Since creating his fan content account, Nan Que had developed the good habit of screen recording. He would occasionally edit videos and upload them to his account to attract traffic for himself and his fellow streamers.
Because the account’s content was quite diverse—aside from his own singing fan videos, he sometimes edited clips of other streamers’ particularly entertaining moments—it had gradually gained a substantial number of followers.
Logging in now, he saw that his follower count had surpassed that of X. Nan Que.
The backend private messages were filled with recruitment offers from various fans’ groups, creating a lively scene.
Nan Que felt as if he’d been stabbed in the chest. It turned out that singing well wasn’t promising—creating entertaining content was the real business for streamers.
With a sigh, he opened his editing software again and imported the screen recording from last night’s scheduling session with Xiao.
Oh right, last night they had done “nude streaming” during their scheduling—completely unprepared—and the screen recording team hadn’t had time to get ready. Xiao was probably going to get criticized today.
Opening the Little Feather No. 8 Group, he found a pinned message about Xiao Ge taking a day off.
Little Feather No. 8 Group:
[Manager Miao Miao: The boss is taking a day off today, everyone feel free to do your own activities~]
[Sudden Wealth: Manager sis, why did Xiao Ge take leave today? Is he not feeling well?]
[Manager Miao Miao: @Sudden Wealth The boss worked late yesterday, just taking a day off today, don’t worry baby]
Nan Que felt he wouldn’t get any real information this way, so he decided to message the manager privately.
[Sudden Wealth: I have last night’s screen recording, manager sis. Do you need it?]
[Manager Miao Miao: ! Oh my god, a savior appears! Yes, yes, yes!]
[Manager Miao Miao: (crying) We got no notice about anything last night, completely blanked out. Could only scavenge from other people’s fan content to get by]
[Manager Miao Miao: Perfect timing—your fan group level is high enough to join the bubble skirt group. Want to add me?]
Nan Que had several Douyin alt accounts but only two WeChat accounts: his main one and one for taking art commissions. After some hesitation, he used his art account to add the manager.
Qin: Hello, I’m Sudden Wealth
Qin: I’ve put the screen recording in cloud storage, it’ll be faster for you to download directly
Miao Miao: Okay baby~ I’ll add you to the fan group now~
Nan Que felt something was odd about this situation. He didn’t even have his own WeChat fan group, yet here he was joining Xiao’s fan group first.
Well, whatever.
It’s for his Lovecast.
Anything done for his Lovecast is right.
Qin: Xiao Ge took leave today, is everything okay?
Qin: He finished quite late yesterday, was he too tired?
Miao Miao: A little bit. When the boss reported in, he said he was going to the hospital to check his throat. Nothing serious, just preventive measures.
Miao Miao: Don’t worry baby~
Qin: Okay, I won’t tell anyone. Hope Xiao Ge recovers quickly.
Miao Miao: Hahaha, you’re so cute baby. Looking at your profile—are you a guy?
Qin: Uh, yes
Miao Miao instantly got excited!
The Little Feathers community was mostly girls. There were some male fans, but most didn’t come often and rarely participated in fan chats. Who would have thought Sudden Wealth was actually a male fan!
And he had seriously leveled up his fan badge to level 12!
A male companion fan!
Must keep him, give him the recognition he deserves!
Little Feather Bubble No. 2 Group:
Manager Miao Miao: Everyone! Little Feathers has gained another male fan!
Manager Kumu: Really? Has he joined the group?
Manager Miao Miao: Let’s welcome Mr. Sudden Wealth @Qin to our humble abode!
Dog Bone Theorem: Welcome male fan Little Feather to the big family!
You Wait Sushi Bar: Welcome our new male fan Little Feathers to the big family!
Nan Que felt his scalp tingling with nervousness.
Whenever he got anxious, he tended to spam stickers.
Qin: (bows)
Qin: (thank you)
Qin: (slips away)
The group chat erupted in laughter.
Miao Miao: Hahaha, it seems Sudden Wealth is a shy baby, everyone tone it down a bit~
While Miao Miao was still grinning widely, Mao Chi Yu from the Fan Content Team suddenly sent her a private message.
Mao Chi Yu: Sister Miao, is this Qin actually Sudden Wealth? Did you add him directly?
Miao Miao: Yeah, he said he recorded the entire session last night. I added him to get the video, and since his fan group level met the requirement, I added him to the group.
Miao Miao: Why? What’s up?
Mao Chi Yu: [Image] Look at the watermark on the image the boss sent the other day
The image Mao Chi Yu sent was the artwork Xiao had commissioned.
Sheng Qing’s artist account was named Qin, and every piece of artwork had his own name watermarked at the bottom.
Mao Chi Yu had specifically cropped out those three letters.
Miao Miao: Coincidence?
Mao Chi Yu: Possibly, never mind, I was just casually asking
If Mao Chi Yu hadn’t mentioned it, Miao Miao might not have noticed, but now that she did, she felt like she’d seen this Qin somewhere before.
She absentmindedly scrolled through her phone and suddenly came across the Assessment Hall’s account.
Then she remembered where she’d seen that name!
The Assessment Hall account would post official photos of candidates who passed each Hall Selection Assessment, along with brief introductions, essentially helping to promote newcomers.
Usually, everyone’s character design art was provided by the company’s artists, so the artist’s name was rarely credited.
Nan Que’s character design art was special—at first glance, the style was different from others’, and it specifically credited the author as himself.
Mao Chi Yu had even complimented it to Miao Miao at the time.
She remembered there was an artist’s watermark on Nan Que’s character design art.
Miao Miao opened the full-size image and, sure enough, there were three clear letters in the bottom right corner—Qin.
“What does this mean?”
“No wonder he had the full recording from last night!”
“So Sudden Wealth in the fan group = Qin = the new artist the boss hired = Nan Que?”
Miao Miao decisively sent a message to Xiao.
Miao Miao: Boss, did you commission the artwork from Teacher Nan Que?
Xiao: Yeah, why? Anything that needs changing?
Miao Miao: No, no, I was just asking
Miao Miao: Boss, um… do you know that Teacher Nan Que… uh… really admires you?
Xiao: Huh? Haha, really? Maybe.
Xiao: By the way, let me tell you—Teacher Nan Que is starting his broadcast next week and will connect with me. I’ll collaborate on some segments, so notify the Little Feathers to come join the fun.
Miao Miao replied gloomily with an “okay” and turned off her phone.
Did the boss know or not…?
Nan Que’s behavior, to put it nicely, could be called obsessive; to put it bluntly, it was like being a spy.
What if he joined the fan group to cause trouble?
It wasn’t that Miao Miao was being paranoid—it’s just that there were too many bad apples in the Voice Hall scene.
Everyone was here to make money, and for the sake of profit, there were plenty of people who acted friendly and respectful on the surface but would stab you in the back without a second thought.
So far, Nan Que had spent real money on the boss, delivered good artwork, and hadn’t caused any trouble since joining the fan group.
Miao Miao edited Qin’s WeChat备注—
Qin (Nan Que’s Alt – Under Observation)
Grand Manager Miao Miao: Vowing to nip the buds of evil forces in the cradle! (A raging fire blazes behind her)
Nan Que remained unaware that her online persona had almost been completely exposed by Miao Miao, currently diligently editing fan-made videos for her Lovecast.
Xiao Ge’s performance of this song yesterday was also wonderful—keep it, keep it. That other song was great too—keep it, keep it.
As for her own clips… she’d just use a few seconds as transition shots!
Still unsatisfied after finishing the video, she photoshopped starry-eyed emojis over all the other Mic Queue positions, emphasizing the main focus.
Opening her “Which Excavator is Strongest” account, she added the tags #FourSeasonsFairyVoiceWinterHall #X.Xiao #MidnightFairyVoice #SoTalented and posted it!
Unable to resist after posting, she admiringly rewatched it several times before reluctantly closing it.
With the Lovecast videos edited, it was time to work on her own.
Nan Que swiftly edited with her “big scissors,” casually added two filters, included the lyrics, tagged it #FourSeasonsFairyVoiceWinterHallNewbie and uploaded it.
Excellent—her editing speed kept improving. Finished in just fifteen minutes, she could even schedule two more shifts tonight!
