Chapter 116 Self-indulgent
"Where do you get the confidence to think I'd worry about you?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Yichen's mocking voice followed.
His expression was indifferent, showing no sign of anything amiss.
I suddenly felt a tightness in my chest, a feeling of intense suffocation.
Before I could answer, Jiang Yichen continued.
"I haven't tormented you enough yet, how could I bear to let you die so easily?"
My heart ached more and more as I watched him hesitate, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
It seems he just wants to cause me more trouble.
I was being too naive; how could he possibly be worried about me?
It turns out I was just being delusional.
I looked up and met his gaze, then argued with him confidently.
"Since you're not worried about my safety, then unblock the live stream. My live stream just now didn't violate any rules."
Jiang Yichen just sneered and didn't take my words to heart.
He spoke up as a matter of course.
“You are the company’s anchor, and your behavior represents the company. What you just did damaged the company’s image.”
Hearing this, I knew he wouldn't stop the live stream, and my dissatisfaction with him grew even stronger.
I didn't do anything wrong.
But he still keeps causing me trouble.
Are we ordinary people not allowed to defend our rights?
Facing him, I couldn't vent my anger.
I suppressed my displeasure and continued arguing with him.
"In that case, you shouldn't keep thinking about these things that could cause misunderstandings. I don't want Lin Nan to make things difficult for me because of this."
But who would have thought that as soon as I said those words, Jiang Yichen almost instinctively defended Lin Nan.
"Lin Nan is not that kind of person."
The bitterness in my heart grew stronger. In the past, Jiang Yichen always put me first and favored me in every way.
But now this favoritism has been transferred to someone else.
It's all because I realized it too late.
There was no time to think about any of that. My account was temporarily banned, so I had nothing to do. I had to fight for it.
"What do you want in return for letting me continue streaming? If I don't stream, I won't have any money to pay you back."
Seeing my softened attitude, Jiang Yichen was not as tough as before.
After some thought, he put forward his idea.
"Three conditions. First, you must report to me beforehand and get my approval before you can go."
"Secondly, you can no longer continue live streaming. When it comes to matters concerning the suspect, you should honestly stream your own content."
"Third, you will continue your studies."
Actually, upon closer reflection, all three conditions proposed by Jiang Yichen were for my benefit.
Without much thought, I readily agreed, "I can agree to all of that. I can do the live stream while attending school."
I relented, and Jiang Yichen didn't press the matter any further.
After receiving my answer, Jiang Yichen's brows relaxed slightly.
"I will arrange bodyguards for you and continue to accompany you in your studies."
I readily agreed to Jiang Yichen's arrangement and asked him to unlock the live stream room for me.
After leaving Jiang Yichen's office, I started the live stream.
Only after the fans gradually entered the live stream did I slowly reveal my plans.
After learning that I was going to study while doing live streams, they all chose to support me.
My longtime fans, in particular, are genuinely happy for me.
I told them about my future plans, and they respected my choice.
After explaining things to the fans, I went to see Lao Mo again.
When I went to see Lao Mo, he was looking at my sales performance for the month.
He didn't know my live stream had been unblocked; he thought I was coming to him for advice.
Before I could even speak, he offered words of comfort.
"Gu Mo, don't worry. Your performance this month is pretty good. You won't be at the bottom. As for the live stream room, I will apply to the higher-ups to have it unblocked."
Seeing how concerned he was about me, I couldn't help but smile and tell him what had just happened.
"My live stream has been unblocked, but I made a deal with Jiang Yichen. From now on, I can only work part-time and study part-time. Please help me reschedule my live stream time."
Hearing my words, Lao Mo was inevitably a little surprised, but he readily agreed.
"As long as the lockdown is lifted, I'll take care of the time-related issues for you."
With his words, I finally felt at ease.
Just then, Old Mo couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed, you are still so young. Continuing your studies will give you a better future."
Knowing that Lao Mo was thinking of me in every way, I sincerely thanked him.
After explaining everything, I went straight home.
This period of live streaming has been a special experience for me.
But having made this latest decision, I also need to explain it to my family.
As soon as I got home, I saw my parents and my brother sitting in the living room.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Gu Bai, are you off today?"
After he said that, the expressions of the three of them became somewhat subtle, but I didn't notice.
Without much thought, I sat down next to them and told them my decision.
"Mom and Dad, I've decided to continue my studies."
As soon as I said that, my parents became worried.
My mother, in particular, kept sighing.
"Momo, you know our family's situation. We might not be able to afford the tuition."
I had already thought of this, and I reassured my parents.
"It's okay, Mom and Dad, you don't need to worry about the tuition."
Even so, their mood did not improve at all.
My dad couldn't help but ask, "Momo, what's your plan? And what about our family's debts if you don't work? And your brother too..."
I was halfway through my sentence when I realized I'd let something slip, so I quickly stopped and tried to change the subject.
"Never mind, Mom and Dad support your decision."
Even though they didn't say it outright, I realized something was wrong.
I quickly pressed for details, "What happened to Gu Bai? What's wrong?"
When I pressed him for details, my brother finally told me what had happened.
It turns out that because he was kidnapped and missed work, the company found a pretext to fire him.
Thinking about all this, I immediately became furious.
My brother was fired; this is clearly the company bullying him.
The company even gave a high-sounding reason: he was injured and unable to complete his work.
Isn't this clearly shifting all the problems onto our family?
I absolutely cannot swallow this insult.
I've made time to go to their company and get an explanation.
However, my brother and I went to the company to seek redress several times, but all we got was a perfunctory response from them.
Left with no other choice, I approached Qin Lei, whom Zhong Junhao had introduced to me.
I want him to help me protect my brother's legal rights.
This is considered a civil dispute.
After Qin Lei helped us collect all the evidence, he directly filed a lawsuit against my brother's company.
Because we had ample evidence and the company was in the wrong to begin with, we won this case easily.
