Chapter 79: I’m going to be a broadcaster
Translated by me, edited by drpetro.
Today was the day DouDou got paid. This month’s wages was much more than all of her other paychecks combined.
Although she had only been in the streaming community for so long, due to Ye Qing’s historical donation amounts, it brought her tons of new viewers, and with that came even more donations.
DouDou never wanted the paycheck, hence when she got paid, she headed to a nearby Hermes store, and bought an already scouted male business bag.
As for the rest of the money, it was left for the next time with a much more expensive gift.
“Inviting me for dinner?” Ye Qing had nothing planned tonight, but her asking him out was definitely to thank him for his massive support.
“En……” DouDou’s voice suddenly became very quiet, she felt that she was too offensive, as someone like Ye Qing definitely already had plans.
“So, where then?” Having no plans for the night, Ye Qing naturally wouldn’t reject a free meal on a platter delivered to him.
“Are you ok with the Clear Moon Floor on Lake Liushan Road? The fish there’s really good.”
“Sure!” Ye Qing took a look at the time: “I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Having agreed on a time, Ye Qing first wronged the master artisan by having him return to the Monster Factory.
Then headed to the gas station near the park. He used to get all the gas for the van there, at least they didn’t try to cheat you on the quality of the gas.
The development area of the park was super spacious, 6 lanes on either side. But Ye Qing only lowered the windows to feel the comfort of the wind. Even when a couple Audi and Honda overtook him, Ye Qing was still going at his own pace.
A sudden burst of engine revving roared in from behind; a black Porsche Cayenne.
The driver was definitely someone who knew his stuff, coming right up to the Lagonda, then using the same speed to non stop rev the engine to continually taunt him.
The meaning was quite clear: let’s have a race.
But Ye Qing drove the car, at his own pace, completely ignoring the other car.
Having driven the Lagonda into the gas station, then following his memory, parked next to the 98 pump. Opening the gas tank covering, Ye Qing asked the nearby lady: “Miss, full tank.”
The lady had her hands on the gas gun, yet didn’t move at all, and even strangely stared at Ye Qing: “This Mondeo of yours can handle at most 95, you sure you want 98?”
Ye Qing’s originally pleased attitude, was almost completely shredded into pieces by this dimwit of a miss.
“Miss, this is an Aston Martin……”
“Ahhh!” This missy’s face immediately turned red, and non stoppingly apologized to Ye Qing, saying she was able to tell from the logo of the car at all, no wonder it appears so much more upscale than the Mondeo, and its engines sound so much like a Farreri.
“No problem no problem. The front end of a Mondeo really does look the same.” Ye Qing happily handed over a couple hundred yuan bills to her.
When Ye Qing arrived at the Clear Moon Floor, he specifically looked for the innermost parking spot.
This was a carbon fiber casing alright? A random dent and it needed to be completely replaced, it wasn’t even possible to fill it in or use other normal methods to fix.
The Clear Moon Floor was right on the edge of Lake Liushan, well known for its scenery and the Yangtze threes. Of course, Ye Qing hadn’t been here before.
When Ye Qing entered the lobby of the Clear Moon Floor, what appeared in his eyes were the rows of taken seats next to the lake. What’s more was that every table was filled with a pair of boy and girl.
Just when he was going to call DouDou, he accidentally found a standing girl, quite similar to DouDou, that was having a fight with a sitting male. Seeing this, Ye Qing doubtedly walked over.
“How can you be like this! I was clearly here first, all I did was go to the bathroom for a second, yet you still steal my seat.” DouDou today wore a knee long blue dress, with a double strapped leather bag, and attracted the stealthy attention of many males in the restaurant.
While Ye Qing was walking towards them full of confidence, DouDou somewhat excitingly waved at him.
“What’s going on?” Ye Qing checked out the seated pair, clearly young, but the male was definitely not someone kind and courteous.
“He took our spot!” DouDou complained: “This restaurant is always packed, and doesn’t even allow for bookings on the first floor. I came over early to reserve a spot for us, and had the waiters look over it for me when I went to the bathroom. Yet when I came back, the waiters disappeared and the seat was taken by these assholes.
“Seeing me Little Fei here, the waiters naturally can only be turtles.” The sitting male laughed: “Stop wasting your efforts, we’re not gonna move, so go find another table.”
Ye Qing took a quick look around and actually found several waiters and waitresses hiding themselves, not even daring to look their way.
Ye Qing, not paying them any mind, said to DouDou: “Forget it. Why don’t we go find another place to eat. When I came here, I found a seafood BBQ place with a patio, and it’s also pretty packed.”
“Sure!” DouDou had nothing against it, it was just that this male here ruined her entire mood.
Lake Liushan was situated in a great spot, not too far from Caiyi Street, and preserved many ancient buildings by the lake side, and was also one of Zhongyun’s scenic spots. Being able to open and keep open a BBQ place with an open patio, definitely meant that there was good food.
Finding a clean spot to sit on the patio, Ye Qing jokingly asked DouDou, why she wasn’t streaming tonight.
DouDou was very nervous and somewhat ill at ease, moreover Ye Qing held too high of a spot in her heart.
“Normally it’s only 3 times a week, but now that it’s summer break I can squeeze some extra time into it. How can I stream today when I invited you out? If I actually did, the viewers would completely ruin everything.” DouDou made a silly face, pulled out a brown red gift case and gave it to Ye Qing.
“Thank you Big brother Ye for your donations. Now, as soon as I turn on the stream, there’s always a million people watching.”
The case had a small person holding onto a carriage. Under the deal lighting, Ye Qing wasn’t able to make clear of the English letters underneath. Inside the case was a simple black leather bag, squarely shaped, very suitable to be a man’s business bag.
On top of the leather was 2 H rings, which Ye Qing was easily able to recognize. Wasn’t this the logo for Hermes?
Last time when he was suit shopping, Ye Qing didn’t dare to buy Hermes products due to their price, but who would’ve thought that DouDou would gift him a Hermes’s leather bag.
The last time he received a gift from a girl, was a business card from his next seat neighbor during elementary school graduation.
“Such a beautiful gift, but it’s too much.” Ye Qing closed the case, and happily accepted it.
Last time all the donations were all purely to thank DouDou, by that logic he shouldn’t be accepting this at all.
But now that DouDou had already bought it, if rejected, then she can’t even use it. Moreover, there was a no return policy in place for Hermes’s products; at most it would only be a switch.
Just when Ye Qing was going to confess the truth to her, DouDou seeing Ye Qing accept the gift embarrassingly said: “Big brother Ye, you really didn’t have to be like this. It’s an honor to be your friend……”
DouDou didn’t have the courage to finish the rest of the sentence. But Ye Qing had already guessed what she wanted to say. When he was donating, he clearly saw all the viewers rioting with how skilled he was at chasing after girls, even able to move the men.
Very clearly, DouDou has misunderstood him.
Errr ~
It’s better to not say it, otherwise DouDou would completely lose all her face.
Ye Qing quickly remembered his little nephew mentioning that DouDou went to Zhongyun’s University of Broadcasting and Television, so he swiftly avoided this awkward topic and asked her what grade she was in, what was her specialty, and the likes.
“I’ll be in my 4th year in September, and studying news and broadcasting.” Hearing a switch of topic, DouDou was super happy: “I was very fortunate, last month Zhongyun broadcasting station came looking to hire 4th years, I was specifically named for a co-op position. They said that they saw my gourmet show online, and found my great talent in broadcasting.”
“When we’ve reached 4th year, we’ve pretty much learned everything that was needed. The main goal now is to earn more experience. Next week I’ll be starting my co-op position at Zhongyun broadcasting station first with being the broadcaster of the radio show [News by your ears].
