chapter 206 - The Butler and the Young Lady
Jiang Qiuqiu and Ming Mei were arranging the next steps.
“I never expected things to develop in this direction…” Ming Mei was also surprised. “I’ve been in this circle for so many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen public opinion leaning so heavily.”
“Speaking of which, Qiuqiu, now that things have come to this point, what about our previous plans?” The studio originally formulated an operational plan regarding Wang Henry.
But now…
“Too much of a good thing.” Jiang Qiuqiu swung on the swing. “He’s been in a mess lately; it’s not even interesting to step in.”
“And isn’t the PK about to begin? We’re in the same zone, and he’s labeled as the top food streamer; we’ll meet again sooner or later.”
“True.” Ming Mei nodded. “Then let’s take a break for now.”
“By the way! Before we discuss business, let me ask you something about tonight’s live stream. What dish are you planning to cook?” Ming Mei glanced at the man frowning while dealing with things in the office, whispering, “It’s a question from Xiao Qian.”
“Tonight…,” Jiang Qiuqiu pondered.
“It should be a fish dish.”
“Is it sour and spicy fish?”
“No,” Jiang Qiuqiu smiled, “Recently, everyone has been dealing with trolls online, so let’s go for something light.”
“It’s fish ball soup.”

On the other side, Miss Mei Lin, who had just attended a socialite gathering, came to hear Jiang Jiang’s report again.
“Regarding that incident on Star Network, where that streamer with the surname Wang got his agent to take the blame, do we need to intervene?”
“No need,” Mei Lin sneered, “Helping that commoner deal with those foul-mouthed people was charity enough. I’m not a philanthropist to handle the aftermath.”
Her tone was noticeably different from usual, so Jiang Jiang thought for a moment and asked, “Did something happen at today’s ball? You don’t seem very happy.”
“Hmph,” Mei Lin huffed, “I’m never going to another socialite ball of this level again.”
“I went to the ball today, and someone dared to accuse me of extravagance… Is it extravagant to spend 1.9 billion on a studio?”
“For someone like Miss, it’s just a small part of your assets.”
“I attend these events to receive praise, but all these women did from start to finish was criticize my spending.” Mei Lin rolled her eyes dramatically. “I’d rather stay home and watch commoners’ live streams.”
“What a waste to have woken up early today just for the ball.”
She glanced at herself in the huge floor mirror and suddenly noticed Jiang Jiang beside her.
Hmm, hadn’t noticed before, the new butler, though quite ordinary, is actually quite good-looking.
Ah…
Mei Lin turned her head to look at Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang: ?
“Miss, you?”
“You come and compliment me.”
“???”
“What do you think of me today?” Mei Lin stood up, gracefully walked to the window sill, lightly lifted the hem of her dress with both hands, and performed a noble gesture. “Tell me about my makeup, dress, and overall demeanor today.”
At first, Jiang Jiang thought Mei Lin was joking. After standing for a moment, he realized Mei Lin was serious.
“Miss, you look radiant today, your makeup… dazzling… and your demeanor is impeccable…”
The young butler reluctantly resorted to verses he had learned in his youth, feeling extremely awkward.
But Miss seemed quite satisfied.
Night fell once again.
The scandals that have surfaced recently have shaken Wang Henry’s circle but brought jubilation to Jiang Qiuqiu’s circle.
—As expected, I, Jiujiu, am the most formidable!
—Those not being talked about are all mediocre!
—Everything will bow down under Jiujiu’s cooking skills!
The barrage was lively. The screen froze for a moment. Jiang Qiuqiu held an iron spoon and smoothed her restless voice: “Welcome to my food live stream room, everyone. I am Jiang Jiujiu. Today’s menu is: Fish balls!”
As the storm subsided, it was time once again to enjoy the pleasures of food.
