Thanks to My Tycoon System, Divorced, Remarried, and Making Millions

"Amazing! This is absolutely delicious!"

In the private room, Jiang Li gave a thumbs-up.

Shen Yanzhi reminded her as he grilled the meat, "No matter how good it is, don’t eat too much."

Jiang Li pouted. "I know, I know! You’re such a nag!"

The restaurant had provided a server to grill for them, but Shen Yanzhi, not wanting to leave it to someone else, sent them away.

Now, only Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi were left in the spacious private room.

She had barely taken two bites when she got a call from Liu Qian. "Sister Jiang, people online aren’t just bashing you now, they’re bashing Brother Shen, too. Are you sure we don’t need to do anything?"

Jiang Li clicked her tongue. She was fiercely protective of her own.

’They could bash her, that was fine. But bashing Shen Yanzhi? That was not happening.’

She had planned on waiting a few more days, but not anymore. "I’m going to start a livestream in a bit," she said. "Boost the feed for me."

"Okay, no problem."

True to her word, Jiang Li opened Douyin, started a livestream, and casually shared the link in the Dream Maker group chat.

The group, which had started with just a few members, had grown so large that it now spanned several chats.

And so, less than three minutes after Jiang Li went live, her viewer count shot past one hundred thousand people.

After all, with a major streamer like Zheng Qi and two other internet celebrities, Zhao Jingyi and Xia Mengxue, in the group, they all brought their own massive followings.

Jiang Li propped her phone to the side, aimed the camera at herself, and gave a poised, natural greeting. "Good evening, everyone! I’m Jiang Li!"

"I’m sure many of you know who I am, so I’ll skip the introductions."

[Nobody ever said Jiang Li was this beautiful! Is it too late for me to become a fan just for her looks?]

[No wonder they say the prettier the woman, the bigger the liar. She’s got the face of a seductress and only does shady things. Can’t anyone put her in her place?]

[No wonder she’s rich. If I had her looks, I’d be rich too. Just lie on a bed, spread your legs, and the money would roll right in.]

Watching the endless stream of scrolling comments, Jiang Li narrowed her eyes.

She knew she couldn’t really blame the viewers. After all, someone was deliberately stirring the pot.

And online commenters are often the least discerning group of people; they’ll believe anything they read.

"I only want to make three points here. First, I didn’t refuse to help someone in need. On the contrary, I already warned them back at the class reunion, but no one believed me."

"Second, I hired several of my assistants at that same reunion. So the idea that I’m the type to get rich, forget my roots, and look down on my former classmates just isn’t true."

"Third, for those of you spreading rumors and slander, I will be having my lawyer send you a letter. The internet is not a lawless land, and you will be held accountable for your words."

’If these people dare to bash Shen Yanzhi online now, they’ll dare to attack him in person later.’

’In that case, they had to be made to pay a price.’

’To learn what they should and shouldn’t say.’

’They’re all adults; they have to be responsible for their own actions.’

’Otherwise, what’s the point of having police?’

Zheng Qi had been watching the livestream the whole time. As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, she immediately uploaded a video she had edited earlier.

As a content creator, she was naturally always filming videos.

As luck would have it, she happened to have her camera on her that day and had recorded the entire incident.

In fact, she had wanted to post it as soon as the online attacks against Jiang Li started trending.

But since Jiang Li hadn’t given the word, she hadn’t dared to act rashly.

Now that Jiang Li had brought the matter out into the open, Zheng Qi certainly wasn’t going to hold her back.

After publishing the video, she even spent ten thousand yuan to promote it, terrified that it wouldn’t go viral.

After she terminated the contract with her previous company, she’d been allowed to keep the account, but it had been maliciously mass-reported and was now somewhat shadow-banned.

After posting the video, Zheng Qi didn’t stick around in the livestream, instead continuing her date with Lu Zhi’an.

It was Valentine’s Day, after all. And even though Lu Zhi’an was just a trial boyfriend, they still had to go through the proper motions.

Jiang Li had no idea that Zheng Qi had posted the video. She had planned to end the stream after making her three points, but the viewers were too enthusiastic, so she started chatting with them in the comments.

"As long as you have a dream, as long as you have ambition, and as long as you haven’t committed murder or arson, our company is hiring."

"Salary and benefits? We offer a standard full benefits package, a base salary of 8,000, eight-hour workdays, and no overtime."

"We’re not looking for assistants right now; those positions are already filled."

Seeing that Jiang Li was so busy answering viewers’ questions that she had barely eaten, Shen Yanzhi reminded her softly, "Xiao Li, it’s going to get cold if you don’t eat."

Jiang Li finally snapped out of it. She looked at the bowl in front of her, which was piled high with a small mountain of food. Propping her hands on the table, she tilted her head and asked, "Didn’t you just tell me not to eat too much? Why did you pile so much food on my plate?"
