Chapter 754: The Name Jiang Qiuqiu Is Gradually Removed
Qiuqiu, Your Idea Was Stolen Again
The other pictures, more or less, also came with some cringeworthy stories.
The kind that were completely devoid of any romantic atmosphere.
As the conversation went on, the topic slowly shifted to why there were so many single guys in the Mecha Department.
It gradually turned into a thread where some of the girls shared stories about their clueless boyfriends.
The original poster popped up a few times, but they were ruthlessly shot down every time.
Qiuqiu contacted Huo Jia privately to thank him.
Huo Jia looked at her poised and calm statement on his terminal, an indescribable feeling welling up inside him.
Huo Jia: No need to thank me. It clarified things for both of us.
He was also a man of few words.
If only those outsiders could see their chat history.
However, Qiuqiu had no idea that after Huo Jia posted the clarification and returned to his dorm, he was immediately cornered by his cousin.
The young man stared at Huo Jia with a look of utter shock.
"You... This—"
"I thought when you went off so cheerfully to see her, you were going to have a good time together. But it turns out you were going to beat her up!?"
"Jia, you call that having a crush?" Huo Deng lamented.
Huo Jia: "..."
He paused for a moment before saying with great earnestness, "My feelings are real."
"You can’t be serious. You wipe the floor with her, and then you say your feelings are real..."
"You have to give it your all in a match." And, "You said I should showcase my strengths." ’And my strength is my power,’ he thought.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore. She and her boyfriend haven’t broken up." ’Everything that happened... just let it go.’
He would let it all stay hidden in his memories.
"My feelings for her are my own business. Don’t bring this up again, and don’t talk about it with anyone else."
She had said it.
That it was a bother.
His younger cousin’s tone was so impassive that Huo Deng couldn’t tell whether he was upset or not. But his own tone turned solemn. "Don’t worry. How could I possibly go around blabbing about something like this?"
"Mm."

The strange rumors finally died down.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s life got back on track. In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and September was drawing ever closer.
Her Mecha and gravity training had hit a plateau, so Jiang Qiuqiu needed to take a break for a while.
For the next half-month, she planned to dedicate all her time outside of Mecha classes to her livestream.
One reason was that the situation on the Remote Star was complex. Plus, she would be going there for a school-sponsored service trip that also doubled as an exam, so it was obviously not an appropriate time to stream.
The trip was rumored to last one to two months, meaning she would have to disappear from her livestream for that long.
Streaming more would also mean releasing more content. She could also create more instructional courses so everyone could still enjoy a feast via Taobao Food.
That meant she needed to spend an afternoon drawing up a plan.
What dishes to make.
What would be easy enough for beginners to learn.
How many servings to prepare, exactly.
The fresh vegetables at the factory she had invested in were now ripe. It would be best to create more dishes using the factory’s produce to improve its cash flow.
This would all take some time to think through.
But just as Jiang Qiuqiu had written down the first item on her list—shredded potato pancakes—a call from Little President Qian came through. DING! DING! DING!
"Hello?"
"This is a five-alarm fire," Little President Qian said, his voice seething with anger from the very first word. "Qiuqiu, we have a problem. We’ve been ripped off again."
That’s right. They’d been ripped off again.
Jiang Qiuqiu’s idea had been stolen by some shameless bastard again.
"Federation Live again?"
"No." And this was the most shameless part of it all. "It’s not Federation Live. It’s a new company."
"A new company?"
"A new company with very close ties to the Qian Family."
