Half a month is enough time for a company to rise from the ground, from nothing to something.
Aisha Group's branch officially settled in Capital City.
These days, Alexander Skylane is extremely busy, so busy that he doesn't even have time to drink a sip of water. After finishing a meeting, he came out of the conference room, and it was already noon.
He went to the restroom to wash his face and unexpectedly heard the employees talking.
"This reality show is really interesting, Joseph Grant's meme has been buzzing in the group all morning."
"It was because I saw that meme that I curiously took a peek at the show. By the way, Quiana Sutton catching a snake with her bare hands, that's kinda cool."
Alexander Skylane had no interest in this, but upon hearing Quiana Sutton's name, he walked out of the restroom and asked, "What show are you talking about?"
The two people chatting nearly lost their wits upon seeing Alexander Skylane, cautiously calling out, "Young Master Skylane."
Alexander Skylane gestured with his hand, indicating they needn't be nervous: "What's the name of the show you're discussing?"
One of them glanced at Alexander Skylane, confirmed he wasn't actually angry, then spoke up: "The name of this show is 'Outdoor Survival Challenge.'
Back in the office, the chief secretary handed him a cup of coffee, along with a guest list:
"Young Master Skylane, this is the guest list for the banquet three days later, please have a look."
Alexander Skylane glanced at it, ensured there were no issues, and signed his name.
Before the secretary left, he suddenly spoke up:
"By the way, send me the live stream link for the 'Outdoor Survival Challenge.'
"Ah..."
The secretary doubted her ears.
Alexander Skylane repeated unhappily, "I said send me the live stream link."
Only then did the secretary realize she hadn't misheard, quickly found the link, and sent it to Alexander Skylane.
He kept wondering, not understanding why his boss, amid such busy affairs, suddenly wanted to watch a live stream.
He only dared grumble inwardly, not bring it up face to face.
Alexander Skylane opened the link, the first thing that popped out was the ranking of the six people. After a brief understanding of the rules, he found that Quiana Sutton was currently at the bottom.
Earlier, Quiana's barehanded snake catching had sparked a wave of discussion and gained some favor, with a portion of people sending her a lot of roses. Her fans also swarmed the live stream and sent some roses. Even so, her reward amount lagged significantly behind the second last.
How could his Quiana be at the bottom, so he decisively registered an account—S
Then tipped with 1,000 castles, this thousand castles took over the live stream's screen.
Quiana Sutton's name quickly rose to the top.
The audience was instantly shocked.
[Is this S crazy?]
[It must be a company plant, who'd spend ten million just to fan out?]
...
Alexander Skylane saw that not only was Quiana Sutton's name number one, but he was also at the top of the fan rankings, feeling completely satisfied instantly.
From the moment Quiana Sutton stepped into that forest, Grace Sutton hadn't taken her eyes off the screen, worried Quiana might make a mistake.
Previously, "someone" tipped Quiana 100,000, which was expected in her mind.
Even being in the last place, at least there were some true fans.
But now, someone directly dropped ten million, which was even more shocking than Quiana's barehanded snake catch. She felt her hand shaking as she held the phone.
Who on earth did her sweet Quiana manage to know without telling her?
While everyone was still digesting this, a person named F unloaded 3,000 castles, dominating the screen again.
[????]
[????]
Everyone was left with only a bunch of question marks at this moment.
If ten million was the company being a corporate plant, then who was this F?
People were skeptical that a company would be willing to spend so much money for Quiana.
Oliver Gale naturally noticed this lavish display from the two wealthy fans and remarked to Durrell Landon:
"Durrell, quite a few people really fancy Quiana."
Durrell Landon didn't speak, but the cold gaze conveyed a sense of apprehension, and he didn't hesitate to call Charles Foote:
"Knight, investigate two accounts for me."
After making the call, he also registered an account—L, and then tipped with 5,000 castles.
Topping the Quiana's fan rankings.
Oliver Gale raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing, just had a look of seeing through everything.
Ten million, thirty million, fifty million, now the audience wasn't interested in the six people being streamed anymore. They were curious about who these three wealthy fans were.
[How about the three of you form a Rich Trio?]
[Hahaha... I was thinking the same.]
...
The spending was so excessive that it caught the officials' attention. Concerned it might cause trouble, they closed the reward channel.
Grace Sutton stared, absorbed in thought, at these three rich fans.
The current person at the bottom is Ning Yang, whose fans are fuming but there's nothing they can do. Now that the official reward channel is closed, they have no way to increase the funds.
Meanwhile, Quiana Sutton had no idea what was happening in the live stream. She was focused on finding food and water hidden by the crew.
As overnight stay was needed, the crew also prepared tents, but they had to be found by themselves.
Charles Foote acted quickly and soon replied to Durrell Landon.
"Durrell, the S account belongs to Alexander Skylane, but the F account is an overseas account. Its IP address has been heavily encrypted, currently untraceable."
"Understood."
"Alexander Skylane..."
After hanging up, Durrell Landon softly called Alexander Skylane's name, his voice like thunder in spring, dangerous yet muffled.
Sitting beside him, Oliver Gale couldn't help but shiver, feeling suddenly that it might not be easy for Alexander Skylane in Capital City.
Durrell Landon looked at Quiana under the camera, his sensual lips curling into a perfect curve. His expression seemed nonchalant, yet carried a hint of deadly danger, like a poisonous flow.
"Quiana..."
He whispered Quiana's name again, knowing that things wouldn't end easily between them.
Divorce or not, only he had the say.
For this life, she could only be his.
The confusion of the past few days suddenly vanished, his dark pupils sparkling with a bewitching light, like the eye of a storm.
Sitting in the storm's orbit, Oliver Gale watched him silently, his lips curling into a knowing smile...
Alexander Skylane thought he'd be the first on Quiana's fan list, only to be taken over by two others.
His heart was filled with great displeasure.
Who on earth are these F and L?
Intuition told him these two were intricately connected to Quiana, wondering if he had missed something.
