Chapter 9 The Landlady's Request
Chapter 9 The Landlady's Request
"Sister Chen, I really mean it. Sister Chen, I won't brag anymore. I'm carrying all this stuff, I'm going upstairs now."
Yang Xun smiled shyly and carried the items inside.
"Xiao Xun, let me give you some pointers."
Chen Rongqian quickly took the bags and asked curiously, "By the way, Xiao Xun, do you really make that much money doing live streaming? Are you signed with a company or are you a solo streamer? What kind of content do you stream? I'll check out your live stream when I have time."
There was nothing to hide, so Yang Xun told the truth: "Sister Chen, I'm a personal streamer. I'm not signed with any company. As for the content of my streams, I help people find their cats, dogs, pets, and other items. I don't know if I make money, but I personally think it's better than working a regular job."
"Xiao Xun, you're bragging. Do you think I'm some kind of old-fashioned person? I do know a thing or two about live streaming. There's no way you can become popular and make money by live streaming to find pets."
Chen Rongqian looked incredulous: "Xiao Xun, are you hooking up with some rich woman and just not telling me?"
"I swear to God, I really didn't lie to you, Sister Chen."
Yang Xun complained, then turned to Chen Rongqian and smiled, "Sister Chen, if I really wanted to hook up with a rich woman, I'd take advantage of my proximity. If I were to hook up with someone, it would be you, Sister Chen."
"Haha, Xiao Xun, so you were trying to hook up with me!"
Chen Rongqian laughed heartily, then turned serious: "But Xiao Xun, do you think I'm someone you can just cling to? If you tell me honestly what you do to earn so much money, maybe I can give you a chance."
"Sister Chen, I really am a live-streaming discoverer. If you don't believe me, I'll show you in a bit and you'll see."
Yang Xun couldn't help but glance at Chen Rongqian, whose upper body was trembling, a few more times before looking away. He took out his key, opened the door to the rented room, and asked, "Sister Chen, would you like to come in and sit for a while? I bought a lot of food, and it would be a bit unreasonable not to invite you in for a bite."
"Xiao Xun, even if you don't invite me, I'll still come in and sit down. I'll help you carry your things. I've done a good job, so I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't eat something."
"Okay, Sister Chen, please come in. Please sit down for a while, I'll go wash some fruit."
Upon entering the hall, Yang Xun took a bag of oranges, washed them, and brought them back to the table. He then sat down and said, "Sister Chen, have some oranges."
"it is good."
Without any hesitation, Chen Rongqian quickly peeled an orange, handed half to Yang Xun, and then asked, "Xiao Xun, where's the exploration livestreamer? I'm waiting for you."
Yang Xun took out his phone and opened the backend of the live streaming platform: "Sister Chen, look, am I a treasure hunting live streamer? This is my income for the past few days, plus the reward from the owner of the lost item. It adds up to a considerable amount. Otherwise, where would I get so much money?"
Chen Rongqian looked at the money in the backstage and was very surprised: "Wow, Xiao Xun, you earned more than two thousand yuan from the platform in just one or two days. That's a bit scary. Xiao Xun, you don't have a team working together to put on an act, do you?"
Yang Xun shook his head: "No, it's just me. It means exactly what it says, a real lost and found. The owners really have lost their pets. In the past two days, I've helped people find mynahs, dogs, and turtles. If you have any friends who have lost their pets and want to find them, feel free to contact me."
This is one of the reasons why Yang Xun invited Chen Rongqian to come in and sit down.
Because Chen Rongqian is a local, she knows many wealthy people, which gives her the opportunity to bring in the business of finding and retrieving lost items.
Otherwise, relying solely on going out to the bulletin board every day to look for lost and found notices would be exhausting and wouldn't be conducive to making money later.
Of course, he had never tried triggering the system to find items without posting a lost and found notice.
Even if he doesn't trigger the system's item-finding function, he'll still wander around outside every day. Maybe he'll just happen to run into these missing pets, which wouldn't be a bad thing, would it?
Chen Rongqian was even more surprised and asked, "No... Xiao Xun, you don't have a team to help you. How would you know where those missing pets are if you were actually searching for them? It's impossible for you to just go out randomly and happen to run into them."
Yang Xun smiled mysteriously: "Sister Chen, you don't need to worry about that. Anyway, I have my own way. Of course, it's not 100% certain, but there is a certain degree of certainty. Otherwise, how could I become a real object-hunting anchor?"
"Xiao Xun, I still don't believe it."
Despite Yang Xun's confident demeanor, Chen Rongqian shook her head slightly. But then, as if suddenly remembering something, she spoke again: "Xiao Xun, since you're so good at bragging, I haven't seen one of my cats for the past few days. If you help me find it, I'll waive three months' rent for you."
Ding.
[Category: A request from Chen Rongqian to find a tabby cat. Accept? Refuse?]
Upon seeing the information flashing on his forehead, Yang Xun was greatly excited and readily accepted this invaluable commission.
[A tabby cat commissioned by Chen Rongqian.]
[Object Detection Radar: The location of this tabby cat is shown as a red dot on the map.]
The two consecutive messages displayed on the light screen further confirmed Yang Xun's earlier guess.
Without needing a notice board, there's a chance the item will be found if someone asks him to find it.
Sure enough.
It seems that his landlady is truly his benefactor.
Chen Rongqian saw Yang Xun's startled reaction, and the sparkling look in his eyes as he looked at her made her inexplicably nervous. A hint of shyness appeared on her pretty face, but she couldn't help but ask urgently, "Xiao Xun, what are you doing? I want to waive your rent for three months, but you have to help me find my cat first. Otherwise, unless you make me happy, I might just waive your rent."
Seeing Chen Rongqian's shy expression, Yang Xun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Chen, I'll help you find your cat, but it's a deal: if I help you find your cat, you have to waive my rent for three months, okay?"
Chen Rongqian laughed and said, "Xiao Xun, I always keep my word, but I'm just afraid you won't be able to help me find my cat."
"Sister Chen, don't worry about that. Anyway, I promised you. There's no time to lose, I'll set off to look for the cat right now."
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Xun was afraid that if he didn't find the tabby cat today, the commission would disappear after today, and he would suffer a great loss.
"So urgent? Okay, I'll go upstairs and lie down for a bit too. I wish you all the best in finding my cat, Xiao Xun."
Seeing that Yang Xun not only stood up but also had a determined look in his eyes, Chen Rongqian felt it was inappropriate to continue as a guest. She got up, left a blessing, and went upstairs.
Watching the graceful figure depart with a fragrant breeze, Yang Xun withdrew his gaze, took out his equipment, and started a live stream, introducing himself to the camera as he left.
"Family members, the host has a new task. I just received a request to help find a tabby cat that has been missing for a few days. Family members, keep guessing, can the host find this cat before today?"
Instantly, the live stream room with a dozen or so viewers was filled with doubts.
"Host, you're not even acting anymore. There's not even a missing cat notice. This is so fake."
"This is ridiculously fake. If the streamer is so careless and resorts to deception, you'll never become famous."
"No need to ask, if you're going to fake it like this, you'll definitely find the cat later, streamer."
"It was somewhat interesting before, but it's not now. I'm not watching anymore, bye!"
……
Yang Xun kept a close eye on the live stream, but he was too lazy to explain anything. Instead, he clicked on the red dot on the map of the tabby cat and went downstairs toward his destination.
"Hey, you're here at the park again, aren't you?"
Just over ten minutes later, as Yang Xun entered the park entrance where the cats were headed, someone called out to him from behind.
He quickly turned around and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here? What are you doing here?"
