Chapter 45 Almost Fainting In Frustration

The four of them, including Jodie, performed in a crowded town square

There were quite a few onlookers. but the tips they received after the performance were meager. They only managed to earn a little over fifty, mostly thanks to Leon’s popularity.

As Jodie looked at the money in the box, she felt a deep sense of disappointment. She had expected to make more money with their street performance, but it turned out to be just over fifty. In her everyday life, she wouldn’t even bother to pick up that amount if it fell on the ground.

She smiled wryly and said to the others, “With the little money we’ve earned, we’ll have to tighten our belts for dinner tonight.”

Leon sensed Jodie was trying to sound optimistic despite feeling down, so he comforted her, “We’ve done quite well to earn this much. Your guitar playing is excellent, Jodie. I could see that the audience enjoyed it. It’s just that this is a remote town, and many people here aren’t used to tipping street. performers.”

He smiled, adding, “Let’s work harder to earn more money in the next episode.”

Jodie felt better upon hearing those encouraging words. She realized that their goal for today was not just about making money but showcasing their talents. And so, she put on a determined and positive expression and even made a cheer–up gesture, saying, “Mr. Foster is right. We’ll work harder next time and surely get better.”

If it weren’t for Simone’s group appearing earlier, the audience might have thought that they performed well. But now they thought this group seemed ordinary and weren’t shocked that they only received fifty in tips. What’s more, that amount might have been from Leon’s popularity.

Later, Jodie suggested going to the market to buy groceries. While they were shopping, she handed the money to Leon, asking him to be in charge of the main shopping, and then made an excuse to the restroom.

Upon returning from the restroom, she didn’t immediately return to the screen. Instead, she exchanged a meaningful look with a crew member she knew. The crew member slowed down so that the two could walk together and create some distance from the others.

Jodie whispered, “How was the live stream audience’s reaction to our afternoon performance?”

She thought the live audience would praise her for her talent and dedication.

But the crew member discreetly replied, “It was mediocre.”

In reality, there was not much reaction.

Jodie was surprised to hear that, “Just mediocre?”

The crew member nodded. “Yes.”
