Flattering Zhao Youyue

The winter holidays had ended.

Zhao Youyue had gained a big reward during her winter holidays, which was getting closer to her cousins Zhao Hao and Zhang Wanjun. The red packets given by these two cousins were pretty decent since one of them was not short of money while the other one was a famous uploader in Bilibili, the advertisement fees could already support her, hence they would not be stingy on Zhao Youyue.

This was also because Zhao Youyue had shown them something impressive, thus they had acknowledged her.

For instance, she became “Yu Shengfan” in the cyber cafe and saved Zhao Hao from embarrassment, which satisfied this young master of Zhao family who was a braggart. He acknowledged Zhao Youyue as part of the Zhao family, unlike how he used to ignore this little cousin who had no sense of presence.

How did one have no sense of presence at all?

Probably because she was too mediocre, nothing special or different from the crowd. However, Zhao Youyue had shown her the gaming skills which totally made the game-loving Zhao Hao remembered her.

How proud could he be for having such sister?

Even though Zhao Youyue did not join Zhao Hao Esports’ team, but she promised him that she would play with him during her leisure time, so that he could show offDid you see that? This is my little sister! Her champion Yasuo was great right? Definitely awesome!

Some words may sound unpleasant to ears but they are indeed reasonable. For instance, there is no equality among people, as to be acknowledged by others, you have to first prove your worthiness. If you are only a mediocre person, will they ever distinguish you?

Formerly, Zhao Hao had found Zhao Youyue pleasing to the eye. She felt this little cousin looked average besides having an alluring voice and a gentle personality. But with these few traits, he would not remember her for long.

Even though they gathered once every Chinese New Year, he had not got any closer to Zhao Youyue because they rarely interacted.

Having displayed her extreme gaming skills, Zhao Youyue deeply impressed Zhao Hao. He then started taking initiative to get closer to Zhao Youyue. He felt she was indeed skillful and worthy of a close relationship.

Even though Zhao Hao was always mediocre in doing things, he was good at judging people. People whom he got to know were those being useful to him. He even discriminated people who were not in the Zhao family, unless they possessed some extraordinary ability.

He had his unique way of managing and recruiting people. He was able to do it without a mentor, so his investment company was in even keel, and his father and Grandpa Zhao were assured of his abilities.

Hence, his absurd style of living and his extravagance in spending money had been tolerated by them. Since he was able to use his ability to recruit people with skills, and they were helping him to earn money, it was already more than enough. Eventually when he became more mature, although he might not be able to expand the Zhao family, he can at least still maintain their reputation.

Right now, Zhao Hao realized that Zhao Youyue was not as simple as she looked. He thus took the initiative to flatter Zhao Youyue just as how he got connected to those people who had talents. He even tapped his chest and told Zhao Youyue that he would buy anything she wanted upon her request.

When Zhao Hao first knew that Zhang Wanjun was a famous uploader in Bilibili, he tried to ingratiate himself with her too, despite knowing nothing about the kichiku [1] videos that she created. He discerned that over a million followers on her Weibo were true fans, not zombie fans, unlike him who had over three million Weibo followers but only a few hundred thousand true fans. The rest of them were some fake fans bought by him with money.

Zhao Hao knew his cousin, Zhang Wanjun was talented, so he hoped to bring her alongside him and utilized her. Though she did not carry the surname of “Zhao”, but her mother was his dad’s sister, and her father was the mayor of the city. Of course, he should get on the good side of this noble-family daughter.
