The sky grew darker. Outside the venue, all-natural light had vanished.
In the pure white snow, the only lights ca from nearby hos and patrolling cha.
The fans waiting at ho were also starting to get a little anxious.
’It’s almost seven-thirty! Why isn’t anything happening?!’
Inside Jiang Jiujiu’s fan group:
[Why hasn’t it started? I’m getting so antsy.]
[I’m looking forward to it too T_T Couldn’t they have started the stream a little earlier? I can’t wait to see my Juju in HD.]
[Insider info: I heard this year’s Most Popular Gold Award winner gets an extra performance!]
[!!!]
[The Most Popular Gold Award? Isn’t that our Juju? Whoa, we get to see Juju perform today?]
The group chat instantly exploded with activity. Everyone jumped into a guessing ga, trying to figure out what Jiang Jiujiu would perform tonight.
[@Wanxing What’s the point of us guessing! Ask the insider!]
[@Wanxing!]
Wanxing: ...
Wanxing: I’m not sure either, but rumor has it they’re setting up a massive pot at the venue. Qiuqiu is going to cook on the spot and stream it live! She’ll be making hundreds of servings, and it seems like everyone will have a chance to get so.
Wanxing saw that everyone was getting tired of waiting and decided to joke around with them, but unexpectedly—
[For real?!]
[!!? OMG, I’m dying! Juju didn’t ntion this before. Was it ant to be a surprise for us?]
[The streaming company really gets it. They know what we want to see.]
[@Wanxing Do you have any other insider info? How big is the pot? Is it, like, ridiculously huge? And how many servings is "hundreds"? A hundred and what?]
[@Wanxing What’s on the nu tonight? Can you give us a hint?]
A flood of people piled on.
Wanxing: ...
Wanxing: ! Wait, I was joking! It’s not true.
[???]
[Fake news? We got excited for nothing?]
[That’s so an! My mouth was already watering, and you’re telling to swallow it back down.]
Wanxing was exasperated for a mont. "It’s the annual gala today. Everyone’s in formal wear. Juju will probably show up in a gown, too. There’s no way she’d be cooking."
Just as everyone was busy chatting, soone suddenly chid in.
[Quiet! The stream’s starting!]
[The Federation stream is live!]
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Federation’s official broadcast finally went live. The first thing that appeared on screen was a long red carpet and tonight’s host.
"Hello, everyone, and welco to the official Federation live broadcast of the annual gala! I’m your host, Xixi. Tonight’s strears will be making their entrance shortly. I wonder who you all at ho are waiting for?"
"Oh, I see a lot of you are asking about Xiong Xin and Jiang Jiujiu. It looks like these two young strears are very popular!"
"There’s the bell! Without further ado, let’s have the staff pull the cara robot back. The annual gala has officially begun!"
The cara robot instantly pulled back, giving the waiting crowd and fans a full view of the red carpet.
On one end of the red carpet stood the host in front of a giant poster. On the other, beautiful figures approached with graceful poise.
Music swelled as the entrance ceremony officially began. The host stood by the stage and announced, "And now, approaching the carpet, we have the strears from our comntary division, You Yu and Qingcao—"
The organizers had arranged the order so that the less prominent strears went first. The further back in the lineup, the larger the strear’s fanbase. After all the strears had walked the carpet, a few major guests and the editors-in-chief from branch companies would make their entrance together.
As one of this year’s major nas, Jiang Qiuqiu’s spot was, therefore, near the end of the lineup.
Of course, the timing of her appearance wasn’t important, and Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t care about such things. What she did find surprising was that the officials had actually scheduled her to walk the red carpet with Chen Yu.
