Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 411 - 430: What to Do When You’re Short on Money and Supplies?

Jiang Qiuqiu, Meimei, and Wanxing were meeting in a holographic conference room.

Jiang Qiuqiu had just woken up and seen the massive stir on the Star Network. She was speechless for a moment, then couldn’t help but marvel, ’Truly, every field has its experts.’

’A marketing genius is really something else. Their ability to stir up a storm is the real deal.’

"Xiao Wan is truly incredible."

Meimei praised Wanxing as well. "Is this the surprise you were talking about?"

"You’re basically a one-woman marketing team."

Wanxing, who was being showered with praise, was stunned herself. She had woken up to find all her group chats, conference rooms, and fan groups had completely exploded. Countless people were @ing her, telling her that Juju had gone viral and broken into the mainstream.

They said her marketing skills were insanely good, but—

"Juju, Sister Mingmei, please stop praising me for a moment."

Wanxing rubbed her head. "This marketing campaign wasn’t my doing."

"Huh?" Meimei said in surprise. "It... it wasn’t you?"

"To be precise, I haven’t even launched my marketing plan yet." The project was still in its early stages, and Wanxing hadn’t had a chance to roll out the plan she’d been working on.

"Besides, my plan would never have been able to involve interstellar celebrities like Professor Wang and Professor Da Liu."

Her original plan had also been to go the interview route, but the outlets she’d contacted weren’t official media. They were more entertainment-focused, and she had already prepared some talking points in advance.

She was confident her topics would generate some buzz and attract a new wave of fans for Qiuqiu, but... going viral like *this* was definitely not what she had in mind.

’This is way too huge.’

She explained the whole situation from beginning to end. "So the credit shouldn’t go to me. It’s because Qiuqiu’s food is just that delicious. We only managed to replicate sixty percent of it, and we still attracted so many people."

As she tried to deflect all the credit, Jiang Qiuqiu grabbed her hand. "Why would you say that? No matter what, Xiao Wan, you’re our biggest hero in all of this."

Jiang Qiuqiu and Meimei joined forces to shower Wanxing with praise.

The praise made the young university student a little embarrassed. "You can’t say it was all me. The credit for this one goes to Qiuqiu’s fans."

The fans were the ones who crowdfunded it, and they were the ones who organized and did the work. "This whole project was a collaborative effort by everyone."

It took thousands of people working together to pull off this grand project that spanned over a dozen planets.

However, the plan now faced a huge problem.

"Sister Mingmei, Qiuqiu, I never predicted the stalls would become this popular. The money we crowdfunded..."

As a finance student, Wanxing really, really hated to say the next part. "We don’t have enough Star Coins to cover the expenses anymore."

"Plus, way too many people are showing up at once. I spoke with the owner of the shop that supplies our tofu, and I’m afraid he’s running out of stock, too."

The money wasn’t a huge problem. Now that she was famous, the company could allocate some funds, or Jiang Qiuqiu herself could chip in to quickly cover the costs.

But the tofu—

There was only one shop on Taotao Fresh that made tofu. A single shop’s production capacity couldn’t possibly supply stalls across so many planets simultaneously.

And it wasn’t something that could be whipped up in a short amount of time.

"I’ve run the numbers. The stalls haven’t opened for the day yet; we open at nine every morning. If a lot of people show up today, we’ll very likely run out of tofu before we can give it to everyone."

"Think about it. Someone gets curious and goes to check out one of the viral stalls. They wait in line for hours, only to be told at the very end, ’Sorry, we’re all out.’"

"How would that person feel? They’d probably go from a casual fan to a die-hard hater right then and there."

This was a massive problem. The situation was urgent, and for the moment, Wanxing couldn’t think of a good solution.
