Chapter 434 Great pleasure
"How could you say that about Brother Gao?" Xiaohua frowned deeply, her tone full of disapproval, as if she were protecting some precious treasure. "If he really gets angry, the consequences will be severe. Even if I wanted to plead for you then, there would be nothing I could do!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Yao scoffed, her eyes full of disdain: "Never mind whether your good brother is angry or not, let him come back and finish this PK first. What, you were so tough when you were talking tough before, but now you're really cowardly and running away?"
"How could that be!" Xiaohua immediately retorted, her tone filled with urgency and an undisguised longing. "Brother Gao is different from us small streamers. He has three max-level whales backing him up. How could he be afraid of PK? He must have had an emergency and will be back soon!"
The reason she agreed to help Diamond Lao Gao betray Yao Yao without hesitation was partly because she was powerless to do so, and partly because she was after those three max-level whales.
She thought that as long as she could get a few votes, even if it was just a small amount of resources, it would be enough for her to get by for a long time. Even if she lost some dignity, she would never regret it.
But the next second, the rapidly scrolling content on the public screen made the longing on her face freeze instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.
[Hahaha, everyone hurry up and search for Lao Gao's ID, don't search for his nickname anymore, his account has turned into a string of mysterious numbers!]
[!?! Really?! I'll go check!]
[Holy crap, is this a real ban? My nickname is gone, and clicking on it just shows "account abnormal"!]
[OMG, which boss is so powerful that they banned this bastard's account? That's so satisfying!]
[Who knows? After all, Lao Gao usually acts like a bully in the live stream, offending quite a few big shots. Sooner or later, this day would come!]
Don't get too excited yet. What if he changes his number and comes back with a vengeance?
[No way! You should all check the official announcement from Douyin Live; it's a permanent ban! He'll also be receiving a lawyer's letter for the negative impact he caused on Douyin. Furthermore, other live streaming platforms won't hire him anymore, which means he's completely finished!]
[Ahhh, even the official channels are involved, so it's definitely a sure thing! This is so satisfying!]
[Hahahaha, this is hilarious! I had so much fun watching this today. I'm giving out red envelopes to everyone, come and grab them!]
“Impossible…” Xiaohua stared at the comments, her eyes vacant, and murmured in disbelief, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz.
Has Lao Gao been banned? Or is it a permanent ban, preventing him from accessing other platforms?
What about all the things she did?
She betrayed so many people and climbed up to Diamond Lao Gao.
But now, not only is their only major asset broken, but they've also been completely kicked out of the game.
She has nothing left.
Without the support of his older brother and sister, the live stream room is now filled with a bunch of male fans who love to make lewd remarks but never spend any money on virtual gifts.
What will happen to her in the future?
Xiaohua's lips trembled, tears welled up uncontrollably, and her vision blurred instantly.
She felt as if all her strength had been drained, and like a deflated balloon, she slumped heavily into the chair, her hands hanging limply at her sides, too weak even to grip the hem of her skirt.
Looking at her like this, Xia Tian felt no sympathy whatsoever. Instead, he curled the corners of his mouth and said sarcastically, "Why not? People who are despicable deserve their fate. He's done so many disgusting things, being banned is too lenient. He deserves it!"
If Yao Yao saw Xiao Hua's miserable state, she still harbored a trace of past affection and a little bit of sympathy, and couldn't bear to say anything too harsh.
She doesn't have any in the summer.
From the moment Xia Tian learned that Xiao Hua had betrayed Yao Yao and degraded herself, she felt that Xiao Hua deserved to end up in this situation!
"Impossible." Xiaohua hurriedly picked up her phone and started tapping around on WeChat.
It's unclear what was sent, but all that could be heard was Diamond Lao Gao's furious voice coming through the microphone: "Go to hell! I don't have time to deal with your business right now. You think you're something special just because I give you a little face? You don't deserve it! Get lost and stop bothering me!"
The insults from Diamond Lao Gao struck him like a heavy blow.
Xiaohua forced a smile and asked, "Brother Gao, no... wasn't the driver here? How could this be...?"
The driver is Lao Gao's biggest boss.
One of the top-ranked super-rich users on Douyin, that's the source of Diamond Lao Gao's arrogance. But to be able to hang out with Diamond Lao Gao, you can imagine how depraved and rotten the driver must be.
"You think I don't know how to find a driver? Do I need you to teach me? I think this whole mess is because of you! You're such a jerk! Get lost!"
Xiaohua can no longer send messages.
The person she saw as her lifeline blocked her.
Everything that happened in those few minutes was witnessed by everyone in the live stream.
For a moment, all that could be heard was mockery and amusement.
[Hahaha, he deserved it! So satisfying!]
[The most exciting novel of the year has arrived!]
So even that idiot driver couldn't be dealt with, who actually pulled the strings?
No matter who it is, they should thank the boss. People like Lao Gao, the Diamond Boss, don't deserve to live in this world.
The internet is so advanced these days that anyone can make money from it.
【...】
"Was it made by F-Emperor?" Xia Tian twirled the earphone cord between her fingers, her eyes full of curiosity. She already knew that there was a generous big brother in Yao Yao's live stream who came from a wealthy family in real life and never hesitated to give gifts. He was a backer that many streamers envied.
Yao Yao gently shook her head at the camera, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, her tone tinged with a hint of bewilderment: "I can't say for sure, I haven't received any messages from him, nor have I seen him come online to talk about this."
From: No
On the other side of the screen, Zhou Linwu unconsciously tapped his fingertips on the table, his mind racing with guesses.
If I had that ability, that guy Diamond Lao Gao wouldn't have dared to keep showing up in Yao Yao's live stream. If I could ban him, I would have shut him down long ago. He wouldn't be able to swagger around like this until now.
He knew all the owners of Yao Yao's live stream room well. In terms of the amount of gifts they gave, none of them could surpass him, let alone have the power to easily shut down a top internet celebrity.
Furthermore, although Diamond Lao Gao is of low character and his live-streaming content is vulgar, he can still attract traffic and make money. He brings in a considerable amount of revenue for the platform every month. Douyin can't just ban him like that; it would be impossible without some real power behind him.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the only person with that kind of influence is that new boss who has only been in the live streaming room for a few days...
Or perhaps it was a hidden tycoon who happened to be passing by and couldn't stand Diamond Lao Gao's despicable behavior, so he took action?
But Zhou Linwu dismissed the idea as soon as it came to mind. The internet is so vast, the probability of a super-rich person willing to stand up for a stranger and mobilize resources to ban someone is so small as to be almost negligible.
The only remaining possibility is...
Zhou Linwu's gaze slowly shifted to the corner of the screen, landing on that familiar yet mysterious ID—R.
He didn't even consider Xu Qingqing, who was also there for the first time. It wasn't that he looked down on her, but the class difference was obvious: he knew Xu Qingqing was rich, but that little bit of money was nothing compared to the power to influence the platform's rules.
But Little R is different.
He couldn't see through her, just as she was unpredictable.
Suddenly, the image of a girl's bright eyes flashed through Zhou Linwu's mind. Her eyes were bright and clear when she smiled, clean and lively. Zhou Linwu shook her head slightly, putting all these chaotic guesses to the back of her mind.
Whether it was Little R who did it or not, it has little to do with me.
"No matter who helped me, I should say thank you properly." Yao Yao put her hands together, bowed slightly to the camera, and prayed sincerely.
Previously, Diamond Lao Gao and his team had been bombarding her with messages, and she was prepared to stop broadcasting, leave the industry, and give up her beloved live streaming career. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and not only was she able to stay in front of the camera, but her biggest obstacle also completely disappeared.
As she gazed at the screen filled with congratulations to Yao Yao, a hint of moisture welled up in her eyes, and only two words remained in her heart: "So good."
Meanwhile, Xiaohua's live stream room was already in complete chaos.
Pu Xinnan's change of expression is always faster than turning the pages of a book.
Upon learning that Diamond Lao Gao was completely unable to make a comeback, the fans who were originally helping Lao Gao to criticize Yao Yao instantly turned against him, and the barrage was filled with unlucky words and curses.
[Old Gao is such a bad brother! My buddy put all his instant noodle money into the betting, hoping he'd win, and then he backed out at the last minute?]
[I thought Lao Gao was some big shot, daring to challenge Yao Yao, but he's such a coward? In all my years in the internet industry, this is the first time I've seen someone so useless!]
Diamond Lao Gao was originally just an uneducated loser. He became an internet celebrity by using vulgar jokes and deliberately provoking gender antagonism to attract attention. He made so much money every month that he skipped class.
Birds of a feather flock together; those he attracted were male fans who shared his narrow-mindedness and dark thoughts.
These people shout in the live stream every day about slapping the female streamer in the face, but they have long been jealous of Lao Gao's good luck, they just haven't had the chance to show it before.
Now that Lao Gao has fallen, they naturally want to kick him while he's down and vent their pent-up frustrations.
【Oh no! I've put all the allowance my wife gave me into this account, and now Lao Gao has run away, what am I going to do with my money?】
【I'm even worse off! I asked my boss for an advance on next month's salary. Lao Gao promised to return half to the fans in the group after we won, but now I can't find him anywhere. I only make 2,800 a month, and I still have loans to pay off. I can't live like this!】
[Damn it, Diamond Lao Gao is a complete fraud!]
[Can't find Lao Gao? Look, here's the perfect one! Guys! This female streamer is definitely having an affair with Lao Gao, otherwise how would she have his WeChat? Make her pay back the money!]
Yes! Pay me back! I just sent her a little heart, I can't just let this go!
[Pay back the money! Don't even think about starting your broadcast if you don't pay back the money!]
Xiaohua sat in front of the camera, completely stunned. As she watched the screen scrolling with messages about repaying the money, her face turned pale and then red, her hands clenched tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably, and a fire burning in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
"I have no money." She took a deep breath, her nails almost digging into her palms, and forcefully suppressed the urge to curse, her voice trembling slightly.
But the insults in the comments section didn't stop; instead, they got even fiercer.
[No money? Who believes that! You've been following Lao Gao for so long, you must have made a lot of money, right? All that traffic you get, isn't it all from your brothers? Give us our money back now!]
[That's right! Pay me back! You bitch, stop whining here, or I'll find your address and come after you in person!]
[Old Gao ran away, so you have to pay for him! Otherwise, we'll report you and make sure you can't broadcast anymore!]
"Why?" Xiaohua's fingertips trembled even more violently, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
She remembered clearly that the guy who had just swiped his card to buy her two Porsches and made her dance for almost ten minutes was now yelling the loudest.
Two sports cars, which doesn't translate into much profit. She smiled and danced, working up a sweat, and now they want her to return the money?
This is so shameless!
[You dare talk back? You think you're so great?]
[Boss Ka spent money on two Porsches, you have to refund him, or we won't let you off the hook!]
Exactly! Give us our money back now, don't force us to take action!
Looking at these comments, Xiaohua felt both angry and aggrieved. Tears finally streamed down her face, landing on the keyboard and creating a small water stain.
How shameless!
Yao Yao and Xia Tian's fans couldn't hold back any longer. Although they disliked Xiao Hua as a person, they also couldn't stand this behavior.
[A bunch of losers bullying a little girl, that's all they're capable of.]
Is the person asking Xiaohua to refund their "little hearts" money joking? Hahaha, they want even a penny back? They're so poor, why are they even online? Do they even have money to pay their phone bill? They should just pack their bags and die; maybe they'll be reborn into a better family in their next life.
Summer and Yao Yao both had mixed feelings.
"Are you people all crazy?" Yao Yao took a deep breath and said.
She didn't like Xiaohua either, but she couldn't just stand by and watch a group of people pressure a little girl.
These words were like a boulder crashing into the chaotic live stream. The previously clamoring chat paused for a moment, then surged even more fiercely, with some even turning their anger towards Yao Yao.
[What's it to you? This is between us and Xiaohua!]
Who do you think you are? You dare to tell us what to do?
[Did you get Lao Gao banned? Now you're pretending to be a good guy, it's disgusting!]
[Exactly! Why don't you pay her off for her?]
[Hehehe, that bitch Xiaohua betrayed you, and you're still defending her?]
See it.
They clearly know everything.
