Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Ji Changqing’s Sharp Eyes

“Dear guests, contestants, and our live audience friends, the final expert judging of this Autumn Expo is about to begin. Please take your seats promptly.”

Everyone followed the announcement to gather at the main hall.

At the center of the venue, a stage was set up with a massive screen at the back, the experts and guests seated in the front, contestants behind them, and the audience further back.

The organizers went all out for this Autumn Expo, accommodating nearly a thousand people, with some latecomers having to stand at the back.

Thanks to Su Jinxiao and Kite, more people were gradually arriving on-site.

Song Shiyu was a few minutes late due to a last-minute meeting and was currently on his way.

Before Jiang An left, he noticed a trending topic on Weibo—Su Jinxiao chasing after a pretty lady…

During a pause at the red light, he glanced at the rear-view mirror, wondering if the boss had seen it.

Song Shiyu sat elegantly in the back seat, finished handling the last few matters, and then checked WeChat, finding it empty of messages.

After clicking on the WeChat profile of “Youyou Agricultural Products Shop,” he saw two posts about the Autumn Expo.

minutes ago.

Hmph, this little ingrate hasn’t come to him for help for two days straight!

Yet, she has the leisure to post on social media here.

What’s this…

[I’m so jealous, Youyou! I saw Su Shen chatting with you in Kite’s live stream!]

[Wailing, I remember when my mom wanted me to choose Agricultural College for my university application, and I resolutely rejected it…]

[Why do I have classes today! Otherwise, I’d definitely be there in person!]

…

Below Chi Youyou’s post, there was a long list of lamenting comments.

Song Shiyu squinted, swiped a slender finger, exited WeChat, and opened Weibo.

Sitting in the driver’s seat, Jiang An glimpsed the glance and felt a jolt in his heart.

Great, what should be hidden can’t be hidden…

Sure enough, he soon saw his boss’s face darkening considerably.

Young Master Su Jinxiao, you better pray for yourself!

Amber knew it was the last day of the Autumn Expo today, and she had been glued to Kite’s live stream. She was slightly surprised to see Su Jinxiao sidestep Kite to approach Chi Youyou.

She was just surprised that Su Jinxiao would speak to Chi Youyou in public.

The other people in her office were crazily cheering.

But upon seeing Chi Youyou’s face, even Amber’s rival Yaya couldn’t help but marvel.

“This is just a perfect celebrity face! Not becoming a star or a streamer is such a waste!”

“Doesn’t she look familiar to you all?”

People who manage talents have an excellent memory for faces. Although the incident in Fang Yifei’s live stream wasn’t long ago, photos online mysteriously disappeared, so over time, many people forgot.

“Aren’t all beautiful people like this?”

“Hahaha, that’s so true. She was the most popular girl in Kite’s live stream yesterday. I watched her introduction, and she’s perfect for streaming!”

Someone responded along.

Mentioning Kite, Yaya glanced at Amber.

“Amber, since Kite is doing so well now and you’re participating in the Song Family’s collaborative streaming, is it to compete with Kite?”

Bringing up a sensitive topic.

The conversation in the office suddenly quieted down, and those watching decided to keep mum.

“If you really want to compete with Kite, I think that girl is great. She’s already so popular in Kite’s live stream. If you sign her up to your side as a streamer, she’d definitely do better than that country girl who doesn’t dare show her face!”

Amber raised an eyebrow at that.

“No need to worry about my business. You should be concerned about whether your Princess Feifei can secure the Song Family’s collaborative streaming. Anyway, this month’s new streamer spot is out of the question.”

“You!”

“Sister Yaya, don’t stoop down to her level!”

Yaya, provoked by Amber’s final comment, almost impulsively reacted, restrained by her assistant.

“Hmph! It’s just a new streamer. Would Feifei care? We’re aiming to become superstar streamers! Let’s go!”

Amber watched Yaya leave with a cold laugh.

Superstar streamer?

She wondered, if Yaya found out that the girl she was just praising was the same country girl she derided, would she be so mad she’d be cross-eyed?

The image of Yaya in a cross-eyed rage popped into Amber’s mind, making her chuckle.

She shook her head and continued watching the Autumn Expo’s live stream.

Apart from Kite, the official Autumn Expo account was also streaming the event.

Everyone on-site was ready.

The Autumn Expo’s final review and award ceremony were about to start.

“Welcome to the 2022 International Autumn Expo! I’m Xiao Love, your host for today. It’s my honor to host this event. On behalf of the Autumn Expo organizers and co-hosts, I warmly welcome everyone who traveled from afar.”

The host’s outfit was simple, not as extravagant as a red carpet look.

“First, let’s welcome our panel of expert judges to enter!”

“Director Liao from the International Agricultural Research Institute, Dean Qian from the Agricultural Research Institute, President Yang from Sanmu Group…”

“Let’s give them a big round of applause!”

The atmosphere at the venue was indeed vibrant.

It was Chi Youyou’s first time participating in such a competition; the grandest event she’d ever attended before was probably her university’s opening ceremony.

Seated among the contestants, she curiously looked around with wide eyes.

Just then, she caught the eye of a little old man and made a funny face, almost making him laugh out loud.

The contestants were all in one area, so not far from Chi Youyou was Zhai Li.

Xu Muping nudged Zhai Li, “Lili, look, the director of the International Agricultural Research Institute is looking at you!”

“Shush, keep it down.”

Zhai Li smiled, indicating she wanted to stay low-key.

Many envious glances were immediately cast their way.

No one noticed Chi Youyou’s funny face; they all just saw Director Liao seemingly looking over with a friendly smile.

Even those beside Director Liao thought he was greeting Zhai Li.

They all silently decided if possible, Zhai Li should score a little higher.

However, sitting on the other side, Ji Changqing showed a surprised expression.

Because he clearly saw the interaction between Chi Youyou and Director Liao!

So, everyone guessed right only halfway!

Director Liao indeed came over to someone from their school!

But that person wasn’t Zhai Li; it was Chi Youyou!

Having seen much of the world and genuinely acknowledging Chi Youyou, he merely felt both envy and a sense of inevitability.

Just not sure if his old man knew about this~
