Chapter 142 You Who Are Out of Reach
[Don't like cilantro: Too embarrassed to ask for it? Then give it back to me.]
Xiao Jiu: "No way, it's already in my pocket, how can it be taken out again? You can't do that."
The girl on the screen clutched her pocket tightly, as if she had actually put the money in it; she looked playful and adorable.
[Don't like cilantro: Okay, okay, you miser! You're not really broke, so why are you being so greedy?]
[Doraemon: That's right, that's right! With all those big brothers and sisters feeding you so much every day, how come you still look so stingy, little sister?]
[Ze Yi: Like a little Pixiu, only taking in and never giving out]
[Not seeing you: Hahaha, that's a really vivid description.]
Xiao Jiu: "I'm not a Pixiu! Pixiu aren't as cute as me!"
She's a purebred fox, not the same breed as the Pixiu. Besides, the Pixiu is an auspicious beast, while the nine-tailed fox is a divine beast. They're not even the same breed and can't be compared. Moreover, she thinks she's much cuter than the Pixiu. She's only ever encountered one Pixiu in her life, and that Pixiu was particularly fierce and liked to scare her.
[Mu Chen: Yes, yes, you're the cutest]
[Ze Yi: Who can be as cute as you?]
Doraemon: I agree that my little sister is the cutest.
[Doraemon: By the way, little sister, did you receive the thing I sent you?]
Doraemon's last adventure trick sent a package to Xiao Jiu, who then wore it during a live stream. Xiao Jiu knew without a doubt that it was an outfit, and she didn't ask any further questions.
Xiao Jiu: "I had someone pick it up for me. I'm at school right now. The package arrived today, so I asked Chu Chu's bodyguard to pick it up for me."
[Doraemon: Okay, but I think you should find an assistant to help you with things in life.]
Xiao Jiu had the same thought, but given her status, she was afraid that something unexpected might happen one day. It was fine when no one else was around, but when someone else was with her, she was afraid that they might see something.
Xiao Jiu: "I don't really like people getting too close to me. I'll think about it."
Actually, the guild initially planned to have Yuzu, the assistant they gave Xiao Jiu, work for them, like in real life, to help Xiao Jiu with some things, but Xiao Jiu refused.
First, she needs to go to school and spend a lot of time there. Second, she's not human, so she's somewhat wary of other people and finds it hard to accept letting a stranger into her private space.
She simply refused. The assistant's main job now is to reply instantly when Xiao Jiu contacts her, solve any problems promptly, and provide whatever is needed immediately. She doesn't need to do anything else. Even in the live stream, Xiao Jiu tells her that she can come whenever she wants, or not come if she doesn't want to.
Seeing Xiao Jiu's request, the guild simply assigned another streamer role to the assistant Youzi, making it less easy for her to earn money. After all, the guild isn't a charity, and what boss wants to see employees get paid without doing much work?
Even if you do the work, sometimes the boss still feels that you haven't done enough and that you're being paid too much. They'll always try to find ways to deduct some from your salary so they can feel more at ease.
Since Zeyi returned, the guild has stopped taking a cut of Xiao Jiu's earnings. Why? Because Zeyi had his subordinates acquire the guild. Even after realizing his own feelings, Zeyi still felt it was safer to keep the girl he liked under his control.
In addition, the platform also belongs to him. Basically, all the money that the big spenders swipe goes to Xiao Jiu, and the platform doesn't take a cut. Of course, the part that isn't taken goes into his private account, after all, a company is a company, and an individual is an individual.
[Mu Chen: If you don't like her taking care of you personally, you can have her stay nearby and only appear when needed.]
[Falling Star: Do you need it? I can provide it to you.]
[Unseen Jun: Dude, aren't you standing out a bit too much? You came later, move back a bit, we can provide those.]
[Mu Chen: You came later too, you should move to the back as well]
[I won't see you: No way, Jiu Jiu, look at me, I can provide you with something more professional than them]
Wen Qiyu owns the largest security company, and their services are far more professional than those offered by others.
Xiao Jiu: "No, forget it, I won't consider it anymore. I don't need that. I can do it myself."
Xiao Jiu couldn't treat everyone equally, so she simply refused them all. The things they offered made her uncomfortable; she worried that if something happened, her older brothers would find out everything about her. She didn't want them.
Even if those people don't report their situation to them, they don't need those things. They can fight on their own, cook by themselves and eat out, and clean by themselves using cleaning techniques. They can clean much better than those people and it's much easier for them.
Fox seems to have a strong sense of territory. The dormitory is shared by everyone, but her own place is hers alone. She only allows people she approves to enter.
Mu Chen: Okay.
[Falling Star: If you don't like it, then forget it]
[You're Not Here: Feel free to contact me if you need anything]
Xiao Jiu: "I'll talk about it when I need it. I don't need it right now."
Xiao Jiu: "It's getting late, I'll sing a song and then end the broadcast."
"Wow, that fast?"
[It feels like the show just started, and it's already ending?]
No, I can't bear to leave my sister!
Xiao Jiu: "Relax, relax, I'll still broadcast tomorrow if I'm free. It's not like you won't see me tomorrow."
That did offer some comfort.
Tomorrow is tomorrow, we haven't had enough of today yet!
[I don't want my sister to stop streaming]
【Seriously, are your streamers really this capricious?】
Xiao Jiu: "It's alright. Today's main event was the regional competition, and I've definitely passed the preliminary round. Now I'll wait for the qualifying rounds and stuff."
Xiao Jiu: "Alright, alright, I'll sing you a song. It's one of my favorite songs lately, and I hope you like it too."
If one day I were to go on a wandering
It's not because I'm tired of my hometown.
It's not that the winters here are unbearable.
Rather, it's that I finally learned your direction.
If one day I no longer feel sorrow
It's not because of my sudden growth.
One day someone handed me a piece of candy
But I finally came to your side.
I used to believe
There is a warm-hearted person in this world
Only for my joys and sorrows
It shielded me from the sharp edges of humanity.
To find you
......"
[So soothing, I screen-recorded it, perfect for listening to before bed.]
[It sounds so good, so beautiful, it's heavenly!]
The first time I heard this song, I was just a little kid.
I really love this song; it used to be on repeat for me.
