The person on the other side expressed that this was the reward for the first phase. As long as the limited edition items were included in the completed orders, they could share a percentage of the commission.
For Tong Sui, this was a very new experience, although he felt a bit worried.
“Isn’t there a chance that no one will buy?”
The staff member handling complex negotiations glanced at the continuous order notifications that sprang up right as the pre-sale went live. Based on his experience, these goods would definitely sell out.
In fact, the purchasing power of these fans was far greater than the stars they had previously hired at a high cost, making it hard to believe that such energy could come from regular fans.
He replied, “Don’t worry, most of our first batch of goods has already been reserved.”
Tong Sui was a bit surprised; he didn’t realize the show had become so popular that it was a common topic of discussion among people meeting.
His own Weibo followers had long surpassed a million.
After changing clothes, they got into the car heading back to the small house.
With such a large sum of money coming in, there was a smile on Tong Sui’s face, looking quite happy.
The others, however, seemed a bit distracted.
While Tong Sui was changing, Jiang Ciyuan had taken the initiative to request all the original photos from the staff in the name of work.
Not long after he left, the remaining few people also took turns requesting the pictures.
The moment they saw the images, they were all deeply captivated by the boy occupying the center of the frame, as if he was born to stand in such a spotlight, radiating a mesmerizing beauty like a mandala.
Of course, it would have been much better if there were fewer distracting figures in the picture.
When they saw Tong Sui get into the car, everyone tacitly put away their phones.
Tong Sui approached the last row, where Chi Xingyu was seated. “What are you looking at?”
Chi Xingyu quickly pressed his phone screen off, saying, “Nothing.”
Such a suspicious behavior.
Tong Sui sat down, his freshly cleansed face glowing, and smiled with his long eyelashes fluttering, saying, “What are you hiding? Even if you were looking at a female streamer, I wouldn’t say anything.”
“Female streamer.”
Chi Xingyu almost pressed his brightly lit screen against Tong Sui’s face. “But it is indeed a female streamer from Mengya Live.”
He emphasized the last few words.
Tong Sui looked at the enlarged image, realizing it was actually him. He hurriedly covered the phone with his hand, his head feeling hot. “Y-you, how do you have these photos, and why are they set as your wallpaper…”
“Is it strange?” Chi Xingyu replied, “I took the photos, so I can use them however I’d like.”
Tong Sui couldn’t argue and could only glance at the photo. It was quite strange; was he really like that when he was being photographed?
So close to the screen, any stranger seeing it would definitely misunderstand.
“Can you change it?”
Chi Xingyu said firmly, “No, I really like this picture.”
It only contained the two of them.
He thought to switch his profile picture and background to this photo as well.
With no other options, Tong Sui could only divert his attention to the items placed in the back row, where a bouquet, snacks, and letters from fans were.
He picked up the flowers and smelled them—they were fragrant. He could take them back to the small house and find a vase to put them in.
Then Tong Sui picked up the bag of letters and opened a few envelopes.
Most of them contained very normal content, expressing affection, calling him “wife” or “baby,” but some had rather unusual themes.
He opened one envelope, and a square card fell out.
Tong Sui was stunned for a moment.
He bent down to pick it up, and it turned out to be a bank card.
Who would stuff something like this into a letter?
He frowned as he read the accompanying letter; the writing on the paper was particularly forceful, with ink soaking through to the other side.
—Baby, since the first time I saw you, I couldn’t take my eyes off you. You’re so charming, but why did you participate in that damn variety show with those people?
I’ve checked your information; you must be short on money, but it’s okay. I can give you all my money.
Just look at me, will you?
I really want to be your lover and live with you. As long as you agree to cut ties with those people, I will provide you with a better place to stay.
There’s a password on the back of the bank card. I hope you like this gift.
Tong Sui’s frown deepened.
This had gone beyond the realm of normal letter content and was even somewhat unsettling.
“What’s wrong?” Chi Xingyu glanced over.
Tong Sui stuffed the letter and the hot card back into the envelope, saying, “Nothing, just that the content is a bit strange.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it,” Chi Xingyu said. “We often get weird people like that. If you get such letters again, just have the production team screen them before they get to you.”
“Have you received them too?”
“I’ve received all sorts. At first, many people sent me hate letters, and I never understood what kind of mentality led them to write hate letters to me.”
Chi Xingyu said, “Later, I understood; people who don’t like you will always have reasons to dislike you. There’s no need to make yourself uncomfortable for those people.”
The bus returned to the small house.
Everyone got off the bus one after another. Upon returning, Tong Sui found a vase to place the flowers in, putting them in the most prominent spot on the table.
Suddenly, he heard a voice from upstairs, “Where’s my bed??”
He excitedly ran down the stairs.
“Where did that big bed in my room go??”
Chi Xingyu asked, “Did the bed grow legs and run away?”
“It really is gone,” Zhong Yi tugged at Chi Xingyu’s collar, “You should come see for yourself.”
Chi Xingyu stood at the doorway of the room.
The space that originally held the bed was now empty, leaving only one bed in the room.
Zhong Yi’s bed, with its uniquely styled sheets, had vanished without a trace.
Zhong Yi said, “Tonight, I won’t have to squeeze into a bed with you, right?”
