Chapter 34
The netizens couldn't help but look up the ID of the live stream room, and yes, it was correct.
The people in the live stream room had been watching for many days, and they were already familiar with it. But this was the first time they saw Shen Wei's parents.
At this moment, the middle-aged man in the live stream room said, "I am Shen Wei's father. I came here to do some odd jobs, and I'm making small bread for you all."
"These are the old-fashioned small breads. When I was young, I couldn't afford them, and I always wondered when I would be able to have them."
"Now I know that when you reach a certain age, you can have what you want!"
He babbled on in front of the camera, looking like a professional host.
The system had applied a beauty filter, and the faint dark circles under his eyes were gone.
With such a beautiful daughter like Shen Wei, he must have been quite handsome in his youth.
Under the beauty filter, he looked even more benevolent, and one could vaguely see his former handsome appearance.
The live stream room soon became lively.
Previously, the viewers had been chatting among themselves in the comment section, and the live stream didn't respond to them much.
But now that they saw Shen's father responding to the viewers so enthusiastically, they got excited.
"Uncle, are you going to make bread?"
Shen's father read out the question, then replied, "Yes, yes, I'll make bread and cookies. What else do you want? I can go learn how to make anything I don't know."
The viewers were stunned, knowing that Shen Wei was a rich second-generation. Now, the uncle in the live stream room must be a first-generation rich.
In their minds, the first-generation rich were usually company executives who spoke little and rarely smiled.
Or they were the oily men who casually mentioned billions as a catchphrase.
But this was the first time they had seen someone so enthusiastic and lively, just like the friendly neighborhood uncle.
"We want croissants, baguettes, napoleons, and donuts."
Shen's father looked puzzled, "What are those?" Then he scratched his head sheepishly, "Uncle hasn't heard of those before, but don't worry, kids, Uncle can go learn!"
He was chatting animatedly next to the camera. Shen's mother next to him said, "Go ahead and make them."
"Oh, oh, oh." Shen's father snapped back to attention, then started weighing the flour and adding milk and butter to the mixer according to the proportions.
The viewers in the live stream room were stunned when they saw this: "Wow, he's using the top-tier Feibao flour."
Afraid that others wouldn't understand, this viewer quickly explained, "This flour costs more than 60 yuan per pound. I only use it when making the highest-end pastries."
"Uncle is using this material to make small bread? That's such a waste."
"60 yuan per pound, my family's flour has never cost more than 3 yuan."
"Is this what rich people are like? I really want to send my child to the same kindergarten as them."
"In the past, we only saw the rich people shearing sheep and harvesting garlic. This is the first time we get to shear the wool of the rich. Please, let me shear it once, or at least let me have a taste!"
"I just want to know what bread made with 60 yuan per pound flour tastes like?"
Shen's father was quite lively. Seeing so many people commenting, he couldn't help but want to interact with the people in front of the screen: "How about I send you some after I've made them!"
Seeing the enthusiasm of the people in the live stream room, he felt a bit embarrassed.
He had never been so popular before. He loved to cook, but not so much to eat.
Seeing how much everyone liked it, he was overjoyed.
As soon as he said that, even more people started calling him "handsome uncle!" and "my internet dad."
Shen's father had never experienced this level of affection before, and his face turned red.
Although the live stream had a beauty filter, it actually amplified the advantages of his appearance.
It subtly let people feel the handsome he used to be.
Shen's father said, "I'll research it again later, how to make that. This is my first time live streaming. Sending things will be talked about later!"
He hadn't yet learned the tricks of short video making.
He then started making the bread again.
Perhaps due to the nervousness, even though Shen's father had made it many times at home, this time he was a bit clumsy. But the viewers in the live stream room were quick to notice that all the materials he used were top-notch brands.
Including the butter, flour, and milk. They were all premier brands.
Add to that, Shen's father had previously mentioned sending them some.
The number of viewers in the live stream room increased from the usual 100,000 to nearly 150,000.
And Shen's father was the type who would meet any request from the viewers.
When the viewers asked him to interact more with them and not keep his head down making the dough, this was exactly what Shen's father wanted to do.
He just wanted to chat with the viewers.
Then he said to Shen's mother, "Why don't you do it first, and I'll answer some questions from the viewers. They're so enthusiastic."
Shen's mother said okay.
She did it alone, without Shen's father messing around, and Shen's mother's work was more seamless.
Shen's father, experiencing this for the first time, said excitedly, "This is much better than playing golf. Those people in golf never looked down on me before. The internet is so much better."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the live stream was shocked. What did he mean? Was he bullied?
Among the viewers were not just ordinary netizens, but also some local aristocratic families.
Someone with inside information leaked, "I know, their family is a newly-rich one, and they are not welcomed in high society."
The viewers immediately got angry when they heard this: "Why are they not welcomed?"
Seeing that Shen's father was just like their own father, so optimistic, and yet he was bullied, they felt a bit unhappy.
"What's wrong with these people?"
Shen's father didn't expect that his casual remark would make the viewers want to defend him. He quickly said, "That's because I'm not good at playing golf!" and tried to pacify them. He didn't want to offend anyone.
Little did he know that the more he did this, the more sympathy he garnered from the viewers.
Shen Wei, watching the live stream, didn't expect her father to be so popular.
His strategy was just sincerity.
Sincerity is the must-have skill on the internet.
The viewers had never seen anything like this before.
They called him all sorts of names, including "internet dad."
Shen's father was delighted, "Does this count as becoming a father?"
He didn't quite understand.
The viewers immediately enlightened him.
Then they saw Shen's father blush, "No, no, I didn't mean that."
Everyone was happy to indulge him.
Seeing some people still persistent, the other viewers said, "Let him be, this is his first time live streaming, let him feel the love of the internet."
Everyone laughed, and the topic was dropped.
The viewers flooded the comment section: "Shen's father is so easy-going, and Shen Wei is so beautiful, and the family has such a large business. Are you still looking for a son-in-law? One who has been to college."
Shen's father read out this comment and said, "But Shen Wei already has a fiancé."
Shen Wei, who was watching the live stream, was dumbfounded. She had never heard of this.
Later, Shen's father explained to the audience that in the past, he and a friend had arranged a marriage for their children, but later the family backgrounds were too different, so they called it off.
The viewers said, "Arranged marriage in this day and age? What an outdated concept!"
Shen's father quickly said, "We were all young and foolish back then!"
He wanted to change the subject.
But the viewers were all attracted by this topic and kept asking who Shen Wei's ex-fiancé was.
Shen's father refused to talk about it.
He just chatted casually with the audience as if they were friends, but the viewers kept pressing him for details.
What they didn't know was that a public account had already joined the live stream and edited his words into a short video, which was then posted online.
Very quickly, Shen Wei's ex-fiancé was exposed as Gu Qingyan, the young master of the Gu family.
They then dug up his photos, and this young master of the Gu family, while handsome, had an androgynous appearance. He was tall and slim, especially his beautiful hands, which made the hand fetishists go crazy.
