Chapter 68: He Will Present Whatever Award She Gets!
?
“There’s no doubt that he’s a fraud.”
The three roommates, Bingbing, and the school bully all voted for Jiang Xun, naturally. However, these few votes were like a drop in the bucket when compared to the total amount of votes.
Anxious, Tailai asked, “Boss, aren’t you worried?”
Jiang Xun waved a hand dismissively. “It’s fine. I’ve tried my best anyway. Besides, am I not in tenth place? Even being in the top ten is pretty good.”
Bingbing nodded enthusiastically. “That’s right! The Boss has only been active on Shanpin for two months, yet she’s already managed to get into the top ten online celebrity ranking! This is an achievement that no one else can attain!”
The three school tyrants stared at him.
That brat was flattering the boss again!

Qin Yang Corporation.
Chengnan stood in front of Mufeng’s desk and showed his tablet to Mufeng. The tablet screen showed the voting page of the Shanpin celebrity rankings.
“President, Jiang Xun’s ranking has fallen to 11th place,” Chengnan said, “I haven’t seen her asking for votes either. There’s been nothing from her Shanpin and Weibo pages, as if she doesn’t care about this vote at all. However, her ranking isn’t high right now, and she’s being ridiculed by netizens. More and more people are saying that she’s weak. Should we help her?”
“How? Don’t tell me you’re going to mobilize the entire company to vote for her?” Mufeng said unhappily. “She’s not even worried, so why are you?”
That little ingrate, he didn’t care if she was a dog anymore!
Chengnan was dumbfounded at Mufeng’s words. Was this still the same man who would give Jiang Xun gifts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in every one of her livestreams?
Had he missed something? What happened ithat could’ve caused Mufeng to change again?
Sigh…what a fickle man.
“Is that all?” Mufeng sounded as if he was scolding Chengnan for saying something that had nothing to do with work during work hours.
Chengnan was silent for two seconds. “Then I’ll take my leave.”
“Wait.” Mufeng called out to him before he could do so, and Chengnan couldn’t help but inwardly laugh at the fickle man as he turned around and looked back at Mufeng.
“Go and tell Shanpin that I’m going to be a guest this time.” Mufeng’s fingertips knocked on the table twice. “Let them know something.”
That he would be the one to present whatever award Jiang Xun were to win.
Chengnan stared at him incredulously.
Know something?
Know what?!
How could he know what Mufeng was thinking?
Even he, the assistant who had been accompanying the CEO for three years, didn’t understand what he was thinking. Who could expect the Shanpin higher ups to understand?
In the end, Chengnan went out with a head full of question marks.
Back in his office, Mufeng sneered.
Fine then! He’d become a dog if she was going to act that way!
Chengnan contacted Wang Yicheng first. Because he had always been in contact with Yicheng compared to the CEO of Shanpin Media, he had a better rapport with the former.
Not only that, Yicheng was also directly in charge of managing Jiang Xun, so it would be more convenient to get in touch with him.
Unexpectedly, when he heard Chengnan’s words, Yicheng said confidently, “I understand.”
“...Do you really?”
“Yes!” Yicheng was very confident.
“.....”
Chengnan couldn’t help but doubt whether he was still the assistant who knew the CEO the best.

October 30th arrived quickly.
Jiang Xun finished her class at 2:30 pm and changed into the dress she was going to wear for the event, then clicked on a makeup tutorial video and learned how to apply makeup.
She didn’t expect the effect to be quite good.
The three roommates watched her silently. Wasn’t she cutting it a bit close for such an important and grand event.
In order to show that she was serious about such a big event, Jiang Xun had called for a special car and didn’t run to the venue on two legs.
Yicheng waited at the entrance of the venue when she was about to arrive and greeted her with a friendly “Jiang Jiang!” when he saw her.
She didn’t know when he’d started calling her ‘Jiang Jiang’ instead of ‘Jiang Xun’.
“Brother Wang.” After Jiang Xun became familiar with Yicheng, she started referring to him by more casual and friendly terms.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the lounge,” Yicheng said.
“There’s a lounge?” It was Jiang Xun’s first time participating in such an event, so she didn’t know anything about it.
“Of course. You see, the order in which celebrities walk down the red carpet has been decided beforehand, so we can’t just let someone show up in a taxi and walk down the carpet on a first come first served basis,” Yicheng explained with a smile. “Which is why we’ve prepared a lounge for you. When it’s your turn to walk down the carpet, a staff member will come to bring you there.”
Jiang Xun nodded to show that she understood. “So where’s the red carpet?”
“Do you want to go take a look first?” Yicheng asked when he heard that.
Jiang Xun nodded. In reality, she was afraid that she would get lost again. If she familiarized herself with it in advance, she would at least have some idea of where the carpet would be.
…Of course, even if she saw it in advance, she might not be able to remember it, but it was better than not knowing anything.
“Well, there’s still a lot of time.” Yicheng looked at his phone. “Let’s go. I’ll bring you to take a look.”
He brought her to the red carpet and pointed at a door. “Look, that’s the entrance to the red carpet, leading straight to the lounge. There will be a staff member bringing you out from that door, so you can just walk straight to the red carpet.”
Yicheng then pointed to the big screen at the end of the red carpet. “This screen will show the number of fans watching online in real time. All of it will be taken directly from Shanpin’s website, so it will be slightly different from what the fans see on the livestream.”
“In addition, when the fans watch the livestream, the total amount of gifts given to you will also be displayed on the gift list on the right side of the screen in real time.” Yicheng pointed at the right side of the screen. “The gifts will be displayed on the bullet screen to show what gifts are given by who. The gift list will also show the celebrities’ names so that after the livestream ends, we can give you your gifts in accordance with the ratio agreed on in the contract.”
Jiang Xun looked at the screen. It had already been turned on a while ago, and some people were currently making some adjustments to the display. She curled her lips and said, “Shanpin is really good at stirring the pot!”
When the fans saw that the internet celebrities they supported were actually lagging behind others, how embarrassing would that be? Naturally, when the time came, they would go all out to give gifts to their favorite celebrities so that their name would be at the top.
If there was a rival, it would be even more amazing. The fans would definitely not let their favorite celebrity lose. Not only that, if one was to give gifts during a livestream, their username would appear on screen. How embarrassing would it be to have your username displayed for everyone to see?
Shanpin had really grasped the hearts of the fans.
Yicheng’s face twitched. She was saying what she saw straight to him, the manager of Shanpin!
In the end, he brought Jiang Xun all the way to the end of the red carpet. “When the time comes, someone will guide you. From here, you can enter the Inner Court.”
After that, Yicheng brought Jiang Xun to the lounge.
The lounge was actually very simple; it was similar to a waiting room. Rows of chairs were placed there, and there were a few buffet tables with small sandwiches, biscuits, and the like on them.
After walking down the red carpet, the award ceremony would immediately begin, so no one would have enough time to properly sit down and eat a proper dinner. They would have to fill their stomachs with these instead.
