren't used for toothpaste commercials." Jiang Lai wasn't exactly overly happy about the change; her teeth were fine before, with no major problems.

"Great, I need to think of a way to continue taking advantage of netizens."

Actually, when Jiang Lai was browsing videos yesterday, she saw some bloggers showing off their figures. Some were just normal displays, while others were a bit suggestive. Both types of videos had many comments and a lot of followers. If you really compare them, the ones that were suggestive had more followers.

"You won't—?"

Jiang Laiyi said righteously, "I never intended to cross the line, don't overthink it."

However, the video of Jinse that she watched yesterday gave her some ideas. She could actually become a singer and sing live on stream. She had thought about this path before, but had never put it into practice.

Jiang Lai stood up. "Let's go brush our teeth and wash our faces. We're going to dance and play the violin today."

Jiang Lai's dance and painting classes are every other day, while her violin and English classes are every day. She has enrolled in all four classes for a month.

"A busy day."
