"How many autographs do we have..." Sasha held up two fingers, "Twenty autographed items and chibi badges, which are given away as a free gift with any purchase made in my live stream, so what are you waiting for, my darlings? Add them to your cart now!"
[Twenty portions are simply not enough to get!]
[One more thing, a signature!]
Tang Doudou always spoils her fans. "It's okay, your teacher Xu and I have already discussed it. We'll stay here signing autographs all night until the broadcast ends. We'll sign as many as we can."
[Hahaha, Tang Dou actually calls Teacher Xu too!]
[Look at Teacher Xu! She's signing so fast! Tang Dou's only this many, but she's already collected two stacks!]
Xu Chacha finally looked up and spoke, "Although Teacher Xu's autograph isn't worth much, Teacher Xu signs quickly. I hope the little ones who receive it can study hard and not let me down."
[No, Teacher Xu, you have to stop. He won't learn anything without your guidance.]
[Teacher Xu, stop! Stop buying! I can't buy anymore!]
[An 888? LOL. You think I don't want an autograph? It's just that I can't afford it.]
"Nonsense! If they don't want it, I will!" Tang Doudou said. "I love Teacher Xu! I'll buy ten of them myself!"
“Sure.” Sasha didn’t stand on ceremony with her at all. “The staff will bring over our payment QR code, open the box on the spot, and see if DouDou got an autograph.”
[Tang Dou: I didn't expect that?]
[Tang Dou: You're making money off your own people, sister!]
"I thought I could get one through connections," Tang Doudou said with a bitter face. "Sister Shasha, don't be so heartless as to turn your back on your own family."
"Come on, baby." Sasha ignored her and held the POS machine up in front of her.
[Hahaha, Shasha is a ruthless sales machine, Tang Dou, you surrender!]
[It seems that acting cute doesn't work on Sasha.]
Tang Doudou gritted her teeth and scanned the code. The staff then placed ten shaved ice machines in front of her.
"Why do I feel like I'm opening a blind box?" Tang Doudou rubbed her hands together and opened the boxes one by one.
"Yes! It really is!" Tang Doudou held up the autograph for a close-up shot.
Xu Chacha signed quickly, but her signature was anything but perfunctory; she not only wrote her name but also drew a cute cartoon smiley face next to it.
"So cute, I want to keep it."
[Tang Dou really loves Teacher Xu, haha, has she received some private guidance from him?]
[Tang Dou mentioned in a previous interview that they've known each other since childhood.]
[Speaking of which, I couldn't help but dig up my five-year-old Tangdou's embarrassing past again, hahaha]
Wow! There's still one more!
Tang Doudou opened all ten boxes and got two autographs.
[The odds of winning are way too high; I suspect there's some kind of rigged system.]
[Hilarious! Look at Teacher Xu next door, he's more serious about signing his name than copying a book! How can you say that?]
I suspect that if she keeps signing like this, we'll need two cards per machine to keep up with the demand.
Shasha noticed the comments mentioning Xu Chacha, who looked up and relaxed her fingers slightly. "Thank you, Teacher Tang. I will continue to work hard."
Tang Doudou seemed to be in a good mood. "Since you really got an autograph, I'll keep one and give the rest to you along with these ten machines. We'll give them away in a Weibo giveaway."
[Thank you, sponsor!]
[I love you so much!]
Suddenly, a comment popped up in the live chat.
[One hundred units, can they be signed off in secrecy?]
Sasha quickly chimed in, "It's okay, if the brand won't blacklist you, I'll make sure you do! Baby, you can buy with confidence!"
Many people thought the comments were a joke, but after Shasha finished speaking, the number of ice shavers in stock suddenly changed from 4990 to 4890.
[Please sign this to Teacher Xu, thank you]
"Teacher Xu! Teacher Xu!" Shasha grabbed Xu Chacha's shoulders and shook her. "Your rich fans are amazing!"
"Thank you, thank you, my darling..." Xu Chacha's words of thanks were cut short as she suddenly narrowed her eyes and frowned at the ID in the live chat. "Sis! What are you doing!"
[Shopping]
Where would you put a hundred of them?
[Gift for employees]
[May I ask what your company is? I'll submit my resume right away!]
[Hello, rich lady, I'm here for work!]
Xu Chacha could only give Xu Yanshu a thumbs up, admiring her skill.
[Oh, Ms. Xu! Mr. Xu! Wishing you and Jian a long and happy life together!]
[Is Mr. Xu there, and is Jian Xi there too? Look at me! Look at me!]
The rules of Xu Yanshu's variety show are that she can confess her feelings every two episodes. If she succeeds in confessing, she can leave the show early. Most people wouldn't do that easily for the sake of the camera.
But Xu Yanshu and Jian Xi are two ruthless people; they got off the bus without hesitation, and a few days ago they successfully got together and showed their affection on Weibo.
Just as the barrage of comments was getting excited, the stock of shaved ice machines quietly decreased by 101 units, exactly one more than Xu Yanshu had bought.
[Please cover up the truth and let Teacher Xu sign his name.]
This ID hasn't been changed; it's still the system's initial long string of letters and numbers.
Xu Chacha asked hesitantly, "It's not your sister-in-law, is it...?"
The person didn't speak for a while, probably because he went out, changed his ID, and came back.
Teacher Xu's Canary: Teacher Xu, don't you even recognize me?
[？？？？？？？？]
[Teacher Xu? You used to be here? I like you, I like you!]
[This is so exciting! Someone, I need all the information on this canary in ten minutes!]
Chapter 55 Shut up!
Xu Chacha was already used to the two men's jealousy and rivalry, but that always happened in private.
She looked at the barrage of comments in the live stream and felt a bit of a headache. Fortunately, Sasha had good control over the situation and managed to turn the tide with a few words, getting back to the main topic.
However, because of the two people's actions, the shaved ice machine, which was not very affordable, was quickly snapped up.
Xu Chacha and Tang Doudou were signing autographs on the side, while Shasha was using an ice shaver to demonstrate to the audience how to make various milkshakes and shaved ice.
"It's delicious." She took a bite herself, then poured another cup and handed it to Tang Doudou. When she was about to pour one for Xu Chacha, Tang Doudou stopped her.
"No need, Cha Cha and I will just have one cup."
Shasha didn't know that Xu Chacha had a sensitive stomach and couldn't eat too much ice cream. She thought that the two of them had to manage their figures and couldn't eat too many sweets. She nodded and teased, "The two spokespeople have such a good relationship. They even share a bowl of shaved ice."
Tang Doudou chimed in, feigning pitifulness, "That's right, it's just that Teacher Xu is busy and can't find the time to get together with me. I'm already very happy to be able to share an ice cream with her today."
Xu Chacha tilted her head and gave her a look: We're still live streaming, can you tone it down a bit?
These things are easy to laugh off if said in private, but in front of fans, it's too easy for people to misunderstand.
Sure enough, when she looked back at the comments, it had started again.
[I'm totally shipping them! Childhood sweethearts, so cute!]
[@Teacher Xu's Canary, let's fight!]
[You all tag @Canary, but I won't, I'll tag @SisterCon CEO Xu]
Xu Chacha prayed to the gods and Buddhas, hoping to get off work soon. As soon as the live stream ended, she breathed a sigh of relief, threw down her pen, stood up, and stretched out a big yawn.
"It's still early, let's go for a late-night snack later," Tang Doudou said, pulling her along.
Xu Chacha glanced at her watch. "It's already 10:30. It's not early at all."
"It's only 10:30!" Tang Doudou, a professional night owl, couldn't understand Xu Chacha's health philosophy. "Sleeping is a waste of life; enjoying life while you can is the truth."
"I'll take it slow. I want to live to be a hundred." Xu Chacha shook her head and looked at her manager who was walking towards them. "Besides, are you sure your manager will agree to you going out for a late-night snack?"
"Late-night snack? What late-night snack?" The manager walked over and stood behind Tang Doudou.
Tang Doudou suddenly felt a chill run down her neck. "I don't know, what kind of midnight snack... Hahahaha..."
"I'll head back now, someone's waiting for me." Xu Chacha raised her hand to say goodbye.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Tang Doudou took two steps after him. "Is it that Canary...?"
Xu Chacha pretended not to know, "What canary? Never mind, there's no time to talk about it, I have to go quickly."
She left with small, quick steps, and only when she turned onto the stairs did she answer someone's call. Before the other person could speak, Xu Chacha started fuming.
What are you doing?
The woman on the other end of the phone chuckled softly, sounding quite nonchalant, "I'll do my bit to support Teacher Xu's career."
"You even changed your ID to something that could be misleading. You're deliberately trying to make my sister angry." Xu Chacha said in a low voice, "These days, netizens are so good at dissecting things. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
"No, it's a no-name account. It hasn't even been linked to a phone number. It's being used by the assistant's phone."
"...You mean this was premeditated?"
There was laughter on the other end again, the soft, breathy sounds hitting the microphone and making my ears tingle.
"Are you going up the stairs?" Xu Chacha's panting could be heard over the phone.
"I'm afraid of running into them in the elevator and getting questioned again. Anyway, it's only the third floor, it'll be quick."
"Which floor are we on?"
"Hmm..." Xu Chacha looked up at the marker, "One and a half floors, coming down soon."
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you."
