Chapter 186 - 186 71 Multi-Purpose Abstract Double Benefits from One Fish_2

186: Chapter 71: Multi-Purpose Abstract, Double Benefits from One Fish_2 186: Chapter 71: Multi-Purpose Abstract, Double Benefits from One Fish_2 Tonight, not only did Temir give him a hard time, but the abstract shenanigans in the live stream left him utterly numb.

“Don’t you know why I am unhappy today?”

When a girlfriend asks this question, what she cares about isn’t whether you know she’s unhappy.

In most cases, the girl who asks this question is just expecting some action from you, to make her feel that you really care about her.

Unhappiness is just an outcome.

Answering this kind of question, if you only focus on the outcome and thoughtlessly take the cause of the unhappiness as the answer, then you’re just digging a hole for yourself.

Cheng Daqi was well aware that if he really guessed why the black-haired rich lady was unhappy, Temir would only become unhappier.

The next question would be “You knew…and you still…”

Because of such emotional logic, a normal response most of the time could only yield very negative returns.

So, CEO Cheng first smiled, served the black-haired rich lady a stuffed eggplant with beef, and then said,

“Mi’er, after all, I am someone who is in America for the first time.

You’re clear on what I’ve been busy with recently, and I am under a lot of pressure.

Your presence tonight was as a friend giving me face, but I indeed failed to host you properly, which is my inadequacy.

In Hua Country, there is a saying, ’emotions are all in the drink,’ Scott, fill it up for me!”

A string of words explained the reasons, showed an attitude, and offered an action.

Reason: It’s my first time in America, it’s tough, I’m under a lot of pressure, I didn’t host you properly.

Until now, Cheng Daqi wasn’t sure how much of Temir’s anger was due to his ‘using sincerity as a tool’ and how much was because she lost in a fashion clash.

He was still unaware of the magnitude of the offense he’d just committed, unaware that his action of seeking out Lisa alone truly gave the black-haired rich lady a very unpleasant feeling.

Therefore, he could only use a shallow, small error that could be casually glossed over to replace the mistake that actually mattered to Temir.

Attitude: You came because you really consider me as a friend, I didn’t do a good job, that’s my fault.

Attitude is important, and Cheng Daqi’s attitude was to admit there was a problem — he admitted he made a small mistake.

Measure: According to Hua Country’s tradition, drink a toast as an apology.

Inside the live stream, the interpreter translated what Cheng Daqi said in English into Hua language, and immediately, the comment section exploded.

‘I knew he was scripted, with the way he speaks, how could he possibly end up homeless?

If I could speak like him, would I not have been promoted from a security guard after six years?’

‘What’s the relationship between Beggar King and this woman?

He says she’s his investor, but the tone of her questions doesn’t sound like an investor’s.’

‘Holy cow, his waiters are all foreigners, has Beggar King really made it big?’

‘That’s for sure, from now on we should call him Governor of California.

He now has beautiful women, a luxury house, and over a hundred thousand fans.

He’s surpassed most people in the world.’

The blond veteran grabbed the red wine brought by Eris and poured it vigorously into Cheng Daqi’s glass.

He understood sincerity and filled Cheng Daqi’s wine glass in seconds.

Looking at the full glass, Cheng Daqi felt a bit of a tingle in his scalp.

Aren’t you being a bit too earnest, brother Tortoise?

“Isn’t that a bit too much, Chan?

How about you drink less?

I’m afraid…”

Temir placed her fingers together, tilted her head slightly, and watched Cheng Daqi with a smile.

She loved the feeling of keeping Cheng Daqi unsettled.

Just now, she had successfully teased Cheng Daqi and had vented her frustration.

That question was a test, just as Cheng Daqi tested others, the black-haired rich lady also tested him.

And surprisingly, the test was quite successful.

Cheng Daqi’s little tricks in his words, she saw them very clearly, but the black-haired rich lady was already very satisfied.

After all, the black-haired rich lady was not a little fairy, and she wouldn’t really think of herself as Cheng Daqi’s girlfriend.

Even if there were many emotions, she wouldn’t endlessly take them out on Cheng Daqi.

Temir is a rich lady, not a shrew.

Moreover, Cheng Daqi had indeed been very tired these past few days.

Thinking of this, the black-haired rich lady continued,

“I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable if you drink too much.”

Realizing that his previous words had had an effect, Cheng Daqi seized the opportunity to back down.

“How about this, I’ll still have a drink, but half a glass to apologize to you, and half a glass as a toast to the fans in the live stream.”

Switching his spoken language to Hua language seamlessly, Cheng Daqi looked into the camera and began his performance.

“Many viewers might have the wrong impression of me, thinking that I am actually begging in America, let me clarify here.

A few days ago, I really was begging for a living in America!

In life, there’s always the unexpected, and I just had a little mishap, that’s all.

Now, I’ve also kinda found my footing in America, so thanks to the friends who have supported and encouraged me during this time—I raise a glass to all of you.”

Cheng Daqi’s words silenced the audience in the livestream.

It’s the same old story, sincerity is the ultimate trump card; paired with action, it’s unbeatable.

How many streamers verbally treat their viewers and fans like family, but in reality, can’t even muster a performance?

Taking a full glass, Cheng Daqi downed it in one go and belched.

Temir picked up a napkin, gently wiping the corner of his mouth for him.

With a little drink, Cheng Daqi had the viewers in the livestream barking like dogs again.

Comments were flying fast.

‘Buddy, we thought you were a clown, but you’re pretty open-hearted.’

‘Now you’ve got a beauty as an investor by your side, serving you food and wiping your mouth— I want to experience the “setbacks” of your life too.’

‘Seeing your glamorous life, I feel a bit hurt, what should I do?’

Cool as a cucumber!

Cheng Daqi’s performance was just a ploy; he needed his fans to bring commercial value to his account.

But he didn’t have the slightest intention of thanking his fans, at least not yet.

Those so-called encouragements and supports from ‘fans’ were mostly curses, insults, and jibes from haters.

To have any gratitude towards these haters would be idiotic for Cheng Daqi.

“Alright, folks, I’m going to greet the other friends who have come by, and then we’ll start the livestream dance party!

I’ll leave the livestream camera here in this spot.

I’ll have this beautiful investor keep you company for a while.”

Leaving the livestream camera to Temir, Cheng Daqi whispered to her quietly.

“Mi’er, your account will operate on this platform in the future.

I’ve spent a hundred thousand Hua currency today to buy traffic; there are tens of thousands of viewers right now.

You can chat with them first.

If you can make a strong impression, perhaps when you officially start operating your account, today’s viewers will follow you.”

It was still the same tactic of killing two birds with one stone; Cheng Daqi had anticipated this moment even before the livestream started.

To increase his followers and grow his account, the raven-haired rich woman had given a whooping twenty thousand dollars upfront, with more to come in the future.

Through today’s livestream, Cheng Daqi could not only begin his account transformation but also create a service experience of his devoted assistance for Temir.

Killing two birds with one stone, profiting at both ends.

Just some basic maneuvers.

Hearing Cheng Daqi’s words, Temir’s gaze shifted from a relaxed casual look to a focused one.

As a top elite among America’s elite and a successful entrepreneur, Temir wasn’t afraid of being on a livestream.

“I can’t understand the comments they’re posting, though?”

But no one is perfect; the raven-haired rich woman didn’t understand Hua language, the only thing she felt uncomfortable with.

“No worries, just speak English, slow down a bit, and they will respond to you in English.”

He patted Temir’s shoulder, giving her instructions before he left.

Cheng Daqi had confidence in the educational level of Hua Country over the years.

Zhao Hongjin understood what Cheng Daqi had just said; she didn’t understand why Cheng Daqi would tell the viewers in the livestream he had been “begging.”

CEO Cheng, isn’t your social circle all about fine French cuisine and the company of beauties?

Is that what you call begging?

Plus, didn’t you just start a new company back home a few days ago?

Even with a lost passport and entry documents, it shouldn’t have come to begging on the streets, right?

Weren’t you going to the embassy to deal with identity verification?

It can only be said that Cheng Daqi had previously established a perfect persona with Zhao Hongjin, deeply ingrained in her mind.

Cheng Daqi wasn’t worried about being exposed.

Back home, he had Shanhaiguan Media, and an overseas branch was about to be established too.

No matter how you looked at it, Cheng Daqi could now live up to the image of a ‘promising young entrepreneur.’

Even if Zhao Hongjin saw through him now, he had the capability to handle it.
