Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 305, Section 303: A New Daily Record

money.

Every detail represents money, real gold and silver, and gleaming RMB.

Looking at Zhao Xue's latest iPhone screen, Ding Yueyao felt like she couldn't breathe properly.

The figure of 82400 yuan was like a heavy hammer blow to her heart.

She instinctively clenched her right hand, her nails digging deep into her palm.

"Sister Yue, what's wrong?"

Zhao Xue noticed her absent-mindedness and leaned closer with a smile.

"Your face is so pale, are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay."

Ding Yueyao forced a smile, picked up the water glass in front of her and took a big gulp, but almost lost control of the flow and choked and coughed because she drank too fast.

Warm water spilled onto the tablecloth, spreading out a dark water stain.

Zhao Xue quickly handed over a tissue, her Cartier bracelet on her wrist reflecting a dazzling light under the lamp.

Ding Yueyao involuntarily sniffed.

This doesn't seem to be the kind of street vendor jewelry Zhao Xue usually wears, but rather the latest Love series from this year.
The official website price is over 60,000.

"Actually, I did hesitate."

Zhao Xue lowered her voice, leaned forward, and continued to persuade her.

"But Sister Yue, think about it, the entire industry is taking on this order right now."

“Some streamers on YY next door earn millions a month from this, and they can directly buy cars and houses and reach the pinnacle of their lives.”

"If we don't take it, someone else will make the money."

The waiters began serving the dishes, and exquisite Japanese cuisine filled the table.

Tuna belly, sea urchin, and Wagyu beef—each dish is quite expensive.

Zhao Xue skillfully picked up a piece of tuna belly with her chopsticks, dipped it in soy sauce, and put it in her mouth.

"Sister Yue, this meal costs over two thousand."

Zhao Xue squinted her eyes contentedly, her fingertips tracing circles in the air.

“In the past, I only had the opportunity to come to places like this when someone else treated me to a meal.”

"As for paying for it myself, I wouldn't even dare to think about it."

"But right now, it's just a matter of one day's promotion fee."

"."

Ding Yueyao fell silent.

She had no taste for food, chewing mechanically as her mind wandered to her cramped rented room and the meager balance in her mobile banking account.

There is no heating in Jiangcheng during winter.

She recalled her daily life, how she would shiver from the cold while livestreaming in her room, but in order to save a few dozen yuan, she would wait until the off-peak electricity hours after 10 p.m. before daring to turn on the heater.

"Xiaoxue, do you remember your boyfriend who drives a BMW? Does he know you're doing this promotion?"

Ding Yueyao asked tentatively.

"Cai Zhipeng."

Zhao Xue smiled and then waved her hand casually.

"He doesn't know much about investing, and he's not very ambitious. All he does is play video games all day."

“But he does have his merits. He listens to whatever I say and has also invested some money.”

As they were chatting, Zhao Xue's phone rang.

She glanced at the caller ID, hesitated for a few seconds, but answered anyway.

"Hey"

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

When Cai Zhipeng called, Zhao Xue's tone seemed to carry a hint of impatience.

"I'm eating out. With whom? With friends."

"It's Sister Yue from the Dianjin Dance Troupe! She's asking questions all day long."

After all, the two had spent a lot of time together at Jiayuan Media. Ding Yueyao noticed out of the corner of her eye that Zhao Xue's lips, which were covered in delicate lipstick, were slightly pursed, a small gesture that she was familiar with.

Zhao Xue would do this whenever she felt dissatisfied but was trying to control her emotions.

"Alright, alright, if you want to come pick me up, then hurry up and come."

Zhao Xue clearly lacked patience and sped up her speech.

"We're at Chunranju, you know the place, right?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xue shrugged.

"Cai Zhipeng insisted on picking me up. Honestly, he's such a grown man, yet he's always clinging to me."

"You two have such a great relationship~"

Ding Yueyao, a veteran actress, immediately put on an expression of extreme envy, like a single person.

"No way!"

Zhao Xue's eyes narrowed into thin lines as she smiled.

The meal was truly a joyful experience for the sisters.

Half an hour later, Cai Zhipeng appeared at the entrance of the Japanese restaurant on time.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Ding Yueyao saw a familiar figure look around before pushing the door open and entering.

His eyes searched the store, and he was clearly taken aback when he saw them, then quickly approached.

"Sister Yue, it's been a long time."

Cai Zhipeng nodded to Ding Yueyao as a greeting, then turned to Zhao Xue, his voice noticeably more excited.

"Honey, let me tell you! I made over six thousand today."

He sat down next to Zhao Xue and hurriedly took out his phone, wanting to share his happiness with his girlfriend.

Zhao Xue remained unfazed, not even raising her head. She slowly picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks, dipped it in soy sauce, and savored it before speaking.

"Making a fuss over nothing? You can't even sit still because it's only a little over six thousand?"

"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in watching anymore. I haven't finished my dessert yet. Do you want some?"

"No, I've eaten."

Cai Zhipeng felt ignored and could only wave his hand dismissively.

"Waiter, Checkout."

The three chatted for a few more minutes, one after another, before Zhao Xue finally put down her chopsticks and gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a tissue.

A waitress in a kimono approached with small, quick steps and respectfully handed over the bill.

"Hello, the total is two thousand four hundred and eighty yuan."

Cai Zhipeng subconsciously reached into his coat pocket to take out his wallet.

Zhao Xue, however, had already taken the initiative and handed over her credit card: "Use mine."

"I'll do it, it's quite expensive."

Cai Zhipeng whispered, but his movements were noticeably a beat too slow, and he couldn't keep up.

"Come on you."

Zhao Xue giggled, her voice as clear as a silver bell.

“I don’t need this much right now. Besides, this meal is just a fraction of yesterday’s income.”

"."

The meticulous Ding Yueyao couldn't possibly miss Cai Zhipeng's expression.

How to describe it?
At that moment, Ding Yueyao felt nothing but empathy—empathy for his helplessness and all the emotions in his heart.

Stepping out of the Japanese restaurant, a cool night breeze greeted me.

Ding Yueyao shrugged her shoulders and pulled her down jacket tighter around herself.

Zhao Xue was only wearing a thin-looking cashmere coat, and was being held by Cai Zhipeng, seemingly not feeling the cold at all.

"Sister Yue, let us take you home first."

Zhao Xue walked towards a BMW 3 Series parked on the side of the road.

Ding Yueyao certainly remembered the car; it was a small gift that Cai Zhipeng's family had bought for him.

She also subtly appeared in Zhao Xue's WeChat Moments on several occasions.

My boyfriend's BMW.

"No need, no need, I live very close by, I can walk back."

Ding Yueyao quickly replied politely.

"Don't be shy, it's not safe this late."

Zhao Xue had already opened the car door and gotten into the passenger seat: "Get in quickly."

Ding Yueyao hesitated for a moment, but still got into the back seat.

The car was filled with the distinctive leather smell of a new car, mixed with Zhao Xue's scent.

The driver was the last to get in the car, silently started it, and his back looked somewhat stiff.

"Sister Yue, do you still remember?"

"Remember what?"

"The older brother who often brought you gifts before you went to Jieyou Media was named Xingkong."

"Mmm." Ding Yueyao nodded immediately.

"That guy in the live stream today sent me another rocket."

Zhao Xue was touching up her lipstick while chatting with Ding Yueyao.

"He said he was coming to Jiangcheng on a business trip next week and wanted to treat me to something to thank me for saving his annualized interest rate."

"what?"

Cai Zhipeng, who had been silent, finally spoke.

The man carefully chose his words, the veins on the back of his hand gripping the steering wheel bulging.

"Isn't it inappropriate for a stranger to invite you to dinner?"

“It’s not safe.”

"He's a senior executive at a listed company, what could possibly be unsafe for him?"

Zhao Xue disagreed.

"Besides, it's just a meal, don't overthink it."

"."

Ding Yueyao saw Cai Zhipeng in the rearview mirror; he had a furrowed brow and a blank expression.

"I'm not nervous, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Zhao Xue resolutely blocked the railway.

"I just feel uncomfortable because everyone I know now is more capable and earns more than you?"

"I'm not trying to be mean, Cai Zhipeng, but you seem a bit unfamiliar to me now."

"Can't a grown man stand up straight and have some sense of perspective?"

A suffocating silence fell over the car.

In fact, Ding Yueyao really enjoys gossiping.

Especially the fresh gossip about young couples flirting and bickering.

But for some reason, she felt an urge to get off the bus immediately today.

For the first time, she realized that she couldn't stand this atmosphere and felt restless.

"Sister Yue."

Zhao Xue suddenly turned her head, her expression now a sweet smile.

"I've made plans to go shopping at Wuhan Plaza with some friends tomorrow, do you want to come along?"

"I have to do a live stream tomorrow, but you don't?"

"Just ask for a day off."

Zhao Xue blinked: "I think I've figured it out now, choice is more important than effort."

"Effort is only worthwhile if you're heading in the right direction. I don't broadcast like I used to anymore; it's exhausting and doesn't earn me much money."

"."

Ding Yueyao bit her lip almost imperceptibly.

"I feel that a Miu Miu bag would be perfect for you, and it's on sale right now."

Upon hearing the words from the passenger seat, Ding Yueyao inexplicably felt a surge of anger and managed a forced smile.

"Okay, I'll think about it some more. I'll call you when I have time."

Why?
Why is it that Zhao Xue can wear designer brands and luxury goods, while I can only go to Miu Miu and choose discounted out-of-season items?
Is there any fairness left in this world?
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of Zhengyuan Residential Area, and Ding Yueyao got out of the car, lifting the hem of her coat.

"Thank you so much for bringing me back."

She stood outside the car window and nodded to Cai Zhipeng and Zhao Xue.

"Don't mention it, Sister Yue."

Zhao Xue smiled broadly.

"correct."

I thought about it the whole way, and I was conflicted the whole way.

Looking at the night market stalls near Zhengyuan Residential Area, standing amidst the everyday life, Ding Yueyao suddenly made up her mind.

"Xiaoxue, why don't you send me that business WeChat account?"

Zhao Xue's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out her phone.

"No problem, Sister Yue! I'll push it to you right away."

"Also, when you add him, remember to note that he was introduced by Zhao Xue, so that we can both get an extra 500 yuan referral fee."

"can."

Ding Yueyao lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the account Zhao Xue had sent her on her WeChat profile.

——【Manager Chen, Huanya】

My finger hovered over the "Add Friend" button a few times before I finally pressed it.

"Sister Yue, we'll head back to school now! See you tomorrow!"

Zhao Xue waved to her.

Watching the white BMW drive away, Ding Yueyao breathed a long sigh of relief.

She looked up at Zhengyuan Residential Area, an old residential building that was nearly twenty years old, and thought of the sparkling Cartier watch on Zhao Xue's wrist. A feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

Nono wears luxury goods, and I admire her for it.

Because Du Jianuo truly possesses unparalleled professional skills.

But now Zhao Xue is wearing these too, could it be...?
Is choice truly more important than effort?

Almost within minutes, before Ding Yueyao even went upstairs, Manager Chen from Huanya accepted her friend request.

【Hello Ms. Ding, Zhao Xue has already explained your situation to me.】

Manager Chen sent a smiling emoji.

Here are our cooperation terms; please take a look.

Ding Yueyao opened the WeChat file and began to read it carefully.

The terms and conditions are written in a very standard way, with an 800 yuan rebate for each valid user and a settlement cycle of T+1.

Everything seemed so formal, so impeccable.

"what do I need to do?"

Ding Yueyao replied cautiously.

"It's very simple. Just add the link during the live stream and occasionally mention it verbally. We will provide you with specific script guidance to ensure that you won't be put in a difficult position."

For the next half hour, Ding Yueyao was caught in a dilemma.

She repeatedly reviewed the materials sent by Manager Chen and searched online for information about the Huanya Commodity Exchange.

Indeed, as Zhao Xue said, this exchange has a legitimate license, is backed by the local government, and even has photos of local government leaders visiting it on its official website.

no problem!

What exactly is the problem?
What exactly is President Zhou hesitating about?
After much deliberation, Ding Yueyao looked at the meager four-digit balance in her mobile banking account and, considering that she couldn't even afford a decent meal, finally made up her mind.

She took out her phone again and sent a message to Manager Chen.

"Manager Chen, I can take this promotion."

The other party responded instantly.

【Great, Ms. Ding! This is the latest version of the sales script. Please take a look. After the live stream, send me a screenshot of the backend data, and we can settle the account the next day, T+1. Payment will absolutely not be delayed.】

Ding Yueyao took a deep breath and opened the live streaming app.

What the hell are we waiting for?
It is better to choose a day than to hit it.

ten minutes.

Making a decision is difficult, but once you have a clear mind, everything becomes quick.

Incredibly fast.

She spent only ten minutes putting on exquisite makeup and changing into her sexiest dress.

Halfway through the live stream, following her script, she casually mentioned the Huanya platform.

"I've recently been learning about investment and financial management, so I opened an account at Huanya to try it out. It feels pretty good, much better than putting money in the bank."

"Annualized rate. Annualized rate can be as high as 100%."

Her voice was trembling as she spoke, and her palms were sweaty.

To her surprise, the response from the live stream was actually quite good.

"real or fake?"

"Such a high annualized rate? I've already opened an account, please help me!"

"A platform that all streamers use should be reliable."

To her even greater surprise, within just two hours, the backend showed that 22 users had registered through her link, and all of them had completed the deposit requirements.

Is this the hidden gem of a niche livestreaming room?
For the first time, Ding Yueyao felt much more confident about her live stream.

After the broadcast ended, she immediately sent a screenshot of the data to Manager Chen.

In less than five minutes, the other party replied enthusiastically.

Congratulations, Ms. Ding! The 17600 yuan will be deposited into your account at this time tomorrow.

Ding Yueyao felt dizzy when she looked at the number.

This is her highest single-day earnings record since she started live streaming.
