Chapter 121: Chapter 76: What Is the Ultimate Dog?!_4
Su Huai entered from the side door, casually greeted Li Chengguo, and then went out with the list and notepad in hand.
He needed to calculate the cost, profit, and material shortfall of retail sales, and determine the allocation of materials for tonight.
Today’s sales might explode to over 80,000, with a net profit of around 45,000.
Throughout the entire sales period, he could bring in at least seven or eight hundred thousand in income.
It wasn’t much, but a simple business that triumphs through strategy alone, earning two hundred thousand was like picking it up for free.
Earning more was not only improbable but unnecessary; once he had the initial funds, he could start exploiting the platform.
Su Huai had just sat down in a corner spot for not even two minutes when two girls passed by him, and his peripheral vision caught a figure that felt strangely familiar.
As he looked up, he was momentarily stunned.
A baggy hip-hop T-shirt, the “missing bottom” style, solid and strong pale legs, topped with a duckbill cap.
The figure didn’t reveal much beauty, but those fox-like eyes and the beauty mark were unmistakably distinctive.
As she passed by, a fresh and pure scent of perfume wafted over.
Was it “A Drop of Water” by Issey Miyake?
Due to work reasons, he had some understanding of commonly used cosmetics and perfumes for ladies, though not particularly familiar, so he wasn’t certain.
But regardless of whether it was “A Drop of Water” or not, the refined fragrance couldn’t be mistaken.
Really interesting…
So this was her style in real life?
Su Huai looked up with interest and, coincidentally, she and her girlfriend seemed to deliberately choose a corner, sitting at a table diagonally in front of him, sipping sour plum juice and chatting away.
“How is it, how is it? Yuyu, is it good?”
Pei Shuyu bit her straw and took a sip, her face filled with helplessness: “You dragged me over here just for a sour plum drink?”
“Yeah! It’s the hottest thing on campus right now! And that new campus beauty seems to be working at this shop…”
Pei Shuyu grew more helpless: “But what does that have to do with me?”
“I’m just not convinced! Why does she get to be the campus beauty? Our beautiful Yuyu hasn’t even said a word…”
Pei Shuyu shook her head and didn’t argue with her friend, reached into her bag for her phone, and opened WeChat.
A few seconds later, Su Huai’s phone dinged with a new WeChat message.
Gou Huai instinctively looked up at her, and sure enough, Pei Shuyu also instinctively turned her head, glanced at Su Huai, and then silently diverted her attention back.
During that fleeting eye contact, Su Huai saw a serene indifference, and he too, relying on his acting skills from the other party, showed a bit of the normal astonishment one has for a beautiful woman.
And then there was no more.
Pei Shuyu didn’t think too much about it, because the information gap was one-sided.
People send WeChat messages, and you receive them; even if it happens at the same time, a normal person wouldn’t connect the two together.
No fear, continue to stay undercover!
Su Huai lowered his head again, turned his phone to silent, and then checked the message.
“Turbid Dog, are you there?”
After a needless greeting, a shared post quickly followed.
“Today, I went back to school with my girlfriend to eat, and I bought a cup of homemade sour plum juice made by the herbal medicine shop. It tastes really good.”

“Not sure if it’s hot over there with you? Remember to keep cool!”
Su Huai silently broke into a sweat.
Lucky that he was quick to react and muted the alert, or else her every message would have pinged his phone, how weird would that be?
As he was considering how to reply, her girlfriend suddenly asked Pei Shuyu with a gossiping tone.
“Is it a message to Turbid Dog?”
Huh?
Was this little girlfriend lurking in the live stream chat too? Seems like she knows a lot…
Su Huai silently recalled the active users in the live stream, quickly identifying a secondary rich account called Yuyan.
She had a pair of lively and expressive big eyes, a somewhat baby-fat face, both cute and clever.
“Mhm.”
Pei Shuyu nodded lightly, her expression tinged with a wistful sigh: “Turbid Dog is somewhat aloof offline, and goes to bed early. Up to now, I still haven’t found the opportunity to properly communicate with him…”
“Whaaat~~~ I thought you hated maintaining big brothers offline the most? You always used to complain to me about it!”
Yuyan mocked her mercilessly, and Pei Shuyu defended herself, annoyed: “He’s different!”
“How is he different? Does he spend money more freely?”
“No.” Pei Shuyu shook her head, almost speaking to herself in a trance, “He has a better sense of boundary and discretion. You’ve never streamed; you don’t understand…”
“Tsk!”
Yuyan wrinkled her nose, “I’m not like I’ve never chat on your behalf! What’s there for me not to understand?”
Well, damn!
Su Huai quietly exclaimed ‘well, damn’, feeling like they were in the same line of work after all!?
When Gou Huai was an operator, he had also chatted on behalf of streamers.
However, it wasn’t for maintaining Top Supporter, but for routine posts in fan groups.
No streamer would let an operator maintain their high-spending big supporters for them, but some schemes targeting nouveau riche players were truly the result of collective effort.
Some small-time players who didn’t spend much but caused a lot of trouble and loved flirting were forever unaware that screenshots of their flirtatious private chats often appeared in the streamer and operator groups, prompting laughter or a barrage of complaints from everyone.
Just what Su Huai had personally witnessed, “Stop streaming and come to my city, I’ll pay you fifty thousand a month,” followed by a screenshot showing a few wealthy or even noob player ranks — such ridiculous comments numbered in the hundreds.
And this was only what he had seen; the undisclosed amount was a hundredfold greater.
So, Su Huai’s sense of propriety and boundaries was actually honed through his work experience.
Without those various outlandish cases, given his past emotional quotient, he wouldn’t have had a clue about what streamers found most annoying.
The joys of rebirth manifested at every detailed moment.
“Alright, alright! You’re the best!”
Pei Shuyu cajoled Yuyan like she was soothing a child, then asked, “Quick, help me analyze, how should I get close to Turbid Dog?”
“Post a photo fresh out of the shower?”
Yuyan’s suggestion was lethal.
Su Huai almost wanted to stand up and applaud — alright, alright, this is especially good!
As a result, the friend who made a good suggestion nearly got hit.
“Be serious, I’m really annoyed!”
Yuyan quickly reined in his silly grin, puzzled he asked, “12 days to reach the legend rank. It looks like neither Xichu Overlord nor Turbid Dog need you to pay them back. If I were you, I could be grinning like a fool. So what’s bothering you?”
Su Huai understood: These two sisters had completely different personalities, quite complementary, but no one could empathize with the other.
All of a sudden, Pei Shuyu flopped down at the table, dispirited, “He’s not replying to my WeChat messages. I neither know what he likes about me nor how long he’ll like me. So what do you think I’m annoyed about?”
Su Huai looked down at his phone’s WeChat chat interface and a mischievous smile crept onto his face.
He silently typed, “Feeling down?”
Pei Shuyu’s phone buzzed quickly; she hurried to unlock it and took a glance—just one glance was enough to nearly make her jump out of her skin.
“Yanyan, look quickly! Turbid Dog is simply divine!”
“Let me see… Damn!”
Yuyan also glanced at the screen, then let out a shocked exclamation, as he and Pei Shuyu stared at each other, wide-eyed.
“You were clearly sharing happy news. How could he sense it?”
“I don’t know, it’s so magical…”
“Then reply like this: ‘Why do you say that?'”
Su Huai immediately typed with the fastest speed and sent, “Aren’t you curious why I’m asking this?”
Pei Shuyu was pondering over whether her reply was appropriate when a new message arrived. She looked closely, and it made her feel completely numb.
“Yanyan…”
“Hmm?”
“Do you think there’s a chance…”
“What is it?”
“That actually, Turbid Dog is one of our schoolteachers?”
Pfft!
Gou Huai almost laughed out loud.
Pei Shuyu’s wild guess was simply brilliant!
But if that’s what you’re thinking, I just might tease you a bit, huh…
At this moment, Gou Huai’s playful side was more active than ever before.
********
After searching through the book club leaderboard to the 70s, it was not easy to find this Miss Lonely Seedling.
Yuyan, if you’re willing to cameo, please leave a surname.
If it doesn’t suit you, I’ll come up with a formal name to replace the live broadcast room ID later.
For other top supporters who’d like a cameo, please tag Jiu Si in the group.
What do you think?
