"I've been busy all day, and I'm actually a bit hungry!" Lying on the couch, almost falling asleep, Fang Jueyu suddenly heard his own stomach growling. Only then did he remember that an entire day had passed without him eating anything.
There was a smart phone on the living room tea table, which seemed quite high-end. After some effort, Fang Jueyu finally managed to find the number for his head chef, who was responsible for his daily meals, and gave him a call.
"Mr. Fang, hello, how may I serve you?"
"Uh... I'm a bit hungry, could you please make me something to eat?" he asked, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"No trouble at all, serving Mr. Fang is our job!" the head chef chuckled on the other end of the line. You should know, these chefs were taking home a salary of one hundred thousand a month, yet their work was incredibly easy.
Each chef had their own specialties, so they were idle most of the time. With such high salaries for such low-intensity work, providing dedicated service to Fang Jueyu was naturally their sole goal.
"Mr. Fang, what would you like to eat? Anything you desire, we can make it for you!"
"That confident, huh? What if I said I wanted to eat whale meat?" Fang Jueyu said casually, not really trying to stump the head chef.
"Then, Mr. Fang, how would you like it prepared?"
"Wait, you can actually get that?" Fang Jueyu thought. Even if they were wealthy enough to buy whale meat, it surely couldn't be prepared on short notice?
"Mr. Fang, your ten private jets go around the world every week to purchase goods, ensuring that your meals use the freshest, highest-grade ingredients. Just yesterday, we put a new piece of whale meat in the cold storage. If you wish to eat it, I can immediately arrange for someone to prepare it!"
"Give me a break!" Fang Jueyu rolled his eyes. With money, you really could do whatever you wanted. Ten private planes used as grocery delivery jets, could there be anything more extravagant?
"Hehehe, I was just kidding. I'll just have a bowl of noodles, eating too much at night isn't good, and noodles are easy to digest!" Fang Jueyu said with an awkward laugh, not daring to question what else they might offer.
Who knows, if he asked for dinosaur meat, they might tell him they have a cloning factory that has already cloned dinosaurs and then ask him how he'd like it cooked.
"Don't go overboard, just throw in some seafood and greens!"
"Understood, Mr. Fang. We will have someone deliver it to you within twenty minutes!"
Fang Jueyu quickly hung up the phone. Was life with money always this terrifying?
Sweaty from a busy day, Fang Jueyu walked into the bathroom to take a shower. The bathtub, comparable in size to a swimming pool, almost made him reluctant to take off his pants. For some reason, bathing in such a large room made him feel uneasy.
"Could there be cameras installed somewhere?" he thought somewhat shamelessly.
"Host, rest assured, there is no surveillance equipment here. You can bathe with peace of mind!" Xiao Yi's voice came inappropriately in his ear. It was in sync with Fang Jueyu and could feel whatever crazy things he was thinking.
"If you don't speak, no one will take you for a mute!" Fang Jueyu muttered.
This was the most comfortable bath he had ever taken, and somehow, after bathing, he felt refreshed and alert, with his drowsiness significantly reduced.
"Host, the water contains a large amount of active minerals, which are somewhat similar to the components of hot springs and are greatly beneficial to the human body!"
"Isn't that a bit too much?" Fang Jueyu even felt it was rather wasteful. Being extravagant was one thing, but such unnecessary expenses were not just wasteful of money but also of societal resources.
"I have to ask Sister Ying to get rid of these pointless things tomorrow!" Fang Jueyu thought to himself.
Just after his bath, the noodles he requested were delivered by a young guy, who was the son of the head chef. Though young, he was hardworking and capable.
"Mr. Fang, your noodles," he handed over a container, "It has an automatic warming feature, please enjoy!"
"Thank you for your hard work, you should hurry back now, it's late!"
Fang Jueyu offered his thanks, taking the takeaway container back to his room.
"This... is this what you call 'just throwing in a bit of seafood'?" Fang Jueyu was immediately overwhelmed when opening the delivery box. Noodles were noodles, greens were greens, he liked seafood noodles at home too, but usually, it would include things like shrimp and scallops.
But in this basin-sized noodle bowl was an Emperor Crab and an Australian Lobster, plus a few abalones. Was this for real?
"Could the rice used in this dish have been watered with '82 Lafite?" Fang Jueyu whimsically thought.
"Don't care, eat first!" He felt that after his physical condition improved, his appetite had also greatly increased; he might actually be able to finish this big bowl of noodles.
Not only that, as expected from a top chef's creation, it was a very ordinary method, but the rich aroma wafting from the soup made it irresistible. He picked up his chopsticks and began wolfing down the noodles, finishing every drop of the soup.
"Burp~" Fang Jueyu let out a loud, satisfied belch, then picked up the Australian Lobster's claw and used it to pick his teeth. "If I keep this up, I'll quickly descend into decadence!"
"Hm? It's ten o'clock!" Fang Jueyu looked at the time—the daily routine of watching Xinyu's live stream at ten o'clock was already a habit he'd developed, and many times he fell asleep listening to her songs.
A top-of-the-line computer was already set up in his master bedroom. He had no idea what kind of graphics card or central unit it used, but the speed at which it booted up was unprecedented, and if you were to use its smooth performance for gaming, it would surely be unbeatable!
Sure enough, Xinyu had started her broadcast on time. Perhaps because of Fang Jueyu's influence, her followers had skyrocketed from 50,000 to 1.27 million, and her pure singing voice attracted many loyal fans.
"A warm welcome to level 10 VIP user 'Deep Wood Sees Deer' joins anchor Xinyu's live stream!"
Fang Jueyu's appearance instantly whipped the usually calm comment section into a frenzy.
"Here he comes! The boss Deer is here again! Rich guy, do you need a lackey? The kind that can speak human!"
"Hahaha, I knew boss Deer would definitely come to Miss Xinyu's live stream today, sat all night and really caught him!"
"Boss Deer's army is here to propose marriage (copy this for fifty cents)."
"What's with the above? Fifty cents for boss Deer's worth? It should at least be five bucks!"
"Boss Deer, are you doing a room check tonight? We'll follow you!"
"Are you here?" This mysterious tycoon not only threw down a cool million in gifts in her live stream but also brought in a huge amount of popularity, which was enough to raise her income to the next level.
"Ha ha ha, are you waiting for me?" Fang Jueyu wrote using the VIP font.
"66666, Boss Deer starts to flirt!"
"Boss Deer, I'm your type, I'm 168, double E, I have everything you like!"
"Sexy Boss Deer, flirting online!"
"555555 ~ My Xinyu will soon fall under the onslaught of Boss Deer, I need to be Jingjing!"
"Hello, I am Jingjing, what do you want with me?"
...
"Of course, you are a major gold sponsor, do you want to listen to any particular song?" Guo Xinyu joked directly ignoring the playful comments.
"Just sing whatever you like, as usual, I'll just listen quietly!"
Fang Jueyu lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to relax to the sound of her music.
Suddenly, he had a somewhat embarrassing thought: what kind of person was this Xinyu, really?
He was already a room admin for Xinyu's stream and boldly sent her a direct message: Xinyu, can I have your contact information?
After sending the message, Fang Jueyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It was his first time doing something like this, and it was more nerve-wracking than confessing his feelings.
"She won't think that I am trying to take advantage of her with my money, will she?" Fang Jueyu fretted inwardly.
Moments later, a reply from Xinyu arrived: Ok, my WeChat ID is xxxxxxxx, but don't get any funny ideas!
"Nice!" Fang Jueyu snapped his fingers in excitement and immediately took out his phone to send a friend request.
Whether it was the magic of Xinyu's singing or he was just that tired, it wasn't long before Fang Jueyu fell into a deep sleep...
