The Farming Livestreamer: I Don't Want to Inherit Billions!-Chapter 284: Pulling Strings?

"What’s this?"

Chi Youyou pulled a few more business deals and then saw messages from Amber on her phone, as well as screenshots from Zhao Qingran.

#Kite Livestream Shows Stunning Beauty#

#Imperial City University Little Fairy#

...

Chi Youyou looked at the trending topics, instantly embarrassed that she’d become a hit in someone else’s livestream... again.

Many people were asking where this was, saying they wanted to come see the beauty!

Zhao Qingran’s screenshots were from her watching the Kite livestream, including parts where she appeared on screen and some comments.

She was mainly emphasizing the part where Zhai Li appeared on screen.

The shot lingered for 5 minutes, and for 4 of those, the comments were related to her.

[Zhao Qingran: Look at how stiff her smile is!]

[Lin Xing: Awesome, it’s gotta be you, catching such great screenshots!]

[Chi Youyou: ...ZL is being completely played by you guys!]

[Chi Youyou: How’s business on your end?]

[Shen Xiaomi: Not bad at all! What do they mean by ’no comparison, no harm’? (with image)]

Chi Youyou opened the image and saw that their stock was running low, while others still had a lot.

[Shen Xiaomi: I’m worried, they might gang up on me!]

[Chi Youyou: That won’t happen, no matter what, I’ve got your back (cool.jpg)]

She also sent a photo; everything was sold out.

They could wrap up early now.

[Shen Xiaomi: Amazing!]

[Zhao Qingran: Amazing!]

[Lin Xing: Amazing!]

Amber was over there laughing uncontrollably, watching Kite being led by Chi Youyou; if she knew this Youyou was that Youyou, wouldn’t she be fuming!

Aside from her livestream fame, Chi Youyou also caught significant attention from the judges.

"Is this what you’re talking about?"

Several judges backstage were gradually arriving; it was the first day, and they all entered the venue as regular attendees to take a look around.

The expert judges this time included the current dean of the Huaxia Agricultural Science Institute, Qian Shaobo; Sun Qi, the director of the Imperial City Agricultural Research Institute; Zhang Fan, the deputy director; and Yang Qifeng, the president of Sanmu Agricultural Co., Ltd., a titan in the agricultural industry.

The deans of several university agricultural colleges were supposed to participate as well, but later on, to avoid conflicts of interest, they opted out.

However, they would attend the Autumn Expo awarding ceremony tomorrow as guest presenters.

The one who inquired was Zhang Fan, the deputy director of the Imperial City Agricultural Research Institute, pointing at the Youyou Agricultural Products Shop on the big screen.

Sun Qi nodded, "This young lady is quite interesting; she doesn’t seem like a farmer’s child, but her actions are very down-to-earth."

"Indeed interesting. Look, she drove traffic to an entire area with just her booth; when I came in just now, her stuff was already sold out."

Just then, Yang Qifeng pushed the door open and walked in.

Everyone in the room stood up when they saw him, calling out "President Yang."

There was someone following behind him.

"Let me introduce you, this is Manager Liu Yuan from the Zhai Family’s business team."

"Hello, everyone, I’m Liu Yuan, you can just call me Xiao Liu."

"Manager Liu, you’re too polite."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Liu Yuan pointed at Chi Youyou and said, "I know this girl; she’s from the same school as our chairman’s daughter, it’s truly inspiring she got in from Phoenix Mountain."

He gave a merry introduction.

The crowd found this a bit intriguing; was Manager Liu praising her to curry favor?

They looked at each other, not rushing to respond.

"There’s a girl named Zhai Li from Imperial City University; is she by any chance..."

"Yes, that’s our chairman’s daughter, but she did ask me to pass on a message to you, to not hold back in your evaluations. Only by recognizing her deficiencies can she become more outstanding."

"Miss Zhai is quite resilient."

"Thank you, Director Sun. Our young lady is more concerned about this student, Chi, who also made it from Phoenix Mountain; not easy, though her grades are among the top in her major. Experts, you can pay more attention to her..."

"Pay attention to what?"

The door opened once more, and in came Qian Shaobo, the dean of the Agricultural Science Institute, frowning as he walked in, having only caught fragments like "pay more attention."

Was someone trying to bribe the judges in his presence?

"Dean Qian is here!"

Upon his arrival, Sun Qi immediately went up to greet him, "This is the business manager from the Zhai Family, we were just discussing the contestants."

"From the Zhai Family?"

Here to bribe for the Zhai Family?

"Did you happen to check out the Youyou Agricultural Products Shop? She’s been the best performer among all the contestants today."

Qian Shaobo had, in fact, taken notice of her, as she cleverly attracted a crowd with her methods.

Of course, it was also about the quality of what she was selling. Generally, if people didn’t like something, they wouldn’t buy it.

Sun Qi recapped Liu Yuan’s words briefly, omitting the last bit about "pay more attention."

"Dean Qian, actually, I didn’t mean anything else by it. I just happened to overhear their conversation and chimed in."

Liu Yuan sighed to himself, hoping he didn’t mess things up!

But he still didn’t understand why the young miss wanted him to speak on someone else’s behalf.

Wasn’t this just boosting someone’s popularity?

Qian Shaobo kept a poker face, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.

Her demeanor while selling things did indeed look like something only a girl from the countryside would do; city girls wouldn’t dare.

But having someone deliberately ask for attention, and playing up the pitiful-and-inspirational angle, was something he disliked!

Even if he had a good impression of her previously, now it dropped significantly.

Relying on a sob story to win an award?

Sorry, not happening on his watch!

"Dean, don’t overthink it. Maybe they just genuinely wanted to help their classmate, and it really isn’t easy for a girl to pass the Phoenix Mountain exam."

Dean Qian’s assistant only spoke after Liu Yuan left, having followed the dean long enough to somewhat understand him.

It was only then that Sun Qi and Zhang Fan realized that Dean Qian really disliked this kind of preferential treatment!

This...

The Zhai Family’s young lady might end up trying to do a good deed that backfires!

Liu Yuan left the lounge and went over to Zhai Li’s booth. The little follower wasn’t around, so he relayed everything that happened verbatim, expressing his concerns.

"You think I’m helping her?"

Liu Yuan nodded.

"Do you know what type of person Dean Qian dislikes the most?"

"What kind of person?"

"People who use connections to go through the back door!"

Liu Yuan: !

"But what if Dean Qian really does feel sorry for her..."

"Then it’s fine. Actually, as long as Dean Qian and the others end up focusing on her today, that’s enough."

Zhai Li’s mood improved, things were already halfway through, and everything was better than expected.

Chi Youyou, just wait to feel what it’s like to fall from a height!

Liu Yuan glanced at the young miss, scratching his head in confusion.

Oh well, it’s impossible to guess what the young miss is thinking!
