Chapter 629: Chapter 648: The Big Shot Group: Unlimited Trust in Juju
[You’re getting off-topic! You’re all getting off-topic!]
[Let’s focus on what’s important—]
It was obviously hard to discuss serious matters in the public comment sections. The real headquarters were in the fan circles and group chats.
This time, things had truly blown up. Every single fan group had exploded with activity, more so than for a New Year’s Eve feast.
That one group chat of influential fans who had once organized support events for Jiang Qiuqiu had resurfaced. Ever since Jiang Qiuqiu’s streams had become intermittent, the chat frequency in the group had dwindled a bit.
But today, everyone was present and accounted for. Everyone had something to say.
[Has he lost his mind? Even I, with my small company, know that when you want to make an example of someone, you don’t kill the golden goose! Is the boss of Federation Live’s brain filled with water?]
[...It’s incomprehensible. Is this Qian Song even comparable to the old Qian Xingxing?]
[Why change the heir?]
[I take back what I said before. I once said that Federation Live’s streaming format was pretty good, that the man in charge, Qian Duoduo, was talented, and that with the new talent they were adding, they might just push the app to the top... and this is the result? This? This heir is just too second-rate.]
[I just realized something. This Qian Song and Qian Xingxing are twins? Are the Qian Family’s twins this fraternal? They don’t look alike at all.]
[Qian Song is uglier?]
[Their IQs don’t seem to match either.]
Many people in this group had seen their fair share of real-life soap operas involving scandalous affairs among their elders and peers. [Don’t tell me they aren’t twins at all? An illegitimate child brought into the family? I remember that the original Qian Xingxing’s mother passed away a long time ago.]
[...No way, right?]
It had to be said, this group had stumbled upon the truth with a single sentence. But after thinking about it, they all felt it was too unlikely. Who would do something so utterly unscrupulous?
[Alright, we’re getting sidetracked.] A boss from Haiyun Star stepped up to take the lead and get things back on track. [Let’s look at the contract situation first. I’ll go find Wanxing later and ask if Juju needs any financial support.]
[To break the contract... I estimate that streaming companies have an N+ compensation formula. Based on Juju’s earnings, the penalty could be in the hundreds of billions.]
[This—]
[I don’t think we need to ask.] A female boss spoke up. [Even if she were really short on money, Juju wouldn’t accept it. She isn’t just breaking her contract; she’s switching platforms, moving to the new app that Qian Xingxing created. I’m guessing the new company will cover the fee. It would be too conspicuous for us to pay it. If we want to help, we’d be better off changing our approach. For example, we could ask if Qian Xingxing’s new app needs an injection of capital.]
[Sister Linglan is right. I also think asking about investment is a better idea.]

[Alright, it seems I, as a man, wasn’t thinking things through enough. No wonder the Lily Clan is so famous for being meticulous. In that case, Lily and I will go make contact. Speaking of which, this isn’t really just ’helping’... Tsk, investing in a streaming company that has Juju... what does that make you all think of?]
[Let me in on this money-making opportunity, big shot!]
[Don’t drive the get-rich-quick car too fast! I want to enjoy the scenery too.]
[Don’t drive the get-rich-quick car too fast +N, I want to take a peek too.]
[Do shareholders get special privileges? I want to get paid in both cash and cuisine!]

There were simply too many people joking around, and the gloomy atmosphere gradually turned festive.
That’s right. To everyone, switching platforms was a small matter. As long as she kept streaming, everything was fine.
They just had to live up to the motto from when the group was first created—
Fly bravely, Juju; we will always follow you.
This was true of the big group chats, and it was true of the small ones too.
And so, that afternoon, just two hours after Jiang Qiuqiu’s post, the download count for New Star on the Star Network saw exponential growth.
It went from a bottom-tier streaming app straight into the ranks of the third-tier platforms, with over two billion downloads.
The entire company was shocked, yet they also felt it was perfectly reasonable.
It was Juju, after all.
The legend of the food streaming world.
