Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Got a Sister-in-Law, Forgot Your Sister

「Meanwhile.」

Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi were thoroughly enjoying the drama their audience had concocted.

It was just like reading a novel.

But the moment the stream ended, his sister called.

Su Ruoxi answered Xiaoman’s video call with a smile.

The familiar face from the stream was now right up against the screen.

”Brother, I didn’t expect this to be the surprise you had for me!”

”That five-million-yuan gift... even I feel the sting of it!”

At that moment, as Lin Xiaoman said this, she truly had a pained expression on her face.

The ever-lively Xiaoman made Su Ruoxi burst out laughing.

It swept away all the unhappiness Su Ruoxi had been feeling lately.

”It’s alright. Since your brother’s the one who gifted it to you, you should just accept it!”

Su Ruoxi said to Xiaoman with a smile.

When Lin Feng saw his sister’s pained expression, he knew exactly how she felt.

After all, they’d been siblings for so many years.

Lin Feng only needed a moment to know exactly what his little sister was thinking.

Lin Feng said with the calm air of a seasoned pro, ”You gained a lot of fans today, you know.”

”Think of it as an intangible asset. It’s much more valuable than the cut the platform takes.”

”The revenue your new followers will generate in the future will be far more than what the platform takes.”

Lin Feng patiently explained to his sister.

It wasn’t that Lin Xiaoman didn’t understand the logic.

She had just gotten stuck on one way of thinking.

She’d been accidentally obsessing over the details.

Lin Xiaoman was very smart to begin with.

So with this gentle nudge from Lin Feng, she quickly understood.

In fact, what Lin Feng did today was similar to what he’d done during her very first stream.

Come to think of it, the results both times were nearly identical.

Both times, he had directly helped Xiaoman gain a huge number of followers.

”Alright, I’ve given you your bonus.”

Seeing that his sister understood, Lin Feng immediately feigned an impatient look.

He clearly wanted to hang up.

Lin Xiaoman immediately slipped back into her usual bickering banter with Lin Feng. ”Hmph! The moment you get a girlfriend, you forget all about your sister! Putting romance before family!”

Beside them, Su Ruoxi was happily watching the siblings bicker.

She didn’t expect to be dragged into it all of a sudden.

A gentle, somewhat resigned smile appeared on her face.

Su Ruoxi was, after all, a campus belle-level beauty.

Her every frown and smile exuded charm.

This was especially true now that her relationship with Lin Feng had become so intimate.

Her every move held an alluring grace.

That one smile made Lin Xiaoman, who happened to glance over, stop and stare, completely mesmerized.

”With a face like that, you wouldn’t even need to gift me, Brother! Just have her make one appearance on my stream and I’d gain a million followers for sure!”

Lin Feng replied to his sister with a sigh, ”Alright, alright, just focus on your own stream. Gain followers with your own skills, and don’t you go trying to rope your girlfriend into this!”

Of course, Lin Xiaoman knew it was a long shot...

She had just seen how beautiful Su Ruoxi looked and blurted it out without thinking.

However, Lin Xiaoman suddenly thought of something.

She turned and stared intently at her brother. ”Brother, for you to just drop several million on me like that...”

”Did you have another successful investment?”

Faced with her brother’s ever-increasing generosity...

Lin Xiaoman was starting to wonder if her brother was into something illegal.

This time, Lin Feng didn’t even have to say a word.

Su Ruoxi, who was beside him, glanced at him with eyes full of adoration before explaining to Lin Xiaoman.

”Speaking of which, Brother Feng has been on an absolute roll with his investments this month. The returns are terrifyingly high.”

Seeing Su Ruoxi look at her brother with such adoration, Lin Xiaoman grew curious about just how much Lin Feng had actually made in the stock market.

”Just how high are the returns?”

”Let’s see if you can shock me!”

In truth, Su Ruoxi had only seen the time Lin Feng invested a large sum of money in the United States stock market.

As for how much profit Lin Feng had actually gained from his investments over the past month, Su Ruoxi wasn’t entirely sure either.

However, Lin Feng trusted both Su Ruoxi and his sister completely.

After all, one was his own flesh and blood.

And the other was the woman with whom he shared the highest level of intimacy.

Therefore, Lin Feng had no intention of hiding it from them.

He simply held up a hand, making a gesture for the number seven.

”It’s not that much. Just a seven-hundred-percent return on investment, I guess.”

Lin Feng said, downplaying it.

Lin Xiaoman was now staring at Lin Feng, completely dumbfounded.

Even Su Ruoxi, who had witnessed Lin Feng’s bold investments in the United States stock market, never imagined that in a single month, Lin Feng could actually make the investment company’s capital multiply seven times over.

”Alright then, Brother!”

”You really are the best brother ever!”

”Now I’m thinking the gift you sent me was a little on the small side!”

A sycophantic smile plastered itself across Lin Xiaoman’s face.

Lin Feng knew what his sister was thinking with a single glance.

”I’ve gifted you more than enough for one day. It’s more than enough for pocket money, too!”

”My dear sister, it’s time you learned to stand on your own two feet!”

Shut down by Lin Feng’s words, Xiaoman couldn’t think of a good comeback for a moment.

Just at that moment, Xiaoman’s phone rang.

An unfamiliar number was calling.

So Lin Xiaoman said goodbye to Lin Feng and Su Ruoxi and hung up the video call.

”Hello, who is this?”

Lin Xiaoman asked after answering the call.

”Hello, we’re from Chengyu Live Culture Co., Ltd.”

”We noticed your follower count during your stream today, Miss Lin.”

”So I won’t beat around the bush.”

”Our platform can offer you a better revenue split than what you’re getting on your current platform.”

”Would you be willing to consider it, Miss Lin?”

The person on the other end spoke in a rapid-fire burst.

Lin Xiaoman couldn’t quite process it at first.

But after a brief pause, she understood what the caller was getting at.

’So that’s what this is. They saw my amazing performance today, and now another company is trying to poach me...’

Lin Xiaoman politely listened to the person’s introduction.

It was supposedly an introduction, but in reality, they were just pitching their company to her.

They kept encouraging her to bring her fans and jump ship to their platform.

As someone with at least one foot in the real world, Lin Xiaoman had a good head on her shoulders.

She wasn’t about to be swayed by a few sweet-sounding, empty promises.

So after listening to the person’s hard sell, Lin Xiaoman replied with a tactful smile, ”Thank you so much for your company’s interest. I’ll definitely give it some thought.”

After speaking, Lin Xiaoman exchanged a few more pleasantries with the other party and then ended the call.
