A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 125: Returning to the Federation

Because she was preoccupied with the bar’s reopening, Jiang Qin and her group didn’t linger after the Flying Car race. They immediately bought Spaceship Tickets for the next day and returned to the Federation.

To her complete surprise, a large crowd of fans was waiting at the spaceship’s docking port!

At the very front of the crowd were a few familiar faces.

They were even holding up signs with her name on them.

’Honestly, Jiang Qin never thought she’d get to experience the celebrity treatment in this lifetime.’

After all, strictly speaking, she hadn’t actually entered the entertainment industry.

In reality, she was probably just a fairly famous internet personality and singer-songwriter.

She was considered an internet personality because so many people filmed her and livestreamed her daily work life.

As a result, many photos and videos of her circulated online, while her own account didn’t post any of that content. She only used it to release new songs, a movie, and a new animated series.

But now that she had an assistant, all private messages regarding collaborations were forwarded to Xie Lili.

Apparently, even before she returned to the Federation, over a hundred companies had already reached out to discuss collaborations or commission songs.

"AAAAAH, QIN BAO!!"

Since she hadn’t expected anyone to be there to meet the spaceship, Jiang Qin hadn’t worn any sort of disguise.

She was recognized the moment she stepped off.

However, no one got too close, as the partners of a few female fans were helping to maintain order.

The male fans also consciously stood behind the female fans, keeping a respectful distance.

Jiang Qin smiled and walked over. "Have you all been waiting long?"

"We have! We’ve been here since this morning."

"Why so early? What if my spaceship hadn’t arrived today?" Jiang Qin’s heart went out to these lovely people.

Wen Xueli replied, "Don’t worry, Qin Bao! We only came today because we were sure.

Miss Beta posted a photo of you boarding the spaceship, so we just looked up the arrival time!"

’Well, it seems she’d been worrying for nothing.’

’Even though she knew people were always following her and taking pictures, she never realized they were quite this dedicated.’

She broke out in a nervous sweat.

Luckily, she was a female.

The Interstellar age had paparazzi, but they were forbidden from secretly filming a female’s private life.

Violating a female’s privacy could lead to imprisonment, and in serious cases, they’d even be exiled to the mines.

So, she wasn’t actually too worried.

Her private moments were safe from cameras, and as for her public daily life, she didn’t think she had any bad habits to hide.

The only thing was her Superpower.

But even that was probably fine. Her Superpower was so abstract that most people’s minds wouldn’t even jump to that conclusion.

They would just assume it was a projection, or something she was carrying in her Space Button.

Even if they saw a living creature, they’d probably doubt their own eyes before they suspected she had a Superpower. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

...

After signing autographs and taking photos with the fans who asked, Jiang Qin was finally able to leave the spaceport.

Cang Hong, who had been following her discreetly, let out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw she was safe.

’He’d been worried some irrational person might cause trouble in a situation like this.’

Accidents at spaceship arrivals weren’t unheard of.

Jiang Qin might not have been an official celebrity, but her fame was easily on par with some.

Just the act of winning the *Interstellar Composer* championship—bringing glory to the Federation and securing benefits for it—was enough to win her countless fans.

Once they were safely back at their residence, Jiang Qin gave everyone time off.

"The bar opens the day after tomorrow, so take today and tomorrow off.

Go home to see your families or take care of any urgent business. Otherwise, once the bar opens, we’re probably going to be swamped."

Then she turned to the sisters, Xie An’an and Xie Lili. "The grand opening will probably keep us busy for several days. Once that’s over, I’ll give you both a few extra days off to go back to Blue Star and see your family."

Xie An’an quickly refused. "That’s alright, we don’t need time off."

The salary she and Xie Lili received from Jiang Qin was very high; the money they sent home was more than enough for their family to live on.

So, whether or not they could go home wasn’t really that important.

Besides, they could still have video calls with their family.

If she could afford to buy Holographic Cabins for her whole family, they could even meet on the Star Network.

There was a replica of Central City on the Star Network.

It had its own residences, shops, schools, and other buildings, just like the real one.

That’s why many people living far apart would get together on the Star Network.

Spending time together on the Star Network every day wasn’t all that different from being together in real life.

Xie Lili agreed that she didn’t need a vacation either.

"You’ll still be incredibly busy after the bar opens. I don’t want to take a vacation at a time like that."

’That was true,’ Jiang Qin thought.

The sisters handled most of her day-to-day tasks, and she’d be genuinely swamped if they took a vacation.

But being busy was no excuse to deny them their vacation.

So she said, "Alright, you can just save up your vacation days for now. When you really need a break, you can take them all at once."

"Thank you, Miss Jiang!" Xie An’an chirped happily.

After echoing her thanks, Xie Lili immediately got back to work.

The cleaning was left to the housekeeping bots.

She busied herself with unpacking and organizing.

After that, she had to go to Jiang Qin’s new studio to calibrate the equipment.

The house You Wei had arranged this time was much larger than their place on Blue Star.

It was a three-story villa.

The first floor was for the bodyguards. The second floor housed Xie An’an and her sister, along with two studios and a kitchen.

Jiang Qin had the third floor to herself. Besides her bedroom, there was also a study, a walk-in closet, and a tech room.

The tech room was equipped with the most advanced Holographic Cabin and Holographic Helmets on the market, as well as other instruments she might need for daily use.

The villa also had a basement.

It had been converted into a massive filming studio.

Now she wouldn’t have to film in secret anymore; she could just close the door and work on whatever she wanted.

The basement was outfitted with an incredibly comprehensive set of filming equipment.

It was even equipped with a host of robot extras.

After filming, you could just apply a virtual face, and you’d have a perfectly qualified extra.

’Of course, that was also the part Jiang Qin liked the least.’

There were productions on the market where it felt like the main characters were the only real, living people in the entire world.

Everyone else was just an NPC.

It was really hard to get immersed in films and shows like that.

As more than one actor had said in the past, even playing a corpse has its layers.

Extras could be part of the background, but they couldn’t be completely soulless.

This was the reason high technology could never truly empathize.

***

Once everyone was finally settled in, Jiang Qin immediately sent them all off on leave.

Even those whose families weren’t on the Main Star and had nothing in particular to do were told to go and rest.

She didn’t plan on leaving the house again until the bar’s opening anyway.

She planned to spend the entire time in her recording studio.

She was going to record and upload all the new songs she’d written recently.

However, there were a few songs better suited for a male voice that she didn’t record. She planned to find a suitable singer for them.

For instance, *Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing*.

The song really wasn’t a good match for her voice, so she wanted to find a partner for it.
