Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

At this time, Qiu Jing was with her family. It was rare for a businesswoman to rest for a few days since she was busy all year. She frowned as she received this message from Liu Man.

Her husband asked, “What? Is something wrong with the company?”

“You still remember that girl I told you about,

whom I found when I went back to my college?”

“Of course, you kept on complimenting her.”

“She asked me when she will be receiving the payment.”

“Why is she so urgent? You will give her the money. Besides, why is she asking you for the money? She’s like a farmer asking the landlord for payment; it’s crass.”

“This is my first time encountering something like this. I’m disappointed with this child. She’s even greedier than I thought.”

“Maybe her family is too poor, and she wants this money to ameliorate her conditions.”

Qiu Jing thought of Liu Man having a barbecue with a vet at such a late time and didn’t even care about her safety. She did seem like an impoverished one, such a waste of appearance and temperament.

“I’ll only give her this one chance at participating in a film. I won’t be cooperating with her a second time.”

Half an hour had passed before Qiu Jing replied to Liu Man, “The finance department of the company is still on vacation, and they will only be able to pay you after they return.”

Liu Man continued to ask, “When will that be?”

“You’ll get your money at the start of March,” Qiu Jing was already very annoyed as she typed out this message.

The finance department always procrastinated. Besides, they were only returning from the holidays, and nobody felt like going to work. The payment probably would not even be out by the start of March.

But Liu Man couldn’t wait at all, “Professor Qiu, can you please give the money to me before then? Something is gtoing on in my family, and I need the money.”

After five minutes, she received Qiu Jing’s answer, “Go find my assistant, Zhou Xi. Her WeChat ID is 187XXXXXXXX.”

Liu Man added Zhou Xi’s WeChat, and Zhou Xi accepted her request within a second because Qiu Jing had already called her beforehand. She got told to take 60k RMB from the General Manager Backup Fund and give it to Liu Man. It includes the salary of 50k, 8,000 RMB of daily allowance, and 2,000 RMB for her traveling fee when she returned.

Zhou Xi even asked with much confusion, “The full price of a plane ticket flying from Shanghai to the capital would be 2,000. Even if you add the taxi fees, that would be more than enough.”

Qiu Jing was infuriated, “Just give her the full price!” She didn’t want anything to do with people like her, who entangled people because of money.

After a day, Zhou Xi transferred 60k to Liu Man through Paypal.

It was the seventh day after New Year’s Eve, and Zhang Pei had also returned with the 15k she borrowed from her family. After the break, she didn’t gain any weight but lost a lot.

Zhang Pei’s hometown was a small city on the perimeters of the capital. Her parents were still alive, and she had a brother and a sister. She called them for money right after her husband got into the incident. On this trip, she intended to go home to get the money, and she also wanted to borrow some more from her friends.

But Zhang Pei had left her hometown for more than two decades. After she married Liu Chenyu, she even quit her job to become a housewife. Zhang Pei rarely contacted any of her family members, friends, or old college classmates. When she asked if she could get a loan, those people asked her, “Didn’t you get a good marriage? Your husband is a government official and earns lots of money, and you even quit your job. Why do you even need a loan?”

There was no one willing to lend her money.

She kept note of the amount of money she still needed to borrow. She only got 2 million from her bank loan, and she still needs 18k! What should she do?

Zhang Pei had been thinking of ways to get more money on her entire journey back to the capital.

Liu Chenyu’s parents had all passed away. He only had two sisters, who already got married, and he rarely contacted them. It wasn’t realistic for Zhang Pei to get a loan from them.

The few friends Liu Chenyu had were his colleagues. They all stopped talking to his family ever since the incident.

After careful consideration, Zhang Pei realized she could only depend on Sun Yiyi now. Sun Yiyi was a lawyer, and his wife was a judge. Their family conditions had always been better than Zhang Pei’s. Their daughter, Sun Weiwei, had always been academically stronger than Liu Man. Sun Weiwei never had tutoring, never had to pay for an advisor, and never paid an extra penny to get her into the Capital City University. On the contrary, when Zhang Pei thought about her own family, she had paid tens of thousands of RMB only to get Liu Man to learn the piano. Not to mention the money spent on Liu Man’s hobbies and her love of shopping for shoes, clothing, and make-up.

Sun Yiyi knew the troubles going on in her family. He voluntarily lent her that 150k RMB.

If she asked for 180k more, Zhang Pei believed Sun Yiyi would not say no.

The urgent Zhang Pei called Sun Yiyi on her way home.

Sun Yiyi, on the other side of the call, said he wanted to discuss it with his wife first and will call back later before hanging up. After a moment, he called back and told Zhang Pei he was willing to lend her the 180k.

Zhang Pei couldn’t wait to share this good news with her daughter as soon as she got home.

She didn’t expect Liu Man to say, “Mom, call Uncle Sun back right now. Tell him we have enough money, and we don’t need the 180k from him anymore,” She showed Zhang Pei the money she had in Paypal; the 210k RMB, “The 60k in there are my payment from my part-time job, and the rest of them are from live-streaming.”

Zhang Pei was astonished. Was it that easy to earn money just by live-streaming?

“You didn’t do any illegal things?” Zhang Pei did not want to suspect her daughter, but she had to.

Liu Man put on a stern expression, “I swear to god. Every penny I earned is completely legit and clean.”

Zhang Pei still felt a bit suspicious. In just two months, her daughter earned 150k? Since when was money that easy to get?

But in Zhang Pei’s heart, her husband was still the one that mattered most. With the money, everything was much better now. She called Sun Yiyi in front of Liu Man.

At this moment, Sun Yiyi was also with his family as he received this call.

His wife, Wei Ying, asked, “Who is it from?”

“It’s Zhang Pei again,” Zhang Pei’s first call, asking for the loan, was from half an hour ago, “She said that she now has enough money and won’t need a loan anymore.”

Wei Ying was surprised, “Where did she borrow her 180k in such a short time?”

Sun Yiyi seemed more surprised than his wife, “She said Liu Man did some part-time and earned more than 200k.”

Wei Ying laughed.

“I don’t believe it.”

“I believe it.”

The couple looked at their daughter at the same time. Wei Ying asked, “Didn’t you stop being a friend with Liu Man?”

“It has no relations with the fact that I believe she can earn money.”

Sun Weiwei had on a pair of golden-framed glasses. She was very near-sighted, so her lenses were thick and large. Her glasses covered up half of her face. She had single-edged eyelids, her eyes weren’t big, and her nose bridge wasn’t high. Her glasses covered up all her defects. Because she was always hardworking as a student, she didn’t have much hair, so she considered her hair precious. She carefully tied them up, which was why she was the type that always had a ponytail.

In high school, Liu Man said Sun Weiwei looked ugly. But now, she was just a normal girl and didn’t count as ugly. Because she spent most of her time with books, she seemed very sophisticated. If one stared at her long enough, one would think her very pretty.
