Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 408 - 427: Giving Out D’s: The Iron-blooded and Ruthless Professor Liu Lianhua

The young reporter was a natural at interviewing office workers. Plus, young people were always talkative, so she quickly gathered a lot of interesting video material.

She asked why they had come all this way just to eat.

The two who had eaten here before said they came because the food was delicious. But the reporter quickly spotted a discrepancy. "So, are you two the only ones here who’ve tried this place before? What about everyone else? They’ve never had it?"

"That’s right."

"And you came all this way without ever trying it?"

"Yep."

The person’s face was brimming with a happy smile. The young reporter had been watching her for a while before the interview. While waiting for a table, she and her friends were having a great time just chatting.

"Well, we didn’t have anything to do after work anyway. Someone organized it, so we came along. Whether the food is good or not isn’t the main point. Just getting everyone together to hang out is special enough."

"Oh, so that’s how it is."

After interviewing a few more people, the young reporter stepped aside. With the crowd in the background, she delivered her summary: "As our era has progressed, the lives of young people have become much more spontaneous..."

The young reporter was a literature major. She spoke eloquently, and her emotional commentary flowed like a powerful, endless river. It was quite a while before she finished her reflections.

By now, the sky had started to dim. Fortunately, the bright lights along the road lit up the snowy night. The scene was beautiful, so the young reporter filmed a few more shots. With that, she had pretty much all the footage she needed.

Her news agency had sent many reporters to interview young people from different companies and various professions, so her footage would only be one part of the whole.

On the way back to her hovercar, the young reporter was still wondering to herself. ’I filmed so much footage... I wonder how much of it will actually make it onto the evening news for everyone to see?’

At that moment, she had no idea that her concluding shot had captured the returning Professor Xiao Liu.

That would be Professor Liu Lianhua, the man famous for being strict and formal, who loved to give D’s to unserious students—an iron-willed, merciless research maniac.

That video, packed with solid content, was sent to the station for editing overnight.

Barring any surprises, it would be handed over to the station’s dozen or so master editors. They would work at top speed to cut it together into a finished segment within three hours, ready to air at 11 PM tonight.

Based on past experience, after it aired, it would simply sink like a stone, never to be heard from again.

It would only get a brief mention in the mainstream media. But tonight—

It blew up.

It shot to the top of the trending charts, along with the tags: #WhatsThisTofuStallThatEvenTheGodsLove, #WhoIsThisStreamerAnyway, #WhoTheHeckIsJiangJiujiu, and #NoOneEscapesJiangJiujiu.

The program’s path to explosive popularity was nothing short of astounding.

At first, only a small group of loyal Haiyun Evening News fans watched the segment and noticed that several of Haiyun Star’s "national treasures" were in it. Instantly, video clips and GIFs featuring these prominent figures began to circulate widely on the Star Network.

Over a billion people liked these short clips.

But back then, only those short clips became famous. After all, no one was going to watch a long, drawn-out program just because of a few clips.

Later, someone—no one knows who—forwarded a GIF of Professor Liu to a Haiyun University community group with the comment: "Professor Liu Lianhua’s voice is as grumpy as ever."

’I mean, who at this university *hadn’t* taken a few of Professor Liu Lianhua’s classes?’

It didn’t matter if you had him for a few classes or many, whether it was for your major or not, required or elective—an encounter with him was a total catastrophe.

And so, everyone in the thread began to passionately discuss Professor Liu Lianhua.
