"... Although this isn't my first time visiting the Ye Family, every time I come to Sister Momo's house, I feel like it's really huge! Is this really not a palace?" Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim, following Shen Yan step by step to Ye Mo's residence. "No wonder Sister Momo doesn't want to work now. If I suddenly became rich, I wouldn't want to work either!"
Shen Yan: "... Ye Mo doesn't not want to work; she just wants to rest. She's been very tired these past few years and has hardly had a break."
Ye Mo's goal from the very beginning of entering the industry was clear: to make money, lots and lots of money, so that even when she got old and lost her beauty, she would have enough money to support herself in retirement. So since entering the industry, she has been working hard toward this goal and has hardly taken a break.
Of course, part of the reason was that she had been terrified of poverty before. It was because she had no money that she couldn't continue her studies or do anything else.
"... Moreover, she now has new goals and is working hard towards them," Shen Yan continued. "If possible, as a friend, I would also agree with her taking a break to read and study, and enrich herself."
Ye Mo entered the industry too early. At the time, she had no idea what to do and stumbled into it by accident. She might not be able to decide whether to continue in this industry until she finishes her studies. But no matter what choice she makes then, Shen Yan feels that he will respect her.
As the two were talking, they were led to Ye Mo's room by the Ye Family's servants.
Ye Mo's room was large, divided into three rooms: a study, a bedroom, and a large walk-in closet. The computer was in the study, which also had a webcam. Shen Yan and the others came over mainly to adjust the equipment and assist Ye Mo with his work.
The finale will air at 7:35 PM...
[ Flowers Fall Throughout the City ] is a satellite TV drama, broadcast on satellite TV first, and then streamed online a day later. Ye Mo and his group followed the satellite TV schedule, so the broadcast time was 7:35.
Shen Yan said, "You need to be ready twenty minutes in advance."
This wasn't the first time Ye Mo had cooperated with the promotion like this; she was very familiar with this business. As usual, while Shen Yan and the others were setting up the equipment, the makeup artist did her makeup and styling first.
The makeup artist was someone Ye Mo knew well; ever since she stepped into the Ye Family, her lips had always been O-shaped.
Recently, rumors about Ye Mo having powerful connections have been circulating in the industry. The makeup artist had guessed that Ye Mo had someone backing him, but she never expected that Ye Mo's background was so powerful!
" Sister Momo, is it too late for me to cling to her coattails?" The makeup artist looked at Ye Mo with starry eyes. "Why didn't you ever say you were from the Ye Family? If you had said so earlier, you would have been able to walk with impunity in the industry long ago. How come you were bullied by those people before?"
Ye Mo: "... If I had only just found out that I have such a powerful background, would you believe me?"
The makeup artist burst out laughing, "You're so funny!"
Ye Mo shrugged: See? To be honest, it wasn't much.
People believe her, but every word she said is true.

It was 7 p. m. When Shen Yan and his team checked the equipment to make sure it was working properly, Ye Mo officially started broadcasting at 7:20 p. m.
Tonight's live stream is a joint broadcast with other actors from the same drama, namely the male lead, the second female lead, and the second male lead, making a total of four people.
The drama "[ Flowers Fall Throughout the City ]" has been airing recently, and as soon as the live stream started, the popularity of the live stream room began to grow rapidly. Ye Mo greeted several colleagues familiarly, and the atmosphere in the live stream room was quite good. The comments from netizens kept scrolling by, and there were many people speaking.
Ye Mo had to admit that their [ Flowers Fall Throughout the City ] troupe was truly a hit.
With the finale airing time fast approaching, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly echoed in Ye Mo's mind: [Ding-dong--A huge amount of Gossip Points detected!]
[Celebrity Li Xiangxiang has been harassed by obsessive fans for years, and today, this particular fan actually broke into Li Xiangxiang home and sneaked in...]
Ye Mo listened to everyone's conversation with a smile, her expression unchanged. However, if someone looked closely at her, they would notice that her gaze suddenly sharpened for a moment, and then her eyes landed precisely on the upper right corner of the live stream window, which was the window of Li Xiangxiang, the second female lead in the drama.
" Xiangxiang..." Ye Mo suddenly called out.
Chapter 91: The Last Melon Ends
Li Xiangxiang didn't expect Ye Mo to suddenly call her.
"What's wrong, Sister Momo?" she asked instinctively, and the others also looked at Ye Mo with confusion.
Ye Mo asked her casually, "Judging from your background, are you at home right now? Are your assistant and agent with you too?"
Li Xiangxiang was puzzled, not understanding why Ye Mo would suddenly ask about her assistant and agent.
"I'm at home," she replied, "But my assistant and agent aren't here; I'm home alone."
Watching dramas via live stream, even from home, isn't complicated. She's done it before and is quite familiar with the process, so she didn't bring her assistant or agent.
Ye Mo: "Really?"
She crossed her arms, leaned back, her back resting naturally against the chair, and slightly raised her chin, giving her an air of haughtiness.
"Then go downstairs and buy me a bottle of Coke," she said.
Li Xiangxiang was taken aback. "Now?"
Ye Mo nodded. "That's right, now. And I want you to go downstairs and buy it yourself, then bring it to my house tomorrow."
Li Xiangxiang was bewildered, as were the others, and the live stream chat was filled with a dense barrage of question marks.
"What are you still sitting there for?" Ye Mo seemed angry, staring coldly at Li Xiangxiang in front of the camera, and said, "Aren't you going yet?"
Ye Mo's gaze was incredibly oppressive, like a knife that could cut. Li Xiangxiang felt her scalp tingle and her mind go blank under his stare.
"I, I'll go right now!" she said instinctively, standing up and rushing out with a flustered expression.
Ye Mo: "Wait."
She looked at him with a smile and said, "Take your phone with you and keep the live stream on. I want to see you come downstairs with my own eyes, so that no one can fake it."
Li Xiangxiang stammered, "... Okay."
Between the two of them, Ye Mo looked like a bullying tyrant, while Li Xiangxiang looked like the pitiful little girl who had been bullied, completely bewildered yet burning with anger.
[What is Ye Mo doing? Has she gone mad? Or has she been bewitched?]
[Bullying! This is blatant bullying! Ye Mo isn't even pretending anymore? He's openly bullying his co-stars on camera?]
[Haha, I told you before that Ye Mo wasn't a good person, but you didn't believe me. Now her true colors have been revealed, haven't you?]
[ Momo isn't the type to bully others; there must be another reason for this!]
[Haha, Ye Mo's fans, don't be ridiculous. You all saw Ye Mo bullying people with your own eyes, and you still want to defend him? Are you dish soap spirits?]
[I don't understand this. This is a live broadcast! Even if Ye Mo likes to bully people, he wouldn't be stupid enough to do this on camera, would he?]
[She's finally letting her guard down. If she acts like this in front of the camera, who knows how awful she is behind the scenes? Who knows how many aspiring actors she's bullied!]
[I'm so angry!! This is infuriating! Our Xiangxiang is such an honest and pitiful girl, how could Ye Mo bully her like this!!]
[ Ye Mo isn't stupid. Isn't she afraid of ruining her reputation by doing this so suddenly? I feel like there's something fishy going on here. Let's wait and see.]
[I also think something's fishy. Could this be a new promotional tactic for the " Flowers Fall Throughout the City " production team? If so, isn't that going a bit too far?]
