The Young Matriarch

Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Bai Chuwei Will Not Face Such Difficulties
 

Tong Qingyan, with over a million followers as a video host, naturally had her own fan groups, amounting to more than fifty.

She briefly checked and found that people in almost every group were discussing the Immortal Teacher, with many students sharing pictures of their vocabulary test results.

Tong Qingyan’s heart turned cold. What if… what if that big shot streamed live every night, exactly when she did her own live broadcasts—then who would watch her?

She had made one or two videos these past couple of days, but the view counts weren’t as high as before.

Her fans would go to that Immortal Teacher to heap on the flattery whenever they could.

Tong Qingyan’s mind suddenly went blank. What should she do next?

If she didn’t react soon, she wouldn’t be able to fulfill the bet agreement and would have to pay a fortune in compensation—until death!

It would be adding insult to injury for the entire Tong Family…!

Tong Qingyan listened to the screams of her aunt, Tong Yunrou, coming from the study from a severe heart attack and the sound of her father throwing his chopsticks because the meal wasn’t to his liking—her brain buzzing.

How difficult. Could her life get any harder?

Tong Qingyan almost burst into tears as she lay on the desk. Choking back sobs, she took out her phone to call Duan Feihan.

Since her aunt almost married into the Duan Family, she naturally had the contact information for everyone in the Duan Family, from top to bottom.

“Hello?”

As soon as Tong Qingyan heard the cold but polite voice on the other end, her nose tingled and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Duan Feihan frowned, his voice remaining cold as he continued, “Hello? May I ask who this is?”

These words struck her like a critical hit!

Tong Qingyan nearly fell apart, sobbing, “Fourth, Fourth Master, I am Qingyan, Tong Qingyan!”

Why didn’t he know it was her calling?

Duan Feihan’s gaze was indifferent. He thought that after his third brother refused the marriage alliance with the Tong Family, the link between their two families should have been severed.

So why was she calling him?

“What do you need?”

Tong Qingyan sobbed, “Fourth Master, could you help me? You know…”

Duan Feihan recalled the report sent from Xianyu Video a couple of days ago and interrupted calmly, “I hear you’ve signed a bet agreement with my Xianyu Video, which has been allocating many resources to push you and provided you with business support.”

“I am a businessman, only concerned with interests.”

Tong Qingyan, wiping her tears, asked through her sobs, “Fourth Master, if Bai Chuwei were in trouble today, would you still calmly talk to me about how a businessman only cares about interests?”

Duan Feihan: “No.”

“She wouldn’t be facing such trouble.”

Bai Chuwei was even more capable than him.

Duan Feihan coolly stated, “Miss Tong, instead of crying and pleading with me, it’s better you find a way to fulfill the bet agreement. Do not call me again in the future.”

The phone was hung up ruthlessly, leaving Tong Qingyanunable to breathe.

She lay sobbing on the desk, feeling like her heartfelt sincerity had been cruelly trampled under Duan Feihan’s feet…

The next day, Bai Chuwei went to school, and, as expected, everyone in class was discussing the Immortal Teacher, with vivid descriptions as if they had met him in person.

Bai Chuwei had just sat down, yet to even put her backpack away when she heard Xu Xingchen not far away, “What’s this about an Immortal Teacher you’re all discussing? I watched his video early this morning; I didn’t think it was anything special.”

“Could it be an overhyped marketing?”

The Xianyu Video app was owned by his great-uncle Duan Feihan—what kind of person was Duan Feihan? A well-known money-maker.

His marketing strategies were unmatched by anyone.
