Young Master Qin Keeps Coveting Me After I Beat Him Up

Chapter 69: We’ll Show Up After Jiang Xun Is Done Translation

When Jiang Xun arrived, there were already quite a number of people sitting there and chatting with each other. For many of them, it wasn’t their first time coming here, so they were familiar with each other. However, this was Jiang Xun’s first time at such an event, so she didn’t know anyone here.

Upon seeing Yicheng personally bring someone in, everyone looked over curiously. This newcomer looked somewhat familiar to them.

“Jiang Xun?”Someone recognized her.

Yicheng smiled and introduced Jiang Xun to everyone. While she might not necessarily be familiar with them, at least she wouldn’t be too lonely and have to sit alone.

“This is Vnknown. He’s the most popular internet celebrity on our platform,” Yicheng introduced. “When the voting started a week ago, he had more than 30 million fans, but now he has almost 50 million fans. He’s also an Internet celebrity signed on with our company.”

Vnknown was tall, big and slightly built. His voice was very clear and so was his speech. “Aw, come on, you’ve already promoted me once today. I’ll get embarrassed.”

In the beginning, when he’d first started out, he would upload commentary videos and review movies. At the time, his editing and commentary methods were still underdeveloped, but what had helped him to stand out and draw more fans in was his voice.

It was hard to tell that he would be so big and tall from just listening to his voice.

“Jiang Xun is much better than me. It took me two years to build up my fans,but she already has more than ten million fans in two months,” Vnknown said with a smile.

Jiang Xun could tell that there was no sarcasm in his words. He was genuinely impressed.

“Hey, I’m going to go do some work first. Help me take care of Jiang Xun,” Yicheng said to Vnknown. After that, he turned to Jiang Xun and said, “Don’t worry, just follow V around. He’s reliable.”

Vnknown scratched his head sheepishly. “Oh, then go do that. Leave Jiang Xun to me. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of her.”

After that, Yicheng left with a smile.

Everyone in the room had witnessed how much Yicheng valued Jiang Xun. They were curious about Jiang Xun’s background and as to why Wang Yicheng, the general manager of Shanpin, was personally heading her.

The people who came weren’t all people who were signed on with Shanpin. There were also many people from other companies.

However, based on Yicheng’s attitude toward Jiang Xun, they were especially enthusiastic toward her.

Some people even tried to find out where she came from and why Wang Yicheng had personally escorted her here.

Vnknown said, “Oh right, Jiang Xun, we started the event early and didn’t have enough time to eat. Since the company has prepared some snacks for us, would you like some? The event will likely end late, so if you don’t eat a little, you might get hungry later on.”

Jiang Xun had been thinking about the food for a long time. She quickly nodded and said, “I’ll go and eat something. You guys can chat first.”

After saying that, Jiang Xun went to the buffet table and started eating. After tasting everything on the buffet table once, she started to focus on eating her favorite food.

Seeing her behavior, the system said, “Host, you’ve changed. In the past, you weren’t picky about food at all. You’d always say that ‘Having something to eat is good enough’.”

“That’s because I didn’t have the luxury of choosing what to eat in the past. Now that I have a choice, why wouldn’t I go for the food I like the best? Why do I have to put myself through so much hardship?” she said in response.

Now that she could freely pick which foods she liked to eat, she took the opportunity to fill herself up. It didn’t take long for her to polish off a few plates of food.

There were quite a few female internet celebrities present, and they looked at Jiang Xun strangely, their faces more or less filled with disdain.

“Is she here for the event or to freeload?”

“She’s not afraid of eating until her belly pops out.”

“How many times will she have to go to the bathroom during the awards ceremony?”

At this moment, the red carpet event was about to begin. A staff member came over to get them ready.

Yicheng greeted Jiang Xun, who was at the back of the line.

The more popular a celebrity was, the further back they would be in the queue. By doing this, fans who wanted to see their favorite celebrity walk down the red carpet would keep watching the livestream and refuse to leave.

This was how the number of viewers rose.

Hearing this, Jiang Xun once again raised an eyebrow at Shanpin’s shady practices.

“Lin Youyan!” A staff member came in, shouting and searching for the person in question. At this moment, there were not many people in the waiting room. With a glance, they could confirm that Lin Youyan was not there.

“Isn’t Lin Youyan here yet?” the staff member asked anxiously.

As the biggest Internet celebrity with the highest number of fans and the highest popularity among everyone here, Vnknown was ranked last among the internet celebrities.

Shanpin had also invited a few popular mainstream celebrities to warm up the venue.

Hearing the staff member’s words, Vnknown said, “I haven’t seen her all this time. Why don’t you call her manager?”

“It’s her turn to walk the red carpet next, but she hasn’t arrived yet. What is she doing?” The staff member grumbled and called Lin Youyan’s manager.

Her manager picked up the phone. There was a paper on her lap which listed down what order the celebrities would be walking out onto the red carpet.

She looked out of the window, saying, “We’re still stuck in traffic.”

Their car was currently at the entrance of the venue. From this angle, they could see a corner of the red carpet.

“I’m really sorry. We didn’t expect the traffic to be so heavy.” The manager’s gaze was cold as she said, “Why don’t you let everyone else go first?”

“Where exactly are you now?” the staff member asked.

“We’re about three traffic lights away,” the manager said casually. “We’ve been waiting for 10 minutes just to get past this traffic light. The traffic is really bad. I’m really sorry. We’ll rush over as soon as possible. If we really can’t make it, I’ll ask Youyan to get out of the car and walk over.”

The staff member couldn’t say anything else about that. “There’s nothing we can do about the traffic jam. Hurry up. If you really can’t make it in time, just enter from the Inner Court.”

After hanging up, the manager said, “Just wait a little longer. Jiang Xun is next. We’ll show up after she’s done.”

Lin Youyan held her manager’s arm affectionately. “Sister Lin, you always have a way.”

“The staff member told us to go straight into the inner court if we couldn’t make it in time.” Sister Lin smirked. “But why would we? You dressed up beautifully today for the sole purpose of walking on the red carpet.”

“Since this is your first appearance offline, you have to make a strong debut,” Sister Lin said with a smile. “I’ve seen all the internet celebrities that are participating this year, especially the female ones. There’s still a big gap between myself and those in the video, and I’m far from being comparable to you. Our goal this time is not to make a stunning appearance on them, but to compete with them.”

“They’ve invited quite a few female celebrities to this event. As long as you stand together with them and your looks hold up, we can take the opportunity to develop into the entertainment industry.” Sister Lin patted Youyan’s hand. “Don’t set your sights just on internet fame, especially since you’re also a top student from Beijing University. With that kind of background going for you, it’d be like adding wings to a tiger.”

“So, you don’t have to keep paying attention to Jiang Xun.” Sister Lin had never taken Jiang Xun seriously. “She’s just a stepping stone in your career.”
