Larry had no criminal record and no undesirable habits. He was diligent, and lived a life that met the standards of a
good person for over thirty years.
He even went so far as to find people to take in the stray cats he found on the roadside, and took full responsibility
for them.
He met his previous girlfriend because of a cat. She was a beautiful girl working as a live streamer in an anime-
related company.
Nowadays, no matter how good one’s education was, it couldn’t match the earnings of an overnight sensation live
streamer.
However, behind these money-making streamers, there were countless aspiring small streamers who couldn’t
catch a break.
They were attractive and slim, and sat in front of the camera daily. They used all their tricks, yet their income and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfan base couldn’t compare to big internet celebrities and top streamers.
What was more infuriating was that many internet celebrities and streamers hadn’t done anything special.
They seemingly effortlessly posted videos some with bewildering content like [My husband treats me like this] or
[Watch me perform a stunt called ‘Hand in Hot Oil’]. Then, they actually put their hand into hot oil unharmed,
revealing later that they didn’t even turn on the heat.
But with videos like these, they could gather an immense number of fans overnight, creating a myth of getting rich
quickly. They would then receive numerous advertising opportunities, seamlessly transitioning into live selling and
endorsing products.
Larry’s ex-girlfriend, Lulu, struggled in this environment. For many years, she failed to gain popularity despite her
efforts.
Yet, she couldn’t switch to another industry after all these years. If she was willing to endure hardship, she could
easily get a job as a luxury salesperson at SK Mall with her face. She could be earning forty to fifty thousand dollars
a year.
However, Lulu couldn’t bear the hardship.
She would complain about standing all day, which made her legs look bad, and feared developing varicose veins in
the long run.
Moreover, she had to greet customers with a smile. What terrified her more was that every person who came to
shop wasn’t a poor person.
She said, “Watching so many people spend hundreds of thousands every day like how we average people spend a
few hundred or thousand dollars every day… I can’t stand it! My mental state will be crushed!”
In the end, she wanted to stay in the livestreaming industry. After all, being a live streamer, though hard, meant
streaming for only two to three hours a day.
If they streamed for too long, their condition would suffer. Poor condition meant looking bad on camera, and if they
didn’t look good, sponsors would decrease.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn short, Lulu had gotten used to this job of short durations with high returns. Even if she couldn’t compare to those
top streamers, in reality, her earning power was stronger than office workers who worked hard all day just to earn a
few hundred bucks.
However, she was getting older.
Newcomers kept emerging in the industry, putting pressure on Lulu’s position. Even the recent livestreaming tasks
assigned to her were designed to showcase new faces on her existing fan base. Wasn’t she essentially giving away
the fans she had worked so hard to maintain?
Lulu refused to comply.
“Not doing it? Then you don’t need to stream for the company!”
Well, there weren’t many streamers in the company anyway. In reality, most of them did it on their own and
broadcasted from home.
But Lulu was different; her streaming account belonged to the company.
When she was younger and the livestreaming industry was booming, someone approached her just as she entered
the scene.
They said they saw potential in her. Their company intended to sign her, and would pull their entire resources to
turn her into a super popular streamer.
