Chapter 127: Slap Slap~ Face-Slapping~

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Slap Slap~ Face-Slapping~

Celestial Paradise Holiday Hotel.

Su Yunzhou held his phone, occasionally clicking his tongue and nodding as he watched Xia Wanqing on the livestream. She seemed to have taken on a completely different persona.

"My wife is quite adaptable!" he thought.

At the same time, his doubts from that morning vanished into thin air.

Tong’s judgment was as sharp as ever.

His wife was even smarter than he had imagined. Using the lottery ticket to build momentum would greatly benefit both the company’s brand and the employees’ morale.

At this moment, the number of viewers in the livestream was steadily climbing, and the comments were scrolling frantically across the screen.

"Awesome!"

"Is the streamer too scared to go in? She’s been standing at the door for minutes now."

"Exactly 3 minutes and 56 seconds!"

"Bro, you’re a legend for timing that!"

Su Yunzhou had a sudden flash of inspiration. He came up with a little idea to fan the flames, but considering his shrinking wallet, he scaled it down a few notches. Once he saw Xia Wanqing reply to the chat, he acted.

A Leaf-like Boat commented: "Aside from her looks being okay, this streamer’s whole ’live lottery claiming’ thing is obviously just a cheap gimmick!"

Xia Wanqing smiled brightly when she saw the username. It was a breathtakingly beautiful smile.

Many random viewers instantly became fans.

She parted her red lips and said, "Whether it’s a gimmick or not, you’ll find out very soon!"

A Leaf-like Boat commented: "Heh! Do you dare to make a bet, beautiful streamer?"

"Bet on what?"

"If you can actually claim the ten-million-dollar grand prize, I’ll immediately send you 99 ’One in a Million’ gifts!

"If you can’t claim it, you have to hand out cash red envelopes to the bros in the chat and do the Little Bear Dance!

"Do you dare?" A Leaf-like Boat challenged.

When this message appeared, the streamer’s expression shifted slightly. She looked conflicted and hesitant.

Seeing her hesitation, many viewers who loved drama immediately jumped in.

"@A Leaf-like Boat, why are you talking about money with a goddess! Just make her do all the hot dances, and that’ll be enough."

"A ’One in a Million’ gift is equivalent to 1,001 RMB! Ninety-nine of them is almost 100,000 bucks! Brother Boat, why don’t you come to my livestream instead? I can perform a little unspeakable secret for you."

"Goddess! I support you! Once you claim the prize, slap him right in the face!"

"Uh... actually... I kind of want to be slapped by the goddess too..."

"Want it +1"

"..."

Xia Wanqing looked at the eye-searing comments and figured it was about time.

"Hmph.

"I even dared to use my company’s name for this, so why wouldn’t I dare to accept your challenge?

"I hope you keep your word later, my dear viewer," she said.

A Leaf-like Boat commented: "It’s just 100,000 bucks! No big deal! Just get ready to do your Little Bear Dance!"

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting to see who would be the one getting a metaphorical slap in the face, a neatly dressed middle-aged man appeared on the livestream.

"Good afternoon, netizens. I am Xu from the Lottery Management Center. I am in charge of guiding the winner through the entire prize-claiming process.

"Next, I will take everyone inside our center..." he announced.

His introduction was like pouring oil on a fire. This whole setup was starting to look way too authentic.

Many viewers started tagging A Leaf-like Boat.

"Bro! Your slap in the face came way too fast!"

"I’m dying of laughter!"

"This guy folded the second he popped up!"

"Where did he go? Did he run away?"

"It’s just 100,000 bucks! Why would I run?

"What if this Xu guy is also a paid actor?" A Leaf-like Boat replied.

Viewers chimed in: "I think you’re just as stubborn as a mule!"

"I love watching these epic show-off fails!"

"Get hyped, boys!"

Thanks to Su Yunzhou’s cheeky manipulation, the Ze Feng Investment Little Blue Book livestream hit 80,000 concurrent viewers, aided by official platform traffic routing. And they had only been live for fifty minutes.

The camera followed Xia Wanqing and Xu into the lottery center. First, Xu took them through security and registration, then led Xia Wanqing into the staff-only work area.

What appeared on screen was a clean, spacious hall where staff members were bustling about in an orderly manner.

Although Xu was a bit nervous, he still earnestly introduced the lottery center. This made many viewers realize a serious point.

"Why do I feel like this is actually real?"

"Right?! At first, I thought it was a scripted skit, but now the streamer is literally walking around inside the lottery center!"

"Holy crap! Based on my experience with winning the lottery, next she should be heading to the redemption department to verify her ID, bank card, and all that."

"To the guy above, how do you know the process so well?"

"I’ve been preparing for this day for nearly ten years! Alas..."

"It’s okay! Dreams will become reality eventually!"

The subsequent scenes played out exactly as that viewer had predicted. Xu guided the winner, Xia Wanqing, through a series of complex procedures. Of course, whenever they reached a step containing confidential information, the camera was turned away.

Seeing the event progress to this stage, the viewers suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy! They often scrolled past news online about someone winning a massive jackpot, usually accompanied by a photo of the winner wearing a cartoon mask. However, those stories always felt somewhat surreal and distant.

But now, with this entire process being livestreamed, a raging fire of desire was ignited in the hearts of the masses and regular lottery players. It was easy to imagine that lottery sales would definitely hit new highs in the coming period.

Back in the livestream, after the staff finished verifying Xia Wanqing’s information, Xu asked politely, "You can hand the lottery ticket over to me now!"

"Okay!"

A beautiful smile curved onto Xia Wanqing’s lips. Then, she casually pulled a folded lottery ticket out from behind her phone case.

Xu stared blankly as he took the ticket. His lips twitched a few times, but he didn’t say a word.

The chat exploded again, filled entirely with shock.

"Holy shit! She’s treating it that casually?"

"I honestly thought she’d at least have a small safe or something!"

"But... she just slipped it behind her phone case! That’s ten million bucks!"

"..."

Looking at the viewers’ comments, Xia Wanqing inexplicably thought of a certain someone. Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she revealed a sweet smile. "This actually feels pretty good! No wonder he wanted to..." she thought.

With that thought in mind, Xia Wanqing pursed her lips and asked softly, "Hm? Is the viewer who wanted to send me 99 ’One in a Million’ gifts still here?"

"Hahaha!"

"Looks like our goddess holds a bit of a grudge!"

"@A Leaf-like Boat, don’t tell me your mom called you home for dinner?"

"Bro! Don’t chicken out! What’s 100,000 bucks anyway?"

Su Yunzhou let out a laugh as he watched the chat. He remained completely calm; he wasn’t bored enough to genuinely get angry at these random netizens. Moreover, he knew very well that Xia Wanqing was calling him out to continue their double act.

"I’ll send them! I accept my loss! It’s no big deal!

"Ze Feng Investment, right?

"I’ll come by in a few days to talk business with you face-to-face!" he typed out as A Leaf-like Boat.

Immediately following his messages, the screen was engulfed in gorgeous digital effects.

The first gift!

The second!

The third!

...

"Wow! Badass! He’s flexing so hard!"

"This bro bought my respect with cold hard cash!"

"Handsome! Stop sending gifts there and come to my channel! I’ll sing and dance XXX for you."

"Ze Feng Investment, right? I’m going to check them out tomorrow too!"

"What are you going to look at?"

"Do you even need to ask? The pretty girls, of course!"

"Thank you to A Leaf-like Boat for keeping your promise!

"Since this is my first livestream and everyone has been so supportive, I can’t leave you empty-handed.

"In a moment, I’ll be running ten rounds of giveaways in the channel..." she said, smiling radiantly.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the livestream reached a fever pitch. Although entering the giveaway required viewers to follow and subscribe, she was genuinely putting up real money.

Just then, a notification popped up at the top of Su Yunzhou’s phone screen.

[Hehe~ Thank you for the gifts, President Su!]

[I only said that earlier for the show’s effect. You’re not mad at me, are you, President Su?]
