Chapter 79

PS. Here's today's update, and I'm also taking the opportunity to promote the 515 Fan Festival on Qidian. Everyone has 8 votes, and voting also gives Qidian coins. I humbly request everyone's support and appreciation!

Doudou received her salary today, and this month's pay was more than the total of all her previous salaries combined.

Of course, the short duration of her live streams played a role, but the unprecedented large tip from Ye Qing, which brought her a huge surge in popularity and subsequent tips from other viewers, was the key factor.

Doudou didn't intend to keep the money, so after receiving her salary, she went to an Hermes store and bought a men's business bag she had selected online.

She planned to use the remaining money to buy an expensive gift for him next time.

"Would you like to have dinner with me?" Ye Qing had nothing planned for the evening, and he knew she was inviting him to thank him for his support.

"Um..." Doudou's voice became softer. She felt a bit abrupt, thinking that someone like Ye Qing probably had people inviting him to breakfast every day.

"Where would you like to meet?" With no plans for the evening, Ye Qing naturally wouldn't refuse an invitation to dinner.

"How about Mingyue Building on Liushanhu Road? The fish there is very good."

"Sure!" Ye Qing checked the time: "I'll be there in about half an hour."

After setting the time, Ye Qing let Master Ingenious rest in the Monster Factory for a while.

He then headed straight to a gas station near the park, where the original minivan usually refueled, as the fuel quality was excellent.

The Development Zone Avenue was very wide, with six lanes in both directions. However, Ye Qing just lowered the window and leisurely drove, not even chasing the few Audis and Toyotas that passed him.

A distinctive roar of an engine came from behind, and a black Porsche Cayenne caught up.

The driver seemed to be a connoisseur, driving at the same speed and circling in front of the Lagonda, occasionally flooring the gas.

The meaning was clear: let's have a race.

Ye Qing ignored the Cayenne and continued driving.

He drove the Lagonda to the gas station, remembering the manager's instructions to drive to the 98 octane pump. He pressed the fuel cap switch and said to a young woman who looked unfamiliar, "Sir, please fill it up."

The young woman, holding the fuel nozzle, didn't move, looking at Ye Qing strangely, "This Ford Mondeo can only take 95 octane, are you sure you want 98 octane?"

Ye Qing's proud expression almost turned into a grimace at the young woman, who seemed to be new on the job.

"Sir, this is an Aston Martin..."

"Oh!" The young woman's face turned red instantly, apologizing to Ye Qing, saying she couldn't recognize the car logos and that's why she thought the Mondeo looked so high-end, with an engine sound like a Ferrari.

"No problem, no problem. The front of the Mondeo does look a bit like this." Ye Qing happily counted out a few bills and handed them to her.

When Ye Qing arrived at Mingyue Building, he deliberately chose a parking spot at the far end of the lot.

The carbon fiber exterior, if scratched, would need to be replaced entirely, and there was no way to do bodywork or paint it.

Mingyue Building was located by Liushanhu Lake, famous for its scenery and the three delicacies of the Yangtze River. Ye Qing had never been there before.

As Ye Qing entered the hall of Mingyue Building, he saw that all the seats by the lake on the first floor were occupied by young people, mostly in male-female pairs.

Just as he was about to call Doudou, he noticed a girl in the hallway who looked like her. She was arguing with a man at a table, and Ye Qing walked over curiously.

"How can you do this? This seat was mine first. I just went to the restroom, and you took my seat." Doudou was wearing a sky-blue knee-length dress and a leather backpack, and many boys were secretly glancing at her.

As Ye Qing walked over, Doudou waved at him with a surprised look.

"What's going on?" Ye Qing glanced at the young man and woman sitting at the table. They didn't look very old, but the man had a somewhat unfriendly face.

"He took my seat!" Doudou pouted, looking a bit aggrieved, "This place is very popular, and the first floor restaurant doesn't accept reservations. I took a seat to wait for you, went to the restroom, and asked the waiter to watch it for me. When I came back, the seat was gone, and the waiter had disappeared."

"Seeing my little Fei, the waiter turned into a turtle and hid." The man laughed, "Don't bother, just find another place to eat."

Ye Qing looked around and noticed that the nearby waiters were avoiding eye contact, clearly afraid to look in their direction.

Ye Qing ignored the man and said to Doudou, "Forget it, let's find another place. When I came, I saw a lakeside outdoor seafood grill. That might be good too."

"Okay!" Doudou didn't object, but she was a bit upset by the rude man.

Liushanhu Lake had a good location, not far from Caiyi Street, with many ancient and charming buildings by the lake, making it one of the attractions in Zhongyun. The taste of the food at the outdoor grill in such a prime location was sure to be excellent.

They found a clean spot and sat down. Ye Qing jokingly asked Doudou why she didn't do a food live stream tonight.

Doudou was a bit nervous and uncomfortable, as Ye Qing's presence was overwhelming to her.

"I usually do three live streams a week, but now that it's summer break, I can do more. I didn't dare to do a live stream tonight because I was inviting you to dinner. Otherwise, the audience's comments would have drowned me." Doudou stuck out her tongue and pulled a brown package from her backpack, handing it to Ye Qing.

"Big Brother Ye, thank you for the tip. Now, when I go live, the audience can exceed a million at its peak."

The package had a small figure pulling a cart, and the lighting was dim, so Ye Qing couldn't see the English below. Inside the package was a simple black handbag, square and suitable for business use.

The two vertical belt buckles on the strap made Ye Qing recognize it as an Hermes.

The last time he received a gift from a girl was when a female classmate gave him a postcard at the end of elementary school.

"It's a beautiful gift, but it's too expensive." Ye Qing closed the package and happily accepted the gift.

The tip was purely to thank Doudou, and he shouldn't have accepted the gift.

But Doudou had already bought it, and refusing it would be a waste, especially since Hermes doesn't accept returns, only exchanges within a very short period.

Just as Ye Qing was about to explain the situation to her, Doudou, seeing him accept the gift, said shyly, "Big Brother Ye, you don't have to do this. It's an honor to be friends with you..."

Doudou didn't say the rest, but Ye Qing could guess from her expression. When he tipped her, the audience had been shouting that Ye Qing was too good at attracting girls, making even the men envious. Ye Qing had seen it all clearly.

Clearly, Doudou had misunderstood him.

Sweat... Better not say anything. If he did, Doudou would be embarrassed.

Ye Qing remembered his young cousin mentioning that Doudou was studying at Zhongyun Radio and Television University, so he asked her about her year and major.

"Fourth year, majoring in Journalism and Communication." Talking about her major, Doudou seemed very happy, "I was very lucky. Last month, when Zhongyun TV came to our school to recruit fourth-year students, someone specifically invited me to be an intern, saying they had seen my food show online and thought I had a talent for hosting."

"By the fourth year, we've pretty much finished our major courses, and the focus is on gaining experience through internships. Next week, I'll officially start my internship at Zhongyun TV, first as a news anchor for 'News in Your Ear.'"

[The 515 Fan Festival is coming up. I hope to continue to make it to the 515 Red Packet List, and on May 15th, the red packet rain will reward readers and promote the work. Even a small contribution is love, and I will definitely update well!]
