After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

I fell to the ground in a sorry state, and the pain in my back made me a little dazed.

Xiao Yu looked smug, her gaze sweeping over everyone present as if to warn, "If anyone wants to help this company, they're making an enemy of me, and I don't mind taking you all down with them."

Everyone in the company saw Xiaoyu's arrogant behavior, but not a single person dared to speak up for me.

She was one of the top female anchors in the company, and no one dared to offend her at this juncture.

I scrambled to my feet, brushed the dust off myself, and tried my best not to think about it.

No matter what Little Fish wants to do to me, I can't give up easily.

Now the burden of the family rests entirely on my shoulders, so I have to work even harder.

I didn't waste any time with Xiaoyu; after getting up, I went straight to the workroom.

Before I could even start the live stream, I suddenly received a notification from Jiang Yichen that he needed to attend a meeting.

I rushed to the conference room.

Once all the streamers had arrived, Jiang Yichen gave us a quick glance around before finally fixing his gaze on me.

For some reason, my heart was beating unusually fast.

I have a feeling that this meeting is specifically targeting me.

A few seconds later, Jiang Yichen spoke in a deep voice, reminding all of us anchors.

"Starting this month, the company will implement an elimination system, and the bottom three in each quarter will be laid off."

Upon hearing this, I felt like the sky was about to fall.

In terms of quarterly performance, I estimate that I can't compare to other streamers.

Thinking about what happened last night, I subconsciously thought that this was a tactic Jiang Yichen used to get rid of me.

After all, he wanted me to be his mistress.

I felt a bit overwhelmed and unconsciously clutched the hem of my clothes.

I didn't hear a word Jiang Yichen said at the final meeting; all I could think about was how to push myself forward.

The more he tries to stop me, the more determined I become.

Since I've already offended him, why bother with this one?

……

It was late at night, and only my light was on in the entire company.

I buried my face in my arms on the table, and tears finally streamed down my face.

After pretending to hold back all day, I finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Jiang Yichen, that bastard, I really want to tear him to pieces.

But I'm a coward.

Just then, an unpleasant knock on the door interrupted me.

I nervously looked up at the doorway and found that it was Little Sweetie who had come to find me.

Not wanting her to see me in such a disheveled state, I quickly got up, wiped away my tears, and pretended nothing had happened.

She walked in, glanced at me briefly, and sighed.

"Why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Little Sweetie sat across from me and relayed the latest information she had received to me.

"I heard there's a competition in Tongcheng to select the best talent broadcaster. The first prize is quite generous. I think you should sign up."

When she said those words, I could clearly feel that Sweetie was worried about me.

I felt a surge of emotion, but more than that, I felt a sense of hesitation.

After thinking about it, I politely declined.

"I don't have any special talents."

Little Sweetie seemed to have guessed it all along, and calmly expressed her opinion.

"If you really want to participate, you can learn to dance with me."

Sweetie's enthusiasm ignited a glimmer of hope in my heart.

Even though I have a lot of debt at home, I still want to give it a try.

I learned about the specific registration process from Little Sweetie, and went to register the next day.

When I arrived at the venue, I discovered that the competition was actually organized by Liang Xiaorou and several rich kids.

The main purpose of selecting outstanding anchors this time is to have them endorse the family business.

If you can win first place, not to mention the generous prize money, the exposure from this endorsement alone will make your career soar.

But when I thought about how the organizer was Liang Xiaorou, I couldn't help but have second thoughts.

I stood at the registration point, hesitant to make a move.

Just then, a mocking voice came from afar.

"Gu Mo, what brings you here? Is it for money?"

I looked in the direction of the sound and found Liang Xiaorou surrounded by several rich kids, looking me over with an air of schadenfreude.

Several people came forward and surrounded me, deliberately making things difficult for me.

"Don't you know we're selecting talent-based live streamers? Look at your own qualifications, are you even qualified?"

I tried my best to suppress my emotions, as if I hadn't heard what they said.

Seeing my reaction, the rich kids became even more interested and burst into laughter.

All sorts of offensive remarks came out one after another.

"If you're in it for the money, sing a song and dance for us here, and you name your price."

"The once high and mighty Miss Gu is now showing her face in public for money. This is quite a novel thing in Tongcheng."

"What Miss Gu? Her father is in debt to loan sharks and is a deadbeat. He's even threatening to jump off a building."

They derive immense satisfaction from humiliating me.

One of them pulled a wad of bills from his pocket and shoved it into my chest, saying disdainfully, "Take this money and get out of here. It's only worth this much; it doesn't deserve the bonuses at all."

I was still hesitant at first, but after hearing their mockery, my mind gradually became more determined.

The more they look down on me, the more I want to prove myself.

My tone was slightly provocative, deliberately trying to provoke Liang Xiaorou.

"Liang Xiaorou, you stopped me, are you afraid I'll get first place?"

As expected, Liang Xiaorou's face immediately darkened upon hearing this. She scoffed, "You? Don't you know your own limitations? You don't deserve an award?"

"Whether I am qualified or not is not up to you to decide. If you don't dare to let me sign up, just say so."

As expected, Liang Xiaorou couldn't resist my teasing and let me register smoothly.

After returning to the company, I started learning to dance.

After finishing my live stream during the day, I would take some time to learn the basic moves, and in the evening I would specifically go to Little Sweetie's place for extra practice.

I'm not afraid of hard work as long as I can achieve my goal.

Just as I was getting into the swing of things, I felt like there was a hostile gaze watching me from behind.

I instinctively turned around and saw that there was indeed someone standing at the door.

It's Jiang Yichen.

What is he planning to do now?

I ignored him and continued practicing my moves.

Jiang Yichen became wary and slowly walked over.

"You're not a talent show host, so why are you suddenly starting to work hard at dancing?"

Not wanting him to know my true purpose, I made up a random excuse.

"I want to gain more followers. Only by learning more can I continuously attract new followers."

But he didn't believe me. He looked me up and down and asked, "You're not going to participate in the Tongcheng broadcasting competition, are you?"

My dancing froze for a moment, but I quickly recovered and deliberately concealed the truth, saying, "What competition? I don't know."
