Chapter 103

The two got on the elevator and went to visit all the employees in the SANJIAO Video staff work area first. As they walked by, they saw banners hung on the doors and LED screens on the walls all saying:

"Welcome celebrity employees onboard!" When they entered, someone specially gave them exclusive employee badges.

SANJIAO Video had prepared very thoughtfully. The badges had their names, photos and employee numbers, making it seem as if they were really new colleagues joining the company.

Qin Wei couldn't help but ask the young lady who was distributing the badges:

"Will I be able to come to work at SANJIAO Video with this badge in the future?"

The surrounding employees cheered her on excitedly:

"Sister Qin Wei, you're welcome to join us any time!"

When Qiao Sixiao got her badge, the two obediently put them around their necks and took the initiative to strike poses to cater to the employees who had gathered to take photos of them.

After taking the photos, the two of them went in. The staff at the door were a little worried:

"Boss, the other three haven't arrived yet. Would it be considered negligence on our part...?"

The supervisor was standing with his arms crossed, looking inside. He then glanced at his phone—the security guards downstairs had just sent a message. He took a look and then said:

"They've just arrived. Let's go down to welcome them!"

The staff looked downstairs. At the moment, everyone was gathered on the second floor in the office and hallway:

"Would it be a bit... deserted..."

The supervisor spread his hands:

"They've come so many times already, don't you know? Whether there are many people or few depends on the celebrities' own popularity. As long as we follow the procedures, we won't be negligent."

...

The two of them were already in the office area. The employees here were instantly excited—firstly because they were already well-known celebrities with high popularity and topic value, and secondly because the variety show Sailing Against the Wind was airing and generating a lot of buzz about the two, pushing their topic value to the maximum.

Anyone would be thrilled to see them, let alone have big celebrities take the initiative to come greet them and give benefits.

Although the notice came late, Qiao Sixiao's company still made ample preparations overnight. The tumblers and pens she endorsed, as well as the jewelry, were packed in gift boxes and now given to every employee present.

Qin Wei had also prepared. She had asked Li Yao to buy milk tea and bring it over, which she was now distributing to each employee.

Not only that, she also had Qiao Sixiao distribute the milk tea together with her, not forgetting to say:

"This is prepared by me and Teacher Qiao."

Danmu comments:

[Ahhhh! I can only squeal like a groundhog now!]

[So envious of the little brothers and sisters there! I also want Little Qiao to hand me milk tea!]

[Sister Qin's "Teacher Qiao", I really love it! They're here to give us sugar tonight!]

[Keep it together everyone, this is clearly just fanservice, deliberately shoving it in our faces. It's all fake sugar.] [We all know this is fanservice, but this is a treat for the shippers. Others may not know, but we have rules in the fan community now—from now on, we only indulge in our fantasies within our community. Today is an exception since they're the ones giving us sugar!]

[Ahhhhhhh Sister Qin! Mama loves you!!]

[Lively tonight, destined to be sleepless!]

Just then someone shouted from the door:

"They're here!"

Everyone quieted down and looked towards the door. Liu Xin and the other two had just gotten out of the elevator with the supervisor.

They hadn't gotten to experience the grand reception they'd imagined, and were feeling a little displeased. But when they saw all the employees looking in their direction, they felt better.

At least the fans still cared about them.

"The oranges Sister Qin Wei gave us have arrived!!"

That employee shouted loudly,

"Oranges air freighted from Southwest China, one box per person, enough for every employee in the company! Temp workers, dispatched workers and interns remember to come get them!"

All the employees were very happy and turned to thank Qin Wei again.

The group of three at the door sank into silence again...

It was about time, and now that Liu Xin and the others had arrived, they could only follow behind everyone else because of how crowded it was. Later, the staff led the five celebrities to the livestream room to continue the shoot.

The livestream room they chose had transparent glass walls, allowing idle employees to watch from outside. The five celebrities also greeted them openly, seeing people holding up phones to take pictures and continuing to cater to them tirelessly.

Including Liu Xin, the three who arrived late didn't dare to scowl at this time.

They hadn't brought Qin Wei with them—they'd originally wanted to seize the opportunity for themselves, but didn't expect Qiao Sixiao to be behind them.

It was said Qiao Sixiao's personal driver drove steadily and maintained speed, never slipping up at critical moments, so she preferred to take her own car wherever she went. That's why she'd notified them early on not to wait for her.

They knew Qiao Sixiao was coming in her own car, but didn't expect she was willing to give Qin Wei a ride too. Liu Xin was increasingly confused—had her memories been tampered with? Weren't those two rivals?

With the cameras on her and so many eyes watching, Liu Xin smiled brilliantly.

She would tactically admit defeat for now, but this wasn't over.

The live room quickly reached the number of viewers the organizers had predicted, and the interview segment officially began.

The host invited the five to take their seats, then started cueing the script:

"Welcome, welcome!

Welcome to our five ladies visiting SANJIAO Video, and to all the fans and friends in the live room. The livestream has started!"

"Let's have the ladies greet everyone first!"

Starting from the left, it was Liu Xin's group first.

When it was Qiao Sixiao's turn, she said:

"Hello everyone in the live room, I'm Qiao Sixiao, a trainee on Sailing Against the Wind."

"I'm Qin Wei, a trainee on Sailing Against the Wind."

Danmu comments floated across the screen:

["The Wei-Xiao cp wishes everyone a happy new year!"]

Seeing the real-time danmu, the host couldn't help but applaud:

"Looks like we have a lot of friends with a purpose here! Then I'll get right to it and move into our Q&A segment."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the staff passed over several cue cards: "Since its premiere, Sailing Against the Wind has received a lot of attention from netizens. We've compiled some of the questions netizens are most concerned with—now please help us answer them!"

"Question 1: Weiwei, do you know what the Wei-Xiao cp means?"

Qin Wei nodded:

"Yes, it means me and Teacher Qiao together."

The host's mouth also curled involuntarily upwards:

"Ah, so Weiwei usually calls Qiaoqiao 'Teacher Qiao'? What does Qiaoqiao call Weiwei then?"

Qin Wei shook her head:

"Calls me by my full name, Qiao Sixiao."

Qiao Sixiao also answered truthfully:

"I also call her by her full name, Qin Wei."

"You two seem to get along very well! Have you considered using more intimate forms of address?"

Danmu comments:

[Ms. Qiao]

[Ms. Qin]

[Calling each other by full name is intimate!]

"Question 2: In the show, Weiwei received a sunflower. Was it from Qiaoqiao?"

Qiao Sixiao nodded:

"That day during the livestream, netizens said gifting Qin Wei a sunflower would bring a surprise, so I tried it."

The host continued asking:

"Surprise? What surprise?"

Qiao Sixiao shook her head:

"None. I waited quite a while too."

The danmu flooded the screen:

[You'd get a wife]

Qin Wei kept laughing silently after reading them.

The host turned to ask Qin Wei:

"Weiwei, how did you feel when you received the sunflower? Did you like it?"

Qiao Sixiao answered innocently before Qin Wei could:

"She said she didn't like it. I feel the netizens might have gotten it wrong—what she likes isn't sunflowers, but sunflower seeds. What you all had me gift her was unripe."

Danmu:

[Why do I feel Little Qiao is also becoming more comedic??]

...

The host suddenly threw out another question:

"Have you read fanfiction about the Wei-Xiao cp?"
