After solving the materialsâ problem, Chen Yu began chatting and joking with Pang Dahai.
He also decided to stay to enjoy a good meal.
This trip proved rewarding.
First, he obtained a large amount of merit, and then he acquired a significant number of materials. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chen Yu remained unfazed despite his strained relationship with the local City God Pavilion due to Judge Qianâs matter.
He estimated he could still manage. There was no chance he would report to the underworld in the short term.
Two days later, after bidding farewell to the client, Chen Yu glanced at the sky, which was covered with dark clouds, hinting at imminent heavy rain.
Given the weather, he didnât expect any more customers.
Immediately, Chen Yu gathered some wolfberries and chrysanthemums and placed them in the health pot, setting it for fifteen minutes.
Once the water boiled, he poured himself a cup of steaming wolfberries and chrysanthemum tea.
Returning to his computer desk, Chen Yu took a sip of water and clicked the mouse to enter the Huyu Platform.
As soon as he started his livestream, the platformâs technical department immediately entered âLevel 1 Combat Alert State.â
Chen Yuâs internet fame was growing, consistently attracting millions of netizens every time he streamed.
Recently, the number of online viewers in his live broadcast room exceeded ten million, all genuine users, putting pressure on the server.
To accommodate this, President Yin had allocated four technicians to serve Chen Yuâs livestream exclusively.
âDr. Chen, have you seen todayâs trending searches? A local temple known for its effective incense got shut down for operating without a license.â
âDamn, operating without a license? What kind of operation is this?â
âI saw that news, too. They operated without a license, evaded taxes, cheated customers, and sold non-existent products.â
âWhat a shame. I heard the Great Buddhist Temple was very effective. 1 was planning to visit during my annual leave.â
âI advise against it. Do you know how much their incense costs? 998 yuan for three sticks!â
âAlright, Iâm backing off. Iâm not that rich.â
By the time Chen Yu logged on, the number of viewers in his stream had already exceeded a million. Various streamers and their fans joined the stream, but they remained relatively low-key.
Glancing at the endless bullet comments on his screen, Chen Yu smiled without uttering a word.
If everyone knew the Great Buddhist Templeâs true nature, they would think twice about it.
It was akin to a modern version of Lanruo Temple.
âSame old rules. Three chances to join my stream.â
After waiting for the flurry of comments to subside, Chen Yu released a 100-yuan red packet.
Within seconds, it was swept away.
âPlease welcome the first patient online.â
Chen Yu picked up his glass and took a sip.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties appeared on the screen.
His online name was Old Wang Barbecue, with his phone number attached as 139XXXXXX.
âHello, Dr. Chen,â greeted Old Wang Barbecue from his cashier station, surrounded by shelves of drinks.
âHello,â responded Chen Yu, smiling. âHow may I assist you?â
âDr. Chen, do you think Iâm charming?â Old Wang asked, eliciting a surprise from the audience.
In terms of age, Old Wang appeared to be in his forties, if not his fifties.
With a round face, stout figure, greasy hair, and oil-smeared face, he hardly fit the typical image of someone charming.
âYouâre very charming,â Chen Yu replied with a faint smile.
âI donât believe it. If heâs charming, then Iâm a model.â
âDr. Chen, do I look human?â
âDamn, where did this mountain spirit come from? Daring to come to Dr. Chenâs livestream for a ban?â
âYou resemble a 148cm, nine-tailed fox with golden fur and animal ears.â
The audience erupted in laughter as jokes filled the chat.
âSigh, Dr. Chen, thank you for saving my dignity,â said Old Wang with a wry smile. âAs the chat said, being charming is beyond my reach.â
Old Wang understood his limitations and didnât mind the jests from the chat.
âHave you encountered any relationship problems recently?â Chen Yu inquired.
âYes, indeed. Itâs a relationship issue!â
âDr. Chen, Iâm here today to seek your help in analyzing my situation. Have I fallen victim to a relationship scam?â
Old Wangâs query piqued the interest of the viewers. They anticipated juicy details.
Judging from Old Wangâs username and his surroundings, he appeared to be the owner of a barbecue restaurant, a middle-aged man with some assets.
When one had money, all sorts of unusual things tended to come knocking at their door, so encountering a relationship swindler wasnât surprising.
Chen Yu gestured for Old Wang to continue.
âAbout a month ago, a young lady came to my shop,â Old Wang Barbecue began after taking a deep breath.
âSheâs probably in her twenties, and sheâs incredibly beautiful, even more so than internet celebrities and influencers nowadays.â
Old Wang proceeded to recount the strange occurrences during this time.
A month prior, a dishwasher in the back kitchen resigned to take care of her grandson.
On the first day of posting a job notice, a determined applicant arrivedânone other than the stunning lady Old Wang mentioned.
She seemed adamant about the position, showing no concern for salary or working hours, as long as Old Wang allowed her to stay without pay.
Despite this, Old Wang hesitated and ultimately rejected her application.
This sparked numerous question marks in the live broadcast room.
If the girl was indeed as beautiful as described, why did Old Wang turn her down?
It seemed ideal to have such an attractive person working at the shop.
Many viewers were curious about the girlâs intentions in applying for a dishwasher position.
âUncle, do you have ulterior motives for rejecting her?â a curious viewer inquired via a paid comment.
âMy barbecue shop is only about 100 square meters,â Old Wang explained with a bitter smile.
âIncluding myself, there are three employees. After deducting personnel expenses, rent, and utilities, our total income is just over 20,000 yuan. Thereâs nothing noteworthy.â
âAs for why I rejected her, itâs because my shop canât afford such a high-profile employee.â
Old Wangâs revelation stunned the netizens.
The girl who applied for the dishwasher position drove a Porsche, and according to his waitressâs observation, her handbag alone was worth around 300,000 yuan..
