Chapter 803: Retirement Lifestyle Streamers Don’t Lack Money (2)
Translator: Lordbluefire
Xiao Yi explained, “For streamers with similar numbers of fans, the cost of a single advertisement is at most 500,000 yuan. They are offering 5 million because we haven’t done any product placements or advertisements before, and they know Miss Shen’s standing in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. They think she is worth that price. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, if we are going to do product placements, we must ensure that the products are of good quality. 1 believe with Miss Shen here, we can achieve that, right?”
Ah, Miss Shen’s medical skills are indeed admirable. If it’s a product she approves of, I might consider buying it.
But it doesn’t feel right when I think of Miss Shen doing product placements. What should I do?
—5 million, who can resist such temptation?
Just when everyone thought that 5 million was a significant amount, they heard Chu Cichen speak up, “I refuse.”
Everyone in the live stream room was stunned.
Did I mishear it? He refused 5 million?
He refused 5 million, not 500,000, right?
-Oh my, he has integrity!
Is it true? I feel like it’s just an act. How could he really refuse 5 million?
Xiao Yi also found it unbelievable. He looked at Chu Cichen in astonishment. “No, 1 wasn’t talking about 500 yuan; I meant 5 million. It’s the top-tier advertisement fee in the industry. Besides, the product is good, from a well-known manufacturer!”
Chu Cichen responded, “I know.”
Xiao Yi asked, “So you still refuse?”
“I’m not short of money.”
Chu Cichen’s answer left Xiao Yi momentarily silent.
On the barrage, comments of “666” floated up, and Xiao Yi’s doubters immediately started to organize the rhythm:
I think this is a play. Xiao Yi asked about taking advertisements as a test, to see how fans would react. But the reaction was too intense, especially with the concept of a high-achieving medical student becoming an internet celebrity. It’s indeed bad influence, so they dare not accept it. Now, they are immediately creating an image of being wealthy…
I agree with the comment above. Their family really doesn’t have much money. In this remote place, that house is worth only tens of thousands. I’ve seen them picking vegetables from their yard and buying whole pieces of meat. I even saw a whole pig; that kind of meat is cheap…
People with no money saying they’re not short of money, it’s really funny.
Chu Cichen also saw those comments. He suddenly smiled coldly and said to Xiao Yi, “You came at the right time. Lunch is ready. Would you like to come in and have some?”
Xiao Yi was dumbfounded.
These two people always kept their distance from others, and it was the first time Xiao Yi was invited inside.
He replied, pleasantly surprised, “Ah, can 1 really?”
“You can.”
Xiao Yi followed Chu Cichen into the house.
He saw a table set with an electric grill, indicating that they were planning to have barbecue for lunch.
Xiao Yi glanced around and asked, “Where’s the meat?”
Chu Cichen spoke up, “It’s in the kitchen. 1’11 get it.”
Xiao Yi followed him.
On the barrage, people started frantically shouting at them:
Xiao Yi, don’t eat! The meat has been sitting there for a long time; it’s not fresh!
Yes, with so many things in their fridge, they must have gone bad already, right?
Xiao Yi saw the comments and hesitated for a moment. He suddenly regretted stepping inside the house.
These two individuals were always frugal. What if the meat really went bad?
Should he eat it or not?
Well, even if his stomach hurt, he must eat the meat today!
With that in mind, Xiao Yi’s face revealed a look of resignation.
Shen Ruojing was in the kitchen, cutting the meat and preparing the skewers. When she heard footsteps, she spoke up, “The two of us can’t finish that much food. Next time we restock, buy less to avoid waste.”
Chu Cichen replied, “…I’ll follow your advice.”
Xiao Yi felt helpless.
Then he looked at the meat in Shen Ruojing’s hands and, after examining its texture, he was stunned.
As a popular internet celebrity, he had tasted a lot of good food….
