The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead
Chapter 355 - 353 Swindler

Chapter 355: Chapter 353 Swindler

The small wooden house, under Fu Yunhe’s cajoling, had Rubble and Ha Ha obediently busy with their tasks, with no slip-ups occurring.

Everyone else was fairly well-behaved, and Fu Yunhe wasn’t too worried for the moment.

However, there was one issue that proved to be somewhat troublesome - the matter of the seeds mentioned yesterday.

Logically, the seeds should have been arranged to be shipped out today, and there should have been a group of people receiving the slips of sweet potato and sugarcane seedlings.

But, with Nian Shutong not at home, there was nothing.

Fu Yunhe looked at the sky, silently praying: Please, come back soon!

Unfortunately, Nian Shutong was still mining at the moment, in a vein so rich she couldn’t bear to leave until it was exhausted.

All Fu Yunhe could do was pray for Nian Shutong to return quickly, and it was during one such prayer that he received a message from the live broadcast administrator, Liu Cheng.

"Mr. Xiao He, is it possible to find another administrator?"

Liu Cheng had definitely been working to the point of exhaustion this entire night, with nine hundred million netizens sending him their addresses in private messages to the point of feeling sick.

Yet, for the sake of Little River Live, he continued with full enthusiasm; only, he felt that he couldn’t manage it all on his own.

Upon seeing Liu Cheng’s message, Fu Yunhe immediately delegated authority.

"Recruit your own team, as many people as necessary."

With just one sentence, Liu Cheng felt the immense trust Mr. Xiao He had placed in him, and he resolved to be very cautious with this matter.

He absolutely couldn’t cause any trouble for Mr. Xiao He, he must find those who were truly devoted.

At the same time, Liu Cheng also received a special software sent over by Mr. Xiao He, which contained instructions.

"Hang this software on the announcement section of the live broadcast room, and let everyone fill in their addresses themselves, so it won’t expose their personal information."

Liu Cheng read the instructions twice, ensuring he had got the intended meaning right!

This way, he wouldn’t need to collect addresses through private messages one by one.

Did he still need to hire people?

Liu Cheng was conflicted, but in the end, he decided to hire two more people. The growth of Little River Live should naturally require more staff.

As the fifth largest live broadcast, they couldn’t just have him alone.

Privately, Liu Cheng did want to maintain his unique, sole status, but recruitment was urgent for the long-term development of Little River Live.

So, he resolved to recruit!

Liu Cheng started his own selection plan, quietly beginning to choose people.

At this time, Nian Shutong was mining.

Fu Yunhe was arranging everything for the small wooden house.

Liu Cheng was silently picking out the most loyal fans.

And on the Star Network, many people were awaiting news from Little River Live.

Yesterday’s Little River Live broadcast boldly promised to send sweet potato slips and sugarcane seeds to nine hundred million fans.

This piece of news had even startled the Crown Prince, the Empress, and the Emperor of the Royal Family.

If these seeds truly existed, they could potentially change the dire eating and drinking situation in the interstellar community to some extent.

Therefore, everyone was waiting to see if people really did receive the seedlings.

Logically, someone should have received them by noon today, at the very latest by tonight.

With the Royal Family paying attention, the Nian Family, who sold the sugarcane, couldn’t be more disturbed.

The Family Head of the Nian Family had not slept all night; he was pondering, if nine hundred million people could grow sugarcane, then what was the purpose of the Nian Family’s existence?

Where should the Nian Family go from here?

And what exactly was Little River Live, capable of distributing so many seedlings?

Even the Chi Family didn’t dare to claim they could send seedlings to over nine hundred million people.

At this time, the Chi Family was also watching and waiting.

They weren’t ignorant; they understood much more.

If Little River Live truly could provide so many seeds, then their position would only be more secure, as the Royal Family wouldn’t allow anyone to undermine them.

The Royal Family had always wanted to address the fundamental issue of food and drink, but seeds were indeed very scarce, and it wasn’t that the Chi Family deliberately inflated prices.

Of course, they did raise them a bit, but they were also severely restricted.

Their seed yield was low, and the seeds they saved were degrading, getting worse with each generation.

Hence, the issue of food and drink had become an extravagance.

Now, all eyes were on Little River Live.

Everyone was waiting, even if it was only for a single shard of sugarcane seed and not the more important staples like rice seeds. This was a start, an emblem of hope.

Perhaps Little River Live had special cultivation methods that could yield a large amount of seeds?

As time ticked away, it had reached noon, and the small wooden house had begun to eat lunch.

Ha Ha asked his usual question, "Is the good person back yet?"

Fu Yunhe replied as always, "She’ll be back soon."

Ha Ha lowered his head to eat, but he was thinking to himself, Xiao He doesn’t seem to understand time very well; how long exactly is ’soon’?

Rubble didn’t speak, because while Ms. Nian Shutong was out earning money, it wasn’t appropriate to disturb her.

At noon on Star Network, doubts began to surface.

The matter of Little River Live giving away seedlings to nine hundred million people continuously topped the trending search.

It seemed as if the other topics on the list didn’t dare to be too hot, keeping a tacit agreement to not surpass the "seedlings giveaway" and were quietly surviving below that trending topic.

Under the number one trending topic, the comments section began to gather opinions.

"Has anyone received the seedlings?"

"I don’t know, probably not?"

"If someone has received them, please come out and let everyone know."

"It feels like really no one has received them. Our whole family is watching this, the whole interstellar community is watching, who could keep quiet?"

"Then there’s only one conclusion, Little River Live didn’t ship anything."

"Didn’t Mr. Xiao He say he would ship everything within two months?"

"Are you an idiot? Two months’ time is already very pressing, we’re talking about over nine hundred million parcels!"

"Yes, even with no sleep, it would take a very long time."

"Mr. Xiao He won’t go back on his word, right?"

"I think they’re just false advertising, seeking attention and courting their own destruction."

"Could you cultured people from above keep it low-key; I can’t understand."

"I still want to believe in Mr. Xiao He, he’s never let us down."

"Yes, I also want to believe."

The comments section split into three factions.

One firmly believed, another accused them of being scammers, while another was indecisive.

Not just these netizens were paying attention - the Royal Family was also discussing this matter.

In the back garden, it was still the family of three.

The Empress, holding a copy of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," flipped through a few pages before gently closing it.

"I don’t think they will go back on their word; there must have been some delay."

"Your Highness also believes that, according to their usual way of doing things, they won’t go back on their word."

On the other side, the Emperor, who had been closing his eyes, sighed as he opened them.

"My perception is getting weaker, when do you plan on ascending to the throne, Crown Prince?"
