After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 112: The Star Live Streaming Boss

"What does Starlight Live have to do with you?"

Upon hearing Shi Yaoguang mention Starlight Live again, Shi Yiqing couldn’t help but ask.

Shi Yaoguang had no intention of hiding, and said outright, "I am the owner of Starlight Live."

The crowd was astonished.

Although most people present didn’t care who owned the live streaming companies, there were some who had paid attention.

An Siqi was a typical example.

She knew that the previous live streaming company had closed down, but she hadn’t expected that after its closure, it had become Starlight Live.

And she had never considered that the owner of Starlight Live would turn out to be Shi Yaoguang.

The thought alone gave her an unsettling feeling.

If Shi Yaoguang was the owner of Starlight Live, then...

Why had Starlight Live previously bombarded the internet with negative press about Shi Yaoguang?

Before knowing that Shi Yaoguang owned Starlight Live, An Siqi had been pleased with this development, taking delight in Shi Yaoguang’s misfortune.

Her "scandalous material" was released, and even a fledgling live streaming company reacted to the news, trampling her mercilessly.

But now...

Having heard from Shi Yaoguang herself that she was the owner of Starlight Live, An Siqi found no amusement in it.

She herself had been live streaming and had become somewhat of an online celebrity.

An online celebrity is almost halfway into the entertainment industry.

And she couldn’t be more familiar with marketing tactics.

So...

Upon further thought, her mood grew heavy.

Although she was unsure of Shi Yaoguang’s exact purpose, she understood one thing clearly.

Shi Yaoguang had done it all on purpose!

It was very likely that the negative press released by Starlight Live was a trap set by Shi Yaoguang.

Isn’t there a saying about "dipping to surge forward"?

Perhaps, this was Shi Yaoguang’s intention.

The only uncertain thing was why Shi Yaoguang had done this.

"Dipping to surge forward," the "dipping" had been accomplished, but what about the "surge"?

What exactly did Shi Yaoguang want to "surge"?

An Siqi’s mind raced, and suddenly a thought crossed her mind.

Medicine!

The medicine Shi Yaoguang had just sold to Yu Zhenzhen!

If Shi Yaoguang’s medicine really had such apparent effects, she surely wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

By then, she could seize this opportunity to make a fortune!

With this thought, An Siqi’s gaze toward her became more wary.

She never would have imagined that Shi Yaoguang still had such a chance to turn things around!

Shi Yiqing wasn’t as thoughtful as her, but from An Siqi’s expression, she could also sense that something was amiss.

"Siqi, what are you thinking?"

An Siqi’s voice trembled as she shared her thoughts.

After hearing them, Shi Yiqing’s face turned pale.

If An Siqi’s speculation was true, then...

The image of Shi Yaoguang in poverty and distress she had pictured couldn’t possibly exist.

Far from being destitute, Shi Yaoguang could instead take this opportunity to make a fortune in one fell swoop!

"You don’t need to look at me like that."

Shi Yaoguang met their resentful gazes and shrugged her shoulders, "It’s unnecessary."

"You..." An Siqi seemed to have been choked by the air, coughing several times before she said in disbelief, "If you had the medication, why didn’t you take it out earlier?"

Shi Yaoguang chose to be selectively deaf, "Earlier? What earlier? Did you bring me breakfast?"

An Siqi’s eyes reddened as she glared at her, "Shi Yaoguang!"

Shi Yaoguang rubbed her ears: "I’m right here, don’t shout so loud, it’s not good to make such a scene in public."

After that, without giving An Siqi a chance to argue, she turned to the officer and said, "Officer, I’ve clarified everything I needed to for myself."

"Now, isn’t it time for you to move and invite them for tea?"

Shi Yaoguang was looking eager to try, and it was at this moment that everyone remembered the purpose of the officers’ visit.

The principal, as if awakening from a dream, looked at Shi Yaoguang hesitantly and was about to speak: "Shi..."

Shi Yaoguang smiled at him, "Principal, I also need to go to the police station with the officer. The matter we discussed earlier, please talk it over with my grandfather."

Shi Yaoguang said this and waved at Quan Jinbei.

It was only then that Shi Yiqing and the others noticed that Quan Jinbei had also appeared at the scene.

Everyone’s attention turned to Quan Jinbei, and the sound of sharp intakes of breath rose and fell around the room.

Someone couldn’t contain a shriek akin to that of a startled prairie dog.

"Aaah... who is the handsome guy in the wheelchair? I thought Shen Huan was handsome, but next to this guy, Shen Huan doesn’t even deserve to have a name!"

"Such an elegant scumbag with gold-rimmed glasses, I’m in love, in love!"

"What elegant scumbag? Clearly, he’s a celibate male god! I don’t care, from today on he is the top idol for me!"

"Wuuu... handsome brother, I’m yours!!"

"..."

Amid the chatter, a discordant voice of doubt arose.

"What’s the use of getting so excited when you don’t even know who he is?"

The crowd looked in the direction of the voice and saw a guy with pimples on his forehead speaking sarcastically.

No one even felt like humoring such a person.

Shi Yiqing and the others were led away, while Shi Yaoguang followed behind with composure and broad strides.

The principal also wanted to go with them, but recalling Shi Yaoguang’s instructions, he had to stay and discuss with Quan Jinbei about the contracting issue of the school’s back hill.

"Master, Mrs. Quan has mentioned to me about contracting the back hill of the subsidiary school campus, and I’ve discussed it with the board members, and they have no objections, but... there have been rumors about some weird things happening on the back hill, I’m worried Mrs. Quan isn’t aware of the situation, so please relay my concerns..."

Quan Jinbei listened to him patiently and nodded slightly, "She knows about the situation on the back hill, just proceed as you were previously discussing."

The principal felt relieved upon hearing this.

He really worried that Quan Jinbei might think he had trapped Shi Yaoguang.

After all, he didn’t know whether the supernatural incidents reported at the subsidiary school’s site were true or not.

Once they had quickly finished discussing the contracting issue for the back hill, Quan Jinbei was ready to go to the police station to check on the situation.

The principal also felt intrigued, however...

He didn’t have the courage to ask Quan Jinbei to give him a lift.

...

After the core issue was resolved and the audience at the school witnessed the drama, the students were left with dazed expressions as if their souls had drifted off.

It took a while before someone nudged their companion and said unsurely, "Hey, did you notice..."

"I think I’ve discovered a big secret!"

"What a coincidence, me too!!"

The two exchanged glances, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Such conversations were not uncommon, as many people had secretive and thrilled expressions on their faces.

Some uninformed students, noting these expressions, even wondered if they were high on something.

"You guys haven’t collectively done ’that,’ have you?"

In the face of skepticism, the students who believed they knew a secret displayed a look that said, "You wouldn’t understand."

Shi Yaoguang was unaware that her identity had been exposed by her parting words and the conversation between the principal and Quan Jinbei.

She had already completed her statement and was waiting for the police’s decision regarding Shi Yiqing and the others.
