Yan Chuan couldn’t help but feel a mix of anxiety and worry, eventually being dragged into Evan’s idea of “bringing funds into the production” and “showing on the big screen,” forgetting about his tension entirely.
Now, however, he was being asked about the things he had concealed…
“Because…” Under the blinding lights of the living room, with the computer’s indicator light flashing, the beautiful young streamer in her maid outfit spoke nervously: “Because I’m afraid you’ll fire me…”
He spoke cautiously, his long lashes casting a shadow over his eyes, his voice weak: “The salary from my new job isn’t enough; I have to pay rent and loans. I need a side job just to make ends meet.”
“You threatened me with my job when we first met,” the pretty young streamer averted her gaze, as if not wanting to look at him, and only allowed him to see the side of her face: “If you knew, you’d definitely fire me.”
“If that happens, I would lose my salary and wouldn’t be able to afford rent, and I’d have to go live in a shared rental house again.”
“The conditions there are terrible, the soundproofing is bad, and I’m afraid to sleep too deeply at night, afraid someone might break in…”
[You heartless sponsor! I said, how could my wife agree to be entangled with her boss when she’s so timid? It turns out you threatened her with her job!]
[How could you even have the audacity to come and question her? She’s being bullied by you, and you think she can’t find comfort elsewhere?]
[My wife is too pitiful; during the day, she’s harassed by that awful boss, and at night, she has to deal with men in her live stream. She’s so busy, poor thing.]
“I never intended to fire you,” Evan paused clearly, recalling the scene from memory and wracking his brain to defend himself: “Why would you think that?”
Yan Chuan replied, “Because you do.”
“You asked me if I wanted to lose my job, meaning that if I didn’t comply with you, I’d be fired,” he didn’t even glance at Evan’s somewhat flustered expression: “You even sent your assistant to inquire about my identity.”
“If I don’t agree to you, I know I’ll definitely be fired, have no salary, and can’t find another job. I’d end up living in a shared rental house doing odd jobs and wouldn’t even be able to pay off my loans.”
“Then you’d still harass me,” Yan Chuan’s tone was flat: “You would mock me for losing my job just because I didn’t comply and make me look so pitiful.”
“I’m not…” Evan furrowed his brow, about to say something but got interrupted.
“At that point, you could openly propose conditions for keeping me, and I wouldn’t even have a reason to refuse.”
Yan Chuan thought for a moment and added, “Without a job, I couldn’t find a way to support myself; I might even encounter more people like you with ill intentions, all wanting to bully me.”
From the clear change in Evan’s eyes, Yan Chuan concluded, “So I can’t lose my job; I can’t just find one job because offending the boss could lead to being fired.”
“Being a small streamer is the same,” he turned his face away: “If it weren’t for that, why would I still work at night when I come back? You occupy all my off days.”
Author’s Note:
Yan Bao can’t be at fault; it’s all because of the bad man!
Chapter 57: Cross-Dressing Streamer 24
[Wife’s Skill: Turning the Tables]
[It’s obviously the bad man’s fault; my wife’s target wasn’t even him. He had to barge in, and it’s his own fault my wife didn’t tell him anything!]
[Yan Bao is so pitiful… at the beginning of this script, he was just a new graduate who couldn’t afford rent, and his boss threatened him with his job on the first day… So what if he deceived the sponsor!]
[Isn’t the sponsor about to explode? If he hadn’t threatened my wife with her job, she wouldn’t have to earn money as a cross-dressing streamer on the platform!]
“So that’s why I continue being a streamer,” Yan Chuan said, looking at the floor, pronouncing each word: “At first, I just wanted to earn a little money for rent.”
“And then more people started to come into the live stream…” he had collaborated with countless other streamers.
Yan Chuan finished his sentence.
This wasn’t a lie; initially, he wasn’t sure how long he could stay in this situation. He had tried streaming for the task and to move out of the poor shared rental house.
Of course, the fear of Evan actually firing him was also a factor, as was the trading condition he agreed to with Evan.
The persona Yan Chuan needed to portray was “an unnoticed employee who secretly is a cross-dressing streamer on the platform,” needing to keep this job to fulfill the “secret” condition.
However, he didn’t expect the number of viewers in the livestream to increase, reaching a point where Evan would discover his identity.
But being discovered is something that can’t be helped. With the growing number of viewers, it was only a matter of time before Evan would find out.
Wearing a mask wouldn’t help; he could still be recognized just by his legs.
Evan coming directly to him wasn’t a surprise; what surprised him was that line, “Add me.”
Shouldn’t Evan be angry and think he’s a little trickster, feeling his emotions have been deceived?
Even though it was Evan who initially forced the matter, Yan Chuan had only slightly concealed his side job.
So what was Evan doing now?
Yan Chuan raised his head and glanced at Evan in confusion.
Evan was in a daze.
He stood in front of the beautiful young streamer, listening to her softly explain why she wanted to be a streamer.
First, she couldn’t afford rent, then she encountered him, her unreasonable boss, who threatened her with her job. Fearful of losing her financial support right after graduating, she had to find a side job, working hard as a little streamer at night.
To earn a bit of money as a cross-dressing streamer, collaborating with other men wasn’t a big deal.
At the root of it all, it was still because of what Evan had “threatened” her with.
The living room lights were warm, casting a soft golden hue that illuminated the little streamer’s beautiful face clearly. Her black, soft hair hung down, slightly curling at the ends. A strand of hair clung to her snowy white cheek, which she pushed back behind her ear.
