The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 188: Chapter 189: Selling Salt Again
 

Liu Cheng took three deep breaths on the spot, feeling it wasn’t enough, and then took a few more breaths.

“Smack!”

“What’s the dilly-dallying about!”

Mr. Liu slapped Liu Cheng’s back hard, causing him to cough violently, but he didn’t mind.

Liu Cheng looked up, his eyes brimming with suppressed excitement, as he opened the email under the watchful eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Liu.

“Hello, I am Xiao He from Little River Live, and I sincerely invite you to become a manager of Little River Live. You can exclusively claim the content of the live stream each day. If you are interested, please reply.”

“Mom—Mom—Manager! Get food!”

“Quick, reply! Agree, agree!” Mrs. Liu reacted quickly, seizing the opportunity, as it won’t come again.

“Right, right! Hurry!” Mr. Liu, excited, grabbed Mrs. Liu’s hand, and the two of them watched Liu Cheng reply to the message. All three of them confirmed it was correct after reading it over once.

“Send!”

“Send!”

“Send!”

Three voices, in unison.

“Whoosh—” The message was sent.

Liu Cheng: “So thrilling!”

Mr. Liu: “Hahaha! We’ll have food now!”

Mrs. Liu: “That’s great, but we still have to grab more; one serving isn’t enough.”

“Wife, you’re right.”

The three of them stood there, unmoving, waiting together for the reply.

“Ding-dong—”

It arrived.

Liu Cheng opened the message as fast as lightning and slapped his thigh vigorously.

“Done!”

“Mr. Xiao He, let me enter the live room, change my status immediately.”

“What are we waiting for!”

“Quick, quick!”

The family was excited all the way until Liu Cheng entered the live room and his status was actually changed.

Mrs. Liu checked the time, there were five minutes left until the live stream. She cleared her throat, which had become a bit dry from nervousness.

“Cough cough… let’s have a two-minute meeting.”

With that sentence, Liu Cheng and Mr. Liu immediately sat upright, the family hierarchy clear as day.

“Liu Cheng, you must take this job as a live stream manager very seriously, you must be meticulous and sincere, not letting down the culinary live streams of Little River.”

“Your mom is right, work hard.”

“I will definitely seize this opportunity, so our family can continually enjoy the meals from Little River Live,” Liu Cheng didn’t think his mom was exaggerating at all and seriously promised, almost wishing he could write an oath of employment.

“Good!”

“You go to work, and your dad and I will watch the live stream to see if we can grab another serving.”

The family of three opened the live stream room in advance.

Liu Cheng even got online first to familiarize himself with the role of a manager and see what he could do.

On the other side, Fu Yunhe wasn’t too concerned; he just gave Zhang Hui an address, telling her to send a portion to Liu Cheng’s address every time they shipped.

Zhang Hui took note seriously and acknowledged it.

Still at seven o’clock, the live stream started.

“Hello everyone, I am Xiao He.”

“Today, I will be making fried eggplant boxes.”

“Before we start, there are three announcements to share with everyone. First, our live room has a permanent manager now. He’s also Little River Live and Jiujia Fourth Shop’s first customer. I want to thank him for his unwavering support.”

[Oh my gosh! That person is so lucky!]

“A Day of Envy and Jealousy.”

“Doesn’t anyone think Mr. Xiao He is so warm-hearted?”

“I’m thinking, the moderator must be moved to tears!”

“Already cried and fainted.”

As soon as the words “cried and fainted” appeared, everyone saw the moderator’s prominent tag and burst into laughter below.

At that moment, Liu Cheng was truly touched. He had not expected Mr. Xiao He to actually thank him specifically.

He felt a deep sense of recognition and trust, as if he would die for those who appreciate him.

Fu Yunhe paused for a while to let the message sink in, then continued,

“The second piece of news, as some of you may already know, is that Little River Live has signed a partnership agreement with Youyu Live Streaming Company. They are now partners in battle.”

“Saw it! President Yu personally took charge!”

“I guess President Yu must be a loyal fan of Mr. Xiao He.”

“Definitely, President Yu even admitted it himself.”

“It’s different, a lot of people just say polite words, but President Yu’s words seemed heartfelt.”

“He did.”

“How do you know, upstairs? Are you a secret account of President Yu?”

Yu Zeming, watching the live stream, nodded emphatically. Indeed, it was a secret account.

After about a minute or two, Fu Yunhe spoke again,

“The third piece of news is that Little River Live has signed a cooperation agreement with Interstellar Culinary University. The upcoming live stream content will officially become part of the university’s teaching curriculum.”

“Throw confetti! Throw confetti! Finally received this news.”

“I am a student at the Food University; even after our president told us, we didn’t believe it!”

“Exactly! So we’ve been waiting for Mr. Xiao He’s live stream to confirm it.”

“Ha Ha Ha Ha! I think the president of the Food University must have fainted in the bathroom.”

“Suddenly I feel like I’m not watching a live stream, but attending a class.”

“Exactly! I can tell my mom that I’m taking classes with students from the Food University.”

The comments continued, and the Food University students who were watching the live stream suddenly flooded the comments section, reporting their own classes.

After announcing the three pieces of news, Fu Yunhe began making stuffed eggplant.

When the live stream began, the comment section quietened down significantly.

Now, those learning from Little River Live in front of the screen were not only people from the Food University but also many restaurant owners and various family members responsible for cooking.

Restaurant owners thought about enhancing their menu choices, knowing the practice required was worth it.

People who cooked wanted to add new dishes to their family’s menu, as everyone loves tasty food.

There was also a new resident in the small wooden house, who watched Fu Yunhe’s live stream closely, trying her best to learn how to cook. During the day, she would continue practicing in the kitchen, preparing for the first fire at her home in a few days.

Fu Yunhe, with a voice as clear as the moon, methodically explained every step in the cooking process.

However, today’s small kitchen had two different faces—Ji Sisi and Ji Doudou joined, while Nian Shutong and Ha Ha were absent.

At this moment, Nian Shutong was measuring salt to prepare it for another sale to the Yan Family.

And Ha Ha wouldn’t miss a chance like this.

Nian Shutong had already completed email negotiations with the Yan Family, who were just waiting for her to give a figure so they could pay.

“Boss, a total of fifteen hundred taels of fine salt.”

“Okay, let me calculate.”

“Three million Star Coins.”

Rubble, watching the live stream, reported the figure without turning around.

Nian Shutong shrugged, opened her Light Computer, and said, “Rubble says three million, so it must be right.”

She conveyed the amount to the Yan Family, waiting for them to transfer the money so she could ship the goods using the Black Hole Transmitter.

To date, apart from a name signed under a contract using spiritual power, the Yan Family knew nothing else about Nian Shutong and Fu Yunhe.

And since Fu Yunhe had encrypted his spiritual power, making it untraceable, Nian Shutong’s identity as Blue Star Lord could remain a secret for a while longer.
