After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 24 The Male God's Bathrobe

The comments section in the live stream was already filled with laughter:

[National Husband? Are random men on the street these days daring to use such an arrogant nickname?]

[Hahaha! A worn-out bathrobe, and a man's at that? If I, a woman, bought it, my dad would kill me!]

[How poor is this streamer that they're selling secondhand bathrobes? They don't even have a logo! Who knows what flea market they found here? I'd even refuse a 9.9 yuan package with free shipping!]

……

Jiang Shu ignored the comments in the live stream and instead silently focused her gaze on Assistant Yang:
"Let me explain this to the babies..."

Compared to Jiang Shu's suggestive gaze, the gaze from their own big boss was icy cold!
Assistant Yang suppressed the urge to cry, forced himself to remain calm in front of the live broadcast camera, and picked up the bathrobe:

"This is a handmade piece by the internationally renowned designer Danny. It took three months to complete and is the only one of its kind in the world. It uses Shu brocade, which is known as the most precious fabric in China, and combines the mysterious double-sided three-dimensional embroidery of China with Danny's unique intricate embroidery..."

[Hahaha! Keep bragging! Come on, let me tell you some tall tale!]

【Master Danny? I've read about that designer; he only does bespoke tailoring now and doesn't do business with ordinary customers anymore…】

[They're exaggerating the value of a mere bathrobe; I wonder which idiot would actually order one!]

My mom asked me what I was laughing at, and I said I was watching a crazy person doing a live stream...

……

Over here, Assistant Yang glanced at the big boss on the sofa out of the corner of his eye, and with a look of grim determination, uttered the most crucial sentence:

“This bathrobe was worn by Li Yubai the night before.”

The screen went silent instantly!
[Li Yubai? Which Li Yubai?]

No way! It's not the one I'm thinking of...

[Haha, this is insane! The host should go see a neurologist right away!]

[Aren't you afraid that the richest man in Beijing will break your legs?]

……

Assistant Yang took a deep breath: "Yes, it's the Li Yubai you're thinking of—he just changed his clothes and hasn't washed them yet. He shouldn't be here..."

The moment the phrase "Li Yubai's bathrobe" appeared in the live stream, the traffic suddenly surged! The already popular Puppet Man live stream was flooded with tens of millions of viewers in just a few minutes!
There were also some overwhelming, desperate comments on the screen:
[This is something even our elite socialite group in Beijing couldn't get! Nobody else can have it!]

[This bathrobe is for the Ning Group in the capital! Li Yubai is my white moonlight, and what belongs to this young lady is my man's. Let's see who dares to touch it!]

……

Jiang Shu spotted a bunch of IDs related to socialites in the capital city amidst the dense barrage of comments, and glanced approvingly at Assistant Yang, avoiding Li Yubai's gaze: "Name the price."

Assistant Yang felt the increasingly oppressive gaze from the BOSS not far away, and his heart was in turmoil. He couldn't wait to get the first order through as soon as possible!
He quickened his pace considerably: "Wearing this robe feels like floating on clouds. It's one of Mr. Li Yubai's most cherished personal items, originally priced at 99—"

Jiang Shu interrupted: "And now, in my live stream, this is the first item up for auction. I'm offering it at a rock-bottom price as a way of making friends! Not 990,000, not 99,000, just 9999! Take it now! 9999, only one order! Want to experience the feeling of falling asleep every night with your dream man's scent? Then hurry up and grab it—come on, staff, the link is coming up right now! Countdown, three, two, one!"

Assistant Yang was terrified! How dare Miss Jiang ask for 9999? With the BOSS's 'the most beautiful woman in the capital's intimate apparel' backing, even if it doesn't increase tenfold, three million wouldn't be a problem at all. As far as he knew, even a few hundred thousand worth of the BOSS's unused cufflinks had been sold for tens of millions by the socialites of the capital!
He secretly glanced at the big boss, but Li Yubai could only stare helplessly at his little darling, not sparing him even a glance...

Forget it, the billions spent on Chaomu are all just for young girls to play with, what's a few hundred thousand for a bathrobe...

After finishing his self-planning, Assistant Yang suddenly raised his voice: "Link!"

The link to the bathrobe is now available!
In less than a second, the link to the bathrobe went gray!

[Seriously? I was waiting to see this fail, and actually someone's a fool buying it?]

[You're the idiot. Go look at page 28 of issue 236 of *China Finance Magazine*...]

Is it really worthwhile to hire shills to self-produce and sell products? I've already sued you on the Li Group's official website; just wait for their lawyer's letter!

[Holy crap! I happen to have that issue of "China Finance Magazine" at home. I just flipped through it, and no way! No way! The assistant next to the puppet is actually the chairman's assistant and vice president of the Li Group headquarters?!]

【Ahhh! I got it! I actually managed to snag one! My fellow socialites from the capital, come over for tea in a few days when it arrives…】

Why wasn't it me who got it?! I'm clearly the woman in the entire capital who loves Li Yubai the most!

[You streamer, go to hell! You sold my Li Yubai's things for a pittance! It's utterly despicable!]

……

Jiang Shu deliberately avoided looking at Li Yubai's expression, instead enjoying the chaotic barrage of comments.

She glanced at the live stream's viewership, which had already reached 30 million and was still skyrocketing, deliberately paused for a moment, and then slammed her hand on the table:
"Did you like Li Yubai's bathrobe just now?"

I love it! I love it so much!

"You like him, right?" Jiang Shu teased, "Then, do you want his other personal items...?"

Li Yubai froze as he was making tea!

Then, slowly, he turned his cold gaze to Assistant Yang, who was standing stiffly.

In the live stream room, aside from a few sarcastic remarks, a large influx of new customers were frantically flooding the screen!
I want it! I want it so badly!

[Host, do you have any other personal items belonging to Li Yubai? Hurry! I can't wait!]

Jiang Shu slowly took out several boxes she had prepared in advance from the drawer: "The first order is a live broadcast bonus. He's the dream husband of all the socialites in the capital. If I were to sell his things cheaply, the socialites would probably come looking for me with machetes! So the personal items that Li Yubai will be sold at a premium. Even so, do you still want them?"

I want it! I want it, I really want it!

Jiang Shu's tone carried a hint of sigh: "In that case, let's see what other good things I have!"

The first box was opened. A thin shirt was revealed...

“This is a shirt that’s also worn close to the skin…” Jiang Shu paused, her tone slightly ambiguous, “stained with wine from my idol’s lips, stained with his alluring scent, and unwashed…”

[He's gone mad! The streamer has gone mad!]

[I have to say, if Li Yubai were here right now, he'd probably go crazy too! Everyone knows Li Yubai hates it when no one touches his personal clothing! Host, I'm worried you won't see the sun rise tomorrow...]

[I'm going crazy! My Li Yubai's undershirt! And the wine stains from his lipstick! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil...]

Jiang Shu sighed softly, "The thin fabric clinging to your skin, unbuttoned countless times every day by your idol Li Yubai. Imagine his artist-like hands gently caressing your shirt, and then think of the wine dripping from his bright red lips that have captivated so many people... Such a private thing, imbued with his scent, do you want it?"

The screen was filled with frantic screams!
Assistant Yang cautiously whispered, "Jiang, your description is... you've gone too far..."

"You want it?" Jiang Shu ignored Assistant Yang's frustration. "The white moonlight of the capital, his personal items have already been sold for exorbitant prices in the capital's socialite circles! This time, I won't make a price offer; I'll give the pricing authority to you all!"

Wow! The streamer's main selling point is surprise!

[Ahhh! I can vouch for it, the entire socialite circle has gone crazy! Here's the link! I absolutely have to get my hands on one!]

Assistant Yang's voice was low and hesitant: "Jiang, the BOSS just bought that shirt casually, and it's only worth 50,000..."

Jiang Shu spoke in a voice barely audible to Assistant Yang: "Think about that cheaply sold bathrobe... We can't just lose money without making any profit, can we?"

Assistant Yang wanted to cry: "Look back at the BOSS's murderous gaze."

Jiang Shu felt a little guilty: "At least we have to close this deal. As for the others, we'll discuss them later."

Then, she raised her voice: "Shirts have a price, but Li Yubai is priceless! This round will be an auction, with a starting bid of 50,000! Come on, Li Yubai's fans! Let me see just how much you love your idol! If you love him, then shower him with money!"

The auction link is up.

The bidding numbers jumped wildly in increments of hundreds of thousands, reaching eight million in just two minutes...

Jiang Shu said softly to Assistant Yang, "You should get more of these kinds of things later; the profits are truly astonishing..."

Assistant Yang didn't dare to speak, and timidly gestured for her to look to the side.

Jiang Shu turned her head and saw Li Yubai's eyes, which were slightly misty, as he walked over at some point.

That look in his eyes—cold when he looked at Assistant Yang, but when he looked at her…tsk! There's something fishy going on!

Li Yubai reached out his hand towards the shirt.

Jiang Shu held her breath tightly, then met his gaze firmly.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Li Yubai ultimately lost miserably: "This is the last time."

Jiang Shu, satisfied, turned her attention back to the live stream. At this moment, the shirt, which cost 5 yuan to produce, finally reached a price of 1314 million yuan amidst the frenzied bidding war among the socialites!

Jiang Shu clapped her hands: "She really loves your husband Li Yubai! 1314, is there a more direct and passionate confession than this? Congratulations to the lucky person who captured this photo!"

Socialites are so easy to exploit.

But Li Yubai, who wasn't in the shot... seems to have had his ears turned red from being pulled so much...

Jiang Shu glanced at Li Yubai, then regretfully put the other boxes back into the drawer, waiting for another opportunity.

Two pieces of clothing, costing 104 million, yielded a profit of 10 million. Time to take profits...

[Don't put it away! Keep going! I really want to know what's in the other boxes. Could there be Li Yubai's underwear? I can't even imagine! I'm about to get a nosebleed!]

Anyone who dares to utter another word disrespecting Li Yubai will be wiped out by our elite socialites of the capital!

[Excuse me... does the streamer have any autographed photos of Li Yubai? Everyone says he's the most handsome man in the capital, but I've never seen him before...]

……

Jiang Shu spoke again: "I have plenty of Li Yubai's personal belongings! But from now on, they will only be offered as giveaway items and auctioned occasionally. Those who didn't win, remember to keep following me! Now, please follow me to see the next item—Assistant, bring out the item!"

Under Li Yubai's piercing gaze, Assistant Yang walked towards the shelves that covered the wall behind him.

For safety's sake, he didn't dare take any of the unused items that Li Yubai had given to Jiang Shu this time, and instead chose a rectangular medium-sized box of unknown origin.

It's quite heavy.

As he was thinking this, in the live stream, Jiang Shu, under the watchful eyes of millions, ripped open the gift box packaging with a whoosh...

Upon seeing what was inside the box, Assistant Yang's heart leaped into his throat!
Small Theater:

On the day of Yan Yu's birthday banquet.

Top idol Yan Yu posted a picture to officially announce: "This is my girlfriend."

Li Yubai, the richest man in the capital, then officially announced: "This is my wife."

FY's young master, Feng Li, never one to be outdone: "This is the mother of my child..."

Jiang Shu: "Don't push, take turns..."
