Chapter 639: Chapter 658: Miss Meilin’s Concern for Qiuqiu
The first person to step up for Jiang Qiuqiu was Mei Lin.
So much had happened recently. Mei Lin had sent a message to check in on Jiang Qiuqiu.
She never would have thought that so much could happen with the Qian Family.
’What the hell.’
’Uncle Qian must be either crazy or senile. And those nobodies, Qian Song and Qian Xingxing... they don’t know how to pick their battles either.’
’Of course, none of this had anything to do with her.’
’She was just a little worried about Jiang Qiuqiu.’
’A tiny, minuscule amount.’
She went over to the Mecha Single Soldier System to ask how Jiang Qiuqiu was doing, but she missed her every time. Once, she bumped into Jiang Qiuqiu’s roommate, who told her that Jiang Qiuqiu was training like a madwoman.
’This—’
It left Mei Lin wondering if this was just routine training, or if she was channeling her grief and anger into motivation.
She couldn’t quite grasp the mindset of a commoner and didn’t want to pry. After all, a proper young lady wouldn’t go poking at someone’s wounds.
She stared at her terminal, her mind a blank.
"Jiang Jiang, what do you think I should say in this message?"
"Should I just ask her how she’s been?"
"Won’t she think I’m weird?" Mei Lin muttered. "It’s not like we’re that close."
Jiang Jiang was already an expert in the art of conversation with Mei Lin. His gaze was gentle. "How could that be? You and Miss Jiang have met. Besides, Miss Jiang knows who you are, and you even follow each other on the Star Network."
"It’s perfectly normal to show some concern at a time like this."
"I suppose you’re right." Reassured, she stopped agonizing over it and turned her attention back to the matter at hand.
’What in the world happened? I told Uncle Qian to fix it, so how did it end up like this?’
At that moment, Jiang Qiuqiu was still training. She didn’t see the message until she left the training room.
—It’s nothing. Just some internal company decisions. I’m fine, didn’t have to pay anything, and we parted ways peacefully.
[Oh, was it that Qian Song guy who forced you out? Need me to teach him a lesson?]
The comment was surprisingly cute.
So cute that Jiang Qiuqiu was at a loss for words.
Mei Lin seemed to realize her question was a bit out of line, as she quickly deleted it and rephrased: [Did your departure from the Federation Live Broadcast Company have anything to do with that Qian Song?]
—It’s somewhat related, but he wasn’t the main reason.
[Oh.]
She seemed to have an epiphany: [I get it now.]
"..."
’It seems some kind of violent incident still took place.’
Chatting with Jiang Qiuqiu wasn’t as awkward as Mei Lin had imagined. She discovered that Jiang Qiuqiu seemed to have a natural warmth about her. Of course, it was also possible that Mei Lin herself was projecting a "halo of amiability" onto her simply because she loved her cooking.
In any case, toward the end of their chat, Mei Lin asked Jiang Qiuqiu what the new app was like and if she would have trouble getting used to it.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s response was quite interesting: "The process for live streaming is the same everywhere. I should actually be asking you that question, Miss Meilin. If you switch to the New Star app, will you find it hard to get used to?"
"After all, the users are the foundation of any app."
But Mei Lin couldn’t answer that question at the time. She had only just downloaded New Star; there weren’t many streamers on it, and she hadn’t really used it yet.
Still, she promised she would answer Jiang Qiuqiu’s question.
[After your first stream. I’ll be able to give you feedback then.]
—Okay, I’ll be waiting for your feedback, Miss Meilin.
[Mhm.]
It seemed there was nothing more to say.
Mei Lin scrolled through the chat history, then suddenly patted Jiang Jiang, who was beside her. "How does she manage to sound so cute even when she’s typing?"
"I’ve realized she’s way more gentle and cute than a lot of the noble girls I know."
"Don’t you think?"
