Chapter 17: 300,000 fans (1)
The eye-catching message was not an ordinary comment; it would not swipe across the screen quickly. Instead, it would hang on the top of the interactive area for a certain amount of time, according to the money the user had paid. So even if the live broadcast was currently full of people, Jiang Fengchi noticed this slightly perverted request at a glance.
Because some anchors, who relayed on welfare and gifts, would carry out spectators’ demands, it was inevitable that some viewers would use money to make ambiguous requests. And although this broadcast had originally been a fan-orientated event, after ending up on the homepage of the platform, it had been flooded by more or less respectful people, like men who did not pay attention to the trend in the entertainment industry. The first thoughts of those people had been that they were watching a regular anchor and not a trainee in a women’s team draft.
When the production team noticed this message, cold sweat instantly took place on their forehead. They laughed a little embarrassed and said: “No, it’s nothing, let’s ignore it.”
The broadcast was coming to an end, it was obvious they did not want to create any further complications and wanted to let it go. Of course, because Qiao Dai was only a simple contestant, they did not need to take a particular action. Had it been someone more famous, it would have been another story.
But Jiang Fengchi was not happy and his face sank. Although he still sounded polite and restrained, his clear discomfort could clearly be heard: “Excuse me, she is not this kind of person. Please be respectful.”
The user who had originally made the request seemed to be very annoyed and continued to make inappropriate comments, which caused the ambiance in the live broadcast room to suddenly change. The other viewers became furious and despite the few minutes left, Jiang Fengchi made a gesture to the PD and said: “That will be it for today. If the organizers want to ask for the early end, please come ask me directly, I will bear full responsibility.”
His voice was indifferent, with no anger, but the staff felt instantly cold all over. They nodded again and again and hurriedly interrupted the broadcast to prevent the situation from escalating.

“Ah, Qiao Dai was recognized as a female anchor, that’s hilarious.”
The broadcasts of the other dormitories were also coming to an end. Some players were still trying to grab the camera while some others had returned to their room to rest. Jiang Ruowei was one of them.
Jiang Ruowei and Shi Qing were both in class B and had naturally grouped together when the rooms had been divided. The other players were not present; Jiang Ruowei didn’t care whether Shi Qing was there or not and chatted with Lin Lang who had come to visit.
They were watching the broadcast of Class A and its data made Jiang Ruowei very uncomfortable. She could not accept that among all the COCO trainees, only Shi Qing and she had fallen to Class B. It made sense to her that Luan Zhen and Lin Lang were in Class A, but what about Qiao Dai? The sour feeling of jealousy had rapidly grown in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt Qiao Dai did not deserve her rating. After all, it was obviously them who had contributed the most to the dance. But not only Qiao Dai had been lucky to stay in Class A, she had also been able to spend her evening with Jiang Fengchi.
So when she had seen the inappropriate messages, Jiang Ruowei had felt some joy. She had pulled Lin Lang and started to mock Qiao Dai, her tone full of envy.
“Her kind of vase beauty is the one men like, no wonder she will be recognized as this kind of female anchor.”
Because it was getting late, all cameras in the players’ rooms had been turned off. Even so, Lin Lang glanced at the camera and checked it was not working before saying: “Don’t say that, we are all trainees. We need to stay as far as possible from those kinds of rumors, it would be very ugly if it spread out.”
Jiang Ruowei raised her eyebrows and sneered: “I don’t think she can get far anyway. If she is eliminated she might have to go back to the countryside to farm, she might as well…”
“Jiang Ruowei! How can you say that?”
Shi Qing, who had been tidying up her things and burying her head, became angry when she heard Jiang Ruowei. Her face was red but she did not dare to talk too loud, afraid she would attract other players and cause unnecessary problems to Qiao Dai.
Jiang Ruowei was startled by Shi Qing’s shout and dropped her phone. She immediately frowned and yelled back at her roommate: “Why are you even pretending? Do you really think we’re all sisters? Look at Qiao Dai and Luan Zhen go to Class A, do you want to have a good relationship with them? Why are you so fake?”
“You!”
Shi Qing looked at Jiang Ruowei’s aggressive face and did not want to argue with her anymore. Not to mention Lin Lang was there and she was really good at sowing discord. Fighting would have been meaningless and Shi Qing decided to leave and go to Class A’s dormitory to check on Qiao Dai instead.
“Okay, forget it.”
Lin Lang pulled Jiang Ruowei’s hand and motioned her to calm down. At the same time, she couldn’t help but think that if Jiang Ruowei could not keep her mouth shut, she would really get in trouble at some point. She needed to pay attention.
Jiang Ruowei originally wanted to say a few more words but now that Lin Lang had spoken, she gave up and picked up her phone from the ground, ready to continue watching the broadcast and gloat in silence. But as soon as her eyes went back to the screen, she heard Jiang Fengchi say: “Excuse me, she is not this kind of person. Please be respectful.”
Jiang Ruowei’s expression stiffened and she looked at the barrage explode.
[Ah, ah, our Brother Fengchi is so handsome!]
[Ah, I can’t, Brother Fengchi is too strong!]
[How to fall in love with Jiang Fengchi in one second]
[Aaaah, I have no resistance against men who respect women!]
The live broadcast signal was then interrupted and the staff came forward to notify the end of the event.
“It’s not 9 pm, why is it over?”
Jiang Ruowei confirmed the time. Although there were only a few minutes left, she has hoped she could have some more fun. Who knew the broadcast would end so suddenly.
Recalling Jiang Fengchi’s words before it went dark, she frowned and thought with jealousy: Had Jiang Fengchi ended the broadcast just because someone had made some inappropriate comments toward a player? He was such a big star, did he really feel bad about a trainee who had not even debuted?
