Chapter 261: Boring Short Videos Are Very Boring

"Let's choose Beijing as the city."

Chen Mo finally made his decision. It wasn't for anything else, but simply because the high rent in Beijing would allow him to consume more System Funds.

"I understand, Mr. Chen."

When Song Xia heard that Mr. Chen had directly selected the city, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been very worried about choosing the wrong city, but Mr. Chen had great foresight; choosing Beijing must have had its reasons.

After confirming everything, it was already past 12 o'clock.

Just then, the doorbell rang again. Chen Mo didn't even need to think to know it was Yang Duoduo bringing lunch.

Upon opening the door, he saw Yang Duoduo standing there carrying a small vegetable basket.

"Brother Chen, I've brought you lunch."

Yang Duoduo shouted happily while carrying the basket with both hands as she walked into the room. After entering, she didn't forget to change into her slippers.

Hmm!

There was a pair of slippers specifically prepared for her.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, reached out to take the basket from Yang Duoduo's hands, closed the door, and walked into the room.

"This is…"

Song Xia looked at the little girl who had just entered with a puzzled expression, wondering what her relationship with Chen Mo was.

"This is Yang Duoduo, Yang Dahai's daughter."

Chen Mo introduced her, then carried Yang Duoduo to a seat at the dining table.

"This is Sister Song Xia."

"Hello, Sister Song!"

Hearing Chen Mo's introduction, Yang Duoduo greeted her politely.

"Hello, Duo Duo!"

Song Xia also replied with a smile, looking at Yang Duoduo curiously. She hadn't expected Yang Dahai to have such a cute daughter.

Chen Mo glanced at the two of them, then looked at Song Xia.

"You haven't had lunch yet, right? Just eat here. Aunt Dong makes plenty of food."

As he said this, he didn't wait for Song Xia to respond and went to the kitchen to get some bowls and chopsticks.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

Song Xia took the bowls and chopsticks.

"My mom's cooking is very delicious."

Yang Duoduo said proudly from the side.

Chen Mo placed all the food Yang Duoduo had brought onto the dining table, and the three of them began to eat.

As for why Yang Duoduo didn't go back to eat…

Of course, it was because she wanted to play games and watch cartoons here after finishing her meal.

…

Linshui City, inside a residential building.

Yang Yaoyao had just finished tutoring the child in the house and was preparing to leave.

However, she was stopped by the child's mother, Huang Juan.

Huang Juan looked a bit apologetic.

"Yaoyao, during this holiday, the child's father and I arranged a transfer for the child to a boarding school. We probably won't need tutoring anymore."

"I'm really sorry. We agreed that you would tutor until the end of the third year of middle school."

"But you know, the third year of middle school is a very important stage. I heard that the teaching staff at that boarding school is excellent, and the rate of students entering key high schools every year is also very high."

"So, for the sake of the child's future, we had to do this. I hope you understand."

"Here is three thousand yuan. Take it; the extra portion is compensation for us breaking the contract."

Hearing Huang Juan's words, Yang Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

She looked at the money Huang Juan handed over, reached out to take it, counted it, and took out 1,100 to return it.

"Forget the compensation; I'll just take what I'm owed. It's a good thing the child is going to a good school."

"This…"

The child's mother took the money Yang Yaoyao returned and wanted to say something, but saw Yang Yaoyao saying goodbye and leaving.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Leaving the Complex, Yang Yaoyao looked at the bustling traffic ahead and let out a long sigh.

During the New Year, she hadn't stayed at home for a few days, all to tutor this family's child.

But she hadn't expected to encounter such a situation.

It seems she could only look for other children who needed tutoring.

She hailed a bus and went straight back to school.

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she saw that one of her roommates was already there.

This roommate was named Liu Weiwei, and like her, she was also working as a tutor.

She had returned after the New Year.

Currently, there were only the two of them in the dormitory.

"Didn't you go tutoring today?"

She remembered that her roommate should still be out tutoring at this time. Why was she back so early?

"I'm not tutoring for that family anymore."

Liu Weiwei waved her hand, looking disgusted.

"What happened?"

Looking at Liu Weiwei's expression, Yang Yaoyao knew something must have happened.

"Don't even mention it. The male host of that family is a pervert who actually tried to take advantage of me."

"Ah! He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

"No, he had the heart for it but lacked the guts. As soon as I said I'd call the police, he chickened out."

Liu Weiwei looked disdainful, but then felt a bit of lingering fear and looked up at Yang Yaoyao.

"I don't want to tutor anymore; it's too dangerous. This time I met a coward, but what if I run into someone driven by lust? I wouldn't even have a place to cry if I regretted it."

"I think you should be careful too."

Hearing Liu Weiwei's words, Yang Yaoyao gave a bitter smile.

"No need to be careful; that family of mine doesn't need tutoring anymore either."

Listening to her roommate's experience, she also felt a bit scared.

"What's wrong? Did you run into a pervert too?"

"That's not it."

Yang Yaoyao shook her head and recounted the whole story.

"I see. That family is really lacking in integrity. They agreed to tutor until the end of the third year of middle school, so why did they change their minds?"

"And you too, why did you return the money? If it were me, I would have just taken it."

Liu Weiwei said indignantly from the side, then started laughing.

"Putting it that way, we can be considered companions in misfortune."

"Yeah."

Yang Yaoyao sighed.

"So, are you planning to continue tutoring? What do you plan to do?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to talk about. I found a live streaming platform that is recruiting streamers, and the benefits are very good."

Liu Weiwei said mysteriously.

She had discovered this live streaming platform when she was bored and wanted to find a small game to pass the time on a software download platform.

Boring Short Videos.

It perfectly matched her mood at the time, so she curiously downloaded it to see how boring it could be.

After downloading, she saw that the live streaming content inside was indeed very boring.

There were streams of people cooking, teaching the law, showing the process of manufacturing clothes, and even teaching farming…

In short, this short video platform didn't have any attractive streamers; they were all uniformly educational.

Moreover, after scrolling for a long time, there were only about 10 streamers, and not many short videos; it was very boring.

Just as she was about to exit and uninstall it, she discovered a pop-up banner advertising the live streaming platform's recruitment for streamers.

She curiously clicked in to take a look and was surprised to find that the compensation for streamers was actually very good. Unlike other live streaming platforms where most income is based on a split, here, the base salary was 100 to 400 per hour.

This price wasn't divided based on popularity, but judged based on professional level, education, work experience, etc.
