Chapter 27

Ming Mei walked out of the supervisor’s office in a daze.

She had aspirations to become the next-generation contact editor for the editing department, working hard to discover new anchors, but… an invisible hand blocked her path.

Wasn’t the Federal Livestream known as the fairest platform? Why did such a situation arise?

The supervisor clearly mentioned that Jiang Qiuqiu had the potential, yet the contract was still rejected. The reason for the rejection wasn’t disclosed, but at this point, Ming Mei could guess.

This speculation was confirmed in the company’s tea room. At that moment, she was absent-mindedly sitting in a booth in the tea room, contemplating whether to message Jiang Qiuqiu.

Familiar voices next door echoed, not bothering to control their volume, and their words were audacious.

“Why is that new girl so listless today? She looks lifeless all of a sudden.”

“Ah, it’s because she’s too young.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

The female voice laughed for a while, casually saying, “She found a livestreamer who only knows how to cook, a poor thing blocking the path of the young miss.”

“Doesn’t that mean she’ll be at the bottom again in the year-end performance evaluation?”

“Maybe, but let’s just talk about her this year.”

“How come?”

“If she hits rock bottom again, she’ll be game over. She’ll be erased from the editing department in the future.”

The two in the next booth laughed heartily.

Ming Mei clenched her fist.

Feeling unsafe at the company, she took a short break, went home, and sent a communication to Jiang Qiuqiu.

But Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t respond.

She speculated that Jiang Qiuqiu might be cooking at the moment, so she didn’t rush and waited for a reply.

At noon, the communication rang.

A clearer voice than in the livestream room entered Ming Mei’s ears. As a professional habit, she analyzed the voice: soft, gentle, suitable for a bedtime livestream. It would probably be marketable with some interesting stories.

“Hello, is this Ming Mei, the editor?”

“Yes, is this Jiang Jiujiu?”

“Why did you suddenly send a communication? Is there something wrong?”

This matter is a bit complicated. Ming Mei fell silent for a moment, not speaking. On the other side, Jiang Qiuqiu felt a slight heaviness and asked, “Is there an issue with the contract?”

“… Yes.”

“From your tone, it seems it’s not about changing the split.”

“I… you might not be able to sign with the Federal Livestream platform.”

Jiang Qiuqiu noticed that the editor used ‘you can’t sign with the platform’ instead of ‘you can’t sign with me.’ So she asked, “What happened?”

Ming Mei repeated the discourse about offending a young miss, “You seem to have blocked someone’s path in the same zone, and she blacklisted you in the editing department.”

“Blacklisted?” She was actually blacklisted by someone she had never heard of before?

And that person’s power was really significant.

Originally, Ming Mei thought that if she missed Jiang Qiuqiu, she could find a solution for her, get a more powerful editor, and contact her senior sister, a highly influential editor in the platform. She wanted her to guide Jiang Qiuqiu.

But after the senior sister checked the file, she directly rejected her, saying, “This livestreamer is a pity.”

Clearly, that young miss wasn’t an ordinary aristocrat.

Not a small aristocrat-someone with such extended influence must be a top-tier aristocrat-

Ming Mei was just an ordinary interstellar free person, unable to resist such aristocrats. She could only compromise.

And she consoled Jiang Qiuqiu to compromise as well, “The aristocrat took action. You won’t be able to stay on this livestream platform.”

A decisive conclusion.

The communication ended, and Jiang Qiuqiu felt a chill for a while.

But soon, she regained her fighting spirit. All roads lead to Rome. If this one doesn’t work, then the next one will. (“All roads lead to Rome” – means that there are multiple paths or methods to achieve a particular objective, and if one approach fails, there are always alternative routes to try.)

Change! The Federal Livestream is too noble; she can’t afford it. She’ll directly engage the next powerful editor!
