Chapter 56: I Have Money, So Why Should She Hold Back?
Were they all watching the same livestream?
The waiters were all curious as to what kind of livestream could be so awesome.
When the waiters served the dishes, Jiang Xun set up an elevated phone stand that she’d specifically bought so that she could capture the entire table of dishes as well as herself.
Without another word, she started eating.
Her motions were quick and beautiful so that even though she was eating big mouthfuls of food, she didn’t look like she was wolfing it down like a barbarian. She would only swallow after she finished chewing.
“Look at Jiang Xun eating so much.”
“Wow, she’s almost done with a bowl of rice.”
“She’s clearly eating quickly and in big mouthfuls, but why do I have the feeling that she cherishes food very much? Am I seeing things?”
“You’re not alone, I think so too.”
“I’ve followed some gluttonous people before, and there were also some people who have done livestreams. But they all ate very slowly, and it was extremely uncomfortable to watch them eat, unlike in their edited videos. But Jiang Xun... She’s going way too fast!”
“And she’s not slowing down at all.”
“My face hurts just watching her eat.”
“What’s she rushing so much for? It’s not like we know how much she can eat.”
“Anyway, there’s such a big table. No one can eat that much.”
The rice bowls in the restaurant were small. Jiang Xun had already polished off three bowls, but it was still not enough, so she asked the waiter for three more bowls of rice.
The netizens who came to watch the scene couldn’t just sit there since they had already made reservations. Therefore, they ordered some dishes and watched Jiang Xun while eating their own food.
Then, they realized that Jiang Xun’s eating speed was actually about the same as their normal eating speed!
“She’s already eaten six bowls of rice, yet she’s still closing her eyes and enjoying it! What kind of stomach does she have? !”
Jiang Xun’s table was already full of food that had been swept clean. There wasn’t even any soup left.
“We must cherish the food and not leave any leftovers. Eat more while there’s still food to eat. Otherwise, when there’s nothing left, you won’t be able to cry even if you regret it.” Jiang Xun looked at the camera. Her sincere and serious gaze seemed to pierce through the screen and hit everyone watching the livestream.
“Oh my God, I have leftovers from every meal. I suddenly feel so guilty.”
“I’m on a diet to lose weight. There are so many delicacies, but I didn’t cherish them. I feel like I’m too heartless.”
“I just want to ask, why are you still so thin even though you can eat so much?”
“Yeah, if you weren’t so thin, there wouldn’t be so many people who would think that you’re faking it.”
“Not that I want to stir something up, but most of the beautiful people who livestream their meals are either completely different in person, or they fake their meals and vomit everything up later on.”
“Eat until you’re full, exercise more, and your body will be healthier,” Jiang Xun said seriously, “If you’re ever in danger, you will have enough strength and stamina to protect yourself. If you eat less, you’ll have less strength, and if you don’t exercise, your body will be weak. When the apocalypse comes, the first batch of people to die will be these people.”
The netizens in the livestream room could only blink at her words.
“Why are you talking about the Apocalypse? Don’t scare me.”
Jiang Xun wiped her mouth and called for the waiter to pay the bill. She said to the camera, “Whether it’s the apocalypse or other dangers, strength and stamina are some of the things you need to protect yourself.”
“Jiang Xun is right. Even if it’s not the apocalypse, there are many other kinds of dangers, like earthquakes, avalanches, and other natural disasters, as well as fires, kidnappings, and other man-made injuries. We can only rely on ourselves to hold on before we can be rescued, or we won’t even have the chance to wait for rescue.”
“Let’s not talk about it. I’m not going on a diet today. I’ll just rely on exercise to lose weight.”
“I’ve already ordered a treadmill to work out at home.”
“I’ll go to the gym after work tonight to ask about a membership.”
“I originally thought that Jiang Xun was a streamer who didn’t have any standards when it came to sensationalism. I didn’t expect her to be an ambassador of positive energy.”

“Boss, we agreed that we wouldn’t block the screen even if we gave her a gift.”
Mufeng paused.
He’d completely forgotten about that.
Mufeng put down his phone and pinched the space between his eyebrows. Then, he said to Chengnan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, “Tell Shanpin to hurry up and send Jiang Xun the gift.”
Every time he sent a reward, the screen would be blocked by the gift animations so that no one could see it. It was too outrageous.
Chengnan looked at Mufeng through the rearview mirror with a complicated expression, unable to control himself. “President, you feel guilty towards Jiang Xun. You think that she was kicked out of the house and had her tuition and living expenses cut off because of you. If you give her money directly, Jiang Xun wouldn’t take it, so you’re giving her money this way.”
“However, you gave her a gift of 300,000 yuan last time. After deducting the tax from the platform’s share, the money that Jiang Xun received should be enough to cover her tuition and living expenses for two to three years as long as she doesn’t spend too much.”
In other words, there was no need to continue tipping Jiang Xun.
“...” Mufeng paused for a moment before saying in a deep voice, “I have money, so why should she have to hold herself back from spending?”
These words sounded as if Jiang Xun had some relationship with Mufeng.
Chengnan had nothing else to say to that.
At this moment, the live chat was very lively.
“Yo, boss! You’re the man!”
“Host, you have to thank the boss! He’s like your number 1 fan, you have to protect him! Your future popularity might depend on him!”
Jiang Xun blinked and looked at her three roommates.
Jiajia whispered, “Usually, if other streamers get such a generous tip from someone, they’ll normally thank them.”
Jiang Xun nodded to show that she understood. She looked at the camera and said solemnly, “Thank you, Boss!”
“PFFT!”
“Streamers are really straightforward.”
“She’s different from other streamers. I followed her.”
“Now then. Apologize for spreading rumors about me. As usual, do it on Weibo and Shanpin.” Jiang Xun’s gaze was deep, as if she could see through the lens of every audience member. “Don’t even think about running away.”
It was then that a chill ran down the spines of the veteran harassers. They skillfully opened their private messages on Weibo and Shanpin. Sure enough, they saw that Jiang Xun had sent them a private message. It was a familiar formula, and it was their username name.
Even if they changed their names, they could recognize it from the username she had sent.

Jiang Xun could say that this time, those haters were finally more self-aware. In the future, she hoped that they would continue to maintain their terrible online etiquette and provide her with MP.
“Today’s livestream is over,” Jiang Xun said as she raised her hand to turn off the livestream.
“Wait!” The netizens in the live chat hated that they could not turn on their microphones.
“When will you stream next time?”
“Can’t you stream every day like other streamers?”
Someone even asked in a strange tone, “What new tricks will you do next time?”
“Don’t tell me you want to keep doing eating videos?”
“I’ve seen too many people who do that. It’s no fun anymore.”
