After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

Seemingly realizing that Jiang Ran had seen her, Huang Xiao quickly put away her phone and gave Jiang Ran an embarrassed smile.

Jiang Ran frowned. "If you're not helping your mother weave basketball hoops, what are you doing?"

Huang Xiao scratched his head, smiling obsequiously, "I didn't do anything! Bro, you do your thing, I was just taking some casual photos to record the good things in life!"

"..."

Jiang Ran remained silent for a moment, then continued weaving without saying anything more.

However, for more than an hour, whenever Jiang Ran looked up suddenly, she could see Huang Xiao holding her phone and pointing it directly at her.

From initially sneaking around in the corner of the room, to later serving tea and water at the table next to him...

They were almost completely different camera positions.

Just as Huang Xiao stealthily approached him again and felt the phone case on the side of his face, Jiang Ran completely lost his composure!

"Hey Huang Xiao, what exactly are you filming?"

He couldn't take it anymore and snatched Huang Xiao's phone away!

When Jiang Ran's gaze fell on the phone screen, on the video script that Huang Xiao had just edited but hadn't sent, Jiang Ran instantly felt a chill run down her spine!

My brother is at work again.

This winter, it was unusually cold at home. My brother and mother were doing handicrafts in their little room as usual. They didn't want to turn on the air conditioning, so I had to tell them it was too cold to stay there any longer. Only then did they turn it on for a short while...

The video above the text shows Jiang Ran and Huang Xiao's mother making handicrafts together.

However, in the short 15-second video, the shot lingered on him for a full 13 seconds, moving from a distance to a close-up, even including the soft yellow sunlight streaming through the window...

"Snap!"

Still in shock and unable to react, Jiang Ran saw a small hand appear in front of her.

The next second, a notification popped up on the phone screen that the video had been successfully uploaded.

Within three seconds, Jiang Ran saw a small red dot notification pop up in the message area below.

She doesn't eat cilantro: "I told you the shirt looked good, right? I let your brother take the picture like this, you know?"

Strawberry Sweetie: "I've placed the order. When will it be shipped? (I'm referring to myself)"

"Blooming Flowers and Wealth: Poor child, Auntie is late. Auntie will place a few more orders so I can buy you and your mother some warm clothes for winter. /rose/heart/rose"

"Holy crap, Huang Xiao, are you alright?!"

With each refresh, the number of comments exploded, and Jiang Ran couldn't hold back any longer, so he swore!

"Hey bro! You don't understand. Everyone makes money online these days. You're so handsome, it would be such a waste if you didn't make some videos and generate traffic!"

"But you can't make me film the CA side!"

"What's wrong with CA? We're a legitimate handmade business, selling real products. If someone's willing to buy, that's all that matters. We don't need you to actually do offline cleaning."

"..."

Seeing his phone being snatched away, Jiang Ran couldn't sit still any longer!

He said, "What's this girl up to? They haven't even attracted any customers yet. Where are they going to find someone willing to spend a hundred dollars on a broken basket? Is she trying to get business from me?!"

And they even write those nonsensical copywritings...

When did he become Huang Xiao's brother?!

"I don't have time to play around with your nonsense!"

Jiang Ran couldn't hold back any longer. She threw down the half-finished rattan she was weaving and stood up.

Seeing this, Huang Xiao panicked instantly!

"Brother, please don't! We received 50 orders just yesterday, and our video even went viral. What am I supposed to do if you suddenly quit?!"

"Either you delete the video, or you keep it and finish the orders yourself after a few!"

Jiang Ran remained resolute and casually picked up the down jacket next to her and put it on.

It's not that he's unfamiliar with the internet; since graduation, he's been exposed to it much earlier than Huang Xiao.

My roommates and I had discussed starting a live stream, but the traffic is only temporary, especially for those who make up lies and fool the public. How many of them end up well?

Even if you made money during your peak, if you really suffer a disaster, the losses would be more than that!

Moreover, to generate traffic through live streaming, you need to sign with a company. If you're not careful, the contract alone can be incredibly expensive!

Jiang Ran believes he doesn't have that destiny, so he rarely watches short videos and focuses all his energy on real life.

Unexpectedly, at the age of 23, he was fooled by a girl who had just turned 18!

Seeing Huang Xiao's somewhat distraught appearance, Jiang Ran said earnestly, "Huang Xiao, I'm not trying to be mean, but have you considered that if we unexpectedly become famous, and media reporters come to inquire only to find out I'm not your biological brother, isn't that the same as what happens to my biological mother?"

Huang Xiao lowered his head and shook it sullenly. "I haven't thought that much about it. I just think it's a shame that someone as handsome as you doesn't use the internet..."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ran sighed, "You can't lie to people, can you? Just film some slice-of-life content, at least you'll have some basis for your claims when they get exposed, right?"

"But the life aspect isn't explosive enough..."

Huang Xiao murmured for a moment, then looked up and said seriously, "Brother, you might not be very active online, but even online, it has to be explosive and eye-catching enough, with all sorts of contrasts to generate discussion..."

Jiang Ran undoubtedly agreed with Huang Xiao's words. After all, it would be terrible to see news like "My mother is actually my grandmother, and my father is my brother."

Jiang Ran admitted that she would indeed click in to take a look.

Looking at the dejected little face in front of him, Jiang Ran couldn't help but soften his heart after all, she was his good brother's sister.

His eyes flashed, and he smiled, saying, "If you just want a bit of contrast, I have a good idea."

Huang Xiao's eyes lit up immediately!

Clearing his throat, Jiang Ran continued, "I've been thinking about this for so long and I'm still planning to set up a food stall. If you're going to go by what you said, and I'm considered handsome, then a handsome guy quitting his job to set up a food stall should generate a lot of buzz, right?"

"Like the tofu beauty?!"

Huang Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, and he looked at Jiang Ran with excitement.

"Pretty much the same!"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "I haven't decided what to do yet. I was originally planning to sell small accessories with you, but we had to go through all the procedures, and it would be better to just sell food instead."

"Of course we have to sell things that girls like!!"

Huang Xiao's eyes flashed, and another mischievous idea popped into his head. "Small cakes, tiramisu, and stuff like that, but it's winter now, how about we sell roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts instead?!"

"Okay."

Jiang Ran smiled and nodded, her gaze falling on the vines at her feet. "However, it seems you won't have time to take pictures of me for a while. The orders that have already been paid for will be yours!"

"Huh?! Bro, you can't do this! Fifty-odd... no, damn it, how come there are thirty more orders?! Ahhh—"

It was a little past 4 p.m. when I left Huang Xiao's house.

Seeing that Wen Ling had sent the exact location of the private photography studio on his phone, Jiang Ran didn't dare linger and quickly drove there...
