Chapter 144 - 136: Gu Heng’s Reward

Chapter 144: Chapter 136: Gu Heng’s Reward

On the flybridge deck, the twin sisters’ sensual dance heated up the atmosphere, and everyone started raising their glasses more frequently.

In the eyes of the many men present, the twin sisters were "sensible" girls who knew how to please.

But to the other female influencers, the twins were just a couple of show-offs.

Meanwhile, in the guest bathroom on the main deck.

The influencers Yaya and Xi Xi were standing in front of the vanity mirror, applying lipstick.

"I’m so done."

Yaya suddenly sighed, her voice tinged with resentment. "We were all just sitting here perfectly fine, but those two sisters just had to be extra and start dancing. Now that they’ve pulled this stunt, things are going to get competitive. Everyone will take turns going up to dance, and we won’t be able to avoid it."

"We could have just made our money sitting down, but no, they had to go and up the ante."

"If this keeps up, who knows what time we’ll get to leave the yacht tonight."

Hearing her friend Yaya’s complaint, Xi Xi shrugged. "Can we even compare ourselves to them? They’re with Chairman Gu, a true titan."

"If they play their cards right with Chairman Gu, they’ll have latched onto the ultimate patron."

"He’s only eighteen, a director of a publicly traded company, and he owns a top-of-the-line private jet like the Bombardier Global 7500."

"And the key is, Chairman Gu is young and handsome, not to mention well-spoken, knowledgeable, and incredibly cultured. If I were sitting next to him, I’d be pulling out all the stops too."

Xi Xi didn’t join in the complaining; on the contrary, she seemed to understand completely.

"Oh?"

"So you’d even be willing to spend the night with him?"

Yaya teased, raising a perfectly shaped brow at Xi Xi.

"If it’s Chairman Gu, of course I would."

"You get paid, you secure a powerful patron, and you get to enjoy yourself."

"With his looks and physique? Giving myself to Chairman Gu wouldn’t be a loss for me at all."

Xi Xi nodded matter-of-factly. "You’re saying you wouldn’t?"

"If it were Chairman Gu..."

Yaya said with a giggle, "I’d do it for free!"

"Hey!"

"You’re such a hypocrite."

"Just a minute ago, you were complaining about those sisters showing off, and now look at you."

Xi Xi said, annoyed, "You’re ruining the market! That’s not conducive to healthy competition!"

"Ah..."

"I was just kidding."

"I guess I just drew the short straw tonight, getting stuck with the guy with the lowest status here."

Yaya sighed. She peeked outside to make sure no one was there before continuing in a hushed voice, "Ever since the party started, that President Zhao has been going around toasting one person after another. And every time he drinks, I have to drink with him."

"You think you’re unlucky? Try being me."

"Your President Zhao only seems to have the lowest status because the caliber of guests tonight is insane. It doesn’t mean he isn’t powerful in his own right."

"No matter how you slice it, he’s still a ’President.’ Out in the real world, he’s a big shot, and he’s definitely loaded.

"But the guy I’m with, Gao Zihao, is just some kid his older brother brought along for the experience. He just sits there like a greenhorn, too timid to even speak."

Xi Xi shook her head and started complaining right back.

"His brother seems pretty powerful, though."

"He’s probably still in school. Just think of it as investing in a growth stock."

Hearing Xi Xi put it that way, Yaya felt surprisingly better. She ended up being the one to comfort Xi Xi.

"Come on."

"Let’s head back up."

"We shouldn’t be gone for too long, or it’ll look like we have no manners."

Xi Xi said to Yaya after touching up her makeup.

Yaya nodded and followed Xi Xi upstairs. "Anyway, whoever wants to dance can dance. As long as nobody calls on me, I’m definitely not getting up there."

"Me neither."

"Lie flat, do the bare minimum, and collect the easy cash!"

"Dancing costs extra, okay?!"

Xi Xi shook her little fist, huffing in agreement.

The two girls chatted and laughed as they quickly made their way from the main deck back up to the flybridge.

As it happened, the twin sisters had just finished a couple of dances.

Everyone was applauding the twins. The moment Xi Xi and Yaya saw this, their expressions changed instantly. They started cheering for the sisters, "You girls were amazing!"

"So gorgeous!"

When you’re in the influencer circle, you have to have the social graces down pat.

But even as they shouted, they made no move to go up. Instead, they scurried back to their seats, clearly having no intention of being the next act.

Meanwhile, the twin sisters bowed to the crowd several times.

Then, looking rather giddy, they returned to Gu Heng’s side.

"Not bad."

"You danced very well."

Gu Heng praised them with a faint smile.

"Thank you, Chairman Gu!"

"We’re just happy you enjoyed it!"

"We’d like to toast you!"

This time, the younger sister, Shuyu, sat down next to Gu Heng.

Compared to her older sister Shuyue’s cool and mature vibe, Shuyu seemed much more vivacious.

Her smooth, pale, beautiful legs were turned completely toward Gu Heng.

Gu Heng clinked glasses with the sisters, took a sip, and then asked casually, "Do you two usually do PK battles on your live streams?"

"We do."

"Pretty much every day."

The younger sister, Shuyu, replied.

"Got any grudges?"

"Anyone you’re desperate to beat?"

Gu Heng asked again.

"Yes."

"Chairman Gu, do you know of Bingbing?"

"She’s a major influencer with over six million fans."

"Every time we have a PK battle with her, we lose."

Shuyu answered Gu Heng’s question without a second thought.

She pursed her lips at the end, obviously still salty about losing so many times.

"Go live."

"Challenge her to a PK battle."

"I’ll make sure you win."

Gu Heng gestured with his chin toward the younger sister.

"Huh?"

"Right now?"

Shuyu’s eyes widened, her expression a mixture of surprise and excitement.

"Now."

Gu Heng nodded and slowly took out his phone.

Seeing this, the sisters exchanged a look. Without another word, they immediately pulled out their phones and got to work.

They didn’t bother with fill lights, tripods, or sound cards.

At that moment, they had only one thought.

’Hard work really does pay off!’

Two dances in exchange for a guaranteed win from Gu Heng, and he even wanted them to challenge the strongest opponent they could.

Going live was actually quite simple.

All you needed was a phone.

The only difference was that without professional equipment, the video wouldn’t be high-definition and would look a bit blurry.

The twins quickly started the stream on their account, each putting on a Bluetooth earpiece.

"Hello, hello!"

"Hi, everyone!"

As major influencers with over two million fans, the sisters still had a solid base of loyal followers, even if their streams usually only pulled about a thousand viewers.

Moments after going live, hundreds of people had already flooded in.

"Where are you guys?"

"You’re not at home?"

"The video quality is so blurry."

"It’s a little noisy."

"Are you two out partying?"

...

The chat immediately lit up with comments, most of them curious about where the sisters were.

Since Gu Heng and Wang Yan were sitting close by, Wang Yan quickly noticed the sisters had started a live stream and frowned deeply.

But just as he was about to speak, he saw Gu Heng wave a dismissive hand.

"It’s fine."

"I told them to go live."

Gu Heng said casually, "They put on a good performance just now. This is a little reward for them."

"Oh..."

"So that’s what this is."

Hearing this, Wang Yan didn’t say anything more.

A reward?

Wang Yan might not have cared, but that didn’t mean the other influencers felt the same.

When they heard the word "reward," all their eyes involuntarily drifted toward the twin sisters.

Just then, the sound of Gu Heng and Wang Yan’s conversation was picked up by the stream, and the twins’ chat immediately exploded.

"???? "

"What’s going on? Why are there men’s voices?"

"What do they mean, ’good performance’?"

"Why do I feel like I’m being cucked right now?"

"Shuyu! Shuyue! What the hell are you two doing?"

...

The twins watched the comments scroll by, looking slightly awkward. They couldn’t really explain, so they just pretended not to see them and quickly initiated a PK battle with Bingbing.

They were in luck. Bingbing wasn’t in a battle, and the connection went through quickly.

The screen split in two, with Bingbing on the right.

"Where are you girls?"

"Why is your video so blurry?"

Bingbing leaned in for a closer look and muttered, "You just went live and you’re already challenging me. What are you up to?"

"Let’s go!"

"Xiaobingbing!"

"Time for a PK battle!"

"See if we don’t teach you a lesson today!"

The younger sister, Shuyu, looked thrilled, her tone utterly defiant.

"Oh?"

"Such bold words. Looks like you came prepared today."

Bingbing watched the two sisters with great interest.

"Xiaobingbing, you’ve beaten us so many times."

The older sister, Shuyue, also chimed in, "Let’s raise the stakes today. You in?"

"What’s the bet?"

Bingbing sat up a little straighter.

"Whoever loses has to praise the winner’s top patron for two minutes in their most flirtatious, baby-doll voice."

The younger sister Shuyu’s eyes darted around, and a mischievous idea struck her.

"You’re on!"

"Let’s reconnect for the match!"

A devilish little smile appeared on Bingbing’s otherwise innocent and beautiful face. Then, both sides disconnected to restart the match.

In the twins’ stream, the chat was flying.

"It’s over. They’re definitely going to lose this one."

"Her stream has a Level 65 patron, plus five more patrons over Level 50. She has over five thousand viewers."

"Are they drunk or something?"

"Useless. They couldn’t beat Bingbing even at their peak. Tonight is a lost cause."

...

The younger sister, Shuyu, watched the chat scroll by. Her confidence from a moment ago wavered when she saw that Bingbing had a Level 65 patron. Her heart started to pound nervously.

Soon, they reconnected.

The PK battle would last five minutes.

As soon as the match started, Bingbing made a "check mark" gesture with her hand.

The next second, her score bar shot up instantly.

In just a few seconds, it had already shot past 80,000 points.

On the screen, Bingbing wore a white chiffon dress, her snowy shoulders and slender arms completely bare. Her light brown hair cascaded naturally around a delicate, palm-sized oval face. Her features were exquisite, her skin was fairer than snow, and she looked exceptionally pure and captivating.

Gu Heng watched Bingbing on the high-definition stream, a peculiar glint in his eyes.

’This girl...’

’She looks quite good, too!’
