Chapter 385: Chapter 347: In the Name of a Spouse
Gu Ning stared suspiciously at the constantly flashing interface and the blurry, intermittent messages on her screen. ’Is it a network problem, or is PawPress’s backend bugging out?’
She tried to close the chat windows. After she tapped one away, the others vanished instantly, leaving only a single chat interface open.
Gu Ning’s finger froze. She leaned in for a closer look.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Demiao Ning. It has been a while. Are you well? Do you require any assistance?"
It was a live message from Reya.
Gu Ning frowned at the message and scrolled up to see Reya’s previous messages. There were only five or six similar greetings, nothing out of the ordinary. Further up was their old chat history.
It was as if the chaotic pop-ups from moments ago had been a hallucination, or just a strange bug.
Gu Ning didn’t think it was a hallucination, but she couldn’t find any record of the recent messages. After a moment of thought, she replied to Reya, "I’m fine. And as I’ve said before, please stop sending me random pop-ups, or I’ll file a complaint against you with PawPress."
After sending her reply, she closed the chat with Reya and opened her chat with Idelos.
The moment she did, a message from Idelos arrived:
"You’re online?"
Gu Ning paused, then typed back:
"Yeah."
"I’ve been busy these past few days, no time to log on."
Idelos:
"Busy with what?"
"Anything I can help with?"
Gu Ning had wanted to ask him about work, but thinking of the strange bug from earlier, she tapped the input box and asked:
"I wanted to ask you something. Do you have a dedicated customer service representative from PawPress?"
’If even she had a dedicated rep, then it was impossible for Idelos, one of PawPress’s most famous celebrities, not to have one.’
"I do."
Idelos’s reply was almost instantaneous.
"Why the sudden question? Do you want a dedicated representative too?"
’So he does have a dedicated rep,’ she thought. Gu Ning replied, "I have one too."
Just as she was about to hit send, Gu Ning hesitated, deleted the message, and typed something new:
"Yeah, I heard that popular creators on PawPress get their own dedicated representatives. Even though I just make videos of a virtual female, with my Yuanbao’s popularity, I figure I should have one too."
She waited a while, but Idelos didn’t reply.
After a moment’s hesitation, Gu Ning sent him another message:
"I don’t really like dealing with the company directly. Since we’re partners now, could you ask the PawPress officials for me? See if they can assign me a dedicated representative?"
After sending the message, Gu Ning stared at Idelos’s glittering fox avatar, waiting for his reply.
"It’s been arranged?"
Idelos listened to the reply from his acquaintance at PawPress on the other end of the call. "Check again," he said. "Maybe the task just wasn’t completed properly."
"I already checked," the staffer said. "Right after he got verified, we sent him plenty of private messages. He probably either didn’t see them or just couldn’t be bothered with us. That guy, thinks he’s hot stuff just because of Yuanbao."
"By the way, didn’t you already secure the licensing rights for Yuanbao? Now that you have Yuanbao, it doesn’t really matter if he has a rep or not."
Idelos said, "Only partial licensing. We still need to communicate with him for work-related matters."
The acquaintance replied, "Then you should just talk to him directly. He completely ignores us."
"I’ll ask him again. Thanks for your help this time."
Idelos was about to end the call when a thought struck him. "One more thing," he asked, "what’s the name of the dedicated representative you assigned to him?"
"Reya."
Idelos opened his chat with Gu Demiao Ning. Seeing her latest message, he thought for a moment before replying:
"I asked PawPress for you. They said they’ve already assigned you a dedicated representative named Reya. If you don’t want to communicate with the company, I can handle that aspect of the work for you."
Gu Ning waited for two or three minutes before Idelos’s reply came through. Full of suspicion, she asked:
"Really?"
Idelos: "If you don’t believe me, we can do a video call. I can call the staffer from the company again while you’re on the line. That way, you won’t have to talk to them, but you can still hear their response."
It wasn’t that Gu Ning disbelieved Idelos; she just had a strange feeling about this Reya character.
She had already carefully reviewed Reya’s profile and account information. There was nothing wrong; the account was even officially verified by PawPress.
Considering how seriously Beastmen took identity information and authenticity, the chance of an impostor was low. Now that Idelos had also confirmed it for her, her suspicion toward Reya lessened slightly.
"That won’t be necessary for now," Gu Ning replied.
Idelos’s gaze lingered on the words "for now" for a few seconds before he started typing in the chat box:
