Chapter 930: Chapter 949: November 5356 Transformation
GASP.
Was this one of those legendary Versailles people who, upon failing to start a business, would be forced to go back and inherit a multi-billion-dollar fortune?
Qiuqiu expressed her extreme sympathy and wished Mei Lin early success.
Mei Lin hummed in agreement, feeling greatly encouraged. "I believe in you!" She wasn’t expressing belief in herself, but rather in Qiuqiu.
"Believe in me?"
"Yes, I believe the aroma of your food... can conquer everyone!" Mei Lin was brimming with confidence. "After all, even I like it a lot." Her expression seemed to say that if Qiuqiu’s food could conquer her, there was no way it wouldn’t easily conquer those ordinary mortals. It was a bit arrogant, but not at all annoying.
"Then it’s settled. As long as you negotiate the details with Little President Qian, it’ll be fine."
"Mhm." After Mei Lin agreed, she glanced up at the sky. "I’ll head back first then. I won’t disturb you any longer."
"Bye-bye then! I need to head back to the dorm too."
Qiuqiu watched Mei Lin and Jiang Jiang walk away arm in arm. She rested her chin in her hand, pondering for a moment before turning back to pack her things.
Before heading back, Qiuqiu made a video call to Mo Si. During the conversation, she casually mentioned her intention to skip a grade. Mo Si didn’t explicitly say whether he supported the idea or not; he merely asked about her current academic progress.
Qiuqiu had already planned everything out. She presented her case logically and methodically. What reason could Mo Si possibly have to stop his ambitious sweetheart? At this moment, he was content simply being the silent man behind a successful woman.
"Whatever you decide is fine," he said. "If your spiritual power control can’t keep up, you can come to Starry Sky Wander, and I’ll train you."
Those words were truly unromantic, but they were incredibly practical.
"Sure, let’s wait until the weekend. You train me, and I’ll train you, hehe."
"..."
Mo Si didn’t immediately process what Qiuqiu meant. By the time he realized it, the little rascal had already hung up. A cheeky little innuendo had just run right over his face, leaving the tips of his ears slightly red.

Many things happened in November.
First was the meeting and negotiation between Mei Lin and Little President Qian. Upon hearing that Mei Lin was also resisting the old Duke’s arrangements and had decided to start her own company to establish herself for the sake of love—specifically for Jiang Jiang—Little President Qian developed an immense appreciation for her.
Thus, after various discussions, Mei Lin’s Fragrance Factory launched a co-branded venture with New Star, officially named Xinxue. As the major shareholder, Mei Lin Dais ceded 41 percent of the company’s shares to partner with New Star, allowing Qiuqiu to join through technology shares.
To ensure the factory operated smoothly, Little President Qian acted as a middleman once again, bridging the gap between Xinxue Fragrance and Haiyun Equipment Company. Mei Lin ceded another eight percent of the shares to bring in Haiyun Equipment’s production lines.
Why did manufacturing fragrances suddenly involve heavy machinery? This was a secret plan launched by both parties after their initial discussions.
With everything ready, the wealthy Mei Lin tapped into her mother’s dowry and heavily invested tens—if not hundreds—of billions. She registered a company near New Star, bought land in the suburbs of the Federation, built a massive factory, and began hiring workers.
A fragrance research team was rapidly assembled through the superpower of wealth. Thus, after November 6th, the Ju people in Juju’s live broadcast room noticed that braised Gugu meat had suddenly become a frequent dish on the stream. She made it after dark, she made it at dawn, and she even kept it fully stocked in her storefront showcase. Thankfully, it was so delicious that no one ever got tired of eating it!
After continuously testing and collecting data hundreds of times, the fragrance research team finally obtained a relatively constant value. On November 19th, with the perfected data in hand, the first bottle of fragrance officially entered experimental production.
At the same time, New Star’s market share and user activity metrics soared. Around the 20th, they surpassed the industry leader, Federation Live Broadcast Company, for the very first time. Operators across major financial media outlets declared that a new era for the live broadcast industry had likely arrived.
Consequently, right on the 21st, Federation Live Broadcast Company announced that this year’s preliminary rounds for the annual gala would be moved up to November 24th due to the scheduling of the National Legion Confrontation Tournament. They also revealed that this preliminary round would adopt a completely different format than any of the years prior.
