An Baobei contemplates working, while Grandpa Su Haoyu prefers her to remain home. Her father, Su Chengyu, discusses his own bar business, earning disapproval from his father. Su Chengyu also expresses frustration about finding a wife, and Baobei tries to steer the conversation back to her employment plans.

An Baobei expressed, "The primary concern is my uncertainty about my capabilities, which led me to consider an initial stint at our company to gauge my potential for learning and growth..."

Su Chengyu, midway through a captivating live stream on his mobile device, suddenly experienced a surge of inspiration, exclaiming with palpable excitement, "Baobei, I’ve figured out exactly what you can do!"

"Oh? And what is that?" An Baobei inquired immediately, her curiosity piqued.

Su Haoyu, too, found himself intrigued. Honestly, he hadn't the faintest notion of An Baobei's potential. She was not yet twenty, possessing limited real-world experience and an almost childlike innocence. He had genuinely believed it would be more fitting for An Baobei to embrace a leisurely existence, much like his own.

"You should establish an account on this live streaming platform and commence broadcasting! Is your calligraphy not exceptional? And your handwriting is truly exquisite. You could dedicate your streams to showcasing your calligraphy daily, complemented by your appealing appearance. I'll personally facilitate introductions within my social network, ensuring a substantial fan base develops!" Su Chengyu proposed enthusiastically.

Su Haoyu responded by lightly striking Su Chengyu's head, admonishing, "Cease leading Baobei astray!"

Su Chengyu cradled his head, retorting, "Who is leading Baobei astray? She would merely be practicing calligraphy in the comfort of her own room, without venturing out. With a flexible schedule, isn't that preferable to conventional employment?"

"But can one actually earn money through such an endeavor?" An Baobei's primary concern revolved around financial viability.

"If viewers choose to offer tips, then yes, you will have money!" After a brief pause, Su Chengyu added, "Rest assured. Your calligraphy is remarkably beautiful, and you possess an attractive countenance. Surely, numerous individuals will be moved to tip you! Furthermore, if other talents lie within your repertoire, that would be an even greater asset."

"Would artistic drawing qualify?" An Baobei ventured.

"What specific form of drawing are you referring to?"

"The kind that utilizes traditional brush and ink," she specified.

"Traditional Chinese painting!" Su Chengyu's eyes gleamed. "I had no inkling you possessed this skill as well! Baobei, you are truly a multifaceted gem! Are there any further abilities you possess?"

An Baobei pondered for a moment before replying, "I can play the guqin, engage in games of chess, and perform a sword dance..."

Before An Baobei could elaborate further, Su Chengyu and Su Haoyu exchanged a significant glance. Hadn't An Baobei been raised in an orphanage? The sheer breadth of her talents seemed extraordinary. Despite their lingering bewilderment, they embraced her as family and refrained from further inquiry.

Su Haoyu simply stated, "Given that it's home-based and the schedule offers flexibility, Baobei, by all means, give it a try. Should it not yield the desired results, alternative avenues can be explored."

An Baobei readily agreed with a delighted nod, "Very well."

Su Chengyu, filled with eagerness, urged, "Let's depart immediately. I shall accompany you to procure the necessary live streaming equipment. Ah, and Father, please instruct someone to prepare a dedicated room for Baobei's live broadcasts."

Precisely two hours later, Su Chengyu and An Baobei made their return. Beyond acquiring the essential live streaming apparatus, Su Chengyu had also procured a guqin, a prop sword, a writing desk, a Go board, along with the requisite brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone for An Baobei.

To enhance the traditional aesthetic, Su Chengyu had even commissioned several exquisite sets of ancient attire for An Baobei.

The prospect of openly adorning herself in costumes, even those subtly divergent from the styles familiar to her from her own world, brought An Baobei immense happiness.

The household's housekeeper had already meticulously arranged a room specifically designated for An Baobei's live streaming activities.

Pausing at the doorway and observing the equipment company diligently installing the live streaming setup within, Su Chengyu addressed An Baobei, "Baobei, should you find the environment here less than comfortable during your streams, please do not hesitate to inform us. The housekeeper can then arrange for an alternative location."

An Baobei offered a smile, responding, "I find this setting to be quite agreeable."

Su Chengyu expressed a hint of reservation, musing, "While wearing ancient costumes within this modern residence, perhaps while engaged in swordplay, chess, or piano performance, the overall effect might be perceived as lacking a certain traditional authenticity."
