The Streamer's Allure: Top Fans Vying for Her Affection - Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Jiang Zhouzhou looked at the WeChat ID the other person had sent and, after a moment of thought, decided to add him.
He accepted almost instantly.
Just like his Shark handle, his WeChat name was Xiaomi Congee. He had likely just changed it.
[Xiaomi Congee: What are you doing?]
[Zhouzhou: Looking at some props I’ll need for my streams.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Let me send you some links. I watch a lot of streams, so I know a bit about this stuff.]
[Zhouzhou: Okay.]
[Xiaomi Congee: How about I just buy them and have them shipped to you?]
Jiang Zhouzhou: “…”
Why did she suddenly feel like he had ulterior motives?
[Zhouzhou: No thanks, you’ve already tipped enough today.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Don’t be so polite with me.]
[Zhouzhou: I’m really not being polite.]
At this point, Xiaomi Congee seemed to realize he was being a bit too overzealous and had startled her.
[Xiaomi Congee: Cough, you should get some rest. Don’t stay up too late. Goodnight.]
[Xiaomi Congee: Oh, and don’t forget about the fan group. If you’re okay with it… I can be the group admin and help you manage the fans.]
[Zhouzhou: Mhm, I got it! Goodnight. Thanks for today.]
After exiting the chat with Xiaomi Congee, Jiang Zhouzhou curiously clicked on his Moments.
His feed was quite lively, mostly filled with photos and videos of drinking and drag racing, interspersed with a few peaceful travel photos.
It was clear he was someone who loved to have fun, though he didn’t show his face in any of the photos or videos.
As Jiang Zhouzhou continued scrolling, she noticed that all the posts about drinking and racing suddenly vanished, leaving only the peaceful travel photos.
Jiang Zhouzhou: …
On the other side, after Lin Chen finished his chat with Jiang Zhouzhou, he suddenly remembered his messy Moments feed and hurriedly hid all the posts about his partying lifestyle.
Once that was done, something else occurred to him, and he clicked on a friend in his contact list.
Lin Chen: [Brother Nanfeng, do me a favor.]
Nanfeng: [?]
Lin Chen: [It’s about the streamer I did a PK with today. If you run into her while watching streams in the future, whatever you do, don’t help anyone else beat her.]
Nanfeng: [.]
Lin Chen: [Can you at least give me a squeak? I’m serious here.]
Nanfeng: [Squeak.]
Lin Chen: […Wow.]
He really shouldn’t have come here to be humiliated.
Nanfeng: [You’ve fallen for her?]
Lin Chen: [Not really.]
Nanfeng: [Then can I make a move?]
Lin Chen: [From this moment on, our brotherhood is dead. Contact me through the blacklist.]
Nanfeng: [!]
Setting his phone down, Lin Chen massaged his temples. There was no way he’d fall for a female streamer; he was just temporarily interested, that’s all!
As a wealthy young master, he never lacked women throwing themselves at him. That was exactly why he enjoyed exposing the fake personas of these women online, letting everyone see their true colors.
“If she’s like those other women who cling to you the moment you give them some money, then that’ll be the end of it.”
Lin Chen temporarily categorized this feeling as mere novelty.

After searching for some knowledge about streaming on the platform and watching several clips of various stream highlights, Jiang Zhouzhou felt she was gaining a better understanding of the process.
Following Xiaomi Congee’s suggestion, she set up a fan group. She configured the settings so that only those who followed her and had earned a Fan Badge were eligible to apply for entry.
Once that was settled, she placed orders for some small props and outfits for her streams.
She knew that viewers needed a sense of freshness; if she stayed exactly the same, her fans would quickly lose interest and leave.
“Once I’ve made some money, it would be best to go to some hobby classes and learn a few actual talents.”
Today’s stream had given Jiang Zhouzhou hope; she really wanted to keep going down this path.
After a sweet and restful sleep, she started her stream at two o’clock in the afternoon.
[Sexy Mother Cockroach has entered the stream]
[Chenguang is a Dog has entered the stream]

Today’s stream was clearly doing better than yesterday’s. Right at the start, over a dozen fans joined.
Jiang Zhouzhou smiled sweetly at the camera. “Hi! Good afternoon, my fan babies!”
[Smiling so sweetly today, did something good happen?]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach gifted the streamer Fan Badge *1]
Jiang Zhouzhou made a finger heart at the camera. “It’s because I’m happy whenever I see my fan babies!”
“Thank you, Baby Cockroach, for the Fan Badge. For those who haven’t followed yet, please hit that follow button! I set up a fan group yesterday. Once you follow and get your Fan Badge, you can apply to join the group.”
[I Love Drinking Porridge gifted the streamer Fan Badge *1]
[I Love Drinking Porridge gifted the streamer Popularity Ticket *1]
[I Love Drinking Porridge: Joining right now.]
[Xiaomi Congee has entered the stream]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: The streamer looks even prettier today. Are you wearing makeup?]
Seeing the comment, Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly leaned closer to the phone screen.
She showed off her makeup from every angle before saying, “Yes! I did a light look today. Does it look okay?”
Though her makeup skills had never been great, she knew she had to learn if she wanted to stay in this industry, lest her viewers grow tired of her look.
Jiang Zhouzhou had been studying makeup tutorials since she woke up. It had taken her over an hour just to barely succeed with this simple, light look.
[Ugh, my heart! This is a total beauty crit!]
[Does anyone else feel this? She leaned in so suddenly and just stole my heart.]
[The lipstick color is nice. It would look great printed on my face.]
[What’s wrong with the world having one more beautiful person like me?]
[Xiaomi Congee: It looks good. Very good.]
[Xiaomi Congee gifted the streamer Super Rocket *1] (1000 Fish Balls)
A sudden gift flashed across the screen, making Jiang Zhouzhou wink happily at the camera.
“Thank you, Baby Mizhou, for the Super Rocket! But you already gave so much yesterday, you really shouldn’t spend so much today!”
She felt a bit bad about constantly shearing the same sheep.
[Xiaomi Congee: I’m not hurting for a few bucks.]
[Chenguang is a Dog: Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a big boss. So firm.]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach gifted the streamer Love Kiss *1] (10 Fish Balls)
Receiving another gift, Jiang Zhouzhou manually made a heart. “Thank you, Baby Cockroach! Love you, mwah!”
[Xiaomi Congee: So?]
He didn’t even get that treatment for a Super Rocket.
A loss. A total loss!
[Hahaha, Boss Xiaomi Congee is sounding salty.]
Watching the lively chat, Jiang Zhouzhou suddenly put on a mysterious smile. “I learned something new last night. Do my fan babies want to see?”
Before the chat could even respond, her face turned bright red.
[Baby Zhou’s face is so red… she didn’t learn some suggestive dance, did she?]
[Xiaomi Congee: If it’s a suggestive dance, I’m not interested. Change it.]
[Boss Xiaomi Congee is totally lying. He probably wants to watch it all by himself!]
Jiang Zhouzhou hadn’t expected the viewers to take it in that direction. She shook her head. “It’s not dancing. It’s… that ‘Hanmai’ rapping.”
[Xiaomi Congee: !]
[Sexy Mother Cockroach: !]
[Fans: !]
