My mom doesn't love me
Du Rufeng looked at Xu Yi's outstretched finger, scoffed, and said, "You want ten million, huh? Fine."
Xu Yi smiled, shook his head, and said, "No, no, President Du, this means one hundred million."
[Negative emotions +100]
Du Rufeng looked at Xu Yi with an expression of utter disbelief, saying, "One hundred million? Xu Yi, aren't you being a bit too greedy!"
Xu Yi maintained his smile and said, "If vegetables at the market can go up in price, why can't I? I'm not thinking about a zombie virus outbreak, so what's wrong with you? Have you lost your mind?"
[Negative emotions +100]
Du Rufeng 'Du Rufeng face darkened with anger. His hands clenched into fists, and veins bulged on his forehead. Forcing himself to calm down, he forced a smile and said, "One hundred million is still a bit too much. Our company can't come up with that much money right now. How about fifty million?"
"Not so bad. Since President Du is a young master in Magic City, he must have his own wealth. He certainly doesn't lack 100 million, right? Besides, doesn't President Du also have Yingbu Entertainment? I believe President Du's Yingbu Entertainment will earn back 100 million in no time. Don't you think so?" Xu Yi said, still smiling as he looked at Du Rufeng.
The young master of Magic City can't come up with 100 million? He doesn't believe it; this guy must be hiding it!
[Negative emotions +100]
Du Rufeng tried to remain calm, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, I will transfer 100 million to President Xu's account later. But at the same time, I hope President Xu will stop going against Yingbu Entertainment. We may be good-tempered, but that doesn't mean we're easy to bully."
After saying that, Du Rufeng left with a cold face.
Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room were delighted to see Du Rufeng get his comeuppance.
[No matter how hard you work, you can't beat someone with innate talent. Du Rufeng, you might as well just give in.]
[Nemesis can only be nemesis!]
Am I the only one who cares about the Director in the corner? In that forgotten corner, he inevitably suffers the same fate.
[Those people could form a team together.]

"Boss, thank you..."
Xu Yi looked at Xu Yu, shook his head to indicate that he was fine, and said, "By the way, why are you auditioning alone? Didn't I ask Wu Qian to go with you? Where did she go?"
[Negative emotions +100]
"Boss, I... I'm so sorry."
Xu Yu's sudden apology caught Xu Yi off guard. Xu Yi smiled and asked, "Did something else happen?"
[Negative emotions +100]
"Boss, while Sister Qian and I were waiting for our audition, my mom and my younger brother came to see me. The reason I'm looking for acting roles is because my brother needs money. He lost his last web series project, so he hasn't had any money, and that's why they came to us..."
Xu Yi felt conflicted after hearing Xu Yu's words. In this day and age, how could anyone still be sexist? They were all his children!
While Xu Yi was pondering, what Xu Yu said next made Xu Yi even angrier.
[Negative emotions +100]
"When they came to me, they asked me for money. I said I didn't have any, and they started making a scene. I begged them to stop, saying that this play was very important to me, and I could pay them if it succeeded. But they still kept causing trouble. Sister Qian couldn't stand it anymore, so she said she would give them the money and then sent them away..."
After hearing about Xu Yu's experience, the Livestream Viewers in the Livestream Room all felt indignant on his Xu Yu.
[No, does this mean they've released people from the Qing Dynasty?]
[It's true what they say: A large forest has all kinds of birds; a strong country can produce all sorts of extraordinary beings.]

[Negative emotions +100]
Xu Yu stood opposite Xu Yi, the wind ruffling her hair, her eyes slightly red. She lowered her head, her fingers tightly gripping the hem of her clothes, her voice trembling slightly. "Do you know? I've known since I was little that my mother doesn't like me."
Xu Yi: "Don't you have a mother's love?"
"..."
[Negative emotions +100]
She paused, her throat tightening as if something was blocking it, and took a deep breath before continuing, "When I was little, if my younger brother fell down, my mom would rush over to hug him immediately, feeling incredibly sorry for him. But what about me? When I had a fever of 39 degrees Celsius, she would just coldly say, 'Don't be dramatic, go drink some hot water.'"
[Negative emotions +100]
Her voice trailed off, as if afraid of being overheard, yet she couldn't help but want to speak, "My mom will give my brother whatever he wants. New toys, new clothes, even if he doesn't want to go to school, my mom will make up excuses for him. But what about me? I don't even dare to ask for an extra book, afraid she'll say I'm wasting money."
[Negative emotions +100]
Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked with emotion. "Once, I got the highest score in the class and ran home excitedly, wanting to tell her. But she just glanced at the report card and said, 'What's the use of a girl studying so much? She'll just get married eventually anyway.'"
[Negative emotions +100]
Xu Yu raised her head, tears finally streaming down her face, and sobbed, "You know what? Sometimes I really feel like an outsider. Everything in this family belongs to my younger brother, even my mother's love. I... I just want her to look at me, even just once..."
[Negative emotions +100]
"You know what? Sometimes I really hate that I'm a girl. If I were a boy, would she love me more? Would she smile at me and be nice to me like she is to my brother?"
[Negative emotions +108]
Xu Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer. She squatted down, buried her head in her knees, and her shoulders trembled slightly. Her voice was almost a murmur, as if she were talking to herself. "I just want a little bit of love, just a little bit... Why is it so hard?"
[Negative emotions +100]
Xu Yi sighed, patted Xu Yu's head, and said, "So you came out to act, because only in this way will you have more money, and only then can you give them money, right?"
[Negative emotions +100]
Xu Yu forced back her tears, looked up at Xu Yi, and said, "I thought that as long as I made money and kept giving them money, they would fall in love with me. When Sister Qian took them away, the Director happened to see it, and he wanted to sexually harass me, saying he would make me the female lead and give me money..."
Xu Yi sensed something was amiss and quickly asked, "So Wu Qian hasn't come back since then?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh no! I hope something happened to Sister Qian! It's all my fault, I forgot what kind of people they are!"
