(Two in one) “Uncle’s eyes are exactly the same as Zai-Zai’s.”
…
Lu Liran took a general look at the signing benefits.
To put it simply, from good to bad, it was divided into five grades: S, A, B, C, and D.
The D-level contract is the lowest level, the kind that young anchors, who have just entered the industry, have no choice but to hold their noses and accept their fate.
The contract stipulates that the number of live broadcast days per month for the anchor shall not be less than 25 days, and the daily time shall not be less than 3 hours. After signing the contract, the guaranteed minimum remuneration is 3,000 star coins per month, which is equivalent to the daily expenditure of nutritional supplements for a family of three, and then the rewards in the live broadcast room, which split 3/7 with the platform, and the platform taking 70%.
The B-level and C-level contracts are similar to that of D-level, that is, the number of live broadcast days and time is a bit more tolerant. Every time the minimum guaranteed reward jumps, there will be an extra thousand star coins, and the reward split is still 3/7.
Reaching the A-level is a qualitative leap. The A-level contract no longer stipulates the number of live broadcast days of the anchor. Its only requirement is that the live broadcast time in a month should not be less than 80 hours, and the guaranteed compensation after signing up rises to 10,000 star coins, and the reward is divided into 4/6.
However, once the accumulative popularity of five live broadcasts within a month is less than 100,000, the A-level contract will automatically degrade to B-level.
As for the S-level contract, there are currently only three super anchors who have signed such a contract on the entire platform, one in the make-up category, another one in the game category, and the other that specializes in the ghost animal category.
It also mentioned that there’s no specified live broadcast time, it only required to have a live broadcast with more than one million popularity once a month. Although there’s no guaranteed monthly salary, the revenue will be paid according to the popularity of the live broadcast room.
In addition, the platform will guarantee the exposure rate of the home page position every month, and the reward will be divided into half and half with the platform. The platform will also give priority to providing resources for business cooperation, which will bring extremely considerable benefits.
It was only after Lu Liran finished reading these contract levels that he realized that he could not take half of the award he received in the last live broadcast.
He read the details of the contract, and he understood it in his heart—— The three BCD-level contracts are equivalent to the wage earners of the platform, while the A-level has been upgraded to a business manager, and has business requirements, and the S-level contract is more like the platform’s partner.
As soon as Lu Liran clarified the live broadcast threshold, a new friend application reminder and Rocke Feller’s Sky Garden invitation letter popped up on his communicator.
[Agent Lucio request to add friend]
The efficiency is really high, it’s already here.
He passed the other party’s friend application, and then opened the electronic invitation letter from Rocke Feller.
The rich young master’s invitation letter was made in a flashy way, and even the words and sentences were well-mannered and rich.
Excluding meaningless embellishments, the simple summary is that at 2 o’clock this afternoon, there will be a tea party in the Sky Garden.
Lu Liran frowned. For apparently unknown reasons, what should have been a one-person conversation has turned into a time-wasting social gathering.
He originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought of the “remuneration” that the other party specifically mentioned…
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Lu Liran pursed his lips and replied “Good”.

——Anyway, it’s my own hotel garden, so it shouldn’t matter if I use a venue, the young master thought so.

It is beautifully called the banquet of the Feller family, making the guests feel valued and respected. In fact, to put it bluntly, his elder brother just wanted to put his own people in his personal gathering.
Rocke Feller thus felt even more profound powerlessness that he was being watched all the time.
At Arlok Glacier, Ke Ji said that if he didn’t pretend to be worthless, he would get in a lot of trouble, and Rocke Feller agreed.
But until this time, when he fell into the glacier chasm and narrowly escaped death, he suddenly understood, if it wasn’t for his deliberate intention to act idle that he would manage to live a stable life.
But some people always feel that as long as he is still alive, he is a threat.
After Rocke Feller figured it out, he decided to take the initiative to fight for his own survival.
The vast majority of the people he knew were related to the family, with all kinds of eyes on them, only Lu Liran and Ke Ji were the cleanest.
One is fierce but has force value, and the other is rich like him, young master Feller thought. It’s better to have a bit of a relationship with anyone on the same boat, than being alone now.
He seemed to be clutching at two last straws.
God knows what’s waiting for him next time, maybe in less than half a month, his death obituary on StarNet will be as popular as the news of his rescue this time.
Rocker Feller had a strong hunch that his half-brother probably didn’t want to wear a false mask and pretended to be siblings with him anymore.
The head of the Feller family, his father, has been notified of his critical illness five times in the past month. Once their father passes away, he may also be forced to disappear with him.
“I don’t have any ambitions, I just want to live.” Rocke Feller stared at the screen of the communicator as he whispered, and folded his hands unconsciously, waiting for Lu Liran’s reply.
[Good.]
“Ding” a message alert, Rocke Feller clicked open, and his whole person fell back down into the sofa as if he was exhausted. He raised his hands to cover his eyes, and laughed softly, tears streaming down the side of his cheeks.
…
After Lu Liran responded to Rocke Feller, he had to deal with the newly added agent.
The number of anchors that can be signed by each live studio agent is limited, and the BCD-level contract has ample quota, so the agent can’t wait to sign someone to a lower-tier contract.
As soon as Lucio came up, he planned to sign a C-level contract with Lu Liran, but was directly rejected.
The other party was not surprised and started a round of bargaining.
“If the popularity reaches the standard, the contract can be upgraded.”
“After being promoted to level B, as long as you can maintain a live broadcast with 100,000 popularity for twelve consecutive months, you can upgrade to A-level contract.” The agent said to Lu Liran in the video.
He seemed quite docile and harmless, but he was so shrewd that it was a headache, and this was the result of several rounds of wrangling between the two of them.
“In the final analysis, the reason why your live broadcast can achieve such good results this time was because of Rocke Feller’s fame and the avalanche natural disaster.” The agent said with a smile, “If you don’t have these two…”
He didn’t finish his sentence, but just showed an expression of “you and I both know”, as if it was tacit understanding.
Lu Liran’s patience was running out, and it was fortunate that Jin Fei suddenly appeared and interrupted the signing cooperation that was about to collapse.
“Young master, Mr. Feller sent the clothes for the afternoon event.” Jin Fei stood beside Lu Liran with his hands down, whispering neither humble nor overbearing.
The agent on the other end of the video was visibly shocked when he heard the name, “Mr. Feller.”
Lu Liran didn’t miss the other party’s reaction, and he remembered that when that charming and wealthy young master was trapped in the glacier, he seemed to have mentioned that he was an investor in the live broadcast platform?
He simply said: “I’ll be in touch about the contract. As you can see, I have an appointment later.”
After he finished speaking, he turned off the communication first, regardless of the change in the agent’s face.
Lu Liran turned to Jin Fei with his eyes bent, and said with a smile: “It’s really a good move to use the name of Rocke Feller to suppress that person. This trick is really good, housekeeper Jin is now self-taught.”
Jin Fei smiled, but reminded: “But it’s true that Mr. Feller sent the clothes.”
The smile on Lu Liran’s face disappeared: “…?”
Jin Fei showed Lu Liran the clothes sent by the eldest young master Feller, and said: “It’s also a particularly orthodox banquet attire. This set probably costs more than 10,000 star coins, right?”
Lu Liran’s face darkened.
The banquet attire is a set of dovetail suits with a touch of knight style. Lu Liran used to have a whole cloakroom with such clothes, but he didn’t like to wear it the most. It felt like being wrapped into a rice dumpling when wearing it, he has to be careful with his movements, as the thread is easy to come loose if the action is too large, and it is complicated and troublesome to wear.
Isn’t it just a tea party? Is it worth dressing so formally? Lu Liran waved his hand in disgust, signaling the housekeeper to take the clothes away, even if they were delivered, he wouldn’t wear them.
Jin Fei took the clothes away regretfully: “Young master must look very good in this suit.”
The child, Lu Ziqian, looked up curiously: “Really? Then Zai-Zai wants to see Papa wearing it…”
When Jin Fei heard this, he stopped immediately, he turned around and looked at Lu Liran expectantly.
Lu Liran: “…”
“When Papa wears it, does he look like the prince who beheaded the evil dragon in the story?” Zai-Zai blinked innocently.
Jin Fei just told him the cliché bedtime story about the prince beheading the dragon and saving the princess last night, and the little guy still remembered it.
Jin Fei was proud of his little young master’s genius-like memory ability at first, and then said with a smile: “That’s for sure, the young master must be more handsome than that prince.”
The child, Lu Ziqian, was even more looking forward to it when he heard it.
Lu Liran couldn’t refuse the watery eyes of his own family cub, so he had no choice but to accept his fate and take the pile of clothes in Jin Fei’s hand.
After taking out the inner linings one by one, Jin Fei realized how complicated this set of clothes was. He opened his mouth slightly, some of the inner wear he didn’t seem to know whether they are placed on the shoulders or the waist, which is not like clothing accessories at all.
——How do you wear this??
Under Jin Fei’s bewildered gaze, Lu Liran changed into a complete tuxedo suit smoothly and skillfully.
He stood in front of a full-length mirror, then lowered his eyes slightly, and fiddled with the inner wear and the lining in the mirror.
His slender and strong fingers shuttled between the high-quality fabrics, deftly blends pieces of individual lining with the garment, turning them into just-right embellishments.
Lu Liran’s movements as he dressed are beautiful, even with such complicated clothes, his movements are not obscured and stagnant at all, with an innate elegance that makes people unable to take their eyes off.
Soon, under the unblinking gaze of Jin Fei and Lu Ziqian, Lu Liran finished all the preparation.
He looked at himself in the mirror, familiar yet unfamiliar. If it weren’t for his completely disfigured face, he might still be in a trance. It was very similar to the time when he was coaxed by his parents and elder brother to attend the banquet.
“Wow——” Little Zai-Zai exaggeratedly hugged Lu Liran’s calf, then looked up at Lu Liran, “Papa looks so good, is Papa Zai-Zai’s prince?”
Lu Liran came back to his senses, and when he lowered his head, he heard Lu Ziqian’s ridiculous words, “Pff” he chuckled lightly and said: “But what if Papa can’t kill dragons?”
“It’s okay! Zai-Zai is not a princess either!” Lu Ziqian’s brain circuit was amazing, and he mellowly followed Lu Liran’s rhetorical question.
Since everyone did not like conforming with the norms of society, and has a standard routine, then let’s just imitate each other together.
“Papa is the prince!” Zai-Zai made the final decision crisply.
Lu Liran amusingly ruffled the little guy’s fine golden brown curly hair.
Jin Fei looked at Lu Liran in surprise, why did it look like the young master did not wear such complicated clothes for the first time?
But that’s great, as expected, his young master looks good in it!
“Young master, just go to the afternoon invitation like this!” The housekeeper was very active, feeling like an old father who wanted to take his handsome boy out to show off.
Lu Liran pulled the corner of his mouth, but he didn’t want it.
“Papa, can you take Zai-Zai with you in the afternoon?” Lu Ziqian gently tugged Lu Liran’s finger, asking expectantly and curiously.
Lu Liran has no bottom line for his own son—— this was probably passed down in the Lu family.
Therefore, he nodded: “Yes.”
The corner of Jin Fei’s mouth twitched, it’s not appropriate to suddenly bring a little boy to someone else’s party right?
WAIT OMG OMG THE TITLE 😭😭 pls I thought this would be a chap where hints were dropped to the ML
Little cutie will make the party even better.
Lu Liran must be looking exquisite in this dovetail suit! ∩( ✧Д✧)∩
So excited to see everyone witnessing this hotness (can’t help but feel jealous too, suits are a weakness of mine.) Ke Ji, ready yourself keke.
AAA can’t wait for the next chapter!! (｡>﹏<｡)
Thank you sm Sunnyshies!! ly, you’re the greatest. <3
. . .
Me silently screaming falling off the cliff 😶
It’s okay.. I’m fine🤕
Thanks for the chapter! 😆
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
That part at the end hints that Jin Fei hasn’t been with Lu Liran since he was young, so maybe doesn’t actually know who Lu Liran really is. If so, boy is he going to be in for a shock once Lu Liran finally gets back in contact with his family.
Little bun has the whole papa in his hands! Lmao… Ty for the update 🤣❤️
Why not? Since someone else already invited himself and a bunch of other unrelated people too Dx
Wish that Rocke Feller guy good luck in surviving!
Btw: The pictures of the dovetail suits look so damn nice >__<
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
I feel like he should wear the suit, simply because it sounds like that banquet is gonna suck.
