I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

Chapter 275: Chapter 275: Sharp Decrease in Live Streaming Revenue

"Didn’t you use to clamor about going fishing more ferociously than anyone else? What’s going on with you today?"

And Old Gold Head let out a heavy sigh, saying, "I’m telling you, Old Zhang, is there anything in your head besides fishing?"

"Somebody’s Ye Teacher is going to wander the streets with young Liao tomorrow."

"Oh... I see, I almost forgot about that!" Hearing Old Gold Head’s words, Old Zhang suddenly came to.

And so, he gave Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue, who were sitting opposite, a "you know what I mean" look.

As the parties concerned, Ye Chen and Liao Xuexue were just staring at each other, baffled.

What are these old men talking about here?

"Tomorrow Ye Teacher is off to develop a relationship with young Liao, hahaha!"

"Go for it, you two, hurry up and give Old Liao a great-grandson so we can all enjoy a wedding banquet."

"Yeah, honestly speaking, you two really do match well, a handsome man and beautiful woman!"

Facing the teasing of the surrounding old men, Ye Chen didn’t take it seriously, but Liao Xuexue’s face turned crimson.

Then thinking about walking the streets with Ye Chen tomorrow sent her heart racing with excitement.

After all, she had never wandered the streets with Ye Teacher before.

She couldn’t help but steal a glance at Ye Chen sitting beside her.

Sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, well-defined features, a healthy bronze skin tone...

Hmm, truly handsome!

In the face of everyone’s teasing, Ye Chen didn’t say much.

These folks were eating at the barbecue joint, enjoying braised Alligator Turtle, Alligator Turtle hotpot, the old men toasting and chatting happily, and the bosses joining in the conversation, creating a lively atmosphere.

However, Ye Chen was somewhat distracted, responding sporadically to what people were saying.

Soon, they finished the meal.

Everyone stood in front of the door, saying their goodbyes.

"Ye Teacher, I honestly didn’t expect I could try Alligator Turtle. Thank you so much!"

"Yeah, if it wasn’t for Ye Teacher, I wouldn’t have even known about Alligator Turtle!"

"Hahaha, Ye Teacher, I’m really starting to enjoy fishing with you more and more."

Although they drank some baijiu, these old men lived fairly close by.

So, they left the barbecue joint in groups, riding on small electric scooters.

And Ye Chen also took Liao Xuexue on his motorbike back to the front gate of Jiang City University.

After parking the bike, without waiting for Liao Xuexue to speak, Ye Chen said with a smile, "What’s my reward for bringing you back today?"

"Reward, what reward?" Blinking her watery eyes, Liao Xuexue looked at Ye Chen sitting in the driver’s seat, her face full of confusion.

At this moment, Ye Chen pointed to his own cheek with his finger.

Following that, Liao Xuexue understood what he meant.

Good lord, he was hinting for a kiss!

She remembered the last time Ye Chen took her back to school on that little trike; she had taken the opportunity to give him a kiss when he wasn’t looking.

Thinking of this, Liao Xuexue’s cheeks flushed red.

"Rogue!"

After saying that, she opened the car door as if running away and scampered toward her dormitory.

Seeing this, Ye Chen shook his head with a laugh.

Why is this girl sometimes modest and sometimes not?

So, is she modest, or isn’t she?

After seeing Liao Xuexue safely back to school, Ye Chen drove back to the villa at Golden Treasure Residential Area Building 007.

It was already 7:30 in the evening.

Ye Chen parked the car in front of the villa’s courtyard and then entered his home.

After changing into his pajamas, he sat on the sofa, picked up his cellphone, and laid a piece of paper and a pen on the coffee table.

He was ready to thoroughly sort out the situation.

Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the sofa, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

Earlier this afternoon, Cui Ruogou posted a video on his ’Quick Shake’ account stating that he had been hired by Ye Chen to act as a hater in order to attract public attention and dispel doubts about Ye Chen faking his abilities.

Although this reasoning was somewhat forced, the Internet never lacked those without the ability to discern the truth.

At the end of his video, he also revealed a so-called chat record with Ye Chen.

The chat record showed that Ye Chen had explicitly offered to pay Cui Ruogou 500,000 Yuan to play the role of a buffoon.

Watching the video posted by Cui Ruogou on his phone, Ye Chen’s face grew increasingly grim.

In this video posted by Cui Ruogou, he portrayed a sense of remorse for his wrongdoing, mixed with fury.

This guy really could be an actor in films.

Ye Chen glanced at Cui Ruogou on his phone screen and couldn’t help but sneer.

Based on Ye Chen’s analysis of the event, he could vaguely deduce.

This matter seemed not so simple.

After all, Cui Ruogou had been taught a tough lesson by himself last time, and only a few days had passed since he was used as python bait.

For him to cause trouble so soon again clearly indicated he had accomplices.

And the operation of this event was quite well done.

Right now, on Weibo, many big Vs had re-posted Cui Ruogou’s video, and they all called for Ye Chen to make a statement.

Meanwhile, in the comments section under Cui Ruogou’s video, many netizens expressed that there was nothing wrong with what Cui Ruogou had done.

The most laughable part was that some people even said Cui Ruogou was a prodigal son turning a new leaf, that the mistakes he made before didn’t matter as long as he didn’t repeat them in the future.

This was obviously the work of paid internet trolls influencing the mood of discussion.

It seemed that this matter wouldn’t be easy to handle!

Ye Chen browsed the comment section beneath Cui Ruogou’s video with a furrowed brow.

After all, having lived two lifetimes, he was all too familiar with these kinds of internet trolls stirring the pot.

He looked at those comments attacking him, questioning him, and those influencing the public opinion, and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly remembered about the live broadcast he did today.

So, he logged into his account and saw that today’s streaming income was just over 270,000 Yuan.

It was a lot less than the previous days, at least reduced by one-third.

Obviously, he had been affected by the controversy today, hence the sharp decline in earnings.

This was normal, after all, when a streamer was caught up in such a scandal, especially one that implicated deceiving the audience.

Before the truth became clear, the number of gifts given would definitely plummet significantly.

Ye Chen also checked his private messages.

His inbox was always full every day, but different from usual, those past messages were all well-meaning.

Some invited Ye Chen to go fishing somewhere, others invited him to visit certain cities, and some invited him to meals.

Otherwise, they were messages from fans expressing their affection for Ye Chen.

But today’s messages truly made Ye Chen frown.

"Ye Chen, if you don’t give us fans an explanation for this incident, I’m going to unfollow you!"
