Your Mother's Best Friend Chapter 9

After fooling around for a while, Stephen Su returned to the room to continue the unfinished work.

Chloe Shen leaned against the door, curiously watching Stephen Su sitting in front of the computer, staring at the densely packed text on the screen with a focused expression.

It is said that men look the most handsome when they are working hard. Chloe Shen had to admit that there was some truth to this. She actually had the illusion that Stephen Su looked pretty good for a moment...

That's right, it's an illusion.

Chloe Shen didn't think she would be attracted by this stinky man with such a foul mouth.

Perhaps thinking there was no problem with the copy, Stephen Su opened PR (video editing software) and imported the animation video to see if there were any useful clips.

"What kind of work are you doing?" Chloe Shen didn't quite understand.

"Up master..." Stephen Su replied casually, but soon realized that Chloe Shen didn't understand, so he thought about it and changed the wording, "Does the video blogger know?"

Chloe Shen shook his head, still not understanding.

"I make the video myself and upload it to the video platform. When the audience on the platform watches my video, the number of views will increase. When the number of views increases, I can make money." Stephen Su tried to explain it as simply and understandably as possible.

Chloe Shen was confused by what he heard.

"In fact, it's just like making a movie. The director makes a good movie and puts it in major theaters. Audiences have to buy tickets if they want to watch it. The more tickets sold, the more money you make. Making videos for me is equivalent to making movies. The video platform is the cinema, and the number of views is the box office." Stephen Su said as he thought.

The example of the cinema was easy to understand, and Chloe Shen quickly got the general idea. After all, she just didn't understand it, not that she was stupid.

"Is this profitable?" Chloe Shen asked.

Stephen Su waved to her and Chloe Shen walked over.

Stephen Su switched the interface to the web page and pointed to his previous video that had been viewed over 600,000 times: "This video can earn a few hundred yuan from the views, but unfortunately the revenue from the views has been cut by nearly 70% to 80% by the website. Otherwise, it would have earned at least a few thousand yuan in the past."

Chloe Shen was stunned. Is this thing so profitable?

She had worked hard to earn money for several semesters and had only saved more than a thousand yuan.

"However, for up-loaders, the revenue from playback is not the most important, advertising revenue is the biggest part. Just like a star, if you make good videos, you will have fans, and the more fans you have, the more sponsors will come to you to promote their products.

For an up master like me with more than 400,000 followers, the price for an advertisement can range from several thousand to tens of thousands. "

When Chloe Shen heard Stephen Su talking about incomes of thousands or tens of thousands, her expression became a little numb. Is it so easy to make money these days?

Money in a sack?

Stephen Su was quite excited when he was bragging, especially when he saw Chloe Shen's stunned look, he felt refreshed.

Although the income sounds high, Stephen Su himself still has some AC numbers. Advertising income is always unstable. Sometimes it is not enough to make a living in a month. It is mainly generated by love.

"Can I do this job?" Chloe Shen was a little tempted.

She felt that if she did this, she could probably earn enough money to buy a mobile phone in a few days.

"Uh..." Stephen Su was at a loss for words, "What can you do?"

"Look at this woman, she dances so badly but there are so many people watching her. I can do it too."

Chloe Shen pointed to a dance video on the screen that Stephen Su had just clicked on. In it, a beautiful girl in a black silk maid outfit was dancing to the Pure Land of Bliss...

Stephen Su looked at her critically for a while, then said expressionlessly, "She has both good looks and legs."

"I have one too!" Chloe Shen was dissatisfied.

In terms of appearance alone, Stephen Su had to admit that even without makeup, Chloe Shen could beat the maid in black stockings with the beauty filter turned up to the maximum in the video.

But...

Stephen Su glanced at Chloe Shen's smooth face...

"She's older than you."

Chloe Shen didn't react for a moment, thinking that he was talking about age, and was stunned for a moment. Then she keenly caught Stephen Su's eyes lingering on her intentionally or unintentionally, and quickly realized what was going on.

"I have it too!" Chloe Shen became angry and puffed out her chest.

Stephen Su:

"I'll give you an expression so you can figure it out yourself."

Chloe Shen: "???"

...

After a while, Stephen Su touched the bump on his head and felt a little emotional.

These days, you can't just speak the truth.

Seeing Chloe Shen's unhappy expression, Stephen Su thought for a moment: "It's not that I don't allow you to make money, the key is that you have no identity in this era, you are an illegal immigrant, and even if you make money, you can't withdraw it.

Bank cards, mobile phone numbers, mobile payments, food, clothing, housing, transportation... everything in this era requires an ID card to enjoy.

So even if you buy a mobile phone, you can only surf the Internet and enjoy some services that do not require real-name authentication, which is probably only slightly better than a firewood stick.

"Can't I use yours?" Chloe Shen pouted, always feeling that this era was so troublesome.

"Well... it's not impossible, but..." Stephen Su paused and looked at her, "You have been here for almost a whole day now."

Chloe Shen was stunned.

"You should realize that my guess yesterday will come true soon. If you really want to continue living in this era, you can't escape the issue of identity."

Chloe Shen was silent. She knew that what Stephen Su said made sense.

Seeing that Chloe Shen didn't move, Stephen Su continued, "Besides, I will get married in the future and have a new family. I can't support you forever. After all, you are not my wife."

Chloe Shen: "???"

What does this mean?

"Well...I mean I will help you." Stephen Su coughed dryly. He realized that what he just said sounded easy to be misunderstood, so he explained.

"Why do you want to help me?" Chloe Shen asked.

"After all, if you stay at my house every day, my future wife will beat me." Stephen Su said seriously.

...

...

In the evening, Chloe Shen finally went back.

Although she had stayed with Stephen Su for a whole day, when she returned, Chloe Shen was somewhat surprised to find that only five minutes had passed here.

My roommate hasn't come back yet, but the braised chicken and rice on my table is still hot.

It just so happened that they hadn't even had dinner there yet. Chloe Shen knew that she would have to go there again soon, so she hurried to eat.

I bought this dinner yesterday, but it still tastes delicious even after a day.

After dinner, Chloe Shen began to worry. She wanted to bring some spare clothes with her because she would conservatively estimate that she would have to stay for at least two or three days next time.

She wanted to put them in the suitcase, but she felt that the suitcase was too big and she would not be able to carry it with her. Otherwise, the chair and table she had sat on and used when she had passed through there before would probably not be spared.

Small items like burgers and money seem to be no problem.

How about trying to wear them all? Maybe that's a feasible solution.

Half an hour later, Chloe Shen's roommates returned to the dormitory one after another.

Then I saw Chloe Shen lying on the bed like a wrapped dumpling.
