Chapter 99: TikTok Event

Hearing the traffic officer’s “praise,” Jiang Yun could only give a wry smile.

He had thought that driving the car here was safe enough, but he had not expected trouble to strike again.

This time, though, the accident was the most common kind of traffic mishap in the Southwest F4’s repertoire, nowhere near as absurd as the fire extinguisher incident last time.

“The responsibility in this case is very clear. Come to our traffic police station in two days to pick up the liability determination report,” the officer said after gathering the relevant materials and evidence.

“Sure.” Jiang Yun nodded, then looked at Dumb Little Sister. “Then you’ll need to make a trip to the traffic police station in a couple of days.”

“Huh? Why me?” Dumb Little Sister pointed at herself, full of confusion.

Jiang Yun spread his hands helplessly. “Because you were the one driving when the accident happened.”

Dumb Little Sister: ...

Was I driving?

Was I really driving?

Didn’t the trouble start right after I got it going?

She had a hundred thousand curses stuck in her throat, but when she thought about the traffic regulations involved... well, it seemed she really had no rebuttal.

After checking the dashcam, the traffic officer also understood exactly what had happened, so when he saw Dumb Little Sister’s aggrieved expression, he could hardly hold back a laugh.

Once things were mostly handled, Jiang Yun took a taxi home.

At first he wanted to scroll through short videos and relax for a bit, but the very first recommendation the algorithm pushed to him was...

“Dumb Little Sister’s new car has crashed again and again and again!”

Seeing the title, a trace of helplessness flickered across Jiang Yun’s face.

Then the video started playing, and he finally understood how the matter had spread.

It turned out that when they had their accident, there happened to be a small influencer filming nearby.

They had captured the entire process on camera.

In the video, Jiang Yun got out of the driver’s seat and was about to leave.

Dumb Little Sister got out from the passenger side, moved over to the driver’s seat, and then the motorcycle appeared, fell over, and smashed into the car.

He clicked into the comments section, and sure enough, just as Jiang Yun had expected, every comment was about how he and Dumb Little Sister were doomed to clash.

“Dumb Little Sister was right. Brother Yun really is the bane of her cars.”

“I have a friend in the traffic police. He told me this was a gift from Brother Yun to make amends to Dumb Little Sister, and that it was just picked up today.”

“New-car killer, Detective Conan Jiang Yunkawa!”

“Give it up, old lady. From now on, wherever Brother Yun is, you can’t sit in the driver’s seat!”

“Honestly, old lady, just move out of Chengdu. That way you won’t have any more chance of running into Brother Yun.”

“Why don’t you two just get together? After all, Brother Yun won’t have any trouble driving. It’s only the old lady who runs into trouble when she drives.”

“.........”

“Sigh...” Jiang Yun let out a long breath.

It looked like he would never be able to explain away the idea that he and Dumb Little Sister were fated to clash.

Because there was simply no way to explain it!

Let alone outsiders—even Jiang Yun himself had more or less come to believe it.

Other than being doomed by incompatible destinies, what explanation could there be?

None.

Ding-ding-ding!

Just as he was thinking that, his phone suddenly rang. Jiang Yun glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

“Hello.”

“Hello, may I ask if this is Mr. Jiang Yun?”

“Yes, it’s me. And you are?”

“I’m a staff member from TikTok. On behalf of TikTok, we’d like to invite you to participate in a topical program we’re hosting next week. May I ask whether you’d have time?”

“A topical program?” Jiang Yun frowned. “Forget it. I don’t like that kind of show. Thanks for the kind offer.”

“All right. If you change your mind, you can contact us through this number. The recording is scheduled for next Wednesday, and the filming location is in Chengdu City, so travel won’t be too troublesome for you.”

“Okay. If I change my mind, I’ll let you know.”

Jiang Yun did not like dealing with the official people from these platforms, but that did not mean he would speak rudely to them.

As long as the other side spoke normally, he would be very polite too.

Just like now.

On the other side, Dumb Little Sister also received a message from TikTok’s official account.

“That’s weird. I’m not even a signed streamer on TikTok, so why are they inviting me?” Dumb Little Sister said in confusion.

Beside her, Hunchback Sister was a little envious. “If there’s an event, just go. Looks like it’s an official program, so there should be traffic boosting afterward. That’s great.”

Unlike Dumb Little Sister, Hunchback Sister had not received any invitation from TikTok’s official side.

“Of course I’m going if they invite me. I just don’t get why they’d invite me.”

Dumb Little Sister really could not figure it out.

Back when TikTok was just getting started, they did not care whether their own influencers were streaming on other platforms. But as TikTok Live grew bigger, TikTok had already begun limiting traffic to influencers from other platforms, though the degree varied from case to case.

After all, why promote influencers from other platforms when you could promote your own?

That was why, for someone like Dumb Little Sister, a streamer from outside the platform, TikTok had not collaborated with her for a very long time.

Even when Dumb Little Sister took the initiative and wanted to join some official events, most of the time she was turned down.

As for being invited by the official side like this... Dumb Little Sister had almost forgotten when that last happened.

“Who knows? Maybe it’s because you’ve been trending lately,” Hunchback Sister said casually.

Previously, she had also gone viral on TikTok’s trending list because of the Ferrari being scrapped, and many netizens had joked that she and Jiang Yun were born under conflicting stars.

That trending topic had brought her a fair amount of traffic.

“That was only because of that guy Jiang Yun...” Dumb Little Sister had only said half the sentence when she suddenly realized something.

She looked at Hunchback Sister. “Do you think TikTok might have invited Jiang Yun too?”

At that, Hunchback Sister replied without even thinking, “Of course they would. Jiang Yun’s traffic is huge right now, and he still counts as a TikTok streamer. Why wouldn’t they invite him?”

Then Hunchback Sister understood what Dumb Little Sister meant. “You mean, this time you’re benefiting from Jiang Yun’s popularity?”

“I think so.”

“Then why don’t you call and ask?”

“Okay.”

So Dumb Little Sister called Jiang Yun to confirm.

“Hello.”

“What do you want? Has your car crashed again or something?”

Dumb Little Sister: ...

“You really want my car to crash that badly?” Dumb Little Sister’s tone was a little resentful. After counting today’s Passat, she had already had trouble with three cars... no, she had once had an accident in Jiang Yun’s Audi too, so that made four.

“Oh, so long as nothing happened.” Jiang Yun’s tone eased a little. He really had been worried that Dumb Little Sister’s car had gotten into trouble again.

“Enough teasing. I’m asking you something serious.”

“Go ahead.”

“Did TikTok invite you to record a program?”

“Yes. They just contacted me, and I turned them down.”

“Huh? Why did you refuse?”

“Why would I accept?”

“TikTok just invited me, and I said yes.”

“Then go. Why are you telling me?”

“I wanted to ask whether you could go with me.”

“What would I go for? I don’t like that kind of event.”

Jiang Yun’s tone was a little unwilling. He really did not like these sorts of activities.
