Sanghai, Lujiazui.
Tomson Riviera.
In a luxurious and elegant living room, a middle-aged man with a square face sat upright on the sofa, staring at the flood of comments streaming across his tablet screen. His ears were slightly red.
Next to him, the young man known online as Mid Lane King, Lu Anhua, lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Old Lu, I told you, netizens are clever these days. They're not so easily fooled. See? You just got exposed."
"Who said I'm trying to fool them?"
The middle-aged man turned around to give his son a light smack, but the son dodged skillfully.
Lu Anhua weakly reminded, "Old Lu, you already held your 50th birthday party two months ago."
"Can't I hold it again?"
He gave Lu Anhua a fierce glare, then started explaining in the livestream chat.
Mid Lane King: "I just went to the bathroom, it's my son speaking."
Immediately, netizens replied in the livestream—
"Big boss is big boss, even going to the bathroom is lightning fast!"
"Real men gotta be fast!"
"Someone's overtaking upstairs, please show your license!"
"……"
The middle-aged man's face flushed red while Lu Anhua struggled to hold back laughter behind him.
"Kids these days really don't know how to respect elders!"
He sighed softly.
After a moment, he took out a custom black phone, snapped a photo of the colorful cobblestone in the livestream video, and casually sent it out.
Soon, a sharp ringtone shattered the calm.
"Hey, Old Lu, where did you just see that stone?" The other side sounded urgent.
"My son happened to see it on a Sunflower livestream platform. I'm not sure, so I sent it to you, Old Wang, for appraisal…"
"Old Lu, your son is really a lucky star! I've been into rare stones for decades, never handled a treasure like this before!"
"Listen to me, Old Lu, tell Anhua, no matter how much it costs, you have to get that stone for me! Once done, I'll personally give my nephew a 2-million yuan red envelope…"
Lu Anhua listened clearly beside him. After the call ended, he lowered his eyebrows and asked, "Old Lu, what now?"
"You young people handle it yourselves. I only have one requirement: no matter the cost, get that stone back!"
"Then… about the 2 to 3 million yuan price range you mentioned earlier…"
The middle-aged man's face reddened, "You brat, I told you, no expense spared! Can't you understand? Are you trying to drive me crazy so you can inherit the family fortune?"
Lu Anhua twitched his mouth, "Got it, got it! So if I'm short on money, I can just take it from the company fund?"
"Hmm… Also, don't tell your Uncle Wang about this. If he asks, just say the deal fell through, and the stone was sold to someone else! Understand?"
"Got it!"
Lu Anhua took his noteand walked out of the study, feeling a bit excited. As soon as he came out, he tipped twenty rockets…
Mid Lane King tipped twenty rockets!
"Whoa, whoa, it's starting again!"
"This style… feels like the big boss is back!"
Mid Lane King: "That's right, my dad went to the company, I'm back."
He added an emoji saying "Let's party together" to prove his identity.
Mid Lane King: "Has the stone deal been settled yet?"
Smoker Uncle: "The streamer said he's not selling anymore."
Mid Lane King: "Doesn't matter if he's not selling. Anyway, it's good to make one more friend."
Li Ran could tell from the reply that this person had not given up.
Sure enough, half a minute later, he received a private message from Mid Lane King.
"Brother, just name your price for the stone. Whatever it is, I want it!"
Li Ran: "Sorry, I really don't want to sell now!"
Mid Lane King: "My dad has terminal cancer, he doesn't have many years left. I really want to make him happy for his last journey."
Li Ran's mouth twitched violently. These rich second-generation kids are really something else.
He didn't want to respond and put the cobblestone away.
But soon, he received another private message.
"How about this, brother, I won't push anymore. Just one condition: if you ever decide to sell, contact me first, okay?"
"Alright…" Li Ran replied reluctantly.
He really feared what more ridiculous things this rich kid might say next…
Li Ran continued walking back. Passing by the rice fields, he stopped at the spot where he had just placed baited hooks and circled around.
Sure enough, a few old eels were caught, each at least half a meter long.
"Good luck, looks like there'll be meat to eat tonight!"
"666, streamer is amazing, I'm completely convinced!"
"The eels at the foot of this mountain are so big, looks like each is about 150 grams!"
"In our market, wild eels are usually 2.5-3kg per fish. If the streamer's eels are that big, the price could be twice as high!"
"These eels caught just now must weigh 1kg in total, that's over a hundred yuan already, right?"
"How much could be earned if collected tomorrow morning?"
Li Ran replied conservatively, "I only put out a few baited rods, probably about 5kg at most."
"So, that means at least 500 to 600 yuan could be earned overnight?"
"Whoa, earning money in the countryside is so easy?"
"No way, I'm heading to the countryside tomorrow to catch eels…"
Yukinoshita Is My Wife tipped ten rockets.
Yukinoshita Is My Wife: "I thought the streamer might fake it, but now I admit I lost. A bet's a bet, here are the promised rockets!"
"666, another big boss appears!"
"There are too many big bosses in this livestream, I'm numb already!"
"Me too, why do I feel no excitement even seeing ten rockets?"
"What exactly gave you all the courage to think rockets are just so-so?"
"Definitely not Liang Jingru (the singer who sang a song called 'Courage')…"
"Thinking carefully, compared to 2.5 million, ten rockets really isn't much."
"Whoa, case closed — the streamer is the real culprit!"
Li Ran: "……"
