"Sigh, I just saw in the comments that tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, and it suddenly reminded me of when I was little. My grandma worked at an orphanage, so whenever school was out and my homework was done, she'd take me there to help."
After saying that, Qiao Yinyin continued, "Because I grew up knowing how hard life is for kids in orphanages, I treasure everything I have. With so many people supporting me now, I'm truly happy and feel incredibly lucky. Just now, a thought suddenly struck me…"
She deliberately paused, then started scanning the bullet comments to gauge the reaction.
Seeing the flood of questions about what she planned to do, Qiao Yinyin went on.
"I want to give every single cent I earn from today's stream—after the platform takes its cut—all of it, no exceptions—to orphanages in Modu."
The instant those words left her mouth, the screen exploded with comments.
[All the tips?? Sister Qiao, are you serious?! Brother Long alone dropped almost three hundred thousand…]
[This level of generosity—I'm on my knees!] … [Where are the haters? Look! This is how you answer them—slap them in the face with charity!]
[Who was fussing about a ban just now? Look what Sister Qiao's doing!]
[Instant fan conversion! Beauty with a heart of gold!]
…Watching the tide turn, Qiao Yinyin added, "I'll have the donation notarized, and the funds will be transferred officially to the orphanages, ensuring complete transparency."
After that declaration, she segued as smoothly as a seasoned Host: "Why did we decide to make this brand of ham sausage? Because I believe in keeping things pure, so our products are made with zero additives…"
Weaving her brand philosophy into the topic, she then called out to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Long, what do you think of my proposal? I'm really grateful for your generous gift, but I'd love your opinion on this idea."
[Brother Long, say yes! This is good karma!]
[After watching streams for so long, this one's got real class.]
[Support! Beauty with a heart…]
[Finally found a gem like her online…]
…On the other end of the phone, Jiang Cheng looked into Qiao Yinyin's clever, twinkling eyes and instantly understood her intent.
He watched the radiant, composed Streamer thanking her audience, glanced at the barrage of gifts and praise, and felt his impression of her soar.
Her move to shift the spotlight was both smart and graceful.
In one stroke she redirected everyone's attention, defusing potential backlash.
What could have spiraled into controversy had been elevated into a heart-warming charity drive.
Her quick thinking and big-picture view caught Jiang Cheng by surprise—and earned his admiration.
He'd always thought of Qiao Yinyin as a pretty, hardworking streamer.
He hadn't expected her to stay so clear-headed and handle things so neatly when it mattered.
Last time, when she'd pitched her own ham-sausage brand, Jiang Cheng had already seen her business savvy; now this maneuver made him realize she was truly exceptional.
When they first met, he'd figured she was just an ambitious beauty.
After all, without ambition she wouldn't have hooked up with him after only a few days.
Though he'd never judged her for that, the more time they spent together, the more he saw she was not only ambitious but sharp and quick on her feet.
Right now, for instance, Bai Xiaoxiao beside him was still stuck at angry and worried, whereas Qiao Yinyin was already working out how to minimize fallout.
She could turn a crisis into a win and even boost her brand's image along the way.
The difference in capability was obvious at a glance.
Honestly, if she weren't an Internet Celebrity, she'd make a top-tier executive.
Jiang Cheng's lips curled in a smile as his fingers tapped the screen.
He typed a short line.
A bullet comment drifted past: "A worthy cause. Your earnings, your call."
After sending it, Jiang Cheng launched another gift storm.

…Dazzling effects swallowed the livestream, pushing the audience's excitement to a new peak.
By now it wasn't just Jiang Cheng; Stream Viewers were flinging gifts like crazy.
Free flowers and badges rained down, while high-value Super Rockets and Carnivals shot skyward, the notification banner "User XXX gifted Super Rocket x1" scrolling nonstop.
Viewers were moved by her charity pledge and transparent stance.
Comments about the "ban incident" vanished, replaced by shouts of "Paying for Sister Qiao's generosity"
and "Join Brother Long and Sister Qiao in spreading love." Online viewers surged from 130,000 to 180,000.
Seeing Jiang Cheng's reply and another shower of gifts, Qiao Yinyin felt a huge weight lift.
Her smile brightened: "Thank you, Brother Long! And thank you to everyone gifting—there are so many of you, I can't thank you all fast enough…"
As Jiang Cheng kept spamming the free Doubi he'd received, the system suddenly pinged.
"Detected: key figure 'Qiao Yinyin' favorability toward Host has reached 100%. Qiao Yinyin unlocks title [Devoted for Life]."
Once the title [Devoted for Life] is equipped, no matter what storms arise, Yu Xiaoxiao's loyalty to the Host will never waver. From this moment she will forever stay true and place the Host above all else.
Jiang Cheng blinked and froze his tipping spree.
Before, the only woman who'd hit 100% favorability was Yu Xiaoxiao.
Back then the system had rewarded him with a [Forgiveness Cap].
The cap could only be assigned to one person, so he'd never used it.
He wondered what reward he'd get this time.
He opened the reward; the system chimed.
"Ding—rewarding Host with passive skill: Business Insight."
Whenever you and a highly loyal business partner (or spouse) evaluate a decision or project, you'll intuitively perceive its future 'potential risks' and 'hidden opportunities.' Risks appear as a faint red aura, opportunities as a faint gold aura; the brighter the glow, the greater the importance.
