“Thinking you can knock out Hucheng’s number one rich second-generation with 200,000? What’s this guy thinking!”
“Mr. Qin would never bend over for 200,000! This is the biggest insult to Mr. Qin!”
“The other guy probably doesn’t know Mr. Qin’s identity, otherwise he wouldn’t do such a stupid thing!”
“Although Mr. Qin isn’t short of the 200,000, this bro is really loaded! He actually spent 200,000 for a box’s rights, badass!”
“It feels sort of odd seeing Yuan not flirting! Babe, show some leg!”
“Speaking of which, that big bro is quite handsome. Does anyone have his contact info or Kuaiyin account?”
“No update in ten minutes, waiting for the follow-up!”
“Yuan baby, keep us updated!!”
“…”
Zhao Yuanyuan had expected the video to attract a lot of attention after posting, but she never anticipated the traffic to surge so quickly. Usually, it would take an hour or two before her videos started to gain traction.
But this video had been online for just over ten minutes and had already been pushed by the official algorithm, and from the growth trends of comments and likes, this video was about to explode!
“Yuan, do you think that big bro can really cough up a million?”
While Zhao Yuanyuan was checking the video’s backstage data, Sun Yaru leaned in and asked in a low voice.
“Uh?”
“It should be possible!”
“I feel he’s not just talking big. Besides, he seemed very confident!”
Zhao Yuanyuan whispered back.
“Yeah, at first I thought he was all talk.”
“Now it seems he’s serious, and even if he ends up losing to Mr. Qin, he appears to be loaded. Might be worth getting to know!”
Sun Yaru whispered back.
The two were close friends, and they were the rare kind who weren’t just “plastic” friends, so they tended to be entirely open with each other when chatting.
“Eh, are these the stats for that video you just uploaded?”
Sun Yaru had glanced at the backstage data of the video on her friend’s phone and couldn’t help but exclaim.
She herself was a minor internet celebrity, so she was particularly sensitive to video data and knew well what kind of data could indicate a viral hit.
Yes, exactly like the data currently displayed on her friend’s phone—a viral hit in the making!
“Yuan, the video’s going to blow up!”
“Mhm, gotta catch this wave of traffic!”
As Sun Yaru expressed her amazement, she took out her phone and started filming the scene, and while doing some simple video editing, she said, “I’ve got to ride this wave of traffic too!”
“Maybe I’ll gain some followers!”
Sun Yaru said candidly.
Usually, when a topic or video gets hot, countless people jump on the bandwagon, and the quicker ones might get a bite of the meat, while the slower ones can at least sip some of the soup.
Because of Kuaiyin’s huge user base, there would always be someone who hadn’t seen a video or joke.
Zhao Yuanyuan, of course, wouldn’t stop her friend; it was just a way to make a living, after all. She was more concerned with the prospects of her own video.
After discovering that many netizens’ comments were “keep us updated,” Zhao Yuanyuan, very familiar with the underlying logic of new media, instantly recorded another video detailing the progress of the event and posted it to her Kuaiyin account.
Soon after the video was released, it quickly garnered hundreds of comments.
“Keep us updated!”
“Holy shit, a million?!”
“For real, the rights to a single booth are worth a million now?”
“I seriously suspect the money lying in my bank account isn’t the same currency as theirs!”
“Mr. Qin has met his match this time; the other party must be no small potato to challenge Hucheng’s number one rich second-generation like this!”
“Damn, I really want in on this drama! Yuan, start a live stream, I’ll give you a carnival of rewards!”
“Start streaming! Start streaming!! I can’t wait any longer!”
Zhao Yuanyuan was smiling as she scrolled through the netizens’ comments. At this point, who won or lost wasn’t important to her anymore.
What mattered was traffic and attention!
She sidled up to Qin Feng, showing him the video data she had just looked at, then cooed, “Mr. Qin, can I start a live stream? The netizens are really interested in this, and if I stream now, I could probably gain some followers!”

Qin Feng waved his hand, “It’s fine, go ahead and start the live stream if you want!”
“I don’t really care, but you’d better ask the other party.”
Naturally, it was necessary to obtain the consent of the people involved before live streaming.
Seeing that Qin Feng had no objections, Zhao Yuanyuan cozied up to Yang Hao with a smile and asked, “Boss, can I start a live stream?”
“I just posted a video, and netizens are quite interested in what’s happening here…”
Yang Hao, without waiting for Zhao Yuanyuan to finish, generously waved his hand, “Sure, no problem!”
In fact, Yang Hao already had his own ideas and approach for this matter.
If Zhao Yuanyuan were to live stream, it would only benefit Yang Hao’s subsequent moves!
“Alright, thank you, Boss!”
After obtaining consent from both parties, Zhao Yuanyuan immediately started the live stream with great enthusiasm.
“Guys, I’m live now.”
“That’s right, I’m at the scene of the incident, the one I mentioned in my video just now, and it’s not over yet, the price has gone up to a million!”
“Yes, you heard right.”
“This guy here is willing to pay a million to buy the rights to this private room!”
“Of course, Mr. Qin is not to be outdone, but he hasn’t mentioned a specific price yet…”
“Both parties have thought of a method, transferring the money to the Hushang Family account…”
Zhao Yuanyuan, while looking at the live stream camera, continued to describe the situation on site.
At this moment, Manager Wang returned after making a phone call.
He said obsequiously to Yang Hao and Qin Feng, “Gentlemen, I’ve already discussed this with the leadership, there’s no problem, our Hushang Family will cooperate with you two to complete this wager!”
“Now I’ll send the account details to you both.”
Manager Wang said, first sending the requested account information to Qin Feng as they were WeChat friends, which was more convenient.
Then, he sent the account information to Yang Hao.
“Weren’t you going to pay a million?”
“Is it time to transfer the money now?”
Once everything was ready, Pink Hair jumped back into the fray.
“Alright!”
Yang Hao nodded calmly. Let alone one million, even ten million or a hundred million were of no consequence to him.
After all, he now owned the “Hushang Family,” so whether he won or lost, he would be the ultimate winner.
Thus, Yang Hao quickly transferred a million to the Hushang Family’s account!
“Received!”
Manager Wang had been closely watching for the WeChat message, having instructed the finance department to screenshot and notify him upon receipt of the funds.
So, as soon as Yang Hao completed the transfer, the feedback from finance arrived, and he promptly declared loudly that Yang Hao’s transfer was received.
Upon hearing his announcement, Qin Feng and Pink Hair, along with the others, were extremely surprised.
Especially Pink Hair, whose eyes widened in shock. First, he had not expected Yang Hao to truly transfer a million, and second, he did not expect Yang Hao to transfer the money so quickly!
That was a million after all!
To transfer it just like that!!
In recent years, banks have had strict surveillance on large fund transfers; transferring a million isn’t easy, and if it were an ordinary person, it’s highly likely they wouldn’t be able to transfer a million through mobile banking!
If one went to the bank to transfer a million, they would need to explain the source and destination of the funds; in short, it’s quite a hassle.
So, being able to transfer a million in an instant is also a skill, a symbol of financial power!
And once again, the onlookers were shocked, each of them dumbfounded.
“Holy shit, he’s for real.”
“He actually transferred a million!”
“Someone really spent a million for the rights to a private room!”
“No, you can’t just spend money like that, give the million to me!”
“Facing up against Hucheng’s top rich second generation head-on, awesome!”
