Li Shuang, upon being scolded by Chen Dajie, said with extreme trepidation, "President Chen, I merely wanted to sign this streamer. I sent her many messages as her manager, and she didn't reply to a single one, so I administered a small punishment."
Li Shuang felt wronged, as he was considering the company's interests.
Of course, he wouldn't reveal his personal motives.
Li Shuang suspected that Lin'er must have told the two young masters, and they then found President Chen.
Otherwise, how could President Chen possibly concern himself with such a trivial matter?
Li Shuang was unaware of the gravity of the situation, thinking that being scolded a few times and then unlocking Lin'er's gift revenue would suffice.
"Stop giving me excuses. I'm too lazy to talk to you further. You resign yourself." Chen Dajie couldn't be bothered to explain more to Li Shuang.
"President Chen, I admit I was wrong, but surely it doesn't warrant my dismissal?" Li Shuang felt a wave of panic.
The company wanted to fire him over such a small matter?
He had finally managed to climb to the position of department manager at Shark Platform, with good benefits. Anyone would be reluctant to leave.
"There's no point in saying more. The situation has escalated beyond your imagination. President Ma himself called me. Do you think you still have the qualifications to negotiate terms with me? Considering your years with the company, I'll give you some face. Hurry up and submit your resignation letter."
Chen Dajie waved Li Shuang away, signaling him to leave.
Li Shuang was stunned by this.
President Ma himself made the call?
Thinking this, Li Shuang's heart turned to ashes, and he dejectedly walked out.
Such a petty person was not worth pity. Chen Dajie personally handled the unfreezing of Lin'er's revenue. To express Shark Platform's apology, all gifts this time would be fully refunded to Lin'er, with the platform taking no cut. From now on, Lin'er's revenue from live streaming on Shark Platform would be split 9-1, with the company taking only 10% and Lin'er taking 90%.
Chen Dajie spared no expense to quell this matter, fearing a mishandling of the situation.
When Xia Lin received the news, she found it hard to believe.
The full refund of gifts meant she had gained tens of millions for nothing?
"Young Master Wang, the matter has been resolved. Shark Platform has fully refunded my gift revenue, and I've gained tens of millions more. Thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow to express my gratitude."
Xia Lin knew this matter was related to the "National Young Master Wang." She edited a WeChat message and sent it to express her thanks.
"Lin'er, as long as it's resolved, it's fine. Young Master Qin also helped. Do you want to invite him too?" Da Feng Novel Network
The "National Young Master Wang" was being a loyal big brother, not forgetting his second brother at this moment.
"Okay, push his WeChat to me. I'll talk to him myself."
Xia Lin replied.
Then, the "National Young Master Wang" sent Qin Dou's WeChat. Xia Lin clicked to add him.
Qin Dou was currently getting a massage at a high-end club. The after-effects of his strenuous moving were starting to set in, and his whole body ached.
*Ding...*
Suddenly, his phone chimed. Qin Dou half-opened his eyes and checked WeChat.
Seeing that Lin'er had added him, Qin Dou immediately sat up, looking surprised. The woman giving him a massage was startled by his sudden reaction.
Qin Dou quickly accepted the friend request and sent a message, saying, "Lin'er, it's Qin Dou."
"Young Master Qin, thank you for your help. Young Master Wang told me. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow. Are you free?"
Lin'er soon replied.
"Free, always free."
Qin Dou edited a message and sent it.
Xia Lin inviting him to dinner was something he would never miss; he would make time even if he didn't have any.
After a brief chat, Xia Lin put down her phone and walked over to Xia Feng, saying, "Brother, does the house need some decorations? It feels like something is missing."
"I'll decorate it. I happen to have some things." Xia Feng used this as an excuse and went out.
Xia Feng didn't go anywhere else. He wandered around for a bit and then returned with some items.
Seeing Xia Feng return with a large pile of things shortly after leaving, Xia Lin didn't pry.
They helped Xia Feng place the returned items in various spots around the house.
In the evening, Xia Lin began her livestream as usual.
"Hello everyone, I'm starting my livestream now."
Xia Lin greeted everyone in the livestream room.
Netizen 3261: Lin'er, a day apart feels like three years.
Netizen 887: Lin'er, where's your brother?
Netizen 6987: Lin'er, I've arrived in Shanghai. I wonder if I can run into you.
Netizen 9872: Lin'er, sister, you're so beautiful.

"It's been a while since I streamed games for you all. Today, I'm planning to stream a few games for you." Xia Lin said to the camera. Da Feng Novel
Netizen 6844: No... absolutely not.
Netizen 877: We don't want to watch you play games. If you play games, we'll unfollow.
Netizen 974: Yes, unfollow if you play games.
Netizen 631: We want to see your brother! Who's going to watch you play games?
Xia Lin: ......
"My brother is in his room. Should I sneak a photo?" Xia Lin was quite frustrated.
Her livestream room was going to become her brother's livestream room from now on.
Netizen 332: You can do anything, just don't stream games. It's unbearable to watch.
Netizen 698: Show us your house. Ever since you moved, we haven't had a good look.
Netizen 6698: +1
Netizen .....: Agreed.
Netizen 68744: Seconded.
"Alright then." Xia Lin finally agreed to their request and began to move the camera to show off her villa.
Netizen 6994: Lin'er, your house is so big.
Netizen 662: What are you stating the obvious for? Lin'er is a hidden wealthy woman.
Netizen 366: Take me in.
Netizen 6987: The person above, go pee first and look at yourself in the mirror.
Netizen 97441: Haha... Show-off.
Xun Baozhai tipped Lin'er with a rocket +20 and left a message: "Lin'er, slow down the camera a bit. Let me see that calligraphy and painting."
Suddenly receiving the notification of the rocket tip, Xia Lin glanced at the livestream room and noticed Xun Baozhai's message.
Xia Lin asked, pointing to the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, "Is it this one?"
Xun Baozhai: "Yes, yes, focus on it a bit more. Let me see it clearly."
Netizen 987: Could this calligraphy and painting have something special about it?
Netizen 3311: Just look at his name, and you'll know he's an expert.
Netizen 32217: What expert? There are experts everywhere online now. I'm an expert too, a girl-chasing expert.
Xun Baozhai: "Lin'er, are you selling this calligraphy and painting?"
"This netizen, this calligraphy and painting was brought back by my brother today. Are you guys still collecting these?" Xia Lin asked curiously.
Xun Baozhai: "Lin'er, as long as your brother is willing to part with it, I'm willing to buy it for 5 million."
Netizen 9744: How much? 5 million? Holy crap, is that true or not?
Netizen 221: No way, a random calligraphy and painting hanging in the house is worth 5 million?
Netizen 6698: This must be a joke to Lin'er, right?
Netizen 320: +1
It wasn't just the netizens who didn't believe it; Xia Lin herself didn't believe it. She asked doubtfully, "This netizen, what kind of calligraphy and painting is this that it's worth five million? Besides, even if it's a genuinely valuable piece, you can't tell its authenticity from the camera, can you?"
Xun Baozhai: "I know. I've seen too many printed copies of this calligraphy and painting. This one should be real. Look at the back of the calligraphy and painting, there's a seal. You can see it clearly if you shine a light on it."
Xia Lin, half-believingly, turned on her phone's flashlight and, following Xun Baozhai's instructions, found the back of the calligraphy and painting. Shining the light on it, she indeed saw a seal.
"There's really a seal!" Xia Lin exclaimed in surprise.
Netizen: Whose calligraphy and painting is this?
Netizen 3368: Is it really worth five million?
Netizen 3321: Holy crap.....
