So what if she's an ordinary girl? She still gets her older brother to fight for the top spot o

"I'm sorry, Yiqing, I don't know what advice I should give you. I think you should do it your own way."

"However, if it were me, if I hadn't met the big brother and my operations team hadn't given me this advice, I might have given it a try."

Xia Yiqing was genuinely surprised; she had thought that Zhang Xiaoyu, given her personality, would never take the initiative.

"You actually took the initiative? I thought you were the passive type, Xiaoyu."

Zhang Xiaoyu: "You're right, I'm really not a proactive person. But from what I understand, it's actually quite common for streamers to send private messages to big spenders."

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Even some big streamers will send private messages to big spenders. Thinking about it this way, I think doing this is just following the crowd."

"Besides, my brother's inbox is probably already full, so he won't miss one more. Just treat it as a check-in task. Once I've tried, I can tell myself that I've tried my best, and I can finally give up completely."

"It's a bit like buying lottery tickets. Brother, can you notice that my private messages are like winning the lottery? What if I win? Buying lottery tickets costs money, but at least my private messages are free."

However, upon closer inspection, there are some differences. Even though they are all private messages from streamers, the private messages of big streamers are more likely to be noticed because of their high profile and level.

Xia Yiqing's eyes widened slightly; for some reason, she felt that it made a lot of sense.

Xia Yiqing: "But if it were another streamer's big brother, wouldn't doing this be condemned? And a lot of people would criticize him."

Zhang Xiaoyu adjusted her posture. "You're right. Then we should only send private messages to those big spenders who aren't supporting the streamer. That way we won't get scolded, right?"

A very typical older brother immediately popped into her mind: Feng Huang.

Everyone acknowledges that he is the top dog on the entire platform, and no one would care if any streamer sent him a private message.

Ultimately, it all comes down to what our eldest brother thinks. There's very little we can do; they're the ones who make the decisions.

Xia Yiqing sighed softly: "I underestimated this industry. I only saw other people's success, but after trying it myself, I realized how difficult it is."

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say anything. Compared to her roommate's difficult mode, she was lucky to be on easy mode.

"Enough about me, has your older brother come back yet?"

Living together day and night, many things can't be hidden from each other, and Zhang Xiaoyu didn't intend to hide anything from her roommate.

Her roommates quickly found out that her live stream in the second week was a complete disaster.

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "No."

Xia Yiqing was puzzled, but she thought she had just heard Xiaoyu's broadcast was pretty good, so she thought it was her older brother coming back.

Zhang Xiaoyu: "However, one of my longtime fans' roommates happened to see him watching my live stream, so he came to watch me too. You can't imagine, his roommate is a rich second generation, and he gave me a lot of gifts tonight."

"Oh, there's another big brother. He's the kind of big brother who watches a lot of streamers. He watched me once or twice before, and today, maybe by chance, he came to watch me and sent a lot of gifts."

Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu's indifferent expression and hearing what she said, Xia Yiqing was speechless.

"So you actually had two big spenders during your live stream today! Didn't that mean you were doing really well? Get excited on your face! Don't you know that makes me want to flick your forehead?"

If Xia Yiqing hadn't listened to Zhang Xiaoyu, she would have really thought that Zhang Xiaoyu was still in a slump and would have wanted to encourage her again.

After all, she felt that Zhang Xiaoyu's starting point was really high. She met a very generous big brother right after she started broadcasting. Although she didn't appear for a week afterward, she was still much better than other streamers overall!

Maybe if we just held on a little longer, things would take a turn for the better, and sure enough, things are getting better again tonight!

Xia Yiqing really felt that people couldn't be compared. She must have felt sour and jealous, but she was a person who could distinguish right from wrong and could still get along with people normally.

Zhang Xiaoyu also felt that she seemed to have calmed down a bit, but that was normal.

"Because I was already excited. When I received the gifts during the live stream, I was very excited and happy. It took me a while to calm down."

"And actually, thinking about it now, there are still some concerns." A hint of worry appeared in Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes.

Xia Yiqing: ?

She wanted to shout, "Don't take your blessings for granted!"

"Then tell me, what are you still worried about?" She wanted to hear what troubles successful people could possibly have.

Zhang Xiaoyu was also happy to have someone to confide in, she said:

"It's the older brother that the long-time fan I told you about brought. Actually, that long-time fan is still a college student, and the older brother he brought is actually his roommate, who is also a college student..."

A male dormitory at H University.

Qin Zheng sat casually in a chair, surrounded by his roommates.

"This is terrifying! These female live streamers are all heartless and insane! They've amassed so many followers in just one night!"

Gou Fugui took the phone he had snatched from Li Yuanshan and clicked on the rankings of streamers such as Liu Qingdai, Nie Lingwei, and Yan Ruyu.

I glanced at the daily rankings and my eyes widened. Then I looked at the monthly rankings and my eyes almost popped out of my head. Finally, I looked at the overall rankings and I was almost scared to death!

"Let me see," another roommate, Guo Wanglong, chimed in. "Holy crap! This daily ranking is earned in just one day, right? Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands in a single day?! If I could earn that much in the future, I'd feel like I could fly to the moon!"

They knew before that these streamers earned a lot, but they only heard about it briefly. Today, it was because their two roommates were sending gifts like crazy that they took a second look.

"Let me see this 'little fish,' I really don't understand where her great charm comes from that makes both of us brothers so infatuated with her!"

Fan was scrimping and saving to buy her gifts, and Qin Zheng was even more extravagant; he used up all his own money and then borrowed more!

Li Yuanshan felt he wasn't obsessed. He looked at his roommates with a hint of helplessness: "I just watch her live streams when I have free time. You guys are making it sound like I'm addicted to the internet."

Gou Fugui slapped his thigh: "She's a terrifying female streamer too! Her rankings are absolutely frightening!"

"The top spender is called 'Free Wind,' and they've spent over 52!"

"Second on the list, invincible, brother, is that you?" Gou Fugui looked at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng frowned as he looked at the top of the list, feeling annoyed; he was just a little short.

"49.8! Bro, I know you're rich, but to spend that much on a female streamer in one night! It breaks my heart!"

Are these female livestreamers using witchcraft? That's terrifying!

"This is the daily ranking; I received so many gifts in just one day!"

Li Yuanshan knew Qin Zheng had given her quite a few gifts, but she only found out the exact number now. Xiaoyu must be quite happy, right? Her broadcasts this week haven't been very good; today's earnings are equivalent to a week's worth of hard work.

Qin Zheng finally looked up from his phone and asked, "Is it a lot?"

Gou Fugui glared: "Isn't this a lot? Brother, you've fallen so low that you have to borrow money!"

This was the first time he'd ever seen his rich, second-generation roommate borrow money! At least the fan purchase was still within budget.

Seeing their shock, Qin Zheng smiled and, unusually patiently, explained:

"Do you really think I'm so poor that I need to borrow money? I just don't have any cash on hand right now, it doesn't mean I don't have any money."

He owns numerous assets entirely under his own name: villas and commercial properties in prime locations, both domestically and internationally. Because of his passion for racing, he owns several limited-edition supercars, the cheapest of which is worth over thirty million yuan.

These are not the most valuable things. The most valuable thing is the group shares given to him by his elders, which bring in tens of millions in profit dividends every year.

These are all high-quality assets, with high prices but limited market demand, and the ability to be quickly converted into cash.

His brother even owns a private jet and a private yacht. Of course, he could have what his brother has too, but not now. After all, he's still a university student, and his elders would think it's too extravagant for him to have all that now.

The reason Qin Zheng had to borrow money was simply because the timing was too perfect.

The PK only lasts a few minutes, and even the best assets can't be monetized that quickly.

A phone call or a single sentence is the fastest way to transfer money, so borrowing money is nothing to him; in fact, it's an opportunity for the person receiving the loan to curry favor with him.

He didn't borrow much, just two million. People in his circle didn't have much cash flow; they mostly had other assets.

But I still missed it in the end, damn it!

Qin Zheng didn't even need to borrow the money; he spent nearly 50 in one night, enough for any streamer to flatter and fawn over him.

But he still went to borrow it, for no other reason than that it was her, so he did it on a whim.
