Chapter 39: A Sweet Cake for a Sweet You

"You all got here so fast." Jiang Qiuqiu was still adjusting her camera. "I’m Jiang Jiujiu, and welcome to my stream."

#Juju’s finally here!#

#Did she come on at this time because of all the messages we sent!?#

#Is Juju online now to talk about switching platforms, or is she going to keep streaming on the Federation’s platform?#

Everyone had so many questions. Jiang Qiuqiu told her fans not to worry. "I’m streaming right now to clear all of these things up."

"Don’t worry, everyone. Let’s wait a bit for the fans who didn’t get the news to join the stream, and then I’ll explain everything slowly."

"If you’ve organized any activities on the forums or in your fan circles, you can have everyone stop for now and come to the stream."

Someone immediately went to a forum thread and left a comment: #Stop sending messages! Go to the stream! Juju is online!#

After waiting for nearly five minutes, the number of viewers in the stream slowly climbed. Once it was a little over a hundred thousand, Jiang Qiuqiu felt that was enough people and began to explain.

She started by expressing her thanks.

"My editor just sent me a message and told me about how you were all sending inquiries to the customer service department. Thank you all so much." Jiang Qiuqiu bowed slightly, the lower half of her face flashing past the camera for a moment.

#???#

#A glimpse of her face! So pretty!#

#No need to thank us, Juju! You don’t have to be so formal!#

"It’s not about being formal, it’s about being grateful. Thank you all for fighting on the front lines for me."

"Since you all got involved, you have the right to know what’s going on, so I won’t hide it from you." The matter was actually simple—she had offended someone and her contract had been blocked. "My previous contract signing was rejected."

#???#

#Even *your* contract can be rejected? Are they blind?!#

"I was originally planning to switch platforms since I’d offended someone. But just in the last couple of days, my branch got a new supervisor who resolved the corruption issues left by the previous one, and my contract went through smoothly."

#So does that mean Juju will keep streaming on the Federation platform from now on?#

"That’s right. I’m staying."

#That’s awesome!!!#

#I can drool over Juju every day!#

#I was already getting ready to learn how to use those crappy streaming apps! It’s so much better that you’re staying. I’ve been using the Federation’s platform for over ten years, so I’m used to it!#

#Awesome!#

"You guys are the awesome ones."

Jiang Qiuqiu sat down. Instead of facing the camera directly, she gazed out the window. "I never thought that just by making a few dishes, I would receive so much love from everyone."

#What is she saying? What do you mean *just* making food!?!?!?#

#Have more confidence! Your cooking is super delicious and has captured the hearts of all us foodies!#

#Juju’s food brings people joy!#

#Ever since I started watching your streams, my stress levels have gone way down. Seriously.#

#Yeah, I watch after training. If I’m lucky enough to snag a taste-testing spot, it feels like all the day’s exhaustion just disappears.#

#Juju is my source of happiness!#

#Source of happiness +1#

#Source of happiness +n#

Everyone chimed in to champion Jiang Qiuqiu, declaring that her culinary skills were exquisite and brought people endless joy!

The endless stream of compliments touched Jiang Qiuqiu’s heart. She sighed softly, "You all say the sweetest things."

"Originally, I wasn’t planning on cooking today. I was going to take a day off."

#Then go rest!#

#You’re still a young lady, you can’t be staying up late every night!#

#Waaaah, I’m sad I won’t get to eat anything today, but I’m happy knowing I can tomorrow!#

"No, no, no. Since I’m already here and the stream is already on, I can’t have you all show up for nothing."

"Today’s item isn’t from the menu. It’s an after-dinner dessert: cake."

With that, Jiang Qiuqiu disabled all the paid features on her stream. Her voice filled with laughter as she said, "Everything tonight is free. A sweet cake for all of you sweet people."

After saying that, she went into the kitchen.

The bullet chat immediately flooded with impassioned fans.

#Ahhh, I love her, I love her! What kind of angel is Juju!#

#Juju is the best!#
