SnapTok’s strategy was much more effective than investing in advertisement and it had created more than tens of millions in value. Even Hannah texted Kaze, asking how he made the app so popular. Kaze smiled and chose not to reply to the text. After experiencing several incidents online back at Lilyrose, he already knew how the Internet works. “He’s crazy!” “He must have lost his mind! All that money for a live streamer?” “Maybe this is what the life of a rich person is. I can’t understand.” “This is the exact definition of wealthy.” “Now it seems two million is not enough.” “My salary is 3k but I feel 2m is not enough.” “Live-in Jerk, please feed me!” …The whole platform was shaken. The other live streams were also flooded with comments. As for Cyan’s live stream, due to the surge of viewers, it started to feel laggy, which forced SnapTok to send more technicians to solve the technical difficulties. Kaze also received countless direct messages on his accou
“@WildWildWes, why did you stop sending gifts? I thought you were rich! “I thought you looked down on keyboard warriors! “Show us what you got! Humiliate me with money! “If you can’t keep up, just call me Daddy, or else I will tell everyone here on SnapTok about your embarrassing history!” Kaze did not hold back and mocked Wesley through the chat. The others cheered on him and even copied his texts to spread them around. Wesley clenched his fists and teeth. If he could just track down Live-in Jerk, he would punch the bastard in the face and knock his teeth out. Kaze spared no mercy with his words. Wesley would either have to keep sending gifts or call Kaze Daddy, or else this would not end well. Kaze even said that he would mention this on the platform whenever he saw Wesley. In fact, even without Kaze’s provocation, Wesley dared not stay on the platform anymore. The reputation of his account was ruined. “Huh? WildWildWes just deleted his account!” One of the co
With that in mind, Lock’s brows furrowed tighter, his eyes filled with concerns. “It’s the digital era now and you are asking Cyan to earn money with her own hands?” Ryna scoffed at her husband’s remark. She then glanced at Kaze who was on his phone on the couch. She said scornfully, “You mean like your student right? Cyan can earn more than what he could make for his entire life in just fifteen minutes. “Kaze, now you know the difference between you and Cyan. Marriage should be equal and sometimes, background and status determine people’s fate. You should know that by now, right?” Ryna looked at Kaze arrogantly. Her daughter earned a few million in just fifteen minutes. There was no way Kaze could match her daughter, in terms of capabilities and status. Then, she curled her arms around Cyan’s arm and said, “Cyan, go message the guy who sent you the gifts. You should ask him out and meet up since he spent that much money on you. “If he’s a local, you guys can meet up mo
“Ryna, what do you mean?” Lock’s expression turned ashen when he heard his wife’s harsh words. “Kaze is not worthy of Cyan? Is Cyan a princess or a queen? She made some money from the live stream and you think the world is not worthy of her anymore? “I watched Kaze grow up. I taught him to be grateful and responsible. He gave us tens of millions of herbs as a token of appreciation and even after you wasted all of them, he did not say anything. Isn’t he better than Wesley or any other flamboyant playboys out there? “You and Cyan always judge a book by its cover!” Lock got more agitated as he lectured the two of them. “I know Kaze is in a slum right now but if he gets the chance, he will rise faster than anyone! I already planned to recruit Kaze into the company for a managerial position! I believe he can realize his potential in the right environment! “But it’s up to Kaze. I’m afraid that my company is too small for him. He used to be the chairman of Perfect World Group af
“Stop talking nonsense! You think Kaze is interested in what little we have?” Lock’s expression turned grim. He said strongly, “I have decided. I am managing the company now, don’t I have the right to make decisions?” “You have no right to ruin the company!” Ryna pointed at Lock and shouted, “I know what you are trying to do. You just want to go against me.” As the argument heated up, Kaze sighed and stood up. “Mr. Yemen, Mrs. Yemen, calm down. I’m not joining your company…” “Stop trying to pretend to be a saint here!” Ryna pointed at Kaze, shouting. “Lock must have convinced you. Are you his illegitimate son?!” Kaze was stunned. How did he become his teacher’s illegitimate son all of a sudden? Ryna got so carried away by her emotions that she started spewing nonsense. Cyan was aware of the severity of the situation and if she continued to stay away, her parents might really get a divorce. She stepped in and said, “Dad, Mom, stop it. You guys just want Kaze to get
If Cyan did not intervene, her parents would continue to argue to the point of divorce, so she was forced to shoulder the burden. Lock did not say anything. Golden Scale Corporation was one of the biggest companies in Riverbank. If his own company was a little convenience store, then Golden Scale Corporation would be a hypermarket with chain stores. If Kaze could get a job there, it would be much more promising than working in Lock’s tiny company and it would also guarantee his future. “Hmph. He got lucky.” Ryna grunted and then looked at Kaze condescendingly. “You better thank Cyan. If not for her, you won’t even get close to Golden Scale Corporation for the rest of your life.” Although Kaze inevitably got Cyan’s help, it was better than him joining Lock’s company. In addition, Ryna finally made peace with her thoughts. Golden Scale Corporation had countless experts and elites that outshone even Wesley. Once Cyan got into the company and had the opportunity to meet
Lock’s lips moved but he said nothing except for a helpless sigh. He knew what his daughter was up to but since she made it clear, he did not want to give her a hard time. He could not ask her to lower her standards because it would mean that he looked down on Kaze too. Speaking against Cyan’s terms would mean that he believed Kaze could not make ten million per year in two years. “Okay. I’ll go have a look later,” Kaze said. He did not want to waste time with the mother and daughter. He also could not tell Cyan that the reason why she got the offer from Golden Scale Corporation was because of himself. Revealing the truth would only attract more hatred and they would criticize him even more. Meaningless. If he rejected Cyan’s suggestion, the whole family would argue again. Since Kaze planned to visit the company soon, he might as well play along. Golden Scale Corporation belonged to the West State Viper’s Den but after Magnus died, other branches started to infiltrate
“Is it urgent? Want me to give you a ride?” Lock said as he put down the teapot. “It’s okay, Mr. Yemen. They are sending a car to pick me up,” Kaze said before he walked out of the door. “Hmph! He’s just calling a ride but he has to act like someone is here to pick him up, like he’s some big shot.” Ryna grumbled after Kaze left. She felt uncomfortable with Kaze in the house. Now that Kaze had left, the air felt fresher. …Kaze went downstairs and waited for Hamlin at the entrance of the neighborhood. In less than a cigarette’s time, a black Audi with the car plate ‘Riverbank 00001’ arrived before him. “Mr. Lee.” Hamlin came down and opened the door for him. Kaze glanced at Hamlin’s messy hair and the claw marks on his face. He nodded and got into the car. “What happened to you?” After the car drove off, Kaze asked curiously. As the mayor’s driver, Hamlin always had to make sure his image was presentable, decent at least. Yet he looked like he just fought a
