Chapter 252
It seemed like a softer approach wouldn't work, so he had to resort to a tougher approach.
"However, Noah, there is still a chance!" Lily quickly shifted the conversation:
"The fact that I have inherited Kyle's position hasn't completely spread in Oceanbridge City. Most people still believe that Kyle is still my father."
"But in a few days, the Benson Family will hold a ceremony for my inauguration as the new family head. We will invite people from the other three major families and prominent figures from the upper social circles of Oceanbridge City. Naturally, Gideon will be on the guest list."
"At that time, Noah, you can come over and have a conversation with Gideon. Who knows, he might agree."
Noah contemplated for a moment. It was indeed a possible solution - starting with a softer approach before resorting to a tougher one.
If Gideon didn't agree during the ceremony, Noah would have to think of another plan.
"Alright, I will attend the inauguration ceremony from the beginning. I will be there," Noah responded.
"Great, Noah! I will have someone deliver the invitation to your house later," Lily smiled.
Lily was delighted that Noah could attend her inauguration ceremony.
After all, the Benson Family was Noah's. As for where Noah lived, Lily knew.
"That's all for now," Noah hung up the phone and went back to his room to sleep.
...
The next day, a piece of news rocketed up to the top spot on Weibo's trending page.
"Famous anchor Hailey switches to Facebook Live!"
As soon as this Weibo post appeared, the comments below exploded.
"What? Her Highness switched jobs!"
"I will protect Her Highness's smile! From now on, I will only watch live streams on Facebook Live!"
"I never expected Hailey to join Shark!"
"What exactly is Shark?"
"Shark seems to be the company that Oceanbridge City the cool merged with!"
"The boss behind Facebook Live is quite mysterious!"
...
The comments on Weibo kept refreshing.
When Noah woke up in the morning, he also noticed that Hailey was trending.
He opened the Facebook Live app and the first recommended live stream was "Her Highness Hailey, premiering at 8 o'clock, her smile is protected by you."
Noah smiled faintly. Say what you will, but Facebook Live's public relations and operations capabilities were still pretty good.
He clicked on the screen and entered Hailey's live stream.
On the screen, Hailey sat in front of the camera and sang.
But this time, she didn't cover her face with pictures anymore. She sat there calmly with a smile.
She had the face of a woman in her fifties.
The barrage in the live chat kept popping up.
"Oh my god, it's really Hailey!"
"My Highness!"
"Send gifts, send gifts!"
Shark balls, glow sticks, blood bottles, sports cars, all appeared one after another.
"Thanks to the Light in the Wind for sending a hundred gifts!"
"Thanks to the boss for sending one gift!"
...
Looking at the screen full of gifts, Hailey kept expressing her gratitude.
Though her actual age was that of a woman in her fifties, her popularity was undeniable, so there were many viewers who came to watch.
Noah topped up some money on the platform and sent five gifts, showing support to the anchor under his name.
One golden gift after another unfurled on the screen, filling the entire screen with golden lights!
"Oh my god, gifts!"
"Ten thousand dollars per gift, and there are five of them! Fifty thousand dollars!"
"66666!"
"The one sending gifts is called the owner of Rolls-Royce!"
"Such a wealthy person, a godly person!"
"Could it be the owner of the internet-famous Rolls-Royce?"
Note: The translation has been modified for clarity and readability.
"My idol, does my idol also use Facebook Live?"
The new viewers were all discussing.
Hailey looked at the leaderboard. The top of the weekly contribution rankings and the total contribution rankings were both the owner of Rolls-Royce.
"Thank you to the owner of Rolls-Royce for sending five gifts!"
Hailey thanked with a cheerful smile.
At this time, Noah had already left Hailey's livestream and followed to the cool's livestream.
At this moment, the cool was doing an outdoor livestream, running with a beautiful girl.
In his livestream, there were over a million viewers and the bullet comments were densely packed.
The top contributor of the week sent over 40,000 dollars worth of gifts.
Noah, just like before, sent five gifts.
One after another, golden gifts unfolded in the livestream, turning the entire phone screen into a golden yellow, exuding an extraordinary and dignified aura.
"Wow! Five gifts!"
"Sent by the owner of Rolls-Royce!"
"50,000 dollars!"
"6666666!"
The whole livestream suddenly became lively, with bullet comments flooding in.
Everyone was shocked. This Rolls-Royce owner was so extravagant, sending a 50,000 dollar gift as soon as they started.
At the same time, they speculated that this Rolls-Royce owner might be the owner of the famous internet celebrity's Rolls-Royce.
"Thank you to the owner of Rolls-Royce for sending five gifts! Thank you, boss! Wishing the boss a prosperous fortune and steady wealth!"
The cool also immediately expressed his gratitude, with a smile on his face.
By this time, Noah had already left the livestream and entered the livestream of the Oceanbridge City foodie.
He clicked to send gifts.
One after another, gifts unfolded in the foodie's livestream. It was still five gifts, and the top position on the leaderboard immediately changed to the owner of Rolls-Royce.
After about ten minutes, Noah exited the livestreaming app and put down his phone.
In just a few short minutes, Noah had sent five gifts to all the newly joined livestreamers on Facebook Live.
He spent 600,000 dollars.
And at this moment, the entire Facebook Live was exploding. The bullet comments in those livestreams all turned towards the mysterious owner of Rolls-Royce.
"Oh my, could it really be the owner of the famous internet celebrity's Rolls-Royce?"
"There have been 60 gifts sent!"
"So damn rich!"
"600,000 dollars! I may not even earn this much in my whole life!"
"66666!"
"These broadcasters that the owner of Rolls-Royce is sending gifts to, seem to be new to Facebook Live or featured on the homepage and given special attention!"
"Could it be... that the owner of the famous internet celebrity's Rolls-Royce is the boss behind Facebook Live?"
This last bullet comment appeared, followed by a flurry of comments below.
"Definitely!"
"The Facebook Live BOOS is definitely the owner of Rolls-Royce!"
"Otherwise, there's no need to send so many gifts and have that name!"
...
The Facebook Live platform is extremely mysterious in the live streaming world.
Initially, it was just a small platform, but it quickly rose to fame with rocket-like speed.
Everyone naturally became curious about the person behind it.
Today, the owner of Rolls-Royce suddenly appeared, sending 600,000 gifts. Most likely, the Facebook Live BOOS is the owner of the internet-famous Rolls-Royce!
This news quickly spread.
By around 8 o'clock in the evening, it even made it to the top trending topics on Weibo.
"Facebook Live Boss Suspected to be the Owner of the Internet-Famous Rolls-Royce?"
Upon clicking on this headline, the trending content appears.
This morning, a person named Rolls-Royce's owner generously sent 600,000 gifts on the Facebook Live platform.
...
Underneath this trending content, there were also comments:
"What? The owner behind the Shark is the owner of Rolls-Royce?"
"No way!"
"My idol, turns out to be the Facebook Live boss!"
"Suspected, only suspected! But it is highly likely that it is the owner of Rolls-Royce!"
"If the owner of Rolls-Royce is really the Facebook Live boss, I will definitely support!"
"Now I'm going to download Facebook Live!"
"If only my idol could start a livestream."
...
Noah never expected to make it to the trending topics.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Trending topics come and go, just like flowing information. Today, you're trending, and tomorrow someone else will take your place.
At this moment, he was lying on the top-floor balcony in a comfortable chair, watching the sunset of Oceanbridge City.
In his hand, there was a golden invitation.
This was a invitation sent by Lily to attend her inauguration ceremony as the head of the family tomorrow.
The ceremony will be held in the same location as the previous birthday banquet, the Royal Garden, at 9 o'clock in the morning.
He casually opened the invitation and took a look, then continued to enjoy the cool evening breeze and gaze at the sunset.
The next morning, Noah prepared to go to the Royal Garden.
Buzz buzz buzz...
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Hello, Noah, this is Thomas from Oceanbridge City TV station." The call connected, and a voice came through.
"Uh, what's up?" Noah asked.
"Have you used that ten million?" Thomas asked.
"Uh... I guess you can say I have!"
Noah thought for a moment before answering.
