Chapter 48: Chapter 48:
Cheng Qi came after hearing the news and calmly told Lin Xiaozhou what had happened on the Internet today.
The expression on Lin Xiaozhou’s face gradually became serious. He sat cross-legged on the bed and lowered his small head without saying a word for a long time. Back then, he had secretly returned to the country behind his parents and his older brother’s back and snuck into the capital to do streaming. For the past two years, he had experienced a lot of drama like this. He wouldn’t get affected that easily.
However, this time, it was too fierce.
A heavy blame was placed on him without any warning.
“I didn’t do that,” Lin Xiaozhou said sheepishly as he jumped out of bed. “I’m going back to the company now. My phone was stolen yesterday, and those messages weren’t sent by me-”
He and Bai Yiyi were unrelated. He did not expect Bai Yiyi to release a screenshot of the chat, and he did not expect his assistant, Xiao Fang, to stand up and testify against him.
All he wanted to do now was to return to the [ Orange Streaming ] company and ask them in person.

Lin Xiaozhou stopped in his tracks.
He suddenly stretched out his palm and said to Gu Chu, “Chuchu, lend me your phone.” Lin Xiao Zhou used Gu Chu’s phone to call the director of Orange Streaming.
The call was quickly picked up. Lin Xiaozhou hurriedly said, “Director Wang, it’s Kid, I-”
“You still have the nerve to call?” Director Wang cursed in a gruff voice, “Do you know how much our company lost because of your stupid matter?!”
Lin Xiaozhou’s body swayed. “I didn’t send that kind of text to Bai Yiyi. My phone was stolen last night-”
“Alright, alright, no need to explain!” Director Wang sneered. “Xiao Lin, don’t blame our company for being heartless. It’s really you who offended someone you shouldn’t have. Just wait for the lawyer’s letter. Orange Streaming won’t tolerate immoral streamers.”
Director Wang sneered and hung up the phone.
Lin Xiaozhou felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water on him. It went from his skin to his bones, sending chills down his spine.
When he signed the contract with [ Orange Streaming ], it was Zhao Yan who had recommended him. However, even though Lin Xiaozhou was the most popular game streamer on Orange Streaming, the executives of the platform were not satisfied with him.
This was because Lin Xiaozhou was “not smart” and would not guide the audience to spend money on him. He would even advise minors not to tip him.
Lin Xiaozhou rarely participated in the various ranking activities held by the platform. He knew that most of the audience watching his live stream were minors.
A game streamer who could create more than 100 million value was only willing to create 10 million value. As time passed, the higher-ups became more and more dissatisfied with him. If it weren’t for his high popularity, they would have long wanted to mess with him.
Lin Xiaozhou scratched his hair impatiently. His curly hair was a mess because of his scratching, and his handsome little face was unhappy.
He opened Weibo again, and the top few posts on Weibo were all about him.

Orange Streaming did things very quickly and soon released a termination statement, claiming that Lin Xiaozhou had violated a streamer’s professional standards, and Orange Streaming had unilaterally terminated his contract.
The other endorsements that had worked with Lin Xiaozhou were also forced to remove e-sports products related to Lin Xiaozhou due to the surging public pressure.
Lin Xiaozhou was facing a huge penalty.
“@TheMostHandsomeKid, please come out and explain!!”
“I’m waiting for Kid’s explanation….”
