Chapter 50 Connecting with Mumu

Page (1/3)

For Su Chen, the viewers in the livestream room naturally welcomed this with delight, their hearts brimming with joy. After all, it was a rare opportunity to get a glimpse into Ai Wei's private life, and they enthusiastically showed their full support with both hands raised. However, upon hearing this, Ai Wei felt a bit flustered inside. Was Su Chen planning to confront me right here on livestream in front of everyone? Better not! Just look at how he dealt with that loyal female fan earlier—I witnessed it all clearly from the side!

“No way, I didn’t, I don’t want to!” Ai Wei immediately refused three times in a row without hesitation, leaving Su Chen no room at all.

Seeing this, the viewers, hearing Ai Wei’s slightly panicked voice, couldn’t help but laugh and tease.

“Hahaha, look at the mess the streamer has made, see how he’s scared my goddess!”

“Ai Wei’s heart must be racing, afraid that if he answers a second late, he’ll get roasted. Hahaha!”

“Listen to Ai Wei’s anxious tone—I’m about to laugh myself to death.”

“This is solid proof now; his reputation for roasting girls has officially spread far and wide.”

...

Su Chen scratched his head helplessly and said somewhat regretfully, “Alright then, if you ever have any emotional troubles or difficulties, you can come to me anytime!”

Ai Wei: “... What the hell does my emotional trouble have to do with you? Why do you keep bringing it up!”

[Received Ai Wei’s anger points, +666]

Ai Wei fell silent for a moment, then said with a face full of disbelief, “Honestly, I really appreciate you!”

After a few casual exchanges, Su Chen gradually understood the real reason Ai Wei had come to support him today. She probably just wanted to interact a little, boost Su Chen’s image, and see if there might be opportunities to collaborate in the future.

Although Ai Wei had been somewhat narcissistic before, even arrogant, Su Chen had to admit that her actions today made him see her in a new light. Even after being mercilessly rejected by him, she still showed up to support him—that’s not surprising she became a mega influencer with millions of followers. With that mindset and breadth, she truly deserves it.

For example, Su Chen himself definitely wouldn’t be able to do that. He couldn’t stand even the slightest grievance in his heart. If someone treated him like that, he’d surely fight back to regain face and vent his frustration!

“Well, once again, thanks to Miss Ai Wei for the support. If we have the chance to meet again, I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Ai Wei laughed heartily and said, “Sounds good, I’ve marked it down—you absolutely can’t go back on your word!”

Su Chen smiled in reply, “How could I? I’m always ready and waiting for your honor.”

...

In the MiMi MCN office, assistant Yu Xiaoqing looked at Ai Wei, who had just ended the call, her face conflicted and hesitant to speak.

“If you have something to say, just say it. Why the hesitation?” Ai Wei glanced at Yu Xiaoqing sideways, teasing her with a smile.

“Sister Wei...” Yu Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment but spoke softly, “I just don’t quite understand—do we really need to go out of our way to flatter this Su Chen?”

From her perspective, Ai Wei was a mega influencer with tens of millions of fans, whereas this Su Chen was at most a rising star with a million followers—far behind Ai Wei in popularity.

Moreover, from a relational standpoint, Su Chen had bluntly rejected Ai Wei’s sincere invitation just yesterday. Since they were both influencers, they should be competitors, right?

Ai Wei turned to Yu Xiaoqing with a smile and asked, “Do you think that because Su Chen didn’t agree to join our company, we must be bitter enemies locked in fierce competition?”

Yu Xiaoqing furrowed her brow, still puzzled, “Even if we’re not enemies, why do we have to flatter him like this?”

“You see, you just have too narrow and one-sided a view of things,” Ai Wei said patiently with a smile. “Let me teach you how to go far and steady in this circle.

“First, I’m a beauty vlogger, and Su Chen is an emotional and comedy vlogger. Our fanbases are fundamentally different, so there’s no direct competition.

“Second, a key strategy in business is mutual benefit and cooperation. The same applies on Douyin.

“If there’s one big cake, the more people share it, the smaller each slice is, so people fight to snatch food.

“But if we team up to bake the cake together, the bigger the cake gets, the less we have to worry about missing out.

“I have great faith in his future development and popularity. So even if he doesn’t join my company, there’s still room for collaboration down the road.

“Third, I actually quite like Su Chen’s personality—I want to be friends with him!”

Yu Xiaoqing had been listening intently, deeply absorbed, but when Ai Wei mentioned that third point, she couldn’t help but show a strange expression.

So, Sister Wei, that third point is really your true and most important purpose, isn’t it?

Seeing this, Ai Wei frowned and asked, “What’s that look in your eyes?”

Yu Xiaoqing: “Nothing, no... it’s respect!”

...

After hanging up with Ai Wei, Su Chen continued connecting with other netizens.

Some came just for show, others genuinely wanted to consult him, and unsurprisingly, some who asked questions got roasted in return!

Anyway, the atmosphere in the livestream room remained exceptionally lively, with the viewer count steadily climbing, soon surpassing two hundred thousand.

Though this was partly thanks to Su Chen’s first livestream effect, it still proved he had successfully stepped into the ranks of major internet celebrities.

Glancing at the time, it was already past five in the evening, and Su Chen was starting to feel hungry.

Just as he was considering ending the stream, he suddenly noticed many people flooding the comment section.

“Mu Mu is here, streamer connect with him!”

“My Mu Mu’s in your stream, hurry and host him!”

“Streamer, streamer, Mu Mu wants to connect with you, what do you say?”

...

Since Su Chen had disabled the streamer PK feature, they could only flood the comments with messages.

What’s going on?

Su Chen furrowed his brows slightly and clicked on the account named Mu Mu. It turned out to be a musician influencer with over a million followers.

Who the hell is this guy, and what does he want from me?

Su Chen felt absolutely unwelcome about Mu Mu’s arrival and was somewhat displeased.

First, there was no prior arrangement; second, no gifts were sent as a gesture of goodwill. Instead, Mu Mu’s fans were making demands underground—very impolite.

Also, this kind of sudden ambush with his own fans clearly indicated hostile intentions!

Seeing Su Chen not respond, Mu Mu’s fans became even louder and more aggressive.

“Streamer’s too scared to connect with our Mu Mu? What are you afraid of?”

“What are you pretending? Ignoring us? So interesting.”

“You got popular by fooling people online—what’s so great about you?”

“I heard you’re good at roasting people, so why don’t you dare to connect now?”

...

Watching the chat explode into chaos, Su Chen’s gaze grew colder.

He just wanted to make some money and rack up anger points, not start trouble. But they deliberately came looking for a fight?

Did they really think he was an easy target?

Without hesitation, Su Chen connected with the streamer named Mu Mu.

On the right side of the screen appeared a man in his thirties. Though not as handsome as Su Chen, he was decent enough to look at.

Su Chen tilted his head slightly, his expression cold, and asked calmly, “May I know what brings you here?”

Mu Mu was momentarily taken aback, then smiled apologetically, “Sorry to bother you. I just heard about you and wanted to get to know you.

“Although you accidentally took the wrong approach, you still achieved a result that’s hard to reach by the right means. I really admire you for that.”

Su Chen remained unmoved. This guy’s flattery wasn’t sincere—what good could he possibly say next?

This was obviously the old trick of praising first to suppress later, something Su Chen had long grown tired of in his youth.

With a calm voice, Su Chen replied, “You flatter me. Besides, there’s no absolute right or wrong in this world. Even if there were, it would only be according to your way of thinking, not mine.”
