Chapter 719 Thank you for not abandoning me
The next day, Luo Yu made her debut on Yibi Wanqing, using the alias Song Ying. She introduced herself as Song Yan's adopted daughter and a civilian.
Bao Jian personally changed Luo Yu's makeup so that her face looked different from before to avoid being recognized by regular customers.
With her superb piano skills and stunning appearance, she attracted many spectators who visited the teahouse to watch her live performance.
Out of nowhere, a daughter of Lord Song appeared. The audience did not believe her and many questioned whether Luo Yu's identity was fake. Song Yan, together with his guards, went to Yibi Wanqing in person to support his daughter's live broadcast.
With such a big fuss, if Song Yan had pretended to be an official appointed by the imperial court, he would have been arrested in an instant. But now he is safe and sound. Everyone knows that this Lord Song is the real thing without a doubt.
From this, we can imagine that Ms. Song’s identity is absolutely true.
Doting on an adopted daughter as if she were his own daughter, Song Yan's move has caused the audience to speculate: Song's daughter is most likely the daughter of Mr. Song's concubine. In the future, when he finds an opportunity, who knows, Mr. Song will recognize her as his own daughter, or call her his adopted daughter. In short, Song's daughter is like a phoenix, and she will rise to prominence sooner or later.
The rumor was spreading like wildfire, and Song Yan did not deny it, which made Luo Yu's fans even more excited.
Bao Jian made a fortune, and Yibiwanqing quickly established himself in Shuying County and became famous.
Distinguished guests came in an endless stream. When Luo Yu went off the air, she received thousands and tens of thousands of messages, almost piling up into a mountain.
Luo Yu, as always, replied to every message.
Bao Jian couldn't bear to tire her out, and repeatedly reminded her that she only needed to reply to the fans on the list and ignore the rest. If they were dissatisfied, they could use "gifts" and "votes" to speak.
Luo Yu listened halfway and responded to the fans on the list first, and then, diligently, responded to everyone who left a message.
Bao Jian advised that if you do this, firstly, the big brother on the list will not receive special treatment when he gives gifts, which will make him feel unbalanced and stop spending money; secondly, the audience will think that they can communicate with you without giving gifts, and thus enjoy the fun for free. In the end, fewer and fewer people gave gifts.
Luo Yu insisted on her own way and refused to listen to advice.
As it turned out, Bao Jian was wrong.
Luo Yu's hard work and sincerity moved many passers-by, who sent her live broadcast gifts one after another. Seeing this, the fans who were already on the list deeply believed that Luo Yu was very different from other anchors in that she was friendly with them and had pure feelings for them without any money-seeking attitude.
Some even commented on Luo Yu: "Watching live broadcasts for fun is no different from wandering around a brothel, but I never expected to encounter a pure lotus in the mud, with a beauty that is as charming as a brothel, and a connotation that is more elegant than that of a lady."
Although Luo Yu is exhausted from maintaining her fans, she has gained a number of loyal fans. Even when Luo Yu is not live streaming, there will be people showing up in the teahouse and giving gifts in an empty venue.
After the first live broadcast, there were a lot of messages, each word expressed love, each sentence expressed nostalgia, some showed extraordinary talents, some showed their wealthy family background, it seems that there are many tricks, but in fact, the mood is the same. What you think and what you think is love.
Among them, only one person was different from the others.
The man said: "I have relatives at home, and I have a place to express my feelings, but I lack a close friend. If Miss Song is also interested in making a close friend, we might as well get to know each other. Unfortunately, I am short of money and I really can't afford to give a gift. I apologize for any disturbance."
There was only this person, and his expression was simple and sincere, as if he had no ulterior motives. Luo Yu was very surprised and looked forward to making a real close friend.
She guessed that this fan might be a woman, so she had no romantic feelings but only wanted friendship.
This was the first time she gained a female fan.
She couldn't wait to know her fan's maiden name, so she looked at the signature, but saw only the name of her residence: Jianglianshe, North Street, Shuying County.
It seems that this fan is usually very cautious and does not reveal his name easily when interacting with others.
Luo Yu respected the fans' habits and did not ask too many questions. She simply replied: I am interested in making a close friend, thank you for not abandoning me.
When Zhuang Wei received the reply, he was so overjoyed that he couldn't sleep all night and didn't feel tired at all.
The next day, he arrived on time as a spectator to watch Luo Yu's live broadcast.
Bao Jian quickly noticed Zhuang Wei sitting in the corner.
He didn't show any anger on the surface, but he was full of disgust in his heart.
This person was here yesterday.
Sitting for half a day without even ordering a pot of tea, how could there be such a shameless person in the world?
While thinking about this, Bao Jian walked towards Zhuang Wei, forced a smile, and made an excuse to leave.
"We have so many guests in our small shop that we can't accommodate them all. There are already guests waiting outside. If you have finished your refreshments, please give up your seat to someone in need."
Zhuang Wei glanced at him.
"The tea hasn't been served yet, so how can we finish it? Go away, don't bother me."
Bao Jian cleverly changed his strategy.
"How can we serve tea if you haven't ordered it?"
"Excuse me, sir, what kind of snacks do you like? I am not talented, but I am willing to serve you some tea."
Zhuang Wei saw through the plan at a glance and easily defeated it.
"Give it to me for free?"
Seeing that he didn't fall into the trap, Bao Jian frowned.
"Your Excellency is joking."
"After you have your refreshments and gifts, you must go to the front desk to settle the bill."
Zhuang Wei took the initiative.
"Then I won't order it, and I won't send it."
"You are not trying to force me to buy or sell, are you?"
Bao Jian was horrified and quickly denied it.
"Your words are important, but I dare not."
He had no choice but to continue to drive them away.
"In this case, please give up your seat."
Zhuang Wei was confident.
“Why give up your seat?”
"Does the law state that if you don't order tea or bring gifts, you can't sit in a teahouse?"
Bao Jian's smile gradually became stiff.
“There is no such statement.”
Zhuang Wei questioned.
"Then what right do you have to force me to give up my seat?"
Bao Jian explained the reason for expelling the guests, leaving no room for criticism, and at the same time, his words contained a hint of threat.
"Please don't misunderstand me, my lord."
"I am just worried that the distinguished guest outside the door might get angry and start a dispute with you."
"There are many prominent and wealthy people among the candidates. It will be of no benefit to the nobles to offend them."
"My sincere concern is all out of good intentions, please understand."
Zhuang Wei sat in an unrestrained posture, looking fearless.
"If you want to drive me away, go ask Miss Song to speak up. Otherwise, be careful that I will write a petition and make you pay for it."
"Back off."
Bao Jian was helpless and felt depressed.
"Yes."
Zhuang Wei suddenly called him.
"Wait a moment."
Bao Jian stopped and turned around.
"Please give your orders, my lord."
Zhuang Wei was unruly. He took out a coin and threw it on the ground on purpose.
"Give."
Seeing the act of sending the beggar away, Bao Jian became furious.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly, but one copper coin is not enough for the gift, and I can't buy tea."
"Excuse me, what do you want, sir?"
In order to retaliate for the harm done to Luo Yu, Zhuang Wei acted contemptuously and spoke casually.
"For your reward."
"Kneel down and pick it up."
"A copper coin with an empty heart is like a person without conscience. Good things go with good people. Please accept them."
Bao Jian felt deeply wronged, his body trembling with anger, he knelt down to accept the humiliation and picked up the copper coin.
"Thank you for your generous reward."
Zhuang Wei looked away, disdainful.
"You're welcome. Get out of my sight."
Bao Jian gritted his teeth and responded.
"Yes."
