Сhарtеr 24: Тhe Fu Family Рrivаte Bаnquet
Thе mаn dеlivеring thе mеal wаs nоnе оther than Fu Siуan’s assistant.
Hаving wоrked fоr his bоss fоr twо уeаrs, hе hаd never sееn his emрloyer invitе anуone to а privаte bаnquеt beforе. When he answеrеd thе рhone аnd lеаrnеd the reсipiеnt was a lаdy, he dаred not shоw the slightest negligеnсе.
Jiang Fu аrrivеd at the doоr and орened it tо find a yоung man stаnding tаll аnd straight, drеssed in a suit аnd wearing whitе glоvеs, quietly holding an intricately саrved wooden bох at the entrаnсe.
“Hello, I’m Jiang Fu,” she introduced herself politely.
Upon hearing this, the young man immediately handed the food box to Jiang Fu. After getting a clear look at Jiang Fu’s appearance, he was inwardly astonished, but he maintained his composure without any improper behavior.
“Hello, Miss Jiang. You can call me Xiao Du. I’m Mr. Fu’s assistant. I hope you enjoy your meal. Dessert and fruit will follow shortly. Once you’ve finished, please call the number from earlier, and I’ll bring them up for you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Fu nodded with a light smile, took the food box from the young man, and said:
“Then I’ll trouble you.”
Returning to the rest area, Jiang Fu seemed to have gained some important information, as she once again clicked on Fu Siyan’s WeChat profile picture.
City A was coastal. As Jiang Fu looked at the sea in Fu Siyan’s profile picture, the more she looked, the more she felt it was City A. Since Xiao Du had just mentioned he was Fu Siyan’s assistant, didn’t that mean Fu Siyan was also in City A?
Thinking this way, the reason Fu Siyan could see the Mengyu livestream was likely due to same-city recommendations.
With this deduction, Jiang Fu wasn’t in a hurry to seek confirmation from Fu Siyan. After all, she wasn’t planning to meet Big Brother offline or anything like that. Although hearing Fu Siyan’s “good morning” voice message earlier made him seem quite young, since he hadn’t mentioned meeting even once, there was no need for her to rush.
Jiang Fu opened the WeChat camera, took a photo of the food box placed on the table, and added the caption: Received Big Brother’s delivery!
After sending the message to Fu Siyan, Jiang Fu thanked her fans on the public screen as usual before exiting Tremolo.
Opening the food box, what appeared before Jiang Fu were four dishes, a soup, and a serving of caviar.
Aside from the caviar, which Jiang Fu had seen before, she didn’t recognize any of the other dishes.
By now, almost everyone present had noticed the food box Jiang Fu had brought in—it was too exquisite to be ordinary takeout.
Today, Jiang Fu had no intention of hiding anything. If anyone asked, she would answer truthfully; if no one asked, she wouldn’t flaunt it either.
Calmly finishing her lunch, Jiang Fu experienced for the first time what it meant to have her taste buds treated to the ultimate delight.
Shortly after, Jiang Fu called Xiao Du. Before she could even speak, he proactively said, “Miss Jiang, the fruit and dessert will be brought up soon. I’ll wait for you at the door as before.”
After collecting the fruit and dessert, Jiang Fu didn’t forget about Zhou Jingze either. Opening WeChat, she politely inquired:
[Have you had lunch yet, Big Brother?]
Since Zhou Jingze’s account was always active in the livestream and he interacted with Jiang Fu in the comments, the two had never privately chatted before.
Seeing Jiang Fu’s message, Zhou Jingze put down his bowl and chopsticks, pouting his lips in a slight sulk before typing:
[I thought you’d forgotten about me]
Jiang Fu realized that Zhou Jingze sometimes acted like a little boy, craving attention.
[Fu: I was just eating, of course I didn’t forget you, Big Brother. Are you angry with me?]
Seeing Jiang Fu’s message, Zhou Jingze chuckled foolishly before typing:
[Not angry, just feeling a bit sad because it seemed like someone forgot about me]Jiang Fu saw his reply but didn’t follow his lead. Instead, she countered:
【Since you’re not angry, why didn’t you answer my question?】
Zhou Jingze was momentarily stumped by Jiang Fu. Thinking about it, he realized he really hadn’t answered Fu Fu, so he quickly replied that he was eating and hadn’t intentionally ignored her, adding a cute sticker.
The aunt cleaning up the dishes nearby noticed Zhou Jingze smiling at his phone one moment and pouting the next, thinking to herself that her boss might be a bit off—had all those late nights addled his brain?
After finishing her chat with Zhou Jingze, Jiang Fu saw that Shi Yu was still on stage and guessed she wouldn’t have time to go up today. She opened Taobao on her phone and started shopping.
First, she replaced all her skincare products with high-end luxury brands, then picked out a few elegant, non-revealing dresses and qipaos to wear during her livestreams.
Although the company provided outfits, they were often too short and prone to wardrobe malfunctions, and the quality was poor—it was all up to Jiang Fu’s face to carry the look.
Next, she bought a few pairs of comfortable sneakers and some everyday clothes. As for formal dresses or outfits for more important occasions, Jiang Fu planned to shop offline.
Besides these, she also purchased a robot vacuum, a dishwasher, and a large-screen projector.
With her shopping spree temporarily over, Momo was now dancing on stage, and the time had reached 2:30. Only half an hour remained before Jiang Fu’s second day of livestreaming ended.
Currently, in Group B, neither Momo nor Bai Qian had achieved a 10-Winning Streak. Shi Yu had reclaimed a 10-Winning Streak in her final session, while Jiang Fu had a 50-Winning Streak.
After the livestream ended, the four gathered in the meeting room for a review.
“Today is the second day of broadcasting, and everyone’s progress is evident,” Zhu Lu began, addressing the four.
“Momo, you need to interact more in the public chat. Speaking less than five times in an entire livestream—how are you supposed to boost your presence?”
“Bai Qian, your dancing still needs more practice. I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of comments criticizing your moves, right?”
“As for Shi Yu, your current mindset is off. Is Shi Li Qingfeng the only person worth your attention? Not even a word of thanks—your approach is a bit disheartening!”
After summarizing the shortcomings of the three, Zhu Lu turned her gaze to Jiang Fu. “Fu Fu, your potential is outstanding. It’s clear that both Brother S and Ze Hui really like you now. Do you have a plan for balancing the relationship between the two?”
