Chapter 16: The anchor is on the homepage (1)
At 8 pm, the fans waiting in front of their computers and phones flooded into Jiang Fengchi’s live broadcast room right on time. The number of people in the room rose at a speed visible to the naked eye.
[Good evening, brother Fengchi!]
[Ah, Brother Fengchi is as handsome as ever!]
Netizens watched Jiang Fengchi appear on the screen with joy and couldn’t help but brush the bullet screen and Jiang Fengchi quickly reminded them of today’s topic as he greeted them.
Although it was live, Jiang Fengchi had not deliberately dressed himself up. He was casually wearing a sportswear jacket, his clean face very handsome in the light, and he looked even younger than he already was.
[Today’s the sport windbreaker!]
[QAQ, think about our Brother Fengchi a few years ago]
“We just finished the recording of today’s <Pick Eleven> and everyone’s performance was wonderful. Now let’s go take a look at what the contestants are doing, should we?”
Jiang Fengchi said softly as he started walking towards the villa of the Class A players. The netizens were praising the dormitory, sighing at the program’s wealth.
“Teacher Jiang, hello!”
As soon as he entered the dormitory, the girls who were chatting in the living room stood up nervously and greeted him. They looked a little confused and overwhelmed as if they didn’t know whether to come forward or not.
“Hello, ladies.”
Jiang Fengchi nodded to the group in the room, his eyes instinctively searching for Qiao Dai. When he did not see her, he slightly pursed his lips and withdrew his gaze, either in disappointment or pity, and turned back to the other players, his mind on something else. Why couldn’t he see Qiao Dai? Didn’t she know how much she needed to get in front of the camera to get more attention?
His concerns were purely professional, as a mentor worried about his student, and not as a man thinking of a woman. Jiang Fengchi had always been a serious and respectful person. He appreciated talented people and he had known he would like Qiao Dai at first sight. He liked that Qiao Dai was immaculate, like a sheet of white paper, and it made him wonder what would be her final appearance. A girl crossing mountains and rivers, coming from afar; there was no one in the circle like her. Thinking of the place Qiao Dai came from, of the aura she had on stage, and of the infinite future possibilities… Jiang Fengchi took a deep breath and could feel his blood boiling. He believed that as the program went on, more and more people would look forward to this girl’s growth, just like him.
Jiang Fengchi kept talking to the group in the living room but the atmosphere was obviously a little awkward. The players were nervous and too shy to speak and the discussion soon fell.
[Wow, so many beautiful sisters!]
[They seem to be a little bit shy.]
The viewers were joking about the situation. Wanting to ease their anxiety, Jiang Fengchi asked if they needed any help and after every girl shook their head, the ambiance became even stiffer. The staff following Jiang Fengchi frowned, they had not expected the Class A players would be so polite they would not even dare to talk to their mentor. The effect of the live broadcast was definitely not good, should they have Jiang Fengchi go to dormitory B instead?
At this time, Jiang Fengchi spoke again: “Nothing?” It was late and he looked around the room, not as embarrassed as the girls, before asking in a natural voice: “Then can you show me around your dormitory?”
“Yes, yes!”
Only then the girls realized they were acting too respectful. They quickly understood Jiang Fengchi’s subtle look and took him to visit the villa. The staff instantly relaxed; they would finally get some content. And the students who had been very nervous gradually relaxed. Jiang Fengchi would answer their questions and talk to them, which boosted their confidence and they discussed happily with their mentor.
The group was walking in a corridor when they heard a beautiful voice coming from the music classroom at the end. Jiang Fengchi slowly stepped forward with curiosity and approached the door in silence.
Through the glass window on the door, the people in the hallway could clearly see who was singing in the studio. In the classroom stood a girl in a white dress. She was in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, soaked in the night, like a beautiful and elegant white bird.
Jiang Fengchi stood at the door and quietly listened to Ruan Tao’s singing, careful not to disturb her. The wonderful song echoed gently in the room and came to the ears of the whole audience watching the live broadcast, and the viewers started to curiously ask who was singing.
[It’s Ruan Tao.]
[Her voice is so beautiful. I am going to follow the draft now.]
Before Jiang Fengchi could answer, some fans had already recognized Ruan Tao and the live broadcast room was soon full of her name.
Looking at the rapid increase of comments, the staff was about to ask Jiang Fengchi to enter the room and interact with Ruan Tao; she was a good boost of popularity. But before they could speak, footsteps came from the stairs and someone asked: “Teacher Jiang, do you have time right now?”
Qiao Dai, who was living on the third floor, rushed downstairs when she heard Jiang Fengchi had arrived and stopped in front of him.
“Huh? Yes, yes, there is time.”
As soon as Jiang Fengchi turned around, his sight locked on Qiao Dai’s round eyes. They were shining like stars, full of expectation, which made people unable to refuse her anything.
Hearing Jiang Fengchi’s answer, the initially worried Qiao Dai relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. She almost turned in a circle on the spot before asking Jiang Fengchi with excitement and embarrassment: “Can I ask you for a favor?”
[Is the little sister so brave?]
[She will go far!]
The attention of the viewers was quickly attracted by Qiao Dai. They watched her appear without warning and wondered what she was going to do. When they heard her request, they started to laugh and admire her courage. The audience was aware that tonight’s live broadcast had most likely been organized and they had expected to see some contestant rushing to grab the spotlight. What they had not expected was the direct way Qiao Dai had used. Yes, this little sister was really courageous.
Truth was that the viewers were already a little tired of watching everybody being so polite; they wanted to see something more exciting. And right at this time, Qiao Dai had rushed over and had immediately aroused their curiosity.
“Yes, of course.”
Jiang Fengchi responded quickly, His eyes were on the girl’s face and his eyebrows raised instinctively. What had Qiao Dai planned?
Looking at Qiao Dai’ eyes and faint blush on her cheeks, Jiang Fengchi felt under a spell; she looked like a small animal and his soul gently moved. He took his eyes off her and walked a few steps out of the corridor before whispering: “Then, let’s go.”
He did not look at her expression but turned his head to interact with the audience instead to avoid his gaze lingering too long on the girl.
[Oh! We can watch some fun!]
[Quick, quick, we need to see!]
And Ruan Tao’s fans in the room could only watch the other viewers urge Jiang Fengchi to walk faster to the next destination. They looked at Jiang Fengchi leave the music classroom before even seeing Ruan Tao’s face.
Sounds of footsteps leaving were heard from the studio and Ruan Tao turned around. She quickly walked to the door and opened it. The corridor was empty and she was alone. Ruan Tao’s eyelashes trembled and she bit her lips; no one knew what she was thinking and she slowly raised her head to look at the third floor.
Ruan Tao’s fans in Jiang Fengchi’s broadcast could not stay quiet anymore.
[Stealing the spotlight, is that a palace trick?]
[+1, this seems to be a little shady.]
[At first glance I could tell she was a troublemaker, I don’t like it.]
Although there were several not very harmonious comments, this was Jiang Fengchi’s anchor room and most viewers were his fans. For them, whether it was Ruan Tao or Qiao Dai, it did not matter. After all, they had not come to watch any of the contestants but to look at Jiang Fengchi and no one cared about Ruan Tao’s fans.
Seeing that they did not manage to do any damage, Ruan Tao’s felt reluctant to keep trying to lower Qiao Dai’s image. But the ones that had caught up with today’s recording were very unhappy with this girl; she had sent Ruan Tao’s good friend Lai You to Class F and they started to worry she would get more heat and suppress their Ruan Tao. Just as they quickly typed more words against Qiao Dai, an alert popped up on their screen: [This account has been banned for violating the rules of the live broadcast room. Remaining time: 20 hours.]
Ruan Tao’s fans: ???
What the hell, they were directly blocked?
Although they were even angrier, their banned accounts did not allow them to continue to speak. They only stared at the screen and at Jiang Fengchi finally reach Qiao Dai’s room.
Damn, they were so angry!
Ruan Tao’s fans wanted to curse everybody, while the staff members, who were following Jiang Fengchi, gave him an OK gesture, letting him know the viewers trying to start a scolding war had been banned. Jiang Fengchi nodded to them, grateful.
When he had seen the first curses, he had been unhappy inexplicably. The production team had arranged him to broadcast live to increase the popularity of the show; they had not arranged him to only bring heat to one player in particular. It was his right to record whoever he wanted, who decided some needed to be under the camera while the other needed to stay in the dark? Therefore, he had asked the staff to block all the scolding accounts that were trying to slander other players.
