Chapter 17

The Mastermind

Liao Ning didn’t know that the white cat was sizing her up. When she took the initiative to squat down and approach, she startled the white cat so much that it arched its back. However, when Liao Ning touched its back, a magical power attracted it and it approached again.

The caress felt too comfortable, so the white cat revealed its chin to Liao Ning.

“I’ll make you fish for lunch, so don’t eat too much for now, or you’ll get bloated,” Liao Ning said with a smile.

The white cat flipped over its belly fiercely, as if it was proudly showing that it wasn’t the kind of cat that could be appeased by small favors.

Liao Ning was so amused that she couldn’t help but send the fish in her hand to the white cat’s mouth, but it was immediately devoured by the white cat.

After eating its fill, the white cat lay at Liao Ning’s feet lazily and dozed off.

At this moment, photos of them spread on the interstellar network again.

My Child Is The Best: Everything is fine. The cat was successfully appeased. I’ve provided a video link and a high-definition photo.

[I can sense the happiness of the kitten through the screen.]

[I’m that cat.]

[Has anyone clicked on the link? I’ll want to see it again!]

[It’s so lucky to be your cat. The taste is so fresh.]

[I hope those people who scolded you will never be able to eat such delicious food. Let’s make them regret it!]

She couldn’t live-stream anymore, but the platform didn’t restrict commenting.

Other streamers usually explained why they were banned from live-streaming and used their fans to support them, but Liao Ning used her last comment to post about her daily life instead.

Seeing Liao Ning’s actions, the management personnel behind the scenes fell silent.

“How did it go?”

Zhu Fei’s assistant was standing beside him.

The person who helped him ban Liao Ning’s live-stream and investigate Liao Ning was Zhu Fei’s former classmate, Ping Ye.

“There’s nothing wrong with the person you reported,” Ping Ye said solemnly.

Liao Ning’s traffic was real, but some people seemed to have placed a bug in her live-stream.

Out of professional ethics, Ping Ye defended her impatiently. Other than that, he found nothing unusual.

The assistant didn’t believe him. “How is that possible? She’s just a newbie. How can she really have that much traffic?”

“Well, an official organization gave her a shout-out,” Ping Ye said.

The assistant gritted his teeth in hatred. The people from the Star Federation Research Institute had once asked Zhu Fei to endorse freshwater creatures. At that time, they had rejected them because the payment was too low.

Otherwise, Zhu Fei’s status would be unshakable!

However, the matter was already in the past, so there was no point in regretting it.

“Then can you think of a way to bring her down?” the assistant asked.

The embarrassment on Ping Ye’s face faded.

He leaned back in his office chair as he crossed his arms and looked at his assistant with condemnation. “This is what you wanted to see me about today?”

The assistant was baffled.

He didn’t know that Ping Ye had a mother who loved ancient food culture and cherished the preservation of ancient food.

Usually, Ping Ye treated him, a small assistant, with respect because his mother was Zhu Fei’s fan.

However, Zhu Fei didn’t like Ping Ye’s mother and Ping Ye had happened to hear him insulting his mother behind his back once.

He originally wanted to ignore Zhu Fei’s assistant, but when he heard that the matter had something to do with ancient delicacy, he decided to meet.

“We will definitely pay you,” the assistant explained.

“Are you trying to insult my professional ethics and bribe me?” After Ping Ye questioned him, the assistant tried to explain.

Ping Ye interrupted him and warned him, “I’ve already lifted the restriction on her account. This is non-negotiable.”

“But Zhu Fei…” Before the assistant could finish, he was interrupted by Ping Ye.

“Enough, go back now.” Ping Ye had already made up his mind and didn’t want to talk to his old classmate anymore.

The assistant was indignant, but Zhu Fei also worked on a live-stream platform managed by Ping Ye. If they angered him, they would suffer the consequences.

He had no choice but to leave.

After walking out of the door, the assistant flipped through the folder in his hand and his expression turned cold.

Seeing the assistant leave, Ping Ye heaved a sigh of relief.

After work, he took the spaceship back to visit his mother.

At this moment, in an aerial villa in the galactic capital.

A woman in a modified cheongsam was cooking in the kitchen while she was chatting and laughing with the housekeeping staff.

The scene was very harmonious.

After Ping Ye stepped through the door and saw this scene, his fatigue from work was swept away.

“Son, you’re back.” The old woman was overjoyed when she saw the person who came in.

She called her son over quickly to show off her new steamed fish. “You’re a professional, so come and help me see how different the two taste.”

Ping Ye picked up his chopsticks and picked up a small piece of fish. After tasting it, he was stunned.
