Chapter 22 - Chapter 22: Prey or Hunter?

There is an industry with very low barriers to entry, and anyone can engage in it. In this industry, any miracle is possible. Even if one has no diploma, no ability, no resources, no connections, and even no good looks, it's not a problem. As long as one is lucky enough, they can still shine brightly and become rich overnight.

This industry doesn't even require you to go out. You can complete your work at home. It is—the online live-streamer.

With the development of society, the total number of live-streamers on various platforms has become a very large group. And Harley Quinn is one of them, and she is also a seasoned veteran live-streamer.

The word "veteran" here has a double meaning. Firstly, she has been a live-streamer for seven or eight years, and in this industry, she can be considered a senior. Secondly, she is 50 years old this year, and among the group of live-streamers, she is definitely an "elderly person."

Don't look at her advanced age, but with the powerful beauty filter function, an old woman can instantly turn into a young girl.

At twelve o'clock at night, on a certain live-streaming platform.

Harley made a heart gesture with her hands and thanked a certain guy in his twenties. She called him "handsome boy" one after another, and her voice was sickly sweet.

At this moment, Harley was wearing a maid outfit and had thick foundation on her face, looking a bit ridiculous. However, with the blessing of the beauty filter, in the live-streaming screen, she was a young and beautiful girl. No wonder many bullet comments in the live broadcast room were praising her for her good looks.

She really liked being praised by others, even if it was false. It gave her the illusion that she was still young, and she gradually lost herself in it.

Just then, a "plane" swooshed across the live broadcast room, and its dazzling special effects instantly filled the entire screen. At the same time, a noble ID with a crown on its head made a grand entrance.

Seeing this scene, Harley was a bit surprised because she had never seen this ID before. Moreover, the name of the ID was also very nice, and she liked it very much.

After several years of live streaming, she has come to a conclusion: those who call themselves "CEO of XXX Company," "Manager of XXX," etc., are basically fake rich people. Those whose profile pictures are luxury cars, villas, famous brand watches, etc., are mostly poor people. And those with literary profile pictures and simple names are very likely to be real rich people.

For example, the person in front of her now, whose online name is "Rural Farmer," and the profile picture is a rural landscape photo. Of course, with the dazzling noble profile picture frame and the generous greeting gift. All of this is indicating one thing—this is a fat sheep. Harley said she really liked it.

"Wow! Welcome, big brother, to my live broadcast room! Thank you, big brother, for the 'plane'! This... this... this really makes me so touched!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

"Whoosh~"

Another "plane" flew by.

Suddenly, Harley's eyes lit up, as if she had seen a golden treasure. She secretly decided, "I must seize the opportunity and make a killing."

On the surface, she pretended to be so touched that she was speechless and even forced out a few tears, constantly expressing her gratitude.

"Thank you, big brother! Thank you, big brother!"

"It doesn't matter. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

Goodness! With such a tone! Two "planes" are worth nearly a thousand pounds, yet he actually calls it a "small token of appreciation." This is definitely a rich person!

"For big brother, this little gift is naturally nothing, but for me, it's my living expenses for a month!"

"Whoosh~"

As soon as she finished speaking, another "plane" flew by. It was so imposing that one couldn't help but wonder: Is this the legendary... overbearing CEO?

And Harley secretly decided, "I've set my sights on this sheep."

Half an hour later, seeing that the fat sheep had left, Harley found an excuse to end the live broadcast early. How could she have the time to care about those poor people in the live broadcast room? The value of those fans had almost been squeezed dry. Now that a fat sheep had appeared, how could she let it go?

As soon as she ended the live broadcast, she sent a private message to the other party and also sent her social media account.

Sure enough, after a while, a friend request came in.

She didn't hesitate to click "agree" and quickly checked the other party's information.

The other party's name was George Brown, and the profile picture was of a man who was about forty years old.

As soon as she saw the profile picture, Harley burst out laughing: "Hahaha~"

In the photo, the man had a long face and a thick neck, a simple and honest expression, his eyes were full of wisdom, and he had a bit of buck teeth. He was really ugly.

As for the rest, it was all about trivial things in life, such as climbing mountains, fishing, outdoor camping, playing with antiques, and so on.

After a rough look, she initially judged that the other party was really rich and was probably the kind of rich person who wasn't very smart.

"Brother George, thank you so much today! For our first meeting, you've spent so much money, and I'm really a bit embarrassed."

Soon, a reply came from the other side: "It doesn't matter."

"What an ugly guy, and he can't even chat properly. No wonder he needs to seek comfort online. I bet no woman likes him in real life. What's the use of just having money?" Harley secretly disdained.

Soon, she said again, "Brother George, will you come to see me again tomorrow?"

"Yes, I will."

"That's great! I was really afraid that you, Brother George, were just doing it on a whim and wouldn't come tomorrow. Heehee, I'm so happy!"

"Don't worry. I'll come tomorrow and give you more gifts."

"Hmph! Do you think I'm just a snob who only wants gifts? Well, Brother George, you can go and rest. I won't bother you anymore."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Seeing the other party's immediate explanation, the corners of Harley's mouth curled up. She didn't reply anymore and went to bed to play with her phone.

She knew men too well. Playing hard to get was just a basic skill, and she was very proficient at it.

At this moment, she was very confident that as long as she was given a little more time, it wouldn't be difficult for her to win over this George Brown.

Soon, she began to think about how to win him over.

On the other side, Victor Black put down his phone and sneered secretly, "The fish has taken the bait? Yes, the fish has indeed taken the bait."

Sure enough, the top hunters often appear in the guise of prey.

Scotland Yard Serious Crime Squad

"This is the office hall."

"This is the interrogation room."

"There are two elevators in the building. There is one here, and there is another one over there."

"This is where you'll work. Usually, in addition to completing the tasks I assign you, during meetings, you also need to print materials, distribute them, and take meeting minutes. Oh, and also..."

"Hey, wait a minute. Speak slowly. I can't remember all of this."

Lily White pouted and looked at Sebastian Gray, who was chattering away with a look of grievance on her face.

Upon hearing this, Sebastian stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Lily with an expression as if he was looking at an idiot: "Do you really need to write this down?"

"Of course I do!"

Lily replied matter-of-factly, and the notebook she was holding in her hands was already filled with writing.

Well, a naturally intelligent person really couldn't understand the world of an idiot. In Sebastian's opinion, these things were easy to understand and could be remembered instantly. But for Lily, except for remembering the first-floor hall and the water dispenser in the hall, she had forgotten everything else. Even, she probably wouldn't be able to find her way downstairs.

Looking at Lily's chubby and stupid face, Sebastian was at a loss for words. He suddenly realized that choosing this person as his assistant seemed to be a mistake.

However, since things had come to this, it wasn't easy to go back on his word, so he had to accept it.

"Sigh! Forget it. In this case, you come with me to the office first and learn how to make coffee."

"Yeah, I can do that!"

Lily nodded like a chick pecking at rice, full of confidence.
