Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy-Chapter 21: The Editor Takes a Fancy to Her

After the stream ended, Jiang Qiuqiu rubbed her chubby little face.

Her popularity had come a little faster than she expected.

Never mind the income from today’s stream—even after the platform’s 60/40 cut, she would still clear over a million Star Coins.

This sum of money was enough for her to change her future plans. Perhaps she could speed things up and move to another region on the Federation Star.

But what surprised Jiang Qiuqiu the most wasn’t the money she’d earned, but a message that came through her backend system.

Someone from the Federation Star Network’s live streaming division had finally extended an olive branch to her.

-

Meimei was a new editor at the Star Network live streaming company.

The company had been established for many years and had slowly grown to become an industry leader. As a result, its various departments had split into factions.

This was especially true for the editorial department, which was vital to the company’s success. It had become a massive, hierarchical battlefield.

The top-tier editors had been in the business for a long time, and the streamers they managed had fanbases in the hundreds of millions. While plenty of people watched streams, their time was limited, and the market was bound to become saturated.

In a vibrant market that was nevertheless approaching saturation, it was difficult for new streamers and new editors alike to make a name for themselves.

Meimei certainly had a tough time as an editor.

The good prospects never came her way. The ones who did were either duds or completely unreliable, working in fits and starts. Their stream schedules were more erratic than an interstellar Black Hole, and any streamer who showed a glimmer of potential would vanish without a trace.

Day after day, week after week, with no promising talent under her belt, Meimei was starting to resign herself to her fate. ’Do I have to bow to reality and just scrape by as a mid-to-low-tier editor, barely making a living?’ 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

That melancholy feeling came to a halt tonight, the moment she saw that soaring new streamer (Jiang Jiujiu).

...

This little newcomer’s stream was very eye-catching. Meimei immediately gave the stream’s title a high score.

Clicking in, Meimei saw that the streamer wasn’t showing her face. Even so, the visuals of her cooking were incredibly aesthetic. With only a partial view, it was half observation and half imagination, but Meimei just had a feeling the streamer was a beauty.

As a streamer in the gourmet category, her cooking skills were impressive, and she handled all her tools expertly. Meimei’s assessment of Jiang Qiuqiu grew higher and higher.

She concluded that Jiang Qiuqiu had what it takes to be a star.

Then, her cooking was finished, and the taste-test began—

As an editor, even if just a junior one, Meimei still had some privileges. She used them to secure a spot in the taste-test.

A portion of braised pork, perfect in color, aroma, and flavor, was projected in front of her.

She took a bite! Meimei, who had been nonchalant just a moment ago, was instantly wide awake. Her professional instincts kicked in, and she began to rapidly assess it. ’The dishes at the annual company banquet weren’t as delicious as this! This flavor is top-tier! Braised pork and rice are a match made in heaven!’

’She has unparalleled culinary potential! She’s witty and engaging, and her style of eating on stream is one-of-a-kind. She has the potential to blow up!’

Her coworkers in the office saw her shoot up from her seat and asked, "Meimei, what’s wrong?"

"You look like you’ve been electrocuted."

"It’s nothing." Meimei quickly composed herself and said in a low voice, "It’s almost the end of the month. I was just thinking about my performance targets."

"...Oh, okay." The others figured it was just about work.

The coworkers nearby exchanged a glance. ’Sigh. Now she’s worried about her targets? We told her before to just be a little more accommodating. Well, serves her right. Her performance is probably going to hit rock bottom.’

Meimei was oblivious to the silent drama playing out in their expressions.

Right now, she had only one thought in her mind: she had to sign Jiang Qiuqiu before anyone else did, before this hidden gem started to truly shine!
