One Month of Booking

To be honest, Jiang Siming never expected his first companionship business to turn out like this.

It was going smoothly at first, but suddenly it went downhill.

And soon, for some unknown reason, a bunch of people started cursing and leaving negative reviews under his gaming service order.

As a result, Jiang Siming's gaming service was canceled before it even began, leaving him completely puzzled.

With his work ruined, Jiang Siming lost interest in playing games.

Feeling a bit upset, he was about to go to bed when a phone call interrupted him.

Upon answering, he immediately recognized the caller as the client he had accepted an order from.

"I've already refunded your money. Why can't you just let it go?" Jiang Siming was also irritated.

Anyone would find it hard not to get upset in such a situation.

Previously, since she was a customer, Jiang Siming had been accommodating, not wanting his work to be disrupted.

Even though it was only twenty credits per hour, Jiang Siming was the kind of person who took his chosen path seriously and was determined to tread it conscientiously.

But now that his work had been ruined, Jiang Siming no longer needed to treat her as a client.

"...I'm sorry... I really didn't mean to... How much do you want? I'll compensate you, alright?"

Tuantuan's voice, no longer serene, sounded timid and pleading for forgiveness.

"Do you think I'm all about money? Do you think having money means you can buy anything?"

"No, no... I really didn't expect to cause such serious consequences for you. Listen to my explanation, I'm a streamer, and here's what happened today..."

Tuantuan explained the whole incident to Jiang Siming, including her genuine thoughts at the time.

She admitted that she acted out of anger because she did suspect Jiang Siming of using cheats.

Only then did Jiang Siming understand the whole story. It seemed it wasn't entirely her fault.

"Although it was my fans who ruined your work, I have an undeniable responsibility. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to make it up to you."

"Forget it, let's just say I'm unlucky. After all, I only took one order from you, so I'm not at a loss."

Jiang Siming didn't want to pursue the matter further; ultimately, it was a misunderstanding.

It wasn't her who sabotaged his work; it was those internet users who were influenced impulsively by malicious intentions. There was no way to hold them accountable.

Should he go to her livestream and confront every one of her fans? Jiang Siming wasn't that petty.

"No, I must make amends. Little Ming, I've explained the situation to the customer service, and they're in contact with the higher-ups to lift the ban on your account. Once it's resolved, I'll mobilize all my fans to help boost your reputation and reviews!"

"Also, I've prepared a compensation of two hundred thousand, and..."

Tuantuan hadn't finished speaking when Jiang Siming quickly interrupted her.

"Hey, stop right there. I won't accept money. A person of integrity doesn't drink from a thief's well or take pity upon someone's stolen food. If you mention this kind of reward again, I'll hang up."

Jiang Siming was very serious; despite being poor, he had principles.

Even without this "shattered fragments" thing, he wouldn't accept such money, even though it could be considered compensation for him.

"Yet his gaming service didn't cost him a penny. For his first order, he received a compensation of two hundred thousand credits. This is beyond belief."

At the same time, he was somewhat envious of how quickly streamers make money. Looking at the lavishness of it all, it's like being a real tycoon.

"Well... fine... I won't say more. How about I book your services for a year?"

Rolling his eyes, Jiang Siming teased, "Booking for a year? Are you planning to sponsor me?"

Tuantuan blushed at the other end of the phone; it did feel a bit like sponsoring someone...

"Okay, okay. Besides normal orders, I won't take any longer ones than a day. Don't try to bargain with me; otherwise, there's no deal." Jiang Siming laid down his terms.

Going against the grain by arguing with the gaming service customer, he stood firm on his conditions.

There was no room for resistance or haggling from Tuantuan, who could only agree.

Feeling relieved that Jiang Siming forgave her, Tuantuan was in high spirits, happier than ever before.

"Little Ming, does this mean we're friends now?" Tuantuan asked, both expectant and afraid of a rejection.

"If this big-shot streamer doesn't mind this small fry, then of course, we're friends," Jiang Siming answered openly.

Tuantuan, even more delighted, covered the phone receiver, feeling ecstatic, her long legs kicking wildly under the table.

Her grandmother, returning from a stroll, was baffled by what she saw in her granddaughter's room...

"Uh... Little Ming, can we exchange WeChat IDs?"

"Sure."

Just after exchanging WeChat, Tuantuan received a message from her friend saying that Jiang Siming's account on the gaming platform was unbanned.

"Little Ming, your account is unbanned! I won't tell you more. I'll place an order. Let's play games together again!"

After saying this, an eager Tuantuan hung up, opened the gaming platform to find Jiang Siming's profile.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Siming's account not only got unbanned but also got upgraded to a gold-tier gaming service, charging 300 credits per hour!

Moreover, his account was featured on the platform's hot recommendations, easily visible when someone accessed the gaming service. It was the platform's compensation to Jiang Siming.

Not just that, Jiang Siming's account rating went back to a perfect 10, with numerous positive reviews flooding in.

This genuinely made Tuantuan happy for Jiang Siming. She planned to place an order immediately and inform him about this good news.

However, when she went to place the order, she was stunned.

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

And they booked it for an entire month.

At 300 credits per hour, even if he played for just five hours a day, that's nearly 50,000 credits for a month!

"Who is this 'I'm Not to A' person? How could they book a whole month in one go? What am I supposed to do now?" Tuantuan felt at a loss and on the verge of tears once again.

Opening the account of "I'm Not to A," Tuantuan hoped to negotiate with the user.

She wanted to see if the order could be canceled. She was willing to compensate the user in full, even double or triple the amount.

However, to her dismay, the user had set up a "Do Not Disturb" mode, making it impossible for her to contact them.

Casually clicking on the positive reviews, Tuantuan was surprised to find out that they weren't from her own fans.

While she did have some fans, she hadn't informed them yet, so there weren't many people coming to leave positive reviews and apologize.

Most of the individuals leaving positive reviews had one thing in common...

"The Old Woman Fan Club is here! Special visit for a marriage proposal!"

"Ming, please accept the old woman! She's got lovesickness just thinking about you!"

"Following the call of 'I'm Not to A,' I'm here to stand by Ming. Ming's skills cannot be fake!"

"Ming, the god, has been wronged. Don't be afraid; our Old Woman Fan Club will always support you!"

"The old woman said to help you clear your name, so here we are!"
