I Married a Commander and Became a Galaxy Star

Chapter 123: Chapter 108: It’s One Thing to Be Stupid, but How Can You Be So Completely Stupid

Seeing the status of the private message change from ”Unread” to ”Read,” Lin Zhenxiang quickly seized her chance.

”I just had a bold idea. I hope all my Xiang fans can be like you and become fans of Mrs. Bao, too! That way, our two fanbases can become one big family and never fight again!”

”So... could you please ask Assistant Dan to pass on a request to Mrs. Bao for me? When it’s time for her stream, I could do a collaboration with her.”

”Cooking together is what a lot of fans would love to see! This would be a huge help to Mrs. Bao’s future career on the Star Network, too!”

’A collaboration? Out of the question.’ Ke Dancheng didn’t even need to think about it.

The fact that Lin Zhenxiang could say something like that proved she still didn’t know Mrs. Bao’s true identity!

He also disliked Lin Zhenxiang’s tone. It was obvious she was the one trying to ride Mrs. Bao’s coattails, yet she made it sound as if Mrs. Bao was the one who needed her for views.

So many streamers were just like Lin Zhenxiang, trying to leech off Mrs. Bao’s popularity!

Ke Dancheng’s refusal was blunt and to the point:

”I’m sorry, but Mrs. Bao isn’t lacking in popularity or viewers right now, and she isn’t accepting any form of collaboration. If you truly want our fanbases to get along, please rein in your Xiang fans. After all, our Bao fans are of a much higher caliber.”

After sending the reply, Ke Dancheng decisively unfollowed Lin Zhenxiang.

Not only that, but he also unfollowed every other streamer, leaving only Mrs. Bao’s account on his follow list.

As Mrs. Bao’s number one fan, such a move was necessary.

After being rejected and then discovering she had been unfollowed, Lin Zhenxiang was absolutely livid.

’A mere assistant dares to act so high and mighty with me!’

’What has the world come to!?’

Unwilling to give up, she sent another private message: ”You have no idea what a huge loss you’ve caused Mrs. Bao by making decisions on your own!!!!!!!!”

Ke Dancheng shot back a question, ”Could the loss from not collaborating with you possibly be greater than the cost of refunding all the donations from her student fans?”

’Lin Zhenxiang really thought too highly of herself.’

Mrs. Bao was right. These streamers had been put on too high a pedestal by their fans.

Lin Zhenxiang’s reputation had plummeted, and she was desperate for a chance to recover.

Ke Dancheng could see that clearly.

But Mrs. Bao’s popularity wasn’t something just anyone could use for a free ride!

”You’d better not regret what you’ve said today!!!”

”I hope Mrs. Bao doesn’t hold you responsible when she finds out you acted without her permission!!!”

Lin Zhenxiang wanted to say something even harsher, but she and Ke Dancheng were no longer mutuals, so her private messages wouldn’t send.

Hua Yingying, who had left and now returned, saw Lin Zhenxiang’s dark expression, and her heart sank.

She was struck by a bad feeling. ”Xiangxiang, what have you done now?”

Lin Zhenxiang barely managed to curl her lips, her words dripping with resentment. ”In my current state, what *could* I possibly do!”

’I hope she didn’t do anything!’

Feeling uneasy, Hua Yingying did a quick sweep of the forums. She breathed a temporary sigh of relief when she found nothing out of the ordinary.

”I managed to dig up some information on Vice District Chief Luo. He’s a completely doting husband. His wife is pregnant, but things aren’t going well. Her morning sickness is so severe that she had to be hospitalized. Like you, she’s currently at Imperial Hospital.”

At this, Lin Zhenxiang’s eyes lit up.

Seemingly reading her mind, Hua Yingying warned her, ”Don’t you dare go disturbing Mrs. Luo. I heard from the medical staff that she throws up everything she eats and is surviving on an IV drip.

My advice is to make a few dishes that are good for pregnant women and take them to her. If you can help stabilize Mrs. Luo’s condition, I’m sure Vice District Chief Luo will remember the favor and be more lenient during your review.”

Lin Zhenxiang replied, ”I understand.”

’This time, I have to make a good impression on Mrs. Luo!’

Seeing that she had regained some of her fighting spirit, Hua Yingying’s expression softened, and her tone grew gentler. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

”You need to make the most of this opportunity. Also, when you have a moment, give some serious thought to what dishes you’ll make when you start streaming again.”

Lin Zhenxiang pressed her lips together. ”Sister Ying, what do you think about collaborating with Mrs. Bao for a stream?”

Hua Yingying froze for a second. She immediately understood the intent behind the question but didn’t call out Lin Zhenxiang’s selfish little plan.

”It’s good that you’re thinking that way, but now is not the right time for you to collaborate with Mrs. Bao.”

”Why not?” Lin Zhenxiang didn’t understand.

Hua Yingying spoke frankly. ”Mrs. Bao became a legend with a single dish; she peaked the moment she debuted. Unlike streamers who are propped up by investors, she doesn’t use gimmicks or chase trends. In the food streaming world, she relies entirely on her skill and integrity.”

Seeing the ugly turn of Lin Zhenxiang’s expression, Hua Yingying decided she had to lay it all out.

”Xiangxiang, I’m not trying to take a shot at you. I just need you to understand that our current situation is extremely disadvantageous. Mrs. Bao is at the peak of her fame right now. Any streamer who gets close to her will be accused of trying to ride her coattails.

That includes you.

If you don’t want to get torn apart by netizens, you need to just focus on your cooking. Once things have stabilized on our end, I’ll find an opportunity to convince her team to do a few collaborative streams with us.”

Hua Yingying didn’t put it too harshly.

’In their current state, it wasn’t like Mrs. Bao would be willing to work with them anyway.’
