Does winning or losing really matter?

Su Yang opened the gift tab, held down Carnival, and sent ten in a row.

The screen instantly filled with dazzling Carnival effects. Lin Yiyi completely lost control, her little face flushed red as she shouted,

"Thank you, My Groceries Brother!!"

—Here they come, here they come! Boss Groceries is raising the stakes!

—Awesome, awesome! Boss Groceries is awesome!

Little Radish on the other side was completely dumbfounded. She had thought this PK would definitely be an easy win.

After all, she was a streamer with more than two hundred thousand followers and over a year of streaming experience. Every time she went live, several regular big spenders would send her plenty of gifts.

Seeing Lin Yiyi, who had just over eight thousand followers, suddenly surpass her by hundreds of thousands of points, she felt both angry and envious.

—I've got to be kidding. What's going on over there? How many Huazi did they send?

—Looks like the big spender who sent the other side twenty Huazi before is back. I'm going over to take a look.

Meng Wenzhou watched the screen and smiled. "He's got some serious firepower. Ten Carnivals."

"Ten? That's not much. Brother Meng, raise the stakes a little."

Meng Wenzhou became interested as well. Men loved competing over inexplicable things.

For example, when there was a relatively high leaf along the road, they would compare who could jump higher and touch it as they walked past.

It was a competition without any stakes. The loser would simply say, "You're impressive."

But in a boy's eyes, "You're impressive" was basically the highest praise there was.

Meng Wenzhou did not waste words and sent ten Huazi as well.

The livestream completely exploded. The comments began flooding the screen, and Lin Yiyi could no longer make out what the viewers were saying.

All she could do was thank them nonstop and perform a sexy little dance.

Seeing Meng Wenzhou follow up with ten Huazi, Su Yang smiled lightly and sent eleven more, one more than Meng Wenzhou.

—Heavens! This is insane! The two big spenders are going at it!

—This is incredible! Isn't this way more entertaining than a TV drama?

—There are actually two big spenders in a small streamer's room at the same time. She's unbelievably lucky.

—I wonder how much the streamer will make after this PK.

Looking at the eleven Carnivals Su Yang had sent, Meng Wenzhou laughed. "This guy's interesting. Does he think this is an auction? He only sent one more than me."

He smiled and opened the gift tab, then sent twenty Huazi in one go.

Seeing the twenty Carnivals Meng Wenzhou had sent, Su Yang smiled faintly. "You've got some firepower too."

He glanced at the time. There were fifteen seconds left, so this time he sent thirty Huazi in a row.

The two went back and forth, and the Carnival effects never stopped filling the screen. Anyone who did not know better would have thought they were in the livestream of some major celebrity.

In that short while, the two of them had already sent nearly a hundred Huazi.

Lin Yiyi was completely dumbfounded. This was both the largest amount of gifts and the most expensive gifts she had received since she started streaming.

She stopped dancing and sat in her chair, mouth hanging open as she stared at the screen in shock.

Little Radish's livestream was also flooded with comments.

—The two big spenders over there are going at it. Neither will back down, and they're starting with ten Huazi each.

—I'm done! Is their money made of paper? Are they sending Carnivals like beer?

—People like that are worth at least tens of millions in real life. Sending hundreds of thousands is nothing to them!

—What a pity that our big spender is so stingy. The difference is huge.

—Who says otherwise?

—Who the hell are you calling stingy? Send some yourself if you've got the guts!

—I'll pass. I'm fine just watching the fun...

Watching Lin Yiyi's score surpass two million, Little Radish was nothing but envious.

In her more than a year of streaming, she had participated in countless PKs. She had never received a million points, or even three hundred thousand.

Looking at Lin Yiyi on the other side, she believed she was no worse than her. But why had no top-tier big spender ever sent her gifts? She could not figure it out.

Just as Su Yang finished sending the thirty Huazi, the PK ended as well.

The chubby man beside Meng Wenzhou said anxiously, "Damn, there's no time left, Brother Meng. You lost!"

Meng Wenzhou smiled unconcernedly. "So what if I lost? It wasn't a life-or-death PK. Why are you more worked up than I am?"

"I'm just unhappy for you! You're Brother Meng. When have you ever lost to anyone in a PK gift battle?"

Meng Wenzhou patted the chubby man solemnly. "It's a small matter. I only sent some gifts. Besides, my money doesn't grow on trees. Gifts still cost money, don't they?"

"But!"

"There's no but. The other guy has real ability too. He has more money than me, and I accept that."

"How could he possibly have more money than you, Brother Meng? I refuse to believe it."

Meng Wenzhou picked up the iced Americano on the table and took a sip. "You know, he's actually piqued my curiosity. I'd quite like to meet this guy. His profile has no posts, and his age is listed as twenty-four. If he's really that young, maybe we could become friends."

"As expected of Brother Meng. I could never match your open-mindedness. If it were me, I'd have to beat him."

"We're not children anymore. It's just a game. Is winning or losing really that important?" Meng Wenzhou turned toward the chubby man beside him.

Hearing this, the chubby man nodded and fell into thought...

On the other side, Lin Yiyi looked at her score of more than two million and felt as if she were dreaming.

She could earn more than a hundred thousand from this one PK.

More than a hundred thousand! What did that mean? In five minutes, she had earned what someone else might make in over a year.

Now she was even more determined to pursue the comfortable career of livestreaming. As long as she persevered, it would not be long before she could buy a car and a house.

Little Radish had lost utterly. Unwillingly, she performed a sexy little dance before ending the connection.

Seeing that the PK was over and the other streamer had finished dancing, Su Yang swiped the screen and continued searching for other targets.

Just then, a message popped up at the top of his phone.

Invincible is So Lonely added you as a friend.

Su Yang smiled faintly. He exited the livestream, opened the message interface, and followed the other person as well.

As soon as they connected, a private message came from the other side.

"Hello, brother. Can we get to know each other?"

Su Yang typed back, "What? You're unhappy because you couldn't beat me in the gift battle?"

"What are you talking about, brother? I simply wanted to get to know you and make a friend. Seeing how generously you send gifts, you must be a straightforward person. I like making friends with people like that."

"Oh? If you just want to make friends, then there's no problem. I like making friends too."

Meng Wenzhou saw Su Yang's message and smiled. "What should I call you, brother?"

"Su Yang. And you?"

"Meng Wenzhou."

"Meng Wenzhou?" Su Yang stared at the message and murmured the name under his breath.

Why does that sound familiar? Meng Wenzhou... Damn, could he be Meng Jianyun's son from Yuehai Group?

Su Yang typed, "Are you Meng Jianyun's son?"

"Yes." Meng Wenzhou replied readily.

Holy crap, a top-tier rich second-generation heir from Haicheng? Su Yang thought in surprise.

The name Meng Jianyun was quite famous in China. However, Su Yang only knew that he was from Haicheng and was an extremely wealthy man. He knew nothing else.

He had only learned that Meng Wenzhou was Meng Jianyun's son when chatting with his coworkers at his previous job.

He had never expected to run into him on Douyin, much less have Meng Wenzhou be the one to add him first.

After all, Meng Jianyun had ranked among the top twenty richest people in China the previous year.

His businesses spanned the entire country, including large supermarket chains, luxury shopping centers, five-star hotels, and various chain restaurants.

Su Yang's face filled with surprise. He exited Douyin and opened Aidu to search for Meng Jianyun.

He opened the encyclopedia entry and scrolled down. Under the section for children, he saw two names: Meng Wenzhou and Meng Qianyu.

"So he really is that man's son. I didn't expect the old man to have a daughter too."

"Meng Wenzhou... Not bad. It's worth getting to know him. Knowing someone of this caliber can only benefit me."

With that thought, Su Yang returned to his chat with Meng Wenzhou on Douyin.

"I didn't expect you to be Meng Jianyun's son. For a top-tier rich heir like you to take the initiative to get to know me, I'm honestly a little surprised."

Meng Wenzhou immediately replied, "What's so surprising? We get along, so I wanted to make a friend."

Looking at Meng Wenzhou's message, Su Yang was a little surprised that a super-rich heir could be so easygoing.

His impression of Meng Wenzhou improved considerably.

"Then, Brother Meng, shall we add each other on WeChat? If we ever do business together, it'll be more convenient to have each other's contact information."

"Sure~" After replying, Meng Wenzhou immediately sent over his WeChat ID.

Su Yang copied it into WeChat and opened the app, only to see that Lin Yiyi had already accepted his friend request.

He left it alone for the moment and added Meng Wenzhou first.

Meng Wenzhou was very efficient. As soon as Su Yang added him, it showed that Meng Wenzhou had accepted.

Afterward, Su Yang and Meng Wenzhou chatted briefly on WeChat, learning a little about each other before ending the conversation.

After leaving his chat with Meng Wenzhou, Su Yang received a message from Lin Yiyi right afterward.

"Are you My Groceries Brother?"

"That's me. My real name is Su Yang."

"Brother Su, hello~ My name is Lin Yiyi. I really don't know how to thank you for the gifts you sent me these two times. How about I treat you to a meal?"

Su Yang smiled faintly and typed back, "You're done streaming?"

"Mm-hmm~ I'm done. You and that Brother Lonely sent me so many gifts today that I'm not in the mood to stream for the time being."

Su Yang smiled. "It wasn't much. I'll send you some gifts whenever I have time when you go live in the future."

"Wow, thank you so much, Brother Su! What about what I just said about treating you to a meal?"

"Sure. But are you in Haicheng?"

"I am~"

"Alright. It's almost mealtime anyway. Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay~"
