Chapter 774 - Making Changes

The first thing Joseph did … well, other than take a bath … was to start connecting to all his friends back home.

He also decided to reactivate his TokTik account.

TokTik was a social networking service created by Country C, that was launched nationwide a couple of years ago. It is used to create short dance, lip-synch, comedy, and talent videos of 3 to 15 seconds and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds.

When Joseph had been younger, he had created some videos of himself singing and dancing. As he looked through the account now, he cringed.

Had he really been that bad?

The fact that he had been 9 at that time wasn't an excuse. Joseph was truly glad that his account had been private then, a rule that his mother put up in return for his free reign in using the Internet.

There had been many rules.

Never use his real name. Never reveal where he was. Never talk about places specifically as this could cause stalkers (if any) to note his schedule and location. Make sure any pictures he took should not show where he is located.

Although he had found it a chore back then, he realised how wise it was to be careful.

His heart constricted a bit as he thought of his mother.

She told him that he could make his account public once he reached 18, but not before.

However, now that she's gone … would that rule still apply?

Joseph took a deep breath.

Of course, it did.

However, he decided to make a fake account. Since he's a citizen of Country M, creating an account in Country Tz would certainly misdirect people, right? He knew that anyone could like about where they were, Plus, he won't be using his real name and decided to post only from his bedroom.

He still took his mother's rules to heart but he also wanted a platform to express himself.

He had all these thoughts, and all these ideas, but nowhere to vent it out.

TokTik was the best place to do so.

After thinking about it hard, he felt that the best TokTik video he could do right now was his workouts. He could kill two birds with one stone like that. Share his knowledge that he learned from Kyle and also get fit.

He didn't really care about subscribers at that moment. He just wanted to be able to express himself. He wanted a change. Something else to focus on. Since gaming wasn't doing it fully, why not this?

Another idea formed in his mind.

What about an online blog?

It may be rather old-school in this day and age, but it certainly was an outlet. Help him settle his thoughts. Writing them out would force him to think about it in a more rational manner. It can also serve as a record of his progress.

With that thought, Joseph started on his blog first.

Once he started writing, the words just flowed. The room was filled with nothing but the soft sounds of music in the background and the clacking of the keyboard.

Lianne placed her hands behind her back and greeted Kay politely.

"As you have visitors, I'll head off to the cafeteria," Lianne told Kay.

"Alright," Kay replied, "You'll be okay?"

"Yes, don't worry," Lianne said with a small smile, "I'll be fine."

Since she had seen the cafeteria earlier, she knew that it wasn't crowded. Ordinarily, she wouldn't be comfortable being all alone in an unfamiliar spot but she wasn't going to bother Kay with this.

She had her phone and some cash, so she can make do with shutting out the world. All she needed was a more secluded spot to sit and she'll be fine.

Lianne didn't even glance at the visitors that walked in, for she had nothing to do with them. Also, she didn't like their gazes.

The old man has a slightly hostile look while the younger one had too much curiosity in them. Both made her feel uncomfortable and she wanted to get out as soon as possible.

Kay didn't notice the strange glances that Lianne was getting as her back was to them, and by the time she turned, their facial expressions were back to normal.

"I believe the collaboration between the two companies would be fruitful," Kay began, gesturing them to sit by the sofa as Lianne walked out.

Lianne closed the door silently, pondering on the scene that she had left behind. That boy was probably something like what Mama had been. Training from young to succeed in the family business or something similar.

She c.o.c.ked her head to the side, while nodding to herself, thinking … well, at least there was one boy that didn't seem immature and childish. Guess birds of a feather truly did flock together.

Since Mama was so outstanding, then it goes to follow that those around her and who are in contact with her, would be as well.

Too bad she wasn't going to be around here for long, so she wouldn't be able to feast her eyes on Mama's pretty Elite Team anymore.

With a deep sigh, Lianne headed to the lift after telling Beatrice that she was headed to the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, in Kay's office, Zhongshu asked, "Pardon me for asking, but who was that?"

The fact that she had been in the CEO's office and was familiar with Kay meant that her identity wasn't simple. Considering the interest the young one had, if the girl had a good background, forming an alliance through marriage would be good.

Kay looked up as Beatrice walked in with the drinks and snacks, schooling her expression so that Zhongshu wouldn't know that she knew why he was asking. As Beatrice poured the drinks, Kay replied, "She's someone Kyle is sponsoring, that's all."

Kai let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding.
