Chapter 472: Chapter 491: Federation Livestreaming’s Year 5355
Because of the considerable difference in their rankings, Jiang Qiuqiu and Chen Yu were seated quite far apart after entering the venue.
Just before they reached the hall, Chen Yu asked again, “Is tonight still okay?”
“Yes, aren’t we checking into the Star Hotel next door after this? I can borrow their kitchen, or we can wait until tomorrow and go—”
“No, let’s not wait for tomorrow. I’ll go talk to the staff about it.” Chen Yu looked very eager. “By the way, do I get to choose the dishes? I pick six, right?”
“That’s right,” Jiang Qiuqiu said, then added, “Don’t pick anything that takes too long. It’s getting late.”
He hummed in agreement. Chen Yu’s eagerness seemed to temper his usually refined, almost ethereal eyebrows, lending him a much more down-to-earth air.
But Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t mind this human touch. With a smile, she checked the seating chart, found her spot, and sat down.
People were still entering, so it would probably be a little while longer before the event officially began.
While she was waiting, Meimei sent Jiang Qiuqiu a few messages.
Meimei: [Screenshot] [Screenshot] Qiuqiu, you’re trending so hard right now.
Meimei: [Screenshot] I’m not gonna lie, just looking at the pictures, you and Chen Yu have some serious chemistry.
Jiang Qiuqiu: He’s not my type.
Meimei: Too soft?
Jiang Qiuqiu: I like them taller, and a little fiercer-looking.
Who she was referring to was quite clear.
Meimei: How are things on your end? I’m so bored over here.
Jiang Qiuqiu: ?
After Jiang Qiuqiu sent the question mark, it was a while before she got a reply.
Meimei: I just saw Chairman Qian, Little President Qian, and his long-lost brother. The brother and Chairman Qian seem to be getting along really well… Also, they don’t look like twins at all.
Meimei: Little President Qian suddenly seems a bit angry.
Meimei: Can’t talk now. Something’s up over here.
From Meimei’s brief messages, Jiang Qiuqiu could roughly piece together what was happening. She typed a few lines to send, but after a moment’s thought, decided against it.
Just then, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed. The seats around her were all full, and the executives and guests who had been walking the red carpet had also taken their places.
In the darkness, several hosts took the stage. A dozen or so camera robots rose into the air to film. The main part of the annual gala had truly begun.
“Here we are again, another year has passed.”
“Time really flies, doesn’t it?”
“Let’s shine a light on our streamers now—” As the host finished speaking, the main lights came on. The camera robots swiveled, and the faces of the streamers in the front row immediately appeared on the screen. The host exclaimed, “Wow! It’s been a year, and there are so many new faces in the very front row.”
“Clearly, a lot can change in a year.”
The cameras swept across the crowd, and the hosts announced in unison, “And now, to kick off the gala, let’s take a look back at the major events for the Federation Live Broadcast Company in the year 5355!”
With that, they all stepped aside, and the large screen, which had been showing a live feed of the audience, quickly switched to a new image.
In the darkness, a scroll slowly unfurled on the screen, bearing the words: Year 5355.
The hosts’ segue was quite smooth, and the scene change felt very high-end. The audience in the venue was impressed, as were the fans watching the live broadcast.
[Wow, I honestly only tuned in for my idol. I thought these company galas were always super boring, but the Federation Live broadcast is actually pretty interesting!]
[This opening has some real style!]
Of course, there were the analysts, and there were the fans.
[WAAAH! The camera just swept past and I saw my boy! Last year he was in the second row, and this year he’s in the front row!]
[My Juju is center stage! Truly center stage!]
Amidst a flood of scrolling comments, the hosts began to recount the story of the Federation Live Broadcast Company’s year 5355.
