Chapter 296: Directly Calling the Boss for Confirmation

The main reason was that lately, far too many people in the fan circles had been posting, "Juju is coming back!"

At first, everyone was excited, but after it happened so many times, it became a "boy who cried wolf" situation. People would just see the posts and move on.

But the person who spoke up this time was credible! The tofu shop owner! Someone who had actually gotten a private message from Juju!

[It’s true! #screenshot#]

[That really is Juju’s ID... So is it going to be tofu tomorrow?]

[Can someone from her official team respond?]

Many people below the post tagged staff from Jiang Qiuqiu’s studio, but at that moment, the branch office staff were in a meeting about tomorrow’s PK battle. The people who managed the fan community weren’t around.

But it didn’t matter if they weren’t around. Everyone was celebrating wildly anyway! They could still get hyped!

[I don’t care if this is real or fake, I’m choosing to believe it! WAAAH, I can eat Juju’s delicious food while I study tomorrow! This is awesome!]

[Finally, I don’t have to just drink Nutrient Liquid by itself! I can drink my Nutrient Liquid while watching the stream!]

[I’m just scared we’re borrowing happiness from tomorrow again. I don’t dare believe anything that’s not an official announcement now.]

[So what if we’re borrowing it? At least we’re happy right now. If it’s true, we get double the happiness. If it’s not, at least we got to be happy for a while, so no worries~]

Many people joined the discussion in the thread, guessing whether the news was real or not. Mei Lin was one of them.

Unlike the others, however, she looked puzzled. She turned to Jiang Jiang beside her and asked, "Do you think this news is real or fake?"

Jiang Jiang shook his head. "Miss, I’m afraid I can’t be the judge of that."

"I can only say that it might be true, or it might be false."

"...Tch." Mei Lin rolled her eyes elegantly. "Couldn’t you have just told me it’s true? Forget it. I won’t ask you. I’ll find out myself."

She skillfully logged into her personal terminal’s contact list and casually tapped Little President Qian’s profile picture.

"Hello, is this Miss Dais?"

"It is," Mei Lin got straight to the point. "I heard Jiang Jiujiu is resuming her streams tomorrow. Is that true?"

"..." He knew there was no other reason she would call. Little President Qian rubbed his forehead. "It’s true."

"!"

Although the female voice on the other end was still level, Little President Qian could clearly feel a jump in her tone. "Thank you for the confirmation. I understand."

Then, with a CLICK, she hung up.

"Got my answer. It’s true."

"It’s been half a month. She’s finally better." Mei Lin huffed, sounding a little disdainful. "So unprofessional. That one streamer—what’s-his-name—streams five times a day, and this one doesn’t even stream once in five days."

During the days Jiang Qiuqiu was away, the food-craving Mei Lin had once graced Wang Henli’s stream with her presence. But after trying it, she felt the data was even worse than the Federation Restaurant’s quality. She went once in secret and never returned.

Jiang Jiang watched her grumble to herself without saying a word, just standing perfectly still with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

A moment later, Mei Lin opened the fan forum again. The thread had already accumulated many replies, and many people in it were still afraid it was just false hope. She huffed lightly and posted a reply: It’s not fake. It’s real.

Given that this account had previously offered a million Star Coins for a dish in the fan circle, and that Mei Lin had also posted news about Jiang Qiuqiu several times during this period, her popularity and visibility were especially high. The moment she posted, many people flocked to tag her, asking if she had gotten some reliable information again.

When too many people started tagging her, Mei Lin just made her own post on her profile.

[The return stream tomorrow is real. Confirmed via phone call.]

——What phone call? Whose phone call?

[#Image# Called their company’s boss.]

——???

——!

——Is this the power of a rich woman? A direct line to the boss! The rich lady with the inside scoop, I love it! I love it!

And so, another wave of excitement erupted.
