Chapter 119: Chapter 107: I Hope for a Relationship of Equals with My Fans
Shu Yao agreed.
No one was sure how things on the forums would blow up overnight.
So, she gave Ke Dancheng an address and told him to come to the Shu residence after school to discuss things in person.
Ke Dancheng set off immediately, hailed a Flying Machine, and headed toward the Shu residence.

When Jiang Fei saw Mrs. Bao’s star ranking drop, he raced to the Shu residence and confronted Shu Yao, asking if she was an idiot.
Dealing with this uninvited guest left Shu Yao with no time to even have a proper chat with Ke Dancheng.
"The Star Coins tipped to you are yours, and you actually used your own money to refund those tips! I’ve never seen a streamer do something like this!
Do you have any idea how other streamers wish their fans would empty their accounts to tip them all their Star Coins?!
Mr. Yu, talk some sense into your niece!"
"Keep your voice down!" Instead of blaming Shu Yao, Shu Chao Yu was annoyed at how loud Jiang Fei was. "My sister is afraid she’ll get her hands on some money and run away. If she knew Yaoyao was a multimillionaire now, she’d probably worry so much she wouldn’t sleep for days and would guard the door day and night! She’d follow Yaoyao wherever she goes!"
Jiang Fei was stunned. "Sister Xin doesn’t know Yaoyao is a streamer?"
"She knows, kind of," Shu Chao Yu said. "She thinks Yaoyao is just messing around and won’t get anywhere. Didn’t you notice we don’t even let her come near the kitchen? It’s not just my sister; even my two older brothers don’t know that Yaoyao is Mrs. Bao!"
Jiang Fei was even more flustered now.
’If I were Shu Yao, who became a legend with a single dish, I’d want everyone around me to know that I’m the famous Mrs. Bao who’s gone viral online!’
To think she’d hide her legendary success even from her own family!
He returned to the topic of the refunded tips.
"Yaoyao, I really don’t think you needed to do that. Imperial Court Company’s shameless greed isn’t anything new. You used your own money to refund the Star Coins tipped to you, but it’s not like they’re going to pity you or compensate you for it!"
Shu Yao patiently explained, "I blew up too quickly, and I haven’t had time to prepare for a lot of things. I became a legend right out of the gate, and I don’t want to fall from that pedestal so soon. Besides making delicious food, I also have to package myself well.
Unlike other streamers who have professional management teams, right now it’s just me. Oh, right, and a potential little assistant who’s on a trial period. I need to quickly establish an influential and positive public persona for myself to help rally my fans.
Of course, there are other reasons, but I don’t want to explain them all to a stupid dog like you!"
Jiang Fei was crushed.
’I got scolded by Mrs. Bao! Waaah~’
Shu Chao Yu also took the opportunity to twist the knife. "Yaoyao doesn’t need a stupid dog to tell her what to do!"
Jiang Fei lunged at him ferociously. The two of them started wrestling childishly.
Before long, another guest arrived at the Shu residence.
Ke Dancheng looked around and realized the environment was almost identical to the "Mrs. Bao’s Private Kitchen" livestream. He suddenly felt like he was dreaming. He was actually in Mrs. Bao’s kitchen!
As Shu Chao Yu and Jiang Fei sized him up, he appeared extremely awkward.
Jiang Fei looked him over with some disdain. "Yaoyao, this is the assistant you hired?" ’He really doesn’t look like much!’
"My classmate, Ke Dancheng," Shu Yao introduced them. "This is my younger uncle, Shu Chao Yu, and his friend."
Jiang Fei: "..." ’So I don’t even deserve to have my name mentioned by Mrs. Bao?’
Shu Chao Yu pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and offered a polite greeting.
"Hello."
"Hey, hey, just call me Brother Fei from now on! You’re from Imperial High too? Speaking of which, Mr. Yu and I are your upperclassmen. We also graduated from Imperial High School! Mr. Yu was even an outstanding graduate. You’ve probably seen his photo on the school’s wall of honor, right?"
Ke Dancheng: "..." ’This guy talks a lot.’
Jiang Fei rubbed his stomach and asked, "What’s for dinner?"
Shu Yao gave him a dark look.
Jiang Fei knew better and shut his mouth.
Shu Yao turned to Ke Dancheng. "That was a good suggestion."
Ke Dancheng couldn’t hold back his excitement. "Then let’s set up the fan group right now!"
But Shu Yao wasn’t in a hurry. "I’ve had a few new ideas."
Ke Dancheng suppressed his urgency. "What’s the plan?"
"We’re still going to create a fan group. But I won’t be the group owner," Shu Yao said unhurriedly.
Ke Dancheng’s initial proposal was for her to be the fan group’s owner, while he would be in charge of managing it.
The idea was to use Mrs. Bao’s influence to keep the fans in line.
Seeing he didn’t fully understand, Shu Yao asked a question from the heart: "In your opinion, what is a streamer?"
It wasn’t a difficult question to answer.
What surprised Ke Dancheng was that Shu Yao didn’t give him a chance to respond at all.
