To be honest, Jiang Siming never expected his first business deal on the app to turn out like this.

Initially, everything was going smoothly, but then it suddenly fell apart.

And soon enough, for some unknown reason, a bunch of people started cursing him under his playmate listing and left a lot of negative reviews.

As a result, Jiang Siming's playmate job was over before it even started, and he was left completely baffled.

With the job ruined, Jiang Siming wasn't in the mood to play games anymore.

Feeling down, he was about to go to sleep when a phone call interrupted him.

Upon answering, he immediately recognized the voice of the client who had booked him.

"I've already refunded your money, why won't you let it go?" Jiang Siming was also upset.

Anyone in his situation would find it hard not to be angry.

Previously, because she was a client, Jiang Siming had been accommodating, not wanting to ruin his job.

Even though it was only twenty yuan an hour, Jiang Siming was the kind of person who, once he chose a path, would follow it seriously.

But with the job already ruined, Jiang Siming no longer needed to treat her as a client.

"...I'm sorry... I really didn't mean to... I'll compensate you however much you want, okay..."

Tuan Tuan's voice was no longer lively but timid and cautious, yearning for forgiveness.

"Do you think I'm just after money? That money can buy everything?"

"No, no... I really didn't expect it to have such serious consequences for you. Let me explain, I'm a streamer, and here's what happened today..."

Tuan Tuan explained the whole story to Jiang Siming, including her true thoughts at the time.

She admitted that she had acted out of spite because she suspected Jiang Siming of cheating.

Only then did Jiang Siming understand the situation, realizing it wasn't entirely her fault.

"Even though it was my fans who ruined your job, I bear an unshirkable responsibility. Don't worry, I'll do my best to make it up to you."

"Forget it, I'll just consider myself unlucky. After all, I only took one order from you, so it's not a big loss."

Jiang Siming didn't want to pursue it further; at its core, it was a misunderstanding.

It wasn't her who ruined his job, but impulsive netizens led by malicious intent, and there was no way to hold them accountable.

He wasn't about to go to her livestream and spray insults at her fans one by one; Jiang Siming wasn't that petty.

"No, I must make it up to you. Brother Ming, I've already explained the situation to customer service Fairy, and she's contacting the higher-ups to unban your account. Once it's unbanned, I'll mobilize all my fans to help improve your reputation and reviews!"

"Additionally, I've prepared a compensation of 200,000 yuan, and..."

Before Tuan Tuan could finish, Jiang Siming quickly interrupted her.

"Hey, stop right there. Forget about the money. A righteous man doesn't drink from a stolen spring, and a virtuous man doesn't accept charity. If you mention compensation again, I'll hang up."

Jiang Siming said seriously. Though he was poor, he had his pride.

Even without the fragments, he wouldn't accept such money, even if it was considered compensation.

His playmate job hadn't cost him a penny, and it was his first order, yet accepting 200,000 yuan in compensation was too outrageous.

At the same time, he envied how quickly streamers could earn money; the generosity was simply astonishing.

"Well... alright then... I won't mention it. How about I book you for a whole year instead?"

Jiang Siming rolled his eyes and retorted, "A year's booking? Are you planning to keep me?"

On the other end, Tuan Tuan blushed; it did feel a bit like keeping someone...

"Alright, alright, apart from booking me normally, I won't accept anything beyond a day. Don't try to negotiate with me, or there's nothing to discuss." Jiang Siming laid down the ultimatum.

A playmate client arguing with a customer, refusing orders even when others wanted to book him, was unique to Jiang Siming.

With no room for negotiation, Tuan Tuan had to agree.

Having received Jiang Siming's forgiveness, Tuan Tuan was in high spirits, happier than ever.

"Brother Ming, does this mean we're friends now?" Tuan Tuan asked, hopeful yet worried about being rejected.

"If you, a big streamer, don't mind a small fry like me, then of course we're friends," Jiang Siming replied openly.

Even happier, Tuan Tuan covered her phone's microphone, feeling like she was about to burst with joy, her long legs kicking wildly under the table.

Her grandmother, passing by her room, was bewildered by the sight of her granddaughter.

"Then... Brother Ming, can we exchange WeChat?"

"Sure."

Not long after exchanging WeChat, Tuan Tuan received a message from her bestie saying Jiang Siming's account on the app had been unbanned.

"Brother Ming, your account's unbanned! I won't keep you, I'm going to place an order so we can play games together again!"

With that, Tuan Tuan eagerly hung up and opened the app to find Jiang Siming's account.

Unexpectedly, not only was Jiang Siming's account unbanned, but it was also marked as a gold-level playmate, with the price raised to 300 yuan an hour!

Moreover, the account was featured on the first day's hot recommendations, and clicking in would immediately show Jiang Siming's playmate account, which was also compensation from the app platform.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Not only that, but Jiang Siming's account rating was restored to 10, filled with positive reviews.

This made Tuan Tuan genuinely happy for Jiang Siming, and she hurried to place an order, planning to immediately share the good news with him.

But when she tried to place an order, she was dumbfounded.

Jiang Siming's orders had already been pre-booked by someone else.

And booked for a whole month.

At 300 yuan an hour, even if he only played for five hours a day, it would amount to nearly 50,000 yuan a month!

"Who is this 'I'm Not a Pair of A's'? How could they do this, booking a whole month at once? What am I supposed to do~"

Tuan Tuan felt like crying again.

She clicked on the 'I'm Not a Pair of A's' account, hoping to negotiate with the person.

To see if they could cancel the order, she was willing to pay the full amount, even double or triple.

But to her dismay, the person had set up a do-not-disturb, and she couldn't contact them.

Accidentally clicking on the positive reviews, Tuan Tuan was surprised to find they weren't from her fans.

Although some of her fans had left reviews, she hadn't notified them yet, so there weren't many.

Most of the positive reviewers had one thing in common...

"The Old Hag Fan Club is here! We're here to propose!"

"Ming, please accept the Old Hag; she's been lovesick over you!"

"Following 'A Pair of A's' call, we're here to support Ming. Ming's skills are definitely not cheats!"

"Ming, don't worry, the Old Hag Fan Club will always stand by you!"

"The Old Hag said to clear your name, so here we are!"

...

Seeing these comments, Tuan Tuan realized it was the fans of fellow platform streamer SillyGirl.
