Chapter 73 - Jiang Xun, Have Some Self-Awareness

At this moment, not all of the netizens watching were Youyan’s fans. There were also some fans who were staying behind to wait for Vnknown, as well as some netizens who were passing by and were mildly interested in the streamers involved.

Upon seeing Youyan’s actions, one of the passerby viewers commented, [It’s obvious who’s superior. Jiang Xun said that she didn’t want anyone to give her expensive gifts, but Youyan hinted for people to give her gifts as soon as she came up so she can surpass Jiang Xun.]

Of course, Youyan’s fans were immediately up in arms over the comment.

[What did our Yanyan say? Don’t put words into her mouth!]

[Yanyan only hopes that everyone can support her more. She didn’t ask anyone to spend money on her.]

[Jiang Xun only knows how to sugarcoat her words. She’s glib-tongued and cunning!]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Before Youyan left the red carpet, she glanced at the big screen discreetly. Upon realizing that Jiang Xun was still firmly occupying the first place in the rankings, her face instantly darkened, but she headed to the entrance of the inner court and met up with Sister Lin.

When she saw Youyan’s darkened face, Sister Lin chided, “There’s also a livestream going on in the inner court. You should pay attention to your facial expression. A temporary advantage in gift rankings isn’t worth it when you’re now ranked second on the celebrity rankings. There’s not much time left before voting closes. If nothing goes wrong, the title of this year’s Shanpin Celebrity Queen is yours.”

Sister Lin had been paying attention to the rankings all this while. Although Jiang Xun seemed to have suddenly gone from 15th place to 6th place, she was still quite a distance away from Youyan.

It was impossible for Jiang Xun to surpass Youyan in a short period of time, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Therefore, Sister Lin did not tell Youyan about Jiang Xun’s rise in the rankings just in case it put her in a in a bad mood again.

The two of them walked forward to find their own seats. Youyan already knew where she was sitting, but when she saw that Jiang Xun was sitting in the middle of the first row and was even sitting next to Qin Mufeng, Youyan was instantly unhappy.

Although she didn’t know that Qin Mufeng was the ultimate big Boss of Shanpin, she knew that he was the CEO of Qin Yang!

He must be appearing as a VIP tonight.

“Why is Jiang Xun sitting in such an important position?” Youyan said, her face twisting with disdain. “She’s only been in the industry for two months, and she’s a newbie. In terms of fans, she’s far behind me. My status should be higher than hers, right?”

“I became famous earlier than her in Shanpin, and I have more fans than her. I’m the top internet celebrity on the platform.” What was Jiang Xun to her? She had just become famous, and her viewer count hadn’t stabilized yet. Who knew whether she would continue to be relevant on the platform or drop off suddenly?

“Aren’t there many internet celebrities who suddenly become famous and then suddenly disappear on Shanpin?” Youyan said indignantly.”And I’ve already passed the unstable period of being a rookie. I’m sure I can keep my relevancy, and I’ve also made a lot of money for Shanpin! How could they treat me like this?”

“Don’t be so hasty,” Sister Lin comforted her. “I’ll go ask them about it.”

Sister Lin immediately called her colleagues. “Ning Chang, let me ask you about the seating arrangement for this event. Why is Jiang Xun in the front row instead of Youyan? Did they put the wrong name tag on it?”

When she heard the answer, Sister Lin’s eyes widened in shock. “What? No? But logically speaking, no matter how you look at it, Youyan shouldn’t be placed behind Jiang Xun, right?”

After listening for a while, her expression shifted again. She frowned and said, “Okay, I got it.”

When she hung up the phone, she said to Youyan, “My colleagues said that there was no mistake. That’s how it was arranged.”

Youyan looked around the venue and saw that the camera was following the audience members, so the livestream feed wasn’t showing this place yet. This was probably because there was no one important here; the heavyweight guests and celebrities had yet to arrive.

The ones who had walked onto the red carpet first were all small internet celebrities, so they weren’t gathered here.

“Sister Lin, help me keep an eye on the camera. Remember to let me know if it comes over,” she quickly said to Sister Lin.

“What do you...” before Sister Lin could finish speaking, she saw Youyan tear off the nametag on the back of Jiang Xun’s chair, then went to the second row where she was supposed to be seated. She tore off her nametag from the back of her chair and replaced it with Jiang Xun’s nametag, then went back to the front row and stuck her own nametag on jiang Xun’s chair.

“Jiang Xun came in earlier than you. She should know that she’s sitting here,” Sister Lin said with a frown.

“She’s not here now, so she might not have come in earlier than me. Although she finished the red carpet first, who knows what she’s doing now?” Youyan pouted, “Besides, when she comes back, I’ll already be sitting here. How can she argue with me in front of the camera?”

After saying that, Youyan sat down on Jiang Xun’s seat.

While all that was happening, Jiang Xun opened a new mission while he was in the bathroom.

[ Do you want to use 5000 Merit Points to open an intermediate mission? ]

[ Yes ].

[ intermediate Mission: obtain 10000 Favorability Points. Mission Reward: additional 10 years of life, 2 ability panels, ability to convert Gratitude Points into Merit Points. ]

Jiang Xun was silent for a moment. She carefully counted the zeros three times and confirmed that it was indeed 10,000 Favorability Points. A total of four zeros.

After she processed everything, she took a deep breath and asked the system, “The 10k Favorability Points isn’t limited to a certain person, right? As long as someone provides me with points, is it fine?”

The system hummed in affirmation. “Yes, that’s right.”

“So my fans’ love for me and my friends Love for me can also be considered as Favorability Points, right?”

Because they had a favorable impression of her, they were her fans.

Because they had a favorable impression of her, they could become friends.

It wasn’t just limited to the favorability between a man and a woman.

The system replied, “That’s right.”

“Alright.” Then she was relieved.

Now, not only did she have to take Merit Points from her haters, she also had to work hard to attract fans to gain Favorability Points.

Jiang Xun pondered all this as she walked back to her seat. Following the video she’d taken when she walked to the bathroom, she successfully returned to the inner court.

However, she realized that his seat was taken by Youyan.

Speaking of which, this was the first time she had officially met Youyan.

Although the two of them were both attending Beijing University and had fought many times online, in reality, they had never met face-to-face before.

However, Jiang Xun recognized her at a glance. She walked to Youyan and pointed at the seat she was sitting in. “I’m sorry, this seat is mine.”

While she didn’t necessarily want to sit next to Qin Mufeng, that didn’t mean that Youyan could snatch her seat without asking.

Youyan crossed her arms and sat in her seat without any intention of getting up. She looked at Jiang Xun proudly and arrogantly. “When I came here, my name was plastered on the back of the chair. This is the seat the company arranged for me.”

Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, “But before I went to the bathroom, I clearly remembered that my name was plastered on this chair. My manager was also with me. He also saw it very clearly. Do you want me to call him over to confirm?”

She also wanted to confirm whether or not Youyan knew that her manager was Wang Yicheng.

However, she saw Youyan let out a breath and purse her lower lip impatiently. “Jiang Xun, have some self-awareness. You are a newcomer, so how can you have the gall to sit in this position?”
