Chapter 46: A Mysterious Guest Suddenly Appears in the Live Broadcast Room

As the nanny van slowly came to a stop in front of the warehouse door, the rear door opened. Under the watchful eyes of Wang Yang and Jiang Liangliang, Zhai Lin, dressed casually and wearing sunglasses and a mask, stepped out of the vehicle, followed by Sister Li, who was dressed professionally.

“Hello, Mr. Wang Yang. I’m Wang Li. You can call me Sister Li or just Wang Li,” Sister Li said with a smile as she extended her hand to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang smiled back warmly. “Hello, Sister Li.”

“Are you… Zhai Lin?” Jiang Liangliang asked hesitantly, her lips curving into a smile she tried to suppress as she stared at Zhai Lin.

Zhai Lin glanced at Sister Li for permission. After receiving a nod, he removed his sunglasses and mask, revealing a smile he had practiced countless times. “Hello.”

“Ahhh!” Jiang Liangliang covered her mouth, shouting excitedly and hopping a few times. She tugged at Wang Yang’s arm. “Brother Yang, it’s Zhai Lin! It’s really Zhai Lin who bought our fighter jet! I’m so happy! I actually got to see Zhai Lin!”

“Hello, I… I’m your idol—ah, no, you’re my fan… ah, that’s not right either. Sorry, I’m just too excited… I really like you,” Jiang Liangliang stepped forward, wanting to get closer but feeling it might be inappropriate, so she stayed about two meters away, excitedly pointing at him.

Zhai Lin was used to such reactions and simply smiled. “Would you like an autograph? But you might need to prepare a pen and paper.”

“Yes! I do!” Jiang Liangliang turned and ran into the warehouse to quickly find paper and a pen.

Wang Yang watched Jiang Liangliang’s childish excitement in silence and sighed inwardly. How embarrassing…

“Sister Li, shall we start the inspection now?” Wang Yang asked, gesturing toward the warehouse.

Sister Li nodded. “Yes, it’s best to start now. Our time isn’t very abundant, and Zhai Lin has another event to attend afterwards.”

“I think the event can be postponed, but the inspection must be done. After all, you spent so much money on the last F-22 fighter jet. We need to ensure you can buy with confidence,” Wang Yang said with a smile.

Sister Li nodded. “Yes, but I see you have live-streaming equipment set up in the warehouse. Are you planning to broadcast the entire inspection?”

Wang Yang was momentarily surprised but nodded. “Exactly. That was the plan from the start. But after seeing Zhai Lin…”

“Go ahead and live stream,” Sister Li said.

A sly glint flashed in Wang Yang’s eyes.

From the moment he saw Zhai Lin and Sister Li, he had been thinking: a top celebrity choosing to buy an F-22 fighter jet—that was unusual, though not outright strange.

After all, Wang Yang was currently at the center of a storm, facing immense public scrutiny, some negative, but also enjoying unprecedented attention.

At a time like this, a celebrity buying an F-22 fighter jet was likely trying to ride the wave of Wang Yang’s popularity.

Now it seemed that was indeed the case. Even a top star like Zhai Lin needed to maintain constant buzz to boost his public image and gain more favor with the general public.

Perhaps the entertainment company backing Zhai Lin hoped to achieve something through this.

But none of this mattered much to Wang Yang. He was just a seller, and as long as he could sell the merchandise, that was enough. Moreover, he could capitalize on Zhai Lin’s current fame to boost his own popularity, achieving a win-win situation.

He led Zhai Lin and Sister Li into the warehouse.

“Please wait a moment, I’ll open the live stream first,” Wang Yang said with a gesture and then activated the live broadcast.

He had already announced the live stream, and the room was quickly filling with fans and trolls—over a million viewers in total.

The moment Wang Yang started the live stream, the chat exploded with messages.

“Whoa, I heard Wang Yang sold another fighter jet? That’s really fast. Looks like there are plenty of rich people out there. Selling two in just two days—could it be Brother Yang bought them himself?”

“Hahaha, that’s quite possible. Who’d want to spend 300 million yuan on this junk to take home?”

“Exactly. If it were a real F-22 fighter jet, I might consider it, but it’s just a broken model. What’s the point of buying it? No interest.”

“Heh, you haters just can’t stand to see Brother Yang succeed. By that logic, all the loyal fans must be paid shills too, right?”

“Don’t say that, there might actually be some truth to it.”

“Ignore the haters. Brother Yang sold two F-22 fighter jet models—that’s impressive! His influence is real.”

“Brother Yang said he’d live stream the inspection. I’m curious how that will go. If it’s not professional, the haters will jump all over it.”

“Wait? Brother Yang changed the stream title to ‘Mystery Guest Arrival’? Who is it?”

Amid the flurry of comments, Wang Yang had already renamed the stream: “Mystery Guest Lands, Live F-22 Inspection!”

This instantly piqued the curiosity of everyone watching.

Standing beside him, Sister Li pulled out her phone and checked the live stream. The viewership was just over one million but growing rapidly. She nodded in satisfaction.

It seemed the company’s decision was correct. Wang Yang’s recent surge in popularity as a live-selling host was unprecedented, even surpassing many celebrities.

If Zhai Lin could ride this wave and establish a persona as a military enthusiast, it would greatly benefit his future film career and roles in patriotic movies.

More importantly, it would increase his visibility and fan base.

In the entertainment industry, the number of fans directly reflects a star’s popularity. Popularity means earning power; without it, there’s no income.

Putting away her phone, Sister Li gave Zhai Lin a silent signal to cooperate with Wang Yang’s live stream, then stepped back to observe quietly.

After changing the stream title, Wang Yang adjusted his phone and, for the moment, didn’t show Zhai Lin on camera. Instead, he smiled at the audience and said, “I’m sure you’ve noticed I changed the stream title to mention a mystery guest. Who do you think it is?”

As soon as he asked, the chat exploded again.

“Could it be the military? After all, Brother Yang is selling an F-22 fighter jet! That’s the real deal!”

“You’re such a hater, aren’t you?”

“If Wang Yang really sold a real F-22, do you think the military would just let him live stream?”

“No way. They’d definitely ‘invite’ him for tea.”

“Ha! That’s the kind of tea you drink for a lifetime, huh?”

“Exactly, and they’d have peanuts too, so the tea isn’t too dry to swallow.”

“Come on, Brother Yang, don’t keep us in suspense. Who is it? Some famous figure? A big company CEO? Or our well-known Ma brothers? Or Qiangzi? Or maybe Ming Ge?”

The chat continued buzzing with speculation.
