Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 413 - 432: Ju People Fan Club: Sorry, We’re So Poor

After leaving the general department meeting room, Jiang Qiuqiu started a warm-up livestream and sent the link to Wanxing.

Wanxing had just finished writing the announcement on her end.

It was just eight o’clock, and most of the people who wanted to go to the tofu stall were already awake. Wanxing, in her capacity as the president of the Ju people fan club, went ahead and posted the following announcement in Jiang Juju’s food circle.

[Hello to all you handsome and beautiful people from all walks of life! I am a representative of the co-sponsors for the "Follow the Streamer, Get Free Ancient Earth Food" event—just one of many unknown Ju people.]

[The event organizers, myself included, are in utter disbelief at how popular this event has become... Since we never expected to go viral like this, a critical flaw has emerged in our plan! We! Are! Out! Of! Money!]

An expense sheet was attached below. It cleverly listed the original budget on one side and the actual expenses on the other. Although less than half the scheduled time had passed, only a tiny bit of money was left.

[Not only are we out of money, but our food supply has also hit rock bottom. Therefore, today will likely be the last day of the food giveaway. We will hand out every last portion of tofu we have in stock, but by our calculations, there still may not be enough. We hope everyone will bear this in mind today; it’s possible that even after waiting in line, you may not be able to get any food.]

Wanxing had intentionally inserted a tofu inventory chart here. A picture is worth a thousand words, and with the chart, the text of the announcement became much more convincing.

After explaining the situation, Wanxing offered a sincere apology: We honestly woke up to find that everything had happened too suddenly. We are deeply sorry for the current situation. If we host another event, we will definitely stock up in advance! Lastly, in order not to disappoint you all, we’ve gotten in touch with our food streamer, Jiang Juju!

[Juju has decided to host a delicious online Tofu Feast today at 12:00 PM sharp! If you don’t want to brave the wind and snow to wait in line, you can watch the livestream right from home!]

This was the end of the apologetic announcement.

As the first ’official’ response to the situation, Wanxing’s post was quickly shared across major online communities and various personal Star Network platforms.

Just as Jiang Qiuqiu had predicted, the general public was mostly forgiving. After reading the honest announcement, the comically broke-looking expense sheet, and the inventory report, people started posting memes of Professor Xiao Liu all over the web.

[Totally understandable. Who could’ve guessed this would blow up so suddenly?]

[Yeah, who’d have thought Professor Liu could single-handedly make this streamer famous?]

[#GIF# You got it!] The image attached to this person’s reply was a clip from the video of the little girl tilting her head and clapping, which had been trending since the early hours of the morning.

[So we’re just supposed to wait at home for the 12 o’clock livestream?]

[In theory, yeah.]

But after nine o’clock, the area around the tofu stall was still a sea of people. Even though the stall hadn’t been wheeled out yet, a crowd was already waiting.

After all, they had tried the tofu before; it was a food that had earned their stamp of approval.

A Tofu Feast sounded impressive, but a virtual livestream... it just didn’t seem as reliable as getting the real thing.

And so, the little stall was still a massive hit all morning. The supply robots had to make several trips to many locations.

As it neared 12:00, those who arrived late saw the long line, lost all hope, snapped a picture, and went home.

At 11:30, Jiang Qiuqiu received the tofu that had been sent over by the owner.
