Chapter 145: Chapter 117: A Small Interlude Before the Broadcast
"Sister Bao, how come this nutritional meal looks so much like you made it?" He had mooched a few meals at the Shu family’s place and remembered seeing that exact meat and egg roll at breakfast last time.
It was identical!
"This *is* your cooking!" Jiang Fei’s suspicion turned to certainty. But after reading the comments, he grew confused. "Wait, why are so many people saying Lin Zhenxiang made it?"
Without a second thought, he was suddenly amped up and immediately logged onto his blog to set the record straight.
He was very active in that community and had a bit of a name for himself.
He was the fan on the Star Network’s streaming platform with the username [Will_Rename_For_Sister_Bao].
Jiang Fei reposted Lin Zhenxiang’s blog post and publicly declared, "This is my Sister Bao’s handiwork! Everyone else, please do not plagiarize! All infringement will be pursued!!!"
He even attached a selfie taken while mooching a meal at the Shu family’s home. The fork in his hand held a piece of a mouth-watering meat and egg roll!
It was identical to the meat and egg roll in Lin Zhenxiang’s blog photo!
After Jiang Fei posted, the tide in the comment section of Lin Zhenxiang’s blog began to turn.
Shu Yao said, satisfied, "Well done. You can have some extra tonight."
Jiang Fei hunched over, flashing a brilliant, fawning smile. "Can I get some to go?"
Shu Yao replied, "If there are any leftovers, you can have them."
Jiang Fei immediately whipped his head toward Ke Dancheng and warned him with a vicious expression, "You better eat less tonight!"
Ke Dancheng lowered his head, adjusting his glasses. ’No point in arguing with a pig of a senior.’
Suddenly, Jiang Fei got a call.
A stream of vulgar curses poured out of his Light Brain:
"Jiang Fei, you motherfucker!"
And it only got more foul from there.
Jiang Fei was mortified. He couldn’t stay, but he couldn’t leave either. If he went outside, Xiao Juzi would hear the profanity.
That would be a bad influence. A very bad influence.
He decided to just stay in the kitchen, hiding in a corner.
His friend cursed as he interrogated him, "When the fuck did you meet Mrs. Bao in person?"
Jiang Fei explained meekly, his voice a whisper, "It was a coincidence! Just a coincidence! Mrs. Bao is a relative of a friend of mine. I was shocked when I found out, too! Heh heh, I’ll let you in on a secret, but just you, okay? Right now... I’m in Mrs. Bao’s kitchen! She’s getting dinner ready!"
The person on the other end suddenly went silent.
Two seconds later, he bit out through gritted teeth, word by vicious word, "Send. Me. Your. Location. Right. Now!"
"No way, no way!" Jiang Fei refused to reveal Mrs. Bao’s location. "As for tonight’s dinner, I’ll do you the honor of eating it first. If there are any leftovers, I’ll bring them to you! Gotta go now, talk to you later, bye!"
Jiang Fei quickly cut the connection and set his Light Brain to airplane mode.
Ke Dancheng said to him, "Senior Jiang, you’ve gone viral."
Jiang Fei ran a hand through his hair narcissistically. "Your Brother Fei has always been popular, okay!"
Ke Dancheng gave him a speechless look.
"Your blog. A lot of people in the comments are asking about you and Mrs. Bao."
Jiang Fei waved his hand, feigning an air of worldly detachment. "Let them talk."
The moment the act was over, he scrambled over to Ke Dancheng’s side to watch the drama unfold on the blog with him.
"HAHAHA, those dumbasses! Didn’t see that coming, did you! While you’re all dreaming of a taster spot for Mrs. Bao’s food, I’ve already eaten a meal she made with her own hands! I’ve decided. From now on, every time I mooch a meal from Sister Bao, I’m going to post it on my blog and make all those idiots drool with envy! I’ll start tonight! I’m even gonna post that picture of the omurice from before!"
Jiang Fei suddenly saw the gates to a new world opening before him. He excitedly opened his Light Brain and, under the watchful eyes of the masses on his blog, began a series of flashy maneuvers.
He successfully launched both himself and Mrs. Bao into the top trending topics.
As for Lin Zhenxiang’s blog, hardly anyone was paying attention to it anymore.
So what if she had a professional team backing her? The hype they managed to stir up was nothing compared to the flood of traffic from Jiang Fei’s exposé!
Jiang Fei even changed his blog username to [Sister Bao’s Official Taster].
Seeing him cause such a huge commotion, Ke Dancheng felt both surprised and uneasy.
"Sister Yao, is it really okay... to let him keep going like this?"
"He’s taking on a whole team by himself. What’s not to like?" In truth, Shu Yao was starting to be impressed by Jiang Fei.
’I didn’t expect his influence in the foodie community to be so significant.’
However, there was one thing they had all misunderstood.
Lin Zhenxiang’s latest blog post hadn’t been approved by her team. She had completely ignored Hua Yingying’s earlier warnings, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
But when Hua Yingying saw the initially positive results, she only gave Lin Zhenxiang a token reprimand. She never expected that in less than half an hour, the tide would completely turn!
Her scalp tingled with dread. She had no choice but to urge Lin Zhenxiang to clarify the photo situation before her stream started, shifting the blame onto the fans who had "misunderstood."
Fortunately, Lin Zhenxiang had never explicitly claimed in her blog post that she was the one who made the nutritional meal in the photo!
But Lin Zhenxiang hadn’t expected it either. ’The nutritional meal Ling Yunyun was eating... it was actually made by Mrs. Bao? I remember her nephew brought it to her.’
’I have to find a chance to ask Ke Dancheng what trick he used to get a nutritional meal from Mrs. Bao!’
