CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU LOGGED INTO YOUR STREAMING ACCOUNT? (FIRST UPDATE)

After driving for over a dozen hours, Ji Ning and Ye Tong finally arrived in front of a high-end hotel, ready to park and rest.

"Are you the customers recommended by President Sun?" The hotel receptionist’s eyes lit up significantly when she saw the VIP card handed over by the two, and her attitude was very respectful.

The President Sun she mentioned was the elegant woman they rescued halfway, named Sun Yazhu.

The precious daughter of the Sun Family in Beijing, she was also the vice president of the Sun Group, a true career woman powerhouse.

If it weren’t for the urgency to rush here for a business deal, Sun Yazhu wouldn’t have been driving alone and targeted by robbers.

Ye Tong felt a bit awkward; it was her first time staying in such a high-end hotel.

"I guess so. She told us to stay at a hotel with this name, saying there would be discounts. Could you tell me how much of a discount this card provides?"

Such a country bumpkin question didn’t diminish the receptionist’s respect; instead, her attitude became even more courteous. She returned the VIP card to Ye Tong with both hands, her voice gentle: "All guests holding our hotel’s Supreme VIP card can enjoy a complimentary seven-star service package. Please follow me, and I’ll take you to a specific suite first."

Ye Tong was stunned, looking in disbelief at the VIP card in the receptionist’s hand, her voice cracking a bit: "Free? Are you sure?"

"Yes, this card entitles you to free services at any of our hotels, but it’s limited to two people."

Ye Tong’s face was instantly filled with delight. She looked back at Ji Ning, giving her a playful wink.

Ji Ning yawned, asked a bit wearily, "Is there still food available now?"

"Yes, our restaurant provides 24-hour service. You can go directly to the third-floor VIP restaurant to dine, or you can have food delivered to your room."

The receptionist diligently led them to the top-level Supreme VIP area, selecting a sea-view room for them where they could see the ocean.

At this time, they were in Sea City, a famous coastal city on Hua Continent.

The economy and transportation here were very advanced, and the cost of living was higher than in other cities. It’s said that a meal of steamed buns here costs three times that of Anhe City, yet it doesn’t fill you up. The hotel’s price per night was exorbitantly high, even the budget hotels on the city’s outskirts were priced beyond what they were willing to spend.

If it weren’t for the Supreme VIP card given by Sun Yazhu and her strong invitation to stay, they wouldn’t have deliberately detoured off the highway to Sea City for lodging.

"Oh my god, is this what it’s like to live as a rich person?" Ye Tong buried herself in the soft sofa, gazing at the ocean outside, letting out a sigh of comfort.

"Haven’t you seen it before?"

Ji Ning took off her jacket, revealing the black tight-fitting tank top underneath.

Her thin body had gained a bit of weight, but she still looked very slim. Even though Ye Tong had seen it a few times, she couldn’t help but want Ji Ning to eat more to nourish her body.

"Sister Ning, how come you don’t gain weight even though you eat so much?"

"Fast metabolism."

"Why am I not blessed with a body type that doesn’t gain weight?"

Ji Ning glanced at her, not bothering to respond, and went straight into the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of the shower was heard.

Ye Tong suddenly remembered how she’d rolled around on the ground several times, hurriedly jumped up from the sofa, and turned to look.

Luckily, nothing was dirtied.

After both had showered and settled down, the doorbell rang.

Ye Tong went to open the door, seeing several waitstaff pushing a dining cart inside.

The team leader was a woman in a dark blue professional suit.

With a proper smile on her face, she respectfully introduced to the two: "Ladies, these are some of our hotel’s specialty dishes. You can choose your favorite dishes to keep."

The waitstaff pushed in eight dining carts, each loaded with serving plates.

As the dish covers were lifted, delectable dishes appeared before their eyes with an array of colors, smells, and tastes.

Ji Ning, who had been lazily sitting on the sofa, immediately sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly, and straightforwardly said, "Keep all of them."

The team leader’s smile froze for a moment but quickly masked it, smiling as she reminded, "Guests, these delicacies are available every day."

Hearing this, Ji Ning’s eyes shone even brighter, resolved to return to stay here again.

Ye Tong found it both amusing and exasperating, and said, "Keep them. My Sister Ning can eat a lot, it definitely won’t be wasted."

Once all the waitstaff left, Ye Tong turned around and sighed, "Sister Ning, let’s be a bit more restrained outside. Did you see the eyes of the team leader and those waitstaff? We almost scared them to death."

Ji Ning muttered something indistinctly while gnawing on half a roast chicken, which Ye Tong couldn’t catch clearly.

She was very hungry now; all she had eaten from morning till now was half a hamburger, while also having been beaten and experiencing such a major shock, she just wanted to enjoy herself.

Ye Tong picked up the other half of the roast chicken and started devouring it.

For a while, the suite was filled only with the sound of eating.

On the other side.

Sun Yazhu walked out of the police station, looking fatigued as she made several calls.

Soon a luxury car arrived, from which several female bodyguards in black suits got off. One of the bodyguards ran over with a worried look, took Sun Yazhu’s bag, and asked with concern, "President Sun, are you alright?"

"I’m fine, take me to Sea City."

It’s not far from here to Sea City, only a 3-hour ride by high-speed train.

By the time they arrived at the high-end hotel under the Sun Group in Sea City, it was already two in the morning.

The hotel manager ran over, opened the car door for Sun Yazhu, and quietly said, "President Sun, your room is ready."

Sun Yazhu massaged her aching temples, asking, "Did two girls check in during the day?"

The hotel manager thought for a moment, nodding quickly, "Yes, they did. They also had your VIP card and are staying in the top-floor ocean-view pavilion."

Sun Yazhu gave a slight nod, "Treat them well."

"Yes, may I ask who they are to you..." the hotel manager quietly inquired.

Sun Yazhu’s tired gaze suddenly turned sharp, and the hotel manager immediately lowered his head without asking further.

"Do your job."

"Yes..."

"Ah... damn, I forgot to livestream. Yesterday had such great content."

The next morning.

Ye Tong, training on the balcony, slapped her forehead and exclaimed, then looked inside through the balcony door, to where Ji Ning was resting with her eyes closed on the sofa.

"Sister Ning, how long has it been since you logged into your livestream account?"

Ever since Ye Tong joined a film crew, without anyone supervising Ji Ning, she hadn’t livestreamed in a week.

Seeing Ji Ning pretending to be dead and not responding, Ye Tong glared at her in annoyance, "Maintaining a livestream relies on consistency to build your fanbase. If you don’t stream regularly, your fans will soon all be gone."

Saying this, Ye Tong pulled out her phone to check Ji Ning’s livestream account, Ning’s Big Bowl.

"Ah... I remember you had over 200 followers before, right? How come there are only 106 left now?"

Ye Tong’s heart bled as if it wasn’t fans dropping but her own flesh.

Ji Ning opened one eye and said flatly, "Your posture is off. Want your bones dislocated?"

Ye Tong instantly shut up, even throwing her phone aside.

Ji Ning smiled with satisfaction.

Yet, after completing her body refining, Ye Tong resumed her endless chatter, which gave Ji Ning a headache.

Until the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Ding dong—"

Ji Ning immediately got up from the sofa and went to open the door.

There she saw Sun Yazhu greeting her with a smile, "Good morning, how about having breakfast together?"
