Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 349 - 348: Oh, So You’re Not Worried About Him

The incident caused a massive uproar.

After being called out by various media outlets and even official government channels, Federation Live quickly responded. The matter concerning Wang Henli had escalated beyond the streamer ecosystem, entering the realm of corporate operations and politics.

Jiang Qiuqiu had been busy for most of last night. The first thing she saw upon waking was a greeting from Mo Si. Her gaze softened, just as a call from Sister Mingmei popped up on her terminal.

"Hello?"

"Qiuqiu, have you seen the news? Wang Henli was arrested."

"Arrested?" Jiang Qiuqiu’s voice rose.

"Looks like you haven’t heard," Meimei said, her tone urgent. "He must be insane! Why couldn’t he just stream properly? If you don’t have the skills, you shouldn’t be in the food category."

"He’s muddied the waters for the entire industry."

Her voice was unusually agitated. While she spoke, Jiang Qiuqiu scrolled through the news before replying, "How does the company plan to handle this?"

"How else can we handle it... Something like this is hard for us to clarify. His branch of the company was always a little strange, and I’m afraid an incident like this isn’t just about the streamer. The platform can’t shirk its responsibility, which is a huge pain. And besides: you were supposed to be at the top of the trending charts today, but this news pushed you down."

"One day on the trending list doesn’t matter." Trending within the food category couldn’t bring Jiang Qiuqiu much more exposure at this point, so she wasn’t bothered. "But why was it exposed last night? A coincidence, or...?" ’One of Wang Henli’s rivals?’

"It’s still under investigation, but it probably wasn’t a rival. Little President Qian went to headquarters to look into it, and I don’t know when he’ll be back."

’Ah, so that’s why Sister Mingmei is so on edge.’

’The company belongs to the Qian Family, which means it also belongs to Little President Qian.’

’With a crisis this sudden, Little President Qian must be having a massive headache.’

"Anyway, enough about that. I haven’t even congratulated you on winning first place in the food category!"

"Wasn’t that what we expected all along?"

"Expected, yes, but still! Besides that, the invitation for the annual gala is out. I’ll have a transport robot deliver it to the entrance of the Starry Sky Roaming District today. Make sure you look out for it."

"Okay, I got it."

"Also, in a few days, there’s the friendly PK exhibition match for all the category winners. It’s not a super formal competition, but you mentioned before that you wanted to give it your best shot..."

"This exhibition match is different from our usual PKs. It uses a brand-new format where fans vote, and whoever gets the most votes wins. Little President Qian and I both know your food is incredibly tempting! But when you’re up against the winners from other categories, just being delicious might not be enough..."

Some streamers have incredibly loyal, die-hard fanbases. Even if they think your food is amazing, they’ll still vote for their own idol to support them, not for another streamer.

In short, Meimei was worried Jiang Qiuqiu would get her hopes up only to be disappointed, so she was trying to manage her expectations.

Hearing the concern in her voice, Jiang Qiuqiu hummed in agreement. "I know, Sister Mingmei, don’t worry. I told you, I’m going in with a level head. As long as I do my best in the competition, winning or losing is secondary."

"I’m relieved to hear you say that. You’re already the most talented streamer I’ve ever seen. Even if you don’t win the overall title this year, just give it another year to build up more experience. You’ll have a great shot next year!"

Putting the exhibition match aside, before ending the call, Jiang Qiuqiu offered Meimei a word of comfort in a low voice. "Even though some major news outlets are involved, it’s just their entertainment divisions. It won’t turn into a major incident."

"Little President Qian should be back soon, so you don’t need to worry, Sister Mingmei."

"...I’m not worried."

"Okay, so Sister Mingmei isn’t worried," Jiang Qiuqiu said with a little ’oh’. "When Little President Qian comes back and learns how completely unbothered you were, he’ll probably be heartbroken."

"..."

Meimei: ’You’ve gotten so cheeky lately!’

Jiang Qiuqiu: ~~(*^▽^*)
