Chapter 119: Side Story 15 – She Belongs to Me—At Least in My Head

The next morning, Wei Lan went to work at the milk tea shop as usual.

This job was stable — it didn’t pay much each day, but at least it supported her daily needs.

At two in the afternoon, Wei Lan quickly ate her lunch, then rode her electric bike back to her apartment, grabbed her large backpack, and headed to the jade market.

After arriving, she started setting up her stall.

Today, in addition to the Xiuyu pieces, she also had three Hetian jade pieces she had carved the night before.

Xiao Nanyan had been wandering around nearby.

When she saw Wei Lan arrive, she immediately walked over.

“Miss, I watched your livestream yesterday.

Are you interested in collaborating?”

Xiao Nanyan crouched down, looked at Wei Lan, and said with a smile.

Wei Lan glanced at Xiao Nanyan warily.

“I don’t have anything.

I just sell carved jade pieces.

What collaboration could you have with me?”

Because of Lu Zijin, she was now very wary of these beautiful, seemingly wealthy omegas.

Xiao Nanyan smiled at her and said, “I watched the entire livestream yesterday.

At first, that host didn’t have many viewers, but when she panned to you, the traffic in her livestream exploded.

I want to invite you to sell goods for my company.”

Wei Lan shook her head.

She was still a sophomore in college and didn’t want to sign with any company right now.

Besides, breaking a contract later would be a huge problem for those kind of signed hosts.

“Sorry, I don’t want to sign with a company right now.

I’m still a student.”

Wei Lan said as she continued arranging her stall.

Xiao Nanyan took out her business card and continued, “Miss, this is my card.

You can look me up online.

Everything I’m saying is true.

I’m genuinely very sincere about inviting you to join our company.

If you don’t want to sign a long-term contract, you can temporarily sign a guaranteed-split contract.

I’ll give you a five percent commission per successful order.

If the results are good later, we can negotiate a higher commission.”

Hearing that she wouldn’t need to sign a long-term contract made Wei Lan feel even more skeptical.

If there was no long-term contract, why would the company give her resource priority?

And what if she ran off halfway?

“Still no.

I don’t have any plans in that direction right now.”

Wei Lan continued to refuse.

Xiao Nanyan wasn’t discouraged by the rejection.

She handed over her card.

“I’m really not a scammer.

You can look me up.

I really am the owner of Yuya Group.

Our company specializes in mass-producing all kinds of jade products.”

Seeing Xiao Nanyan’s persistence, Wei Lan finally took the card.

She searched on her phone and found that Xiao Nanyan really existed online.

There were even interview videos of her.

Wei Lan clicked on one and saw that the person in the video was the woman in front of her.

Xiao Nanyan was also one of Panyang City’s Top Ten Young Entrepreneurs.

Wei Lan then looked at Xiao Nanyan, who was still smiling at her.

“See?

I wasn’t wrong, was I?

I really am the owner of Yuya Group.

Don’t worry.

If you don’t want to sign a long-term contract, we’ll sign a guaranteed-split contract.

I’ll give you a guaranteed twenty thousand yuan per month.

The rest will depend on your livestream sales.

You can take a 5% commission on each item sold.”

Wei Lan saw that Yuya Group was a fairly large company — considered the leader in the jade industry in Panyang City — so it should be reliable.

But why would they choose her, a poor student?

Wei Lan still asked, “You’re choosing me just because of that one livestream yesterday?”

Xiao Nanyan smiled.

“Although it was just one livestream, that already says a lot.

With your face out there, it would be hard for a livestream’s traffic not to be good.”

“But I have no experience.

I don’t really know how to sell through livestreams.”

Wei Lan added.

“You don’t need experience.

Our company has professional training.

Being a livestream host will definitely earn you much more than setting up a stall here.”

Xiao Nanyan continued to persuade.

Wei Lan hesitated, but then thought about the money she still owed Lu Zijin.

She nodded in agreement.

“Alright, but I need to see the contract first before I decide.”

“No problem.

I’ll have them draft the contract right away.

You can sign it tomorrow.”

Xiao Nanyan said quickly.

“Then tomorrow afternoon.

I have class tomorrow morning.”

Wei Lan said after thinking for a moment.

“Fine.

It’s settled, then.

Let’s exchange contact information.”

Xiao Nanyan took out her phone.

“Okay.”

Wei Lan nodded, took out her phone, and added Xiao Nanyan on WeChat.

Xiao Nanyan then left.

Doing business wasn’t easy these days, especially for a source factory like hers.

If she could get a host with significant traffic to sell her goods, the profits could multiply by several times or even dozens of times.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to find Wei Lan in person.

After Xiao Nanyan left, the woman from yesterday returned.

In the end, after one livestream, all of Wei Lan’s goods were sold out, earning her 5,900 yuan.

In just two days, she had made over ten thousand yuan.

Wei Lan was very satisfied with this.

But it still wasn’t enough to pay off her student loans, let alone repay Lu Zijin.

But thinking that she was going to see the contract at Xiao Nanyan’s company tomorrow, Wei Lan felt confident again.

She needed to pay the money back quickly so that she would no longer have any ties to Lu Zijin.

Soon, the next morning, Wei Lan went to school for her classes.

At two in the afternoon, she arrived at Yuya Group.

Xiao Nanyan had her secretary, Qi Jin, go downstairs to pick up Wei Lan.

Wei Lan followed Qi Jin onto the elevator and soon reached the 16th floor, where the CEO’s office was.

Qi Jin knocked on the door, and after receiving Xiao Nanyan’s response, brought Wei Lan into the office.

When Xiao Nanyan saw Wei Lan, she smiled and stood up to greet her.

“Miss Wei, please have a seat.

The contract is ready.

Sit down and take a look — if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we can discuss it further.”

“Okay.”

Wei Lan sat on the sofa and read through it carefully.

Xiao Nanyan’s contract was just as she had described — calculated on a guaranteed-split basis, no required contract term, with very relaxed conditions.

After finishing, Wei Lan still asked, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll jump ship?”

Xiao Nanyan smiled.

“As long as our company treats you well enough, no one else can take you away.

I have that much confidence.”

Wei Lan nodded.

She had a good impression of Xiao Nanyan — she didn’t have the airs of a CEO and was easygoing and kind.

“Alright.

But the livestream times will have to avoid my class schedule.”

“Don’t worry.

Send your class schedule to my assistant.

I’ll have the livestream department arrange it.

This week, come in first to learn how to host.

I’ll also have someone take you to the factory to see our products so you can get familiar with them.

We’ll start official livestreams next week.”

Xiao Nanyan said.

“Okay.”

Wei Lan nodded.

She added Qi Jin on WeChat and sent her class schedule.

Xiao Nanyan said, “Qi Jin, take Wei Lan to the livestream department so she knows the way.”

“Yes, CEO Xiao.”

Qi Jin responded and then took Wei Lan down to the tenth floor, handing her over to the relevant staff for training.

So that week, Wei Lan spent her days like this — either at school or training at the company.

During this time, Xiao Nanyan also took her to the factory twice to see jade processing.

It could be said that Wei Lan had been very busy this entire week.

On Lu Zijin’s side, because of company matters, she had been on a business trip for nearly two weeks.

She could have chosen not to go, but staying in Panyang made her constantly think of Wei Lan, so she had simply gone on the trip.

Two weeks later, Lu Zijin returned from abroad to Panyang City.

She rested at home for half a day, then continued working at the company.

Wei Ting, meanwhile, had received news that Wei Lan had become a livestream host for Yuya Group.

At first, she couldn’t quite believe it.

She had only been abroad with CEO Lu for two weeks — how did Wei Lan become a livestream host?

She asked the person for Wei Lan’s short-video account and searched for it.

There she was, actually standing there selling goods through a livestream.

The audience size wasn’t small either — over twenty thousand people were watching.

Wei Ting thought it over and felt it was necessary to tell Lu Zijin.

In just two weeks, the whole situation could change.

She quickly grabbed her phone and knocked on Lu Zijin’s door.

Lu Zijin had been working hard abroad for those two weeks as well.

She rubbed her temples and said, “Come in.”

Wei Ting hurried into Lu Zijin’s office.

“CEO Lu, it’s about Miss Wei.

I just heard that Miss Wei seems to have signed with Yuya Group and become a livestream host there.”

“What?”

Lu Zijin wondered if she had heard wrong.

She reached out and took the phone Wei Ting handed her.

In the video, Wei Lan and Xiao Nanyan were selling goods together at Yuya Group’s source factory.

This was also Xiao Nanyan’s backup plan — if her hosts couldn’t be relied on, she might as well capture the traffic herself and gain her own following.

That way, even if Wei Lan left later, she would still have influence and pulling power.

Many business owners were hosting livestreams personally these days, so Xiao Nanyan thought it was fine for her to do it too.

Besides, with the two of them — her and Wei Lan — looking like that, it would be hard for people not to watch.

Right now, Wei Lan was holding an 8mm light blue Qiemo jade bracelet against her wrist.

“Everyone, take a look — this is genuine Qiemo material.

The color is very pure, and it’s also very oily and lustrous.

Wearing it on your wrist makes your skin look very fair.”

“That’s right.

You can see how the two of us look wearing them — very pretty.

And all the items we’re sending out are the best picks from our inventory.

The quality is absolutely guaranteed.”

Xiao Nanyan said as she brought her wrist next to Wei Lan’s, and the two of them showed off their bracelets to the livestream audience.

“But everyone, please consume responsibly.

Too many returns are hard for us to handle, so take a good look before you order.

Only order if you actually need it.”

Wei Lan reminded.

Lu Zijin’s brow furrowed tightly.

Especially when she saw the two of them showing off their bracelets to the camera together, her expression turned ashen.

When did her little dog get so close with Xiao Nanyan?

Her heart suddenly panicked.

Although Xiao Nanyan’s jade company wasn’t as big as Lu Corporation, she was still wealthy.

And more importantly, Xiao Nanyan was very good-looking.

What if her little dog got stolen away?

Thinking this, the scene in the livestream felt increasingly unbearable to Lu Zijin.

Wei Lan and Xiao Nanyan were chatting and laughing together, but the last couple of times she had seen her, Wei Lan hadn’t given her a good look at all.

The more Lu Zijin watched, the redder her eyes became.

If Wei Ting hadn’t been standing right there, she might have already started crying.

Lu Zijin took a deep breath.

She looked at Wei Ting.

“Alright, I understand.

You can go out now.”

Lu Zijin noted down the livestream room ID, then handed the phone back to Wei Ting.

Seeing Lu Zijin’s expression, Wei Ting quickly left.

As soon as Wei Ting was out, Lu Zijin’s tears began to fall like a broken string, drop by drop.

During her two weeks abroad, she had thought about Wei Lan every single day.

She had thought that being far away might help her miss Wei Lan a little less, but clearly, distance didn’t work at all — she still missed Wei Lan terribly every day.

Lu Zijin regretted going abroad for those two weeks.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been completely in the dark about how Wei Lan had met Xiao Nanyan.

Thinking this, she frantically opened her own phone and searched for Wei Lan’s livestream room.

Watching the two of them laughing and chatting, cooperating with each other, her tears fell uncontrollably.

Lu Zijin looked at Wei Lan.

Her little dog was wearing delicate makeup today.

She had on a white standing-collar blouse, light gray thin suit pants, and white shoes.

In the livestream, many people were spamming “Wife, let’s cuddle.”

Some were even sending Wei Lan gifts, and Wei Lan would smile and thank them.

The more Lu Zijin watched, the angrier she got.

She didn’t usually watch short-videos, so her account name was a gibberish string of characters.

Seeing her little dog smiling and thanking everyone, Lu Zijin defiantly recharged ten thousand yuan and started sending one big gift after another.

Wei Lan was also confused — people sometimes sent big gifts, but never this many.

And this person had no profile picture and a gibberish name.

Still, Wei Lan very politely smiled and thanked Lu Zijin.

“Thank you to the wealthy sister with the ID ‘gkkruv’ for the gifts.

Everyone, please focus on the products.

If you just send me gifts, I’ll feel a bit embarrassed.”

Wei Lan said with a shy smile.

The comment section below was exploding.

[Wife is so cute.]

[Wife is shy — she’s shy about receiving gifts.]

[Sword fight with the person above, Wei Jie is my wife!]

[Ahhhh, Wife is way too pretty.

Is she really an alpha?

She looks so gentle.]

Seeing that Wei Lan had smiled at her too, Lu Zijin felt slightly satisfied.

At least now she was the top donor in Wei Lan’s livestream.

She would not allow anyone else to send more gifts than her.

Her little dog belonged to her.

But looking at Wei Lan in the livestream, Lu Zijin deflated again.

She didn’t know if her little dog had forgiven her yet.

She planned to call Wei Lan later tonight to test whether her little dog was still angry.

Then Lu Zijin’s eyes scanned the comment section below, and she immediately exploded.

What?

Her little dog was clearly hers — who gave these people the right to call her little dog “wife”?

So Lu Zijin jumped directly into the fray.

[Little Wei is my wife.

None of you are allowed to take her!]

Many people replied to Lu Zijin.

[Sister, just because you send more gifts doesn’t mean Little Wei is yours.

Little Wei belongs to all of us!]

[Exactly, exactly.

Little Wei is my internet wife.]

[Rich sister, don’t take it so personally, okay?

Sending ten thousand worth of gifts is a lot, but that still doesn’t make Little Wei yours.]

Many more similar comments kept scrolling up.

Lu Zijin was about to explode from reading those comments, but she was only one person — she couldn’t out-comment all of them, which made her even angrier.

What did her little dog being very sweet have to do with these strangers?

Her little dog was hers!

Wei Lan, still in the middle of her livestream, had no idea about any of this.

She was still going through product after product for her audience.

Fortunately, Xiao Nanyan had treated her to a big lunch, because livestreaming like this was really tiring — she had to keep talking nonstop and maintain her energy.

But for the sake of making money, Wei Lan kept cooperating with Xiao Nanyan, introducing the items to the audience.

She had no idea that Lu Zijin had been arguing with her livestream fans out of jealousy.
