Chapter 378 - 221: Holy Shit, You Can Do That?
Although Chen Jincheng was surprised, he still expressed his gratitude upon seeing the Carnival gift. "Thank you for the Carnival, Old Xue. Welcome to my stream. I really like your song, Serious Rain."
It was truly a surprise that this person would come to his stream, let alone send a gift.
Besides, compared to Master Yu, this guy was a pretty good person.
Most importantly, he had won over a lot of people during the Mao Mao incident. That night, his talent had carried him through, even though he was later hammered by Penguin and almost had his career ruined.
But the fact that even Penguin couldn’t take him down was a testament to his strong character.
His so-called ex-girlfriend who attacked him was actually full of questionable points herself.
Most importantly, he wasn’t like Master Yu, who put on airs and acted superior. He actually enjoyed hanging out with online influencers and was very well-liked.
The viewers in the stream also noticed the gift was from Xue Qian.
And they were truly surprised.
To think such a huge star would actually show up. Compared to Master Yu, this guy was a real singer with actual hits.
As for that supposed "eternal god of the Mandopop scene," you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who could name a single one of his songs. But Old Xue’s songs? You heard them all the time at karaoke. Most of the viewers had probably even sung them before.
Chen Jincheng’s die-hard fans immediately showed their support, flooding the bullet comments with welcome messages:
"Welcome, Old Xue, to Cheng’s stream!"
"Welcome, Old Xue, to Cheng’s stream!"
"Welcome, Old Xue, to Cheng’s stream!"
...
The screen was a dense wall of these comments, making for an impressive display.
「Shanghai.」
In the lobby of a residential building, Xue Qian watched the dense wall of bullet comments and said to his good buddy Zhu Zhen in surprise, "I didn’t realize Chen Jincheng’s fanbase was so dedicated. It looks like we really need to manage our Tiao Yin fan accounts better."
Zhu Zhen chuckled and said, "Count me out. With my level of fame, no one pays me any mind. But by doing this, you’re openly supporting Chen Jincheng. You’re already not on good terms with that Mage. Aren’t you afraid of offending him even more?"
Xue Qian shook his head. "We were never on the same path to begin with. I’m actually more curious about the quality of Chen Jincheng’s new song. I was really impressed by Can’t Help Falling in Love. I can write love songs, but I could never write that kind of sweet love song."
"That’s true. Can’t Help Falling in Love is a great song, indeed." Zhu Zhen nodded in agreement.
In contrast to the harmony on Xue Qian’s side, Master Yu’s face turned grim as he saw the screen fill with "Welcome, Old Xue, to Cheng’s stream!" "That guy just loves to oppose me. During the Mao Mao affair, everyone was just following the script Penguin gave us. But he stabbed me in the back, making me his backdrop for so long."
The assistant reminded him, "Boss, Xue Qian also gifted Chen Jincheng. It means he’s probably optimistic about his new song."
Master Yu knew that, of course, but he was still fuming. "I refuse to believe Chen Jincheng can crank out another smash hit so quickly. I don’t believe the same thing can happen twice."
...The assistant looked at her boss’s furious expression and couldn’t say anything more.
But the bad feeling in her gut was getting stronger and stronger.
’Don’t tell me the Mao Mao incident is going to happen all over again.’
’In that case, the boss is going to be in a really awkward position.’
In Chen Jincheng’s stream, Xue Qian’s one Carnival seemed to have set off a wave of gifts, as one donation after another scrolled across the bullet comments.
"Thank you, Young Master Feng, for the Carnival... Thank you, Unending Love, for the Carnival... Thanks..." After thanking Xue Qian, Chen Jincheng had intended to chat and share some jokes with his audience, but seeing the deluge of gifts that followed, he realized he had no time. He could only focus on thanking people for their donations.
Whether they were old fans or new, many were showing their support, tossing out one Carnival after another.
A single Carnival was 3,000 yuan. In a short amount of time, he had already received over a hundred thousand yuan in gifts.
Suddenly, he saw a shower of Carnivals. The notifications on screen jumped continuously, culminating in a grand total of 100 Carnivals.
This shower of Carnivals sent the entire stream into an uproar.
"Thank you, Sister Hehe, for the 100 Carnivals..." Chen Jincheng began to say his thanks, but he felt a little awkward when he saw the sender’s name.
It was that rich lady again.
Damn it, this was the one who had offered to be his sugar mommy the last time she showed up.
Some of the old-timers in the stream remembered her and immediately began to cause a commotion:
"Holy crap, it’s the sugar mommy Sister Hehe again!"
"Haha, Sister Hehe is back to ’sponsor’ Cheng again."
"Sister Hehe is determined to become Mrs. Cheng!"
"I messaged Sister Hehe privately before, telling her I’m just as handsome as Cheng and that I’m available too. She just replied with ’Get lost.’"
"Sister Hehe, what do I lack compared to Cheng? Let him go and come for me!"
...
As Chen Jincheng watched his old fans raising a ruckus, Sister Hehe requested to join the stream again.
She had just donated 100 Carnivals, so of course he had to accept the request.
The moment they connected, Sister Hehe’s voice came through. "Chen Jincheng, last time you said you were allergic to relationships. You said that as soon as you get together with a girl, you start to feel sick all over and have trouble breathing, as if you’re about to suffocate. That it could be fatal. Is that true?"
...Chen Jincheng was instantly embarrassed.
’She isn’t going to offer to be my sugar mommy again, is she?’
Being targeted by a rich lady like this felt really awkward. He really wanted to say, ’Ma’am, I like younger women. I’m not interested in being a kept man.’
