The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 11

Chapter 11: Dog-Blood High Society

Lu Shichen returned home from his business trip and immediately resumed his work here. Gu Xiu also went back to working two jobs.

Fortunately, he didn’t have to live-stream every day. The content of his streams was just showing off his wealth, which was simple. The mansion provided an endless supply of material, making it easy and quick.

After displaying all of Lu Shichen’s clothes and accessories, the number of followers on his live-streaming account “Gugujiu” soared to twenty thousand within a week. The number of online viewers for each stream was consistently over two thousand, which was quite astonishing.

Although many people insisted that the things he showed off were fake and the house was rented, and that they would never follow him, it was also true that they waited for his stream to start at a fixed time every day.

Faced with the passionate audience, Gu Xiu was very calm. The only thing he put effort into was how to fill the live-stream time.

He didn’t sing or dance, nor did he interact much with his fans. After working all day, he naturally had no energy to use his brain at night. He would play on his phone for a while and eat some snacks.

Even so, the number of viewers in the live stream only increased.

Today, he was focused on eating snacks, lazily curled up in a chair. The righteous people who were crusading against him for showing off his wealth had to temporarily quiet down. The comments were taken over by a pack of hungry, wolf-like girls. Every time he moved a finger, it would trigger a wave of comments.

【Teacher Gu, are you interested in being a hand model? Your hands are really beautiful. Contact me anytime if you’re interested [/rose]】

【Jiujiu, it looks like there’s something dirty on your neck. Send it over and I’ll lick it for you】

【You cunning…】

Unfortunately, no matter how cunning the comments were, they couldn’t attract the streamer’s attention. At this moment, he took out a bag of potato chips, tore it open with a rustle, and started eating with single-minded focus.

Crunch, crunch. The evening’s wealth-flaunting live stream turned into a food ASMR.

【The streamer must have an ad for AA potato chips, right? Creating a streamer IP just to sell potato chips is something else】

【But yesterday the streamer was eating the competitor BB’s potato chips and crispy noodles. I feel like he’s just genuinely hungry…】

【Even though it looks like an ad, he’s eating so deliciously that my mouth is watering. Does anyone understand?】

【This is ridiculous. Streamer, where’s your shopping cart? Add some products to your shopping cart! Are you going to let people buy or not??】

【I don’t know, so I’m asking, how much to buy the streamer himself?】

As he ate, his fingers became covered in the essence of the potato chip seasoning and salt. Gu Xiu looked down, and thinking that the live-stream camera couldn’t see his face, he simply put his fingers in his mouth and sucked hard.

The viewers in the live stream couldn’t see his unrefined action of licking his fingers, but they could hear the sticky sound from his mouth and see the fingers, glistening with moisture, reaching into the potato chip bag again.

【Ahhhhhh I suspect this man is seducing me】

【Streamer, stop sucking your fingers and come suck my mouth!!】

【Streamer, suck my ****】

And so on, all sorts of indecent comments, frantically testing the boundaries of the live stream’s ban.

Suddenly, accompanied by festive confetti and colorful ribbons, a cool animated special effect slid onto the screen, blocking the young man who was being scrutinized by thousands of pairs of eyes.

—A7993344 has sent a Dream Castle to the streamer Gugujiu!

The fireworks of the starry Dream Castle had just faded when a city with a futuristic, dreamy feel appeared.

—A7993344 has sent a Modern Metropolis to the streamer Gugujiu!

The two most valuable gifts directly caused the screen to freeze for a few seconds.

Then, an astonishing number of comments poured in.

【Holy shit, Teacher Gu, your immense fortune has arrived!】

【If he’s really a rich second-generation, he wouldn’t be short of this little gift, would he?】

【I knew showing off wealth was just for traffic. The streamer’s ultimate fate is still to sell his looks to attract a rich woman】

【Hahaha, why can’t it be a rich man?】

【The top contributor has made a strong appearance. The next step is probably to ask for private contact information, right?】

【Hahaha, the streamer’s rich second-generation persona is about to collapse】

Out of the camera’s view, the person at the center of the storm had a stunned expression. He was far less familiar with these live-streaming routines than the audience. He called the system in his mind, confused: 【007, what is this?】

The host really had no common sense about living in a peaceful modern world… The small silver ball of light, which clearly had no hands or feet, seemed to be strolling on the table like a toddling old father. It circled the live-streaming phone before saying: 【This is a gift from the live stream. If the audience likes you, they’ll give you money. These two luxury gifts are worth about fifty thousand, but the platform will take half as a commission…】

The purchasing power of the RMB in this world was roughly the same as the points in the main god space. Hearing this, Gu Xiu’s eyes lit up, and he even stopped chewing the potato chips in his mouth.

【Fifty thousand? I can earn this much just by sitting here and eating potato chips??】 Gu Xiu was dumbfounded. 【If I stream a few more times, will I still be afraid of being kicked out of the Gu family? I can’t even imagine how happy my life will be after I’m kicked out of the country…】

At this moment, a bubble with a golden border popped up, floating high above the comment box.

A7993344: 【Go to bed early.】

【The top contributor has spoken, hahahaha】

【The rich lady is so generous. She doesn’t even want private contact information, just a look at some photos first?】

【Ahhhhhh I’m so curious what Jiujiu looks like】

【I checked his homepage. It seems to be a rich man!】

【Wow, he has that domineering CEO vibe】

Gu Xiu caught the key sentence: The top contributor has spoken.

Adhering to the principle of “take what you’re given and take more next time,” he quickly agreed and ended the live stream without hesitation, going to bed early.

The next day was Monday.

Last week, Lu Shichen had been flying all over the country for various meetings and collaborations. Sometimes he would come home in the middle of the night when he was already asleep, and by the time he woke up in the morning, Lu Shichen had already left.

Today was the first time Gu Xiu had personally accompanied his boss to court.

Inevitably, he lost the privilege of lazing in bed until the last minute. He was rushed by Butler Tong and Lu Shichen in turns and could only stuff his tie into his pocket. At 8:20, he left with Lu Shichen, escorted by a driver to the company.

Gu Xiu yawned endlessly. He tied his tie, and as soon as the car was on the smooth highway, he fell asleep, catching up on sleep all the way to the company’s entrance.

“Gu Xiu.”

“Huh?”

Gu Xiu jolted and sat up straight.

He turned his head and saw that Lu Shichen beside him had already opened the car door and was getting out. Gu Xiu quickly opened his door and followed, taking the management-only elevator upstairs with him to avoid squeezing in with the ordinary employees.

Huanya Pictures had many contracted artists. The big names rarely came to the company, and the main activity area for ordinary artists and models was downstairs.

At this moment, the large office area on the 15th floor was unusually lively. There was a large crowd of people, including many tall and well-dressed handsome men and beautiful women.

A boy with a standard internet-famous face was leaning lazily against a desk. A group of white-collar workers had turned their swivel chairs towards him, creating a scene of stars revolving around the moon. The boy had a proud and arrogant smile on his face, clearly enjoying the situation.

“I didn’t expect Chairman Lu to personally select the actors… Chairman Lu keeps his word. Since it’s a national audition, it’s really a national audition. It’s all based on ability, no inside deals.”

Gossip about the boss was an indispensable part of office talk.

“Xiao Che, you can definitely do it,” someone flattered the boy. “You’re already a contracted model with Huanya. We should keep the benefits within the family.”

“You know, last time I ran into Chairman Lu in the back garden, I noticed he kept looking at Xiao Che. He must be very interested in Xiao Che, right?”

Yu Che was so flattered that the corners of his mouth rose to the heavens. He lifted his chin arrogantly, looked around, and pouted, “Why isn’t Chairman Lu here yet?”

8:55 a.m.

Gu Xiu had only started changing his clothes just before leaving, which delayed them by a few minutes. The two of them arrived on the 15th floor just in time.

The chairman’s appearance instantly silenced the entire room. Everyone turned to look at him with respectful attention.

As a model who had once caught Lu Shichen’s eye, Yu Che directly went up to him, full of confidence, and said with a smile, “Chairman Lu, good morning!”

Who knew that the man’s eyes behind his glasses were indifferent. He looked at him as if he were a stranger, and his words were even more impersonal. “Who are you? If you need something from me, please contact Amanda.”

After saying that, he glanced at his watch, and his brow immediately furrowed. He reached out and pulled the slow-moving Gu Xiu over, his steps swift as he dragged him towards the office.

The two of them walked quickly into the corridor without looking back. Gu Xiu was dragged and stumbled, unable to help but mumble.

“Even if I crawled, there would have been enough time…”

“We’re already at the company. Are you still going to count me as late!”

Everyone gave a thumbs-up to Yu Che, who had bravely gone up to block the way and greet him, respecting him as a true man. But when they saw the young man who was openly bickering with Lu Shichen, they were not surprised at all.

Yu Che’s face was ugly. After the two of them left, he immediately turned around and asked, “Who is that?”

“Chairman Lu’s new assistant, the office’s crown prince.”

“What?” Yu Che’s delicate brows furrowed together. He couldn’t understand these two completely different and parallel titles.

“It’s Chairman Lu’s distant nephew, Gu Xiu from the Gu family.”

Gu Xiu.

Yu Che had heard this name before. He was a notorious profligate in the rich second-generation circle, with no learning or skills. He was only a fourth-generation collateral relative of Lu Shichen.

Lu Shichen’s maternal cousin, who was also Gu Xiu’s father, had done him a favor. Therefore, after Gu Xiu returned to the country a few months ago, Lu Shichen would occasionally ask him to come to the company to sit in on meetings and see the world.

But that was all.

Lu Shichen was grateful, but he was not a philanthropist.

If Gu Xiu were a promising talent, it would be a different story. But the fact was the opposite. Gu Xiu was the kind of rotten wood that Lu Shichen looked down on the most, rotten to the core, with a beautiful shell that was empty inside.

But, how long had it been, and this person had become Lu Shichen’s personal assistant?

It was simply unbelievable, incredible, and unreasonable.

And…

“Did Gu Xiu always look like that?” Yu Che murmured.

The onlookers didn’t notice his ugly expression and said casually, “Haha, right? I was also quite surprised. As expected of Chairman Lu’s nephew. After a good makeover, he’s a handsome guy who’s not inferior to a big star!”

And the crown prince of the office in the gossip was now curled up in a soft swivel chair, his chin propped up on one hand, staring blankly at the dazzling analysis report on the computer.

This desk and chair had been specially prepared for him by Lu Shichen. Otherwise, if he sat on the sofa and used the coffee table for work, he would be sucked in by the sofa at any moment and fall asleep on it.

The angle of this desk was also just right. Even if he hid behind the computer and slept on the desk, he couldn’t escape Lu Shichen’s watchful eye.

Tsk.

Last night’s live stream had given Gu Xiu another way to make money. He said to 007 in his mind: 【I was originally thinking of sucking up to Ninth Uncle to get a bigger pension in the future, but I have to act up and go against him according to my persona. I’m going to have a split personality. Haha, now I can finally provoke him with all my heart.】

007 was a little worried: 【Jiujiu, take it easy…】

Gu Xiu: 【Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.】

On matters that didn’t violate his bottom line principles, Lu Shichen’s tolerance was actually quite good. As expected of the young and promising chairman of a listed group.

Gu Xiu’s demands weren’t high either. He would just doze off, eat snacks. He was forced to compete with others for the protagonist shou, let alone commit crimes.

He took out a bag of puffy, nitrogen-filled potato chips from his backpack, waved it, and attracted the attention of the person who was concentrating on his work. He asked, “Ninth Uncle, I’m a little hungry. Can I eat potato chips in the office?”

He seemed to be politely asking for permission.

A person like Lu Shichen, who cared so much about his image, wouldn’t sternly refuse such a small matter. At most, he would give him a look.

And coincidentally, he couldn’t read looks, haha.

As expected, Lu Shichen glanced at him faintly and said nothing.

Gu Xiu was satisfied and tore open the potato chip bag.

Today, he had switched to a new brand of potato chips. He planned to make the most of his time working in this world and try all the snacks on the supermarket shelves.

Crunch.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

The office was filled with the aroma of potato chips, and the sound of chewing was endless.

“…”

Lu Shichen was not a person who was easily swayed by his surroundings. And to be honest, Gu Xiu was just eating a snack and occasionally calling out “Ninth Uncle.” It wasn’t that noisy.

But an indescribable restlessness swept over him. The dense small words on the document seemed to turn into writhing ants. His itchy eyes couldn’t help but glance at Gu Xiu again and again.

Gu Xiu ate as if no one else was there, licking his fingers until they were glistening.

Finally, he took out a paper towel to wipe his hands. He licked his lips, still wanting more. It seemed that after a difficult internal struggle, his weak willpower finally surrendered to the small snacks. He took out another bag of potato chips.

He brought the bright yellow plastic packaging to his mouth, and with a rustle, he bit and tore it open, releasing the natural aroma of roasted oil.

Gu Xiu’s habits were really bad. He licked his fingers while eating potato chips, and the tips of his fingers were white.

However, Lu Shichen’s Adam’s apple couldn’t help but bob up and down, swallowing along with him.

Every one of his movements seemed to be in slow motion. Combined with the images from last night’s live stream, it was like a wet piece of paper sticking tightly to Lu Shichen’s mind.

Now that he thought about it, even the action of biting open the potato chip bag seemed seductive.
