Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy-Chapter 23: Vain Peacock: The Chicken Squawk of Rage
During the live stream, Mei Lin still managed to keep her composure. She used her deceptively sweet face to put on the expression of an elegant princess, unhurriedly introducing the day’s dish to everyone watching.
But the moment the stream ended, the young lady exploded.
The food on the table was swept to the floor. She sat in an exquisite leather chair, her expression haughty. "Butler, did you see that? Just now, I wasn’t number one."
As the eldest daughter of the Dais family, Mei Lin often touted herself as the number one socialite.
Number one!
’It was one thing not to be the undisputed number one in the socialite circles, but now, after stooping to this streaming category, I’m still not number one?’
Even worse, when that person surpassed her, this stupid streaming software even had a pop-up that said, "Streamer Jiang Jiujiu’s popularity has caught up to you..."
"Miss Meilin, this is just an accident." The butler frowned, growing annoyed with this Jiang Qiuqiu whom he’d never even met. ’Who is this person? Can’t she pick a better time to stream? Everything was perfectly prepared, but she just had to interfere and set this little terror off again.’
"An accident?" Mei Lin scoffed. "You said that post before was an accident, and now you’re saying this stream was an accident."
"There can be no accidents on my path to becoming the number one socialite streamer."
"I don’t care what you do. I just never want to see her name on the Federation Star Network again."
With a single, casual sentence, the young lady decided the fate of an insignificant ant.
The butler had no intention of talking her out of it. ’A clean break is the best way to solve this once and for all. Make her scram from the streaming section, and there won’t be any more of these unplanned troubles in the future.’
While schemes were brewing, Jiang Qiuqiu was happily rolling around under her covers.
’Ah! Another day, another step closer to becoming a top food streamer! I’m so amazing!’
「The next day.」
Since she was going to make braised gugu meat again, Jiang Qiuqiu ordered a large quantity of gugu meat and rice.
The rice was still as expensive as ever, but Jiang Qiuqiu had already withdrawn some of the money from her streaming account. ’So! I’m practically a rich person now! Buying rice won’t hurt my wallet too much anymore.’
Humming a tune, she busied herself in the kitchen. Using the leftover rice and gugu meat, she whipped up a serving of rice noodle rolls for herself!
She steamed it until it was cooked through and drizzled it with a special sauce. The aroma of the rice and the meat sauce blended together perfectly. Jiang Qiuqiu took a sniff, her eyes brightening. ’That’s the one!’
Before digging in, she used her sensor to copy the dish and sent it privately to Terry.
She attached a message: "Thank you for always supporting my streams. You were my first fan." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Meanwhile, at the editorial department of Federation Star Live Streaming, the day’s busiest period was beginning.
It was time to start the workday, and everyone was slowly trickling in from home to the office.
Some people were yawning, others were chatting, and a few were scouring the web for promising new talent. Meimei, however, had already walked into her supervisor’s office with a file in hand.
Editors at the Federation Live Streaming editorial department had certain privileges to alter contracts when signing a creator. This privilege was generally used when signing a New Star streamer whom the editor believed had immense potential, or for poaching a top streamer from another platform.
Senior editors had greater privileges, junior editors had fewer. Meimei was a junior editor, so even for a small matter like using her privilege to change Jiang Qiuqiu’s first-year revenue share, she had to ask her supervisor for permission.
The supervisor was very busy. He casually glanced over the contract Meimei handed him and asked, "You only get to use this trial privilege once a year. Have you settled on someone?"
"I have."
"Alright. I hope you’ll be able to achieve excellent results come the year-end editor evaluations."
"Thank you, Supervisor! I will!" Meimei was brimming with confidence this time.
She believed that Jiang Qiuqiu was sure to make it big!
