An Baobei successfully completed her first live stream, gaining millions of followers overnight due to substantial rewards and her own charm. Her family celebrated her newfound fame and her enjoyment of the activity, with a celebratory cake.

"Mhm mhm." An Baobei, with a cheerful demeanor, descended the stairs alongside An Jing and the others to partake in the cake-cutting ceremony.

Su Changyi and Su Chengyu possessed a rather subdued palate for sweets, thus they sampled only a modest portion of the cake. In contrast, An Jing, An Baobei, and Su Haoyu harbored a profound fondness for sugary delights, enthusiastically indulging in their treat.

Observing An Baobei's evident enjoyment of the cake, Su Chengyu humorously interjected, "Baobei, you ought to be mindful of your figure; should you overindulge and gain weight, it could potentially tarnish your public image, leading to a drastic decline in your follower count."

An Baobei continued her consumption with an air of carefree indifference, replying, "Regardless of how much I consume, I shall not gain weight; my physique is simply predisposed this way."

Su Chengyu erupted in laughter, exclaiming, "Another member of the 'can't gain weight' club. Haha."

Su Changyi noted that Su Haoyu had already consumed a slice of cake, prompting him to gently halt his further indulgence. He was concerned that Su Haoyu might suffer an upset stomach, given the substantial meal he had already partaken in during dinner. Seizing the moment while Su Changyi was occupied, Su Haoyu discreetly secured another small piece of cake, finally feeling content and no longer harboring envy for the remaining cake on display.

An Jing, who also possessed the ability to not gain weight, happily continued her sweet indulgence alongside An Baobei.

Amidst her eating, An Jing chuckled and remarked, "Baobei, your second uncle has truly bestowed great honor upon you today by inviting such a multitude of friends to show their support."

An Baobei, still joyfully eating, mumbled in response, "The reward money was simply far too excessive."

"Where is it excessive? Had you not instructed me to exercise restraint, I would have prepared a sum of one million for you on the spot. Your father entrusted me with fifty million to establish the pub previously. I managed it independently, and naturally, that fifty million became my personal fund," Su Chengyu declared with unabashed bravado.

Su Changyi was accustomed to his brother's antics. After all, he was the moneymaker, and as long as his sibling refrained from causing trouble, the family's finances were generally at his brother's disposal.

"Furthermore," Su Chengyu continued, "this marks your inaugural live stream; it must be conducted with grandeur, mustn't it? It is absolutely perfect as it is. I have definitively decreed that the foremost sponsor in your live stream shall perpetually be me. Should it not be me, I shall continuously replenish my contributions to ensure I maintain the number one position."

An Jing giggled, commenting, "You have already expended five million; who could possibly surpass such a contribution?"

Su Chengyu replied, "There remains a possibility that a truly devoted fan might exceed my offering, but my intention is to secure that apex position. Baobei is one of our own, and the premier sponsor must be a member of our family to solidify our standing."

An Baobei expressed a lack of concern, stating, "Instead of bestowing rewards upon me, why not simply transfer the funds directly? It would circumvent the complexities of online transactions."

"That would lack any sense of grandeur; is it not splendid now? You are so radiant," Su Chengyu retorted with evident amusement. "In the future, when I boast of my niece, it will bring immense pride to me as well."

Su Haoyu scoffed, "You are solely concerned with outward appearances."

Su Chengyu promptly countered, "Father, do you not aspire for greater prestige?"

"What purpose does it serve? I do not conduct myself in your manner; merely having your brother is sufficient prestige for me. None would dare show disrespect. However, you, when will you accomplish something that permits me to partake in some measure of pride?"

"Is my pub not flourishing? I have established numerous branches already, and the business is thriving. I have not brought dishonor upon you or brother, so why do you hold me in contempt?"

"The true reason for my disdain is the strong possibility that you will remain a bachelor indefinitely."

"It is always this same topic..." Su Chengyu felt utterly speechless.

"Yet you persist in asking!" Su Haoyu retorted with clear irritation.
