Sorry for only posting one chapter today because I got back very late. There will be something coming up, though… 😉

If the “Happy Guo Guo” team earned money, maybe Wang Sheng wouldn’t have chosen to leave; however, anyone would start getting dissatisfied if they had to do long-termed voluntary work with absolutely no payment.

Besides, on Thursday, when Liu Man performed, Wang Sheng chose to side with Fang Hao. He had offended the rest of the four members of the team and Hanfu Goddess, so was there even a reason for him not to leave?

Sun Weiwei said on WeChat: “In the filming of short videos, although the two parts of filming and editing are done behind-the-scenes, they are indeed two important jobs that need skills and deep knowledge. Without these two roles, we won’t be able to create new videos in the future.”

Liu Man typed, “You can find others to replace them.”

“Do you think it’s very easy to find a new and fitting member? Firstly, they must have great techniques for filming and computer science. They must be good at teamwork and can’t have too many stubborn opinions, or else they won’t listen to directions. Many people are only enthusiastic for a few days, and after they realize they did lots of work without receiving any payments in return, they wouldn’t be able to persevere and would quit. Then why are we even finding them in the first place?”

Seeing Sun Weiwei’s message, Liu Man suddenly thought of two people, “Jiang Chengfeng is also in the computer science major. You guys can find him to replace Fang Hao.”

Sun Weiwei did consider Jiang Chengfeng. According to what she knew, Jiang Chengfeng was top ten in his grade in computer science major, and he was way better than Fang Hao no matter in grades or techniques. However, He Qisi thought Jiang Chengfeng didn’t have much social intelligence and wasn’t able to communicate as well as Fang Hao could, so he didn’t want Jiang Chengfeng to join.

But if Liu Man went to talk to He Qisi, maybe He Qisi would choose to put down his prejudice and agree with Jiang Chengfeng joining.

“Even if we have Jiang Chengfeng as a member, there are many students in the school who like filming, but there isn’t a second one who, like Wang Sheng, can be a professional photographer. Besides, that camera belongs to Wang Sheng. It’s too expensive, and we will never be able to afford it. We don’t have a camera, so are we going to film with a phone?”

“I know a girl. She knows how to film and knows how to edit. She probably has a camera, too. That performance video I sent on my Wei Bo is by her.”

Sun Weiwei watched that video before and had a deep impression of it. Under such a noisy environment, the camera wasn’t shaky at all, and the videographer switched between faraway scenes and closeups. The viewers would not feel bored at all. The color distinctions were also edited to become very beautiful; it could be told that this was a very experienced videographer. Sun Weiwei thought Liu Man paid for such a professional videographer.

“Is she also from Capital University?”

“No. She’s from Jinghua University.”

Sun Weiwei felt surprised. Liu Man knew someone from Jinghua University? When had her social web become this broad?

“I’ll first ask her whether she wants to join or not.”

Liu Man found Peach is a fairy’s WeChat.

“Sis Peach, I need to ask for your opinion on something.”

Peach seemed to be on her phone all the time since she replied to Liu man every time within half a second.

“What is it?”

Peach had told Liu Man before that she was now a senior, meaning she was going to graduate in just two months. Liu Man didn’t know whether she wanted to find a job, study as an undergraduate, or study abroad.

“I recall you saying you want to be a director.”

“Yeah. Unfortunately, my family doesn’t accept it and want me to learn finance. It’s so boring.”

“Are you willing to get a part-time job at ‘Happy Guo Guo?’ You will only have to work half a day on the weekends each week.”

“Of course, of course!” Peach sent an excited emoji, “I love the creativity of ‘Shi-Senpai’ so much, hahaha. I’ve never thought about working with their team!”

Thinking about the real reason why Wang Sheng and Fang Hao left, Liu Man typed,

“There will be no payment for this job.”

She didn’t expect Peach to say so boldly,

“It’s not a problem. I don’t need money!”

When she met Otaku Boy, Jiang Chengfeng had already surprised Liu Man. This time, when she saw Peach in person, Liu Man was surprised once again.

Liu Man completely didn’t foresee that Peach is a fairy would really be a fairy — She was a Bai Fu Mei.

TL’s Note: Bai Fu Mei describes someone pretty, rich, and makes people envious.

Her tall and lean stature, her beautiful face, and her luxurious clothes from famous brands made Liu Man connect her to Quan Jing Hotel’s boss, Cheng Sheng, at first glance. Liu Man’s guts told her that Peach was the same type of person as Cheng Sheng.

Sun Weiwei was breathless.

“My God, her bag seems to be a Hermes… It would cost a few hundred thousands RMB…”

No wonder Peach was so generous when she spammed gifts, and she was the third one on the gifts leaderboard below “I’m a vet” and “Quick! Call me bro” among Princess Man’s fans.

Noticing how the two goddesses were staring at her bag, Peach showed a smile,

“Man, this is our first time meeting each other. I’m Peach, and my real name is Tao Zhiyao. It’s very nice meeting you and your friend.”

In live-streams, Peach is a fairy who always used internet language and phrases, and she was always humorous. But Tao Zhiyao herself was dignified and polite, and she was completely different from how she seemed online.

Jiang Chengfeng was, too.

Liu Man could not understand why some people were so different in reality than themselves online. But she seemed to be the same person both online and in real life. Yu Zhan was not so different online and in reality, either.

Tao Zhiyao realized this, too. She couldn’t help but keep on examining Liu Man, chuckling.

“Hello, Sis Peach. We are very familiar with each other online, so I won’t introduce myself,” Liu Man gently patted Sun Weiwei’s shoulder and introduced Tao Zhiyao to her, “She’s my friend, Sun Weiwei. She’s a Sophomore law major in Capital University, and she’s also the director and writer for ‘Happy Guo Guo.’”

“You are awesome! I’m always very impressed by ‘Happy Guo Guo’’s director, for there are lots of funny ideas in the video that most people have never thought of. You must be very smart,” Tao Zhiyao generously complimented Sun Weiwei.

Sun Weiwei smiled, shy, “You are a student from Jinghua University; you must be much smarter than me.”

“How could that be? Capital University is no different from Jinghua, okay? After fighting for so many years, we still can’t tell which university is better.”

“Stop fighting; you both are straight-A students,” Liu Man interrupted the two, who were planning on deciding who had a lower IQ.

Tao Zhiyao and Sun Weiwei both started laughing,

“Man is feeling unbalanced inside,” Tao Zhiyao couldn’t resist but reached out to rub Liu Man’s face. She had wanted to do this since a long time ago! Liu Man’s face was blushing from this.

Liu Man felt helpless; she got taken advantage of by a girl.

“Although you aren’t smarter than either of us, you do have a pretty face. You also know how to write calligraphy, how to play the Guqin, and how to play the piano,” Tao Zhiyao counted with her fingers.

“Aiya, screw it. Can you stop being so outstanding!” This explanation completely revealed Tao Zhiyao’s tough character inside.

Tao Zhiyao decided to stop acting all at once. She crossed her legs and sipped her coffee.

“To be honest, pretending to be ladylike is very tiring.”

Sun Weiwei’s jaw dropped open. This scene changed way too quickly!
